I turned around, only to see my brother on the stage who had never spoken:

"Lin Xiaoxiao, I never expected you to be so heartless. If you don't acknowledge it, we don't care. But you are also our parents' child. Now that Dad is sick, you should also fulfill your filial duty. Just take 1 million first, let us know when you need more."

Heh, I was really amused by this.

Even when I didn't agree to acknowledge the relationship, he had the audacity to ask me for money.

I rolled my eyes, ignored him, and walked away.

"You, stop, who allowed you to leave?"

He rushed over, grabbed my arm forcefully, looking fierce.

His angry appearance seemed like he would strike me if I dared to refuse.

"Girl, your brother is right. No matter what, he is still your father. He is sick, and you have no reason to ignore it."

At this moment, my biological mother cried and chimed in, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing her like this, I felt a wave of disgust.

Indeed, he is my father.

But it was they who abandoned me in the first place, and now they were pressuring me like this?

Which parents would treat their own flesh and blood like this?

Just because they gave me life, does that mean they can control my life and do whatever they want to me?

Don't they know that by doing this, I will be misunderstood, pointed at, and embarrassed by others?

No! They all know.

It's precisely because they know that they act so recklessly.

In the end, the reason is that they simply don't care.

What more can they expect?

Since they abandoned me, I have had no relationship with them.

I only have one set of parents, my foster parents.

"Little sister, please help the family. If we had another choice, we wouldn't come to you."

The eldest sister cried.

"Little sister, you are a graduate student now, you are the only one in the family with a future. If you don't help, who will? Just as the younger brother said, give 1 million first, let Dad get better, then we'll talk."

The second sister spoke as if it were a matter of course.

"Don't pressure our little sister like this. She just needs some time to accept it. She is a good person, she will come around. Let's give her some time, she will understand."

Zhang Xue, my third sister, hypocritically spoke kind words.

"We can give her time, but Dad doesn't have much time left."

The second sister was insistent.

"Girl, I beg you, just save your father this once."

My biological mother was about to kneel down again.

Instinctively, I helped her up, but she insisted on kneeling in front of everyone: "Lin Xiaoxiao, Mom is kneeling, and you still won't agree. Are you trying to kill her?"

My so-called good brother shouted angrily at me.

"You stand up!"

I was getting tired of this, and my tone unintentionally became much harsher.

"No, if you don't agree to help Dad get treatment, I won't get up."

My biological mother remained kneeling.

"Little sister, just agree, after all, we are family."

"Exactly, what's more important, money or Dad? What's wrong with giving some money? You have it anyway."

"I think she's just too heartless."

...

They accused me one after another, surrounded by many staff members holding up their phones to record.

Suddenly, I was furious: "What are you trying to do? If acknowledging the relationship doesn't work, do you want to force me? I am a human being, not a pet or an object. You can't just throw me away when you want to and pick me up when you want to."

Angrily, I questioned, "Do you think kneeling and pressuring me like this will make me yield? Impossible! The law stipulates that once guardianship is terminated, the corresponding rights and obligations are also canceled. If you have the guts, take me to court!"

After angrily speaking, I turned and left.

Thinking that someone had recorded the incident, just in case, I approached the sponsor of the program, copied a segment of the backstage recording after discussing it, and made a copy.

As it turned out, my caution was not unfounded.
