CHAPTER 159: CHAPTER 159 NEGOTIATIONS

Obviously, Ji Yu had a good understanding of the other party’s intentions. The Lin family patriarch wanted Ji Yu’s kidney, but he couldn’t take it by force.

He could only negotiate with the Ji family first, but he didn’t expect the Ji family to be so persistent, so he decided to come and find Ji Yu personally.

His gaze towards Ji Yu was very murky, an expression unique to patients.

But Ji Yu didn’t have any sympathy for such a person; how could someone who thought of such a tactic be a good person?

"You’ve long known I have ulterior motives for finding you, so I’ll just say it directly. You do have some connection to the Lin family, though this relative is quite distant. The reason I found you is because you have a record at the orphanage."

Originally, he thought that finding an orphan could resolve this matter smoothly; after all, who doesn’t yearn for familial bonds?

But Ji Yu happened to be an exception.

And with his special blood type, he could only seek out Ji Yu.

"A person approaching with ulterior motives is obvious, especially since your demeanor that day seemed like you were eagerly craving something. I can be sure it wasn’t a longing for a daughter or family ties."

She’s always been good at judging people, and besides, the Lin patriarch’s appearance already looked strange before.

Ji Yu has always been cautious about such matters, especially since the Ji family has been genuinely good to her.

"You’re indeed a smart child, so I’ll say it bluntly. I did come to you for other reasons. But don’t think these matters are so terrible. I just need one kidney from you."

He spoke lightly, as if it were as simple as eating or drinking.

But for Ji Yu, it wasn’t just that simple.

"Do you think I would help you? Is there any false family affection between us?"

Ji Yu looked at him and found it somewhat amusing. Someone who never wanted any interaction suddenly had other thoughts at this moment; so what would you do?

"I have no family affection for you, nor any sympathy. To be honest, your situation has no impact on me whatsoever, so I absolutely won’t donate my kidney to you."

He didn’t panic, knowing that Ji Yu wouldn’t easily compromise when faced with such matters. "I know you’re a strong-willed child, but there are things that just can’t be refused. If you refuse, the Ji family will suffer with you."

"Really? Is this a threat?" She had never met someone so shameless.

His attitude was clear; as long as Ji Yu was willing to donate, nothing would happen to the Ji family.

"Your blood type is quite special, just right for a match with me. I’ve already looked for many people before; you’re my last hope. Do you think I won’t go all out against you?"

To be honest, Ji Yu really didn’t understand why he was like this.

Hadn’t he lived long enough at his age?

"Do you think you’re such a good person by acting this way? Living so long hasn’t any significance."

She originally had issues with the Lin family patriarch, so her words were blunt, and his expression was not good.

"You child speak so harshly; I bet your family never taught you manners. I advise you not to talk recklessly."

He still wanted to live.

If he didn’t want to live, he wouldn’t have come to find Ji Yu.

"I need your kidney. All I need is your agreement, and I can protect the Ji family. Don’t you think it’s a good deal? I can even offer you a share of the Lin family’s wealth."

"Thank you, but I still need to live a little longer." She couldn’t help but roll her eyes, not knowing what exactly this person wanted.

Is it really that hard to find another suitable kidney?

"Finding you just means there’s basically no saving me."

She had her own principles about such things; if it were someone close to her, she would undoubtedly save them, but now there was no familiarity between her and the Lin family patriarch.

Moreover, she’s pregnant; donating a kidney is practically a death wish.

"And besides, you should be able to tell that I’m pregnant, shouldn’t you? Isn’t it inappropriate to ask a pregnant woman to donate organs?"

Perhaps these matters were too urgent for him, so even knowing she was pregnant, he couldn’t wait any longer.

"The child doesn’t have to be born, but if you refuse to donate, I absolutely won’t wait until your child is born."

He was already dying. At such an age, having such a disease meant that no matter how much money he had, it wouldn’t sustain him for long.

Ji Yu raised her eyebrows, seemingly unfazed by such things, "So why do you think your life is more important to me than my child’s?"

Even if he were really about to die, what did it matter to her?

"Don’t you think you’re quite selfish?"

The Lin family patriarch’s emotions were starting to fray upon hearing this. The strong desire to live made him careless in his words.

"Ji Yu, do you know that by saying this, you’re essentially saying I’m doomed to die? I don’t want to die, and indeed there’s some blood relationship between us; I’m somewhat your grandfather."

All he cared about was his own life.

The child hadn’t even been born yet, so how could there be any sentiment?

"Once you donate a kidney, you’ll get tremendous wealth. Don’t you think it’s worth it?"

He just hoped Ji Yu would quickly agree.

Ji Yu rolled her eyes, "So, how desperate for money do I have to be to trade my unborn child for it?"

Such things were too cruel for her.

And besides, swapping kidneys sounds simple, but when faced with such a scenario, wouldn’t refusal be a normal decision?

"I’ve said all I needed to. Whatever more you have to say has nothing to do with me."

She didn’t care about these things, and given the situation as it was, the Lin family patriarch had made it explicitly clear that he wanted her child’s life.

"Sir, one must have their own principles. Consider that you’ve lived to this age; a peaceful death could even be a good thing. Who knows, your family might all be eagerly waiting for your death?"

Her words contained clear malice.

When the Lin patriarch mentioned wanting her child’s life, Ji Yu decided that their relationship was irreparably bad.

The Lin patriarch was so furious he gasped for breath where he stood, and the staff worried he might faint right then and there.

"Are you okay, sir?"

He looked up, his eyes bloodshot, "Do I look like I’m okay?"

Even now, he still wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened.
