"Uncle Andy, where are you going?" Celia asked, slowing her pace.

"Celia, I heard that you and your mother had moved out of your house. When I heard about it, I figured you didn't have enough food, so I am here with some. By the way, are you all right?" Andy Wang simpered and asked with a flattering smile.

"Hey, when did you become so polite? Come clean and tell me what is bothering you." Andy wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, don't misunderstand me. It is just that some filthy people are questioning my mother's honor. They have been doubting her with..."

Celia found it hard to finish her sentence. However, glancing at Andy, she was clear he got her meaning. Of course, she also knew that there was nothing going on between her mother and him.
