Luo Yanqing frowned.
Seeing this, Director Song spoke in a warm, gentle voice, "Don’t rush to conclusions, listen to finish what I have to say."
Luo Yanqing, "Why should I help them out?"
Director Song, "By giving a little support, your biological mother’s family will be able to stand on their own two feet and look forward to life, avoiding the possibility of them coming to you with their problems every ti they face a difficulty."
"Whatever plans they might have regarding , I have to be willing to go along with them."
Luo Yanqing’s voice was clear and sharp, without a hint of warmth.
"I understand what you’re saying, but isn’t it botherso to have them buzzing in your ear like mosquitoes? Maybe you’ll say that at the bureau, they can’t reach you, but have you thought about Li Bao and Ruirui? If your biological mother and the others show up ti and again in front of Li Bao and the other mothers, are you sure Li Bao won’t get annoyed and angry with you?"
Luo Yanqing quietly listened to Director Song’s remarks, speechless.
"Li Bao is very understanding, and Ruirui, along with the others, are well-behaved kids, but no matter how good-natured soone is, if they’re constantly plagued by troubles, they’re bound to beco impatient. And then, it’s likely that feelings of resentnt will arise."
Director Song watched Luo Yanqing’s expression subtly change without stirring himself, and, not seeing any particular reaction, he continued, "Based on the incident where your biological mother and her two sons found their way to the compound before, she doesn’t appear to be a woman who is particularly unreasonable or troubleso. This can be inferred from the fact that she hasn’t co to North City again."
"How would you like to support them?"
Luo Yanqing halted, his gaze fixed intently on Dean Song.
"According to Director Nie, your biological mother has quite a few sons. There are at least four who are grown or about to grow up. The eldest is already married and can be disregarded, but the second, third, and fourth sons—I think sending them to serve in the military might be a good option. What do you think?
That way they can receive a stipend every month, which not only allows them to send a portion back to support the family and the younger brothers but also enables them to save a little for themselves. In the future, when they want to get married, they won’t have to worry about not having any money."
Luo Yanqing resud walking, his lips tight, and after a long mont, he spoke indifferently, "I need ti to consider it."
"Mrs. Qi ntioned that your two half-brothers are strong and tall, and serving as soldiers, they might actually make a na for themselves. Even if one day they are demobilized or switch to a different profession, at the very least, their thought process will be vastly different from what it is now."
Still not hearing Luo Yanqing respond, Director Song sighed lightly, "After all, they are related to you in so way. If—I’m just saying if—they keep lazing around and end up with a hard life, they will certainly turn to you again. If you ignore them and let them make a fuss, it will cause so trouble for you and Li Bao."
"I don’t owe them anything!" Luo Yanqing’s face was expressionless. "They are not my brothers! I’ve already made it clear to that woman, I will send her living expenses as the law requires when she’s of age."
After a brief pause, Luo Yanqing continued, "As for the troubles you ntioned, I don’t care about them, and I believe Li Bao won’t care either."
Director Song, "So you’ve made up your mind not to help out your biological mother’s family?" He genuinely ant well, since after all, Wang Guilan is this young man’s biological mother.
If they are not properly appeased and given sothing to look forward to in life, who knows when they might bring her second husband’s whole string of sons to stir up trouble in North City again.
With a mother like a crazy woman stirring up issues, could a son focus on his work?
Especially when the nature of the work is far from ordinary,
