[Memories 1]
That was when Xiao Qianshan told him that he and Xiao Wujie were a bone marrow match.
She looked at Xiao Qianshan, slightly stunned.
The success rate of bone marrow matching among relatives is generally higher than that among strangers, but it is mainly based on siblings and parents.
The probability of a successful match between a grandfather and grandson is very low.
She never expected that Xiao Shuihan and Luo Yilan would both fail, but Xiao Qianshan would be a match.
A successful match is certainly good news, but the problem is that Xiao Qianshan is too old. As people age, their bodies weaken, which is a natural law.
No matter how healthy he is normally, as a 90-year-old man, it is difficult for his physical indicators to meet the standards, and bone marrow extraction would be quite risky for him.
"I've already had a medical check-up, and the results will be available soon."
“My health is in good condition and my bone marrow is available. As long as the levels are within the acceptable range, I will have the bone marrow removed immediately. Even if they are not within the acceptable range, it is probably just some minor discrepancies that can be addressed with some adjustments.”
Before she could speak, Xiao Qianshan reassured her.
He was willing to risk obtaining marrow to save Xiao Wujie.
Chu Liyue's gaze remained unmoved; this bone marrow was of paramount importance to Xiao Wujie.
Xiao Qianshan held a high position of power and was also Xiao Wujie's grandfather. She had no leverage to negotiate with him, and whether she accepted the offer or not was entirely up to him.
She lowered her proud head from the bottom of her heart and said "thank you" to him.
Then, she talked to Xiao Qianshan about her hidden worries.
Her bringing Xiao Wujie to the Xiao family and the relationship between Xiao Wujie and the Xiao family could not be kept secret from those hiding in the shadows.
By following the clues, they could probably figure out her purpose in bringing Xiao Wujie to the Xiao family.
She reminded Xiao Qianshan to make thorough preparations.
Xiao Qianshan understood Aisie Hall better than she did, and took it seriously.
[Memories 2]
On the eve of her departure with Xiao Wujie to Underwater Prison No. 0.
In Xiao Qianshan's room, she and Xiao Qianshan looked at each other and both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Knowing Aisie Hall as they did, they knew she wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by.
Xiao Qianshan produced his physical examination report. Despite his high position and careful maintenance, his health was surprisingly good.
Only two indicators were slightly off, and they could be met with minimal adjustments.
He revealed his plans, but they had no way of knowing what Aisie Hall was planning. However, Xiao Wujie's health was of utmost importance.
So whenever they return, as long as his body meets the requirements, he will immediately have his bone marrow extracted and processed and preserved using cryogenic technology.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed to his idea.
Just in case, she left two things for Xiao Qianshan.
First, there is a magnetic field blocking device that can suppress supernatural techniques; second, there is a small tube of reagent number three.
The former gives him the means to restrain Aisie Hall, while the latter, in case of emergency, could be a game-changer.

In the operating room, Chu Liyue looked at Xiao Qianshan on the hospital bed, who was beginning to recover under the operation of the robotic arm, and felt a great sense of relief.
She and Xiao Qianshan tacitly chose to conceal the matter of the bone marrow, with the main purpose of alleviating Xiao Wujie's psychological burden.
The Xiao family had a great atmosphere, better than the Chu family. It was almost the best of all the wealthy families she had ever seen. Such a family was worthy of Xiao Wujie's affections.
Xiao Wujie didn't say it, but she knew that he actually longed for family affection more than anyone else, but he had never received it and was unwilling and dared not ask for it again.
She felt gratified to see Xiao Wujie getting along better and better with the Xiao family, but the more harmonious the relationship became, the more worried she became about Xiao Qianshan.
Xiao Wujie, a sensitive and perceptive person, could not possibly accept that his own flesh and blood would exchange their lives for each other.
Even if he gains a new life through this, he will be destined to live in the shadow of self-blame for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Xiao Qianshan cannot be harmed.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had made preparations in advance and that Xiao Qianshan was exceptionally capable; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face Xiao Wujie or how to save him.
Unlike the operating room, the outside of the operating room is cold and oppressive.
Although Xiao Yuxuan, Xiao Linzui, and Xiao Shuihan were trembling with anxiety, they were middle-aged people who had experienced life and death, so they could still maintain their composure on the surface.
Xiao Fengyin and Xiao Jingyuan slumped in their chairs, their eyes unfocused.
For Xiao Wujie, this was a completely new experience; in the past, he was always the one lying in the operating room.
So this is what it feels like to wait outside the operating room.
He understood why his sister always looked so haggard whenever he was seriously ill.
This is not only physical torture, but also psychological torture.
Xiao Qianshan was the first relative he met, his own grandfather, and he felt a great fondness for this seemingly serious but actually sensitive old man.
He felt that Xiao Qianshan had been very good to him, but he never expected that Xiao Qianshan would take his marrow at the age of ninety, which allowed Aisie Hall to take advantage of the situation.
Aisie Hall and Xiao Qianshan, both chairmen of God for decades, had never been enemies. This unexpected disaster was entirely because of him.
If something happens to Xiao Qianshan, he really doesn't know how to face Xiao Shuihan and the Xiao family.
He is shrouded in darkness and will only bring them misfortune; recognizing him as a relative at this time might be a mistake...
Lu Zhufeng and the others stayed by his side. Luo Yilan stayed with Xiao Shuihan for a while, then, worried about him, she sat down beside him, hugged him, and, knowing that her comfort was futile, couldn't help but feel sorry for him and try to soothe him.
"Honey, trust Li Yue. Nothing is certain yet, don't blame yourself."
Luo Yilan's voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet corridor.
Xiao Shuihan was burning with anxiety. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but turn to look at Xiao Wujie, who was sitting under the lamplight, but the light couldn't penetrate the gloom surrounding him.
He suppressed his emotions, knelt down beside Xiao Wujie, and gently patted the back of his hand. His voice was hoarse, but he tried his best to be gentle.
"My dear son, don't be upset. If you don't believe your grandfather, how can you not believe Li Yue?"
"She said there's hope, there must be a way."
A shadow loomed over Xiao Wujie's slender frame. Looking up, he met Xiao Yuxuan's sharp, blade-like face. Xiao Yuxuan's broad hand pressed against Xiao Wujie's shoulder, his voice chillingly menacing:
"Good child, don't blame yourself. No one in the Xiao family will blame you for what happened to your grandfather."
“Your grandfather is even more willing. As long as you are well, even if your grandfather dies, it will be a worthy death.”
The operating room door opened, and a low, cold voice came out: "He's not dead."
P.S.: I initially intended to kill off Xiao Qianshan as a tragic character, but considering the character development of Wu Jie, I think that if something happens to Xiao Qianshan, it will likely become a source of self-blame and shadow for his entire life.
Moreover, the Xiao family has a happy and harmonious atmosphere, and I think the old man is portrayed as quite multifaceted and lovable, so I won't stab him in the back.
According to fate, Xiao Qianshan should have left, but since his sister is the destined female lead, with the blessing of his sister's luck, it can be said that the plot hole was not completely filled.
