Chapter 927
Chapter 927: Chapter 911: Mom Does Not Agree Chapter 927: Chapter 911: Mom Does Not Agree Tang Xincheng had just come back when he noticed Ren Li staring blankly into space, probably still unable to recover from the shock of her father’s death.
He put down his backpack and walked over to sit in front of Ren Li.
“Mom,” he said, taking Ren Li’s hand.
“Hmm, why are you back?”
Ren Li stroked her son’s head.
“Is your exam over?
How did it go?”
Ren Li knew her son was taking an exam.
Although she couldn’t muster much enthusiasm for anything at the moment, she remembered her son’s exams and was aware of them.
“Not bad.”
Tang Xincheng actually didn’t know how well he had done either, but it should have been pretty good.
He completed all the questions and had checked the answers, which were mostly correct.
Even if he couldn’t achieve first place in the class, he should have been in the top two or three.
After finishing the exams came the holidays.

He would have about a month off, during which he could make some decisions.
“Mom, there is something I need to talk to you about.”
Tang Xincheng had thought about it for a long time and had made up his mind after much consideration before he spoke to Ren Li.
Of course, he hadn’t asked his father to come over; he had waited until his father went out with Xiaobai and Da Bai.
“Hmm, go ahead,” Ren Li said with a smile to her son.
“You’ve grown up and can make decisions for yourself now.”
Tang Xincheng was mature beyond his years and had grown up all of a sudden.
Indeed, he was fully capable of making his own decisions now.
“Mom…” Tang Xincheng called out to Ren Li.
“I want to donate bone marrow to Wu Liangliang.”
Ren Li’s brow furrowed.
“Chengcheng, do you realize what you’re saying?”
“Yes, I do,” Tang Xincheng hugged Ren Li’s arm.
“Mom, don’t worry, this wasn’t a sudden idea.
I’ve thought about it for a long time and have given it a lot of consideration before deciding.”
“Why?”
Ren Li didn’t understand; she knew all too well how much she disliked Ren Ying, and Tang Xincheng, her son, disliked Wu Liangliang equally.
Yet now he wanted to donate bone marrow to save Wu Liangliang’s life.
“It was Grandpa’s dying wish,” Tang Xincheng had made up his mind.
“Grandpa gave me those things, but I didn’t know what to do with them.
Before he passed, he told you that if possible, we should save Wu Liangliang’s life.”
“I know nothing worried Grandpa more in his life than Wu Liangliang.
Sis said that if Wu Liangliang can’t get the bone marrow transplant, he won’t make it.”
“Mom, I want to save him, even though he is really unpleasant.”
Even now, just mentioning Wu Liangliang made Tang Xincheng feel sick to his stomach, especially recalling Wu Liangliang’s dark, gaunt, sleazy face, which made eating unbearable.
But he still wanted to save him.
If he didn’t save him, he would die.
Ren Li stood up and turned to walk away.
“Mom…”
Tang Xincheng grabbed Ren Li’s hand.
“Mom, please agree, will you?
With Sis around, I won’t get hurt.”
However, Ren Li yanked her hand away and left without paying any attention to her son.
Tang Xincheng’s face fell; his mother disagreed.
He had only just prepared himself and decided to go through with this, but now his mother wouldn’t consent.
What was he to do?
This was the only holiday he could use, and he feared he couldn’t persuade his mother.
If he couldn’t persuade her this time and the holiday passed, by the time Ren Li finally agreed, he wouldn’t need to donate bone marrow to Wu Liangliang anymore.
By then, he could just send chrysanthemums instead because he would have already joined his grandfather.
Ren Li avoided mentioning it, and of course, now Tang Xincheng found that he was quite scared of Ren Li.
He could only keep his head down and continue to eat.

Even the two little ones seemed to sense that the adults in the house were acting oddly.
They were quiet and well-behaved today, using their little spoons to eat their rice, which was made with eggs they had collected themselves.
“Let’s go, Grandpa will take you for a walk,” Tang Zhinian patted the two little grandsons’ round bellies, which had been filled with too much food.
They needed to digest some of it, though he wished he could stuff all the dishes into their little stomachs.
However, their bellies were so small that stuffing them too much would make them uncomfortable.
He took one grandchild in each hand—Xiaobai and Xiaobai—and when he found a moment alone, he cautiously asked Tang Xincheng.
“What did you do to upset your mother?” She’s been pulling a long face all day.
Tang Xincheng didn’t dare tell.
If he did, he was afraid his dad would scold him.
He stole a glance at Tang Zhinian and noticed that his mood seemed good today.
Should he speak up, or should he keep silent?
He hesitated and was nervous.
“Speak up,” Tang Zhinian sat down and let his grandsons go play on their own.
He picked up the cup that had been set aside.
Inside the cup was his blood-pressure-lowering health tea.
He took some preventative sips to avoid getting too angry later on.
With high blood pressure, he would be scolded by his daughter.
In other aspects, Tang Zhinian could be the sole authority; at home, he was the head of the family.
No one dared to say no to him, but when it came to health, he absolutely had to listen to Tang Yuxin, the doctor in the family.
He took three sips in a row, feeling that his mood was still okay and quite calm.
“Did you do poorly on a test?”
He didn’t think there was anything particularly wrong.
Like the moon with its phases, not every test can be aced, though Tang Yuxin was an exception since she couldn’t be compared to ordinary people.
She was the unique flower born to the honest man, Tang Zhinian.
He scratched his head, feeling that he had done quite well on his exams.
“Did you get into a fight with someone?”
Tang Zhinian took another sip, still maintaining his composure.
“I haven’t gotten into any fights recently.”
Tang Xincheng had been behaving well recently and was peaceful; he hadn’t fought or taught his two little nephews to fight.
“Then what’s the matter?” Tang Zhinian squinted his eyes, “Take advantage of your dad’s good mood and tell me.”
Tang Xincheng scratched his head again, making sure his father truly was in a good mood.
He quickly crouched down and began to rub Tang Zhinian’s legs obsequiously.
“Dad, how about I donate bone marrow to Wu Liang?”
Unexpectedly, his father didn’t react with anger as he thought he would.
He hadn’t pointed to the door and said “In your dreams.”
Tang Zhinian sipped his health tea, gently exhaling a breath of stale air from his lungs, confirming that his mood was indeed not bad today.
“Have you really decided?” Tang Zhinian asked his son again, “Are you not afraid of the pain?”
“Not afraid.”
Tang Xincheng continued to massage Tang Zhinian’s legs, “The pain from the first time has already happened.
I’m not afraid of feeling it a second time.
Besides, I’m a man, how can I be afraid of pain?
If I were, I wouldn’t be a man.”
Tang Zhinian tapped his son’s head, “You’re not even fully grown yet, and you’re talking about being a man?”
“Why have you suddenly decided to save him?”
