Qin Xinran was stunned. Although her mother knew a little about the situation in the mainland over the past ten years, she still asked in a hoarse voice, "The mainland has stopped the university entrance exam, but high school education is still retained. How could he not even finish high school?"
"Jiayu's adoptive parents were returned overseas students. Over the years, they suffered countless injustices and eventually passed away due to illness. Jiayu was only eleven years old at the time. A child without the protection of his parents and from a poor background, how could he not be bullied at school? He was scolded and beaten by his classmates every day. If it were you, would you be willing to continue living in such an environment?"
Qin's mother immediately covered her face and cried silently. Tears flowed out from between her fingers, fell on her clothes, and soaked the entire front.
Cheng Maixiang didn't pay any attention to Qin's mother's crying. Instead, she continued, "Any child hopes to be able to throw themselves into their parents' arms and cry and tell them when they are wronged outside. But Jiayu was so young and had no adoptive parents. He only had an older sister. He didn't want to worry his sister, so no matter what he encountered outside, he chose to keep silent.
At that time, what were his biological parents doing? They were busy building their own careers and establishing the blueprint for the group. Anyway, this was the reason why they would rather abandon their children and sneak into Hong Kong City. There was nothing wrong with it.
Aunt Qin, you know, since I was a child I have particularly admired those parents who abandon their children for their careers. They have such big hearts. They never seem to worry about whether their children will be sold, nor do they worry that their children will be abused by their families and abandoned again. It is as if the children are protected by gods, invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to all poisons.
When the children grow up, they can openly appear in front of them as their biological parents and lament their past mistakes, as if abandoning them was the only option. If the children don’t forgive them, they are heartless and don’t understand their parents’ painstaking efforts. However, they completely ignore whether the children’s lives are stable or whether they really want to be disturbed.
Cheng Maixiang spoke calmly, as if she was facing not only Lin Jiayu's parents, but also the couple who abandoned her in front of the orphanage in her previous life. When she grew up, she had some success in her career, and her biological parents found her through the orphanage.
She was originally very excited to see her biological parents, but she never expected that the couple would tell her that they abandoned her because they wanted to have a son, and they came to her because their son had no money to buy a house. They accidentally learned from the orphanage that she had a good income from business, so they came to her.
She threw three thousand yuan at the two of them and kicked them out. In order to avoid being harassed by the couple, she decisively moved and changed her contact information, and never saw them again.
She originally thought that she would not be sad, but facing Lin Jiayu who shared the same pain, she still felt heartbroken and could not help but say out everything that was in her heart.
In fact, there is no abandoned child who is not sad. The so-called not sad is probably because the heart has long been cold and numb, so no matter how much the knife cuts the heart, it will not feel painful.
Qin Xinran also burst into tears and said sadly, "It turns out that my second brother has such a hard life in the mainland. Second sister-in-law, our family in Hong Kong is well-off. You should go back to Hong Kong with my second brother. Daddy and Mommy will take good care of him."
Cheng Maixiang gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Xinran, you are a good sister. You have done everything your brother asked of you. I also believe that you sincerely want your second brother to come home, but have you ever thought about whether it is really appropriate for your second brother to return to Hong Kong City?"
"Why not? He is my boss, it is only natural for him to go back to Hong Kong." Qin Xinran was anxious and couldn't help but blurt out a Hong Kong dialect.
"Xinran, the difference between the mainland and Hong Kong is huge in every aspect. Look, in the mainland we all call each other brother, but in Hong Kong we call each other big brothers. Your Mandarin is halting, and Jiayu probably can't even understand Hong Kong dialect.
Of course, language habits are a small matter. With Jiayu's intelligence, he might be able to speak fluent Hong Kong dialect within half a year after going to Hong Kong. However, he has lived in the mainland for nearly twenty years. Whether it is his way of thinking or his style of doing things, he is inevitably incompatible with Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a rich and prosperous city. Although everyone is a compatriot, most people in Hong Kong cannot get rid of the sense of superiority in their hearts when facing the mainland. Perhaps they do not mean to do so, but the prejudice against the mainland that is deeply rooted cannot be corrected in a day or two.
In such an environment, one can imagine what kind of experience Jiayu will encounter when he goes to Gangcheng. He will have to relive the painful experiences of his childhood and bring up the nightmares that he had finally forgotten.
More importantly, although he suffered cold stares and bullying during his childhood, his sister could empathize with him. When he returned home, he waited for his sister's understanding and comfort, and the family could huddle together for warmth.
But if he was bullied in Hong Kong, given his personality, he would never tell his family and would just swallow his anger.
Xinran, you grew up in Hong Kong and come from a wealthy family. I believe you have many local friends. Can you understand the grievances and injustices your second brother has suffered?"
Qin Xinran was speechless. She knew that every word Cheng Maixiang said was true and she had no way to refute it, but she still hoped in her heart that Lin Jiayu could return to Gangcheng and the family could be reunited.
She stammered, "There must be a way..."
Before she could finish, Cheng Maixiang brought up another matter that stunned Qin's mother and Qin Xinran: "Even if Jiayu can endure all kinds of grievances for you, if he returns to Gangcheng, outsiders will inevitably think that he will compete with Qin Haoran for control of the Qin Group. Even if he has no such intention at all, Uncle Qin will naturally give him the company under his name to make up for him.
