"What kind of look is that? Am I that unreasonable?" Gu Yunting put a piece of meat into her mouth.
Ye Wan: "..."
You used to be quite unreasonable.
After dinner, the two of them returned to the Gu residence together.
...
Before sleeping, Ye Wan received a call from Jiang Mi. Jiang Mi despairingly informed her that Jiang Jingxiu and Mian Mian's compatibility test had failed.
Ye Wan was also a little surprised. Normally, the compatibility success rate between a child and their parents or relatives is quite high. Why would Mian Mian's test also fail completely?
"Don't worry yet, we'll find another way."
Ye Wan comforted her, but Jiang Mi was clearly devastated by the news. She was on the verge of collapse. Mian Mian was her life. Her kidney disease had finally been cured, and she thought life finally held hope. Who knew she would then contract such a terrible illness? If she couldn't have surgery, she would die.
"There's no way, no way... Ye Wan, thank you." Jiang Mi hung up the phone after speaking.
Ye Wan frowned and sat on the bed, knowing that Jiang Mi must be very upset right now. She sent her a message, telling her not to worry and that they would definitely find a match.
At this moment, Jiang Mi remembered what the doctor had said: if they couldn't find a match, she could have another child with the child's father. The newborn's umbilical cord blood could save the child.
Having another child... that was simply impossible! Jiang Jingxiu wouldn't agree, and he didn't even know about Mian Mian's existence.
But for Mian Mian, no matter how difficult it was, she had to try!
...
Gu Yunting came in and saw Ye Wan staring blankly by the bed. He walked over and asked, "What are you thinking about so intently?"
"Uh... I wasn't thinking about anything. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep," Ye Wan immediately turned off the light and burrowed into the covers.
Gu Yunting also lay down and pulled her into his blanket, then slept soundly.
Ye Wan: "..."
...
The next day, Ye Wan and Jiang Yan both returned to school. Jiang Yan looked unwell, and Ye Wan was very worried about her. As she urged Jiang Yan to go back and rest, the two of them saw Ning Xin.
Upon meeting again, Ye Wan and Jiang Yan felt somewhat awkward. After all, they had watched Ning Xin being defiled by those two men with their own eyes. However, at the time, they were also powerless and unable to save her.
Ning Xin walked over when she saw them and apologized in a low voice, "Ye Wan, Jiang Yan, I know I did something wrong, and I have been punished. I was... Can you forgive my foolishness this time? I was truly deceived by Jiang Lingyu."
"Ning Xin, let the past be the past. Don't be too sad. You'll be late for class, let's go in."
After speaking, Jiang Yan pulled Ye Wan towards the classroom. Ning Xin still followed behind them. However, after entering the classroom, Ye Wan and Jiang Yan found their usual seats and did not leave a place for Ning Xin. Ning Xin could only find a seat elsewhere.
The classmates did not notice this detail. In the past, Ye Wan and Jiang Yan were like conjoined twins, and Ning Xin only sat with them occasionally.
As Ning Xin sat down, her expression became extremely grim the moment she lowered her head. Her hands were clenched into fists. She had already humbled herself to apologize to them, yet they still excluded her. Clearly, this time, only she was hurt; they were both unharmed!
Tears couldn't help but well up. To avoid being noticed, she quickly wiped them away with her hand, trying her best to suppress her crying.
Jiang Yan told Ye Wan that the apartment had been rented, and she had paid three years' rent yesterday. By then, they would have already graduated.
