Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“It’s said that the mastermind behind Xingwei’s fake medicine, Lei Jiacheng and Xu Xiaojing, have been arrested. Due to their many crimes, they were sentenced to life imprisonment. In addition, Lu Yaohua was also brought back by the police for interrogation last night. After investigation, he was charged with involvement in the Xingwei Preventive Medicine case. Therefore, he will face at least 30 years behind bars…”

The woman sitting on the bed looked at the television in exhaustion. She hugged a doll tightly in her arms, as if this was the only way to give her a sense of security. The small rental house was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous things. As the third daughter of the Tang family, when had she been so down and out?

After the incident, she immediately asked the old man for help. However, because she was involved in the Xingwei Preventive Medicine matter, the Tang family’s shares had plummeted and were now on the verge of collapse! Now, no matter who in the family saw her, they wanted to beat her up to vent their anger. They wanted to stop the losses in time.

After attending Lu Ze’s funeral, she was chased out of the old residence. If the old man hadn’t given her a sum of money before she left, she would have slept on the streets! However, this was good. If she was at home, her sisters would definitely mock her. However, staying here quietly might not be a solution.

She wanted to return to her previous exalted position.

Now that Ah Ze was gone, she would go all out. She didn’t care about the price she had to pay and would bite whoever she saw like a crazy dog! It could be said that Tang Wenyi was indeed irrational at this moment. Suddenly, the sound of a key turning came from the door. The wooden door opened and Luo Xiangwen, who was wearing a suit, appeared. He said indifferently, “Third Miss.”

A faint light appeared in Tang Wenyi’s eyes. She quickly looked behind him. There was no one. She said slowly, “Old Master… is he still unwilling to see me?”

Not to mention now, she probably wouldn’t be able to see the head of the family in this lifetime because it was very difficult for her to even see the other young ladies. After all, it was rumored in the family that the Third Miss was the reincarnation of a jinx. Her presence would only bring danger to the family. If it weren’t for the head of the family protecting her on account of their old relationship, the Third Miss would have died long ago.

Of course, Luo Xiangwen naturally could not tell her everything. He carried the suitcase and said in a business-like manner, “You should know about the two bosses of Xingwei Medical Group and Lu Yaohua’s imprisonment, right? Do you think you can escape? I believe it will be your turn soon.”

This was no less than a horror story to Tang Wenyi!

Her grand ambitions had ended before she could even start. How could she accept this? She said in a panic, “No! At least I can’t go in yet! I want to get the position of the family head! The old man asked you to come over to help me, right?! As long as you’re willing to help me, I can give you everything I have!”

However, she was already penniless. The only thing left was her life, and it was very precious!

Luo Xiangwen sighed in his heart. Even the final inheritance had been divided up by the other ladies. How could Third Miss compete with them? Without any time to think, he turned around and said, “Please follow me. The family head has already arranged to meet a big shot. He can help you resolve your predicament.”

Upon hearing that there was a way out, Tang Wenyi couldn’t care less. She simply packed her luggage and followed him out!

…

Thousand Willows District.

This could be said to be the residence of the rich and famous. As they drove in, she saw villas of various styles. The environment was very quiet, and she could even hear the birds chirping. Not long ago, she often came here to have fun, and those people were quite friendly to her.

Tang Wenyi couldn’t help but miss her past self. Although no one dared to provoke her in Shanghai after she married Lu Yaohua, the life was still far inferior to what she enjoyed in the capital. Why did she have to jump into such a big pit back then? If she didn’t know that Lu Yaohua was living a worse life than her, she would have suspected that he could cast a spell on her!

Soon the two of them arrived at the manor which was slightly further away from the central region. After they greeted each other, the butler led them into the living room. The place was decorated in a traditional Chinese style. In addition to the standard calligraphy and antiques, there were expensive wool carpets and sofas imported from overseas.

On the surface, the place looked quite ordinary, but in reality, it was extremely expensive!

The square-faced middle-aged man glanced at them and said, “You must be Third Miss Tang, right? I’ve heard a lot of people mention you recently. You’re young and promising! When I was your age, I was still wondering when I could get promoted and become rich. I didn’t expect Old Tang to have such a bold daughter like you.”

That was fake medicine! It was fine if it was light, but the key was that many people had died because of the Xingwei Preventive Medicine! Be it the higher-ups or the people, there were countless pairs of eyes watching the mastermind of the incident! If he dared to get involved in her affairs, he had to be prepared to be discovered.

Just thinking about it was troublesome!

When Tang Wenyi heard the words ‘young and promising’, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. Of course, she knew that the other party was mocking her, but now that she had a favor to ask, she had no choice but to lower her head! Even if she wanted to take revenge, she had to wait until she became the head of the family!

Thinking of this, she said, “Uncle Yue, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Please save me on account of our past relationship. If I’m caught, I won’t be able to come out for the rest of my life. I might even be executed. I’m still so young…”

“I’m curious. How did you come up with such a suicidal method at such a young age? If you didn’t say it, I would have thought that you were bent on death! Otherwise, how could you do something like making fake medicine? If you didn’t handle it well, all of us would be doomed!”

Yue Lingqun took a sip of tea and said, “Everyone outside says that Third Miss Tang is brainless. At first, I didn’t believe it, because no matter what, you’re still Old Tang’s child. You can’t have not learned anything, right? It was only when I saw you make fake medicine that I realized that I was wrong!

“You’re hopeless.”

Even though she didn’t know how many people had said this about her, Tang Wenyi couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat. Was she… really that bad? She knew that she couldn’t do anything right, but her constant struggle showed that she wasn’t willing to accept such a fact!

In the past, everyone had praised her for being smart, with a bright future. Why did everything change after she got married?

“I-I’ll learn from this lesson. Next time, I’ll know what to do. Give me another chance! One last time!”
