Cui Li nodded and handed over the report: "Only Han Binglan and Achen are a match." The matter in Xiling City was kept from the two elders.

Cui Zhanyi and Gu Meizhi exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

"Mom and Dad, we originally wanted to wait for a donated kidney, but it's been so long and we still haven't found a suitable one..."

"Then what do you want us to do?" Cui Zhanyi put down the report and looked at Cui Li seriously. It was a kidney, not a hair. Moreover, they hadn't cared about that girl at all over the years, let alone taken care of her.

"Why don't you try to talk to her?" Cui Li cried again. "If she agrees to donate a kidney, I'll do anything for her from now on..."

"This matter..."

“We can’t help with this,” Cui Zhanyi interrupted Gu Meizhi, “because she won’t listen to us.”

"Mom and Dad, you have to give it a try, otherwise, Achen will be finished." Cui Li stepped forward. "Dad, please."

“We’re getting old and our health isn’t good, so we can’t handle the bumpy ride.” Cui Zhanyi shook his head. He had undergone heart bypass surgery and couldn’t fly at all, and his wife had a bad back and couldn’t sit for long periods of time.

"Dad, Mom's birthday is in a few days. Just call her back," Cui Li hurriedly suggested. "If you ask, she shouldn't refuse."

"Then let's give it a try," Gu Meizhi suddenly said. "Anyway, we have two kidneys. Donating one won't hurt. We can help each other out in the future." She lowered her eyes, concealing the disgust in them.

“Alright.” Cui Zhanyi glanced at his wife, then nodded. “However, Lily, you two need to hurry and continue looking for other channels, just in case…”

"I know, thank you Mom and Dad." Cui Li nodded hurriedly. "If it really can't be done, I won't force it."

Le Yao was unaware that Cui Li was still concerned about her kidney. She was doing so many practice problems every day that she was exhausted. After finishing a problem, she would take a picture and send it to the group chat. Hong Xia would then help correct it and explain the problems she didn't understand.

This result made Qian Meiqi, who was enjoying the beach and bikini abroad, feel embarrassed to just look at handsome men. She would even carry her test papers with her when she went out and start doing practice questions.

As for Song Qiaoqiao and Wang Xia, they naturally couldn't be left out.

So, even though it was a holiday, it felt like the intense atmosphere of the college entrance exam.

That day, I had just finished five practice tests when my old phone rang.

Le Yao picked it up and frowned. She didn't have the number saved, and it wasn't a local number either; it showed as a landline in Beichuan City. After hesitating for a moment, she answered, "Hello, who is this?"

"Alan, this is Cui Zhanyi." Cui Zhanyi's voice came through.

"Hello, sir." Le Yao was a little surprised. "Is there something you need?" He hadn't called her in so many years, it was strange that he suddenly called today.

Cui Zhanyi's face darkened: "I am your maternal grandfather." He sighed inwardly, thinking, "He grew up in the countryside and has no manners at all."

"Grandpa, is there something you need from me?" Le Yao readily agreed; it was just a form of address.

"Next Wednesday is your maternal grandmother's birthday. Your mother is no longer here, but you have to come and kowtow to your grandmother on her behalf to wish her a happy birthday..."

Le Yao frowned. It had been five years since Han Binglan was found, and she hadn't been notified even once. Why was she sent over this year? If there wasn't something fishy going on, she'd change her surname.
