Chu Liangxia realized that all packages had been opened beforehand, she probably guessed why, so she didn't say anything and happily accepted the gift parcels sent by friends.
...
Ten days later.
Chu Liangxia finished the trailer, and after receiving Ling Xize's approval, she also received her payment—an offer of money.
Chu Liangxia was very happy and said she wanted to treat Aunt Chen and Ling Xize to a meal. Therefore, she let Aunt Chen use her card to buy groceries and asked Aunt Chen to cook the dishes.
Ling Xize was completely unfazed, acting as if he didn't know that she had mentioned "treating" them.
In response, Chu Liangxia showed a hint of disappointment, but Ling Xize pretended not to see, and had absolutely no intention of bothering with her.
Chu Liangxia, helpless, with a heart as fragile as glass, happily ate the meal.
Her editing career had come to a pause, and Chu Liangxia's structured life was also about to end.
