After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

"Yeah, she seems to be in a bad mood. She just spaced out after answering a phone call."

Lei Xiangqing asked with some concern, "Should I go call her?"

"No."

Lin Li shook his head. "You should go back to your room and sleep. I have something to talk to your aunt about alone."

Lei Xiangqing paused for a moment, looking at Lin Li's serious expression. Although she was a little confused, she still nodded obediently: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first."

After she returned to her room, Lin Li walked to Lin Yuehua's bedroom door and gently knocked on it.

"Auntie, it's me."

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

Lin Yuehua's somewhat tired voice came from inside.

Lin Li pushed open the door and entered, only to see his aunt sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a light blue nightgown.

"You're back?"

Lin Yuehua saw Lin Li and forced a smile: "Are you hungry? Shall I heat up your food?"

"I'm not hungry."

Lin Li walked up to her, squatted down, and took Lin Yuehua's slightly cold hand. "Auntie, I have something I want to ask you."

Lin Yuehua's hand trembled slightly. Thinking of Su Qian's phone call earlier that day, her eyes darted away: "What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"

"About my background."

Lin Li looked directly into her eyes and said, word by word.

Lin Yuehua's face instantly turned pale. She abruptly pulled her hand back, her voice filled with panic: "What...what are you saying?"

"You are your parents' biological son, the young master of the Lin family. What is there to ask about your background?"

"Auntie, don't lie to me."

Lin Li, noticing Lin Yuehua's evasive gaze, said in a deep voice, "It was Su Qian who called you today, right?"

"She misunderstood our relationship before and said such hurtful things. I've thought about it for a long time. Although she can be a bit willful, she's definitely not stupid."

Lin Yuehua's face grew paler and paler. She tried to stand up, but Lin Li pressed her shoulder down.

"Auntie."

The man's deep voice rang out, "If you and I were truly blood-related aunt and niece, how could Su Qian possibly have such an absurd idea?"

"Unless... she knows something I don't."

Lin Yuehua's eyes began to moisten, but she still didn't say anything.

"Auntie, tell me the truth."

Lin Li looked at Lin Yuehua, his voice tinged with pain and confusion: "Who am I? Where did I come from?"

"Xiao Li... I'm sorry..."

After a long while, Lin Yuehua finally couldn't hold back her tears and they slowly flowed out.

"I shouldn't have kept it from you... but... but I was afraid that if you knew the truth, you would leave me... leave the Lin family..."

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat, and he gripped her shoulders tightly: "Auntie, what exactly happened?"

Lin Yuehua took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Actually... you are not my brother-in-law and sister's biological son."

Although he had been mentally prepared, Lin Li still felt his mind go blank when he heard the truth with his own ears.

"My brother-in-law... was exposed to radiation during experiments in his early years and is completely infertile."

Lin Yuehua stared intently at the ground, not daring to look at Lin Li, and said in a choked voice, "To protect my brother-in-law's dignity, my sister has always claimed to the outside world that she is unwell."

"That year, they went to a Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng to burn incense. On their way down the mountain, they heard a baby crying in the grass... That baby was you."

"At that time, you were wrapped in a swaddling cloth, and you had nothing on you except a jade pendant engraved with the character '礼' (li, meaning propriety)."

She thought of the insults those people had said to her sister behind her back, and her tears flowed even more freely.

"My sister and brother-in-law felt that you were a gift from God, so they took you home and raised you as their own son."

"No one knows about this except my brother-in-law, sister, and me."

"What about Su Qian?"

Lin Li frowned and pressed, "How did Su Qian know?"

"Qianqian... found out by accidentally overhearing my conversation with my sister."

Lin Yuehua gripped Lin Li's arm tightly, her face pleading, "Xiao Li, although you're not a biological child of the Lin family, in my sister's and brother-in-law's hearts, and in my heart, you are our closest person!"

"Don't go...don't leave me..."

She only has her nephew left as a relative, and if even her nephew leaves, she really doesn't know how she will go on living.

"..."

Lin Li looked at the woman in front of him who was constantly crying with complicated emotions. It turned out that he was an abandoned baby!

Thinking about her intimate actions with Lin Yuehua, it's no wonder Su Qian misunderstood their relationship... That blood ties never existed from the beginning!

"Xiao Li... I really didn't mean to lie to you..."

Seeing the fear and unease in Lin Yuehua's eyes, Lin Li felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart.

"fool."

He pulled her into his arms, held her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "How could I leave? How could I not want you?"

"No matter who I am, no matter whose blood flows in my veins, you will always be my aunt, the most important person in my world."

Lin Yuehua hugged Lin Li tightly, choking back tears and unable to speak.

"The kindness of raising and nurturing is greater than heaven."

Lin Li stroked her hair and said in a deep voice, "My parents raised me, and you protected me. You are my family for life."

"A small gift..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuehua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Lin Li's phone rang.

Lin Yuehua was startled. Realizing that she was still being held tightly by the man, her face flushed. She quickly broke free from Lin Li's embrace and wiped away her tears.

Lin Li frowned upon seeing Ming Yanbin's name but still answered the phone: "Feed? Okay! I'll be right there!"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that his expression had turned somewhat grim, Lin Yuehua quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Ming Yanbin explained that the four permits for the Wanhao City project were blocked, forcing the construction site to stop. His father was so anxious that he collapsed."

Seeing his aunt's anxious expression, Lin Li explained, "The hospital has issued a critical condition notice, and they want me to go there."

"Walk!"

Without a word, Lin Yuehua grabbed Lin Li and started walking outside. "Let's go take a look!"

She didn't give her nephew a chance to speak, fearing he would leave her at home alone.

……

Outside the emergency room of the provincial hospital.

When Lin Li and Lin Yuehua arrived, the emergency room lights were still on red.

On a bench in the corridor sat a middle-aged woman dressed in a prosperous manner.

Standing next to her was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in designer clothes, with dyed blond hair, and looking impatient.

"Oh dear, why is my life so miserable!"

Fan Lan wiped away her tears and complained to her son, "I told you from the beginning that we couldn't give that half of the shares to that guy surnamed Lin!"

"Your dad wouldn't listen! He kept saying that person was a master, a powerful backer! Now look what happened! He didn't get any support, and instead got himself into a mess!"
