Even if Lin Wenyan didn’t want to get involved in this matter, Old Master Lin would never give up so easily.
When he found out that the relationship between Lin Wenyan and Ji Yu was still sowhat cordial, he arranged for Lin Wenyan to plead her case without hesitation.
"You push there. I refuse to believe this girl is truly that heartless. Bring so dia along as well, if it’s necessary."
He had already made up his mind—if he wanted to survive, there was no way he’d casually give up on the household registration issue.
Old Master Lin’s condition was visibly deteriorating, but his temper was as bad as ever. No one dared to contradict his words.
Yet Lin Wenyan felt that this seed too extre for a young woman. "Old Master, Ji Yu has little to do with our family, and she’s pregnant. Even if you go to her now, it’s unlikely she’ll agree."
What was happening was fundantally unfair to Ji Yu.
Ever since he returned from the hospital that day, Lin Wenyan had already decided to side with Ji Yu.
Old Master Lin’s cloudy eyes showed anger. "I knew it. You all want dead. You all want my assets for yourselves. If you refuse to take to Ji Yu, I’ll donate all of the inheritance and leave none for you."
After that remark, the room exploded into chaos.
Everyone urged Lin Wenyan to take the Old Master over as soon as possible. "Isn’t it just about talking nicely to Ji Yu? Negotiate with her, discuss so benefits—maybe she’ll agree!"
Whenever their own interests were at stake, they showed extre concern.
Looking at their ugly faces, Lin Wenyan was montarily at a loss for words.
"Just agree for appearances’ sake. Do you want to beco the enemy of the entire family?"
Soone quietly reminded him from the side.
Left with little choice, Lin Wenyan took the Old Master and the reporters to Tian’s place.
As soon as Tian saw the large group of people, he instantly knew there was trouble. "What’s the aning of this? Our Sister Yu has been tirelessly helping you take care of your family’s child, and this is how you repay her? Such ungrateful behavior!"
While sending a ssage to Ji Yu, he blocked their way.
The Old Master, looking as though he was on the verge of death, weakly said, "I just want to ask this child to save . This has nothing to do with Wenyan."
He appeared frail and pitiful, seated in his wheelchair.
But Tian and his group were firmly on Ji Yu’s side. Since Ji Yu didn’t want to donate, then so be it.
When Ji Yu received Tian’s ssage, she hurried out.
Seeing such a bustling scene, she couldn’t help but raise her brows, appearing sowhat surprised.
"Are you here to prosecute ? I rely don’t want to donate, but you use such ans—are you trying to force to donate?"
The fact that they even thought of such tactics was beyond her comprehension.
But Ji Yu would never be intimidated by such threats.
Faced with their aggressive posturing, she showed not a trace of fear.
The Old Master staggered to his feet, trying to appear resolute. "Yu, I know you don’t want to acknowledge , you don’t want to co back ho, and you don’t want to save —I’ve co to terms with all of that. The reason I’m here today is simply to leave proof that you’re a child of the Lin family."
The reporters were clicking away, taking photos, but Ji Yu’s expression remained unfazed. "I am not your family’s child. Are you certain I looked like this fifteen years ago? And even now, you’re sure I look the sa? No issues there at all?"
She wouldn’t let them continue filming her so recklessly. As for what truly happened back then, whether that child was still alive, only they knew the truth.
"You think we’re biologically related, so that makes us family? Since when does society confirm family ties just by looking at a face?"
She found this logic utterly ridiculous. Previous events had already been proven to be part of a conspiracy, so why pretend to be virtuous now?
Judging by his current deanor, Ji Yu didn’t believe Old Master Lin would resign himself to this fate. Whatever he harbored in his heart, only he truly knew.
"Yu, I don’t an anything else. I understand your suspicions, they’re normal—but blood ties cannot be severed. You don’t have to sacrifice anything."
His bitter smile revealed his inner struggle as he tried to approach Ji Yu and grab her hand. But how could Ji Yu possibly let him touch her? She deftly dodged him without hesitation.
"You can talk, but no need for physical contact."
His expression turned sorrowful, as though the circumstances were too tragic to bear.
Ji Yu had long grown used to this sort of situation. "Stop creating unnecessary drama. Whatever you want to offer, I don’t want it. And stop trying to morally coerce ."
She felt no moral obligation toward people like them.
She also knew that after this encounter, the dia would likely portray her as a heartless ingrate.
But it wasn’t the first ti Ji Yu had experienced such accusations. Even if she were criticized as an ungrateful person, she could face it calmly.
"Yu, just save the Old Master, won’t you?" Lin Chujian suddenly spoke up.
Within just a short period, her eyes had welled with tears, as if deeply worried about the Old Master’s plight, also lanting Ji Yu’s callousness.
"Donating one kidney to the Old Master won’t kill you. But without your kidney, the Old Master definitely won’t last long. If possible, I’m willing to exchange mine for his sake."
Her tearful words made her look like the perfect, virtuous child.
For a mont, Ji Yu found it amusing.
"Miss, how easy it is for you to make proclamations while standing there unaffected. Since you know yours can’t be donated, you think you can say whatever you like. But have you ever considered my situation?"
Ji Yu’s belly had already started to show slightly. They hadn’t noticed it yet, but that didn’t an Ji Yu wouldn’t address it.
"You say the Old Master, at his age, must be saved. But what about my child, who hasn’t even been born yet—should they lose their chance to live?" Her eyes also grew red.
She seed on the verge of tears but was holding them back. This made her look far more pitiable than Lin Chujian monts ago.
She gently stroked her belly, exuding a maternal tenderness unique to expectant mothers. "I can’t bear to lose this child, and I won’t donate my kidney to soone whose identity remains unclear. I just want to live an ordinary life. Is that so wrong?"
Standing alone in her spot, Ji Yu faced the mbers of the Lin family lined up across from her, seemingly alone against their bullying.
Lin Chujian gritted her teeth, convinced that Ji Yu’s performance was exceptionally good.
"How could you possibly be pregnant? Don’t you still lack a husband?"
"Who says she doesn’t?" Gu Qixiao arrived just in ti, claiming both Ji Yu and the child as his own.
He had expected this family wouldn’t give up so easily, and after catching wind of the situation online, he rushed over.
Seeing Ji Yu’s red-rimd eyes, even though he knew it was only an act, he couldn’t help but feel distressed.
