After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

Although Tang Xia didn't know what the Song family was planning, she remained calm.

Especially at times like this, we must not lose our composure.

The Song family shouldn't be so audacious as to commit murder.

If I don't go to work tomorrow, the people at the studio will definitely notice something's wrong.

I just don't know when they'll be able to find themselves.

In the evening, Aunt Liu came to bring her dinner.

There were even two menacing-looking security guards standing at the entrance.

It seems that Madam Song is indeed very distrustful of her.

“Aunt Liu, do you know that detaining someone is illegal? As an accomplice, you cannot escape your guilt.”

Aunt Liu stumbled and almost fell.

Even though she had served the Song family for so long, it was impossible for her not to be afraid in this situation.

To Tang Xia's surprise, Aunt Liu only panicked for a moment before saying firmly, "You don't need to scare me. I know what I'm doing right now."

After saying that, she locked the door tightly.

Tang Xia looked at the food she brought, which was a well-balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

This doesn't seem like the standard for treating prisoners at all.

However, Tang Xia did not believe that the Song family still had any affection for her.

A terrible idea took shape in her mind.

She barely slept that night.

The next morning, when Aunt Liu came to deliver breakfast again, Tang Xia suddenly asked, "Why haven't I seen my brother?"

As expected, Aunt Liu's expression changed drastically.

"That's not your place to ask. You just need to do as Madam asks, and you'll be able to see the young master soon."

After Aunt Liu left, Tang Xia's face also darkened.

If the Song family was willing to bear the possibility of committing a crime, it must be for someone very important.

She had overheard Jin Yao mention that Song Xingzhou had uremia.

He needs a kidney transplant to survive.

With the Song family's connections, finding a kidney donor would be very easy.

However, if you want to reduce the risk of rejection after a kidney transplant, the kidney from a close relative is naturally the most suitable.

Thinking about it this way, all those things that seemed strange before have been explained.

She has been missing for so many years, and the Song family has never thought of looking for her. Even Song Zhiruo didn't know that Song Ziling was not actually their biological daughter.

But then, after Song Xingzhou fell ill, he found her.

The grand announcement of her identity and the desire to bring her back into the Song family are likely just a pretext for future manipulation, to get her to "donate" a kidney to the Song family.

Just like Song Ziling.

Unfortunately, Tang Xia never fell for it.

No, perhaps for a moment, she was truly immersed in the "beautiful family affection" that the Song family had created for her.

Having lived two lifetimes, she deeply understands one principle.

In this world, you can't rely on anyone but yourself.

The more beautiful something seems, the greater the price you may have to pay.

Having figured all this out, Tang Xia was determined not to let them succeed again.

When Aunt Liu brought her lunch at noon, she discovered that she hadn't eaten any of the food that had been brought in the morning.

How can you not eat?

"Why not?" Tang Xia retorted, "Is it because if I don't eat and ruin my health, I won't be able to return my kidney to Song Xingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"How do you know?"

"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place." Tang Xia looked over coldly. "You guys are really bold. Selling organs privately is a much bigger crime than imprisoning a person. It's enough to get you shot several times."

“Things have come to this point, even if it’s wrong, we have to do it.” Aunt Liu’s face showed a complicated expression, and then she suddenly looked at Tang Xia with resentment: “No matter what, Xingzhou is your own brother! It’s just taking one of your kidneys, it’s not like you can’t live. If you agree, things don’t need to be so complicated.”

"How ridiculous! I haven't enjoyed a single benefit from the Song family in the first half of my life, and now you want me to give up a kidney for a stranger? How can you say such shameless things!"

"you!"

Liu Ma never expected that Tang Xia would guess their plans.

To my surprise, she resisted so fiercely.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of the hem of her clothes twitching slightly at the doorway, so she put down what she was holding and went out.

"I advise you to eat your food properly, otherwise, there are other ways to deal with you."

"Sure, I'll be waiting!"

Aunt Liu closed the door and sighed deeply.

"Madam, what should we do if she continues to refuse to cooperate?"

Standing outside the door was Madam Song.

She had heard what Tang Xia had just said.

But what worries her most now is not Tang Xia's lack of cooperation, but... Song Xingzhou is also unwilling.

No wonder he didn't want Tang Xia to return to the Song family.

I originally thought he disliked his younger sister, but I never expected it was to protect her.

Madam Song couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness: "Xingzhou, you always think of others first, but what about yourself!"

Looking at the tightly closed door, she made up her mind.

He instructed Liu Ma, "If she still doesn't eat, knock her unconscious and inject her with nutrient solution. Just keep her alive. As for the rest, I'll figure it out."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tang Xia went on a hunger strike for two more meals.

The next morning, Mrs. Song appeared in front of her and threw a stack of photos at her.

Tang Xia immediately recognized that the people in the photo were Aunt Ruan and Niannian.

"There are indeed many people looking for you right now, and they will find this place soon. You can escape, but can your daughter escape?"

"Are you even human?!" Tang Xia's eyes were bloodshot as she gritted her teeth in anger. "She's just a child! Are you really going to be this heartless for your son? Aren't you afraid that even if he gets a kidney transplant, he won't live long?"

"Snapped--!"

Tang Xia was stunned by the sudden slap.

Even Zhang Ma at the door was momentarily at a loss.

Madam Song took a deep breath and said, "I did all these things, so even if there is retribution, I will bear it. You are not allowed to curse my son! I advise you to be sensible, otherwise, next time it might be your daughter's fingers or toes that are delivered to you, who knows! Liu Ma, bring the food in! Whether she eats it or not is up to her."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Madam Song left, Liu Ma saw Tang Xia's miserable appearance and couldn't bear to look at her: "Miss, Madam has also suffered a lot these years. You shouldn't go against her anymore. You should eat this meal."

Tang Xia raised her hand and wiped away the tears that were about to fall.

Without saying a word, he picked up the bowl and began to eat heartily.

"Tell her that if she dares to even think about it, I will haunt her even as a ghost!"

Liu Ma, however, seemed to be possessed, only repeating one sentence over and over again.

"It's good to eat, it's good to eat."
