Chapter 12 "I heard you are getting married to Lu Yu?"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Che stared at the phone screen for a long time until the screen automatically turned off.
He took a deep breath, put his phone back in his pocket, and turned to walk towards the clinic.
The wound on my wrist began to ache slightly.
There have been more children suffering from viral colds recently, and more people have needed blood tests. It was almost 7 o'clock when Lin Che finished treating the patients and left the hospital.
The weather was gradually entering deep autumn. When Lin Che arrived at the underground parking lot, he still hadn't adjusted to the weather. He felt the cold air was whistling into the bones of his body.
After get off work, he casually pulled back the few strands of black hair on his forehead with his wet hands, revealing his smooth forehead and exposing his cold face completely under the pale light of the parking lot.
Lin Che had just walked to her second-hand car when she heard a frivolous whistle behind her.
"Hey, isn't this my dear brother?"
Lin Che paused without looking back.
He was very familiar with this voice - Lin Yang, his half-brother, the most favored young master of the Lin family.
"What? You don't even want to look at me now?" Lin Yang walked over slowly, his leather shoes making crisp sounds on the cement floor of the underground garage. "Or... are you feeling guilty?"
Lin Che finally turned around and looked at Lin Yang with a cold gaze.
Lin Yang was wearing a well-tailored dark grey suit with a loosely hanging tie, looking cynical.
He was two years younger than Lin Che, but his features carried a frivolousness and arrogance that was completely different from Lin Che's.
"What's up?" Lin Che's voice was calm, as if he was just asking a stranger.
Lin Yang scoffed, put his hands in his pockets, and tilted his head to look at Lin Che: "I heard you are getting married to Lu Yu?"
Lin Che didn't answer, but just looked at him calmly.
"I really didn't expect that," Lin Yang's smile gradually turned sarcastic. "Lin Che, who has always been so aloof since childhood, ended up marrying Lu Yu just for money?"
Lin Che's eyes turned cold.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Lin Yang raised his eyebrows.
Lin Che's fingers tightened slightly, but he still didn't refute. He just said coldly, "Get out of the way."
Lin Yang not only didn't give in, but took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Why are you pretending? Do you think I don't know--"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Che's phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked down at the screen and saw the caller ID - Lin Zhenbang.
Lin Yang also caught a glimpse of the name on the screen, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Oh, Dad called personally? It seems like he can't wait to praise you?"
Lin Che ignored his taunting and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
Lin Zhenbang's deep and authoritative voice came from the other end of the line: "Lin Che, go home tomorrow night."
Lin Che's fingertips felt slightly cold. "What's the matter?"
"You are about to get married, shouldn't you come back?" Lin Zhenbang's tone left no room for doubt.
Lin Che was silent for a moment, but his eyes remained fixed on Lin Yang.
Lin Yang was looking at him with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery and contempt.
"...I understand." Lin Che finally replied.
The phone call ended and the underground garage fell silent again.
Lin Yang chuckled: "It seems that Dad is very satisfied with this marriage."
Lin Che put the phone back into her pocket, her eyes cold. "Are you done?"
Lin Yang shrugged: "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't congratulated you yet."
"No need." Lin Che turned and was about to leave.
Lin Yang suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist—which happened to be the hand that Lin Che was injured on.
Lin Che frowned suddenly. The wound on his wrist was pinched hard, and the pain spread instantly.
But he didn't make a sound and just looked at Lin Yang coldly.
Lin Yang seemed to have noticed something and looked down, only then did he discover a faint trace of blood under Lin Che's sleeves.
"Hey, are you hurt?"
Lin Yang pretended to be surprised, but the strength in his hands did not loosen at all, "Why, Lu Yu abused you?"
Lin Che pulled his hand back abruptly, with such force that Lin Yang staggered.
"Don't touch me." Lin Che's voice was as cold as ice.
After Lin Yang stood firm, the smile on his face finally disappeared.
He stared at Lin Che with a cold look in his eyes. "Do you think you can turn your life around by marrying Lu Yu? Lin Che, stop dreaming."
Just then, a dazzling headlight suddenly came from the corner, illuminating the dim parking lot.
Lin Yang subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, while Lin Che squinted and looked towards the light source.
A black Maybach slid silently to a stop beside them, and the window slowly lowered, revealing Lu Yu's well-defined profile.
He placed one hand on the steering wheel, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the leather surface, his eyes lightly sweeping over the two of them.
Lin Che was slightly startled. She didn't expect Lu Yu to appear suddenly.
At this moment, Lu Yu's gaze was on his wrist, and in those eyes that were always indifferent, there was now a faint and dangerous light flickering.
Lu Yu pushed open the car door and walked out. His custom-made leather shoes made a steady sound as they stepped on the ground. His height of nearly 1.9 meters brought the sense of oppression to the maximum in the dim basement.
Lu Yu spoke in a calm voice, "Second Master Lin, you are still in the hospital so late, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Yang released his grip on Lin Che and slowly adjusted his cuffs. "Mr. Lu, you're in a good mood. Are you here to pick up my brother personally?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "my brother" and looked provocatively.
Lu Yu's gaze lingered on Lin Che's bloodstained wrist, and a certain dangerous aura grew stronger.
"Lin Yang, my patience is not as good as others." Lu Yu's cold voice directly cut through the arrogant atmosphere.
The smile on Lin Yang's lips froze. He turned his head, raised his hands, took a step back and leaned against the car behind him.
"Mr. Lin, if you don't take good care of Lin Yang, I don't mind helping you discipline him." Lu Yu put one hand in his pocket, held the phone in the other hand and dialed Lin Zhenbang's number directly in front of Lin Yang.
"Yes, yes. I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't discipline him well. Please be magnanimous... I'm sorry... Mr. Lu..."
Lin Zhenbang's humble voice was amplified in the empty basement, and every bit of it penetrated Lin Yang's ears.
Lu Yu just held the phone, staring at Lin Yang with a sharp gaze, and said in a low and dangerous voice: "Did you hear that?"
Lin Yang's face turned pale in an instant.
He had never seen his father being so humble to anyone, and he never expected Lu Yu to humiliate him in front of him.
"Mr. Lu has good tactics."
Lin Yang forced a cold smile, but his voice was obviously trembling, "But..."
"But what?"
Lu Yu suddenly took a step forward, and his nearly 1.9-meter-tall figure cast a shadow that completely enveloped Lin Yang. "But do you think the Lin family can still protect you?"
He shook his head slightly, as if looking at an ignorant child, "The project in the south of the city, the land in the north of the city, and... "
He paused. "Your account at a Swiss bank?"
Lin Yang's pupils suddenly shrank.
These family secrets, which even he was not fully aware of, were actually spoken out by Lu Yu in a casual manner.
Lu Yu put the phone back to his ear and said, "Boss Lin, your son doesn't seem convinced."
His tone was as calm as if he were discussing the weather. "How about...meet at the board meeting tomorrow?"
Lin Zhenbang's urgent pleading voice from the other end of the phone was particularly harsh in the silent garage.
Ignoring Lin Zhenbang's humble pleas on the other end of the phone, Lu Yu's slender fingers directly pressed the hang-up button.
He slowly adjusted his cuffs and leaned over to whisper in Lin Yang's ear: "Remember, touch Lin Che..."
The voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it. "I will just tear down one brick of the Lin family."
Lu Yu turned around and took Lin Che behind him and stuffed him into the passenger seat of the Maybach. Before closing the door, he looked back at Lin Yang, who was standing there with a gloomy expression.
"I hope Master Lin will go back and tell your father that some accounts need to be settled."
