Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

One could imagine that the situation of the audience in the live-stream would not be much better.

Shire looked at Lu Zhen and the others worriedly and couldn’t help but say to Bai Ge, “It would be great if they went on stage early. This timing is very disadvantageous to their performance.”

Bai Ge was still as calm as ever. It was as if even if the sky collapsed, it would not let him stand up from his chair. He leaned back in his chair and smiled faintly. “True experts will never be picky about the environment. They will use their strength to prove everything.”

Han Chi looked at Bai Ge in surprise and could not help but say, “You’re so confident in Lu Zhen? Your tone is really arrogant.”

Bai Ge maintained his smile and did not say anything else.

After Lu Zhen and the other three went onto the stage, they quickly got into character. In order to better present Madam Sharon, Lu Zhen changed the script slightly and condensed the plot of the original movie. It was closer to a stage play.

In the first scene, Lu Zhen, who was playing Madam Sharon, was humiliated by the landlady because she didn’t have money to pay the rent. The landlady even threatened Sharon to throw out their things.

Madam Sharon was reprimanded by the landlady. Her expression was filled with anger, humiliation, fatigue, and numbness. After hearing the landlady’s reprimand, she opened her mouth and said hoarsely, “Sorry, please give me a little more time.’

The landlady snorted and rolled her eyes. “If you really can’t, find another man. Stop showing off. You’re just an incompetent woman. It’s impossible for you to support three children!”

The landlady’s words seemed to annoy Sharon. Her brow furrowed and anger and stubbornness flashed in her eyes, but she forcibly resisted the urge to argue back and said nothing.

The camera at the event location gave Lu Zhen a close-up. The audience saw her beautiful and haggard side profile and saw the muscles on her face tremble slightly. There was no exaggerated expression on Sharon’s face, but every audience seemed to be able to sense the forbearance and humiliation in Sharon’s heart at this moment.

The scene changed to Sharon returning to the house with a bag of freshly bought bread and cheap coffee powder.

When her daughter, Rena, saw her mother return home, her expression was cold. She glanced at the thing in Sharon’s hand and her expression was numb. Her son, Ryan, got up from his desk and walked over to Sharon. In a careful and apprehensive tone, he told her that he had been admitted to a special class at the Workers’ School.

To other children, being able to get into the special class with outstanding results was something worth celebrating and showing off. However, at this moment, Ryan’s tone was not happy at all. Instead, it was extremely heavy. Continuing school meant spending more money. Ryan was a sensible child. He was well aware of his family’s financial situation.

Sharon was stunned for two seconds before she forced a smile and looked at her son encouragingly. “Very good. I knew Ryan was the best.”

The camera zoomed in on Sharon’s face. The audience saw that Sharon’s expression at this moment was very complicated. She seemed to be happy, but this happiness was heavy and suppressed. Her dim eyes revealed a hint of pride for her son and love as a mother, but the corners of her drooping eyes revealed the helplessness and panic in her heart.

Her son had gotten into a good school, but where did she get the money to continue his schooling?

After the simple dinner hour, Sharon returned to the study. Although it was called a study, it was actually just a dirty blue cloth separating an area in the kitchen. There was a small desk against the wall behind the blue cloth. On the desk were several old books and a dictionary, as well as an inkwell and a gas lamp. Sharon was so practiced that she took out a piece of paper and prepared to write. She often stayed up all night writing manuscripts. In order not to disturb the children’s rest, she moved the desk to the narrow kitchen.

Sharon finished her draft for the day. Then, putting down her pen, she stared vacantly at the glow of the gas lamp.

The audience didn’t know what Sharon was thinking, but her dull eyes were extremely oppressive.

Many people who had experienced all kinds of hardships in life seemed to have seen themselves. They would often fall into deep confusion and despair late at night, questioning the world and doubting the meaning of their existence.

At dawn, Madam Sharon woke up and started working in the laundromat again. In the laundromat, she saw her husband’s cheating lover. The two women met and naturally disliked each other..
