Less than two days after the special performance ended, gossip sympathizing with Xia Zhaoyun and denouncing the Song Family was rampant throughout the factory, even more so than before.
After all, last time Xia Zhaoyun was covered in scars, but this time she was deaf in her left ear and her right hand was crippled. What's more, the news broke right after she had won such a great honor for the factory.
Public tolerance for the Song Family hit rock bottom.
Song Zhenbao's mother couldn't take it either. She feigned illness and stayed home, fuming.
When she saw her daughter come home, she rushed over. "Sweetheart, why are you back so early? Did someone say something nasty to you?"
"Didn't you say anything back? Your father and I are the ones at fault, not you. You're a victim in all this, too. They have no right to take their anger out on you..."
Song Zhenbao looked at her mother's earnest expression and scoffed internally. 'Who knows how much of this concern is actually genuine?'
