“My parents told me that Pei Xin had been relying on the Pei family for food and shelter all these years. They said that Pei Xin’s kidney was born for me. My brother also told me that I should willingly accept Pei Xin’s kidney. These are the things that Pei Xin owes to me.

“Now that I’ve seen people scolding the Pei family… I… They say that the Pei family is cold-blooded and heartless. They say that we’re executioners… Murderers!

“Did we do something wrong?”

Lu Li held Ling Xue’s hand and comforted her.

“You don’t have to think so much. Your parents are right. Pei Xin owes you this.

“No matter what the people on the Internet say, it won’t change our decision. Pei Xin’s body is weak now. When she recovers, I’ll definitely get her to donate her kidney to you.

“She keeps saying that she doesn’t owe the Pei family anything anymore. She does. We must make her use her kidney to repay her debt.”

Ling Xue looked up when she heard this.

“Pei Xin has gained a lot of support today. Lu Huai is also protecting her. If we want her to donate her kidney, she will disagree.”

“As long as we don’t care about the public opinion online, all of this will blow over.” Lu Li sneered. “Pei Xin isn’t a celebrity. This matter is just a temporary sensation. When the heat dies down, no one will pay attention to her. As for Lu Huai, I’ll find him something to do so that he won’t have the time to care about Pei Xin.”

Ling Xue was satisfied with his response. She hugged Lu Li’s arm and said coquettishly, “You’re the best. 1 knew you would have a way.”

Lu Li stroked Ling Xue’s hair. He had mixed emotions in his eyes. “Ling Xue, 1 hope you will always be pure and kind. 1 hope you will never let these external things affect you. I’ve become paranoid and crazy. You’re the warmest thing in my heart and the motivation for me to work hard. I hope you won’t change beyond recognition and never turn out like me.”

Ling Xue was stunned.

Why would Lu Li suddenly say such things to her?

Did Lu Li find out about something?

Lu Li didn’t bring up this topic again. He went outside and bought food for Ling Xue. He stayed with her to eat and watched a movie before leaving the ward.

Ling Xue became suspicious. She quickly called her brother, Pei Yu, the moment he left.

Pei Yu saw that it was Ling Xue’s call and quickly picked it up.

“Ling Xue, what’s wrong?” Pei Yu asked gently.

Ling Xue told Pei Yu what Lu Li had just told her.

Then Ling Xue said to Pei Yu worriedly, “1 feel like Lu Li was unhappy with me just now. Is it because people are scolding me and affecting my image in Lu Li’s heart? 1 don’t know what 1 did wrong. I’m clearly the innocent one here, but because of Pei Xin’s words, everyone is against me. I’ve already suffered for so many years, and now I’m still lying in the ward. What else can I do to prove my innocence!”

Pei Yu’s heart ached when he heard her words.

He quickly comforted Ling Xue, “Don’t worry. I know Lu Li very well. He’s probably afraid that you’ll be influenced by the public opinion online and that your personality will turn for the worse. He just wants you to keep your innocence and purity. You just have to be a happy little princess around him. Lu Li and I can do the dirty work.”

“Thank you.” Ling Xue was touched. Then Ling Xue said sadly, “Six years ago at the banquet, we drugged Pei Xin. If Lu Li finds out about this, he will hate me. He will think that my so-called innocence and beauty are all lies. He will never like me again.”

Pei Yu said, “Don’t worry. Lu Li will never be able to find out about this. Even if he does, I will take responsibility for it. 1 will never let you get involved. I told you just now that Lu Li and I will bear all the blame. You just have to be our little princess.”

Ling Xue heard the answer she wanted and said a few more nice words before ending the call.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xue’s face was no longer as pitiful as before.

Her eyes were cold and filled with resentment.

She searched online for some footage of Pei Xin’s live broadcast..
