Soon, Ye Huanhuan accompanied Cheng Yue to the school gate, where a middle-aged couple stood under the shade of a tree.
The two seemed to have been waiting for a long time, their faces showing signs of fatigue and impatience.
The woman's appearance was about 50% similar to Cheng Yue's, and it was obvious without asking that she must be Cheng Yue's mother.
She wore a simple dress, her hair was casually tied up, and her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and competence.
The man had an honest and simple appearance, with a large belly and a somewhat overweight look, and a kind smile on his face.
As soon as the two saw Cheng Yue, they quickly walked towards her. From afar, they could hear Cheng Yue's mother's shrill voice, cursing and swearing:
"You brat, why are you only coming out now? What were you dawdling about? Do you know how long we've been waiting here?"
Her tone was full of dissatisfaction, as if Cheng Yue had committed some terrible mistake.
"mom……"
Cheng Yue opened her mouth and called out to the woman, as if she wanted to explain something, but in the end she chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Ye Huanhuan quickly smoothed things over and called out to Cheng Yue's mother:
"Auntie, Cheng Yue came to pick you up as soon as she received your call, but the classroom is too far from the school gate. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue's mother immediately turned her attention to Ye Huanhuan and looked her up and down.
Who are you?
Ye Huanhuan smiled politely and introduced herself: "Hello, Auntie, I am Cheng Yue's classmate, my name is Ye Huanhuan."
Cheng Yue's mother clearly didn't believe her. She frowned and asked bluntly, "Are you really Cheng Yue's classmate? You don't seem like it."
As she spoke, she actually commented on Ye Huanhuan in front of everyone: "Look at your outfit, you're dressed so maturely, where is the student look?"
Ye Huanhuan's smile froze, but she still maintained basic politeness and explained, "Auntie, I am a special admission student at the school, so I am indeed a bit older than Cheng Yue."
Cheng Yue's mother snorted disdainfully, "You don't look like a good person! Humph, I don't care who you are, just stay away from Cheng Yue from now on, or you'll corrupt her."
After saying that, she pulled Cheng Yue toward the car.
"Mom, please don't do this!"
Cheng Yue tried to struggle, but her mother was too strong, and she had no ability to resist.
Ye Huanhuan was stunned. She had never expected that Cheng Yue's mother would be such a strong-willed person.
The man standing nearby couldn't help but advise, "Xiangping, be gentle, don't hurt Yueyue."
However, his advice seemed to ignite the anger in Cheng Yue's mother's heart. She turned around angrily and shouted at the man:
"Look at her, she's gotten so fat in just a few months! I have to pull hard to move her!"
The man sighed helplessly, trying to ease the tension, "Then you should talk to her nicely."
But Cheng Yue's mother seemed to be blinded by anger, completely ignoring the man's words, and continued to shout loudly:
"Do you think she'll listen if I speak to her nicely? Look at her, for some complete stranger, she's actually going to donate bone marrow behind my back. I raised her all these years, not so she could contribute to others for free!"
Upon hearing her mother's words, Cheng Yue immediately stopped in her tracks. "Mom, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I'm just doing a good deed."
"Do good deeds? Do you think you're Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
Cheng Yue's mother glared at Cheng Yue and said sternly, "I'm not buying this! You should think about me, not your own health. What will I do if something happens to you?"
Cheng Yue bit her lip, her face full of grievance, and said, "Mom, I know you're worried about me, but I really want to help Weiwei. I've already promised her, and I can't go back on my word."
Cheng Yue's mother poked Cheng Yue's head hard with her hand and scolded, "Are you stupid? Such a big thing, you just agreed to it so easily? Who is this person to you? Did they raise you or give you money?"
The man beside her quickly grabbed Cheng Yue's mother's hand and advised, "Yueyue meant well... why are you so angry?"
Cheng Yue's mother turned around and glared at the man angrily. "How can I not be angry? She wants to donate bone marrow to someone and doesn't want to ask for a single penny. But what if something happens to her? Who will take responsibility? Will those people take responsibility?"
Ye Huanhuan quickly caught up and said to Cheng Yue's mother with a sincere expression, "Auntie, I will take responsibility for this."
Cheng Yue's mother looked at Ye Huanhuan with disdain and said, "You'll take responsibility? What responsibility are you going to take? What business is this of yours, an outsider?"
Ye Huanhuan immediately explained, "Auntie, Ji Ming is my friend. Cheng Yue is donating bone marrow to save her sister, so of course I have to take responsibility for this."
Cheng Yue's mother: "Hmph, you're all just trying to trick our Yueyue because you think she's kind, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Huanhuan hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is! Auntie, you've misunderstood. How could we possibly lie to Cheng Yue?"
"Don't think I don't know what you people are thinking. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what you're plotting behind the scenes?"
As she spoke, Cheng Yue's mother curled her lip, "I don't care what you say, but without ten million, there's no point in discussing bone marrow donation!"
"Mom, how could you be like this? All you care about is money!" Cheng Yue forcefully shook off her mother's hand and couldn't help but accuse her.
“What do you mean by that? I’m doing this for your own good!” Cheng Yue’s mother retorted.
