Chapter 954 - 997: Blood Is Thicker Than Water
Nan Jinning said that it was Ye Shan who betrayed Anxin and the others for five million, and now Anxin and my mother-in-law have been taken to Africa on a smuggler’s ship, while Ling Yueyue was locked up in a secretive place by Xue Rong.
After getting the information from Nan Jinning, Huo Junmo went to rescue Ling Yueyue, and I went to save Anxin.
There are a lot of smuggler’s ships every day, and they are very secretive. To be cautious, they even switched ships halfway, so tracing them was quite challenging.
After searching for a week, we finally locked onto our target, and to get Anxin out as soon as possible, I directly took a helicopter to the destination.
Finally, I successfully rescued them from Africa!
In order to let them completely forget the past and stay away from everything related to Ye Shan, I bought a two-bedroom apartment for my mother-in-law and hired a reliable servant to care for her so that Anxin could rest easy at home while nurturing her pregnancy.
After this incident, Anxin and I finally enjoyed a few months of happiness. During these months, our family of three really lived happily.
Every morning, I get up on time with Xiao Bai for a morning run. After Anxin wakes up and we finish breakfast, Anxin and I go to the company together. She is almost inseparable from me, accompanying me every moment, and I really enjoy these days with her.
Until Anxin was seven months pregnant, the woman who had disappeared from my life for twenty-five years suddenly appeared, the woman I only called "mom" once, suddenly appeared again after twenty-five years.
That day at the company, I suddenly received a text message from an unknown number. The message said that Anxin and the old man were meeting at a teahouse, and she sent me the address along with the name of the private room.
I was afraid the old man would harm Anxin, so I quickly rushed over and brought Anxin back.
After ensuring Anxin was safe, I asked Pete to find out who sent the text! The result was shocking; it was that woman.
That woman disappeared for twenty-five years, and suddenly appeared to disrupt my relationship with the old man. I knew her intentions were not pure, so I had someone investigate her reasons for returning.
Sure enough, it turned out that twenty-five years ago, she had already remarried, and had a daughter with that man, who is my half-sister.
My sister was diagnosed with hereditary leukemia a few years ago, and her husband died from the disease! She sold off everything her husband left to treat her daughter’s illness, but unfortunately, they searched all over the city they lived in and couldn’t find a suitable bone marrow. So they thought of me, hoping my bone marrow would match her daughter and save her.
Ha...
Seeing how much she loved her daughter, almost to the point of giving her life, my heart hurts terribly!
Why? We both came from her body, yet she could ignore me, leave me, but love this daughter to the bone?
Why? I don’t understand, really don’t understand? We are both her flesh and blood, but her attitude towards us is completely different.
If it wasn’t for her daughter’s need for suitable bone marrow, she would never appear before me again in this lifetime.
Thinking about this, I just find it ironic, laughable.
Even though I never had feelings for her all along, I don’t know why, when she came back, I still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that in her heart, I, her son, might have a bit of significance. Hoping she would be sincerely good to me, even if my place in her heart isn’t as heavy as her daughter, as long as I have a tiny piece of her heart, I’d be satisfied.
This time she returned, I didn’t expect her to make up for the lack of maternal love over the years, but I did hope she would have a little guilt and tenderness for me.
So, despite knowing her reason for returning, I still choose to remain indifferent, pretending not to know. I hope one day she will come to realize that she owes me motherly love.
Although my attitude towards her is cold-eyed, my heart has never been indifferent.
Every time I clearly know she’s acting, know she’s deliberately trying to gain my sympathy, I still keep silent, let her be, wanting to see how long she can keep up the act.
She faints time and again for her precious daughter outside my company door, faints in the snow! But she remains steadfast, as soon as she wakes up, she waits outside my company door every day, regardless of the storm, unchanged by the weather.
Her deliberate persistence even caused Anxin to doubt her. Following Anxin’s suggestion, I went with the flow, letting her return home.
No matter how Xiao Bai made things difficult for her, no matter how the servants at home treated her, I remained unmoved. I hope she can come to understand my importance to her as a son through all these challenges. Only I can give her the life she wants.
While hoping she would have an epiphany and repent, I secretly sent people to search for a bone marrow match for Qin Muyao.
As long as she’s willing to lower her head, admits she was wrong all these years, sincerely acknowledges me as her son, I will unhesitatingly save her beloved daughter!
I also don’t know why she was so cruel to me before, yet I still have a sliver of hope for her, hoping to reunite with her.
Perhaps this is the innate bond children have with their parents! This is what is meant by blood being thicker than water!
Though I’ve given her so many chances, she doesn’t appreciate them at all, repeatedly disappointing me, even conspiring with Qin Muyao to put sleeping pills in ********.
Already aware of her intentions, I had the butler use flour to swap out the sleeping pills in her hand for a day.
[PS: More updates coming later!]
She thought we had all taken her sleeping pills, but we had actually taken flour.
After dinner, we returned to our rooms and pretended to sleep! When she was drawing blood, we could completely feel it! I also knew what her purpose was! She was just checking whose bone marrow would match Qin Muyao’s.
However, I didn’t expect her greed, she not only drew blood from me and Xiao Bai, she even drew blood from Anxin, who has no blood relationship with her.
Anxin is pregnant, even if they found a match, would they want Anxin to save Qin Muyao?
Seeing her and Qin Muyao’s actions, I am truly disheartened.
For Qin Muyao, she really disregards everything, even if Anxin is pregnant with her biological grandson, she doesn’t care at all.
