After I Cut Ties with My Family, They Still Knelt and Begged Me - Chapter 4:
Chapter 4: The Kidney Match Was Actually Him!
Chen Zimo turned back and looked at the full view of Yujing Villa.
“Heh. Yujing Villa? One day I’ll come back.”
“And when that time comes, it will be the beginning of my revenge against the Chen family!”
After saying that, he turned and walked away. His steps were decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The moment he stepped out of the Chen family villa, Chen Zimo felt as if a thousand-kilogram burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His entire body felt refreshed, as if he had just finished a sauna.
“From now on, the sea is vast enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly.”
“Driving me out of the Chen family is the greatest mistake all of you will make in this lifetime.”
“And since you made a mistake, you will pay a heavy price for it. Even with your lives.”
Watching Chen Zimo walk out without hesitation, Lin Jiangxue suddenly felt a trace of doubt rise in her heart.
Could it be he wasn’t using leaving home to threaten us? Could he actually mean it?
Impossible.
For the past two years he endured beatings and insults. Even half a year ago when Chen Tinghao beat him into the ICU, he refused to leave. Now he’s only being asked to apologize. How could he leave?
How could he give up the Chen family’s wealth worth tens of billions of yuan?
He must be trying to use leaving home to pressure us.
“Hmph. Chen Zimo, you’re still too naive.”
Seeing him already beyond the gate, Lin Jiangxue suddenly felt uneasy, as if she had just lost something important.
But she didn’t know what it was.
In her heart, driving him out had only been angry words. After all, Chen Zimo was the Chen family’s only biological son. In the future, he would inherit wealth worth tens of billions of yuan, villas, luxury cars. Conditions thousands of times better than the orphanage. How could he possibly give up such a lavish life?
“Chen Zimo is just using leaving the Chen family as an excuse. He definitely can’t bear to leave these favorable conditions. He’s just bringing up our unfairness toward him to threaten Mom and Dad. He’s courting death,” Third Sister Chen Qingya said with disdain, glancing at Chen Zimo’s departing figure.
“Dad, Mom, look at this country bumpkin. So ill-mannered. He didn’t even say goodbye when leaving.”
“I say he’s just playing hard to get, trying to make you and Zixuan lower your heads and beg him to come back. He can’t bear to leave the Chen family, let alone the tens of billions of yuan in assets.”
“If he dares to come back, you must not go soft this time. Make him kneel there for three days and three nights and teach him a proper lesson!”
Fourth Sister Chen Shuting suddenly spoke, “Third Sister, you’re right. He definitely can’t bear to leave the Chen family’s wealth.”
“But right now, he has no choice but to leave.”
Chen Qingya frowned in confusion. “Fourth Sister, what reason?”
Chen Shuting was dressed in a professional suit. Her features were upright, her hair meticulously styled, so neat that even a fly would slide off.
She had studied law at Qingbei University and, after several years, had already become a prominent lawyer.
She despised Chen Zimo deeply, seeing him as a petty thief who frequently stole and damaged property.
Whenever Chen Zimo caused trouble, she would warn him to behave or she would personally send him to prison, as if sending her own biological younger brother to jail were her destiny.
“But you’ve forgotten,” she said coldly, “his cheating is a fact. Pushing Zixuan down the stairs is also a fact.”
“Attempted murder is a serious crime. If he really didn’t do those things, why would he run? Because if the officer investigates further, he’ll definitely end up in detention for several years.”
“He only needs to get through this moment. Do you really think Mom and Dad would call the police on him?”
Then Chen Shuting gently patted Chen Zixuan’s head, her face full of concern.
“He stole Zixuan’s Qingbei admission spot through cheating. Pushing someone down the stairs is essentially attempted murder. He thinks he can just walk away like this? I will make sure he understands just how wrong he is.”
“He thinks he’s grabbed the Chen family’s weakness because of reputation. He’s too naive.”
“If he still refuses to repent, even if it damages the Chen family’s image, I’ll personally send him to prison for proper reform.”
Chen Zixuan almost failed to suppress the upward curl of his lips, though he quickly covered it with false sincerity.
“Although Brother Zimo cheated and pushed me down the stairs, committing a serious offense, I still believe he’s not that kind of person. He’ll figure it out soon and come back.”
“I just hope when Brother Zimo returns, you won’t blame him. Otherwise, he’ll misunderstand me again and think I spoke badly about him.”
Chen Shuting raised an eyebrow. “Zixuan, you’re just too kind. That’s why Chen Zimo always frames you. Don’t worry. I won’t just make him return the Qingbei admission spot. This time I’ll make sure he learns his lesson.”
Though she said that, for some reason, as she watched Chen Zimo’s retreating figure, she felt an inexplicable sense that she might truly lose this brother.
Third Sister Chen Qingya pointed at her slightly swollen cheek. “Shuting, remember to help me get revenge too.”
Chen Qingya was a celebrity. With good natural conditions and a graduate of the Central Academy of Drama, she had secured many acting roles thanks to the Chen family. Unfortunately, she had been spoiled since childhood and frequently threw tantrums on set. After three years in the industry, she was still only a third-tier star.
But even a third-tier star relied on her face.
Everyone in the family knew how much she valued her appearance. Every year she spent several hundred thousand yuan on maintenance.
Yet Chen Zimo had dared to slap her face. It was practically trying to destroy her dream of becoming a major star.
Seeing her slightly swollen face, Chen Zixuan hurried to blow gently on it to ease the pain, then fetched ice from the refrigerator to reduce the swelling. Finally, he carefully applied a 3,000 yuan repair mask.
This process lasted half an hour. Only when the swelling subsided did everyone relax.
Only Lin Jiangxue frowned slightly.
She had noticed earlier that Chen Zimo’s head wound had been bleeding continuously. But none of them cared enough to treat it.
It should be fine. He handled previous injuries himself.
The family finally calmed down and was about to rest.
Ring, ring, ring.
A sharp phone ringtone pierced the air.
“Doctor Li, this is Chen Tinghao. Speak,” Chen Tinghao answered directly.
“Chairman Chen, hard work pays off. We’ve finally found a kidney match for Young Master Zixuan. As long as the other party agrees, surgery can be arranged immediately,” Doctor Li Xu said urgently from the other end.
“Only…”
“Only what? How much does he want? 1 million yuan? 2 million yuan? Even 3 million yuan. As long as he’s willing to donate a kidney to my son, any price is fine,” Chen Tinghao said, switching on speaker mode. He gently patted the excited Chen Zixuan’s head. “No matter how much it costs, Dad will cure you.”
Lin Jiangxue, Chen Qingya, and Chen Shuting all looked at Chen Tinghao.
Chen Zixuan had been born prematurely and suffered from congenital kidney failure.
Otherwise, such an obedient child would not have been abandoned by his biological parents, nor would the Chen family have adopted him.
This illness was known as a rich man’s disease. Expensive medication could sustain him, but the only fundamental solution was a kidney transplant.
The Chen family had money, but it had taken years to find even this faint hope.
“Chairman Chen, please don’t worry,” Doctor Li continued. “We discovered that the matching donor was hospitalized in the ICU half a year ago after being beaten. It was through that medical report that we identified him as compatible with Young Master Zixuan.”
“However, according to the examination report, when he was admitted, his body was covered in injuries and he showed long-term malnutrition, suspected to be from prolonged abuse. We don’t know how well he’s recovered after half a year, or whether he can undergo kidney donation.”
“You know that for someone who suffered long-term abuse, malnutrition, and ICU hospitalization, it’s very difficult to recover to donation standards within six months. If the transplant is forced, the donor may die.”
“Of course, Chairman Chen, don’t worry too much. Even if a transplant proceeds, he would need at least another six months of recovery before surgery.”
All eyes in the room turned to Chen Zixuan.
His face flushed with excitement. “Dad, Mom, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, six months is nothing. I can wait.”
“Don’t worry. In these six months, I’ll not only get into Qingbei University, but also train my body well so I’ll be at peak condition for surgery.”
“I won’t disappoint your expectations. I’ll repay your upbringing.”
Chen Tinghao nodded with satisfaction. “Good. Worthy of being my son.”
Lin Jiangxue hugged Chen Zixuan tightly. “Son, I know you’ve suffered for so many years and often fall ill. This time, no matter how much it costs, we’ll cure you. My son will finally be healthy. I’m so happy.”
Chen Qingya nodded approvingly. “Zixuan is truly obedient. If that country bumpkin Chen Zimo had even one-tenth of Zixuan’s obedience, Mom and Dad wouldn’t be so angry.”
The moment she mentioned Chen Zimo, the atmosphere froze.
At that instant, Doctor Li’s voice came again from the phone. “Oh? How do you know the donor’s name is Chen Zimo?”
“Yes, his name is indeed Chen Zimo. He’s technically from the countryside. His registered address is Cixiang Orphanage not far from your home.”
“I heard he was taken back by his biological parents two years ago. Sigh. I don’t know how cruel his parents must be to abuse their own son after bringing him home. Two years ago his medical report showed he was very healthy. But half a year ago, he was malnourished, abused, and beaten into the ICU. Otherwise, Young Master Zixuan could have undergone surgery earlier.”
“This child’s life is truly bitter. His parents are really heartless.”
Clatter.
The brand-new Fruit 3 phone slipped from Chen Tinghao’s hand and fell to the ground.
“Chairman Chen, are you still there? Hello… hello… These Fruit phones really have poor signal.”
Beep… beep… beep…
