Chapter 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two days have passed since Lu Jinqi woke up. At that moment, she lay on the hospital bed surveying her surroundings. The pungent smell of disinfectant made her nose scrunch up in disapproval.

She did not expect to survive after being sucked dry.

According to what her memories could recall, she was named Lu Jinqi.

She had always been an orphan. Ever since she was born, she had been in the Welfare Institute. Due to her being timid and cowardly, she had always been bullied and never once thought to resist. The director of the Welfare Institute never cared about these small matters, after all.

Until one day, a group of people came to the Welfare Institute. They said that the hospital would provide a free medical check-up. When the director heard this, she was so happy that she could not find her bearings. She never suspected there to be more than meets the eye.

When that group of people made all the children give a small amount of blood into a tube, she never suspected anything.

She never expected that two days later, Song Zhilin and his wife would specifically request to adopt Lu Jinqi.

Obviously, the director knew about their identities. Even though she was puzzled as to why they chose Lu Jinqi, she still called her over and told her that she would have a new home in the future. At the same time, she told her to be obedient.

When that happened, the younger girl foolishly thought that she really gained a new family. She never expected to step into a bottomless abyss of torture.

Ever since the first blood transfusion, the young her understood that her role was to provide blood for the daughter of this family at any time, Song Yayin. Later on, when she grew up, she wanted to resist, but Song Zhilin warned and threatened her. She wanted to call the police, but she could not.

From then on, she knew that no matter what she did, she would never be able to escape the Song family.

Until yesterday, with Song Yayin’s accident, Lu Jinqi became a blood transfusion tool yet again. However, the original Lu Jinqi had died from this.

Lu Jinqi struggled to get up from the bed. When she felt her injured body tremble, she chuckled.

“What a pity.”

“Hm…” In the bathroom, Lu Jinqi looked at the person in the mirror with disdain. In the mirror, her long black hair was disheveled, but her seductive eyes still popped. There was no blood on her delicate face when she smiled.

Since the new Lu Jinqi had taken over this body, she wanted to settle the score with that Song family. Otherwise, how could she face the poor little girl back then in the orphanage when the time came.

Just as she left the ward, Lu Jinqi heard a familiar voice from next door. Her eyes instantly lit up from the sound.

“Yinyin, how many times have I told you? You can mess with that girl if you want, but don’t mess up your own body. Look at how dangerous you’ve cut it this time.” The woman’s voice came from inside the ward.

Lu Jinqi stood outside the door. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows. This family was really shameless.

“Mom, I’ve already told you before. As long as she’s here, I’ll be fine. Look, I’m fine now, aren’t I?” Her delicate voice sounded from the back.

From outside, she could see the girl pulling the woman’s sleeve and acting coquettishly.

The woman raised her hand to stroke the girl’s head, a loving smile appearing on her graceful face.

“Yinyin, you have to remember that no matter how much you hate her, you can’t let her die.”

The woman reminded her worriedly. After all, she’s a mobile blood bank that we’ve spent so much effort to find. If she died, what would happen to you?”

“I know, I just can’t stand her face.” Song Yayin pursed her lips as she spoke. How could she tolerate an orphan who looked even more exquisite than her?

Hearing this, the woman smiled. As a parent, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking? After all, she was her own daughter. As long as no one died, it was fine.

“Just because that person is good-looking, you shouldn’t be jealous.”

Lu Jinqi opened the door and walked in slowly, sitting on the sofa unceremoniously.

Seeing Lu Jinqi’s face, a flash of jealousy flashed across Song Yayin’s eyes, but no words were said out loud. ‘If only I had your face.’

“Why’re you here?” The woman looked at her and frowned, the disgust on her face was clear.

Lu Jinqi leaned back and placed her legs on the coffee table in front of her, playing with her phone.

“Well, I’m here to see if the pig that used my blood is awake.”

Hearing this, the mother and daughter in the room understood that Lu Jinqi was belittling them.

The woman was furious, without thinking, she stepped forward and slapped her.

However, before her hand could touch Lu Jinqi, she grabbed it. Lu Jinqi stood up and patted the woman’s face, her eyes were cold.

“Mrs. Song, it’s not good to get so easily angered for someone your age.”

After saying that, she let go of the woman’s hand and grabbed a tissue to wipe it.

The woman was shocked by Lu Jinqi’s action. She felt as though someone had a chokehold over her.

How could Lu Jinqi have such a terrifying gaze? The woman shook her head. She must have been mistaken.

“Lu Jinqi, are you trying to rebel against us?”

Lu Jinqi revealed a playful smile, it was as though she had just heard something funny.

“Don’t talk like your family has a fortune for me to inherit.”

Song Yayin was sitting on the bed. Seeing Lu Jinqi rudely reply to her mother like that, she picked up the cup on the table and threw it towards her.

Seeing her actions, Lu Jinqi wanted to dodge it, but when her gaze landed on the woman, she instantly changed her mind.

She pulled the older woman over, and the cup smashed into the older woman’s face. It then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

“Ouch, it hurts,” Lu Jinqi said as she looked at the broken glass on the ground.

The pain on the older woman’s face made the woman cry. The place where the cup collided with her face began to bruise. It was clear how much strength Song Yayin had used.

Song Yayin did not expect to hit her mother, so she was at a loss.

Seeing Lu Jinqi beside her, unfazed, she became even angrier. She was clearly aiming for her, but that orphan actually dared to dodge the attack!

“Lu Jinqi, did you just dodge that?” Song Yayin pointed at Lu Jinqi in a fluster, her eyes filled with flames.

“Did I dodge what? Didn’t Mrs Song generously block it for me?”

Lu Jinqi jokingly replied, but there was no expression on her face.

“Lu Jinqi, what are you trying to do? Don’t forget whose house you’re living in now.”

The woman covered her face and glared at Lu Jinqi.

Her face was injured, so now she could not go out for a while. She had originally made plans with her friends to get a facial tomorrow, but how could she have the courage to go out with a damaged face like that?

“I said that I came here to see a pig. I just walked out from the gates of Hell. That was the only thing I did and nothing else. What do you guys think I did?”

This woman was not wrong at all. The past Lu Jinqi still lived with the Song family, and was owned by the Song family. It seemed like she had plans to go back.

The older woman was speechless. “If you haven’t done anything, then where did the injury on my face come from!”

Seeing this, Lu Jinqi curled her lips and turned to leave.

As expected, the sound of objects breaking and the woman’s angry voice came from behind.

Standing at the hospital entrance, Lu Jinqi looked at the account balance on her phone and could not help but shake her forehead.

It seemed that she had to solve her money problem first.
