er Jiang Yao and the lawyer, Mr Jiang, finished their phone call, Zhou Xiaoxia asked, "Is the lawyer here? Brother Jiaxian will get off work in a moment. He will come over after that. He can help me keep an eye on Xiao Cheng while I will go with you to see the lawyer."
"Is this Brother Jiaxian a relative of your family?" Jiang Yao had heard Zhou Xiaoxia mention him several times since she arrived at noon.
"Brother Jiaxian is our neighbor, and he works at the police station. His parents helped care for my parents when they were in the hospital." Zhou Xiaoxia said, "We're lucky to have their help since all these problems started. People say that it is better to have good neighbors than some distant relatives. Now, I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. When this incident happened, none of our relatives dared to show their faces. They were all scared to death. Many people also advised my parents to calm down and not offend those rich people. These relatives are not as good as our neighbors."
After that, Jiang Yao and Zhou Xiaoxia sat at the side and watched as Zhou Xiaocheng played with Moe in her arms. Moe did not pay any attention to Zhou Xiaocheng; he continued to sleep. However, Zhou Xiaocheng could hold him in her arms and talk to him for the whole afternoon; she did not even move until five o'clock when Chen Jiaxian arrived.
Chen Jiaxian arrived earlier than Zhou Xiaoxia had expected. He was supposed to get off work at six o'clock, but he was already there at five. He even brought someone with him.
When Zhou Xiaocheng saw Chen Jiaxian, she immediately hugged him and moved closer to him. She handed Moe to Chen Jiaxian and said happily, "Brother Jiaxian, look at him. Isn't he cute?"
Chen Jiaxian nodded. "Yes, but he's not as cute as Xiao Cheng." As he said that, Chen Jiaxian reached out and patted Zhou Xiaocheng's head. Then, he turned around to face the person behind the door. He said, "Sister Chu, she's Xiao Cheng."
Zhou Xiaoxia guessed that person was the psychiatrist; Chen Jiaxian had left work early to bring her to the house. She quickly looked outside and greeted the person.
