Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 60: He’s Good

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Chu Jinyu heard this question, her heart turned cold. Had her secret been discovered?

She had never told Han Qianjing about her childhood friend because they were not close. Most of the time, her mother was too busy for her.

She really admired her mother for being able to support such a big company. Her tactics left her speechless, but she was also very afraid of her. It was because her mother always looked at her expressionlessly, neither praising her nor drawing close to her. In the past she had often suspected if she was really her mother’s child.

No mother and daughter interacted like this.

At least from what she could remember, she could count using one hand the number of times she had seen her mother. As a child, even if she had a fall, it would be the servants who helped her up and applied first aid.

She felt like a machine with a fixed program.

She tried to communicate with those people around her, but they were unwilling to say anything. It seemed like there was no one at home.

This resulted in her independent personality.

It was not that she had not told her mother about being bullied when she was young. However, Han Qianjing only stared at her with her emotionless eyes until she felt scared.

“Why don’t you just hit them back? Since you don’t know how to resist, then get beaten until you learn to retaliate. Whether it’s pulling or biting, as long as you beat them until they’re afraid, won’t this matter be resolved? As for the medical fees, I’m not short of money.”

“You really don’t resemble me at all.”

Han Qianjing looked at her daughter in disappointment. She even suspected that her company would be destroyed by her daughter.

There was no comfort or encouragement from her.

Chu Jinyu asked aggrievedly, “If it were Mom, what would you do?”

“Do whatever it takes to get them beaten up and sent to the hospital. And let a few parents know the meaning of education.”

…

Her attitude towards her family was really too cold. So much so that until now, Chu Jinyu would rather be alone at home than have Han Qianjing visit her.

She took a deep breath. “If—I mean if—if there’s someone I like, would you give your consent?”

It was an expected answer.

Han Qianjing played with the ring in her hand. It seemed that the reason her daughter insisted on coming to Shanghai was probably because of this person. Perhaps she had gone out to eat with the same person.

She said calmly, “It seems that you rejected the people I introduced because of him? I respect your wishes…”

Before Chu Jinyu could relax, she continued, “But other than personality and looks, I also look at family background. Let’s talk. What do you think of the person you like?”

When she heard the words ‘family background’, Chu Jinyu’s expression turned a little ugly. She moved her lips and said, “He comes from an ordinary family.

In addition, his parents have passed away, and he does not have any relatives.

But he has a good personality. He’s helpful, gentle, and humble. He’s like a hero. His looks match my standards. He has just graduated and has a bright future.”

Han Qianjing looked at her and asked, “Are you joking?”

“You think he has a bright future just after graduation? Your filter is a little too thick. Who knows, he might just be an insignificant employee for the rest of his life. Becoming a senior executive might be his limit. It’s rare for ordinary families to enter our circle. Only one in 10,000 people can do that.

Do you think you have such good taste? Besides, your birthplace determines your starting point, and your starting point is his endpoint. If your family background is not right, your future will not be good. Why waste your precious youth on trial and error?”

Chu Jinyu knew that this was reality, but she had fallen deeply in love with Lu Ming, so much so that she could not extricate herself.

“… I have faith in him.”

Han Qianjing said calmly, “People’s hearts will change. You’re still too young. If you have time in the future, I’ll take you to meet other outstanding young people…”

Before she could finish, Chu Jinyu interrupted her. “I like him. He’s different from those people!”

Their eyes met, neither willing to back down.

“What I’m saying is based on what you said. He’s from an ordinary family. How can you two be from the same world? Or perhaps, you want to defy me because of him?”

Han Qianjing’s tone turned cold. “If you can do this, I’ll only think that you’ve been bewitched by him and lost your soul. He’s just an ordinary person. With just a few words, I can suppress him for the rest of his life! Think carefully before you talk to me.”

She did not disguise her threat.

Chu Jinyu was no match for her. She dropped her arms weakly, her eyes pleading. “He… is really very good.”

“Oh? Is that so? There are many people who are better than him in this world. Don’t tell me you want to love every good person you meet? Love is the most unreliable thing.”

Han Qianjing said coldly, “You’d better think carefully. I won’t pursue this matter, but you know what to do. Go back to your room.”

Chu Jinyu returned to her room in a daze. She lay on the bed, unable to get rid of the image of Lu Ming standing in front of her time and time again. How could this liking disappear just like that?

“Isn’t it because I like him that I came back?”?she reflected.

However, her liking would only bring disaster to Lu Ming.?“What should I do?”

…

She did not sleep the entire night.

The next day.

Han Qianjing, who was wearing a white shirt and pants, sat quietly on a chair. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, making her look much more energetic. A woman in a business suit stood beside her. She looked to be in her early twenties.

“CEO Han, why did you call me over?”

“I want the branch company to make a name for itself in the Shanghai market. It’s not my style to wait and do nothing. Now I want to acquire some businesses. Have you noticed any big moves in the real estate business recently, Secretary Xu?”

Although Xu Wei was helping Chu Jinyu with something, she was actually someone Han Qianjing had specially sent over.

“It’s very calm, but recently, I heard that a house in Upper Forest Park has been sold.”

Han Qianjing was puzzled. “What’s the big deal? Isn’t it a very normal thing?”

“It’s not an ordinary house. The owner of No. 1 Residence has changed.”

This news exploded in Han Qianjing’s mind like a thunderclap. Before she could react, Xu Wei continued, “Moreover, according to some sources, it was rumored that a young man bought it.”

“Young man?!”

This was serious!

To be able to buy No. 1 Residence at a young age, he had to be either powerful or have a strong family background. In any case, he could not be too bad in terms of wealth!

Han Qianjing immediately had an idea. Her daughter might become a couple with that mysterious young man.

Moreover, he was living next door.. It was a good opportunity for them since the timing, place, and people were right.
