Chapter 14 Mother’s Warmth
Seeing Wan Chu'er finally quiet down, Manager Bai let out a long sigh and said, "I'm telling you, young lady, can you not be so fierce? It's only because I'm a kind-hearted person. If it were someone else, they wouldn't hesitate to break your leg."
Calm now, Wan Chu'er was taken aback by Manager Bai's words. She had been too angry to think about the consequences.
Indeed, if the other person had not given in to her, what could she have done anyhow? She was only a sixteen-year-old high school student relying on her widowed mother. If someone really wanted to do something to her, even sacrificing her life would mean little more than an ant in the eyes of those with wealth and power.
She raised her hands and looked at them, slender and powerless, holding nothing substantial.
This made Wan Chu'er somewhat dejected. She drooped her shoulders and thanked Manager Bai, then turned to leave the place.
Apart from living her life again, she currently had no leverage here.
Manager Bai watched the girl becoming increasingly disheartened, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, calling out to her, "Hey, why leave just like that? There's no need to be so down, I've given you the job, and even let you save face, aren't you happy about that?"
Wan Chu'er turned to look at him and then seriously said, "You're right, I should go back and focus on my studies. Thank you for letting me off easy today."
"Not really, you were just like a fierce tiger ready to attack, why have you suddenly become lifeless?" Manager Bai's eyes swiveled as he said, "Was it because my comment about 'breaking a leg' hit you hard?"
Wan Chu'er remained silent.
Manager Bai laughed, "Young girl, who would have the heart to break your leg? What I mean is, at your young age, don't be so intensely principled and untouchable, always ready to fight with others to the death. It's not good. It's better to be more flexible in life."
