Lin Yusheng was worried about her father's health, and said, "Send me your address, and I'll come over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yusheng realized that Lu Zhengye had been watching her the whole time.
His wisps of hair fell to his eyebrows, softening his otherwise cold and hard demeanor.
Lin Yusheng, her eyes red, patted her head.
Lu Zhengye's dissatisfaction and doubt were clearly visible.
Lin Yusheng said, "My father is hospitalized, and I have to go to the hospital."
"I'll take you there."
Lu Zhengye's words left Lin Yusheng speechless.
Lu Zhengye said, "I won't go in. I'll take you to the hospital entrance."
Lin Yusheng smiled and nodded.
It would be difficult to get her parents to overcome their dissatisfaction with Lu Zhengye, especially since her father was ill, and Lin Yusheng dared not upset him any further.
...
When they arrived at the hospital, Lin Jingyu was waiting for Lin Yusheng at the entrance.
He saw his sister, wearing a mask, get out of the back seat of a Rolls-Royce, and his eyes darkened.
Lin Yusheng said goodbye to Lu Zhengye and then quickly walked towards Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu: "Who brought you here?"
Lin Yusheng choked.
"I want to see my dad first."
Lin Jingyu remained silent and led Lin Yusheng inside.
Lin Yusheng followed behind him.
While waiting for the elevator, Lin Yusheng asked, "Why did Dad suddenly fall ill?"
"Deng Rongfan came to plead for Deng Xingwen. After Dad refused, he used your affair with Lu Zhengye as a threat. Dad couldn't accept it and fainted. Then it was found out that he has high blood sugar."
Lin Yusheng fought back tears; it was the Deng family again.
"Did Dad agree to it?"
"No, Dad knows that if they weren't afraid of the Lu family, they would have made your affair with Lu Zhengye public long ago, so they didn't fall for it."
There were only the brother and sister in the elevator.
Lin Yusheng asked, "Brother, are you angry with me?"
"What do I blame you for?"
Lin Yusheng lowered her head. "Ultimately, it was I who made Dad sick."
"So you don't deny your relationship with Lu Zhengye?"
Lin Yusheng gripped the bag in her hand tightly.
She took a deep breath and then said, "He's very good to me."
"You have Dad, Mom, and me to take care of you, right?" Lin Jingyu said, suppressing his emotions. It was the first time he had ever been angry with his younger sister.
But the next second, looking at Lin Yusheng's reddened eyes, he let go of all his bad emotions.
He sighed, "Dad is angry not only because of Deng Rongfan's shameless threats, but also because everyone is saying that you don't respect yourself. Don't you know how much distance is between you and Lu Zhengye?"
"I know, it's separated by the prejudices of the world."
Lin Jingyu choked.
"You had dinner with us last time, didn't you? Is he as cold-blooded and aloof as the rumors say?" Lin Yusheng asked Lin Jingyu.
Lin Jingyu, "No matter what, he has a bad reputation and is despised by everyone."
"That's because no one loves him, because the matriarch of the Lu family isn't his mother, but Xie Yuqiong, who can't tolerate anyone."
"You mean you think it's not wrong for his mother to be a mistress?" Lin Jingyu's chest heaved with anger.
“What I mean is that Lu Zhengye is not wrong. He cannot choose his birth. He has already suffered a lot. He finally recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan, but he went from one hell to another. Isn’t he pitiful?”
Lin Jingyu choked, "But his misery is not caused by us."
"Yes, the culprit is clearly Lu Jiwen, but because he is the head of the Lu family, no one dares to say it."
Lin Jingyu was stunned by Lin Yusheng's remarks.
Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the elevator.
He said coldly, "From now on, it's fine to say these things behind someone's back, but you can't say them in public, no matter who you're talking to."
"I know."
The elevator doors opened, and Lin Jingyu said, "Don't make Dad angry when you go in later."
"good."
Lin Yusheng suddenly felt very tired. She felt sorry for Lu Zhengye, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew Lu Zhengye's future status, but no one in her family would believe her if she told them now.
They knocked on the hospital room door, and the brother and sister pushed it open and went in.
Jiang Yuanshuang is feeding Lin Mu porridge.
Upon seeing Lin Yusheng, a complex mix of emotions flashed in their eyes—heartache, self-blame, and a hint of anger. In the end, Jiang Yuanshuang simply turned her face away and wiped away her tears.
Lin Mu kept looking at Lin Yusheng.
Lin Yusheng's eyes welled up with tears. Her father neither smoked nor drank, and was usually in excellent health, never having been hospitalized.
The sight of him in his hospital gown stung Lin Yusheng's eyes.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Did Dad scare you?"
Lin Yusheng shook her head frantically, too saddened to speak for a moment.
Lin Mu beckoned to her and said, "Come and sit down."
Lin Yusheng took off her mask and walked over, carefully sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Dad, I'm sorry, I made you worry."
Lin Mu sighed, a deep sense of self-reproach appearing in his slightly tired eyes, "It's Dad's fault for not protecting you."
"No, it's because I wasn't careful enough."
Jiang Yuanshuang composed herself and turned around. She said angrily, "We will not forgive the Deng family. All cooperation with them is canceled."
Lin Mu nodded.
Lin Yusheng asked with some concern, "Won't our family lose a lot of money?"
“We’re not short of money. You’re our only daughter. We can’t let you be bullied like this. Deng Xingwen must go to jail,” Lin Mu said angrily.
He coughed violently because of the intense emotional fluctuations.
Lin Yusheng and Lin Jingyu quickly helped him pat his back.
After Lin Mu finished coughing, the couple looked at each other.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
Jiang Yuanshuang said, "Shengsheng, why don't you move back in today?"
"Why? My home is too far from the company."
Lin Yusheng vaguely guessed why.
Lin Mu: "You and that boy from the Lu family can no longer associate with each other."
With her words brought to light, Lin Yusheng bit her lip.
"Dad, have you seen the TV series I filmed? It became a hit. Director Fu even praised me for having a lot of talent as an actor. I really like it too."
Lin Yusheng's eyes reddened as she spoke.
Jiang Yuanshuang felt sorry for you and quickly said, "Your father and I both watched it. We watched the TV as soon as it was updated. We didn't say we wouldn't let you be an actress, we just didn't want you to work at Shenggan."
“But Sheng Gan gave me this opportunity, and I cannot be ungrateful.”
Lin Mu said, "We'll pay double the penalty for breach of contract. You don't have to sign with the company anymore; you can set up your own studio. Dad will back you up. But you can't get close to that Lu family brat anymore."
“Your parents are doing this for your own good. Do you know what people are saying about you? It breaks our hearts to the point of not being able to breathe when we hear it. Be more sensible.” Jiang Yuanshuang bursts into tears whenever she mentions this.
"Not only that, the Lu family is far more complicated than you imagine. Madam Lu will not tolerate an illegitimate child. The undercurrents behind the scenes are beyond your imagination. Just consider it for your parents' sake and cut ties with him as well."
Lin Yusheng was completely lost and didn't know what to do.
