Chapter 753: Leave It to Me
"Zhe, you know the situation at home; we really don't have the ability, otherwise we wouldn't have thought of Xiao Min." The mother-in-law said while crying.
She tried to move Zhao Zhe with tears, but it was all in vain; for the sake of his son, Zhao Zhe was completely unmoved.
"If the child's parents aren't a match, then it's fate." Zhao Zhe was not moved by the tears, he said coldly, "Dragging my son to do a matching test, which bastard came up with that idea?"
"Zhao Zhe, who are you cursing!" Zhao Zhe's ex-wife said angrily, "Xiao Min is your son, but he's also my son! My brother said, if Xiao Min's health is affected, he will support Xiao Min in the future!"
"Support my son? No need." Zhao Zhe said, "A father's match is definitely more suitable. Don't talk to me about him being old, his kidneys being bad, or things like that. I am a Urology Department Doctor, you can't fool me."
"Your brother isn't willing to donate his own kidney, so he sets his sights on my son. Put your hand on your conscience, are you even a mother!"
"How am I not! In the future, our family will support the child, when he grows up..." Zhao Zhe's former father-in-law still wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhe halfway through.
"My son has hands and feet, he can support himself, he doesn't need you."
Zhao Zhe fought back tit-for-tat; no matter what the ex-wife's family said, he retorted forcefully.
Compared to the weak pushover and incompetent Attending Physician in Ji Xiang's impression, Zhao Zhe seemed like a different person.
"How can you be like this! The child, I also..."
"You better shut up quickly." Zhao Zhe interrupted his ex-wife, "I'm too lazy to talk about the old mess. Since you are being so excessive, thinking about my son's kidney five years after the divorce, then let's have a good talk about it."
"What did you say back then? Something about how after leaving me you'd find a listed company executive to marry within minutes and live a life like a princess, saying I was spineless and didn't deserve you at all. You said that, didn't you?"
Zhao Zhe's ex-wife was speechless for a moment.
"If you're so capable, have your listed company executive boyfriend solve the problem. Why don't you go cut his kidney out."
"Do you think I don't know that after you gave birth, you were still messing around with your first love? At the time, it was for the sake of the child, so I didn't say anything. You promised me time and again, but in the end, you still ran off with him."
"In all these years, have you come back to see the child? Have you paid any child support? I don't want to be entangled with you, don't you have any self-awareness? You just got back and you're already taking the child to do a matching test. A person like you is worthy of being a mother?"
"Your eyes only see your brother, saying he is the future of the Fan family, the hope of the Fan family. Does your family have a throne to inherit?"
"Even if there were a throne to inherit, I, Zhao Zhe, wouldn't care for it. The child's custody is in my hands. Whoever wants to touch a single hair on the child, step over my dead body! Otherwise, keep dreaming!"
Zhao Zhe slapped the table, giving the group of in-laws opposite a fright.
"I've said so much nonsense out of past sentiment, now, all of you get out!"
"Zhao Zhe, don't go too far!" Zhao Zhe's ex-wife pointed at his nose and cursed.
But this time Zhao Zhe was different from before; he didn't retreat, nor did he apologize, but instead met his ex-wife's gaze coldly.
"I've finished speaking. If you want to go to court, I'll accompany you. It doesn't matter how many years it takes." Zhao Zhe said.
Ji Xiang stepped forward, holding his phone.
"Zhao Ge, the largest law firm in the Imperial Capital has my father's exclusive lawyer. Leave the matter of finding a lawyer to me."
Ji Xiang's words gave Zhao Zhe endless confidence.
"Whose brat are you? Get lost!"
"Whose child I am has nothing to do with you, this isn't how you do things." Ji Xiang said calmly, "I'll put it this way: if you want to go to court, we will accompany you to the end."
The ex-wife's family looked at each other in dismay.
"Your whole family, you're really disgusting!" Zhao Zhe scanned the ex-wife's family and cursed calmly, "As parents, you won't donate organs to your own family, you can't bear to take a knife yourself and lose a kidney, yet you want to target my son. Are you even human?"
"Zhe, it's not that we can't bear it, nor are we afraid of taking that knife, but I still have to support my family. If I really cut out a kidney, I won't be able to work in the future. Who will support my whole family?" Zhao Zhe's former brother-in-law said sheepishly.
"You have to support your family, so you cut my son's kidney? What kind of logic is that?"
Zhao Zhe kicked the coffee table with a bang, scaring the people opposite.
"I'll lay it out here: wanting Xiao Min to donate is impossible!" Zhao Zhe raised his voice, "Get lost, I'm too lazy to talk to you black-hearted people."
"You..."
Zhao Zhe didn't bother with more nonsense; he picked up his phone and called the police directly.
The ex-wife's family stood up cursing and swearing; some threatened Zhao Zhe, some cried, and some tried to talk to the child, but were chased away by Zhao Zhe after only a few words.
They seemed to know they were in the wrong and didn't dare to make a move. After being chased out the door, they cursed loudly in impotent rage.
Slamming the door shut, the determined expression on Zhao Zhe's face gradually faded. He comforted the child with gentle words, sent the child to sleep, spoke a few words to his parents, and sat back on the sofa alone.
At this moment, Zhao Zhe was the Zhao Zhe that Ji Xiang knew.
He was full of sorrow, blankly lit a cigarette, and smoked it in deep distress.
"Zhao Ge, what are you thinking about?" Ji Xiang asked.
"I'm not afraid of a thief stealing, I'm afraid of a thief coveting."
So that was it. Ji Xiang smiled, "These are all small matters."
"Small matters?" Zhao Zhe looked up at Ji Xiang and smiled bitterly.
"How about this, leave it to me." Ji Xiang said, "Uncle and Auntie have both retired, right?"
"Retired."
"Move to the Provincial Hospital city. I'll find the house, and don't worry about school districts or anything else. Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems."
"!!!"
"Moving to the Provincial Hospital city is a step you'll have to take sooner or later. Your family living together is also good for the child's mental health."
"Xiao Ji, the house in the Provincial Hospital city..." Zhao Zhe was full of sorrow.
"Consider it a loan from me, no interest. Just pay me back a little every month, the amount doesn't matter." Ji Xiang said with a smile, "What do you think, Zhao Ge?"
Zhao Zhe and Ji Xiang were already very familiar with each other.
In the last two months or so, the SCI Thesis that Ji Xiang had casually given away would be worth at least a million or more if it were in the hands of a merchant.
Yet he hadn't seen Ji Xiang show any sign of heartache.
Ji Xiang wasn't short of money, or rather, Ji Xiang's family wasn't short of money.
Zhao Zhe didn't think Ji Xiang was bragging just now when he mentioned the best law firm and the best lawyers in the Imperial Capital.
But...
Forget it, he would just slowly repay the favors he owed; he couldn't let the child live in fear.
If, because of a momentary lapse in judgment on my part, the child were rashly taken away and underwent a Kidney Transplantation, I fear I would live the rest of my life in regret.
"Xiao Ji, then I won't stand on ceremony."
