Pak!
The sound of the door being slammed shut made Zhang Manhua, who was in the kitchen, jump in surprise.
"Ge Ge, are you home?" She stopped what she was doing and dried her hands before she exited the kitchen.
She quickly spotted her daughter, who had just returned from work and was looking very fatigued, near the doorway.
She was clearly very energetic when she left this morning, but upon her return, her face only held a look that spelled: 'I'm beat. I'm very, very beat!'
"Ge Ge, what made you this tired?" She hurried over to her daughter's side in concern.
Seeing her mother's worry, Pei Ge moaned grievously, "Mom…"
"Aii, my daughter, what made you like this? Did you get bullied at work?" Zhang Manhua's heart ached for her daughter.
Bully?
I didn't just get bullied, alright!
Pei Ge was even more aggrieved upon hearing her mother's question.
