Su Cheng saw his mother like this, and he felt even worse inside. He always felt that after coming back this time, the relationship between him and his mother had somehow changed.
His mother's dominance had been evident before, and although Su Cheng was rebellious, more often than not, he accommodated her.
But now that he was back, not only did she look more than ten years older, but she also seemed to have become a clueless child, extremely cautious in everything she did, for fear that a careless mistake might irritate Su Cheng.
He felt helpless. He wanted to help his mother become as confident as she used to be, but it seemed difficult; and it made sense, for when anyone's pride is trampled underfoot, there will be a substantial change, making them seem obscure and no longer filled with confidence.
