Honestly, Qu Fulan is feeling guilty and anxious about cohabiting with her boss, afraid that her own mother might find out.
Despite her mother's confident and graceful demeanor, if she knew Fulan was living with a man she had just recently met through a blind date, she'd probably be shocked upright despite her illness.
Actually, her mother doesn't live here; this is a place Fulan rented for convenience at work. Her mother used to live in the family home when she was healthy, with friends around, and Fulan would visit her every now and then.
But now that her mother is sick, things are different. Fulan visits her every day, never expecting her mother would come to visit her in this humble abode.
It used to be humble, but wasn't it just yesterday that the boss had people come over to refurbish it? And it was all completed within the day today. Qu Fulan was briefly shocked upon entering, even thinking she might have entered the wrong place; this was her first point of shock.
