An Xiulan didn't go to the office that day. Of course, she could not go. She was suspended for an indefinite period. What could she do at home? Nobody knew about her suspension. In the end, she spent the whole day sleeping in her room. Soon, the evening came and her parents returned. It was dinner time and she did her best to avoid any kind of talk that would ignite any discussion over her.
Everyone returned to the room after the dinner. The breakfast was early the next day and she joined her family for it.
"Will you come home early in the evening?" An Qinyan asked. Before An Xiulan could reply to anything, her mom added, "Your uncle and I will be going to a business colleague's party in the evening. We might be late. Don't wait for us for the dinner."
An Xiulan nodded her head, lightly chewing with her head buried in her bowl.
