Chapter 4: Meager Escape
Chapter 4: Meager Escape
Pei Xin woke up on a hospital bed. The scene before her eyes was pure white. Pei Xin sat up and touched her waist. After confirming that the surgery had not been carried out, she heaved a sigh of relief.
That was great. She was still alive and in one piece.
However, her fate was still in the hands of others and she could not make the decision herself. Sooner or later, they would take out her kidney and give it to Ling Xue.
The image of her child appeared in her mind. Pei Xin\'s eyes, which were originally filled with self-pity, became firm. She pulled off the infusion tube in her hand and jumped out of the window when there was no one in the ward.
She was glad that Ling Xue was afraid of heights, that was why she was to stay in the ward on the first floor.
Pei Xin\'s escape had obviously angered the Pei Family. Pei Yu frustratingly kicked the chair over, "This little b*tch, I told you that pitying her would do us no good. I can\'t believe she ran away! She won\'t be able to get far before we get her back."
Ling Xue was obviously shocked. She pouted and buried her head in Shen Wei\'s arms. "It\'s all my fault, it\'s because I forced her to leave. I shouldn\'t have told the truth back then. This whole situation would not have happened if I just shut my mouth in the first place."
These words were skillfully crafted and spoken. It showed that she was being kind but also cleverly called out Pei Xin\'s evil intentions. Comparing the two women, it made people want to stand against Pei Xin.
Ling Xue was the mastermind behind many crafts. Although she had returned to the Pei family, she was still called Ling Xue.
Externally, she said that she was grateful to the Ling family for raising her, but in reality, she was just reminding the Pei family of the fact that she had been swapped out of their home for 20 years, reminding them that Pei Xin had taken over 20 years of her happy life away.
Her words were effective. Pei Yu\'s eyes turned red as he turned around and was about to leave. "I\'m going to get that little b*tch right now. If the hospital is unwilling to operate on her, then I\'ll let the black market handle her. As long as the money is good, someone out there will be willing to do it."
"Stop right there!" Pei Yuan slammed the table hard. "Look at you. All you can think of is illegal and criminal methods. Are you a gang member?"
Pei Yuan did not hit him, but his words were very intimidating. Pei Yu wanted to refute, but he could only swallow his words back into his stomach.
"Lu Li, Pei Yu is impulsive. She must not have gone far knowing she doesn\'t have a plan. Go and find out where she went. Once she\'s found, make sure she gets the rightful rest she needs so that she can be healthy enough for the surgery." Pei Yuan said to Lu Li when Pei Yu was silently clenching his fists.
"I..." Thinking of the skinny Pei Xin, Lu Li hesitated.
"Lu Li, don\'t forget why she got into a car accident in the first place." Pei Yu saw Lu Li\'s hesitation and said coldly.
"I understand." Lu Li looked at Ling Xue who was busy moping and left the ward.
Although Ling Xue had been buried in Shen Wei\'s arms weeping, she could see all of Lu Li\'s reaction. She couldn\'t help but clench her fingers and her sharp nails dug into her palms.
"Dad, how can you let Lu Li leave? Have you forgotten what happened back then... Although I didn\'t mean to do it on purpose, it\'s obvious that Pei Xin hates me. If she exaggerates and complains to Lu Li, Lu Li might not want to marry me!"
Pei Yu spoke first, "As if he would dare to do such a thing. Don\'t worry. Pei Xin has already made Lu Li a joke in the upper-class circle. No one would believe him. Moreover, with that little brat still around, Pei Xin won\'t dare to act recklessly."
After hearing all of that, only then did Ling Xue smile.
\'Curse that b*tch and her d*mn mother. If it weren\'t for them, I would have grown up in the best environment and Lu Li would have been mine. Since Pei Xin took everything from me, there is no way I\'d let her off that easily.\'
Five years passed and yet the hatred she harbored grew stronger each day.
Ling Xue promised that she would make Pei Xin die a horrible death!
Pei Xin came out of the hospital and ran all the way to a remote place.
She did not have any money on her, so she could only rely on her willpower to keep walking.
Pei Xin didn\'t know how long she had walked before she arrived at a residential area at the edge of the city. There were not many people in this area. Trash was carelessly thrown everywhere and the walls were stained with ambiguous gunk. There were only a few small houses that were still intact.
"Pei Xin!" In a dilapidated house, a man shouted excitedly when he saw Pei Xin and walked over quickly.
