So, that day, after returning to his villa from the company, Zhou Ping was loosening his tie with one hand while climbing the stairs and calling his mother with the other.
He first asked how Mrs. Zhou was doing recently, then asked about any new happenings at home, before inquiring about how the little girl was managing, and if she had any difficulties adjusting to living at his place these days.
Upon Zhou Ping's questioning, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but sigh, "Aunt Mo's passing really devastated her. She grew up with just one mother all her life, and suddenly she was gone. It would be hard for anyone to get over that quickly. As for living in a new environment, she doesn't seem to have any issues with that, but I often see her eyes are red, probably from crying over her mom in secret. If you have time, give her a call too, even just a few words would be good."
"I understand, Mom. You don't need to worry too much."
