Chapter 561 A Dilemma
Zhong Nianyao's words made Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu almost unable to contain their excitement. They did not doubt Zhong Nianyao's words at all, because such things could not be deceived.
Since my youngest son was born, I have spent most of my time in the hospital. Even when I am at home, I have to have a family doctor who is always there.
What they are most worried about now is that their youngest son will not grow up and will die prematurely.
But now Zhong Nianyao said that there was medicine that could save their youngest son. How could they not be excited?
Li Yiqiu tried hard to control his inner excitement, looked at Zhong Nianyao, and said, "Nianyao, what do you want in exchange for giving us the medicine?"
She wasn't stupid, so she naturally didn't think Zhong Nianyao would be so kind. Especially since she had just mentioned Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, which had clearly crossed Zhong Nianyao's line. But now, Zhong Nianyao was willing to be so kind as to help her youngest son. This was simply impossible.
Zhong Nianyao is not such a kind-hearted saint.
Zhong Mingyu, who was standing by, was a little anxious. "Nian Yao, no matter what, he is still your cousin. You are blood relatives. If you really have a way, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"
"Blood-related?"
Hearing this, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but sneer, "Zhong Mengxuan always uses this excuse when she wants to seek benefits for herself. I'm a little tired of hearing it. Second uncle, do you have any other excuses?"
In an instant, Zhong Mingyu's face turned pale and blue, and he felt speechless.
Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Li Yiqiu, smiling and saying, "Don't be greedy. You can only choose one between your daughter and your son. I can let Zhong Mengxuan go this time and save her from imprisonment. However, I can't give you the medicine I just mentioned."
"On the contrary, if you want that medicine, you must completely give up Zhong Mengxuan. And—"
When she said this, Zhong Nianyao suddenly broke into a brilliant smile. "You need to go to the detention center in person and tell Zhong Mengxuan that you, as her parents, must completely give up on her."
After saying this, Zhong Nianyao's gaze flickered between Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu. "Life can't be too perfect. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Now you have two paths before you: your daughter's future or your son's future?"
"Oh, there's one more thing I want to tell you."
As if she suddenly thought of something, Zhong Nianyao patted her head and said, "Actually, there is one more thing I almost forgot to tell you."
"Although my cousin's health is poor, he's not destined for premature death. On the contrary, he will definitely live to a ripe old age. However, he will undoubtedly be frail and sickly, unable to lead a normal life. But one thing I can guarantee is that it will not affect his lifespan."
So, sons and daughters, how do you choose?
Zhong Nianyao looked at Zhong Mingyu and Li Yiqiu with a smile, quietly waiting for their reply.
If it was before, she would definitely not be able to cure her little cousin's deficiency. But now, she can do it.
However, this was a disaster he should have gone through, so she had no intention of intervening. Unfortunately, Li Yiqiu had already crossed her bottom line.
Since that's the case, she won't let Li Yiqiu have an easy time.
Didn't Li Yiqiu want to save Zhong Mengxuan? Then let her choose carefully: which was more important, her daughter who was about to go to prison, or her frail and sickly son?
Zhong Nian Yao's words immediately put Li Yi Qiu in a dilemma, because no matter whether she chose a son or a daughter, she would not feel happy.
While hesitating, she involuntarily shifted her gaze to Zhong Mingyu, as if she wanted him to make the decision.
At this moment, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "Li Yiqiu, I'm asking you to make a choice now. Only your choice counts! I can't stand the choice made by my second uncle!"
That leisurely look really deserves a beating.
Li Yiqiu's face was filled with pain. She looked at Zhong Nianyao, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to torture me, so you made me make this choice, right?"
On one side is her daughter, on the other side is her son. No matter what choice she makes, she will not be happy in the end, because choosing one means she has given up the other.
Zhong Nianyao was deliberately taking revenge on her because she had just mentioned Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, which annoyed her.
Otherwise, why didn't Zhong Nian Yao mention this matter all this time, and now there is suddenly a medicine that can save her youngest son?
"Yes, I did it on purpose."
Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and smiled, then said without hiding anything, "I just want to see how you would react when faced with such a dilemma."
Although she knew that the future of her son and daughter was now in the hands of Zhong Nianyao, Li Yiqiu still couldn't hide the resentment in her heart, "Zhong Nianyao, you are really too cruel."
"Vicious?"
As if she had just heard a joke, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but laugh a few times before she spoke, "Zhong Mengxuan rushed into my lounge with a dagger and attacked me on the day of my engagement party. Isn't that cruel?"
"You're blackmailing me now, asking me to let go of the people who want to kill me. Isn't that cruel? The most important point is—"
When she said this, she suddenly paused, and then her eyes fell on Li Yiqiu, "You are trying to drag grandpa and grandma into this, isn't that cruel?"
Li Yiqiu felt guilty instantly after hearing these words. "I was just saying that. I never thought of bothering Mom and Dad with this matter."
At this moment, she really regretted it.
If she had known that mentioning Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong would cause such a strong reaction from Zhong Nian Yao, she would not have dared to mention these two elderly people at all.
"I don't care what you think." Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "But you have stepped on my bottom line, so I can't let you have it easy."
When she said this, she even started to urge him, "Hurry up and make a choice! I don't have that much time to waste here with you."
"If you're still reluctant to make a choice, I'll assume you've given up on both sides."
"Choose your son," Zhong Mingyu said through gritted teeth, "Hurry up and tell me!"
