“Hai Ling, don’t think that ten thousand dollars a day is a lot, Dong Ming has a bad temper right now, he can’t move without losing his temper and throwing things, we’re his real parents, and it was me who caused his car accident to be able to put up with him.”
“Who else would be willing to put up with him? I don’t think anyone wants to make that kind of money when we pay a lot of money for a caregiver to take care of him, he’s just not easy to take care of right now.”
Mrs. Lu felt that spending three hundred thousand dollars a month to hire Hai Ling to take care of Lu Dongming was not expensive at all, as long as her son could get better, she was willing to spend any amount of money.
Three hundred thousand dollars, that was just the cost of one of her bags, and she had bags that cost more than three hundred thousand dollars.
While Mrs. Lu felt that paying ten thousand dollars a day was not much, Hai Ling felt that it was too much.
Her Rendezvous Foods business was booming, but her daily water flow was only a few thousand dollars, far from ten thousand dollars.
“You have to live, you have to support Yang Yang, Yang Yang is in Guancheng Center Kindergarten, right? The tuition fees for this kindergarten are very expensive, even if you are willing to help us unconditionally to take care of Dong Ming, we can’t allow you to do that ah, we’ll have a bad conscience.”
“Hai Ling, I’ll give you three hundred thousand dollars a month, it’s really not much, you don’t have to think about it anymore, and don’t bargain with me anymore, if you bargain with me again, I’ll pay you fifteen thousand dollars a day, and if it’s still too much, I’ll raise it to twenty thousand.”
Hai Ling: “Mrs. Lu, can you let me think again?”
She wanted to talk to her sister about this.
“I’ll reply to you tomorrow.”
Mrs. Lu nodded, “That’s fine, Hai Ling, think about it, I won’t rush you, Dong Ming will have to stay in the hospital for a while longer before he can be discharged. He’s like this now, his father and I can still make it, it’s only troublesome to do rehab later.”
Hai Ling looked at Mrs. Lu’s head full of white hair, this noblewoman, at this moment there is no longer high and mighty, there is only worry about her son, only thinking about making him better.
“Mrs. Lu, I’ll get back to you when I’ve thought about it, don’t worry too much, Mr. Lu is just in a momentary low mood, he’s not that easy to be defeated, he can definitely recover.”
Mrs. Lu sighed and said, “You all comfort me in this way, and I comfort myself in this way as well, but looking at Dong Ming in that state, how can I not be worried? It’s still me as a mom who caused him to become like this, I blame myself to no end.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Lu’s eyes reddened again.
It had only been ten days since the incident, and she seemed to have aged ten years.
Heartache, self-blame, remorse, every moment of every day is tormenting her.
Lu Dongming was not doing well, and she as a mom was not doing well either, but she still had to hold on to take care of her son and encourage him, every time he lost his temper, yelled at her, and knocked things over.
After she cleaned up the mess, she would hide in the restroom and cover her mouth and cry.
“Hai Ling, I’m sorry too, I’m really sorry, don’t take to heart what I told you in the past, I actually don’t hate you as a person, it’s just that the gateway concept made me stop Dong Ming from pursuing you.”
“Right now, I feel that as long as my child is well, nothing else matters, it can all be resolved.”
“You are also a motivated person, right now the gap between you and Dong Ming is large, but I believe that with your hard work, the distance between you and Dong Ming will become smaller and smaller.”
It was true that Mrs. Lu did not hate Hai Ling, she just had a gateway view that Hai Ling was not worthy of her own youngest son, and that was why she kept blocking the two from being together.
No, it was stopping her son from pursuing Hai Ling.
The other person, Hai Ling, has not fallen in love with her youngest son until now.
