Gu Luoan dropped his phone, feeling defeated.
Seeing those comments, Gu Luoan couldn't help but think that he had never considered this issue before.
In both his previous and current lives, he had always thought that Shen Meiyin had an extra kidney and that the functions of her remaining kidney would not be affected. She herself wouldn't be affected either.
It was just that in his previous life, Shen Meiyin was unlucky and donated her kidney when she was already weak, which led to her death due to complications.
However, even so, in this new life, Gu Luoan didn't plan to let Shen Meiyin donate her kidney.
He was actively searching for a matching kidney source and had already found a promising lead.
But seeing these netizens' comments now, Gu Luoan was glad that he had changed his mind early in this life.
The door to his office was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Luoan looked up and saw Mrs. Gu rushing in.
His assistant hung his head, following behind nervously.
He didn't dare to stop Mrs. Gu.
"You can go out," Gu Luoan said.
The assistant, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly left the office and closed the door.
Mrs. Gu strode over to Gu Luoan and asked urgently, "Is what they're saying online true? Does Su Yiqing really have a kidney problem?"
"Mom, sit down first," Gu Luoan stood up and led Mrs. Gu to the sofa, pouring her a glass of water.
"I'm not drinking." Madam Gu said anxiously, "How could I be in the mood for water right now? Tell me first, is that recording online true?"
Gu Luoan let out a long sigh: "It's true."
"What?" Madam Gu abruptly stood up, her voice rising in anger, "Su Yiqing has kidney problems, and the Su family all knew about it, yet they kept pushing you two together!"
Madam Gu even laughed in anger, "Their family is truly shameless!"
"I was wondering why you were so unlucky, ending up entangled with those shameless people from the Su family," Madam Gu said angrily, feeling it was unfair for Gu Luoan. "First, there was that uncouth Shen Mianyin. I didn't like her from the start. I felt she wasn't our kind of people, she didn't have the slightest air of a wealthy family's daughter."
"But considering the Su family's reputation, I reluctantly tolerated it. Sure enough, she was an imposter." Madam Gu sneered, "I thought Su Yiqing spoke softly and seemed gentle and easy to manipulate, who knew she was such a sickly person!"
"You break up with Su Yiqing immediately and sever all ties," Madam Gu said angrily.
Gu Luoan frowned and said, "Mom, who said I was with her? I've had nothing to do with her from beginning to end."
Madam Gu was taken aback for a moment and said, "If you have nothing to do with her, then why are you so concerned about her affairs? You're always the first to be by her side whenever something happens."
"I just feel sorry for her; she's suffered so much. And since our family has a good relationship with the Su family, I help her out whenever I can," Gu Luoan said. "It's nothing major, it's all stuff I can easily handle. Besides, I only treat her like a younger sister."
Madam Gu paused, truly unable to understand Gu Luoan's way of thinking.
The level of care he showed for Su Yiqing didn't look at all like he only considered her a younger sister.
"But it's good that way." Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief. "No matter what, as long as you have nothing to do with Su Yiqing, that's fine. In our social circle, there are so many daughters from prominent families. If there aren't suitable ones in the capital, there are others elsewhere."
"There are plenty of those with good family backgrounds and healthy bodies." As Shen Mianyin had predicted, Madam Gu's attitude changed immediately upon hearing about Su Yiqing's health. "That sickly girl from the Su family is simply not worthy of you."
"Mom, I haven't broken off the engagement with Mianyin yet," Gu Luoan said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean you haven't broken off the engagement? You two broke it off a long time ago," Madam Gu said, assuming Gu Luoan was reminding her. "Shen Mianyin has been telling everyone that she broke off the engagement with you, and I've also discussed the matter of breaking off the engagement with the Su family."
Madam Gu became angry just thinking about this: "The Su family actually said that there was no need to return the betrothal gifts and return gifts from both sides; they would simply transfer them to Su Yiqing."
Madam Gu sneered: "I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now I finally understand. They intended to force Su Yiqing on you."
"What broken engagement?" Gu Luoan's expression changed. "I never agreed to it from beginning to end. My fiancée has always been Shen Mianyin."
"What do you mean?" Madam Gu looked at Gu Luoan in shock. "Have you lost your mind? Shen Mianyin took the initiative to break off the engagement, and you still don't want to?"
"I haven't agreed, so we're still engaged," Gu Luoan insisted. "I don't care who her family is, my fiancée is only Shen Meiyin."
"Mom, I'm not going to be with anyone else."
"You actually fell in love with Shen Meiyin?" Originally, their two families were just forming an alliance through marriage, "I thought you've always been lukewarm towards Shen Meiyin, and you didn't seem to like her very much. Why are you so insistent on her now?"
Gu Luoan frowned, "How could I not like her? I've always liked her."
How could his own mother think that he didn't like Shen Meiyin that much?
"Your father and I will never agree to you being with Shen Meiyin," Mrs. Gu said firmly. "She was never good enough for you before, and she's even less so now!"
"I'm telling you, give up on this idea," Mrs. Gu said coldly. "And besides, she was able to release that recording and harm the Su family. Who knows when our family will be harmed by her? She records everything. We should be wary of such a person, yet you actually like her."
Gu Luoan pinched the corner of his eye and sighed, saying, "Mom, I still have work to do. Let's talk about this later."
Mrs. Gu knew that Gu Luoan hadn't given up yet.
But as long as they didn't agree, it didn't matter how much Gu Luoan liked her.
So Mrs. Gu didn't take it seriously.
She left angrily, planning to confront the Su family.
Gu Luoan wearily slumped onto the sofa. Before he even had time to gather his thoughts, he received a call from Su's mother.
Gu Luoan frowned but still answered the call.
As long as he could find a kidney for Su Yiqing, get her a transplant, and restore her health, he wouldn't care about her anymore.
"Luoan!" Su's mother cried out in panic on the other end of the line.
"Aunt, what's wrong?" Gu Luoan asked hurriedly, "Take your time and tell me, don't be in such a hurry."
"Qingqing... Qingqing, she tried to kill herself!" Su's mother cried.
"What?" Gu Luoan jumped to his feet. "How is she now?"
"Luckily, we found her in time and sent her to the hospital. She's been saved," Su's mother cried. "She's still in the ward getting an IV drip, but I'm worried she might try to do something foolish again."
"Luoan, can you... can you come see her?" Su's mother cried, "She listens to you the most. No matter how much your uncle and I try to persuade her, it's useless. Only you can persuade her."
"Okay."
Gu Luoan rushed to Chenhui Hospital and found the ward where Su Yiqing was staying.
As soon as he entered, he saw Su Yiqing lying pale on the bed, silently shedding tears.
