426: There's a situation_1

"Accountant Xiang, you're back quite early today?" Xiang Rui had just entered the small courtyard on the women's bicycle that she had bought when she first got married to Lin Baoguo. She was greeted by a smiling middle-aged woman.

There was a hint of impatience in Xiang Rui's eyes as she nodded at the woman. "Yes, I'm back to cook for Old Lin!"

Indifference from Xiang Rui didn't seem to bother the woman, who remained enthusiastic. "Oh, you brought back beef again? The treatment at your work place is truly incomparable."

"Yes!" Xiang Rui had already reached the entrance of the bicycle shed. She parked the bicycle, swiftly locked it, took the key, and picked up the beef. Ignoring the woman, she walked towards her own house.

Inwardly, she felt both annoyed at the woman's presence and a little smug about it.
