Chapter 43.1
Last of the bonus chapters~
This social media operation by Anran was very well-received by the netizens. They believed in the news, and have begun to turn against Jian Xingsui. Jian Xingsuis Weibo was also full of people from all walks of life. There were those who support him, and of course there are those who insult and oppose him.
[At least Ranran is back to his home now.]
[Doesnt Jian Xingsui feel like a counterfeit?]
[He grows up in a wealthy family like the Jians, but his singing and dancing are not as good as Ranrans.]
[Fortunately, he was eliminated. Lets kick him out of the entertainment circle.]
Among the objections, some fans were still struggling to control the public opinion:
[Its interesting that you all suddenly believed in these unverified rumors.]
[I believe in Suisuis character, he would not do such a thing.]
[The truth of the matter hasnt fully come out yet, I believe him.]
Weibo once again had turned into a warzone. But in reality, Jian Xingsui was too busy to care about the turmoil on the Internet.
In fact, Zhang Xiangyangs condition has only worsened. Zhang Xia shed tears every day, but Zhang Xiangyangs kidney donor still wasnt found.
Jian Xingsui came in from the outside carrying a lunch box, and saw Zhang Xia wiping her swollen eyes from dried tears.
Zhang Xia looked up and saw him, crying a bit: Suisui
The couples relationship was very deep, and Jian Xingsui could also see it. Ever since Zhang Xiangyangs incident happened, Zhang Xia has always been in this sad state. She couldnt sleep well, couldnt eat well, and her mind was always full of worries.
Jian Xingsui showed her the lunch box, I cooked something, you and Father can eat some.
Zhang Xia was a little surprised, Suisui, you can cook?
Jian Xingsui didnt have the talent in this area. In fact, his skill was dubious, and more often than not, he produced dark cuisine1the food doesnt taste very good or it looks gross but tastes good. A popular trope in fiction. instead. However, in his last life, he used to study and practice some recipes to make the Jian patriarch happy. While his effort wasnt a success, at least his knowledge was useful now.
Its not cooked very well, I admit. Jian Xingsui opened the lunch box, This is noodle soup. You two cannot eat greasy food, so I only give the soup some light seasonings.
Zhang Xia saw that he took out another lunch box. I also bought a fried chicken meal combo from a shop near home. You havent eaten well these days, so eat some meat and vegetables to supplement your nutrition.
Jian Xingsui staunchly avoided talking about his own food. But Zhang Xia caught this, and asked with a guess inside her heart, What about you? What do you eat?
Jian Xingsui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, Its okay, Ive eaten at home.
The older woman looked at Jian Xingsuis state in surprise. She knew that back at home there was not much groceries left, and Jian Xingsui also shouldnt be able to buy them. But he still meticulously cooks meals for Zhang Xiangyang and herself. In contrast, it seemed like Jian Xingsui only ate to pad his stomach he probably ate something with low nutrition and drinking a lot of plain water to stop his hunger.
Zhang Xia: Did you eat noodles?
Jian Xingsui put the rice into her hand and said, Well, Im still young. I can eat anything.
Feeling the warm lunch box in her hand made her heart also feel hot. She returned the rice to Jian Xingsui, and hurriedly said, Its the opposite. Youre still young, you need more nutrition to sustain your body. Eat this chicken meal you bought!
Jian Xingsui didnt want it, and refused to receive the box.
Ive already eaten at home, and I bought this for you. Jian Xingsui looked at her quietly and smiled, Now that the familys finances are relatively tight, I cant buy you better meals. Just dont dislike it.
Zhang Xia quickly shook her head: Its okay, its okay, I dont dislike it.
She opened the rice and took a bite of the chicken leg. It should be just a cheap rice bowl meal, but the taste was shockingly delicious.
When this accident happened, the person she thought about, wanted to rely on, and trusted was always Anran. In her eyes, she never regarded Jian Xingsui, an outsider, as her own child. but she didnt expect that Jian Xingsui really did everything he could do to care for them. He was very kind and filial.
Even Anran only returned 100,000 yuan out of the 500,000 he was given. He said that because of some accidents, his personal funds were tight, so he couldnt give much for the time being.
Although Jian Xingsui didnt have a lot of savings, he gave everything to them. He was somehow still able to take care of her and Zhang Xiangyang. When they were in trouble, it was Jian Xingsui who was by their side.
You can go back after dinner. Jian Xingsui said, Ill take over the watch duty.
Zhang Xia nodded. She looked at the child with a mix of jumbled emotion guilt, fondness, gratefulness, sadness and said softly, Suisui Thank you.
Jian Xingsui replied in an equally soft voice, Youre welcome, I just do what I should do.
The older womans heart felt hurt. But she quelled it down.
Not long after, she went home in a complicated mood. When she arrived, she saw many neighbors near the alley of her house. The neighbors all knew about Jian Xingsui in her family, so they all gathered around, A-Xia, your familys Anran is now a big star. Hes also very famous on the Internet. But we have seen something recently, saying that Jian Xingsui used to bully Ranran in school, is it true?
Zhang Xia was stunned, Where did you hear about this?
The neighbors clapped their hands and showed Zhang Xia their mobile phones, You dont even use the Internet. Its very lively over there.
Because Zhang Xia was overwhelmed with her husbands affairs, she didnt have the time to go online to read gossip. But after hearing what the neighbors said, she couldnt sit still, so she took it from her neighbors hand and read it.
The hot search on Weibo is still hanging: #JianXingsuiAnran#
She scrolled over the posts with that tag. All of them were reprimanding Jian Xingsui for being arrogant and unreasonable. Some even describe how vicious Jian Xingsui actually was.
The neighbors chattered nearby:
That Suisui, I didnt expect him to be such a vicious child.
Ranran really suffered.
He must not be filial to you, right?
This kind of child, you should cut off contact as soon as possible from him!
Zhang Xia returned the phone, and when she saw the neighbors saying this, she felt an unknown feeling bubbled up to her throat, Dont read the nonsense of people on the Internet. How can Suisui be so bad? Let me tell you, this child is very good. Hes very filial and obedient.
The neighbors listened to Zhang Xias unexpected defence of Jian Xingsui. They were stunned, especially when they remembered that Zhang Xia was the saddest party when Anran had to leave. And wasnt she also the person who resisted Jian Xingsui the most? She made such a fuss back then, to the point that everyone in the neighborhood knew.
But now, they heard Zhang Xias blatant praise towards Jian Xingsui. What had happened to make her get a 180turn like this?
The neighbor curled their lips and said, A-Xia, let me tell you, we didnt talk about this matter like that. In fact, we read it from your familys Anrans Weibo post. You see, yesterday, he posted something that implied he agreed with the original statement denouncing Jian Xingsui. If you say that about Jian Xingsui, could it be that child Anran lied and took the lead in framing Jian Xingsui?
Zhang Xia was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously retorted: Dont talk nonsense, why would Ranran do such a thing?
The neighbor could see that Zhang Xia was angry, so they chose to show her the hard evidence instead, If you still dont believe me, let me show you!
Zhang Xia took the phone and saw Anrans Weibo post on the screen, which was posted yesterday: [Thank you for your attention to my past. But the matter has passed, we all have to move on and look forward to the future.]
This Weibo might looked like he didnt mind anymore because the matter was over. But in fact, wasnt he confirming the rumors that Jian Xingsui bullied others?
It was precisely because of this Weibo that the popularity of this matter has increased a lot, which directly led to todays situation. The scandal hadnt blown over, and the netizens no longer believed the original scandal was because of someone trying to slander Jian Xingsui. If Anran, the person involved, said this, wasnt this an ironclad proof of Jian Xingsuis bullying scandal?
A neighbor said from the side: Im not wrong, am I?
Zhang Xia looked at this Weibo and couldnt speak for a long time.
Regardless, with his reputation, Jian Xingsui wouldnt be able to continue a career in the entertainment industry anymore. You have to find him something else to do!
A different neighbor was a little excited, she wanted to add fuel to this fire, Also, Today I saw that Jian Xingsui was shopping in that convenience store. I told him to be careful. But I was shocked when that kid said hes not afraid of being beaten because of, and I quote, some rando on the Internet. Sheesh, this kid
When Zhang Xia heard it with her own ears, she somehow felt a little stuffy.
The neighbor originally wanted to say more, but after seeing her face and remembering her husbands condition, she had no choice but to shut up.
When Zhang Xia returned home, she felt uncomfortable no matter what she thought, so she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Anrans number.
Beep
After waiting for a while, the phone was picked up.
Anrans voice came from the other side, Mom, whats the matter?
Ranran, whats going on on the Internet? Zhang Xia directly asked him the point, No matter what happened with Jian Xingsui in the past, you cant just let the media say that. Ahhh, how will he work and make money in the future? Can your Father and I have a good time like this? Hes still our child! How can he support himself and us without a good income?
Anran knew that Zhang Xia was only selfishly thinking about herself, so he rebutted, Mom, I didnt release this news. Whats the use of you questioning me? I cant control other people.
Zhang Xia didnt know what to say.
She just thought it was wrong for Anran to do this, but she didnt know how to refute Anrans words, so she could only ask, Ranran, then what happened to the matter I asked you to do? Its been almost half a month, your Fathers condition is getting worse and worse. You know he has kidney failure, he wont last long without a donor. You must try to help him find it.
Compared to Jian Xingsui, Zhang Xia naturally cared more about her husband. But she never expected that Anran never looked for him despite all the years they spent caring for him.
The corners of Anrans mouth curled into a sneer, but his voice didnt reflect that. He looked like he was still trying to comfort her, Im thinking about this too, Mom. Ill definitely do my best, so dont worry.
Zhang Xia could only nod: Thats good, thats good
Anran just hung up the phone.
But Anran didnt expect that because of the neighbors words, Zhang Xia began to feel uncomfortable after he hung up so abruptly. Originally, she had no doubts about Anran, but after seeing Jian Xingsuis devotion with her own eyes she was fully convinced that she had misunderstood him.
The next day.
Zhang Xiangyangs condition obviously deteriorated.
Zhang Xias heart became more and more anxious. She often had a sad face outside the ward. After a long time, she also met with family members in other wards in the corridor and had conversations with them. She wanted to gather as much information about kidney transplant and donor matching.
One of my relatives also had kidney failure, but thankfully, we have found a suitable match. A middle-aged woman from the next ward was sitting next to her, Luckily, I dragged someone to find it.
Zhang Xia was stunned, and quickly asked, Where did you find it?
The woman said in a conspiratorial whisper, With enough money, anything is possible. My nephew can be regarded as a small boss. He spent a lot of energy and connections to find it. He donated to many people on the know-how about it, and finally found a suitable match. Sigh honestly, our family doesnt know how to repay him. He mustve spent a lot of capital.
Zhang Xia murmured, So you can find it by spending money and energy?
It still depends on your luck, but the odds become much better if you spend them, yes. I remember that you havent tried to match many people, you cant just wait passively like this! But the middle-aged woman sighed when she remembered something crucial, However, your familys financial conditions are relatively difficult so I know its an uphill battle for you.
Hearing it, Zhang Xias heart sank.
At first she thought that Anran just hadnt found an appropriate match, because it was difficult. But how could the Jian family compare with ordinary small bosses? Despite having such a good connection, Anran still couldnt find it.
Just as she was thinking, her cell phone vibrated, it was a message from Anran: [Mom, Dad has been in the hospital for so long. I want to take some time to come and see him today, can you send me the address?]
Mrs. Zhang was now angry, and replied with vitriol: [Youre so busy, do you still have time to see him? I think its better for you to forget it.]
After sending the message, Mrs. Zhang covered her lips, and the tears in her eyes fell down uncontrollably.
Squeak
At this moment, the door of the ward behind her was opened, and someone came out from inside. Jian Xingsui saw Zhang Xia who was squatting and crying by the door, and was a little worried: Are you all right?
Zhang Xia saw Jian Xingsui looking so worried. It made her even more sad, her tears fell even more violently.
Jian Xingsui thought it was because of kidney donor trouble. He sighed, and then said: Just now, I saw that his condition seems to be more serious. The first two tests of potential donors arent good. And if this drags on, the doctor said it would become life-threatening to him. So, how about Ill go for a blood test to see the match?
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, and looked at Jian Xingsui in disbelief.
Jian Xingsui was a little embarrassed by her gaze, he lowered his head, and said softly: We could get a blood test to see that, and also get a paternity test along the way. If I am indeed of your flesh and blood, then no matter what, as long as it is suitable, I am willing to save him. You dont have to worry, everything will be fine.
These words seemed to hit Zhangs heart with a heavy hammer, making her both desperate and emotional.
Their family didnt spare any kindness towards Jian Xingsui, but even so, Jian Xingsui was willing to be filial to them. He was even willing to be her husbands kidney donor should they match.
The child she was willing to take out her lungs, in comparison, seemed to delay things and did it in such a perfunctory manner.
Mrs. Zhang endured her grief, Its okay Suisui, Ive already asked Ranran for help, he should be able to find a way. We wont use your kidney unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course we hope that you are in good health
Jian Xingsui looked at Mrs. Zhangs overwhelming sadness, he had no choice but to agree, Then wait a little longer. Im afraid Father wont be able to hold on. You also dont work too hard, or your body will get sick also.
Mrs. Zhang knew what he said was right.
She also was afraid she would spill and reveal her sins here if she continued to talk. So, she decided to go home.
