Zhou Ling's eyes flickered; she didn't immediately give in, but she also didn't seem inclined to continue making a scene.
After a few seconds of silence,
She raised her head, looked at Zhou Haide, and asked with red eyes, "You abandoned the three of us back then, and now you've come back to find us with a purpose, to save the child you had with another woman, and to take my and my fourth brother's organs. Doesn't your conscience hurt at all?"
Faced with Zhou Ling's sudden, soul-searching question,
Zhou Haide's pupils contracted slightly, but he remained expressionless and said calmly, "When you question me, you should first ask yourself if your conscience hurts when facing the Zhou family who raised you."
Zhou Chen dropped out of school to work for the three of you. How have you repaid him? Have you ever been grateful to him? Have you ever cared about him?
No!
All you know is how to take. When you don't get what you want, you get angry and resort to smearing, spreading rumors, and defaming. You even go so far as to smear the graves of your adoptive parents. Zhou Ling, do you think I don't know about these things?
These words, once spoken...
Zhou Ling's expression changed, and she took a step back and sat on the hospital bed.
Zhou Chuan was equally speechless and unable to refute.
Because those things were indeed stains they couldn't erase, and a past they didn't want to face. They thought Zhou Haide was unaware of them.
Little did they know, Zhou Haide was fully aware of their past actions.
"500,000 each. You can either accept or refuse. It's up to you."
"Attorney Zhang, the rest is up to you."
After giving his instructions, Zhou Haid grabbed Li Meihui and turned to leave the ward, seemingly not wanting to spend another moment with the siblings.
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan both bit their lips and did not stop them.
Outside the ward,
After walking a distance, Li Meihui broke free from Zhou Haide's hand.
"Why did you give each of them 500,000 without authorization, which adds up to one million? Do you think our money is like it falls from the sky, or do you feel guilty, ashamed, and heartbroken?"
Faced with Li Meihui's questioning,
Zhou Haide frowned slightly, but the frown quickly dissipated as he explained, "This decision was not made by me; it was proposed by Xiaolong."
"What? It was Xiaolong's idea? Wait, Xiaolong is awake?"
Li Meihui was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. Without bothering to figure out what was going on, she immediately went to Zhou Xiaolong's ward to see her beloved son.
"Son, why do you insist on giving each of them 500,000?"
"Don't be angry. Mom isn't complaining that you're wasting money. As long as you're happy, Mom doesn't care how much money you spend. It's just that Mom doesn't understand why you did this."
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Meihui turned to Zhou Xiaolong, who was lying on the hospital bed, and asked him the question that puzzled her.
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Xiaolong's slightly pale face as he explained his reasons.
Only then did Li Meihui learn the truth.
"As expected of my son, Xiaolong, you have such foresight. I was short-sighted. You did the right thing. As long as they live, they will always be your spare parts."
"If they don't live well, and if they need to use other organs from their bodies in the future, those organs won't be very healthy either."
Li Meihui touched Zhou Xiaolong's face, feeling extremely proud of her son's intelligence.
"I only made a casual move. It would be best if I didn't need it, but if I did, it would make things more convenient and save me from having to search all over the world."
Zhou Xiaolong said with a smile.
At this point, Zhou Xiaolong looked at Zhou Haide standing to the side and said, "Dad, am I being too heartless? Don't blame me. I didn't want to do this either. No matter what, they are my brothers and sisters. Without them, I might never feel healthy again. I owe them. Dad, don't worry. Besides the 500,000 yuan, I will help them if they have any difficulties in the future."
Zhou Haide smiled slightly: "Xiaolong, you did the right thing. Dad supports you. What you need to do now is to get better as soon as possible and take over the family business. You are better than Dad in doing business. I believe you will definitely make the family business bigger and stronger."
"I will, and I will never let you down."
Zhou Xiaolong nodded.
Zhou Haide patted Zhou Xiaolong's head like a loving father, but no one knew what he was really thinking at that moment.
He was very jealous of his son Zhou Xiaolong because he was the Li family's designated heir. That's right, as the Li family's son-in-law, although he held a high position in the company and had various decision-making powers, the company did not belong to him. He was just a puppet. There was always someone standing above him, silently watching him. As long as that person spoke, he would lose everything instantly.
No matter how well he performs, he will never take over the Li family.
Only Zhou Xiaolong is the heir of the Li family.
He said that Zhou Xiaolong was better than him, but in reality, Zhou Haide thought that even if Zhou Xiaolong was very good, he was still not as good as him.
As Lao Tzu, he was the most outstanding.
after all,
He helped the Li family expand their territory more than once. No matter how outstanding Zhou Xiaolong was, he was still just a young upstart.
“Xiaolong, once you’re better, Dad will take you around Yanjing. The mainland is very different now than before. It’s a huge pie, and our family should have a big slice.”
Zhou Haide said with a smile that he planned to plant a seed in Zhou Xiaolong's heart first.
Zhou Xiaolong is highly valued by that old man. If Zhou Xiaolong were to start a business empire in mainland China, that old man would most likely agree, or even strongly support him. At that time, he would have room to maneuver. In addition, since that old man is in Hong Kong, he is too far away to exert his influence. He can gradually accumulate power.
On Hong Kong Island, under that old man's nose, everything about him was controlled by him, and it was difficult for him to have his own people. Over the years, he only had Secretary Wang as a confidant. But on the mainland, he was free to do as he pleased, like a fish leaping in the sea and a bird soaring in the sky.
Upon hearing about business opportunities in mainland China, Zhou Xiaolong's eyes lit up, revealing a keen interest.
Zhou Xiaolong was secretly delighted; he had succeeded!
Fifteen days later,
Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan have been discharged from the hospital. Although their wounds have not fully healed, they have scabbed over and will not significantly affect their normal lives.
After leaving the hospital, both of them felt as if they had been transported to another world.
In fact, for them,
They are indeed reborn now, because they are all missing an organ, and from now on, they will no longer be exactly the same as normal people.
Whenever they thought of this, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were filled with anger and deep regret.
They regretted their naiveté.
She regrets completely trusting Zhou Haide and Li Meihui.
If they hadn't signed their names on the organ transplant forms without any precautions, things wouldn't be like this now.
