Mrs. Lu continued, “Hai Ling, don’t take Dong Ming’s words to heart, he’s like a hedgehog right now, covered in thorns, he doesn’t want to see anyone who goes to see him, and says that people go to see him with compassion.”
“Mrs. Lu, I won’t blame Mr. Lu.”
Hai Ling gently drew back her hand.
Not used to being held by Mrs. Lu’s hand in such an intimate manner.
“Hai Ling, I came to find you today because I have something to ask.”
Mrs. Lu cut to the chase, she looked at Hai Ling, her eyes full of pleading as she said, “Hai Ling, we are all saddened by Dong Ming’s current state, but we can’t persuade him.”
“He likes you a lot, he doesn’t want to see you lately, he is suffering from an inferiority complex, he feels that he is crippled and doesn’t want to drag you down, that’s why he refuses to see you.”
Hai Ling silently listened to Mrs. Lu, not saying a word.
Mrs. Lu was also silent for a while before saying, “Hai Ling, I want to ask you to take care of Dong Ming, to help him regain his confidence and be able to stick to his rehab after being discharged from the hospital.”
She felt that only by asking Hai Ling to take care of Dong Ming would Dong Ming be able to regain his confidence and have a chance at recovery.
Otherwise, if he continued to slump like this, there was a real possibility that he would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life.
“I know you are also very busy, business is good, you can make a lot of money in a day, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you suffer, I will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan per day, you only need to work during the day, you don’t need to watch over him at night.”
“What do you think?”
Hai Ling’s Ren You Food business is very good, it hasn’t reached the point of earning ten thousand dollars a day, Mrs. Lu felt that she offered ten thousand dollars a day’s salary to ask Hai Ling to take care of her son and encourage him to regain his confidence, it’s a very high salary.
“Do you have any thoughts about Dongming, and we don’t interfere with you, that’s between you and Dongming, what I just said is the truth, look away, as long as my child lives happily, who cares who he likes and who he wants to marry, I just want my child to live, well, and happily.”
“Hai Ling, I know that my request like this is difficult for you, but I really have no choice ah, I can only come to bother you.”
Mrs. Lu grabbed Hai Ling’s hand once again and begged, “Hai Ling, please, help us, only if you go and take care of Dong Ming, can you get Dong Ming back on his feet. Please, if you think the salary I give you is too little, name a number, no matter how much you want, I will fulfill you.”
Hai Ling waited for Mrs. Lu to finish, then she said, “Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu doesn’t even want to see me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with this favor.”
“Mr. Lu has helped me a lot, he’s in this state now, and I’m heartbroken for him, looking forward to his early recovery, if I can help him, I’ll be happy to do so, but it has nothing to do with feelings, and Mrs. Lu doesn’t have to pay me that high of a salary.”
Mrs. Lu said, “Dong Ming is just hard mouthed and soft hearted, especially towards you, as long as you are willing to go to the hospital to take care of him, he will soften even if he is hard, this will not be a problem.”
“You sacrificed so much time to take care of Dong Ming, I definitely need to compensate you ah, I know you very well, I don’t say I’m asking for your help, you won’t ask for our payment. Hai Ling, just think of it as you are working and getting paid to do your job.”
While taking care of Dong Ming, if Hai Ling had developed feelings for him, Mrs. Lu didn’t care, if she still didn’t have any male-female feelings, Mrs. Lu respected Hai Ling’s decision.
One can only sigh that the two people are destined for each other.
If Dongming doesn’t marry him, she’ll admit it.
It’s her son’s life. He can live whatever life he wants.
I have to say that after Lu Dongming’s accident this time, Mrs. Lu is really open-minded.
But the price she has to pay for her openness is a bit high.
