Boss, Don’t Act All Mighty, Miss Pei is Married to Your Brother!-Chapter 2: Reluctance

Pei Xin's frail body stiffened from the touch. After her vision cleared, her originally murky eyes suddenly burst with intense hatred and fear.

She was very familiar with the person in front of her. It was her fiance, Lu Li.

They used to be childhood sweethearts and were known as the golden couple in the eyes of others. She loved him to the core, but Lu Li and everyone else were the ones that pushed her into the abyss.

During the five years she was in prison, Lu Li had bribed all the prisoners who were under her watch to give her a special type of care just to avenge Ling Xue.

Lu Li frowned as he looked at the frail person. The once proud swan had turned into such a meek mouse. He felt disgusted at the thought of the time and effort he had spent on her.

Pei Xin felt like her jaw was about to be crushed. After a long time, Lu Li kicked her face to the side to vent years of suppressed anger. He waved at the bodyguards behind him and said, "I will not taint my hands with the likes of you. Men, take her away!"

A few burly men lifted Pei Xin up. She was carried into the hospital like a dead corpse and was thrown on the floor of the VIP ward.

Ling Xue, who was originally chatting and laughing with Shen Wei, immediately stopped smiling when she saw Pei Xin.

When Shen Wei saw this, she snorted coldly and glared at the lifeless body on the ground. Then, she put on a kind smile and went to coax her supposed precious daughter.

"You're finally here." Pei Yuan handed a slice of apple to Ling Xue, then walked towards Pei Xin and helped her up.

"Father- No... Mr. Pei..." Pei Xin subconsciously called out for her father. She was reminded of Pei Yu's reaction at the prison entrance and quickly changed her words.

"You don't have to be so reserved. I've been calling you my daughter for more than twenty years." Pei Yuan's voice did not reveal his intentions, but his words ruthlessly struck the softest part of Pei Xin's heart.

"There there. I don't regret raising you. You're also my daughter, just like Ling Xue." Pei Yuan continued, "Both of you are my daughters. This means that you are both sisters. Now that Ling Xue is sick and needs your help, can you promise to me that you'd do your best to help her and donate your kidney to her?"

Pei Xin's heart, which was originally warm from the kindness, immediately turned into stone. The real reason why he said that was because he wanted her to donate her kidney to Ling Xue.

She smiled sadly and swallowed back the words she wanted to say initially. She sniffed and said, "I refuse!"

Pei Xin had just finished speaking when a slap landed on her face.

"You little b*tch, you owe Ling Xue your life. How dare you refuse such a simple task?!" Shen Wei rushed over with a fierce look on her face; the only thing behind those eyes was malice.

Pei Xin did not understand. They had clearly been together for 20 years, how could they drop her so easily?

"What if she dies?" Pei Xin's voice choked up. "Wouldn't there be another compatible kidney for her to use? Why must it be me?"

Shen Wei was stunned when she heard this, but in the next second, she raised her hand and slapped Pei Xin again. "This is for you to repent! How dare you curse Ling Xue to die? I can't believe I raised such a vicious villain like you for more than twenty years! This is as expected of your shameless mother!"

The more Shen Wei spoke, the more agitated she became. She raised her hand over and over again, driving Pei Xin to the ground.

Pei Yuan looked at the farce in front of him and said in a deep voice, "That's enough!"

When he saw Shen Wei stop and return to Ling Xue's side, he continued, "I know you don't want to, and I really can't force you to get on the operating table. Fair warning, you should think about it carefully before making a decision. Don't forget... Your mother is suffering in prison along with your five year old son."

Pei Xin looked at Pei Yuan in disbelief. The man's expression was calm, as if the last sentence had not come out of his mouth.

Everyone in the ward had different expressions on their faces. Ling Xue and Shen Wei looked at her with disdain and disgust whilst Lu Li's face was ashen. She unconsciously tightened her grip on her body knowing that that child was obviously not Lu Li's.

After Pei Xin's identity was exposed five years ago, Ling Xue had come to look for her.

She remembered Ling Xue holding her hand innocently. "Pei Xin, I was ecstatic when I found out about my past. Don't worry, I don't blame you for this."
