Chapter 70 Just close your eyes and get a kidney removed.

Su Hong was prone to fatigue, so she slept after lunch. Wei Ning, who was busy expanding business in City B, also left after lunch.

Lance pulled Su Youling outside mysteriously, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you have to say, or you'll get sick from holding it in." Su Youling chuckled.

"Li Tingxi, hasn't he come to see you in the past two weeks? What kind of husband or son-in-law is he!" Lance said with dissatisfaction and anger. "Su Su, my grandfather just returned home two days ago. After dealing with urgent matters at home, he rushed to B City and has been secretly treating a patient for him."

He looked at Su Youling with concern, "I overheard a bit, and it was a woman, a woman that Li Tingxi cares about a lot! Is he keeping a mistress behind your back?"

Su Youling was stunned for a moment.

Li Tingxi had indeed disappeared for some time. She deliberately didn't think about it or ask about it. Didn't she expect that he had been busy with Shen Xiyue's matter in B City all this time?

It seems that Shen Xiyue's condition is indeed very troublesome. Even Professor Jin took so much time to treat her. No wonder Li Tingxi had no time to pay attention to anything else.

"Lance, don't ask about Li Tingxi. It's none of your business," Su Youling advised.

Lance looked hurt. "But you're carrying his child, and he betrayed you and neglected you. What kind of man is he? He doesn't love you at all!"

He never loved me!

Su Youling lowered her eyes, her body stiffening inexplicably, and her tone became somewhat indifferent, "This is a private matter between my husband and me, and it's not convenient to talk about it with outsiders. Lance, don't waste your time on me, it's not worth it."

She spoke harshly, and seeing the hurt look on Lance's face, who looked like a puppy, she felt bad.

Su Youling was an abandoned child who relied on Su Hong for survival from a young age. She suffered rejection from people in the village and school and had no decent playmates except for her pottery master.

Later, she agreed to a marriage of convenience with Li Tingxi, and then she spun around him like a top, without having her own social circle.

She always hoped to have more relatives and friends, and she regarded Lance as a younger brother.

But a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Her own life was a mess, and she couldn't drag Lance into it too.

Lance said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

Seeing Su Youling's indifferent expression, he turned away dejectedly, but halfway there he turned back unwillingly. "Once Grandpa is done with his work, we'll be leaving. Will we have another chance to meet again?"

Su Youling smiled faintly, "If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."

"I understand." Lance pursed his lips and ran away, wounded.

Su Youling sighed, glanced at her phone, and saw no messages from Li Tingxi. Since leaving the Li family, she hadn't heard from him about work, and her life was so peaceful that it was hard to get used to.

After calming herself down for a while, Su Youling prepared to go outside to buy some fruit for her mother. Just as she stepped out of the hospital, a disheveled figure suddenly ran out from the side.

His hair was disheveled, he looked haggard, and his clothes smelled terrible, as if they hadn't been washed in a long time.

"Youling, please save Yueyue! She's your own sister! Are you just going to watch her die?" Su Youling recognized the person as soon as she spoke.

"How come it's you?" Su Youling looked at Chen's mother, who was haggard and disheveled, looking like a homeless person. She was completely different from the few noble ladies she had ever seen. "How did you become like this?"

"

She had no feelings for the Shen family at all. If it weren't for saving her adoptive mother, she wouldn't have left Lingshui Town and come to that cold and heartless Shen family villa, where she was forced to live with these cold and selfish parents for a short time and was ruthlessly sold by them.

After telling Li Tingxi that she wanted a divorce, she blocked all the contact information and channels of the Shen family, completely cutting off contact with them. She just didn't expect that Shen's mother would find her here.

What does Shen Xiyue's illness have to do with her?

Mother Shen held onto Su Youling's hand tightly, pulling her towards the door. Her expression was incoherent as she pleaded, "Come with me to see Yueyue, please save her! All you have to do is close your eyes and have a kidney removed. It won't hurt at all with anesthesia. Yueyue is about to give up, please, I'm begging you."

Su Youling felt a chill in her heart.

Why is it that even though they are both her biological parents, she was abandoned at birth while Shen Xiyue enjoys the life of a high-class young lady?

Why did Shen Xiyue get the best of everything, and now they're even going after her internal organs?

How could two parents be so biased?

A black car without license plates was parked on the side of the street. Su Youling sensed something was wrong and struggled, "Let me go! Madam Shen, I have already repaid the debt of giving birth to you. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Mother Shen's expression changed. Her previous pleading and helplessness were replaced by a vicious and resolute look. Her hands suddenly tightened, and she covered Su Youling's mouth, trying to push her into the car.

It was too late for Su Youling to call for help. As soon as the car door opened, a strange smell hit her, and even a slight whiff of it made her dizzy.

What followed was Shen's father's selfish and vicious face, coldly looking at her, "I've finally found you."

Su Youling's vision went black, and she completely fainted.

At that moment, she only thought of one thing—if anything happened to her child, she would make sure that the entire Shen family of three was buried with her child!

Shortly after the car left, two bodyguards in plainclothes hurriedly left the hospital, searching around for something, their faces anxious and grave.

One person said, "What should we do? How come Madam has suddenly disappeared? We should call Assistant Qin right away."

The other man held his hand down. "Don't rush. Madam came out with Professor Jin's grandson. They're probably nearby. Let's look for them first. Assistant Qin has been traveling all over the world with President Li lately. Contacting him won't help; we'll just get a scolding."

His companion hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

...

That night, a torrential downpour began.

The vast city fell into an eerie stillness, the lush shadows of the trees like wild beasts lurking in the darkness, rustling in the wind.

In a private hospital in a corner of the city, the lights were on all night, and the entire staff was working tirelessly for that one person.

Li Tingxi rushed over from the airport, looking travel-worn with stubble, which added a touch of mature vicissitude to his handsome face.

"What do you mean she's missing?" He stood in the empty ward, the medical equipment still beeping beside him, the bed long since devoid of the patient's body temperature. "So many people were watching her, and you managed to lose her? A bunch of useless idiots!"

Qin He lowered his head and said, "I checked. There are no problems with the bodyguard shift changes or hospital security. It's just that Miss Shen has been deliberately hoarding her medication to reduce her sleep time. She changed her clothes and mask and quietly left through the escape route when the caregivers weren't paying attention."
