The more compliant Song Qirui became, the colder Luo Yingyue felt. Her last bit of hope for a long life vanished with each word he uttered.
She had heard this perfunctory tone far too many times and never wanted to hear it again.
So Luo Yingyue didn't say anything more. She slowly stood up, gave Song Qirui a deep look, and left without looking back.
Because Luo Yeying was always easygoing, Song Qirui didn't think much of it. He just assumed that his wife was in a bad mood and was throwing a tantrum because she was unhappy with his arrangements.
In the past, he might have actually stepped in to appease them, but he had been too busy these past few days, so he didn't think about it too much. He just wanted to deal with the immediate problem first, and the rest would be minor issues that he could easily appease later.
He has always handled every conflict this way before, no matter how big, and has never failed. This time will definitely be the same!
When Luo Yingyue went downstairs, she ran into her eldest son, Song Wenhui, who was walking up the stairs.
Upon seeing Luo Yingyue, Song Wenhui quickly stopped and greeted her with a smile. Luo Yingyue nodded in acknowledgment. She had intended to leave immediately, but after taking a couple of steps up the stairs, she seemed to remember something, grabbed the handrail, turned back, and called out to him, unusually asking, "Have you taken care of everything at the company?"
Clearly, Song Wenhui was also somewhat surprised by Luo Yingyue's question.
After all these years, his mother had never interfered in anything related to company affairs. This was the first time ever!
However strange it was, Song Wenhui didn't think much of it, assuming it was his mother's concern for him, so he quickly explained, "It's nothing serious, it's all been taken care of."
"Oh." Luo Yingyue seemed to think that there was no need to continue the topic. She nodded and turned to leave, as if she had just asked on a whim.
But now Song Wenhui wouldn't let her go. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Luo Yingyue's back, raising his voice, "Mom, I just went to see my third brother."
"Oh, and then?! What do you want to say to me?!" Luo Yingyue paused, turning back to look at her eldest son, who stood only four or five steps away from her, with a half-smile: "Just say it. You don't need to beat around the bush in front of your mother!"
Luo Yingyue was never stupid; her indifference all this time was just her feigning deafness and dumbness!
But now, when she truly begins to seriously face everything before her, even if her eldest son's words seem particularly warm, she can see the deeper meaning behind them.
Her eldest and second sons have never been particularly close to their third son, Alan. In fact, many times, they treat Alan as if he doesn't exist at all.
At first, she didn't pay attention to these things, but later she realized something was wrong and wanted to get closer to her sons, but it was too late!
Song Qirui also had his own explanation for this.
It's simply because Ah Lan's condition is heartbreaking for anyone to see. Rather than letting their two sons share their sadness and pressure, it's better to keep them completely unaware!
At first, she naturally thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was clearly a blatant signal that Song Qirui wanted to give up on his third son.
He never considered Alan to be part of the Song family from the very beginning!
From the very beginning, he had already pretended that Alan didn't exist! He had severed the brotherly bond that should have existed between his sons long ago, so that even in this situation, his two sons would not feel any guilt towards their third son who was about to lose his life.
And now, this older brother, who had never cared about his younger brother, actually told her that he had just visited his brother.
What does this mean?!
This suggests that Song Wenhui likely knew about some of his father's decisions, but...
However, instead of opposing this despicable and shameless decision, he chose to agree with it and even aided and abetted the evildoer!
The most obvious step in this was an attempt to use so-called family affection to move and coerce her, the mother, into submission, to abandon her daughter, Alan, who had been abandoned by her family since birth, for the sake of her so-called successful eldest son!
Is this even human?!
Thinking of this, Luo Yingyue's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
"Mom, I didn't mean anything by it. I just feel that right now, our Song family is at a critical juncture, facing life or death. You may not know, but many things at the company have already..."
In short, please understand your father's decision; sometimes he has no choice.
Song Wenhui sensed that his mother's emotions were somewhat off, but he also knew that this was not the time to be soft-hearted! If he couldn't persuade his mother to take their side, then…
"Wenhui, I only have one question for you: if one day your father and I are no longer here, how will you treat your younger brother?!"
Luo Yingyue did not directly respond to Song Wenhui's advice. She remained silent for a while before speaking softly: "Will you take good care of him, or will you just find a sanatorium and throw him in there, leaving him to fend for himself?"
