Black-hearted Lotus Twin (16)
Mrs. Chu burst into tears.
After returning home from the hospital, Mrs. Chu solemnly said to the whole family, “We must save Xixi, we must. No matter what it takes, she must be cured. We’ve been hunting for excellent doctors all over the country and the world and searching for the matching heart. Isn’t there a black market for this kind of business? Let’s get Xixi cured. We can’t let her suffer like this anymore!”
Fang Jie’s eyes widened in incredulity. “Mom, what are you talking about? What black market? It’s against the law to buy and sell such things!”
“Then what do you think can be done?!” Mrs. Chu was on the verge of collapse. “Do you think I want it? If there was just the tiniest way out, I wouldn’t have thought about this. But what else can we do? Xixi’s health is getting worse by the day. She can’t wait too long, so we must think of a way as soon as possible. Each of you can take a stand.”
Mr. Chu remained silent, while Chu Cheng was very upset. But in the end, the two agreed with Mrs. Chu’s idea. Chu Xi was the little princess they raised. Should they just give up on her? Then what would become of them?
Fang Jie restrained herself until they went back to the room before she broke out, “What the hell are you thinking? Breaking the law for Chu Xi? What if you get caught? What am I supposed to do if something happens to you? Have you ever considered this? Your mother even urged us to have a baby. How are we going to have a child? Am I going to give birth to a child to be a cow or a horse for my sister-in-law?”
Chu Cheng said, “What are you talking about? What do you mean by being a cow and a horse?”
“No? Then tell me, your whole family revolves around Chu Xi. How much does a heart transplant cost, and how much does it cost to buy a heart in the black market? You’re all bringing the family to ruin for Chu Xi. What about our child? Born to suffer from cold and hunger? Let me tell you Chu Cheng, I will not give birth to this child. I will go back to my parent’s house. Do whatever you like!” Fang Jie walked her talk. She really packed her things and left.
This was the first time they had such a fierce quarrel and didn’t expect it to be because of Chu Xi. Chu Cheng used to be a sis-con and loved Chu Xi the most. But now Fang Jie was making such a fuss. While he was upset, he couldn’t help thinking. Wasn’t Chu Xi the kindest and most sensible? Why was she so troublesome for him now? Why didn’t Chu Xi think about what might happen to his child?
Some things were scary when they started. Often, once they started, they never ended. This was true to Chu Cheng and Chu Xi. The love between the siblings was pried open, and from then on, the hole became bigger and bigger
The Chu family began to do their best to extend Chu Xi’s life, and Fang Jie had more and more conflicts with them. This life of running around seeking medical treatment made everyone in the Chu family physically and mentally exhausted, and even tormented.
Chu Xi had always harbored evil intentions toward Chu Xiang. She thought sinisterly, if Chu Xiang’s heart became hers, would Chu Xiang die in peace? She felt too excited thinking about it! If this could come true, then she would exact her revenge on everything!
From time to time, she attempted to ask her family to find Chu Xiang and bring her back, using all kinds of reasons, but the family hated and feared Chu Xiang to their bones now. How could they dare to let Chu Xiang return? What if she pissed Chu Xi to death? They felt that Chu Xiang resembled a lunatic who could really do anything. Now even if Chu Xiang was willing to come back, they would disagree.
While the Chu family was living in an abyss of suffering, Chu Xiang successfully published her dissertation, amazing doctors in the industry.
The thesis she published was not signed by her advisor, but was published by her independently. All the ideas and data in the article were her own, which meant she was already better than most people, and no one could cover up her limelight!
What an honor was it for a 21-year-old medical student to publish such a paper? All the major media in China reported this matter, and the Chu family, who had always been concerned about medical news, naturally got to know it immediately.
When they saw Chu Xiang’s name, they only thought it was too much of a coincidence. But when they saw Chu Xiang’s picture on the TV news, they were completely shocked.
She was their family’s Chu Xiang. Even if she had become more beautiful and elegant, she was still their family’s Chu Xiang. How did she become so famous? Why did everyone make such a big deal out of her going to college as an exchange student? What rising star of the medical field and the future light of the medical field? Were they all talking about Chu Xiang???
Chu Xi was not only shocked when she saw the news, but jealousy also gnawed at her heart like an ant. They were twins, but why was Chu Xiang so dazzling? Was she only meant to count the days to her death? Everything about twins should be the same! Why was Chu Xiang better than her in everything?
Moreover, Chu Xiang’s dissertation was related to heart disease, which was a huge irony. She was suffering from heart failure, but Chu Xiang made a big show with her heart disease dissertation. The smile on Chu Xiang’s photos on TV seemed to be mocking her for overestimating herself in the past. What was the use of her bullying Chu Xiang for 18 years? Now she was the only one dying. Chu Xiang’s life, on the other hand, would only get better and better.
