Forced to Promise Him

Knock, knock, knock.

"Enter."

Ye Ningxuan pushed open the door and entered.

Zhan Hanjue glanced up at her and tossed a file on the table.

"It's everything about your parents before the accident. It's all here. If there's anything you want to know, you can get a clue from this."

"Are you going to show it to me for free, or is it in the terms?" Ye Ningxuan asked.

"Naturally, it's within the terms."

"You said you'd give me a week to think about it," said Ye Ningxuan immediately.

Zhan Hanjue said, "I did say I'd give you a week to think about it. So it's up to you to see it or not."

Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. He was really cunning.

He had promised to give her a week to think about it, but he had deliberately thrown the information in front of her.

If she couldn't help but look, wouldn't that be equivalent to agreeing to his conditions?

"Young Madam, bad news. Young Master Ye suddenly rolled on the bed with abdominal pain."

Butler Wu suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in while reporting to Ye Ningxuan urgently.

Ye Ningxuan was shocked and immediately ran to Ye Shao's room.

Zhan Hanjue frowned and followed.

When Ye Ningxuan arrived at Ye Shao's room, she saw that Ye Shao's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He held his stomach and kept rolling on the bed. He was groaning in pain and was in a very bad state.

She quickly took out a silver needle and stuck it into him.

She quickly took his pulse and took out a few silver needles to insert.

After the silver needle was inserted, Ye Shao's pain improved slightly.

However, Ye Ningxuan knew that his illness couldn't be cured by Chinese medicine. She quickly asked Butler Wu to prepare a car and send him to the hospital.

"I'll go with you."

Butler Wu arranged for someone to carry Ye Shao to the car. Ye Ningxuan also wanted to follow them. When she passed by Zhan Hanjue, he grabbed her arm.

Ye Ningxuan turned to look at him and nodded slightly.

The two of them got into the car and sent Ye Shao to the hospital.

Ye Shao's situation was urgent, and with Zhan Hanjue personally coming, the hospital took it very seriously.

The dean was already resting. When he received the news, he got up and came over personally for a consultation.

Soon, the results came back.

As Ye Ningxuan had expected, Ye Shao had uremia. After he was beaten up by Feng Jiuzun's men, one of his kidneys was seriously injured and ruptured. Now, he needed emergency surgery.

"We need to operate immediately to remove that kidney. However, his condition is already very serious. It's best to find a suitable kidney source as soon as possible and arrange for a kidney transplant," the doctor said to Ye Ningxuan after the consultation.

Ye Ningxuan nodded. "Immediately."

The doctor hadn't expected her to make a decision so quickly. Most patients' families would consider it first.

However, since she could make a decision so quickly, it saved them a lot of trouble. Hence, she immediately arranged an operation for Ye Shao.

During the surgery, Ye Ningxuan said to Zhan Hanjue, "He needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible. Can you help find a suitable kidney source?"

With Zhan Hanjue's status and position, it wouldn't be difficult to accomplish.

Although Ye Ningxuan didn't want to beg him, time was precious. In order to save time, it was most convenient to ask him for help.

"I can help. I can even send him abroad for treatment. But why should I help you?" Zhan Hanjue asked.

Ye Ningxuan was speechless.

"Don't tell me you want to take advantage of the current situation! Don't forget, I healed your eyes. Think of it as returning the favor."

"And don't forget that you married me to use me to find out the truth about the accident. I paid a price for you treating my eyes. The payment for two questions has already been honored," Zhan Hanjue reminded her.

Ye Ningxuan bit her lip. She shouldn't have asked those two questions, especially the last one. It was simply a waste of opportunity.

"I can wait while you think about it," Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningxuan thought to herself, "You can wait, but Ye Shao can't."

"Alright, I promise you." Ye Ningxuan gritted her teeth and agreed.

Zhan Hanjue's lips curved in a sly smile.

"I want to read that information when I get back," Ye Ningxuan said again.

Since she had agreed, she naturally had to get more benefits.

"Alright, you can read it whenever you want. From now on, you're my wife. Whatever you want, as long as it's something I can do, I'll satisfy you," Zhan Hanjue promised.

Ye Ningxuan's heart skipped a beat. Why did these words… make her blush?

She must have been frightened by Ye Shao's incident and was mentally unstable.

She quickly checked his pulse. If her heart was fine, she must have been frightened!

As expected of the king of Jiang City's business empire, Zhan Hanjue actually solved the problem of the kidney donor in three days.

Ye Shao had a kidney transplant, and the surgery was very successful.

However, it would take a period of treatment to determine if his condition was stable. It would take some time to get used to it, since it wasn't his own kidney.

Ye Ningxuan went to look at him. He cried when he saw Ye Ningxuan. "Sister, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died."

"Since you call me your sister, I naturally won't watch you die. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on."

Ye Shao nodded with tears in his eyes.

This child was already extremely good-looking. When he cried like this, it made one's heart ache.

Wu Taotao came over with Ye Ningxuan. When she saw Ye Shao, he couldn't help but sigh. "What a lovable little boy."

"He's only fifteen," Ye Ningxuan reminded her.

Wu Taotao immediately said, "I know. I'm just admiring him. But Ningxuan, although he was adopted by your family, he really looks like you, especially his features. I heard that adopted children usually look like their own children."

Ye Ningxuan's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Ye Shao carefully and felt that his eyebrows were very similar to hers.

Or rather, very much like her mother's.

"Doc, I want a DNA test," Ye Ningxuan said to the doctor.

The doctor looked at her in surprise, but because she was the wife of the president of the Zhan Corporation, he quickly agreed.

The results were out very quickly. Ye Ningxuan and Ye Shao were actually related by blood.

But they weren't immediate family. It was probably collateral. But she didn't know if they were related on her father's side or her mother's.

"I didn't expect him to really be your younger brother. I wonder which side of the family he's from," Wu Taotao exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Ningxuan said, "He might be my mother's relative. If he was from the Ye family, would they treat him like this?"

"That's true. Unfortunately, your mother has no family left. The truth will probably be buried."

"Not necessarily. The Ye family must know something. Otherwise, they wouldn't know that Ye Shao was in the orphanage and even know his whereabouts. They must have sent people to monitor him. If they didn't know his background, why would they monitor a child like him? However, we'll find an opportunity to ask the Ye family and find out the truth." Ye Ningxuan's lips curled up, and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
