Chapter 74: Chu Li Goes for a Matching Test

~8 min read 1,484 words

Qin Xingwan returned to the hospital.

The matching test was unsuccessful, and she was devastated, but upon seeing Ping'an, she still forced a smile.

Wen Ping'an was exceptionally clingy toward Qin Xingwan.

Seeing Qin Xingwan, he immediately called out for "Mommy" in a milky voice, wanting her to hold him.

Qin Xingwan kissed his forehead, held him in her arms, and couldn't help but ask with a choked voice, "Little Ping'an, is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"

Wen Ping'an stood up and kissed Qin Xingwan's cheek, comforting her, "Mommy, I'm very well."

He had grown up in the hospital and had already treated these matters as a habit.

"Doctor Uncle said I am the bravest child." He was very proud.

Qin Xingwan wanted to cry again.

She held Wen Ping'an, softly humming a lullaby to coax him to sleep.

Once Wen Ping'an fell asleep, she held his hand, which had an indwelling needle in it, and wept uncontrollably.

Ping'an, what must Mommy do to save you?

Outside the hospital room.

Chu Li had seen everything; after driving Cheng Mingzhu away, he hadn't left immediately, but instead, as if guided by some strange impulse, had come here.

Seeing her cry, his heart felt pained as well.

Clearly, he should hate her.

Hate her for saying she liked him when she clearly had someone else she loved.

Hate her for returning to Wen Lvzhong's side without hesitation after he came back.

Hate her for wanting to divorce him for the sake of the child.

Yet he still couldn't control himself from coming to see her, like a form of self-torture.

Assistant Wu spoke in a low voice about Wen Ping'an's condition, "The child even went into the emergency room today. The doctor said we must find a suitable bone marrow as soon as possible; otherwise, even if a match is found later, the child's body will not be able to withstand the risks of the surgery."

Chu Li's eyes were dark and heavy; if something happened to Wen Ping'an, she would never be happy again in this lifetime.

He asked in a flat voice, "What about her matching results?"

Assistant Wu shook his head, "Neither the Madam nor Mr. Fang are a match."

In truth, he had also secretly taken the test, but the results hadn't come out yet.

The probability of a stranger being a successful match was too small.

Wen Ping'an's fate was basically already sealed.

Poor child.

Chu Li turned and left, his leather shoes clicking on the floor with a sense of loneliness.

"Find a doctor and bring them here," he ordered.

Assistant Wu quickly understood Chu Li's meaning and hurried to carry it out.

President Chu was just someone whose words contradicted his true feelings.

He clearly cared about the Madam and also cared about that child, yet he deliberately put on an icy front and said annoying things.

Not only did he despise this kind of President Chu.

Even Chu Li himself despised himself like this; he clearly hadn't intended to get involved in this matter, so why had he gone to get tested...

Qin Xingwan was searching online for leukemia bone marrow matching.

In fact, family members had the highest probability of matching.

She didn't even know when Wen Lvzhong had entered.

"Actually, there is another way," Wen Lvzhong said after careful consideration.

Qin Xingwan looked up at him, her eye sockets red, "What way?"

Wen Lvzhong hesitated, finding it somewhat difficult to speak.

"As long as I can save Ping'an, I am willing to do anything."

"Family members have the highest probability of a successful match; we could have another child."

Wen Lvzhong said this with great difficulty.

Because he was certain that Qin Xingwan did not love him.

Just as she had said, she was only here for the child.

"No," Qin Xingwan refused without a second thought.

She clenched her fingers, realizing she had refused too quickly, and wanted to explain,

but Wen Lvzhong had already nodded in understanding, "I know it's difficult for you."

Qin Xingwan pursed her lips; she didn't know how to say it.

I'm afraid that in Wen Lvzhong's eyes, her concern for Ping'an was all fake.

Otherwise, why would she be unwilling to have a child with him?

She thought for a few seconds before saying, "I will go to the Qin Family and have them come for testing."

The Qin Family members were also Ping'an's family; perhaps there would be a suitable match.

Wen Lvzhong was all gentleness, "Sorry for the trouble."

Qin Xingwan felt awkward, and it wasn't until she was out of the hospital room that she let out a heavy sigh.

How did things end up at this point?

But there was no time for her to overthink things, so she went to the Qin Family.

Actually, she could have asked Grandmother to step in, but Grandmother was old, and she didn't want Grandmother to be shocked.

After all, it is not yet known whether Wen Ping'an's illness can be cured.

If it cannot be cured, it will be another heavy blow for Grandma.

The Qin Family.

Qin Jianguo and Lady Qin were both at home; hearing Qin Xingwan's words, they were both very shocked.

Qin Jianguo even smashed a cup directly, cursing Qin Xingwan for having no sense of shame.

To actually have a child out of wedlock, and at the age of twenty, no less.

Lady Qin also scolded her incessantly: "You are simply corrupting public morals. I foolishly thought that since you grew up by Grandma's side, you would understand what it means to keep yourself chaste, but in the end, you..."

"No wonder Chu Li suddenly agreed to the marriage alliance with the Cheng Family; so it was because you did such a scandalous thing."

"It is truly disgraceful."

Qin Xingwan listened quietly to their accusations; for the sake of Ping'an, she could endure it.

In the end, she said: "I accept whatever you say, but Ping'an is your grandson; he has fallen ill, and I hope you can help him."

"What grandson? We do not acknowledge him." Qin Jianguo was extremely disgusted.

He ordered the servants to drive Qin Xingwan out.

Qin Xingwan gritted her teeth, "Grandma..."

"You dare to tell Grandma?" Lady Qin had long since seen through her thoughts.

It was absolutely impossible for Qin Xingwan to disturb Grandma with such a matter.

Qin Xingwan fell silent; Lady Qin truly understood her well.

She was driven out.

No matter how she pleaded or spoke softly, it was useless.

Qin Jianguo and his wife refused to see her.

Just as she was preparing to leave, a servant suddenly came out to relay a message.

"Madam says that if you are willing to kneel here for the night and reflect deeply on your mistakes, Madam can consider going to the Yiyuan."

Qin Xingwan's footsteps paused.

The hope was slim, but she did not want to give up.

She looked up at the second floor, where there were faint silhouettes in the room.

She knew that was Qin Yun Shu, and she guessed this was also Qin Yun Shu's idea.

However, she had requests for everyone in the Qin Family.

Therefore, she knelt straight down facing the main gate.

Upstairs.

Lady Qin felt very vindicated; she had long since lost any mother-daughter affection for Qin Xingwan, and all that remained was resentment.

She resented her for not showing consideration for family ties and for sending her only son out of the country.

This time, it was Qin Xingwan's turn to taste those feelings.

Qin Yun Shu was hiding nearby, and she also felt delighted in her heart.

"Does Big Sister really have a child?" She was not very surprised.

Because Cheng Mingzhu had already told her.

She just did not expect that Qin Xingwan would obediently listen and kneel for the sake of the child.

"Shameless." Lady Qin cursed in a low voice, "She must have learned it from that old hag; having been a widow for over twenty years, could she really endure the loneliness?"

"Otherwise, how would she have hooked up with Old Master Chu? If the upper beam is crooked, the lower ones will be askew."

She did not like Qin Nainai, and her words were very vicious and mean.

Qin Yun Shu was the same; Grandma was too biased.

"Let her kneel." She said indifferently, and pulled the curtains shut.

Qin Xingwan, I have said it before, one day I will bring Brother back and drive you out of this home.

Finally, this day is about to come.

Lady Qin patted Qin Yun Shu on the shoulder, "Do not get involved in this matter; even if Chu Li asks, you must say you do not know."

"I do not know if Chu Li still has feelings for her, but in any case, caution is best."

"I understand, Mom."
