"What are you saying? How could I, as your aunt, possibly do nothing at all?"
After all, Zhao Mingcheng is still our Shen family's nephew. If we don't take care of this...
Not to mention our parents, even in the eyes of outsiders, it's not acceptable.
Conversely, do you think Mom and Dad would agree? You didn't even think before you said that; you were just spouting nonsense.
"How can you say it's nonsense? How do you know I haven't thought about it properly?"
"From what you're saying, it seems you really thought things through before saying what you just said."
"Of course! And why do you think it's not allowed?"
Why? No reason? I just feel it's impossible.
To be honest, I've raised him for so many years, how could I possibly just ignore everything that's going to happen to him?
"That's true. Even raising a cat or dog will create feelings, let alone a person."
However, if you think like that, he's already an adult, why does he need us elders to take care of him?
On the other hand, when he was young, we only did it because of my second sister, who was busy with work and the Zhao family was in that situation.
Who cares? It's all for Second Sister's sake. But why should we care now? He's such a grown man, why does he need anyone to take care of him?
Even if they were to get involved, that would be my second sister and brother-in-law's business, not ours.
“What you’re saying is wrong. When Zhao Mingcheng was young, he was Sister Nan’s son. Does that mean that now that he’s grown up and will grow old, he won’t be Sister Nan’s son anymore?”
Besides, no matter what, he's still our Shen family's nephew; there's absolutely no way we can just ignore him."
"You're right, I don't disagree with that."
As for your claim that he is our Shen family's nephew, I can't really refute that. But don't forget, whether or not we take care of him is up to us.
In other words, it's up to me, the uncle, to make the decisions.
"It's true that they have the final say, but with Mom and Dad around, we can't just ignore them."
"What you said is true, but how to manage it is ultimately up to us to decide."
And what do outsiders like to say? That's their business, it has nothing to do with us.
You don't need to worry too much about any of these things.
"You're making it sound nice, but I remember you didn't say that in front of our parents. Why are you saying these things now?"
When did you become two-faced?
"I didn't. I'm telling you the truth! I said those things just to put your minds at ease, didn't I?"
Given their current physical condition, to be frank, even though they seem healthy and without illness, they could pass away any day now.
In my opinion, they are living day by day now, and saying those things is purely to make them happy.
They can't possibly live another ten or twenty years, can they?
"That's hard to say. Nowadays, people have better living conditions and advanced medical care, so it's not impossible."
"If our parents could really live another 10 or 20 years, that would be a blessing for our Shen family."
"That's right, it is indeed a blessing for us children."
However, if Mom and Dad really live another 10 or 20 years, then what you just said about Zhao Mingcheng will no longer matter.
We need to understand that in the eyes of our parents, especially the older generation, nothing is more important than family harmony and prosperity.
Even if Zhao Mingcheng's surname is Zhao and not Shen, he is still Mom and Dad's grandson and Sister Nan's son. Our parents can't just abandon him.
"That's true, but even if Mom and Dad are still alive, what can they do?"
You can also choose not to care about anything; if anyone's going to be in charge, it'll be me, the uncle, who will.
"That's true. So how do you plan to manage it? Zhao Mingcheng's affairs are not easy to manage."
Although he hasn't married Jing Qianqian yet, judging from his demeanor today...
He's made up his mind about Jing Qianqian, and there's going to be a lot going on between them. Are you really capable of managing everything?"
"How could we possibly manage all of this? And what you're saying is also hard to say."
What if they don't end up together?
"That's true, it's not impossible."
But what if they got together? What would you do?
"It's hard to say what I'll do, but don't forget, I'm about to retire."
When I retire, I'll be idle at home, and even if something happens to him, I'll need to be able to help him.
It's impossible that someone without the ability would take on such a difficult task.
If I really did that, I'm afraid I'd have to live inside these walls for the rest of my life.
"I must say, it's really good that you have this awareness."
"That's right, I don't want to spend the rest of my life there."
Besides, even if I had that ability, I would have to think about my own child first.
It's impossible for us to give him everything without considering our own children.
"If that's the case, even if you don't say anything, I'm sure the children at home will still resent me."
"You know what, it's actually possible."
Even if our sons don't need it, who knows what will happen to our grandsons?
“You’re right. Even if I don’t consider my son, I have to think about my grandson’s future.”
You tell me, with so many concerns of my own, how could I possibly use up all the favors I've built up over the years for him?
"That's true, but don't forget, as long as he's with Jing Qianqian..."
As his aunt, I probably can't possibly get involved in his affairs.
"If Jing Qianqian needs anything, he will definitely come to our house. How could we possibly ignore her?"
"You mean, Mingcheng will come to you for help with that girl from the Jing family's career in the future?"
"That's right, no one can guarantee that something like that won't happen."
"Probably not? Given Mingcheng's personality?"
"What kind of question is that! You yourself aren't even sure, so how can you be sure he won't?"
Besides, even today, Zhao Mingcheng can disregard my feelings as his aunt for Jing Qianqian's sake.
So, if it were for Jing Qianqian's future career, wouldn't he have done the same?
In my opinion, Zhao Mingcheng would definitely, as long as he deeply loves Jing Qianqian, lower his head and plead for her before me, his aunt.
"If it's really as you say, then it's actually possible?"
"If he really comes to our house begging for help because of that person, what will you do?"
"What I would do, to be honest, I'm not afraid of making you angry, nor am I afraid of what Mom and Dad will say?"
"From what you're saying, you're planning to ignore it."
"That's right, I won't interfere, even if Jing Qianqian does have the ability and is a natural businesswoman."
