Chapter 278: 271: Changling’s Origin Story, He Dongzhou Little Scar’s Love (Second Update)
Little Scar’s surgery was scheduled for Friday morning. Her grandmother was in poor health and couldn’t withstand the long journey, so He Dongzhou did not bring her to the capital, instead arranging for someone to take care of her in their hometown.
On Thursday morning, Little Scar was in good spirits and managed to eat half a bowl of porridge.
“Dongzhou.”
“Hmm.”
A week before the surgery, He Dongzhou had cancelled all his work and was practically living in the hospital. Little Scar’s kidney failure was severe, her complexion was yellowish due to the toxins that couldn’t be expelled, she was skin and bones, and those beautiful eyes lost their sparkle because of her emaciation.
“I want to see her.”
“Who do you want to see?”
Little Scar said, “The other Changling.”
Kidney transplantation is a major operation, and its success is not guaranteed; she didn’t want any regrets. She knew who her kidney donor was, and she also knew about the Qin Family’s turmoil a few months earlier, so she could guess Wen Changling’s identity.
He Dongzhou agreed.
In the afternoon, Wen Changling arrived at the hospital.

Little Scar was sitting on the hospital bed, wearing a hat. She looked at Wen Changling and smiled, “You’re really pretty.”
Wen Changling didn’t dare to step forward and stood somewhat awkwardly, “You’re also very pretty.”
Little Scar bore a strong resemblance to Wen Yuan.
“Can you tell me what kind of person she is?”
When she was found by her grandmother, there were various denominations of paper money and a blessing charm with the words “Changling” written on it.
Grandmother said that charm was hard to come by.
Wen Changling slowly walked forward and told Little Scar, “She was a very gentle and kind person.”
Little Scar already knew what kind of person Qin Qi was, “Did she abandon me because she had no other choice?”
“Yes.”
One year, Qin Qi went to Wind Town for geographical research and encountered heavy rain in the mountains, where Wen Yuan kindly took him in.
Then….
“She looked for you but couldn’t find you. She often mentioned you, but each time she would end up crying.”
Wen Yuan knew how to brew liquor, and Wen Changling learned how to drink from her. When she drank too much, she would always cry. She said she had a daughter with a scar at the corner of her eye, calling her poor for being born to her. She blamed herself for being awful, for having lost her child.
Always drinking, always crying.
“She also named me Changling.”
Little Scar quietly wept.
Wen Changling said, “She hoped that you would live a long life.”
On Friday, at 9:20 AM, Little Scar was wheeled into the surgical room.
Wen Changling stood at the hospital corridor window, staring blankly at the snow on the roof of the car shed outside.
Xie Shang put the hot drink he had bought into her hands, “What are you thinking about?”
“I was wondering if I would have become a nun if my mother hadn’t taken me home,” she shared with Xie Shang, “I was adopted from a temple, an unwanted child abandoned by someone else. Ah Na is from a distant relative’s family, orphaned and unwanted as well.”
The two of them were brought home by Wen Yuan on the same day, with Wen Changling arriving first, thus becoming the older sister.
Because Wen Yuan lived in seclusion, the people at the foot of the mountain didn’t know they were adopted siblings, nor did they know if Wen Yuan had any biological children or whose children they might be. They didn’t care, calling them all bastards regardless.
Of course, daughters of the Wen Family wouldn’t cast spells; they just had strong genes, each one born beautiful. But beauty became their original sin, and so most of them were very unfortunate.
“As a child, I heard the villagers at the foot of the mountain say that the daughters of the Wen Family were short-lived. They said we cast spells on others, so we’d suffer retribution and not live long.”
Xie Shang suddenly felt anxious, gripping Wen Changling’s hand, “No, you will have a long life.”
Will I really live long?
Wen Changling didn’t think so.
Wen Yuan only lived to thirty-eight, her mother also died young, and Wen Yuan’s father, grieving for his late wife, became a monk in a temple and spent half his life outside the secular world.
Because Xie Qingze adored Wen Yuan, he was unwilling to leave and ultimately lost his life in Wind Town. They were all sincere lovers, genuinely in love, but doomed by fate and branded as Gu by unrelated outsiders.
At 2:43 PM, the surgery was completed.
The chief surgeon reported that the operation went very smoothly, with Little Scar and Qin Qi both in the observation room.
Before leaving, Xie Shang asked He Dongzhou, “What are you planning to do about Qin Qi?”
Qin Qi’s defense lawyer was a partner at KE law firm, and Qin Qi’s case was approaching trial.
“Can’t sentence him to death; must keep him well-fed and well cared for.”
This course of action was certainly not due to He Dongzhou being kind-hearted; he was not kind, nor did he fear crime.
He said, “Qin Qi still has a kidney.”
Just in case, they had to keep it.
He Dongzhou would dare to do anything for Little Scar’s sake.
At 8 PM, Little Scar regained consciousness but was unable to speak, as the oxygen mask had not been removed. She moved her eyes, signaling to He Dongzhou that all was well.
He Dongzhou stayed by her side, “Little Scar.”
Her fingers tightened slightly, gripping his hand firmly.
“Don’t be afraid, from now on you’ll be healthy and live long.”
His eyes were very red.
Little Scar knew, her Mr. He had cried.
It was very likely that Qin Qi would receive a death sentence with a two-year suspension.
Liu Wenhua was still under investigation, and due to having both young and old dependents at home, she had applied for bail pending trial. The Qin Family’s movable and immovable properties had been liquidated and auctioned off.
Liu Wenhua sent Old Lady Zhao to a nursing home.
On the day Old Lady Zhao was sent away, she pointed at Liu Wenhua and cursed, “I’m your mother-in-law, and you actually want to send me to that kind of hellhole. Do you not want to take care of me, wishing for me to die outside?”
Liu Wenhua looked at her dispassionately, “Yes.”
Old Lady Zhao was at a loss for words.
“I have been wishing every day for the thirteen years I’ve been married into your Qin Family that you’d die outside.”
He Dongzhou had arranged the place where Liu Wenhua and Qin Nai were currently living. He Dongzhou promised that the shares under Qin Qi’s name would be transferred to Qin Nai when she came of age.
For that day, she had endured for thirteen years.
