"Believe it or not." With that, Jiang Ziyu picked up her backpack and was about to leave.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Di Jianhan called out to her retreating figure, "I hope Miss Jiang will keep her word."
After Jiang Ziyu left, Lu Sisi, who had been hiding nearby, walked over.
Di Jianhan told Lu Sisi about the outcome of their conversation, and she looked full of disbelief.
"Uncle, you can't trust her words," Lu Sisi said. "If she was really willing to leave, why didn't she agree before and make us go through all this trouble?"
Di Jianhan fell into hesitation.
But Jiang Ziyu's words were also clear: if they displeased her again, she would change her mind.
"Sisi, why don't we trust her this once?"
The fact that he asked this meant Di Jianhan had already made up his mind. Even if Lu Sisi didn't want to agree, it would be futile.
She was truly cunning.
...
Back at the Di residence, Jiang Ziyu faced Di Mingjue, who seemed to have something to say but hesitated. The moment she had spoken those words, she knew this would be the scene when they met again.
Better a short pain than a long one; since it was coming, let it come.
Jiang Ziyu took the initiative to approach Di Jianhan and said, "I have already scheduled the surgery with Peter. It can be done next week."
"So soon?" For a fleeting moment, Di Mingjue wished his leg would just stay as it was and not be treated.
Sensing his thoughts, Jiang Ziyu quickly explained, "After the surgery, you will rest for a week. If there are no complications, you can have the kidney transplant surgery by the end of the month."
Yu Ze couldn't wait any longer, and neither could she.
Facing Jiang Ziyu, who had already decided everything, Di Mingjue nodded in agreement.
Staying together any longer would make them both awkward. To avoid this, Jiang Ziyu deliberately avoided Di Mingjue. She focused all her attention on treating Qianqian's throat, so that at least when she left, Qianqian could grow up safely, accompanying Di Mingjue like a normal child.
From their behavior, Lu Sisi gradually began to believe Jiang Ziyu's promise to Di Jianhan. However, she was still apprehensive, fearing that Jiang Ziyu might go back on her word at the last minute.
During this time, she took advantage of Jiang Ziyu's busyness to deliberately try and build a connection with Qianqian.
A week passed quickly. Peter, having finished his work abroad, arrived in the capital two days earlier.
To ensure the surgery was foolproof, Jiang Ziyu brought Di Mingjue to see Peter. During the physical examination, Peter glanced at Jiang Ziyu, who was beside him.
"I heard you're coming abroad?"
"Did Liangchen say that?"
"Of course. Besides him, does anyone else know your thoughts and decisions?"
Peter looked at Di Mingjue through the instrument. He never expected that despite such an intimate opportunity, he had not won Jiang Ziyu's heart.
Jiang Ziyu patted Peter's shoulder and teased with a smile, "Are you unhappy that I'm going back?"
"Of course, I'm happy," Peter replied with a smile. "The moment I heard you were handling domestic matters, I rushed to finish my work abroad and came here to help you."
Peter would also perform the subsequent kidney transplant surgery. The main reason was that she didn't trust other doctors and was afraid that Yu Ze's situation might be intentionally magnified.
After the examination, Jiang Ziyu made an excuse and let Di Mingjue leave alone.
Di Mingjue initially wanted to stay, but his company had an urgent matter. He had no choice but to ask Jiang Ziyu to send him a message after she was done.
Watching him enter the elevator, Jiang Ziyu turned to see Peter looking at her strangely.
"Love, truly a troublesome thing," Peter sighed and turned to leave.
Love could bring joy and sorrow. Those without a strong heart should not dabble in it.
Jiang Ziyu followed Peter, and the two of them discussed the requirements for the kidney transplant surgery at the end of the month.
Yu Ze was overjoyed to learn that Di Mingjue would be donating a kidney to him at the end of the month. Both children believed that after the surgery, they would be able to acknowledge Di Mingjue as their father.
