Feng Lan must have been dealt a heavy blow by this incident.
Especially since that man had died right before her eyes.
Also, before Xiao Tao went to prison, he had said one thing to Feng Lan: "Mom, I don't hate you."
Feng Lan had burst into tears right then and there.
She and her husband bore a great deal of responsibility for their son ending up this way. Most importantly, if Feng Lan hadn't taken their son to that man, Wang Dagang, none of what happened later would have occurred.
Ultimately, Feng Lan was the most responsible.
If her son had said he hated her, Feng Lan might have felt a little better. She could have even cursed him for being an ungrateful monster, wondering how he could possibly hate his own mother.
But instead, her son said, "I don't hate you."
That just made Feng Lan feel even worse.
