The next day, Ni Sitian was woken up by her phone alarm and felt extremely tired.

Xu Tingchuan was no longer beside her, but the bed was still warm.

She got up and went outside, just as Xu Tingchuan came out of the bathroom.

"Little sleepyhead, it's rare that you didn't sleep past nine o'clock today." Xu Tingchuan reached out and patted her head, smiling faintly, "Go wash up, I'll go prepare breakfast."

Ni Sitian smiled faintly, then walked into the bathroom. Her smile vanished instantly, and she seemed preoccupied.

After washing up and having breakfast, Xu Tingchuan went to work.

Shortly after he left, Ni Sitian also went out. She had arranged to go for a check-up early that morning with Xiang Zhilan.

They chose the city hospital, where they underwent blood tests, urine tests, and a brain scan. The final test was a Holter monitor, which requires the device to be attached to the body for 24 hours. The results will be available tomorrow.

After the physical examination, Ni Sitian wanted to go to a private hospital to see Ni Qianshan first, so she parted ways with Xiang Zhilan.

The two hospitals are not far apart; it's only a five or six-minute walk to each other.

Ni Sitian came directly to the hospital without calling Ni Qianshan today, but she didn't expect to hear Ni Ziqi's voice in the ward: "Dad, wasn't my idea good? I knew Ni Sitian must have money. She paid 200,000 so readily, so what's so difficult about paying 2.5 million?"

"To be honest, Sitian is really something. She clearly has money but insists on hiding it. She doesn't even listen to you, her father. After raising her for so many years, she's like an ingrate," He Cuiyun chimed in.

Ni Qianshan frowned slightly: "She's not as bad as you all say."

He was quite surprised when Ni Sitian said she wanted to be a match for a transplant yesterday. Although he wasn't exactly moved, he was slightly touched.

Ni Ziqi pouted: "Dad, have you forgotten the way she acted when she brought Xu Tingchuan to show off and intimidate us? And the way she made all sorts of excuses and gave you a hard time when you asked her for money? Does she care about our family at all? She just pretended to be a match, and besides, there's a 90% chance she's not a match. She's not..."

"Ziqi! Don't talk nonsense." He Cuiyun pretended to stop her, then smiled and said to Ni Qianshan, "Sitian doesn't know about that matter, she's innocent too, if anyone's to blame, it's your eldest sister..."

"Enough!" Ni Qianshan's face darkened. The thought that Ni Sitian was not his child made his emotions vanish. He said in a deep voice, "If she comes over this afternoon, tell her that the loan sharks are threatening to burn down the house. Tell her to transfer 500,000 yuan first. This act must be performed well."

Ni Sitian, listening outside, felt dizzy and her face drained of color. It turned out that the uremia and the loan sharking were all fake, just a trick to swindle money from her! She had been so stupid to choose to believe Ni Qianshan without any reservations, because they were father and daughter. Even tigers don't eat their cubs!

For Ni Qianshan, she probably never treated her as her daughter for a single moment. She even went so far as to get a bone marrow transplant for him and thought that if it was a match, she would persuade Xu Tingchuan that she would save him.

Ni Sitian covered her mouth and sobbed. She might die from the poisoning, but her father was still only thinking about how to make money off her.

He Cuiyun sensed someone outside the door, so she quickly went to open it.

When she opened the door and saw Ni Sitian crying, she knew that they had heard her. She was shocked and flustered and anxious to explain.
