Mom didn't hear, and continued, "No one is bullying you at the company, right? What are your plans for the future?"
"No one bullies me. Shen's is a large corporation. It's not so easy to get bullied there," Xia Chuqing replied. "I plan to stay there for another year and a half, and after that, I'll return to A City with Dad."
"You decide for yourself; I can't give you much advice. No matter what, gaining more work experience is always good. Your dad's situation may have affected you, but don't give up."
"I won't. I'm very motivated at work now."
"That's good." Mom sighed. "Back then, all your dad's friends stayed away, even Uncle Song doesn't associate much with our family now. People are cold. Don't dwell on the past."
"Mom, Heng-ge treats me quite well."
"Hmm." Mom didn't say much, only that things can't go back to how they were.
Xia Chuqing chatted with her mother in the kitchen while her grandparents talked in the living room.
