"Mrs. Mei, what are you saying? The third brother is fooling around with that little widow?"
Mrs. Qian glanced outside, and after making sure the children hadn't crept over to eavesdrop, she lowered her voice and told Xu Suying, "This happened quite a few days ago, even before Wanqing's engagement. Back then, Chen Bai heard some gossip and went to the sesame pancake shop, wanting to ask the third brother about it."
At the time, the news about "one girl being promised to two families" had just broken out. Chen Bai simply couldn't believe that the people at the old residence could be so foolish.
Although Chen Bai had grown distant from the old residence over the years, he was a soft-hearted man. After all, they had raised him, so when something truly happened, he still worried.
But his timing was off. It was past noon, and as expected, the sesame pancake shop was closed.
