However, this area is more remote.

Gu's mother and Le's mother, who were allowed to enter to see people, were placed in the place where Le Yao was staying. A strong smell of urine hit them, and the two almost ran away from the stench.

Numb and desperate, Yue Yao, who had been locked up for less than ten days, seemed to have aged ten years.

His eyes were lifeless, and his gaze fell on the faces of Le's mother and Gu's mother, thinking he was seeing things.

As they walked toward him, he was immediately embraced by Le's mother.

"My child, my poor child, you have suffered so much. It's my fault for being too late!" Mother Le's heart ached as if it were being torn apart. How could her outstanding and beautiful daughter, who shone brightly in the art troupe, have turned out like this?

It's all Gu Weizhou's and Ruan Yunxi's fault.

It's all their fault, they deserve to die!

Le Yao realized that she wasn't dreaming; her mother had really come to find her.

Thinking of this, Le Yao broke down emotionally and hugged her mother, crying loudly.

Seeing the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms, Gu's mother couldn't bear it. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and gave them some private space.

Mother Gu stepped out of the small room where Le Yao was imprisoned and went outside to breathe in the fresh air.

I never expected the conditions here to be even worse than when they were in solitary confinement.

If this is the consequence of committing a crime, Gu's mother swore she would never commit a crime.

After hugging each other enough, the mother and daughter asked about each other's situations. Le Yao asked, "When can I go out?"

Le's mother looked unwell.

Le Yao cried out in desperation, "I don't want to stay here! I don't want to go to a labor camp! Mom, please save me! Don't abandon me! Waaah!"

Mother Yue felt sorry for her daughter and comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, Mom will find a way!"

Le Yao felt relieved: "Mom, get me out of here as soon as possible. This is no place for a human being. I want to go back to Beijing. I also want to go back to the cultural troupe. I want to get revenge on Ruan Yunxi. I want Gu Weizhou to know that I, Le Yao, am better than that bitch Ruan Yunxi."

"Don't worry, I'll call your dad in a bit and have him handle it." Mrs. Le knew her husband's capabilities; if they, mother and daughter, weren't enough, how could he not be?

Knowing her father's abilities, Le Yao nodded: "I will definitely talk to my father properly and ask him to take me back."

Mom nodded.

Le Yao asked, "Why is Aunt Jin here?"

“I asked her to come with me. Your Aunt Jin is incompetent, a good-for-nothing. She can’t even control her own daughter-in-law and son. She’s so stupid,” said Mother Le with disdain.

Le Yao rolled her eyes: "Mom knows perfectly well that she's always been indecisive and can't compare to you. Since we're already here, let's use her if we can. If they're not letting us have an easy time, then you can bully Aunt Jin as much as you want."

Le's mother thought so too.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance; they were indeed blood relatives.

Just then, Gu's mother, who happened to be there to check on the mother and daughter, overheard their conversation. She paused, her expression changed, and a flash of anger crossed her eyes before she finally turned and walked away silently.

Gu's mother felt that she was a failure as a person.

Her son wasn't close to her, and the best friend she thought she was was just using her.

She thought her beloved child genuinely loved her and wished she could treat her like her own daughter. Who knew that if she wasn't her biological child, she wouldn't be? If only her daughter hadn't died, she wouldn't be such a heartless ingrate like Le Yao!

The thought of her daughter, who was born without breathing, made Gu's mother feel distressed.

"Are you... are you alright?" a timid voice asked tentatively.

Mother Gu was dizzy and pale, looking like she was about to faint at any moment. The young comrade was so frightened that she said, "Don't go that way, there's no road there. If you're going to the family compound, go that way!"

Mother Gu looked up at the thin, timid woman in front of her, who was slightly hunched over and didn't dare to look people in the eye when she spoke, looking cowardly and humble.

But she had a pair of beautiful eyes, as if I had seen them somewhere before.

If her daughter were still alive, she would probably have such beautiful narrow eyes too!
