Lingmeng came to Huai City from her tiny mountain village and stayed with a cousin's sister for a few days.
That cousin's sister seemed somewhat disdainful of this girl who had come from a small mountain village.
Lingmeng was very sensitive, just like when she first got to the "Green Plum" milk tea shop not long after and noticed Boss Lin occasionally glancing at the feet of her, his employee.
She quickly sensed the cousin's disdain for her.
While the cousin smiled at her on the surface, her every word was tinged with scorn for Lingmeng's rusticity.
Lingmeng thought to herself that although she hadn't had much education, she was clever.
She understood.
People in big cities are complicated, one set on the surface and another behind the back.
They smile to her face, but they don't like her.
She had never seen such people in her village.
