“Uncle Yan has come back. You haven’t sent a letter to your family about this kind of major event.”
Jiang Donglin was Jiang Donglin after all. He soon changed his attitude like a good brother who cared about his stepbrother and softened his tone: “I’m just worried about you. After all, I’ve never heard anything from you these days. Since you’re back now, when will you go to see your mother? She is very anxious these days. If she hears you coming back to college, she’ll be overjoyed.”
He remembered that Yan Chu always had very intricate feelings about that woman, Gao Yaqin. On one side, he complained that the feelings she put on herself and her two younger siblings she had given birth to later, far exceeded from her concern for him. On the other hand, because that was the only thing he depended on, he had an unspeakable appreciation for her. But one thing was affirmative. Every time he carried out Gao Yaqin’s name, Yan Chu would be obedient. If he wanted to stimulate the other side, Gao Yaqin was also the best weapon.
“Even if it isn’t his own dad’s fault to come back, he isn’t seeing his biological mother who originally had painstakingly to raise him. If you put it this way, Donglin, your father was truly losing money. He helped others to raise their son for so many years in vain and didn’t say anything about compensation. If we don’t come to Yenching to find a fellow student today, I’m afraid you are going to hide for a lifetime, right?”
Jiang Donglin was a good brother, so naturally, he stood on his side. Jiang Donglin also was well-known for his generosity and loyalty to his friends. Now, he saw he seemed somewhat dissatisfied with that younger brother who his stepmother bought. Without any hint from him, he would take the initiative to stand up and help him.
