I've Reborn, Who Still Cares About Your Whole Family?

Lin An was reborn. In his previous life, he was the true son of the Lin family, yet the entire family doted solely on the adopted son, Lin Zhe. His father didn't care for him, his mother didn&#...

Chapter 178 Lin Zhe Ran Away

After finishing their meal, Zhang Wanru followed Chen Xiaohe out of the restaurant.

A brand-new Bentley pulled up in front of them, and a driver wearing white gloves got out and respectfully greeted Chen Xiaohe, "Good morning, Chairman!"

Chen Xiaohe nodded slightly: "Let's find a high-end supermarket first, take us there to buy some groceries, and then take us home."

The driver immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Chairman."

He then opened the rear door and respectfully invited the two people to get in.

Zhang Wanru thoroughly enjoyed the service, as if she had rediscovered the feeling of being a lady of high society—no, even more so than before, since this time she was riding in a Bentley, a far cry from Lin Haoran's Porsche.

She tilted her chin slightly, enjoying the feeling of being superior, and couldn't help but feel grateful for her good fortune. It seemed that getting on this bus would change her life, and she would be a person above others from now on.

They arrived at an imported goods supermarket and the two of them pushed a cart together to select groceries.

The two chatted and laughed, like a couple deeply in love.

To showcase her refined taste, Zhang Wanru insisted on having a Western meal that evening, choosing high-end steak and red wine, both of which were quite expensive.

Chen Xiaohe was very generous, constantly suggesting things for Zhang Wanru to buy, and even asking about Lin An's preferences:

"Wanru, what does your son Lin An like to eat? I'll write it down, and I'll treat him to a good meal when I have the chance."

“He…likes…” Zhang Wanru stammered, feeling somewhat flustered by the question. She was angry at Chen Xiaohe for being so tactless. Why did he have to ask such a difficult question? How could she know what Lin An liked to eat? In the past few years, her mind had been on Lin Zhe, and she had no time to care about Lin An.

Zhang Wanru answered with a forced smile, "He's a bit of a meat lover, and he likes braised pork chops with scallions and sweet and sour pork."

She couldn't make up a lie right away, so she could only attribute Lin Zhe's favorite food to Lin An. For a moment, she felt a pang of sadness.

It seems she was a terrible mother, not knowing her biological son's preferences and only remembering the illegitimate child.

However, this feeling of self-blame was fleeting, and Zhang Wanru immediately immersed herself in the sweetness of love again, dragging Chen Xiaohe to go shopping.

......

On the other side, Lin Zhe was sitting on the hospital bed browsing Jiang Mian's social media page.

Jiang Mian likes to share glimpses of her daily life on social media. She gained admission to a prestigious university through her aerobics skills, and now, with the summer vacation just beginning, she is vacationing on an island with several classmates who are also gifted in aerobics.

In her latest photos, Jiang Mian is seen wearing a nude bikini, confidently showing off her figure by the pool at her vacation villa.

Lin Zhe felt a little annoyed, thinking that Jiang Mian was not behaving like a proper wife. She was clearly his future wife, so how could she show her to the public without his permission?

Yang Li and Fang Hong, who were in the hospital room, were discussing discharge procedures.

Lin Zhe's fractures do not require hospitalization, and his fertility problem is basically unsolvable, so keeping him in the hospital would be a waste of medical resources.

The two planned to rent a house and recover after being discharged from the hospital.

At this moment, Fang Hong suddenly stood up, closed the ward door, turned around and whispered in Yang Li's ear:

"Don't you think that caregiver who's always loitering in the hallway looks familiar?"

Fang Hong had been smoking for many years, and his breath smelled incredibly strong, almost suffocating Yang Li.

Yang Li was annoyed that he was so close, and instinctively reached out to push him away: "Just talk, why are you standing so close? There are two caregivers outside every day, which one are you talking about?"

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Fang Hong blinked hard, trying to get Yang Li to lower her voice.

He continued in a low voice, "I'm talking about those two. When I was getting water today, I suddenly remembered that I think I saw these two people at Jiren Hospital. They were also working as caregivers."

Upon hearing this, Yang Li became nervous: "Now that you mention it, I seem to remember something. Could it be that they came to Beijing from Shanghai with us?"

"I suspect so, and usually the protective equipment workers are women. These two grown men were just wandering around. Isn't that strange?"

A flicker of fear crossed Yang Li's eyes as she asked worriedly, "They're not after Xiao Zhe's baby, are they?"

Fang Hong said in a deep voice, "Very likely!"

"Our hospital deposit is almost used up, isn't it? If we can't go through the discharge procedures, let's just leave," Yang Li suggested.

"What are you two talking about?" Lin Zhe couldn't hear their whispers, but seeing their tense expressions, he guessed it wasn't anything good.

Upon hearing this, the two quickly sat down around Lin Zhe's bedside.

The three of them huddled together and began to discuss it.

The people in the studio outside, seeing the ward door closed, assumed Lin Zhe had wet his pants again and was changing them, and didn't notice anything unusual.

The two hadn't eaten lunch because they were keeping an eye on someone. So one of them got up to buy food, leaving the other to watch over the person.

Before the person who bought the food returned, the ward door opened.

Yang Li walked out disheveled, suddenly grabbed one of the man's hands with both of hers, and shouted, "Indecent assault! Indecent assault! Help!"

During lunch break, the usually deserted corridor was suddenly filled with heads popping up from various wards.

At this moment, Yang Li's actions were extremely deceptive; outsiders couldn't tell whether she was pulling someone to touch her or preventing someone from touching her.

Logically speaking, with Yang Li's current appearance, no one should want to harm her.

However, two or three righteous men quickly stepped forward and restrained the man: "Stop! In broad daylight, stop right now!"

Yang Li quickly released the man, who panicked and raised his hands, shouting, "I didn't! I didn't do anything!"

Yang Li cried and shouted, "Oh no! I don't want to live anymore! I was just passing by, and he grabbed me and wouldn't let go!"

At this point, more people gathered around, offering their analyses of the situation.

Most people think the man's actions were shameful, while a minority say they should let things play out for a while. They argue that the man isn't bad-looking and shouldn't have touched Yang Li, suggesting that the two could switch places.

Soon, the two groups started arguing.

At this moment, Fang Hong pushed Lin Zhe out of the ward. Yang Li, her face covered in tears, covered her clothes and said she needed to go to the bathroom to tidy herself up.

By the time the person who bought the food returned and saw the empty ward, it was too late.

When the onlookers realized that the main person involved in the incident had not returned, they lost interest in arguing and gradually dispersed.

The two searched the hospital thoroughly, but had to accept reality: the person had run away.

The two were on the verge of tears. They had finally found a client who was generous and easy to work with, but damn it! The project was canceled! They really couldn't bear to lose the 600 yuan daily travel allowance.

They had no choice but to report the matter to Lin An.
