Chapter 325 I Love You
kin.The skin under her fingers was coarse, not delicate at all. Despite being only in her twenties, every part of her body bore the marks of time's passage.His finger trailed across her unplucked eyeb...Jian Mo Bai's bone marrow transplant was getting closer.
He had already changed into his surgical gown, and Mrs. Jian was accompanying him.
"Mo Bai, don't be nervous, nothing will happen," said Mrs. Jian, but her son remained silent.
Looking at her son's gaunt cheeks, she secretly berated Jian Tong in her heart.
"If it weren't for a kind person who successfully matched you, that little girl Xiaotong almost killed you."
Jian Mo Bai seemed to be annoyed:
"Mom! Stop it!"
"Hey What's wrong with you, kid"
"Mom is worried about you, what are you yelling at me for"
"Mom, please don't talk to the child like that."
"How can I not speak up She doesn't care about family at all."
Mrs. Jian hated her daughter from the bottom of her heart.
Although things have been clarified, back then she did misunderstand that Jian Tong wasn't her biological daughter.
But after things were cleared up, Mrs. Jian still treated her son and daughter differently.
After all, the son has been raised by his side since he was a child and is very close to him.
As for that girl… Just thinking about her returning to S city and taking away all of the Jian family's assets.
The Jian surname should have always been a distant one.
Besides, despite repeated pleas, the girl stubbornly refused to donate bone marrow to save her own brother. In Mrs. Jian's heart, Jian Tong was a person who disregarded family ties and was utterly cold-blooded.
Jian Mo Bai's heart was in turmoil at this moment.
Though he had seen hope for life, though someone donated bone marrow to him, he didn't have to die, nor did he have to live under the constant threat of death.
He should have relaxed, but as time passed, he became more and more agitated.
Medical staff have already notified him that the anonymous donor is about to begin donating bone marrow.
He reached out and grabbed the nurse:
"Wait a moment... you... could you tell me, what is the name of the kind person who donated their bone marrow to me"
"Sorry, the other party is unwilling to disclose their name." The nurse smiled kindly. "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just take good care of yourself."
Saying that, he turned and left.
Jian Mo Bai was even more troubled and restless. Mrs. Jian naturally noticed that her son's state was wrong, she only thought that Jian Mo Bai was worried.
"The medical staff said, telling you to rest assured.
Son, don't think too much, Mom is with you.
While comforting him, Mrs. Jian also thought of the sad parts:
That old geezer, Jian Zhen Dong, his own son is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant, yet he doesn't even show his face.
"He might be having a good time with some young fox spirit somewhere, the old geezer deserves to die a miserable death..."
Mrs. Jian was cursing and ranting, Jian Mo felt agitated and annoyed. He suddenly sat up from the bed and got off, ready to leave.
"Son, what are you doing"
Mrs. Jian chased after her.
The white figure ahead was running faster and faster.
"Wait, Mom."
Mrs. Jian took her expensive handbag and hurried after him, taking three steps as two.
Jian Mo Bai ran up and bumped straight into the nurse from before:
"Wait a minute! Take me with you!" he hissed.
"Please take me to the operating room where bone marrow donations are performed."
His eyes darted around, the nurse being held looked terrified: "Let go of her first, the donor doesn't want to reveal their name."
"Please, take me with you, okay" Jian Mo's voice softened, her eyes filled with pleading.
The nurse looked a little softened, but she still shook her head.
“Jian Mo Bai refused to let go: “Is the donor my sister My sister’s name is Jian Tong, isn't it her”
He's not stupid, there's no such thing as a coincidence. His sister just visited him and that same day there was a successful donor match.
These days, he was deceiving himself, convincing himself that it wasn't what he thought it was, that the donor was someone else.
But in his heart, he already sensed that things were too coincidental.
He wanted to live. He pretended not to know anything, but every night, he would remember what his sister had said when she came to see him.
He asked his mother to bring over a locked diary. The old diary opened, the childish handwriting in front of him...
Every little detail recorded, he had already forgotten the time of his childhood with the child.
The handwriting was very childish, and at the time I didn't even know all the Chinese characters. Some words were replaced with phonetic spellings, and some sentences weren't even grammatically correct.
From an adult's perspective, the contents of this diary are both amusing and childish.
But it reminded him of the past.
Every diary entry records the little things that happened each day. Some are about jealousy of the child receiving praise from his grandfather, others about what books the child read or what movies he watched... As he flips through a notebook, he suddenly realizes that an entire notebook is filled with every detail of his childhood, and the child has always been there.
He looked at the entry, written by the little girl. It told of how he had stood in front of her and taken the blow meant for her, rescuing her from the hands of the thugs. He looked at that day's diary entry, which read:
Today is the happiest day of my life, I protected my younger sister. It turns out protecting her makes me so happy. From now on, I will always protect her.
He looked at the text, blurred by tears. He read through those vows, remembering how he said protecting his sister would make him happy, how he promised to protect her for life. But later on, this notebook, long forgotten, had been tossed into some dusty corner.
"My sister only has one kidney, she can't donate bone marrow to me."
Jian Mo Bai said, "Take me there, and I will stop forcing her to donate bone marrow."
The nurse looked at the man in front of her, who had been ravaged by illness, his face gaunt and his eyes filled with tears. Her heart ached with compassion.
Just about to speak.
A chilling voice echoed from behind: “It’s good that you remember little Tong's kindness in the end, remember she is your sister.”
Jian Mo Bai heard the familiar voice and was suddenly startled. He raised his head and looked over, "Shen..."
The man stood coldly three meters away, raising his chin: "Where's your ward"
"In..." He instinctively wanted to answer, but then he remembered that someone was risking their life to donate bone marrow for him: "Shen Xiujin, you're here just in time, Xiao Tong is about to donate bone marrow to me, go get her out quickly!"
Mrs. Jian was dumbfounded.
At first I didn't understand, but then slowly I understood what happened.
A sense of guilt welled up, but looking at her withered son, she reached out and grabbed Jian Mo Bai's hand:
"You're about to have surgery, son. Don't think too much. Come back to the ward with me."
"No, I want to find the little boy."
"Go to the ward, I have something to say to you." The man beside him spoke in a cold voice. Seeing Jian Mo Bai not moving, he lightly reminded:
I will not allow children to take risks.
Jian Mo Bai seemed to have been awakened... That's right, Shen Xiu Jin wouldn't let anything happen to the child.
……
In the ward
Shen Xiujin found a lounge chair to sit down, facing him, was Jian Mo Bai sitting on the bedside.
"She lied to me, to get you to donate bone marrow."
The first sentence broke the silence abruptly.
Jian Mo's face drained of color, and he gradually fell into despair: "I'll go find her! I won't force her to donate bone marrow anymore!" He said this as he stood up to leave.
I personally brought the child who was being given growth factors back home.
The second sentence stopped Jian Mo Bai in his tracks.
"That donor..." Jian Mo Bai was puzzled.
"It's your brother."
"
Your younger brother's pairing, it was faked from the beginning. I knew about this a long time ago. But Xiaotong doesn't care about you, his older brother, so I just watched with cold eyes.
"At most, send a bouquet of chrysanthemums at the end."
Jian Mo Bai wanted to speak... This person was too cold.
Knowing the truth, yet standing by and watching this farce unfold.
"You know, she's been looking for a bone marrow donor ever since she found out about your illness. She's had people searching for a match. "
It seems... I underestimated her soft heart.
Saying that, Shen Xiujin self-deprecatingly curled the corner of his lips:
When she couldn't find a match, she decided to donate herself.
Since she cares about your life and death, I can't just stand by and watch anymore.
I found your father's son born outside of our marriage. So, the one lying in that hospital room now, is your brother.
"The one who is going to donate bone marrow to you, is also your brother."
Jian Mo Bai wasn't stupid. Since he fell ill, his father had only visited a few times. That father of his didn't care about his life or death at all.
And so-called younger brother and his mother, have been making a fuss about returning to the Jian family to claim their ancestral home.
Why do we go through the ritual of ancestral recognition
It's just about money.
"How much did you give"
He didn't believe that woman wasn't greedy.
Shen Xiujin raised his eyes to glance at Jian Mo Bai, tugged at the corner of his mouth:
“A publicly traded advertising company worth $200 million, and another $100 million in cash.”
Mrs. Jian listened beside her, drawing a sharp breath and, without thinking, her face contorted with anger:
How could you give that little wretch and scoundrel so much
"Do they match"
After finishing his words, Shen Xiujin let out a cold laugh and looked at Mrs. Jian:
"Is Jian Tong's life worth anything"
Mrs. Jian's face flushed immediately.
"Jian Mo Bai, remember this, your life was saved by Jian Tong."
Shen Xiujin finished speaking and stood up: "So remember to live well, from now on, don't muddle through life anymore."
As for Jian, ”Shen Xiujin sneered:
"The Jian family was already a mess. Don't think that Jian Tong got the better end of the deal, the Jian family is a hot potato."
When mentioning Jian Shi, Mrs. Jian became agitated: "Nonsense, how could Jian Shi's vast assets be a hot potato "
But since Jian gave it to the child, we won't fight for it anymore. Aren't you afraid that we and the child will fight over Jian
Shen Xiujin looked at Mrs. Jian, who was beaming with excitement, as if she were incredibly generous. A sarcastic curve played on his thin lips:
Has the Jian family surpassed the Shen family
"..."
"As for the Shen family, little Jane is what I desire. I am willing to offer her with both hands." This implies that you, a mere member of the Jian family, are insignificant.
Mrs. Jian's face was filled with shock, followed by suspicion and disbelief... How could anyone willingly hand over all of Madam Shen's assets
"Just talk, anyone can talk." Words are cheap.
Shen Xiujin smiled and let it go, not explaining much.
Only when her gaze fell upon Jian Mo Bai's face:
Have you never cared about Jian
Just put your hand up, and if you have no money, reach out to the company.
"Haven't you grown accustomed to a life of ease, with food readily available and money always at your fingertips You simply reach out whenever you need it, right"
Jian Mo Bai was embarrassed and flushed after being sarcastically mocked.
But there was no arguing with it.
In days past, he had always lived a carefree and unrestrained life. No money It didn't matter; his family was well-off anyway.
He never really worried about money.
Before Jian Tong moved into the Jian family, things were already chaotic within the Jian household.
Each person at the higher level has their own thoughts, and those doing the work below also have their own ideas.
Jian Zhen Dong couldn't control the people. Being impulsive, he took most of the company's reserves while Jian Tong moved in to live at Jian Shi.
"Jian once fell into a state of financial distress."
Shen Xiujin spoke leisurely:
"Jian Mo Bai, you've at least studied finance and dealt with company procedures. You should understand this: for a company, a funding gap is a very tricky situation."
Jian Mo Bai couldn't believe what he heard.
Shocked!
Jian Shi, running out of cash!
He really wanted to refute the statement, but it came from Shen Xiuqin's lips.
He had no rebuttal.
"Have you ever thought, Xiao Tong, she has never wanted to fight with you over anything"
After Shen Xiujin finished speaking, he left directly.
Only Jian Mo Bai remained, standing there in shame.
The little girl... Since she came back from Erhai Lake, she has been helping him contact bone marrow banks. She was probably thinking that if no one is a match, she would donate her bone marrow herself in the end.
Jian Mo's heart was as sharp as a knife... She had never wanted to compete with her for anything.
As for Jian's crisis, she let him and his mother misunderstand the extent of the benefits she received and never mentioned it.
Besides, the medical expenses during his hospitalization were considerable. His mother was used to spending money lavishly, and every month, the allowance for her and her son was always paid on time.
Mrs. Jian lowered her head, and at this moment, no one knew what she was thinking.
And no one saw her reddened eyes.
Only she herself knows the true extent of her feelings for this daughter, whether they are genuine or feigned.
……
Life went on as usual, Vivian came to the apartment many times, but was stopped at the door each time.
Only by roundabout means can one understand what happened.
Including the incident where Jian Tong went to the hospital to donate bone marrow, but was firmly stopped by Shen Xiu Jin.
The shares of the company in her hands felt hot to the touch.
After searching the apartment building several times, I couldn't find Jian Tong.
Vivian was frantic, and today, outside her door, she could no longer contain herself. She shouted loudly:
"This is imprisonment! Imprisonment!"
Let me in
"Don't let me in, I'm calling the police right now!"
Shen Er stared at the woman, her head throbbing. She was agitated and screaming, scratching and cursing at him. This woman radiated charm, but when she lost control, she was just like a shrew.
"Quiet! Stop yelling!" Shen Er whispered urgently:
"The mistress is having a nap. Could you please be quiet!"
"Okay, you want me to be quiet Move aside and let me in."
"I'll just say hello to General Jian and then leave, okay"
Seeing her provocative manner, Shen Er didn't believe her words at all.
He reached out to stop Vivian, but the woman opened her mouth and said, “How dare you bite me! Are you a dog”
"Will you let me in, will you let me in!" Vivian had all her skills ready to go, she had to see the person today.
She crouched downstairs in the apartment building, watching Shen Xiuqin get into the car and leave before running upstairs.
Who knew, this surname Shen is truly not a good person. Even after he left, he still left his belongings behind and kept standing at the door.
"Look at the prisoner! Our Jian is a real, living person!"
"Please don't put me in a difficult position, please be quiet, madam is resting..."
As she was speaking, the raving madwoman who had been clinging to him with all her might suddenly cried out: "Fire! Fire!"
"Stop fooling around!" Shen Er thought she had come up with another trick and immediately became impatient, his face grim as he said.
"Look! Smoke!"
Shen Er saw that her expression didn't seem fake. He turned his head and followed her finger to look at the door... Smoke was coming out from under the crack in the door.
Suddenly, Shen Er's face changed drastically. He shook off the woman clinging to him and pulled out his keys, hurriedly opening the door: "Madam! What happened…"
Before he could finish speaking, he was choked by the thick smoke and coughed violently.
Vivian rushed in immediately, "Little one, don't scare me! You can't commit suicide!"
Unable to bear the intense smoke, the flames danced wildly.
While Shen Er dialed the fire department, he tried to rush inside but to no avail.
A figure flashed past him, darting inside.
Shen Er blinked, and the man had already charged into the thick smoke.
"Boss! Don't go!"
"Danger!"
Shen Er shouted, but the man ignored him. He charged into the smoke-filled house and searched around, but he couldn't find the woman anywhere.
He immediately rushed to the bedroom door, but it wouldn't open.
"Child! Open the door! Child!!! Please open the door!"
He desperately smashed the door, but he couldn't get it open. He slammed his body against it repeatedly, but something was blocking it from behind.
He was going crazy with worry.
Shen Er rushed into the living room and onto the balcony, opening all the windows he could reach.
Thick smoke billowed outward, the visibility inside the house gradually clearing, but the flames continued to dance. Shen Er disregarded everything, rushed to the poolside, turned the tap to its maximum, and looked at Vivienne who was petrified:
"What are you standing there for! Help put out the fire!"
Fortunately, the house was humid, so the fire didn't get out of control. However, because the house was damp, things like the curtains, carpet, and bedding caught fire but only produced puffs of thick smoke.
This is, in a way, fortunate misfortune.
But the fire in the living room could be controlled, but the one in the bedroom was difficult.
That woman wouldn't open the door, and no one could get in.
Luckily, the fire station wasn't far and they arrived quickly.
"The door won't open."
"Come in through the window."
Shen Xiuqin was taken aback, a wave of despair washing over him: "The window is welded with an anti-theft window."
At this moment, he regretted it deeply.
"Jian Tong! Open the door!" He pounded desperately, continuously ramming with his body: "Open the door, I...I beg you, open the door, Little Tong. Your brother is fine now, your brother has already had a bone marrow transplant."
The things you worry about won't happen.
Your brother will be fine. Just open the door first.
There was no answer from inside the house.
"Little one, really, I've found someone to donate bone marrow for your brother. I'm taking you to see him now, open the door."
"Summer Butler has also been legally punished."
Six years ago, I already knew the truth. You were innocent. Xia Wei Ming wasn't killed by you. I know everything now! It was my fault, Xiao Tong, open the door!
The man pounded on the door desperately, he had never been so terrified, terrified that she would just disappear from this world.
He was mumbling incoherently, talking non-stop. He didn't even know what he was saying, he just hoped that the woman in the house would open the door.
Outside the window, a high-altitude crane was set up, and the rescue worker on the crane confirmed that the person inside the house was still alive. She sat huddled behind the door, pushed there by her, next to the dressing table. The fire started from the wooden bed, and the flames were getting closer and closer to her.
If the door is forced open, the woman sitting on the dressing table in front of the bedroom door will very likely be pushed into the flames along with it.
But, if we do nothing and let things continue like this, it's clearly not a solution.
Smashing the window is only a temporary solution before putting out the fire.
The high-pressure water jet slammed into the bed, which was burning the most fiercely inside the house.
Outside
Shen Xiujin didn't dare to waste a single second. Every passing minute weighed heavier on his heart.
"Little one, your brother is fine. I have already known the truth about what happened six years ago.
Three years in prison, that was my fault.
As long as you come out, I'll go to prison for three years.
As long as you are happy, you come out, and I will immediately go to jail.
"Come out, will you"
The woman behind the door leaned against it, a smirk playing on her lips. Such irony. All those past events that had destroyed her life, everything she held dear, he was oblivious to it all...
The man outside dared not strike, fearing that if he broke down the door, she might be caught in the flames along with him.
A high-pressure water jet, smashing through the window, surged into the bedroom.
Flames, are being extinguished.
The woman, however, seemed to react. Clothes from the cabinet were strewn across the dressing table, and the lighter in her hand... just needed a spark... who knows what could happen.
The firefighters immediately informed Shen Xiujin of the situation.
The man was completely panicked:
"Little one, stop! You can't get hurt, I love you, Jian Tong!" As he spoke, he and Shen Er together, with all their might, rammed towards the bedroom door.
This impact, must be successful!
The flames in the bedroom have been mostly extinguished.
We can't give that woman another chance to ignite. This hit, all or nothing.
It must succeed.
Bang—
The door was suddenly burst open, and the man rushed in, reaching out to grab the woman who had fallen to the ground. He held her tightly in his arms, his whole body trembling at this moment:
"Little one, little one, it's alright, it's alright."
Thank God, thank the Bodhisattva, thank all the gods and Buddhas!
From now on, he Shen Xiuqin eats vegetarian food every day.
The atheist Shen Xiujin was unable to contain his excitement at this moment.
Everything returns to peace.
Shen Er's face changed drastically: "Boss!"
I saw the sturdy, muscular man collapse with a resounding thud, falling unknowingly into the midst of utter chaos.
The woman beside him was also startled and instinctively reached out her hand.
Shen Er ran over, pushing past the woman, and while holding his phone, called out: "Young Master Bai, Boss he suddenly fainted."
"Mhm, I'll drive him to the hospital right now."
Shen Er single-handedly struggled to lift Shen Xiu Jin, luckily two firefighters came out to help.
Shen Er suddenly stopped: "Madam, please don't do anything foolish." As he spoke, he picked up his phone and called Shen San: "Come up here and protect your wife's safety."
This is a way of controlling her freedom.
But this time, the woman stood her ground, clenching her fists, watching as Shen Er carried the man away. Her gaze never left him from start to finish.
The complexity in her eyes, pain and hurt beyond words. Finally, the person was gone, she closed her eyes.
From now on, I will not see or hear, I will not love or hate.
May past events simply fade away with smoke...that would be the best ending.
She, however, knew that her only resistance was to guard herself, remaining unharmed.ing a girl takes time and effort. Jian Tong, let me tell you, this is the first time I've seriously pursued a girl."If I do poorly, if I don't do well, if you're not satisfied with what I do, you'll h...
