Chapter 105 A Mother’s Expectations
At that time, upon hearing what his mother said, Su Zhe knew nothing but to cry, unable to utter a single word.
Jiang Xiaoran held him, as if he were still a little baby, until he had calmed down, and then she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Zhe, don’t be afraid. Mom knows you’ve already become sensible, a smart and understanding child. So you should also know, Mom doesn’t have much longer to live."
Upon hearing this, little Su Zhe was almost about to cry again.
"Mom knows this is hard to accept, but you are a sensible child. Mom hopes you can become strong so that in the future you can protect yourself."
"First and foremost, your safety and health are the most important. You were once very sick, and it was not easy to regain your health, so you must cherish it."
"Study well. It’s not about having excellent academic grades, but you need to learn, gain knowledge, improve yourself. Don’t indulge yourself in doing nothing and wasting time just because the family conditions are superior. You would regret it when you’re old. Mom doesn’t want you to have regrets about your life."
"Be grateful, kindness is essential, but it’s not necessary to be kind to everyone. You need to have eyes that can distinguish right from wrong, and offer your kindness to those who deserve it."
"After Mom passes away, I don’t know when that woman will marry your father. You need to prepare yourself mentally. Mom doesn’t want you to be too sad about it later, to waste your emotions on some trivial people. She will marry your father, but she won’t have any more children."
"This is Mom’s plan. Rather than waiting for Mom to be gone and your father stirring up troubles with various women outside, bringing home siblings from different mothers. It’s better to let your father marry that woman. She won’t have more children, and your father will feel guilty towards both me and her, and thus he will restrain his private life. There won’t be so many illegitimate children, which would save you a lot of trouble in the future."
"Moreover, that woman, she seems not very smart. Dealing with not smart people, you can save more of your mental energy. All of Mom’s properties will be left to you, managed by a professional managerial team, and you can take control once you’re of age."
