Mother Qiao made too much of a ruckus, causing many students to come out to watch. Bai Yu and a few other students who were close to her rushed out of the classroom. Even the homeroom teacher and the other teachers in the office hurriedly followed them out.

A few teachers rushed forward and shielded Qiao Lan behind them, then quickly informed the security guards. The security guards hurried over and prepared to pull the noisy Mother Qiao away.

Mother Qiao pointed at Qiao Lan and scolded her as she tore at the security guards. She scolded her for being heartless and not helping her. She said that if it weren't for her parents who gave her such a beautiful face and such a smart brain, she wouldn't have the life she had today.

The security guards tried their best to pull Mother Qiao away, but they were accidentally scratched by her a few times.

The surrounding students discussed animatedly. Qiao Lan stood quietly and stared in Mother Qiao's direction without moving.

Mother Qiao finally left. The homeroom teacher and the others turned around and saw Qiao Lan in Tan Mo's arms.

"Cough cough." The homeroom teacher, who was about to speak, suddenly felt very awkward. Although he had already turned a blind eye to Qiao Lan and Tan Mo's little romance, he still felt that he had to do something in front of so many students.

"Erm, Qiao Lan." The homeroom teacher coughed again. "Come to the office later."

Only then did Qiao Lan realize that she was in Tan Mo's arms. Mother Qiao's arrival made her feel very tired, but the chest pressed against her back gave her a rare sense of security. At this moment, Qiao Lan really wanted to stay in Tan Mo's arms forever.

Unfortunately, she couldn't, and the surrounding environment didn't allow it.

Qiao Lan wasn't the real Qiao Lan in the book, nor was she the real daughter of the Qiao family. However, Mother Qiao's actions today still made her so angry that she lost control of her emotions.

What right did people like them have to be parents?

No, they were indeed parents who wholeheartedly cared for their children. They would do anything for Qiao Yuan. However, other than Qiao Yuan, their other daughters weren't even considered their own children in their hearts.

A kidney transplant was such a ridiculous thing, yet Madam Qiao could say it with a straight face.

Qiao Lan followed the head teacher to the office, leaving behind a group of students who were discussing animatedly and Tan Mo, whose eyes were fixed on her.

When Qiao Lan came out of the homeroom teacher's office, the teachers in the office were so angry that their lungs hurt. The homeroom teacher couldn't stand it no matter how he thought about it. He remembered that Qiao Mu seemed to have left her phone number with him when she looked for Qiao Lan, so he turned around and called Qiao Mu to persuade her.

In the end, she was scolded back by Mother Qiao. Mother Qiao kept saying that it was none of her business. She even said that the homeroom teacher was a busybody. The homeroom teacher hung up the phone and cursed. How could such a good child like Qiao Lan have such f * cking parents?

The students didn't know what had happened, but after two days, almost all the students who were in the know heard that Mother Qiao had tried to sneak into the school to look for Qiao Lan. Just like Mother Qiao had said, if she didn't succeed, then she would definitely make Qiao Lan suffer as well.

After Mother Qiao met Qiao Yuan, she was like a lunatic. Moreover, because of Qiao Lan's rejection, she unilaterally believed that Qiao Lan would definitely be compatible with Qiao Yuan, so her behavior became more and more radical.

It just so happened that during this period of time, the third year of high school was tutoring, so the school's security wasn't as good as before. Mother Qiao had taken advantage of two loopholes, so she couldn't get in. She also found out Qiao Lan's phone number from somewhere, and Qiao Lan's other close friend's number in the dormitory. She either called or texted every day.

Qiao Lan didn't mind being harassed, but she couldn't tolerate disturbing others because of her own business. This was especially so for Xiang Xiaohan. Originally, she had a problem with Qiao Lan, but recently, she took the opportunity to talk back to Qiao Lan, saying that she couldn't handle her own business properly and that Mother Qiao had disturbed her studies.

At first, no one knew what had happened. Some students who weren't friendly with Qiao Lan even believed Mother Qiao's words and thought that Qiao Lan was unfilial and unrighteous. They said that Qiao Lan's character wasn't up to standard.

Later, when Mother Qiao made a lot of noise, everyone finally knew the whole story. From then on, no one said anything bad about Qiao Lan.

It was simply incomprehensible that Qiao Lan would donate her kidney for her biological brother. Many people lamented that Qiao Lan had such parents.

The students in Class 18 knew a little more. For example, everyone in Qiao Lan's dormitory knew that Qiao Lan's family hadn't given Qiao Lan a single cent for two years. Qiao Lan earned all her tuition fees by working.

Hao Ying remembered the reason Qiao Lan had rejected him. He said that she didn't have the time and effort to date him. She didn't live as easy as he imagined. At that time, Hao Ying didn't understand the meaning behind it, but now he finally understood.

Qiao Lan's life was far more difficult than he imagined. When Chen Yaoyang found out about this, he was silent for a long time.

Qiao Lan's classmates who had a good relationship with Qiao Lan began to think of ways to persuade Qiao Lan. Some told her to ignore it, some told her to call the police, and some said that she should go to the hospital to try. She might not be a match at all.

However, they were immediately refuted by others.

If she wasn't a match, then everything would be fine. But what if she was a match?

Wouldn't that be pushing Qiao Lan into a fire pit?

Calling the police wouldn't work at all. Mother Qiao was Qiao Lan's relative. The police wouldn't care about these things. Also, don't care about Mother Qiao. How could they not care? Mother Qiao was like a lunatic now. Qiao Lan only had half a year left in the third year of high school. If Mother Qiao continued to cause trouble, Qiao Lan's learning efficiency would be greatly affected.

It was precisely because of Qiao Lan and Mother Qiao's unbreakable blood relationship that this matter became more and more difficult to deal with.

One day, when Chen Yaoyang brushed past her, Chen Yaoyang suddenly called out to Qiao Lan. Qiao Lan stopped in her tracks. Chen Yaoyang looked at her for a long time before saying, "If you need help … or money, you can look for me."

Qiao Lan was slightly surprised.

Chen Yaoyang's attitude towards Qiao Lan was too bad in the beginning. Qiao Lan had always had a bad impression of Chen Yaoyang. After that, the two of them didn't interact much. Therefore, Qiao Lan didn't expect Chen Yaoyang to suddenly say something like that.

Qiao Lan sincerely thanked Chen Yaoyang, but she still rejected him.

After that, Hao Ying also came to her and said that she could lend her money.

"Isn't your mother short of money for the surgery? I can lend it to you. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing …"

He couldn't afford hundreds of thousands of yuan. His parents were afraid that he would spend money recklessly, so they didn't give him too much. Therefore, Hao Ying had no choice.

Qiao Lan still thanked Hao Ying and rejected him.

She knew that everyone had good intentions, but she didn't like to owe others favors. She didn't like to trouble others, and she didn't like everyone helping her with a pitiful attitude. She hadn't reached a dead end yet.

Qiao Lan wanted to cheer up and listen to the class, but it was still a little difficult. She was really tired.

She buried her head in her arms. Her mind was filled with Mother Qiao's matters.

Qiao Lan thought far more than the others.

Other than the most urgent kidney transplant, Qiao Lan also thought about how to truly sever her relationship with the Qiao family, or think of a way to deprive the Qiao family of her custody and guardianship.

Even if this matter was settled, she couldn't guarantee that the Qiao family would continue to do anything in the future.

If it really didn't work, she could go to the court for help. Although it would take a lot of time and affect her studies, how bad could it get now?

Tan Mo turned to look at Qiao Lan. After thinking for a while, he took out a lollipop from his bag and handed it to Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan took the lollipop and tore open the candy wrapper. The sweet taste filled her entire taste buds.

Qiao Lan exhaled. Her head was still resting on her arms. She turned to Tan Mo and looked at Tan Mo.

"Mo Mo," Qiao Lan called Doctor Tan Mo.

"Mm," Tan Mo looked at her seriously.

"I'm so tired," Qiao Lan said.

She didn't want to show weakness in front of outsiders, but Tan Mo wasn't an outsider to her.

Tan Mo was the most important person to her. He was her closest friend, her closest family member, and also the person she carefully liked in her heart.

Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Qiao Lan had always been alone. She didn't have parents, she didn't have anyone to rely on, and she never relied on others. The girl who lacked love since she was young knew that it was always better to rely on oneself than on others.

But here, she met Tan Mo, the boy who used to be protected and relied on by her. Now that he had grown taller, she didn't know when he had slowly changed. Qiao Lan realized how much she relied on Tan Mo.

Qiao Lan remembered a few days ago when Tan Mo held her in his arms. She felt that there was nothing behind her, and if she took a step back, she would fall into darkness. But at that moment, Tan Mo appeared behind her.

She took a step back, but it wasn't darkness behind her, it was a warm chest.

Just like now, she was really tired. She didn't want to show weakness in front of others, but she wanted to do so in front of Tan Mo. This boy who was clearly a few years younger than her was now the only person she could rely on.

She wanted to hug him like last time, or she wanted him to touch her. Qiao Lan knew that her imagination was running wild again, but she couldn't control it.

When a person was weak, they needed warmth and support too much.

Qiao Lan looked straight at Tan Mo. Just as she was about to say something, Tan Mo suddenly reached out his hand.

His warm hand moved up Qiao Lan's line of sight, and finally landed on Qiao Lan's hair.

Tan Mo gently stroked Qiao Lan's hair. He was gentle and serious.

"If you're tired, close your eyes and rest," Tan Mo said. "It's okay."

It's okay.

If you're tired, close your eyes and rest.

You have me for everything.

The boy looked at the girl's face with warmth and pity. Everyone could tell at a glance that he liked her from the bottom of his heart. However, after leaving the school, everything disappeared, and only a haze was left in his eyes.

Uncle Chen drove in the front and said to Tan Mo, "I've already contacted them."

Tan Mo nodded and looked down at the time. It was 5: 48 in the afternoon. There were still 42 minutes until the appointed time.

After eating leisurely, Tan Mo arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet someone at 6: 30 pm.

It was a high-end restaurant that Qiao Lan's parents had never been to in their lives.

The best thing about this place was that it was quiet and confidential.

Qiao Lan's parents looked at the exquisite and gorgeous decorations around them, then looked at the shockingly expensive dishes on the menu. They were so scared that they didn't dare to move.

6: 30 pm passed, and it was a long time since the appointed time. It was almost 7 pm when two people finally walked in.

One was a very good-looking young man who was about the same age as Qiao Lan, and the other was a middle-aged man who followed behind the young man.

Qiao Lan's parents hurriedly stood up and said flatteringly, "I didn't expect the person who contacted us to be so young and handsome …"

Tan Mo glanced at Qiao Lan's parents with a faint smile. Qiao Lan's parents couldn't flatter him anymore. Qiao Lan's father gave Qiao Lan's mother a look. Qiao Lan's mother couldn't wait and said carefully, "That … You said that you can help us find a suitable kidney for Yuan 'er, and you even helped us pay for it. You're not joking, right?"

Tan Mo looked up. "You're not coming if I'm joking?"

"That's definitely not a joke!"

Qiao Lan's mother hurriedly said, "Aiyo, I told you that I, Yuan 'er, will be blessed by the heavens. There are so many good people in this world. I'm really, really grateful to you."

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me," Tan Mo said lightly. "I can help you, but there's a condition."

"What condition?"

Tan Mo looked up and looked at the couple who couldn't hide their anxiousness.

The two of them could go to such an extent for their son. When Tan Mo thought of Qiao Lan's helpless and exhausted look, only heartache was left in his heart.

"Give up the custody and custody of Qiao Lan and separate from Qiao Lan," Tan Mo said. "From now on, cut off all ties with Qiao Lan. If you can do it …"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Lan's father had already expressed his stance. "I can do it!"

What's impossible about this!

"Don't worry," Tan Mo lowered his eyes and slowly drank a mouthful of water before continuing, "From now on, no one in your family is allowed to see her or look for her. Disappear from her sight completely. If you can do it, then everyone will be at peace. If you can't do it …"

The young man's light brown eyes narrowed as he enunciated each word clearly.

"If you can't do it, then I'll get someone to dig out the kidney that was placed in your son's body. When the time comes, we'll take it out the same way we put the kidney into your son's body." The young man looked at the couple who were in an uproar and said slowly, "I'm done. Now, you can think about it carefully."
