With Xiao Zhuo's return, Zheng Tan had originally planned to block Zhuo Xiaomao from bringing people to the courtyard and then give him his Children's Day gift, but now it seemed unnecessary, as no gift could make him happier than Xiao Zhuo's return. The so-called consolation gift was also redundant.
The gift would not be given today, and there was no hurry, he would wait for another opportunity.
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Tan could choose the right moment, Xiao Zhuo showed up at the door. After visiting Mr. Jiao and Jiao Ma for a while, Xiao Zhuo spoke to them, obviously not about the projects she had participated in—those were covered by confidentiality agreements and could not, should not be disclosed. Just like the excuse Buddha had found for her to go abroad for research, she only talked about the studies she had participated in overseas these years. She did not elaborate much, after all, it wasn't true, and Xiao Zhuo did not want to tell too many lies.
