Chapter 117 Your father has arrived!
The senior student asked in surprise, "Wait, how old is your younger brother?"
"The third year of junior high school."
"How could someone so young get this disease?"
Wen Han sighed: "It's genetic."
"Then...then you..." the senior stammered, "Do you usually go for physical checkups or anything like that..."
"We weren't born to the same mother."
"Oh." The senior student breathed a sigh of relief, clearly thinking that Wenhao inherited his looks from his mother.
“Sigh, there are still four elderly people in my family,” Wen Han said. “He had a kidney transplant before, but he didn’t last more than a few years.”
"So, are you planning to continue treatment?"
"Let's get it treated," Wen Han said. "We've already spent several million on it anyway."
"Sigh." The senior patted Wen Han on the shoulder. "I'll do your work today. Go and keep your brother company."
Jiang Kuo remained silent, while Wen Han said, "Thank you, I'll head over now."
It had been over a year since I last saw her, and Grandma Wen had aged terribly. The scalp where she had fallen and hit her head was still bald. Only she accompanied Wen Hao; Grandpa Wen was nowhere to be seen.
Wenhao looked very unwell. Although Grandma Wen was old, her mental state had not weakened, nor had her manners improved. She still had the energy to make things difficult for the new nurse.
"Why are you arguing?" Wen Han said to the nurse. "I'll take care of them, I know them."
Grandma Wen glanced at Wen Han a few times, noticing he was wearing a white coat, and her eyes darted around: "Aren't you still in school?"
"I'm cosplaying."
Grandma Wen naturally didn't understand what cosplay was, but she was still hoping that Wen Han had "connections" to get Wen Hao a free medical check-up.
Jiang Kuo is usually very busy, but today he appeared on the first floor.
Wen Han said, "You guys sit there and wait."
When he went to pay the bill, Jiang Kuo walked up to him and asked, "I've never heard that you have a younger brother."
"I have three younger brothers."
Jiang Kuo asked, "How are your other brothers' health?"
“One is an Omega, and the other is an Alpha,” Wen Han said. “The Alpha is my younger brother. It’s a pity he’s been mentally challenged since he was little, but we’re born to the same mother, so I definitely have to buy him a house so he can get married and have children.”
"Don't you have your own house? Don't you want your whole family to live together?"
"No," Wen Han said doubtfully. "My family sold our house before I went to the hospital for treatment, and we're renting now."
Seeing his complicated expression, Wen Han secretly chuckled to herself.
“You are you, and your brother is your brother,” Jiang Kuo said. “You don’t need to sacrifice for him.”
"How can that be the same?" Wen Han said seriously. "I'm hoping that my younger brother will have a baby and I can raise it. Betas can't give birth to Alphas or Omegas. Otherwise, my mother's bloodline will end. How could I be so selfish!"
Jiang Kuo's expression was complicated. Wen Han continued, "Sigh, luckily my partner has been comforting me and helping me support the whole family. After all, I still have four elderly people to support. My father is getting old and can't keep running a stall forever."
"I can't talk about it anymore," Wen Han said. "I still need to take my brother for a checkup."
Jiang Kuo quickly disappeared, and Wen Han believed that from tomorrow onwards, this person would no longer pay attention to him.
Having used them all, Wen Han naturally didn't give Wen Hao and the others a friendly look. She said, "Alright, hurry back after you're done with the inspection."
If he were Wen Ruan, he would definitely buy Wen Grandma an accidental death insurance policy, because she might be killed by Wen Grandpa one day.

There was no need to wait until the next day; by the afternoon alone, Jiang Kuo rarely lingered around him.
After all, with renting a house and four elderly people and three younger brothers, one of whom was terminally ill, it was normal for Jiang Kuo to give up.
Even when he returned home that night, Jiang Kuo didn't mention sending him back to school again.
This made Wen Han feel much more relaxed, and she even treated herself to an extra meal when she returned to school.
Holding a bucket of fried chicken wings and carrying a bag of clay pot rice from the cafeteria, Wen Han saw Rong Jun lifting weights as soon as she opened the door.
Wen Han asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly start exercising?"
Rong Jun, panting, said, "I got scolded today."
After learning that Rong Jun's grandfather was a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, the teacher asked him to demonstrate for everyone. However, the person being pricked was timid, and Rong Jun couldn't hold him down. As soon as the needle was inserted, the person jumped and pierced his arm.
"So you've started exercising." Wen Han often heard her neighbor, who studied orthopedics, making plans to go to the gym to lift weights. "Why are there so many [weights] on the ground?"
Rong Jun is holding a yellow barbell, and there are blue, pink, green, and orange ones on the ground... If you didn't know better, you'd think he was trying to collect the whole rainbow.
"That way, you can change the color every day according to your mood."
That's really something. Wen Han felt a little threatened seeing him like this, since she herself rarely ran after starting university.
Rong Jun had just bought a bunch of them, so Wen Han started lifting weights with Rong Jun every night when she came home.
Who knows, we might need it someday.

"Wen, Han".
"Wen...Han," Wen Han said, enunciating each word clearly, "Wen—Han—"
"Wah wah." Qiaotao opened her mouth and wailed.
"Sigh." Wen Han gave up.
Chu Ji and Jing Feng had something to do, so they asked Wen Han to help look after the baby.
Qiaotao smelled of a baby's milk, and there was also a hint of Chu Ji's pheromones. As Wen Han smelled her, she felt like she was turning into an old demon who ate babies.
"So cute." But why doesn't he cry at all for so long? He just blinks his big eyes and stares at him. Is it normal for a baby not to cry at all?
Moreover, no matter how Wen Han made funny faces to amuse him, he didn't react at all, making him feel like a clown performing.
"Sigh." Wen Han sighed and took out a teething biscuit for him.
"These cookies smell really good," Wen Han said, shaking the jar.
I heard that my teeth came in very quickly when I was a child, so I never got to try teething biscuits.
Even though I've tasted it, I've probably forgotten about it.
Wen Han picked up a stick to try, but her mouth went blank after one bite.
Why can't I bite it?
Although it's for a baby and is bound to be hard to chew, how could an adult like me possibly not be able to bite it? Wen Han didn't believe it and tried to bite it with his molars. As a result, he felt pain and remembered that he had had a root canal on this tooth.
"Ouch!" Wen Han covered her cheek, thankfully she had dental crowns done back then.
"Sigh." Wen Han stopped rolling on the ground and looked at Qiao Tao in disbelief.
The baby had such a helpless look in his eyes. He sighed softly again, a very clear "ah".
Wen Han: "......"
After Chu Ji returned, he brought Wen Han some snacks from the mall.
"Huh?" Chu Ji picked up the baby and laughed, "Why aren't you asleep yet? My sweet baby should be asleep by now."
Qiaotao sighed as she looked at Chu Ji.
"Hmm?" Chu Ji frowned. "How come such a young baby has already learned to sigh? Who taught you that?"
"Wow wow."
Wen Han looked up at the sky.
Jing Feng went to put the child to sleep, and Chu Ji asked, "Is that Dr. Jiang still pursuing you?"
"No." Wen Han happily told him what method she had used.
Chu Ji paused for a moment: "What if he goes and inquires about your family situation again?"
"Impossible," Wen Han said nonchalantly. "I'm definitely not a suitable partner in his eyes anymore, so why would he still have designs on me?"
"No matter what, we still need to be careful," Chu Ji said. "It would be best if you weren't in the same hospital. You could tell the school you'd like to change your internship location?"
"But I'm already familiar with the other people, and I'm not used to being in a different place." Wen Han was really unwilling to give up just because she had to avoid Jiang Kuo, since she had already invested time and effort.

As Wen Han entered her second year of university, her classes became increasingly demanding, leaving her with almost no free time. Her advisor told her that she didn't need to go to the hospital for the time being and that she should prioritize her studies.
Even if he didn't say that, Wen Han would have already surrendered. He was so engrossed in class every day that he wondered if he was a pig.
Jingyu was on holiday for Christmas, so he rushed back to Linjin. Unfortunately, Wen Han was on the verge of death because the semi-annual final exams were approaching.
Instead of going out shopping, where the malls were all beautifully decorated, Wen Han had to study. Looking at her textbooks, she felt like crying.
"I don't want to read anymore," Wen Han said. "There's so much to review!"
Jingyu sat next to him, and felt even less inclined to study!
Wen Han thought Jing Yu was going to encourage and comfort her, but instead, he brought fish oil, saying it could enhance memory so that Wen Han wouldn't forget to memorize the book.
Wen Han: "......"
The romantic Christmas that was originally planned was ruined by studying. To be honest, Wen Han and Jing Yu tend to quarrel whenever they study.
The idea that having a lover by your side makes you love learning and gives you boundless energy is something Wen Han thinks is just nonsense from novelists trying to fool children.
If Jingyu likes to eat fish, does that mean he won't dislike it? Impossible. Similarly, even if Jingyu helps him study, studying is still painful; how could he possibly love it?
I wonder if any young couples have broken up because of exams. At this time, even seduction is useless. Wen Han will be immune to Jing Yu's handsome face until the exams are over.
Once the exam was over... Wen Han felt that Jing Yu was really good; if he hadn't urged Jing Yu to study, she would probably have been doomed.
“Look at his teeth.” Wen Han and Jing Yu looked at Qiao Tao again. “They’ve grown so much.”
Qiaotao can already call him "Dad," but when she calls Jingfeng, she can only make a "fu" sound, and when she sees Wenhan, she just makes a "wa wa" sound.
He was clearly unfamiliar with Jing Yu, and his eyes were fixed on Jing Yu.
"So cute." Suddenly someone rang the doorbell. Wen Han thought it was Chu Ji who had forgotten his keys, so she quickly ran to open the door.
"He's here!" Wen Han froze on the spot when the door opened. Why was it Jing Xu standing outside?!
And he didn't come with An Ning, so what's going on?
He tried to call out to Jing Yu but couldn't make a sound. Jing Xu frowned and said, "Aren't you Wen Han? What are you doing here?"
Wen Han swallowed hard.
Fortunately, Chu Ji arrived home in time and happened to see Jing Xu questioning Wen Han at the door. When Wen Han saw Chu Ji, she subconsciously said, "I came to help my senior pack the package."
Jing Xu frowned, and Chu Ji calmly stepped forward and said, "Why have you come?"
Jing Xu remained arrogant: "I've come to see the child."
While they were talking, Wen Han quickly slipped back to his room. He now truly felt that this 100-square-meter apartment was inconvenient; unless Jing Xu was blind, he would definitely see Jing Yu when he went out!
Seeing Wen Han close the door, Jing Yu was completely confused.
Wen Han paced around the room, and seeing that he was still sitting on the floor unmoved, she stamped her foot in frustration: "Your father is here!"
Fortunately, there was a cabinet, and Wen Han opened it so that Jing Yu could hide inside.
