"It's just... the little boy you saw that day is your half-brother. He is sick. Can you... help him?"

Yin Jingshuo lowered his head and stared blankly at the bowl in front of him. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, and he was barely suppressing his emotions.

She raised her head and smiled a smile uglier than crying. "What's wrong with him? If you don't have enough money, I can help you out."

"No." Si Chunrou looked at Yin Jingshuo and suddenly felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Hadn't she already made up her mind to save Xiaoyuan no matter what, no matter what method she used?

Why was she suddenly unable to speak? She took a deep breath and finally said to Yin Jingshuo, "Your brother...has uremia."

"A kidney transplant is necessary to cure it, otherwise I'll just have to keep going through chemotherapy. My kidney... and his father's kidney aren't a match."

"Jing Shuo, can you give him your...your kidney?"

Wen Wan and Tao Zhizhi, who were standing next to them, frowned and looked at each other when they heard this. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts, saying that this woman was so cruel and not a human being.

Si Chunrou's words were like thunder in his ears, waking Yin Jingshuo from his sweet dream. Although Wen Wan had given him a heads-up in advance, he still couldn't stop feeling bitter.

He suddenly understood what Wen Wan said that day. She hoped he would love her more. So that was what she meant. He understood.

"Mom, I'm sorry—"

"I can't promise you that."

When she heard Yin Jingshuo's refusal, she suddenly panicked. If Yin Jingshuo was unwilling to help, Xiaoyuan would definitely be doomed.

She frantically grabbed Yin Jingshuo's hand, tears in her eyes as she begged, "Jingshuo, I'll beg you just this once. As long as you promise to save Xiaoyuan, I'll definitely compensate you in the future."

"Let's live together and never separate from now on, okay?"

Wen Wan, standing by, was so angry she laughed. This guy was really shameless. Compensation? How could he compensate for one kidney? She just hoped Yin Jingshuo would be tougher and not compromise.

Tao Zhizhi's heart was in her throat at this moment, and her face changed obviously. As a die-hard fan of Yin Jingshuo, she hoped more than Wen Wan that Yin Jingshuo could refuse this unreasonable request.

"Mom, do you really love me?" Yin Jingshuo looked at Si Chunrou's face and asked desperately.

Si Chunrou looked at him and answered decisively: "Of course I love you."

Yin Jingshuo frowned and looked at her with mixed feelings. "Then you should know that I also have my dreams. It took a lot of effort to get to where I am today. I still want to become an even better singer and continue to sing on the stage."

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"I can agree to your other requests, but not this one."

If he really lost a kidney, he might be restricted from strenuous activities, let alone holding concerts in the future, so he absolutely could not and must not agree to it.

When Si Chunrou heard Yin Jingshuo's words and thought of Yu Yuan's appearance, she became anxious and lost all her patience in an instant.

She suddenly stood up from her seat, pointed at him with a trembling hand, "You..."

"How can you be so selfish? All you lost was your dream, but if you are unwilling to save Xiaoyuan, he will lose his life!"

Then, looking at the silent Yin Jingshuo, a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart, and the last bit of warmth finally disappeared.

In a fit of rage, he slapped Yin Jingshuo hard in the face.

Yin Jingshuo subconsciously reached out to cover his red and swollen face, and the tears in his eyes finally fell.

Now that things have come to this, he understands that Si Chunrou may love him a little, but she loves Yu Yuan more.

Wen Wan finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she handed the phone to Tao Zhizhi and rushed out and walked to Si Chunrou's side.

Tao Zhizhi quickly stood up and followed her, holding her cell phone and chasing after her.

Wen Wan gestured for Tao Zhizhi to go see Yin Jingshuo first, and then she mercilessly scolded Si Chunrou, "I say, you, auntie, are a little bit sick in the head."

"Before, I called you Auntie because I was giving Teacher Yin some face, but now I tell you! No one's face can stop me from scolding you!"

She pointed her finger at Si Chunrou's nose and scolded, "What do you mean? That Xiaoyuan is your son, but Teacher Yin is not your son, right?"

Then he pointed at Yin Jingshuo and continued angrily, "For so many years, you abandoned him and left him alone. He grew up in an orphanage and worked hard step by step to get to where he is today. You think it's easy, right?"

"Just because you've been nice to him for a week, does he have to pay for a kidney? How can that be justified?"

"He hasn't even charged you with abandonment yet, and you're already hitting someone."

"You...you..." Si Chunrou was so shocked by Wen Wan's retort that she couldn't say a word in rebuttal. The main reason was that everything Wen Wan said made a lot of sense, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it at all.

Wen Wan folded her arms across her chest, sneered, and continued, "What do you mean by 'you'? You didn't want to acknowledge him before, fine! Then you should have stayed away from him and never appeared in front of him again!"

"Now, for the sake of one son, you come to me and want to sacrifice another son. You are so shameless!"

"You never gave him what you should have given him before, so why do you ask him to pay for it now?"

Si Chunrou didn't move for a long time. As if she had a mental breakdown, she suddenly swept away everything on the table and screamed.

"What do you know? Who among you understands the suffering I've endured because of him?"

Then, with a trembling hand, he pointed at Yin Jingshuo, "You're just like your father, equally cold-blooded and ruthless! You're worthy of being his offspring! You're all born bad!"

"Do you know how many years your father tortured me? I was forced to marry him because of pressure from my family. He beat and scolded me every day."

"From the very beginning, I've liked Xiaoyuan's father! He finally came back and said he wanted to take me away."

"But I suddenly got pregnant. If it weren't for you, I would have left long ago!" She became more and more emotional as she spoke, and she even broke down crying and laughing.

Yin Jingshuo's heart was already numb with pain at this time. So that's how it was. It turned out that he had not been accepted from the beginning and he should not have come to this world.

His eyes were red and he yelled in despair: "Then why did you give birth to me!"

"Do you think I want to? If your father hadn't forced me to give birth to you, you would never have come into this world." Si Chunrou said gritting her teeth as she recalled the past.

Then she threw her head back and laughed heartily, saying a little crazily, "But it doesn't matter—"

"I threw you away when he wasn't paying attention! Hahaha! Then I ran away, and he got nothing!"

Wen Wan looked at her crazy look and couldn't help shaking her head. "It's pitiful that you are being abused, but the child is innocent."

"Innocent? Where's the innocence?" Then he continued to look at Yin Jingshuo angrily and said, "Your father ruined me, and now you want to ruin my child! Where's the innocence of you!"

Wen Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Si Chunrou usually looked quite normal, but why did she give people the feeling that she was a little abnormal now?
