Chapter 1

Inside the filthy, dilapidated room.

Shu Xia, who had undergone a high amputation due to a car accident, lay on a narrow bed, staring hideously at the two people on the sofa.

They did not care at all that someone was nearby.

Or rather, they did not consider her a person at all.

Fu Chenyan said, "I have never liked her; she was the one who was infatuated and insisted on clinging to me. Lin Miao, I liked you back in college! You have always been my white moonlight."

Lin Miao giggled incessantly, "If we do this, will she be very uncomfortable? Should we find someone to come and help her?"

"Which man could have a reaction to this ghost of a woman?"

Shu Xia opened her mouth, wanting to curse them for being shameless, but long-term starvation left her unable to utter a single word.

Ever since she was paralyzed in bed, no one had taken care of her; before long, her body was covered in bedsores, her skin festered, and it emitted a foul smell of rotting flesh.

As for those two, one was her fiancé of ten years who had grown up with her, and the other was the fake daughter who had grown up by her parents' side.

She looked at the dense pinpricks on her arms; countless times, her blood had been drawn and transfused to Lin Miao.

This was how they repaid her!

"Shu Xia, you shouldn't have lived! Your existence is a reminder of my background. But so what if you are Mom and Dad's biological daughter? They still don't treat you like a daughter, letting you be my blood bank?"

Lin Miao kissed Fu Chenyan's lips and looked at Shu Xia provocatively, "Even your man is mine."

"She is just a lowly life; being your blood bank is her blessing, otherwise, would she have been allowed to live until now?" Fu Chenyan hugged Lin Miao tightly, his eyes filled with infatuation.

"That's true, but now that my illness is cured, she is no longer needed. She has been starved for so many days, why hasn't she died yet?"

"Feed her a big bowl of medicine in a while; if she doesn't die, she will be close to it!"

Tears crawled all over Shu Xia's gaunt face, which was nothing but skin and bone.

She hated them!

She hated them so much that her eyes remained wide open; the potent, excessive medicine made her suffer pain like being burned by fire, and fresh blood gushed out from her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears...

Life ebbed away in overwhelming regret...

"Xia Xia, endure it this time and draw a bit more blood. It's only 400cc anyway. If something happens to Miaomiao, can your conscience be at ease?"

"That's right, we brought you back, and you have already snatched everything from Miaomiao. Miaomiao has filialized us in your place for many years, so now just let her draw a little more blood for Miaomiao. Don't be so delicate!"

A middle-aged couple with almost identical expressions frowned as they looked at Shu Xia, who kept her head down and said nothing.

Their words were full of criticism and dissatisfaction toward Shu Xia.

The Lin Miao they spoke of was held in their arms, pampered and protected with such care for fear she might be bumped or bruised, as if the biological daughter before them, Shu Xia, were an enemy.

"Dad, Mom, I can hold on. Don't force sister; if she is dissatisfied with me, it's because I didn't do well enough." Lin Miao, with her pale, oval face, persuaded them weakly.

The middle-aged couple felt heartbroken.

They continued to point fingers at Shu Xia, "Your body is so healthy, why can't you feel sorry for Miaomiao?"

"Nurse, don't wait for her to nod. We are her father and mother; we can make decisions for her. Continue drawing blood."

Shu Xia stood up abruptly and sneered at her biological father and mother.

Only just now did she realize that she had been reborn!

In her previous life, after she was found, she had always carefully tried to please them. Because her blood type was the same as Lin Miao's—the rare panda blood—they had been swapped at birth.

They made her donate blood from time to time.

To satisfy them, she had never refused, because if she refused, they would start criticizing her in various ways just like now. She had foolishly believed it was because she hadn't done well enough, and even though her body grew weaker and she fell ill frequently with every blood draw, she still did as they required.

And then there was Lin Miao, who acted like a good daughter and sister in front of them, setting her up to be the villain who bullied Lin Miao.

The inhuman experience before her death was so long; she had died suffering, bleeding from all seven orifices!

"Why are you staring at us blankly? Startling us like that! Don't scare Miaomiao. Growing up in the countryside really means having no manners." Chen Yuehua scolded with dissatisfaction.

Lin Guanda knitted his brows, "Xia Xia, you did very poorly today, and Dad is very disappointed! If you want something, just say it directly; you can't make a scene in the hospital."

"Sister, I will give you the little Ferrari Dad gave me for my birthday yesterday, okay? I really need sister's blood. I will give you all my good things in the future, sister, don't be angry." Lin Miao stepped forward to hold Shu Xia's hand, pleading pitifully.

"Nonsense! That is your birthday gift. She doesn't even know how to drive, what does she want a car for! Xia Xia, you are too outrageous. Why do you want everything of Miaomiao's? You have already snatched away Mom and Dad, and now you want Miaomiao's things too?" Chen Yuehua was furious.

She raised her hand, about to strike Shu Xia.

Lin Miao's eyes flashed with triumphant anticipation; so what if Shu Xia was Mom and Dad's biological daughter?

Wasn't she still inferior to her?

Shu Xia's eyes, cold and waveless like an ancient well, looked at Chen Yuehua.

Chen Yuehua froze, feeling that the gaze of this dead girl, Shu Xia, was strangely chilling, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Sit down quickly, don't make a scene!" Lin Guanda shouted.

Shu Xia asked expressionlessly, "Without my blood, will she die?"

"Sister, you... are you wanting me to die?" Lin Miao stepped back, as if frightened.

"How can you be so vicious? You actually want Miaomiao to die? How did I give birth to such a vicious daughter like you? You disappoint me too much; I really regret acknowledging you!" Chen Yuehua was furious; she despised this daughter too much.

Taking her out was truly a disgrace to her.

And she was disobedient and troublesome.

What was the big deal about donating a little blood?

"Sister, Mom is not in good health, please don't make Mom angry, okay? It's all my fault." Lin Miao shed tears weakly.

Lin Guanda put on a stern face and reprimanded her as he had in the past, "Shu Xia, apologize to your mother and Miaomiao!"

In her previous life, whenever they criticized her together and Lin Guanda sternly ordered her to apologize, she would always apologize obediently.

But even after she apologized obediently, they were still not satisfied.

Every time after drawing blood, they would complain that she was pretending to be weak and that she hadn't given enough blood.

Shu Xia looked down at the pinpricks on her arms, her voice sounding as if it were coated in a layer of biting frost, "The ones who should apologize are you. But I won't accept an apology; we will settle the old scores properly and slowly."

After her voice fell, she walked resolutely toward the outside of the hospital.

As she took the first step, a bone-eroding pain surged into her heart once more.

She looked down at her legs with reddened eyes; it was so good, the feeling of being able to stand up and walk was truly so good!

She would settle the score with them in a moment; she still had a more important matter to prevent!
