Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Originally, Chu Xiang was also a child with no father or mother, but she was taken home to be someone else's precious one. Guo'er and Lin Qing were also the same; they did not have parents. However, why should they be insulted and ruined just because they did not have parents? Why could she not let go of their small bodies?

She did not have a leg; if she lost another kidney, what was this child supposed to do? What was she going to do?

Currently, the one whose kidney was taken away was not Guo'er but her daughter Rainy. Should she be thankful that at least Rainy had a mother and a powerful father who could find her the best doctor and medicine? If it were Guo'er, she might have already died in that surgery.

She gently ruffled Guo'er's soft hair, and tears welled up in her eyes but did not fall.

When she was about to leave, Lin Qing ran after her.

"Auntie…"

"Hm? What's the matter, Xiao Qing?" Xia Ruoxin turned around and smiled at Lin Qing, but her smile was filled with tiredness.

"Auntie, did something happen to Rainy Mei Mei?"

Xia Ruoxin touched her red lip. Could someone tell her—was losing a kidney considered something?

"Auntie, I want to know. I have grown up already." Lin Qing leaned in. Please, Auntie. He was sensitive about this issue and knew that it had something to do with his sister Guo'er. He heard the staff at the welfare home say that someone had taken Guo Er away and Rainy followed. Guo'er also said that Rainy took her place and had something removed from her. In the end, when his sister came back, Rainy was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Ruoxin squatted down and brushed her hair behind her ear, showing her shiny forehead. Her face was pale, unhealthy white and screamed lethargic, while her lips had lost its color.

"Auntie, I beg of you."

Lin Qing stepped forward and stood in front of Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin actually did not want this young child to know about this. The cruelty and harsh reality of the adult world should not be known to a child this young.

"Someone wanted to take something from Guo'er, but Rainy took her place… so Rainy lost that something instead."

"What is it, Auntie?" Lin Qing asked in a shaky voice. What was it? What was that something?

Xia Ruoxin laughed bitterly.

"It was…

"A…

"Kidney."

She stood up and turned to leave. Suddenly, Lin Qing's face became as white as a sheet; and he ran back to where he lived to hug his sister while his whole body shivered.

"Brother, brother. You're hugging me too tightly." Guo'er kept struggling, and she pouted; she was uncomfortable.

Lin Qing's eyes were filled with terror as Xia Ruoxin's words kept ringing in his ear.

She said a kidney, a kidney…

A kidney was a human organ; it grew inside a human body. However, just like what Guo'er said, it would never grow back. Never. Suddenly, he hugged his sister and cried for his sister that was in danger and for the Rainy who had suffered the pain of losing a kidney in place of his sister.

Guo'er tilted her head and used her hand to pat her brother's shoulders.

Again and again, she squinted. She loved the sun now as it shone on her back warmly while Lin Qing was crying. He was crying sadly, but she was smiling—smiling ignorantly.

…

Ka! The metal door opened.

"Ding Yang, you can go out."

Ding Yang opened his eyes and stood up with no emotions. He was wearing prison clothes on his body, and his head was bald. He looked like a criminal from head to toe, but who would have thought that he was actually a doctor that saved lives? Even though he was not very good at it, he was still a doctor with some principles; but now, he was nothing but a prisoner.

He was brought to a man who had his back facing him. He was wearing a branded suit, and his height was taller than the rest; everyone could see that he had an outstanding aura.

The man turned around and had a cold expression on his face. His tightly pressed lips showed that his personality was very stiff, and at that time, he was picking his lips lightly.

"Are you Ding Yang?"

"Yeah, I am Ding Yang. If you want to find someone that's called Ding Yang, it should be me." Ding Yang smiled. "Oh, I used to be a doctor."

"I know. I'm Chu Lui." Chu Lui walked over and stood in front of Ding Yang. He was actually a head taller than Ding Yang which made the originally not-so-short him feel a sense of suppression.

"Chu Lui?" Ding Yang knitted his brows. He heard of this person's name, CEO of the Chu Enterprise and was a very outstanding entrepreneur. Other than a major listed company, he had a few other sub-companies overseas. The most important thing was he heard from others that he had a private gold mine. However, he heard it from the streets so only Chu Lui would know if it was true.

"Mr. Chu, do we know each other?" Ding Yang was sure that he had never seen nor interacted with such a famous figure before.

"Nope." Chu Lui sat down and gestured towards the chair and said, "Please sit."

"Thank you." Ding Yang licked his dry lips. He was not too nervous and would not have weird thoughts because of Chu Lui being in front of him. He was a doctor, not a businessman; he did not need Chu Lui's help so he, of course, would not expect this man to help him.

Chu Lui took out a cigarette and lit it up before throwing the lighter and the cigarette on the table.

"Help yourself."

After he finished talking, he puffed out some smoke. Everyone said that men who smoked were very charismatic and manly; Chu Lui would then be the manliest out of these men. He was taught well at home, and from his simple sitting posture, there was an unmistakable mature charisma around him. Ding Yang did not see many men like Chu Lui. Even his smoking action could mesmerize people as he squinted his eyes slightly and puffed out smoke from his cold straight lips that did not smile.

"Thank you." Ding Yang took out a cigarette and did not see what brand it was. However, if it was used by Chu Lui, it definitely would not be a cheap brand. Shakily, he took the lighter and lit the cigarette before taking a puff. Then, he coughed strongly.

"First time?" Chu Lui looked up slightly and asked.

"Yeah, first time." Ding Yang smiled sheepishly before taking another puff. He was a doctor himself so he was very sensitive towards health. He had never touched these things before, but now he felt that as a man—if he did not smoke before, he should not be taken as one.
