"Don't kill me! Please don't kill me, woo woo..."
It was just a little too rough, scaring Tang Yiyi so much.
If she hadn't controlled her strength, she might have taken out her kidney, and Tang Yiyi would have died on the spot.
Yet, this Tang Yiyi, utterly without strength, had managed to enchant her and steal her kidney.
"Heh."
"Your kidneys are failing. Did Tang Xu not tell you about your condition?"
Tang Yiyi knew her kidneys weren't good, but Tang Xu always said he could cure it.
"You're talking nonsense. Tang Xu can definitely cure me."
Tang Xiaomin nodded.
"Perhaps Tang Xu has that ability."
"However, this time, he'll have to take out your kidneys and then find you a healthy pair to transplant."
"He loves you so much; whoever's kidney you want, he'll take it for you. That's how capable you are."
Tang Yiyi swallowed nervously.
Tang Xiaomin's words had terrified her.
She was a lunatic.
Tang Xiaomin released Tang Yiyi and pushed her, making her look at themselves in the mirror.
"Tang Yiyi, look carefully. We're about the same age, and our physical conditions are quite similar, aren't they?"
"Oh, and I have some more news for you."
"You're not Tang Zhongcheng's daughter at all. Just now, Tang Xu took the paternity test report between you and Tang Zhongcheng and went back to tell everyone."
"You and Tang Xu have nothing to do with each other. I specifically came to tell you this good news. Aren't you happy?"
In the mirror, Tang Yiyi's face was ashen, devoid of any color.
"How is that possible?"
"Tang Xiaomin, you're lying!"
Tang Xiaomin smiled.
"Why don't you ask Tang Xu yourself? No one in the Tang family cares about you anymore, only Tang Xu still loves you. You must cling to this last straw of hope, or how will you survive?"
Tang Yiyi was so shocked she couldn't speak a word.
Just as Tang Xiaomin had said.
If she wasn't a child of the Tang family, then Li Xue's actions were all a deception.
Her brothers would no longer pity her.
Tang Xu had indeed become her last hope.
Tang Xiaomin didn't continue to toy with Tang Yiyi and left the ward.
That evening, Tang Yiyi waited until ten o'clock before Tang Xu returned to the hospital.
He brought food and clothes.
After putting down the items, Tang Xu handed Tang Yiyi an exquisite box.
"I went to the mall and bought you a gift. Open it and see."
Tang Yiyi had questions and was eager to know.
"I have something I want to ask you."
Tang Xu nodded.
"Open it first and then we'll talk."
Tang Yiyi hesitated. She had a faint suspicion about what was inside the beautiful little box.
When she opened it, it was indeed a heart-shaped necklace.
She could barely remember how long it had been since she last received such a gift.
When she was still in the Tang family, she would receive one every few days and took it for granted.
This necklace made Tang Yiyi's defenses crumble. Her nose felt sore, and her eyes welled up.
"Let me help you put it on."
Tang Xu said, taking out the necklace and helping Tang Yiyi put it on.
He even complimented her.
"It suits you very well. Do you like it?"
The current Tang Yiyi was in no position to be picky.
It was good enough that someone gave her a gift.
Tang Yiyi nodded.
Tang Xu seemed hesitant to speak, as if he were concerned about something.
Seeing Tang Xu like that, Tang Yiyi remembered what Tang Xiaomin had told her.
"Tang Xiaomin came to see me today."
"Did she bully you?"
This was Tang Xu's first reaction.
In Tang Xu's heart, Tang Xiaomin was not a good person.
Tang Yiyi didn't mention whether she had been bullied.
"She told me that I have no relation to the Tang family at all. Is that really true?"
Tang Xu had been worried that this matter would upset Tang Yiyi.
Now, seeing Tang Yiyi's relatively calm demeanor, he didn't want to hide it any longer.
Tang Xu nodded.
"It is true. I took the samples myself and did the test."
Tang Yiyi knew that Tang Xiaomin wouldn't lie to her about something she wasn't sure of.
It seemed that it was all Li Xue's meticulously planned scheme to try and marry into wealth for a better life.
She sat on the bed, not even daring to look Tang Xu in the eye.
She murmured to herself, "I have no relation to you. Then... you have no obligation to care about my life or death anymore."
Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat. He then took Tang Yiyi's hand and assured her.
"Yiyi, I told you, no matter what happens, I will not abandon you. I didn't before, and I certainly won't now."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will be responsible for you until the end. Believe me."
At this moment, Tang Xu's gaze at Tang Yiyi was incredibly serious.
The love that had been suppressed deep within his heart was also released without reservation.
Just by looking into his eyes, one could feel his passionate emotions.
It was the kind of emotion between a man and a woman, not the familial affection of the past.
Even though Tang Yiyi had never been in a relationship, she could feel it.
Before, Tang Xu's feelings for her had been openly expressed.
Back then, after she and Tang Xu were schemed against, Tang Xu had said he would take responsibility for her. He had been so serious then.
The current Tang Yiyi had no other choice.
Tang Xu was her last reliance.
Tang Yiyi nodded.
"Third Brother, thank you."
"Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do now."
Tang Xu savored Tang Yiyi's reliance on him.
"Silly girl, how could I not care about you? From now on, call me by my name."
Tang Xu's meaning was clear.
Tang Yiyi nodded.
"Tang... Tang Xu, can I really call you that?"
"Of course. I've always hoped you would call me that."
Tang Xu dotingly ruffled Tang Yiyi's hair.
"Get some rest early. I have to work overtime. Don't be afraid, I'll come check on you from time to time."
Tang Xu thoughtfully tucked Tang Yiyi in before leaving.
Tang Yiyi lay on the hospital bed, recalling Tang Xiaomin's words.
An idea slowly began to sprout in her heart.
Tang Xu liked her so much; would he deal with Tang Xiaomin for her?
...
After waiting for some time, the people from "Black Net" sent Tang Xu a list of individuals who were a successful match with Tang Yiyi.
Matching was complex. Apart from blood type and other factors, age and physical condition were also very important.
One person's name was circled by "Black Net" personnel.
The "Black Net" people also added a special note: "This person's condition and overall compatibility with your provided medical case are excellent. Based on past successful transplant cases, the success rate of transplanting this person's kidney to your patient is over ninety percent."
The circled name was none other than Tang Xiaomin!!!
