This result was not unexpected for Meng Fuyan and Meng Suqin before they arrived. Meng Suqin had dealt with them before and naturally knew who Meng Weiguang was. Ever since he went abroad, this guy wanted to sever all ties with everything in China.
However, this person is Xu Aihua's uncle, and they are from the same parents. Meng Fuyan plans to support Xu Aihua in the future, so before that, she must make him realize who Meng Weiguang really is.
Meng Suqin continued, "But Uncle, Aihua is still suffering in China. His whole family is working on a farm in Northeast China. The conditions there are too harsh. They don't have enough to eat or wear, and they have to do heavy physical labor every day. They've never done farm work before, and they've never lived in the north. In such a harsh environment, if no one helps them, they won't last more than a few years. He's your own nephew. Are you really willing not to help him?"
Meng Weiguang was very unhappy. He didn't want to pay attention to those people and didn't want to care at all. Chinese people already faced discrimination in Gotham City, and if he contacted those people, he would be looked down upon even more.
Besides, he had heard about the situation in China, and if he contacted those people at this time, he might be in danger himself.
“I’ve heard about the situation in China. Overseas connections are a matter of life and death. If I contact them, wouldn’t that be harming them? What are you really up to?”
Meng Suqin sneered, "We only came from China in the last few years, so naturally we know the environment there better than you. Overseas connections can indeed be harmful, but that's for those who defect overseas. The country has always treated those who are helpful to the country's development well. Xu Aihua is your own nephew. Now, because of you, he has lost his job and is being smeared. His whole family has to go to a remote place to suffer. He tried every means to ask me to contact you, hoping that you could save him. Now that I've told you the way, you clearly have the ability to save him, so why don't you?"
Meng Weiguang was somewhat embarrassed and angry because he didn't want to have anything to do with the past. Back in China, his family were slaves, or even illegitimate sons of slave families, and they suffered all kinds of cold looks and mistreatment. They finally had the opportunity to go abroad and come to this developed, free and democratic place. They finally started to live a decent life, but they were still looked down upon because of their former status.
Chinese people are not valued here at all, and he doesn't like this identity at all. Now he has to risk his life to save those people and get involved with his former identity again, which he is unwilling to do at all.
Now we're trying to rescue them from their misery, but what's the next step? Are we going to support them, then help them go abroad so they can come and beg for money?
Meng Weiguang has many children and grandchildren, so he doesn't need a nephew who is only a few years younger than him.
If we save him, we might get into trouble. What if Xu Aihua cooperates with China to capture them all in order to get out of trouble?
The safest and most convenient option is to not bother with door-to-door service.
Meng Weiguang sneered, "I told you, I'm powerless. The impression of our family in China is already bad. If I contact them now, it will only push them into a fire pit. Besides, you're also a member of the Meng family. Isn't your branch doing quite well in China? Why don't you help them?"
"They can still run away from the country despite the strict regulations. Since they can come and go so freely, they must be quite capable. Why don't you just bring them out with you? You won't rescue them yourselves but instead ask us to. What are you really up to?"
Of course, they couldn't act openly, because no one knew that Xu Aihua was a member of the Meng family. If it were exposed, wouldn't the entire Meng family be implicated?
Besides, if I don't test you out, how will Xu Aihua know what kind of person you are in the future?
The direct line of the Meng family is considered to be dwindling, so of course they will use the collateral branches that are useful. Xu Aihua is a talent, and if Meng Fuyan wants to support him, the prerequisite is that he must keep his distance from these scum overseas.
Otherwise, after all the hard work of helping them get started, once the mainland opens up and Meng Weiguang returns with his people, he will definitely develop the business vigorously through Xu Aihua's connections. She doesn't want to see that happen.
She supported Xu Aihua not so that she could benefit others.
"Is Uncle going to refuse?"
Meng Weiguang kept a cold face and ignored him.
Meng Suqin said indifferently, "Anyway, he is from your lineage, he is your elder brother's child. Whether you acknowledge him or not is your family's business. My daughter is just helping him pass on a message out of consideration for our clan. He begged us to help him pass on a message to you so that you could find a way to save him."
“Since you’re unwilling to save him, then… Uncle, write me a letter. You can explain things to him clearly, and I’ll find a way to send the letter back to him in China. That way, he won’t just wait around, and he can finally give up on this idea. Maybe he’ll find another way.”
Meng Weiguang was taken aback and frowned. "Write a letter?"
“That’s right. Writing a letter, or rather, proving that we did find you for him and explained the situation. It was your own unwillingness to save him that had nothing to do with us. You’re ungrateful, but my daughter couldn’t bear to see him waiting for you. You’re his uncle. If we hadn’t written a letter from you, he probably wouldn’t have believed us if we told him you didn’t want him.”
"Anyway, Uncle, you probably won't be going back to China. If no one saves him, his family won't last long in the environment of Northeast China. Let him die with a clear conscience. Just tell him to give up on this idea. Uncle, you wouldn't refuse to give me even this much face, would you?"
Meng Weiguang was very unhappy. "What's the difference?"
"Of course there is." Meng Suqin's voice was somewhat cold. "You don't even care about your own nephew, and you're so heartless that you don't even give him any dignity in the end. You even want my daughter to have a hard time explaining herself when she goes back. Then I'll have to reconsider our relationship. After all, our blood ties are much more distant, don't you think?"
