Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

Lin Lulu's heart skipped a beat; she could hardly believe what she was hearing.

The voice is familiar.

It's so familiar!

She was so familiar with it that she thought she must be hallucinating!

Looking in the direction of the sound, against the backdrop of a pristine white wall, Jing Sichen stood there, his suit a deep black that kept strangers at bay, his handsome face radiating a sullenness as fierce as a tornado.

The moment their eyes met, that sharp, menacing aura suddenly transformed into a warm ray of sunshine, and the way he walked towards her seemed to have its own background music, making people scream and worship wildly.

A strong, large hand reached out in front of her, and he bent down to help her up.

"M... Uncle?"

Her thin lips trembled, and even after he embraced her shoulders and she felt his warmth, she still felt that it was all a dream.

Weren't they supposed to never see each other again in this lifetime?

How did he end up here?

"I don't know what Lu'er did wrong to make you all dislike her so much." The indifferent voice carried a chilling intent. "Perhaps I should explain?"

Everyone present was stunned by his imposing presence, and for a moment they didn't even know what to say or do.

Lin Yao was the first to react, asking softly, "You are... Young Master Jing?"

Jing Sichen nodded slightly.

"Uncle!" Lin Lulu's eyes were filled with terror. "Why are you here? You should leave first! I'll come after I've dealt with things here..."

Before she could finish speaking, he continued, "From the day Lulu married me, she has always told me that her parents and sister are the most important people in her life, and that the bond between you two is something no one can break. My parents passed away early, and I haven't felt what parental love is like for a long time. Today, I specially came back to my parents' home with Lulu to feel my parents' love for me."

Hearing Jing Sichen's words, Lin Lulu was completely dumbfounded.

Ruined!

With her parents so enraged that they don't even acknowledge her anymore, how could she possibly acknowledge the older man?

I'm afraid they'll kick out the older man too!

Well... given Uncle's temperament, will he take his anger out on his parents?

"Uncle, you go back first..."

"You...are you really Young Master Jing?" Lin Yao looked Jing Sichen up and down. "But...rumors say that you..."

"The rumors have a huge misunderstanding about me," Jing Sichen said calmly. "It's my fault. I should have brought Lulu back a long time ago. Let Mom, Dad, and my sister truly understand me."

"Don't say that!" Lin Yao's face immediately softened. "It's a blessing for our whole family that Lulu is marrying you. Come on, come home and sit down. But... our home is really a bit simple, let's go to a hotel..."

"Didn't Lulu say anything? She probably wanted to surprise you!" Jing Sichen tightened his embrace of Lin Lulu. Although his words were polite, the coldness in his eyes grew even more piercing. "She bought you a new house in the city center, fully furnished, everything is bought, just bring your bags and move in. Why don't we all move in together today?"

"Really?" Zhuang Ping exclaimed with delight. "Lulu, why didn't you tell us sooner about something this big?"

"This child has been sensible since she was little." Jing Sichen patted the back of Lin Lulu's head, the prickly touch making his pupils shrink, and then said, "She likes to do things for the good of her family in secret, and doesn't dare to make a big fuss about it, just because she's afraid you'll feel pressured and say she's wasting money."

Lin Lulu looked at Jing Sichen, her big eyes filled with disbelief.

It was a perfectly normal statement, yet it inexplicably made her feel uneasy, as if he already knew about her and the masked man.

She had so many questions in her mind, but the fact that he was here, standing beside her, made her feel so secure and warm.

"Yes, yes!" Lin Yao replied awkwardly, "That's just Lulu's personality. Even if she does a good deed, she won't publicize it. So it often leads to misunderstandings."

"We're family, there's no misunderstanding here," Zhuang Ping said with a smile. "Then... let's not stand here talking? Let's go take a look at the new house?"

"I'll drive the car to the hospital entrance first, then you can pack up and come out," Jing Sichen said.

Obviously, we should avoid them for now and give them some time to talk alone.

Watching Jing Sichen's departing figure, Lin Lulu's heart suddenly tightened.

She was afraid that the scene of being abandoned would repeat itself.

When Lin Yao walked to her side, she trembled involuntarily.

"Is he really Jing Sichen?" Lin Yao asked.

Lin Lulu lowered her eyes, avoiding her father's gaze, and softly replied with an "Mm".

"It seems he really treats you well," Lin Yao said. "He doesn't know about your past, does he? Have you thought about what you would do if he found out?"

"He doesn't know," Lin Lulu said dejectedly.

Moreover, she had always thought that even if the older man knew, he would probably understand her.

"Lulu, do you blame your parents?" Lin Yao sighed. "Just now, we treated you like that."

"It's not my fault!" Lin Lulu quickly said. "I know you're actually worried about me and also resentful that I acted too rashly, which is why you're so angry."

"That's only part of the reason," Lin Yao said. "Actually, there were other selfish motives as well."

"Self-interest?"

"You've married Jing Sichen, and you'll be the much-anticipated Mrs. Jing. If this affair of yours before marriage is exposed, it will be a devastating blow to you. The Jing family will definitely not let it go! Do you think they'll let us off the hook then? Your mother and I are already old enough that it doesn't matter whether we live or die, but what about your sister? She barely escaped with her life. What if something happens to her because of you?" Lin Yao asked. "Besides severing ties with you, Dad really has no other choice."

Lin Lulu: I see!

So that's why she treated her that way, all to protect her younger sister!

It's not because I don't understand her.

It's not that I really don't want her.

"Dad!" Lin Lulu's tears suddenly fell. "I'm sorry. It's because I wasn't strong enough that I caused so much trouble! Don't worry, it won't happen again! I will definitely protect you with all my might and make sure you are never bullied by anyone again!"

"How can we blame you? If it weren't for you, our family would be in chaos by now," Lin Yao said. "We owe you so much. We're the ones who should be letting you down."

"Sister," Lin Bao'er also shed tears, "I'm sorry for making you sacrifice so much for me."

"Lulu," Zhuang Ping's eyes also reddened, "Don't blame Mom. Okay?"

"Dad. Mom. Bao'er." Lin Lulu wiped away her tears and smiled. "We're family! Don't be so formal! Let's go to our new home! Don't keep Uncle waiting! But, Bao'er, can you go home now? How are you feeling? You…"

"I can go home!" Lin Bao'er said. "I really want to see my new home! I hate hospitals!"

Lin Lulu nodded, "I'll definitely let you choose your room first! You can stay wherever you like! But..."

She paused, then added, "However, the uncle has a rather eccentric temper, but please don't blame him. He actually has a very kind heart!"

"You absolutely must keep your premarital affairs a secret from him, you must never tell him!" Lin Yao instructed. "Otherwise, our family might really be in mortal danger."
