Deng Xiaoxiao was on the verge of collapse. She knew in her heart that Song Jiao's prediction had come true again. This man, Dongfang Lingyun, did not seem to love her as much as she had imagined.
His silence and his avoidance were like sharp arrows, piercing her heart again and again.
"Deng Xiaoxiao, are you being unreasonable?" Dongfang Lingyun's voice was filled with fatigue. "I'm no longer the high-ranking president of the Dongfang Group. I've given up so much for you. My mother has frozen all my bank accounts to get me to come back. You still want me to donate a kidney to you? If I collapse, who will take care of you? Who will earn money to support the family?"
Dongfang Lingyun originally didn't want to tell Deng Xiaoxiao about these things, but he felt that he had to let her face reality and understand his situation.
Deng Xiaoxiao looked at him in astonishment, as if for the first time truly seeing the helplessness and hardship hidden within this man. "How could this happen? How could Auntie do this to you?"
"I'm sorry, Ayun... I really didn't know things would turn out like this." Deng Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame. She lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs, "I was wrong. I will be obedient and work hard to recover."
Dongfang Lingyun looked at her, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.
He gently touched Deng Xiaoxiao's head. "It's not that I don't love you. I love you very much! But in my current situation, I really can't give you a kidney. If my body collapses, what will we do?"
The two of them gradually calmed down and snuggled together again.
At this time, Song Jiao was silently staring at the system screen. She gently clicked on the system mall and used a prop - accelerated onset.
Although it was a bit unethical to do so, she felt it was worth it because she could see the sincere feelings between the lovers.
After all, true love in the world is always worth witnessing.
Tuanzi's mouth twitched slightly. It was obvious that he wanted to see if they could lock it down. Why did they say it in such a high-sounding way?
However, the use of this prop brought about unexpected consequences.
That night, Deng Xiaoxiao's condition suddenly worsened.
After receiving the news, Dongfang Lingyun rushed to the hospital.
He anxiously asked the doctor, "What on earth is going on? Why did her condition suddenly worsen?"
The doctor held up the medical records and said seriously, "This disease is inherently uncontrollable. Now all we can do is find a compatible kidney donor for transplantation as quickly as possible."
Dongfang Lingyun clenched his fists tightly. He knew he had to find a kidney source as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, the lender suddenly called, "Dongfang Lingyun, it's been a week since you borrowed the money. If it's more than a week, you'll have to pay interest."
"Forget it! Do you think I will still owe you money? But can you please stop bothering me now that nothing is wrong?" Dongfang Lingyun was in a state of confusion and just wanted to solve Deng Xiaoxiao's problem as soon as possible.
The lender didn't seem in a hurry to hang up. "Okay, we won't bother you. But if you exceed the deadline, the interest will continue to accrue."
After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Lingyun began to frantically contact his friends, hoping to find a solution.
However, his friends seemed helpless and no one could provide him with any useful information.
Dongfang Lingyun felt unprecedented despair and helplessness.
He knew that he had to find a way to save Deng Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, otherwise he would lose her forever.
This sense of urgency made him feel heartbroken, but it also strengthened his determination to save Deng Xiaoxiao.
He began to run around, looking for all possible clues and resources, just to help Deng Xiaoxiao get a new life.
In the hospital corridor, people walked hurriedly, their faces solemn. The news of Deng Xiaoxiao's worsening condition spread like wildfire and soon reached Yang Lin's ears.
Even the fact that Dongfang Lingyun borrowed high-interest loans to raise medical expenses was exposed.
The Yang family's housekeeper carefully observed Yang Lin's expression and asked tentatively, "Madam, are we really going to ignore the young master?"
Yang Lin turned her head, a chill between her brows. "What? He's already resorting to loan sharking, and you still want me to bring him back? To let him continue to suck the blood of our family?"
The housekeeper lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. He knew Yang Lin's temper very well, and at this moment, silence was the best option.
Yang Lin took a deep breath, her eyes falling on the portrait hanging not far away. It was her late husband.
She pondered for a moment, then turned to the housekeeper and said, "If one doesn't work, let's try the other."
The housekeeper was stunned, not understanding what Yang Lin meant, "Madam, you mean..."
"Go and get the child." Yang Lin's tone was firm and unquestionable.
The housekeeper's eyes widened. "That's not..." He swallowed the rest of the words, but he knew Yang Lin understood what he meant. The child was born to the master's mistress outside and had never been accepted by the family.
Yang Lin seemed unusually calm. "No matter who gave birth to the child, as long as it's useful, it's a good seedling. Go and pick him up."
The housekeeper nodded and turned to make arrangements. He understood that Yang Lin was planning to use the child as a bargaining chip to get Dongfang Lingyun to come back.
At the same time, Song Jiao's life is leisurely and comfortable.
Apart from reading gay comics every day, she runs her own small business and earns some money. Her life is comfortable and fulfilling.
However, this calm was broken half a month later.
Dongfang Lingyun appeared in front of her again. He had a beard and looked haggard, which formed a sharp contrast with Song Jiao's bright and handsome appearance.
"Qiao Wan, I beg you!" Dongfang Lingyun's voice was filled with tears, "Please save Xiaoxiao!"
Song Jiao looked at him coldly, "That's your woman, what does it have to do with me?"
Dongfang Lingyun was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Song Jiao to be so cold.
He said in a trembling voice: "I know I have let you down before, but Xiaoxiao...she really needs your help."
"How can I help you?" Song Jiao's tone remained indifferent. "Help you find a kidney donor? Or help you raise money?"
Dongfang Lingyun lowered his head, his voice choking with sobs. "I...I'm at my wit's end. I can't find a matching kidney, and I can't raise enough money."
He raised his head, tears glistening in his eyes, "Qiao Wan, I know I was a bastard before, but this time I really have no choice. I beg you, save her!"
Song Jiao looked at Dongfang Lingyun and laughed out loud. If she hadn't seen on the system screen last night that this man had been checking to see if he had had a kidney removed, she would have wondered what his reaction would be.
She was about to believe in the man's deep love.
"Hasn't your first two stints in jail taught you a lesson? Why don't you try going in again?"
