Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Chapter 116 Misunderstanding of Identity Under a Huge Favor

"Son-in-law."

The two words, spoken by Zhou Cheng, were neither too loud nor too soft, yet they sent a rush of blood to Lin Wanwan's head.

Her face instantly became frighteningly hot, the heat reaching all the way to her ears.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, almost leaping out of my throat.

"I...I..." Her lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single complete word; her mind was a complete mess.

Zhou Cheng was in a good mood as he looked at her shy and embarrassed appearance.

He didn't ask any further questions, just chuckled and restarted the car.

The Ferrari smoothly glided into Mirror Lake and stopped in front of the gate of Courtyard No. 1.

For the next few days, the lives of everyone in the Lin family revolved around the hospital.

With the money he was spending, Lin Jianguo's health was recovering at an astonishing rate.

After being discharged from the ICU, he was taken directly to a VIP suite on the top floor of the hospital. The room was larger than his old house, fully equipped with appliances, and even had a small living room specifically for receiving guests.

Two experienced caregivers provide 24-hour close care.

The city's top rehabilitation experts and nutritionists provide daily home visits.

All of this left the relatives and friends who came to visit completely dumbfounded.

Looking at Lin Jianguo, whose complexion was getting better day by day, and then at his aunt's family, who had arranged everything so meticulously, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

"Jianguo, this isn't suffering for you, it's bliss!"

"That's right, sister-in-law, your family has really married into a wealthy family! You'll have to think of us in the future!"

"I heard that the money for Jianguo's medical treatment was all given by his niece's boyfriend? Good heavens, what kind of family must they be?"

Various rumors quickly spread like wildfire among relatives.

Lin Wanwan's mysterious and wealthy boyfriend became a legend in everyone's eyes.

Zhou Cheng himself only appeared on the first day and never came to the hospital again.

He may not be there, but his shadow is everywhere.

Housekeeper Wang sends a driver to pick up and drop off Mr. and Mrs. Lin every day. The private chef at No. 1 Courtyard prepares three meals a day, packs them in insulated containers, and delivers them to the ward on time.

Various top-grade supplements, whose names I can't even recall, are being sent to the hospital like a flowing river.

Even for Lin Qiang's internship at the state-owned enterprise, the HR manager personally called and politely said that he could be promoted to a full-time position ahead of schedule.

After this whole operation, Lin's relatives finally understood.

The Lin family is about to soar to new heights.

And the source of all this is Mr. Zhou, whose name is known but whose face is never seen.

Thus, a misunderstanding that everyone tacitly understood was confirmed.

That day, Lin Jianguo was in much better spirits and was able to sit up against the headboard.

Auntie specially booked a large private room at a restaurant next to the hospital, saying she wanted to treat Mr. and Mrs. Lin to a meal to express her sincere gratitude.

At the dinner table, Aunt Lin held Lin's mother's hand, her face beaming with joy.

"Sister-in-law! This time, we really owe it all to Wanwan, and... and our son-in-law!"

Her calling him "son-in-law" was both loud and natural.

Lin's mother's smile froze. She wanted to explain, but the words stuck in her throat.

How do you explain that?

They're saying Zhou Cheng isn't their son-in-law?

People will immediately ask, if he's not the son-in-law, why would he spend millions to treat your brother's illness?

She couldn't answer that question.

Lin's father remained silent, focusing only on drinking.

Seeing their reaction, the aunt felt even more certain and spoke to them even more warmly.

"Sister-in-law, look, Jianguo's health is getting better. Shouldn't we start getting things done between our two families?"

"What is it?" Lin's mother could only pretend to be confused.

"What else could it be! It's Wanwan's marriage to her fiancé, of course!" Auntie slapped her thigh, her voice rising. "The fiancé is such a good person, we have to hurry! We need to pick a good day and get the marriage arranged!"

Lin Qiang chimed in from the side, "Yeah, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, my sister and brother-in-law are a match made in heaven! It would be so great if they got married sooner!"

They kept calling him "son-in-law" and "brother-in-law," making Lin Wanwan's face turn red and white, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Aunt... it's still early for him and me." She retorted softly, but even she herself didn't sound confident in her voice.

"Oh dear, it's getting late!" Her aunt interrupted her directly. "At your age, back in our hometown, your kids would be running around all over the place! It's settled then! I'll find someone to pick an auspicious date later!"

The meal was finished in this strange yet lively atmosphere.

Lin Wanwan felt like a puppet on strings, being pushed around by everyone, without even the strength to struggle.

That evening, just as she returned to Courtyard No. 1, Zhou Cheng called.

"At the hospital?"

"No... I just got back."

"Come downstairs, I'm at the door."

Lin Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.

She quickly changed her clothes and ran downstairs.

The fiery red Ferrari was parked under the Moon Gate. The red color of the car body looked very deep in the night. It lay there quietly, yet it had an indescribable sense of oppression.

Zhou Cheng leaned against the car door, dressed casually, a bit more relaxed than usual, but his aura remained undiminished.

"Get in the car." He opened the car door for her.

"Where...are we going?"

"I'll take you somewhere."

The car drove out of Jinghu Lake and onto Hang Lung Plaza in the city center.

The mall was about to close, and there weren't many people left.

Zhou Cheng took her hand and led her directly to the top floor in the elevator.

The top floor is a private club that is not open to the public and is decorated in an extremely luxurious manner.

Zhou Cheng was clearly a regular customer. As soon as the manager saw him, he immediately came up to him and respectfully led them into a private room with the best view.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows here, you can see half of the city's night view at your feet.

"What would you like to drink?" Zhou Cheng asked her.

"...Plain water is fine." Lin Wanwan was still uneasy.

Zhou Cheng smiled and ordered himself a glass of whiskey.

The two sat on the sofa, looking at the city lights outside the window, and remained silent for a while.

After a long while, Zhou Cheng finally spoke.

"I heard I became your son-in-law today?"

Lin Wanwan's body tensed up instantly.

She knew she couldn't hide this from him.

"I'm sorry... My aunt and uncle misunderstood. I explained, but they wouldn't listen..." Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"Really?" Zhou Cheng swirled the wine in his glass, the ice cubes clinking against the glass. "And what about you?"

"What?" Lin Wanwan didn't understand.

Zhou Cheng turned his head, and his dark eyes shone with a frightening brightness in the dim light.

He looked at her and asked, word by word.

"Do you want this misunderstanding to become true?"
