Nie Langyuan was reluctantly convinced, and Yun Zhi Yue couldn't help but smile inwardly, grateful to have someone reliable at home. If both of her younger brothers were like Yun Shijiu, who relied solely on instinct and never cleaned up after himself, she would have to live a much harder life.
"Is Nie Xi's illness cured?" Nie Zhui asked Yue Shi, glancing over.
Yue Shi put down the complex report that looked like a tangled code and replied seriously, "Of course not. I have only managed to control the symptoms; the underlying issues are still decaying. However, it is possible to treat him. I wonder if his father, Nie Xian Sheng, would be willing to donate some bone marrow cells for my research. Perhaps we could completely cure your child."
Both Yun Zhi Yue and Nie Xi's expressions turned strange. What was this about?
Nie Zhui didn't need to refuse verbally; there was someone in the car to speak for him.
Nie Langyuan looked puzzled and said, "You do realize that Nie Xi is not my brother's biological son? What use would my brother's bone marrow be?"
Yue Shi maintained his usual demeanor and replied, "Who says that a bone marrow transplant must come from a close relative? Medicine must break through barriers and turn the impossible into possible; that is the essence of research. Of course, if you know where Nie Xi's biological relatives are, I would be willing to discuss this in person. If not, then Nie Xi's closest relative is only Nie Xian Sheng. As a father, isn't it his duty to sacrifice for his son? It’s perfectly reasonable for me to ask for bone marrow."
Yun Shijiu immediately perked up and fanned the flames, saying, "Sister, if you can remain indifferent to a son you've raised for twenty years, what kind of cold-blooded person would that make you? If family ties are so thin, how will he treat his own woman in the future? You better keep your eyes peeled when looking for a brother-in-law; stepping into a fire pit wouldn't be good."
Nie Zhui remained unfazed and did not impulsively agree to anything despite Yun Shijiu's sarcastic remarks. "It doesn't necessarily have to be a close relative; I can find someone else willing to donate bone marrow."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes flickered slightly. The bond between siblings allowed them to understand that Yue Shi had intentionally brought this up for a reason. She sighed dramatically and said, "If it's research we're talking about, it will certainly take time. Can Nie Xi afford to wait? Since he isn't your biological son, he must have other parents—where did you find him?"
Nie Zhui silently regarded Yun Zhi Yue before suddenly pulling her forcefully into his embrace. "Are you looking for his parents or is he?"
Yun Zhi Yue steadied herself against Nie Zhui's chest and countered, "What difference does it make? I just want Nie Xi to live. Who his parents are—is that something we can't discuss? Are you hiding something?"
Nie Zhui fixed his gaze on her icy expression and responded with another question. "If I were hiding something, would you help me or him?"
Yun Zhi Yue smiled sweetly and said, "This is a society governed by law; mistakes come with consequences. Naturally, I stand on this side. So then, who are his parents?"
Nie Zhui toyed with Yun Zhi Yue's soft face and said, "I need an heir. If you marry me and we have children, I will send Nie Xi away; otherwise, he can only remain part of the Nie Family."
Nie Xi looked troubled and said, "Sister, please don't pressure Father. Life is precious no matter how long it lasts. I am grateful for the material support I have received from the Nie Family over these twenty years.
In the time I have left, I want to do my part and try to leave a grandchild to inherit the Nie Family, as a way to repay the kindness I've been shown during my upbringing. Perhaps I already have a child, right?"
"What do you mean by that?!" Nie Langyuan exclaimed, shocked and unable to maintain his composure. Had the two of them really been intimate?
Feeling as if her waist might snap under Nie Zhui's grip, Yun Zhi Yue gritted her teeth. This little rascal claimed he would cooperate, but was this how he chose to cooperate with her?
Did he want everyone to know they had been together?
