She was reborn, reborn two years back!
No wonder this scene felt so familiar.
This was the day Su Yiqing was recognized and welcomed back into the Su family.
At this moment, Gu Luo'an was watching from the side.
Su Yiqing was the one Gu Luo'an had brought back.
"Mianyin, Yiqing has been brought back into the family, and you’re still able to sleep?" Father Su reprimanded in dissatisfaction.
"Dad, don’t blame Sister. I heard she’s the general manager of our company, and her work is very demanding. She must be exhausted," Su Yiqing said softly from the side, tears streaming down her face, her voice delicate and pitiful.
Hearing this, Mother Su suddenly felt a surge of resentment in her heart. All of this should have belonged to Su Yiqing, but Shen Mianyin had taken it all!
Shen Mianyin stood up, her face calm, and said, "I have taken over everything that rightfully belongs to Su Yiqing."
"I will leave," Shen Mianyin said as she looked at these so-called "family members." None of them liked her.
Gu Luo'an frowned. In their previous life, Shen Mianyin hadn't left.
Yes, he had been reborn.
However, the timing of his rebirth was a bit too coincidental.
It happened just as he was bringing Su Yiqing to the entrance of the Su family villa. He suddenly felt dizzy.
When he regained clarity, he realized he had been reborn at the exact moment he was bringing Su Yiqing back to the Su family.
"Mianyin, why must you leave? Yiqing said your parents passed away long ago. Why not stay with the Shen family?" Gu Luo'an stared intently at Shen Mianyin, unwilling to look away.
Hearing this, Mother Su couldn’t help but burst into tears again. She hugged Su Yiqing tightly and said, "Poor child, how have you managed all these years? Even your adoptive parents are gone, and you’ve been wandering outside all alone, so pitiful and helpless..."
"Thankfully, Brother Luo'an found me," Su Yiqing sobbed, "Mom, don’t cry. I… I’m fine. I don’t feel like I’ve suffered at all. And now that I’ve found you, I’ll never feel any hardship again."
"Woo woo woo…" Su Yiqing cried even harder. "I never thought I’d have the chance to find you all in this lifetime."
Shen Mianyin watched their joyful family reunion and sneered coldly, "How could I have the audacity to stay here, taking things that were always meant to belong to Su Yiqing?"
Mother Su, who had initially wanted Shen Mianyin to stay, suddenly changed her mind after hearing those words.
That’s right—if Shen Mianyin stayed, she would take half of what belonged to Su Yiqing.
What right did Shen Mianyin have?
She had been eating the Su family's food, using their resources, and spending their money.
"Then you..." Mother Su wanted to ask when Shen Mianyin planned to leave.
"No!" Father Su suddenly interrupted, "You can’t leave!"
They still needed to nurse Shen Mianyin’s kidney back to health.
In truth, they had already found Su Yiqing long ago. They had deliberately chosen today to put on a show in front of Shen Mianyin, to make her feel guilty, to make her believe she owed Su Yiqing.
This way, in the future, they could make Shen Mianyin willingly donate her kidney to Su Yiqing.
Because Su Yiqing had suffered so much in the past, they were worried about her health and had taken her for a thorough check-up.
To their surprise, the results revealed that Su Yiqing had chronic nephritis.
If this condition worsened, it could lead to kidney failure.
So, a kidney transplant was needed.
But where could they find a matching kidney?
They would have to wait.
However, Shen Mianyin just happened to be a perfect match for Su Yiqing.
The only issue was that, as the general manager of the Su family company, Shen Mianyin often had to drink while conducting business.
They needed to make Shen Mianyin stop drinking and take proper care of her kidney so that it could be given to Su Yiqing in perfect condition.
Shen Mianyin looked over, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.
At this moment, the entire family had set their sights on her kidney.
No wonder they refused to let her leave in her previous life.
She had thought that, at least to some extent, Father and Mother Su would be reluctant to part with her, since they had raised her for so many years and there must have been some feelings involved.
Realizing that his tone had been too harsh, Father Su took a deep breath and softened his voice. "Mianyin, where would you go if you left? You’ve lived with us all these years, and we can’t bear to let you go. Stay with us, just like Yiqing—both of you are our daughters."
"No need," Shen Mianyin shook her head. Even if she owed the Su family, she had paid it all back in her previous life.
She had given up her kidney, given up her life. That was enough.
"I also have no face to stay here any longer," Shen Mianyin said. "From now on, I’ll rely on myself."
Shen Mianyin opened her mouth but then corrected herself, "Uncle, Aunt, thank you for raising me all these years."
Mother Su opened her mouth, sighing in relief, but still couldn't bring herself to look away from Shen Mianyin’s side.
Shen Mianyin, feeling uncomfortable under Mother Su’s gaze, almost felt pain in her kidney. She turned her head and called out, "Gu Luo'an."
Seeing Gu Luo'an look at her with disapproval, Shen Mianyin said, "Let's cancel the engagement."
"Mianyin!" Gu Luo'an said, his face filled with displeasure. "What are you trying to do? You want to leave the Su family and cancel our engagement?"
"What am I trying to do? I'm just returning what I owe," Shen Mianyin replied with a faint smile. "The one who had an engagement with you was Su family's daughter. Now that I'm no longer a daughter of the Su family, the engagement naturally no longer counts."
"The one who truly has an engagement with you should be Su Yiqing."
In her previous life, he had teamed up with the Su family to have her killed. She had begged him to wait just a moment longer, and though he said he would, he fed her sleeping pills and pushed her into the operating room.
What kind of scum would hesitate to cancel the engagement with such a person? Why would he still want to keep it?
Su Yiqing stopped crying, and her tear-filled eyes couldn't help but shine with hope.
She couldn’t stop herself from looking at Gu Luo'an, eagerly awaiting his response.
"I disagree!" Gu Luo'an said firmly.
Su Yiqing's mouth moved, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Gu Luo'an.
Why was he disagreeing?
"The one who is engaged to me is you, the person standing here," Gu Luo'an said in a deep voice. "I won't cancel the engagement."
Shen Mianyin shook her head, sneering. "Now that I’m no longer a daughter of the Su family, do you really think your parents would still agree to our marriage?"
"I don't need their approval. My matters, I can decide for myself," Gu Luo'an said with a dark expression, staring at Shen Mianyin. "I won't cancel the engagement."
Su Yiqing anxiously looked at Mother Su.
Why was Shen Mianyin still holding on to Gu Luo'an like this, even now?
Mother Su silently hugged Su Yiqing, patting her back to reassure her not to worry.
Shen Mianyin didn’t deserve to be Gu Luo'an’s fiancĂ©e. She would never agree to it.
Shen Mianyin couldn't be bothered to say more to him and went straight upstairs to her bedroom.
She only took one salary card.
Although she worked at the Su family company, all the business deals were made by her, and the money was earned through her own efforts. Naturally, she had every right to take it with her.
She also packed a few pieces of clothing, ones she had bought with her own money.
As for the things given to her by Father and Mother Su, or Gu Luo'an, she didn't take a single one.
After packing a simple small suitcase, Shen Mianyin went downstairs.
"Shen Mianyin, I won't allow you to leave!" Father Su shouted angrily.
If she left, what would happen to the kidney?
