Mama Song

Xu Lan pushed the door open. For that brief moment, no one could recognize him: it was not because Xu Lan dressed haggardly, but rather, he was stooping. They could not help but rub their eyes.

It should be known that Xu Lan became particularly concerned about his reputation after all that happened with the Xu family. He conducted himself in a very self-disciplined manner and his posture was straightened at all times. He was worried that someone might castigate him and that word might spread back to that bunch of people. Xu Lan treated everyone with honesty and sincerity; he handled matters swiftly and decisively too. There was never a time where he was seen in such a depressed state!

"Xiao Xu, are you okay?" Wang Meng walked over to pat Xu Lan on the shoulder. Only then did Wang Meng notice that Xu Lan was much thinner than he appears! Even a slap might be sufficient to take his last breath away.
