After leaving the Gu family's home that day, Xiao Man returned to the Tang family residence to grab a few things. Then, she and Hao Hao said goodbye to Grandma Tang and took a car to school.
She first dropped Hao Hao off at Kyoto University before heading back to the Medical College she was attending. Xiao Man probed the area with her consciousness and discovered that the school's east and west gates were locked. Only the main gate was open, and in the guardhouse next to it sat two women: Lin Aizhen and Wu Xiaowen.
Xiao Man sneered and had the driver stop near the west gate. She got out, looked both ways, and when there were few people around, she jumped straight over the wall. She walked briskly back to her dorm building. 'If that mother-daughter pair wants to wait, then let them sit there and wait.'
'So what if they came to her door? Even if the whole world thought she was unreasonable and unfilial, Xiao Man would rather bear that reputation than treat Lin Aizhen.'
