Chapter 108: Chapter 105: Can’t Compare

Tian Yaruo deliberately found Lu Yuan, who works in the Red Cross hematopoietic stem cell donation office, to accompany her.

To the outside world, Li Si was declared as a volunteer. Aside from her maternal family knowing the truth, everyone else was completely kept in the dark.

"What’s there to be upset about!" Li Si said she wasn’t upset, but she still felt a little uneasy inside. However, since she had decided to come here, it was also to set her own heart at ease. So all these feelings were fleeting, and she didn’t want to dwell on them!

Tian Yaruo’s eyes reddened as she spoke, "Once your health improves, I’ll take good care of you here—let’s visit a few places and have some fun, okay?"

That day, she had overheard Li Si and her elder brother talking. It turned out that this child especially wanted to travel with her mother, visit many places, and take countless photos!

Such an ordinary wish—if it were the wish of a little child, everyone would understand. But Li Si was already 20 years old, and still had such a simple wish. Just thinking about it made Tian Yaruo’s heart ache terribly! Her feelings of guilt toward her deepened!

Li Si smiled, "Alright!" Whether in her past life or this one, this had always been a long-held desire in her heart. To be able to fulfill it soon was nice.

"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking on the door rang out. Li Si flashed a delighted smile—it must be Brother Leng coming back.

Tian Yaruo watched anxiously as Li Si happily went to answer the door. What exactly was the relationship between this child and that man named Leng?

At this moment, she couldn’t say much!

Leng Mochen gave Tian Yaruo a calm glance and nodded, a greeting of sorts.

He directly sat down on the sofa while Li Si walked in gleefully, holding the spoils of war that Jiang Feng had been sent to buy—Beijing roast duck.

Tian Yaruo’s face stiffened slightly, "Tiantian, eating such greasy food doesn’t seem appropriate right now. The surgery is just around the corner!"

Li Si froze, not expecting her to say such a thing. Before she had a chance to respond, Leng Mochen spoke coolly from the other side, "Eating a little won’t hurt."

"Oh! I’ll be leaving now. Tiantian, I’ll come see you again when I have time!" Tian Yaruo picked up her bag and left the room with an unhappy expression.

Li Si stared at her hurriedly retreating silhouette for a long while before coming back to herself, "Brother, do you think she’s upset?"

"Silly girl, don’t overthink it! As long as you’re happy, that’s what matters. Eat while it’s hot!"

Li Si suddenly lost her previous enthusiasm for eating roast duck. She said dejectedly, "Brother, do you think I’m asking for too much?"

Yearning for maternal love while fearing harm—a deeply conflicted mindset.

Leng Mochen gently smoothed her long hair, his eyes flickering, "What you’re feeling is perfectly normal. How about taking a walk outside later to clear your mind?"

Li Si nodded, "Alright, going out for a walk sounds good! By the way, Brother, have you been back home?"

Since accompanying her from North City to Beijing, Leng Mochen had only gone out occasionally. Unless Tian Yaruo came by, he spent almost all his time by her side.

Leng Mochen shook his head, "Not this time. Anyway, in a few days, we’ll be heading back to North City! Maybe next time."

At the thought of the Leng Family, his expression grew much more serious. Things had gone exactly as he anticipated. His uncle’s son, Leng Mohao, was very guarded against him, afraid that his recovery would threaten the position he now held. Hence, returning in such a high-profile manner at this moment was not the best timing.

At the Tian Family home, Tian Yaruo didn’t visit Kesong in the hospital but went directly to her mother’s house.

Coincidentally, her elder sister, Tian Yaru, was also there, chatting with their mother.

"What’s the matter with you, little sister? I heard that the child’s high-resolution matching had ten out of ten loci aligned. Why are you still not happy?" Tian Yaru asked curiously.

The elderly lady leaned in with concern, "My dear daughter, who’s upset you?"

Tian Yaruo rubbed her forehead with her hand, "Mom, Sister, do you think I was wrong to say this? That man, her Brother Leng, bought her roast duck. I just said that eating greasy food didn’t seem appropriate right now. And what happened? Tiantian didn’t even say anything, but the man immediately responded sarcastically, saying eating a little wouldn’t hurt!"

The elderly lady thought for a moment and said soothingly, "The surgery is just around the corner. If there’s something you find unpleasant, just put up with it for now! Is this even worth getting upset over?"

"Exactly, little sister. You really need to change this personality of yours. Acting this way, if that child gets offended and refuses the transplant, won’t you regret it?"

Tian Yaru lightly patted her on the shoulder from behind, "Take me as an example. Just now, I told Mom that the child really annoyed me, but I didn’t go out of my way to cause trouble for her. Why? Isn’t it all for the sake of Kesong completing the bone marrow transplant smoothly? Otherwise, with my temperament, why would I tolerate her? At best, she’s just a volunteer we spent some money to hire to provide the bone marrow!"

Tian Yaruo felt uncomfortable at hearing this and, recalling what Li Si had learned from her, couldn’t help but question, "Sister, I didn’t think about this until you brought it up! Why did you go to Tiantian’s school to find her? Isn’t that inappropriate? Regardless of the reason, you’re still her aunt!"

Tian Yaru sneered contemptuously, letting out a cold laugh, "Oh, please! Since when did I have such an unpresentable niece? You haven’t seen her paternal relatives—they’re practically the epitome of greed. This time, I’ve gained some insight. Just tossing 300,000 yuan their way—problem solved in an instant. Otherwise, do you really think that child would willingly donate her bone marrow?"

"Sister, that’s not fair. That child agreed to donate her bone marrow purely out of kindness. That 300,000 yuan didn’t even end up in her hands! What you’re saying isn’t right. I’ve done my best to treat your Weiwei well!" Tian Yaruo felt deeply offended. How could her sister speak so poorly of Tiantian? After all, they were blood relatives!

Tian Yaru’s face darkened in displeasure, "Little sister, what’s wrong with you today? She’s just a rural girl. How could she compare to our Weiwei? Is that even possible? Our Weiwei studied abroad, earned a master’s degree, is beautiful, and has a good family background! What does that girl have? She attends some third-rate university and is probably just wasting her time there!"

"You..." Hearing her say such things made Tian Yaruo’s heart ache. Even if Li Si hadn’t grown up by her side, she was still her child. What right did her sister have to say such things!

The elderly lady impatiently waved her hands, "Enough! Are the two of you not adults? Why are you bickering like this? No matter her past, that child is a great benefactor for saving our Kesong this time. Yaru, you should stop viewing her with prejudice—since she came, she’s doing us a favor; Yaruo, don’t get angry with your sister. She’s been like this for years. Also, you should stop running around so much and spend more time with Kesong. Your Xiao Yan just called to ask about you!"

Tian Yaruo hurriedly took her phone out of her bag, "Oh no, the battery must’ve died and it shut off automatically!"

"Then quickly use our home phone to call him back and make sure nothing’s wrong!" The elderly lady anxiously urged. This rare glimmer of hope was too precious—nothing could afford to go wrong!
