Mom's Warmth

Seeing that Wan Chao had finally calmed down, Manager Bai let out a long sigh and said, "Aunt, can you not be so unyielding? It's just that I have a good heart, otherwise, it would be strange if I didn't break one of your legs."

When the calmed down Wan Chao heard Manager Bai's words, she was stunned for a moment. She was too focused on getting angry just now, so she didn't think too much about it.

She was only a sixteen-year-old high school student who lives together with her mother. If someone else really wanted to do something to her, she would have put her life on the line. In the eyes of those rich and powerful people, she was nothing more than a tiny ant.

She raised her hands and looked. They were thin and powerless. There was nothing to hold on to.

This made Wan Chao a little depressed. She slumped her shoulders and said to Manager Bai, "Thank you." She then turned around to leave.

She didn't have any capital to barge in here.

Manager Bai saw that the little girl was getting more and more dejected, and couldn't help but laugh. He quickly called out to her, "Hey, why are you leaving so quickly? You don't have to be so dejected. You've already gotten the job and your face is still twisted. Why aren't you happy anymore?"

"You're right. I should go back and study hard. Thank you for taking care of me today."

"No, wasn't she a tigress who was about to eat someone just now? How come she died in the blink of an eye?" Manager Bai rolled his eyes and said: "Could it be that you were shocked by what I said earlier, 'broken leg'?"

Wan Chao did not utter a sound.

Manager Bai laughed, "Who would have the heart to break your legs? I mean, you are still so young, don't be so tough like a woman. This isn't good, it's better to be more flexible as a person."

"Do you want me to kiss your ass? "Don't even think about it!"

This child!

Manager Bai choked again and couldn't help but ask, "Have you never suffered any grievances since you were young? That's impossible. Just look at your injuries, why are you still so arrogant!?" What I mean by being 'flexible' is not to flatter others, it is for you to not make quibble with others over everything …

"Sigh, why are you leaving? Come back, I haven't finished speaking. Do you still want that job …"

Wan Chao ignored the muttering from Manager Bai behind her and left the bar.

Although she felt that Manager Bai's words were reasonable, this wasn't a place she should stay. If she did, with her unyielding personality, perhaps she would have to fight with Manager Bai again. It was better to not see him, right now she couldn't afford to offend someone like Manager Bai, she couldn't even afford to offend the bar, so she felt that she came here recklessly.

That's right, she had prepared this job for Liu Li.

If Liu Li had the money from her family, she wouldn't have to extort her for five yuan a day.

In the long run, Liu Li would probably not be able to afford 15 yuan per day. In the end, it was very possible that she would not be able to pay back the money, and would instead come back to cause trouble for Wan Chao. If that was the case, it would be quite troublesome.

If she gave Liu Li a job, she would solve most of her pressure. The remaining 5 yuan wouldn't be a burden to her. It would make Liu Li less resistant to the pressure, but it would also make her restless.

With this job to do, Liu Li's study time will be reduced and she won't have the time and energy to make trouble for her.

Furthermore, the Earthly Paradise was a nightclub, and the people coming and going there are not honest people. Working there every day and getting infected with this environment, their perception of life would be affected.

Today was her lucky day, and everything that needed to be done at Earthly Paradise was settled.

It was already late when she came out of Earthly Paradise. Wan Chao was afraid that Bai Zhexi might be worried at home, so she went straight home.

As expected, when she was still some distance away from the courtyard, Wan Chao saw Bai Zhexi waiting under the lamp outside the courtyard, stretching her neck and looking around.

At the sight of this, Wan Chao's heart warmed and she quickened her pace.

Very soon, Bai Zhexi saw the figure of Wan Chao. She called out, "Chao'er?"

"Yes." Wan Chao responded and walked even faster.

Bai Zhexi hurriedly said, "Slow down. There's no need to rush." She walked up to her in two steps.

After the two of them returned home, Bai Zhexi didn't ask where Wan Chao went or what she did, but only carefully said, "Chao'er, mom will help you apply some medicinal oil. This way, your injuries will get better as soon as possible."

Wan Chao felt a bit of heartache when she saw Bai Zhexi's cautious appearance. She couldn't say anything to refuse, so she could only say, "I'm going to take a bath. Wipe it for me then."

"Ai, alright, alright. Mom will go get some medicinal oil right now. You can take a bath first."

She pulled open the door of the old wardrobe, and it revealed the clothes inside: the family is poor, even if Bai Zhexi doted on her, she wouldn't be able to get her two sets of clothes a year.

Previously, Wan Chao had complained to Bai Zhexi about this matter, but now, she was no longer that young girl who loved beauty, so she casually took her pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.

After the bath, Wan Chao lay on the bed. Bai Zhexi poured the ointment into her hand and slowly rubbed it into her daughter's injured body.

"Chao'er, you must not listen to Zhuo Yao. Don't do anything that you don't want to , just fight back, and don't let others hit you as they please. If that happened, it would only make those people even more rampant."

"If anyone hits you, just hit them back. Beat those people up and let them know that you are not that easy to bully. If you beat them up, they will naturally not bully you."

His mother's warm hands were gently massaging his body. Wan Chao felt her heart warm. It felt really good.

"Don't worry, in the future, whoever dares to hit me, I'll return the blow three times. Whoever dares to kick me, I'll kick them three times, and she won't be easily bullied again."

"Yes." Bai Zhexi nodded. "That's how it should be."

"Increase your strength. This way, the effect is better. I'm not afraid of pain." Wan Chao said.

"Alright, if it hurts, then just scream." Bai Zhexi also knew that if she used more strength, the effects would be better. Perhaps the green and purple color would change tomorrow.

Wan Chao did not utter a sound, but silently endured the pain.

Seeing that her daughter was so patient, Bai Zhexi spoke to her to divert her attention.

"Chao'er, how did you know Zhuo Yao's intentions?"

Wan Chao'er was silent, how did she know? With a painful life.

"I accidentally overheard her talking to someone else and discovered it."

"Good thing you heard it. You found out Zhuo Yao's true face earlier. We can't afford to offend a villain like her, so we'll just avoid her. Study hard in the future, you're still young, and you'll have a long way to go.

"Entering a good university, that's what's good for you. It's best to go to the university and see the outside more".

Amidst Bai Zhexi's gentle words, Wan Chao slowly fell asleep.
