This weekend, Tan Mo was in a particularly good mood.

When Qiao Lan went back to school on Sunday, he wanted Qiao Lan to give up on school and stay at home.

Qiao Lan rejected him righteously.

Qiao Lan did some simple calculations. Ever since she started dating Tan Mo, Qiao Lan had done a total of three papers this weekend. Other than that, she hadn't done anything else.

Based on her usual progress over the weekend, Qiao Lan could finish at least six sets of papers and go through one of the subjects briefly.

Therefore, it was reasonable to say that the school prohibited puppy love.

It delayed her studies too much and consumed her willpower.

She couldn't go on like this.

She swore that she would go to the top university and get a six-figure scholarship.

Since Qiao Lan rejected him because of her studies, Tan Mo couldn't find any reason to refute.

If it was in the past when they were learning new knowledge, Tan Mo could ask Qiao Lan to come back so that he could give Qiao Lan tutoring. However, now that they were in the late third year of high school, they didn't need to learn new knowledge anymore. Instead, they had to do questions over and over again to consolidate their old knowledge. Qiao Lan didn't need Tan Mo's one-on-one tutoring anymore.

Tan Mo felt that Qiao Lan was too much. How could she say something like 'I'd rather do a paper than play with you?'.

In the end, they had no choice but to send Qiao Lan back to school before the Sunday evening self-study session.

When only Tan Mo and Uncle Chen were in the car after sending Qiao Lan back, Uncle Chen talked about other things that couldn't be heard by Qiao Lan.

It was about the Qiao family.

It was easy for Uncle Chen to find Qiao Yuan's parents. With Uncle Chen's methods, it was too easy for him to find out about this family. When he helped Qiao Yuan, it was Uncle Chen who took the initiative to contact the Qiao family.

However, after Qiao Yuan's operation, Uncle Chen disappeared. Uncle Chen and Tan Mo had a thorough understanding of the Qiao family, but Father Qiao and Mother Qiao didn't even know Tan Mo's name, let alone Tan Mo's background.

Uncle Chen had cut off contact with Father and Mother Qiao. As long as Uncle Chen and Tan Mo didn't want to, Father and Mother Qiao wouldn't be able to find them.

It had been more than a month since Qiao Yuan was discharged from the hospital. During this time, the Qiao family had not given up looking for Tan Mo.

Tan Mo paid for the surgery, and the rest of the medicine was paid for by the Qiao family.

That was why it was said that people were always different. Some people were insatiably greedy and took other people's good intentions as their own.

He was referring to the Qiao family.

Tan Mo paid the most money, and it was reasonable to say that a normal person would be grateful. However, when it came to the Qiao family, it was different. In Old Lady Joe's words, since Tan Mo could casually take out a few hundred thousand, then he wouldn't be short of a few hundred thousand.

Since he wasn't short of money, he might as well take it out.

Moreover, Old Lady Joe now firmly believed that the closure of Father and Mother Qiao's small restaurant had something to do with Tan Mo. Tan Mo had caused them to become like this, so Tan Mo had to take responsibility.

It was obvious that she was the one who needed his help, but she acted as if she was the one who was in the right.

Unfortunately, the Qiao family aggressively prepared to find Tan Mo to seek justice, but they couldn't find Tan Mo at all.

In the end, Father and Mother Qiao were still a little scared. Although Tan Mo's warning was absurd, it involved their own son, so they couldn't help but be a little more careful.

However, they couldn't find Tan Mo. Seeing that the small restaurant had been rented out by someone else and that there was no hope for them to make money, and that the follow-up of Qiao Yuan's illness required far more money than they had imagined, Father and Mother Qiao finally turned their attention to Qiao Lan.

Elder Sister Qiao, who had returned home to visit Qiao Yuan, couldn't understand why Father and Mother Qiao still wanted to look for Qiao Lan. The Qiao family was considered a poor household. After Qiao Yuan's serious illness, the government's medical insurance compensation was a lot of money, so the Qiao family wasn't that short of money for the time being. Moreover, Qiao Lan had already left the Qiao family's household registration. The Qiao family's condition for helping Qiao Yuan was that they weren't allowed to disturb Qiao Lan again. In the end, after receiving Qiao Lan's favor, they broke the contract.

Elder Sister Qiao couldn't help but say a few words, but she was rebutted by Old Lady Joe.

Old Lady Joe said that Elder Sister Qiao was a married woman and was no longer a member of the Qiao family, so she had nothing to do with it.

Elder Sister Qiao suddenly wondered why she was still thinking about these people.

Just like Old Lady Joe said, she was already married and no longer a member of the Qiao family. What happened to the Qiao family had nothing to do with her.

Elder Sister Qiao's mother-in-law always scolded her for being soft-hearted and lacking in ambition. Elder Sister Qiao kept rebuking her. After all, they were her biological parents. However, after repeated such things, Elder Sister Qiao suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

She could do whatever she wanted.

She absolutely, truly, didn't want to care about anything that happened to the Qiao family in the future.

Hence, the last Qiao family member who still had some morals left. Under Old Lady Joe's urging, Father and Mother Qiao started to think of ways to look for Qiao Lan again.

However, because of the Qiao Yuan incident, the school's security guards remembered Father and Mother Qiao. Almost the entire school knew that this couple had kidnapped their outstanding daughter to the hospital for a kidney transplant for their son. The security guards guarded against Father and Mother Qiao as if they were thieves.

Mother Qiao couldn't enter the school at all, so she never saw Qiao Lan.

Tan Mo and Uncle Chen saw everything. They didn't stop or add fuel to the fire. They quietly waited for the Qiao family to commit suicide.

However, before Father and Mother Qiao could commit suicide, the Qiao family was the first to fall into chaos.

Uncle Chen told Tan Mo that Qiao Yuan had a big fight with the family and ran away.

Qiao Yuan was finally discharged from the hospital. Every day, Father and Mother Qiao took good care of him. After all, people who had undergone kidney transplants needed very high-quality rest. After more than a month of recuperation, he finally returned to school.

However, when Qiao Yuan returned, everything changed.

Not only did his good friends ignore him, the girl Qiao Yuan had liked for so long was disgusted when she saw him.

Only then did Qiao Yuan find out that when he was hospitalized, Mother Qiao came to school every day to make a fuss. She scolded all the boys who were close to Qiao Yuan, as if they had caused him to fall and injure himself. That wasn't enough. The worst was the girl. Mother Qiao directly scolded the girl for not studying well and seduced Qiao Yuan. Otherwise, Qiao Yuan wouldn't have gone to play basketball for no reason and ended up in the hospital.

Not only did he use such ugly words to insult the girl, but he also took the opportunity to extort money. Anyone would feel disgusted if they were in his shoes.

Moreover, the girl didn't have a good impression of Qiao Yuan. Everyone liked boys who were good-looking and good at studying. Qiao Yuan was a perfect example of a bad example.

Qiao Yuan was a person who stole money from his family time and time again for the sake of the girl he liked and his so-called good friends. It was obvious how vain he was.

It wasn't easy for him to build up the 'good relationship' with the girl. It wasn't easy for him to make the girl smile at him. In the end, it was all ruined by his own mother.

Although Mother Qiao did everything for Qiao Yuan's sake.

Qiao Yuan didn't care.

Qiao Yuan couldn't stand it when he thought of the girl he liked hating him. No one spoke to him in the classroom. Almost everyone in school knew that Mother Qiao asked Qiao Yuan to get a kidney transplant for him. Everywhere he went, people would say that he was Qiao Yuan's younger brother.

In just two days, Qiao Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.

When he returned home, he refused to go to school no matter what.

Although Father Qiao and Mother Qiao doted on Qiao Yuan, they spent a lot of money on tuition for Qiao Yuan. It was obvious that they valued their son's studies. In the end, Qiao Yuan refused to go to school. This time, Father Qiao and Mother Qiao didn't indulge Qiao Yuan anymore.

Father Qiao and Mother Qiao didn't agree. Qiao Yuan was already angry with Mother Qiao. If it wasn't for Mother Qiao, he wouldn't have ended up in this state where everyone hated him. If it wasn't for Mother Qiao, the girl he liked wouldn't hate him so much.

Mother Qiao wholeheartedly did everything for Qiao Yuan. She didn't expect her son to hate her so much. He was angry and sad and scolded her for who she was doing this for.

The more Mother Qiao acted like this, the more Qiao Yuan felt that Mother Qiao was just like what everyone said: uncultured and uncultured. She was a living example of a shrew.

Qiao Yuan used to hate Mother Qiao because Old Lady Qiao always said that Mother Qiao was uncultured. But now, he was using the same words to insult his own mother.

Mother Qiao was dumbfounded and stood there, unable to say a word.

Mother Qiao slapped Qiao Yuan hard in the face.

In the end, Uncle Chen and Tan Mo said, "Qiao Yuan ran away directly. He took the twenty thousand yuan and ran away."

Qiao Yuan was a habitual thief, but this was definitely the largest amount he had ever stolen. He took almost all the cash that the Qiao family could find.

Tan Mo sneered.

He hadn't even done anything, but the Qiao family was already in a mess.

This was good.

Tan Mo helped Qiao Lan leave the Qiao family, but he never told Qiao Lan that he wasn't going to let the Qiao family go.

Although the Qiao family didn't have a bottom line, they were still Qiao Lan's family. Tan Mo was also worried that if he went too far, Qiao Lan would find out about it later.

There were some things that Tan Mo hoped that Qiao Lan would never find out.

For example, he had threatened Xiang Xiaohan, he had bankrupted the Luo family, and he had planned to destroy the kidney that he had inserted into Qiao Yuan's body.

In places that Qiao Lan didn't know, Tan Mo had done a lot of shady things.

Qiao Lan always thought that he was sunny and pure, but in reality, he wasn't.

This was a dark side that Qiao Lan would never like. Tan Mo would never let Qiao Lan find out.

Tan Mo had already made arrangements for Qiao Yuan's matter, but now that Qiao Yuan had dug his own grave and given him a chance, Tan Mo felt a lot more relaxed.

For someone like Qiao Yuan, he didn't even need to do anything. He could play himself to death.

Qiao Lan had no idea what was going on. Uncle Chen had people watching Qiao Lan's parents very closely. Qiao Lan's parents didn't even have the chance to come into contact with Qiao Lan.

Moreover, Qiao Lan's parents didn't have the time to extort money from Qiao Lan.

Their beloved son had run away.

Old Lady Joe cried and scolded Qiao Yuan's mother. She said that if Qiao Lan's mother hadn't slapped Qiao Yuan, Qiao Yuan wouldn't have run away like this.

"How can he live alone outside?" Old Lady Joe cried until her eyes were swollen.

She thought about how her grandson wasn't even 16 years old. He was still an insensible child who had never left his parents' side. She didn't even know where he was now.

She thought about how Qiao Yuan had only been discharged from the hospital for a month. After the kidney transplant, he would need at least three to four months to recuperate. During these three to four months, he would need to take medicine properly and pay attention to his diet.

In the end, Qiao Yuan didn't even bring his medicine when he ran away.

The doctor said that people who had just undergone surgery must recuperate properly and mustn't bump into anything. The new kidney was more fragile than the old one. Moreover, if it was accidentally infected, it might cause kidney failure.

The more Qiao Lan's mother thought about it, the more she regretted it. Even though she was so angry at Qiao Yuan that she cried for an entire night, she didn't care at all after her son ran away.

As long as Qiao Yuan could come back healthy, it didn't matter if he didn't study.

This time, she really didn't do anything. She only lived every day looking for her son.

She looked for him herself and even spent money to hire people to look for him. She spent large amounts of money on newspapers and television, but there was no news.

After more than a month, Qiao Lan's father no longer looked fat. Qiao Lan's mother also looked like she had aged a few years.

At this time, there was finally news from Qiao Yuan.

It was a call from a city that was nearly a thousand kilometers away. They said that Qiao Yuan was hospitalized and asked his family to hurry over.

Qiao Lan's mother, who had been worried for more than a month, fainted on the spot.

Qiao Yuan was hospitalized because he was beaten up. Even though he had been hospitalized for a short period of time before that.

Qiao Yuan's family took good care of him not long after his surgery. Qiao Yuan felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, so he boldly didn't bring any medicine.

Old Lady Joe's mother followed the doctor's instructions and gave Qiao Yuan protein supplements. He didn't eat greasy or salty food, and his appetite was strictly controlled because obesity was dangerous.

Qiao Yuan was fat and loved to eat. For more than a month, he had been eating plain soup and water. When he finally went out, he didn't know what his taboos were. Not only did he eat and drink, but he also ate greasy and heavy food every meal. In less than two weeks, he had diarrhea, high fever, vomiting, and other symptoms. In the end, he became severely dehydrated and was hospitalized for a few days.

The hospital used a lot of money, and Qiao Yuan only brought 20,000 yuan with him. He was also used to using money to make friends by treating people to meals. The new friends he made looked at Qiao Yuan every day and deliberately supported him to eat with Qiao Yuan. In a few days, he had spent half of his 20,000 yuan.

After he was hospitalized and had less money, Qiao Yuan started to pay attention. However, he was still an immature child who had never left home. Others thought that he was stupid and easy to bully, and his money was gone in a few days.

If he followed bad people, it was easy to become like him. Not to mention, Qiao Yuan was spoiled by his family.

In the past, Qiao Yuan's family didn't blame him for stealing money. In fact, they even gave him more pocket money to prevent him from stealing money from the family.

After Qiao Yuan stole money once, there was a second time, a third time, and a fourth time. Later on, the Qiao family couldn't control him anymore.

However, he stole money from the family. No matter how angry the family was, they wouldn't really hurt Qiao Yuan. However, Qiao Yuan eventually brought this bad habit into society.

Without money and not wanting to find a job, Qiao Yuan didn't hesitate and went on the path of stealing.

He stole money from the so-called good friends he had recently made. Before he could spend the money, he was caught.

After a quarrel, a few young men took action. Qiao Yuan, who had just undergone surgery, shattered after a few hits.

The kidney transplant was placed in the iliac fossa. It was relatively shallow from the body surface. The surface was only the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle layer. It lacked the cushioning effect of the kidney fat sac, so it was very easy to be injured when pressed by external forces.

This was because the protection of the kidney transplant should be strengthened. The doctor previously said that even if he was in a car, he should choose the seat carefully to prevent the kidney transplant from colliding with other objects when the car made a turn or braked suddenly. It was obvious how fragile the kidney transplant was.

In the end, Qiao Yuan was beaten up. By the time the few people realized that something was wrong, Qiao Yuan had already fainted.

Only then did the few young men become afraid. They hurriedly took the money and ran away. A kind person passing by called an ambulance and sent Qiao Yuan to the hospital.

The call that Qiao Yuan's parents received was from the hospital.

Qiao Yuan's kidney, which had just been replaced for less than two months, was damaged again. Although it wasn't shattered, it was a foregone conclusion that his kidney would dry up.

Moreover, if he had to undergo surgery again, it would be a great loss to his vitality.

After changing to another hospital, the doctor said the same thing to Qiao Yuan's parents. The doctor told them that they didn't have to worry too much. One kidney could still maintain a basic life. As long as it was well protected, there wouldn't be any difference between them and an ordinary person.

Last time, Qiao Yuan's mother could still make a scene in the hospital. She didn't even want to think about it and said that she would do anything for her son. But now, after experiencing this, and now that the family didn't have any source of income, Qiao Yuan's mother didn't dare to say anything.

Qiao Yuan's father hesitated and said that they should not look for Tan Mo. If they really couldn't, they could look for Qiao Lan. However, Qiao Yuan's mother suddenly remembered the sinister words of the young man a few months ago.

That young man said that if they dared to look for Qiao Lan again, they would take out the kidney in the same way that they had put Qiao Lan's kidney in the first place.

Qiao Yuan's mother immediately shuddered.

She couldn't help but think about it because she had gone to look for Qiao Lan more than once. Although she didn't see him, she was indeed looking for him.

The scariest thing was that Qiao Yuan's new kidney was taken out of the operating room again.

Qiao Yuan's mother didn't dare to think about whether or not it was Tan Mo who had done it.

She didn't dare to ask Tan Mo and couldn't find Tan Mo. She could only throw a tantrum with the police and insist on finding out the truth about her son's injury. In the end, the truth came out. Her son had stolen someone else's money, which was why he had been beaten and sent to the hospital.

It wasn't that someone had beaten up Qiao Yuan for no reason. It was that he had made the mistake first. A few hooligans who had been caught and sent to the police station insisted that Qiao Yuan had stolen their money. They even said that they had treated Qiao Yuan very well. In the end, Qiao Yuan turned around and refused to admit it.

Qiao Yuan's mother didn't dare to make a scene anymore. If she made a scene, Qiao Yuan would still be in the hospital, but he would have a criminal record that could never be erased.

The Qiao family finally collapsed completely because of their excessive love for their son, the wrong way of educating him, and their insatiable greed.

At the moment, the affiliated high school was very quiet. Qiao Lan didn't know anything either.

Tan Mo didn't mention a word to Qiao Lan.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the college entrance exam was getting closer. Qiao Lan, who had experienced the exam twice, couldn't help but feel more and more nervous.

After the last mock exam, Qiao Lan got the best score ever. She was only 20 minutes behind Tan Mo.

The head teacher, who had lost a lot of weight recently, patted Qiao Lan's shoulder happily and said that as long as Qiao Lan performed well, she would definitely be able to get into a B major.

Qiao Lan looked at the countdown timer, which had turned into a single digit, and became even more nervous.

Qiao Lan didn't know if students who had repeated the exam would be more nervous for the second time, but she was just too nervous.

In the last few days of the exam, the teachers were still busy explaining the exam papers. They couldn't wait to stuff everything they knew into the students' heads. They didn't stop teaching until the last day of the exam. They gave the students a mental preparation session again and again.

Tan Mo listened to the head teacher's speech absent-mindedly. Suddenly, he froze and lowered his head.

Qiao Lan held Tan Mo's hand and looked at him with bright eyes.

"Good luck!"
