Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel

Lu Ming's reunion with his biological father, Lu Yaohua, and his stepmother is devoid of warmth. Eighteen years ago, Lu Yaohua had abandoned Lu Ming and his mother to marry his mistress, and had remained absent even during his wife's passing. Now, Lu Ming's father and stepmother appear with a desperate request: their younger son, Lu Ming's half-brother, requires a kidney transplant. Their immediate demand is for Lu Ming to donate a kidney, framing it as his familial duty. Lu Yaohua offers 10 million yuan, while the stepmother cruelly berates Lu Ming, comparing him unfavorably to his mother. The half-brother, surprisingly, expresses regret at the prospect of his father spending money if a donor could be found elsewhere. Faced with their demands and harsh words, Lu Ming, feeling no connection to them, rejects their plea outright. He declares he has no brother or family and orders them to leave. The narrative presents Lu Ming with two potential paths: agreeing to the request and receiving a "halo for enduring humiliation," or refusing and gaining 51% of Wanke Real Estate shares.
