To be honest, she really didn't want to have a conflict with any of her colleagues.
She had been working there for a year and did her best to maintain good relationships with everyone.
She understood very well that it's every person for themselves. After the incident with Gao Lin, some colleagues ostracized her to suck up to Gu Yuzhi. She understood their reasons, but it did not mean she would continue to tolerate them.
What's that saying? If you smile too much, it becomes a habit, and if you're too approachable, people will think you're a pushover!
People who are too nice get trampled on. As far as Xia Wan'an was concerned, there's a limit to her kindness and a level of measured indifference she kept.
If they showed no signs of relenting in exploiting her kindness, then she saw no need to consistently consider the feelings of these colleagues who she had no emotional connection with.
