Chapter 272 Let's Get a Divorce

Xie Nanzhi paused, her hand still on the phone, and asked seriously, "What do you mean by that?"

Pei Jingchuan kept everyone in suspense, saying, "I'll add you as a friend. Once you accept, I'll send you something, and you'll understand immediately."

Xie Nanzhi didn't dare to waste any time, and then she saw a friend request, which she clicked to accept.

Immediately after, Pei Jingchuan sent a photo.

When Xie Nanzhi saw it, her pupils widened. She couldn't believe her eyes, but she couldn't bear to let such an opportunity slip by.

She immediately called back, "How do I know if this kidney matching report is real?"

The report shows that Pei Jingchuan's kidneys and Wang Shufen's kidneys are a match in all aspects.

But back then, he took her cornea, and the doctors at the United Hospital lied to her. What if this report is also fake?

Then Pei Jingchuan chuckled, "You can take me to a doctor you trust for a second checkup."

Xie Nanzhi's palm tightened, and her heart pounded.

If Pei Jingchuan dares to say that, it's highly likely to be true.

Does that mean Wang Shufen can be saved?

But amidst her joy, Xie Nanzhi had another suspicion: "You're not that kind. Tell me, what do you want?"

Without hesitation, Pei Jingchuan said, "Marry me and give me a child."

Her fingers gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. She took a deep breath and said, "Pei Jingchuan, you still love kicking someone when they're down."

Pei Jingchuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, "In your heart, haven't I always been a villain?"

Xie Nanzhi, "despicable."

Pei Jingchuan didn't care. "Nanzhi, I'm giving you a chance to save your mother. Of course, the final choice is in your hands."

After a pause, Pei Jingchuan continued to persuade, "Actually, it's just a choice between Wang Shufen and Wei Chizheng. However, if you choose the former, they can both live well. But if you choose the latter, Wang Shufen will definitely die. Think it over carefully. It seems like you don't have much time left."

Pei Jingchuan lowered his voice, a hint of mockery in it, "Nanzhi, you killed my child, so giving me one back is only natural. I'll wait for your call. Don't keep me waiting too long, in case I regret it. After all, the price I have to pay is losing a kidney. For a normal person, you should know very well what that means."

After saying that, Pei Jingchuan hung up the phone.

Xie Nanzhi put down her phone and stared blankly at a certain spot.

After a long while, she raised her head and made a decision.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Chizheng returned looking travel-worn. He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn the night before, and his usually neat and wrinkle-free shirt was now all crumpled.

However, as if tireless, at least when Xie Nanzhi could see him, he was always like a solid fortress, the one she could rely on most.

Wei Chizheng reached out and stroked her face. "Are you tired? I'll stay here and watch over you. Go and rest. What will Mom do if you collapse from exhaustion?"

The gentlest voice, strong yet warming to her heart.

Xie Nanzhi looked up at Wei Chizheng's exhausted eyes, which were bloodshot and dark.

She stroked his hand tenderly, "Have you found the right one?"

Wei Chizheng frowned slightly, his eyes darkening. "Not yet... for now."

Xie Nanzhi could tell that he was blaming himself.

This made Xie Nanzhi feel even more sorry for her. She slowly got up and showed a rare smile. "The sun is shining brightly outside. Let's go for a walk."

Wei Chi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

Behind the inpatient department was a lush green lawn, and next to it was a bench for resting. Xie Nanzhi took his hand and sat down.

There were fallen leaves at my feet, dancing in the wind.

Across the street was a restaurant, and its aroma wafted over on the breeze, but it made Xie Nanzhi's stomach churn.

She subconsciously touched the ring on her ring finger. It was put on her finger by Wei Chizheng three years ago, and she had worn it ever since, never thinking of taking it off.

And at this moment...

Her hand rested on her lap, the diamond ring digging into her skin, every bit of discomfort a reminder of her discomfort.

She slowly took his arm and leaned on his shoulder as usual. The sunlight cast their shadows at their feet, merging into a dark mass, and her throat tightened with emotion.

"Wei Chizheng." Xie Nanzhi took a deep breath, the ring digging painfully into her palm. "Let's get a divorce."

In an instant, the gentle breeze seemed to stop, and even the fallen leaves dancing at our feet froze in place.

Wei Chizheng was startled.

The next second, he asked incredulously, "Why? Nanzhi, this joke isn't funny at all."

"no."

Xie Nanzhi interrupted him, her voice as hard as ice. Only she knew that her throat felt like it was stuffed with a red-hot coal. "Wei Chizheng, I'm not joking. Let's get a divorce."

After saying that, Xie Nanzhi suddenly stood up and walked forward without looking back.

But before she could take two steps, Wei Chizheng grabbed her wrist. He frowned and tried his best to control his emotions. "Nanzhi, I know you've been in a bad mood lately. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said."

He appeared calm, but only Wei Chizheng knew how panicked he was inside. "Nanzhi, let's go back first. I will do everything I can to find a suitable kidney donor. Nanzhi, we won't cause trouble."

Xie Nanzhi stared down at the tips of her shoes, then looked up in a daze.

Resolute, composed.

There was no hesitation or agonizing.

She was as cold as a machine devoid of emotion. "Wei Chizheng, marriage is a matter of personal freedom. I want a divorce now. If you truly care about me, you should cooperate with me."

"Xie Nanzhi." His voice suddenly rose several decibels, his scarlet eyes bloodshot.

But after just that one sentence, the next second, Wei Chizheng abandoned all his pride and pleaded, "Please, don't leave me."

His hoarse voice was pleading, but Xie Nanzhi kept her eyes tightly shut, afraid that if she opened them she would see his injured expression and regret it.

After a few seconds, he said, "I'm sorry."

Xie Nanzhi practically spat out those three words through gritted teeth, then forcefully broke free from his grasp and turned to leave.

Wei Chizheng did not catch up, and Xie Nanzhi gradually slowed down her pace.

She walked forward step by step, casually raising her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.

She couldn't bear to part with Wei Chizheng; she wanted to continue like this with him until they grew old, until their hair turned white and their teeth fell out.

However, Xie Nanzhi couldn't bear to watch Wang Shufen die like that.

Wang Shufen had already suffered enough in the first half of her life; she hadn't even had a chance to properly take care of her mother, so how could she just watch her own mother die?

Therefore, Xie Nanzhi always had only one path in front of her.

As darkness fell and the streetlights came on, her shadow stretched long.

When Xie Nanzhi returned to the ward, she saw Wei Chizheng standing guard at the door.

The two stared at each other from a distance, and she took off the ring and clutched it in her palm, as if it were a red-hot iron, burning her heart with pain.
