Fifty million was not a small amount at the time. Without saying a word, Yu Jingshan took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to him: "There is ten million in the card. Let him go for now."

The man with the slicked-back hair chuckled, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. He hadn't expected to actually run into such a treacherous person.

Anyway, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. A wise person knows when to yield, and arguing with clever people will only result in losing nothing in the end.

"Okay, I like straightforward people."

He was about to take Yu Jingshan's card when Yu Jingshan dodged the card behind her back, saying, "My phone."

The slick-haired man paused for a moment, then smiled and exchanged his phone with Yu Jingshan. He then shouted to the group of thugs behind him, "Let's go, let's drink."

After getting the phone, Yu Jingshan immediately called the hospital.

As if struck by a sudden thought, the man with the slicked-back hair turned around and shouted to Yu Jingshan, "Password."

Yu Jingshan replied to him: "".

In the end, Xiao Lin survived but lost both legs, while Yu Jingshan's condition worsened, and she passed away not long after.

Xiao Xin only learned on the day Yu Jingshan passed away that the money Yu Jingshan gave to those loan sharks was the money she had saved for medical treatment.

When Yu Jingshan was on her deathbed, she told Xiao Lin that keeping the money wouldn't actually save her life, because she had a terminal illness and never intended to get treatment.

Xiao Lin didn't tell Yu Jingshan that he knew Fu Qingting, so Yu Jingshan told him everything before she died.

However, Yu Jingshan didn't tell him Fu Yan's name at the time, because the two were going through a divorce when Fu Yan was born, and Yu Jingshan didn't know Fu Yan's name either.

She didn't tell Fu Qingting about her terminal illness, so when they divorced, Fu Qingting hated her, thinking she abandoned him because he was about to go bankrupt.

Fu Qingting originally wanted to leave both children with Yu Jingshan, but she had no choice. The infants in swaddling clothes would only suffer if they stayed with her, so she only took He Yunzhou with her.

The money was originally intended to take He Yunzhou abroad for a new learning environment, but it ended up saving Xiao Lin's life. Yu Jingshan had no regrets, only asking that Xiao Lin could help her take care of He Yunzhou.

Because the Yu family members were all abroad, she couldn't find anyone else she could ask for help.

He Yunzhou and Xiao Xin are about the same age, only two months apart.

The moment Xiao Xin saw He Yunzhou, she felt a fondness for this boy with a warm smile.

After Yu Jingshan's death, in order to avoid debts, Xiao Lin placed He Yunzhou in an orphanage because he didn't have Fu Qingting's contact information and didn't have time to think about it too much.

He Yunzhou wasn't originally called He Yunzhou. He changed his name after being adopted by someone from an orphanage.

However, the family that adopted him eventually sent He Yunzhou back to the orphanage after having a child.

It wasn't until five years later that Xiao Xin saw He Yunzhou again at school.

At that time, Xiao Xin did not tell Xiao Lin that he had met He Yunzhou, and Xiao Lin also forgot that He Yunzhou was Yu Jingshan's child, because He Yunzhou was somewhat different when he grew up than when he was a child.

It wasn't until college that He Yunzhou came to see Xiao Lin with Xiao Xin. Xiao Lin thought He Yunzhou looked familiar, and after talking with him, he realized that He Yunzhou was the child of the person who saved his life years ago.

...

Xiao Xin heard all this from Xiao Lin and remained lost in thought for a long time.

Until Fu Yan nuzzled against his neck and said, "Brother, I'm hungry..."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "This Xiao Yan is just as clingy to you as he was when he was a child. When Xiao Yan cried a lot as a child, he would stop crying as soon as you hugged him..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin glanced at Fu Yan, who was even taller than him, and felt goosebumps all over his body. Why did it sound so terrifying?

He said reproachfully, "Dad, stop talking."

Xiao Lin teased him, "Why can't I say it? You used to love hugging him when you were little, calling him 'little brother' so affectionately. What, are you shy now?"

Xiao Xin's eyelids drooped: "Dad..."

He was indeed ashamed, and Xiao Lin's words made him feel even more ashamed.

As if he had overheard their conversation, Fu Yan wrapped his arms around Xiao Xin's neck and whispered in his ear, "So, you've liked me since we were little..."

He suddenly felt a little joy, as if he had won at the starting line.

Because Xiao Xin's first love was him, not He Yunzhou.

"What does it mean for a child to like something? Besides, how old were you back then? I don't even remember..."

"Brother, I'm all grown up now, I can start over..."

Xiao Xin quickly covered his mouth, then, after a moment's thought, changed the subject: "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Fu Yan had been sleeping with his eyes closed, so he thought Fu Yan had fallen asleep.

Fu Yan nodded: "I have a headache, but I haven't slept."

He tightened his grip on Xiao Xin's neck: "Thank you, brother..."

Xiao Xin felt a tickle on his neck from Fu Yan's hot breath, and he awkwardly pushed Fu Yan's shoulder: "Thank me for what?"

Fu Yan held his hand tightly, preventing him from moving, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you, brother, for helping me get rid of that horrible man..."

He didn't know why he trembled when he saw Fu Qingting, but he couldn't resist his body's instincts.

Xiao Lin stood to the side, his gaze towards the two of them extremely ambiguous, with an expression of watching the drama unfold.

Xiao Xin felt a chill run down her spine when he saw him like that.

He gritted his teeth and whispered in Fu Yan's ear, "Aren't you going to let go?"

Fu Yan didn't move. "If you let go of my brother, he won't let me hug you..."

Xiao Xin looked at the red mark on her wrist where Fu Yan had pinched her, and sighed, "You hurt me..."

"Huh? Brother, where does it hurt?"

Fu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his chin leaving Xiao Xin's shoulder, and nervously glanced at Xiao Xin's face: "Brother, where does it hurt?"

Xiao Xin felt he was asking a question he already knew the answer to, and looked down at Fu Yan's tightly clenched hand: "What do you think?"

Seeing that Xiao Xin's hand was red, Fu Yan quickly loosened his grip, took Xiao Xin's hand and rubbed it gently: "I'm sorry, brother..."

Fu Yan's heartache spread from his eyes, and Xiao Xin felt that his eyes would well up with tears at any moment.

This person was clearly still angry with him before coming to the hospital, but now his aggrieved expression makes it seem like Xiao Xin bullied him.

Xiao Xin hugged him again and gently comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, brother. Don't cry, little brother."

Fu Yan sniffed, then smiled through his tears: "Yeah, brother, I didn't cry."

Fu Yan suddenly asked, "Does calling me 'little brother' mean you admit you like me?"

Xiao Xin choked on his words, swallowed the curse, and gave a bitter smile: "No, it's just that you look ugly when you cry."

Fu Yan's face darkened instantly: "..."

After thinking about it for a while, I felt resentful: "Does my brother dislike me because I look ugly when I cry?"

Xiao Xin got annoyed and frowned, asking, "Why are you so hung up on whether I like you or not?"

Fu Yan shook his head: "No..."

Xiao Lin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and cleared his throat: "Xiao Xin, I want to rest now, can you help me out?"

Xiao Xin then came to his senses, realizing that he had forgotten his father was next to him. His ears turned red, and he pushed Fu Yan away and walked to his father's side.

He helped Xiao Lin lie down and covered her with the blanket. Just as he was about to back away, Xiao Lin grabbed his collar and asked in a low voice, "Can't you tell he likes you?"
