The Rebellious Son's Lie

share time: 2025-10-23 06:02:15

Li Shulan, a single mother, finds her newly employed son Chen Mo suddenly "rebellious": he stays out late claiming "overtime" but smells of hot pot, says he got a "salary raise" yet secretly rummages through old passbooks. Following him, she catches him washing dishes at a hot pot restaurant and rushing to the hospital with medicine. It turns out Chen Mo knew his mother had a chronic illness long ago—afraid she'd refuse treatment to save money, he used "rebellious lies" to hide his vulnerability, saving every penny for her. When the lie is exposed, mother and son cry together in the hospital corridor—all the unspoken love is hidden in the lie of "I'm fine."
