A middle-aged woman examined Song Guotao from a distance of several meters for quite a while. She had heard many rumors about him and Mi Wan before, so seeing Song Guotao in this despondent state, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy. Out of this sympathy, she walked over to him and kindly reminded him.
"Thank you." Hearing the woman's reminder, Song Guotao snapped back to reality and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. He then raised his head, showing a forced smile as he thanked the woman.
"You're welcome," the woman replied with a smile.
"You're Ziqi's mom, right?" They had met several times before at kindergarten parent-child activities and were somewhat acquainted, so Song Guotao engaged in some small talk with the woman.
