She watched Gu Ziyan leave and remained silent for a while before speaking steadily, "Mom, sometimes running away doesn't solve problems. The more I shrink back in fear, the more others will think I'm easy to bully. Life will only get harder. I've always felt that only when I've become strong and capable, can I truly solve problems."
"Strong and capable?! How strong and capable can a woman be? Don't overestimate yourself," Qi Huifen seemed somewhat disdainful.
Qiao Xiguan didn't say too much. Qi Huifen had always been opposed to her working outside, and if she were to be defiant now given the current situation, her future days would not be easy. She bit her lip and said, "I'll deal with this matter first. Whether or not I continue to work will depend on dad's decision. Plus, dad told me today not to go to work for the time being. The office meeting will decide my future."
For Qi Huifen, Qiao Xiguan was more submissive.
At least on the surface, she was submissive.
