Wu Sha'er, as the leader of Xia Lihua's subunit, felt a sense of responsibility to stand up for her members when necessary.
After Xia Lihua had her say, Wu Sha'er couldn't help but burst into laughter. She was impressed by Xia Lihua's demeanor and resilience. Xia Lihua was far from being naive and an easy target.
From the outset, Wu Sha'er had sensed the deliberate ostracism and neglect directed at Xia Lihua by Xia Mengrui. In her view, Xia Mengrui and Tang Susu, who started the argument, had no basis to behave this way.
Wu Sha'er regarded Xia Lihua with a sense of admiration and sincerity as she spoke, "Xia Lihua, you're certainly a promising talent." If she had she been in Xia Lihua's shoes, she wouldn't have let someone like Xia Mengrui off so easily, even if they were family.
