The stench from the temporary toilet at the construction site was unbearable. A woman wearing a mask with sweat all over her forehead was cleaning the place, scrubbing the indescribable disgusting stains on the ground.

This was a construction site on the outskirts of Cirrus City. The woman wearing a mask was a cleaner with the construction company. It was said that she used to be a high-ranking maid, but after an accident, she was now working as a cleaner with the construction team.

A few young men walked into the toilet, cursing and swearing, and cursed at her when they saw her.

She quickly took the cleaning tools and walked out of the toilet. She waited under the scorching sun for the men to finish using the toilet.

She had experienced the lifestyle of the rich when she worked with a wealthy family before. She claimed that she was very capable and she had no choice but to work here due to circumstances beyond her control. The workers did not like to interact with her, and a few young, aggressive ones would swear at her to vent their anger.

A luxury car was parked outside the construction site today. The woman narrowed her eyes and looked at the car’s logo with two overlapping Ms.

Her previous experience working in a rich family told her that this was a Maybach. In Cirrus City, people who could afford such a car were as rare as a comet. Such people were either rich or noble.

“Shuping, what are you staring at? Are you done cleaning the toilet?”

The person-in-charge of the construction site berated from afar.

Shuping retracted her gaze and walked into the toilet silently.

Why would such a rich family come to this kind of construction site?

When Shuping entered the toilet, she didn’t notice a man who passed by her staring at her face.

As soon as Shuping walked in, she heard a clatter outside, followed by a splash. A basin of cold water was suddenly thrown over her head.

“Fuck! Who the hell…” Before she could finish scolding, she realized that the door that had just been closed was locked.

“Help, help! Who locked the door? Open the door!”

Unwilling to give up, Shuping pressed herself to the ground and looked outside through the crack at the bottom of the door. There was a man wearing exquisite leather shoes standing outside. Although the material of his leather shoes was not the best, it was obvious that he was a fairly rich man.

“Sister Shuping, I’ve spoken to the person in charge of the construction site. The workers will be given a break this afternoon, and they will go off for dinner at night. No one will open the door for you until late at night.”

“Who the hell are you!”

Before Shuping could finish her sentence, memories flashed through her mind. The face of the man at the door and the car outside… Wasn’t that the Cheng family’s car and their chauffeur? Why was he here? Was the Young Master she had locked up before here to take revenge on her?

She pounded madly on the door, hoping that someone would let her out.

However, the people at the construction site were already preparing to go for their meals, so no one could hear her shouting.

“Is everything settled?”

The moment the driver got into the car, he heard Zhou Miao’s inquiry.

“It’s settled, Second Young Mistress. The workers all left when they heard you were treating them to a big meal. No one will open the door for her.”

Zhou Miao smiled. “It’s all thanks to you for finding out where she’s working now. I’m sorry to have troubled you to make this trip with me.”

“It’s nothing. Back then, Sister Shuping was too arrogant. We didn’t really like her.”

Zhou Miao looked at Cheng Heng beside her. He had just seen the entire process of the driver locking Shu Ping inside.

He didn’t say a word except to look at Zhou Miao with a blank expression.

“We’ve locked the old witch inside!” Zhou Miao said, “The bad witch has been punished!”

Cheng Heng’s face was still blank, and the expression above his head was that of a sleepy dazed look.

It was all in vain again! Zhou Miao was a little disappointed that she did not get a smiley face. However, she quickly thought of something else. “I’ll bring you to buy some animal toys and carp pancakes, okay?”

“Carp… pancakes?” Cheng Heng looked at her with his head slightly tilted.

“It’s like what you had the last time. The one that looks like a fish, with red bean filling, and it tastes sweet…”

As she spoke, the expression on Cheng Heng’s head suddenly turned into a smiley face.

“Carp pancakes…” He lowered his head and pursed his lips. The corners of his mouth seemed to curl up a little.

It was really amazing. Did she just see Cheng Heng smile?

There weren’t many people in the downtown area on a weekend afternoon. Zhou Miao brought Cheng Heng to a small stall selling carp pancakes. They stood there looking at the stall vendor making the pancakes.

The aroma of red bean and malt rose with the sizzling sound. Cheng Heng held Zhou Miao’s hand tightly, and his eyes lit up as the golden carp pancake was taken out of the pot.

Cheng Heng took the carp pancake from the stall vendor and ate it in small bites with his head lowered. A smiley face gradually appeared above his head.

Zhou Miao held his hand and strolled around aimlessly for a while. Then she saw that Cheng Heng’s eyes seemed to be staring at a specific store.

Zhou Miao followed his gaze and looked in the same direction. She felt that her jaw was going to drop in the next second.
