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

Summary of the Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

It’s always been awkward, maybe even strained, ever since Lu Ming found out his biological father, Lu Yaohua, actually ditched the whole family years ago. He abandoned his own wife and child before jumping into another relationship. For eighteen long years, Lu Ming grew up without knowing him, feeling neither kinship nor connection.

And things just got worse when news broke that their mother had passed away too. Now here comes Lu Yaohua with a stepmother – together they show up at Lu Ming's doorstep demanding he gives them a kidney for their half-brother who needs a transplant urgently.

Their pitch? Shockingly blunt and selfish. "We're family, right?" says Lu Yaohua, framing it like saving the kid is his civic duty, forgetting that Lu Ming has zero such feelings or ties with him.

The stepmother chimes in almost immediately: "You’re supposed to help Ze, your older brother! He’s dying!" It feels less like compassion and more like pressure. She even throws a bribe on the table – 10 million yuan – suggesting they’ll pay him if he agrees.

But Lu Ming isn't biting that angle either. His half-brother's desperation doesn’t automatically make it his responsibility, especially when this so-called father is the one orchestrating the whole thing.

The younger brother adds fuel to the fire with a curse: "Heck! I would never have agreed if the donor center has a kidney for him!" It feels like he’s saying Lu Ming was too easy pickings or something.

Faced down by accusations, threats of familial duty, and financial temptation from his father and stepmother, Lu Ming pulls out his phone. He knows what this is about: saving Ze at all costs.

He doesn't have that kind of brotherly debt with them, especially not under these circumstances. The offer feels like a joke – Lu Yaohua clearly didn’t learn anything from their mother being abandoned or neglected over the years.

So he stares them down, maybe cold enough for an AI to freeze too. His response is sharp, cutting through the usual family negotiation noise.

"I don't owe you any brotherly loyalty," he says firmly, "nor do I consider this place my home." He adds a final line that shuts it all down: "Get lost!"
