"Mom," Wen Wan said, stunned at first, then her face lit up with joy she could not suppress as she moved quickly around the table towards her mother.
"Grandma," Xiaoguai followed suit with a polite greeting.
"Oh," her mother smiled in response, her benevolent face now lined with several more wrinkles. Today, she was dressed not in prison garb but in a dark purple leisure suit that still made her look like a lady of status.
Wen Wan pulled her mother to the table to sit down, holding her hand without wanting to let go, her eyes slightly red with the happiness that comes after excitement. Seeing her mother appear in City B, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.
"Mom, I was planning to come back to see you, it's just..." Wen Wan tried to explain, but her mother cut her off.
