“Uh huh. Just focus on your studies and don’t worry about it,” said Song Qi.
“Got it,” answered Song Qi mildly. “Oh yes. How is Grandpa doing? Have you found a matching bone marrow for him yet?”
The moment Ji Ya brought this up, Song Qi sighed. “Nope. No one in the system is a match.”
Ji Ya went quiet for two seconds and said, “Isn’t there a higher success rate in finding a match among his next of kin?”
Song Qi instantly replied. “Just stay out of the matter regarding your grandfather’s condition.”
Ji Ya lowered her eyes, looking at the book on her lap. “Mom, it is perfectly safe to donate bone marrow. All it takes is a short period of recuperation. Why don’t I go over to the hospital and give it a shot? Just what if my bone marrow is a match?”
“That won’t do. You are young and have an active life. How can your body tolerate it? I know you are just being thoughtful, but I will never approve of it. Just stop thinking about it. You hear me?”
Song Qi sounded firm. She had witnessed people undergoing bone marrow donation. The pain was excruciating, so she was adamant about not letting her daughter undergo the procedure.
Even if Song Qi’s bone marrow was not a match for her father, she did not want her daughter to get tested for it.
Ji Ya leaned into her seat the moment she heard her mother and said softly, “I am young, so I will definitely recover quickly. That is the reason I really want to get tested. Grandpa has always been kind to me. How could I stand by and do nothing when he is sick?”
“We aren’t desperate enough to use your bone marrow yet. I have other means to get matching bone marrow. Just drop it, okay? I just want you to be healthy and strong,” said Song Qi.
Ji Ya stopped talking about it. She looked out of the car window at Tsing University’s entrance. “Fine! Mom, I have to go. I have already reached school.”
Song Qi felt relieved. “Uh huh. Go on.”
Before long, she hung up the phone. She lowered her eyes for some time before she called for her trusted subordinate, Zhu.
“Go and find out what faculty Ning’s daughter is studying at.” Song Qi looked at Zhu as she slowly spun her phone in her hand.
Zhu was the butler who had gone to City S with Song Qi in search of Song Ning previously. He nodded reverently as he answered. “Sure thing. I will get to it right away.”
Song Qi pondered before she said, “Once you find out, make an appointment with her. I want to see her as soon as possible.”
“Uh huh. I recall Tsing University is conducting military training for their freshmen, so they won’t be able to leave campus at the time. I am not sure if they are done yet,” replied Zhu.
Song Qi promptly said, “Then get it done after the military training.”
“I understand,” acknowledged Zhu softly.
“Oh yes. When you talk to Ning’s daughter, don’t tell her that Ya is in Tsing University as well,” added Song Qi.
Zhu glanced at Song Qi quizzically.
Song Qi said in disdain, “I am afraid Ning’s daughter might throw herself at Ji Ya. After all, Ya is doing so well at school.”
Zhu thought about the first time he saw Huo Yao at City S two months ago. Huo Yao was rude and acted like a country bumpkin. He shook his head and replied to Song Qi. “I understand. I will take care of it.”
“Don’t tell Ya about Ning’s daughter either,” added Song Qi with a mild expression on her face.
Since they did not belong in the same world, there was no need for her daughter to know about these irrelevant people. Moreover, Song Ning had already severed ties with the Song family years ago.
“Uh huh.” Zhu nodded after getting the order.
