Lin nglu earnestly suggested to Lin Qianli, "Brother, I think being Shi Guang’s little dad is pretty good. Why don’t you consider it?"
Lin Qianli glared at Lin nglu as if looking at death, "What did you say?"
Lin nglu shared her well-thought-out reasoning, "If you beco Shi Guang’s little dad, then you’ll be soone who can walk around with clout!"
"Just think about it, how impressive is Shi Guang? With her backing you up, you can do anything you want."
"As your sister, I’d also rise with the tide." Lin nglu giggled with delight at her beautiful thought.
Lin Qianli forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "You’re saying all this just because you can rise with the tide, right?"
How could he not know his own sister’s true colors?
Indeed, that was exactly what Lin nglu had been thinking.
However...
To admit it outright, even she felt a tad embarrassed.
Right there she said, "Although I can enjoy the benefits thanks to my brother, more importantly, I’m thinking about you."
"After all, you reap the lion’s share of the benefits."
As she spoke, she made faces, all to get Lin Qianli to agree.
Lin Qianli almost wanted to crack open her head to see if it was filled with mush.
Being Shi Guang’s little dad indeed had its advantages.
Having such a walking humanoid super-robot at one’s side, others would think twice before ssing with him.
But...
The premise for enjoying the benefits was having the life to do so!
Being Shi Guang’s little dad was akin to being Shi Yaoguang’s little man.
Rounding up, he would be Shi Yaoguang’s little husband, and how could Quan Jinbei, the powerful and influential big husband, allow this "vixen" to stay by Shi Yaoguang’s side?
He would definitely need to be cut down at the roots!
That said, if he were to be cut down at the roots...
Could he enjoy any benefits from being Shi Guang’s little dad?
Yes!
But, he was not fortunate enough to enjoy them.
Therefore, being Shi Guang’s little dad, he wouldn’t actually get to enjoy any benefits.
Given this, why should he agree?
After listening to Lin Qianli’s analysis, Lin nglu mulled it over and said, "But there are still benefits, right?"
Lin Qianli questioned, "Where are they?"
Lin nglu pointed at herself, "Though you can’t enjoy them, I can."
"There’s a term for it, ’surplus blessings.’"
Lin nglu solemnly said, "Even if you can’t enjoy them, I can, can’t I? I’m your sister, enjoying your surplus blessings, isn’t that what’s supposed to happen?"
Lin Qianli: "..."
Looking at his sister’s innocent and simple expression, he silently twisted his mouth into a sinister smile.
Faced with her brother’s frightening expression, Lin nglu weakly said, "Actually..."
"I don’t particularly want to take advantage of this. Rather than benefits, I think you are more important, brother."
Lin Qianli humd coldly, "You think by saying that, I will let you off this ti?"
Lin nglu with a pitiful look: "Then what else? I haven’t enjoyed any benefits as your sister, yet I’m being bullied by you. Is this how you act as a brother?"
Lin Qianli: "I’m nowhere near as good as you are at making unjust accusations."
Lin nglu weakly retorted, "I’m not making unjust accusations, am I? It’s really like that..."
Shi Guang had initially wanted Lin Qianli to be her little dad, but watching the interaction between the Lin siblings, she suddenly didn’t want him for the role anymore.
What if such a little dad brought down her IQ? No, absolutely not; she decisively rejected the idea.
And so, Lin Qianli’s "paternity crisis" was successfully averted.
He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, all was still well...
Little did he know, his sister was genuienly feeling sorry at this mont.
...
A group of people boarded the plane ho, and soon arrived at the place where the Lin family patriarch was recuperating.
The patriarch lived in the Jiangnan area, and although his physical health was not great, his spirits were very high.
Seeing Lin Qianli bring Shi Yaoguang back, he didn’t show any surprise.
In fact, the Lin family had tried every conceivable thod for the sake of their patriarch’s health.
But cancer, this illness, is not so easy to cure.
Even though he knew his condition was incurable, the patriarch would not reject his descendants’ kindness.
"Grandpa, Miss Shi is very talented. With her here, she will definitely be able to cure you!"
As soon as Lin nglu saw them, she couldn’t help but chatter away.
In fact, she truly believed that Shi Yaoguang had that capability.
The patriarch was noncommittal.
If Lin nglu hadn’t professed her belief that Shi Yaoguang would definitely be able to cure him, he might have held so hope.
But with her saying that...
Heh, his hope had imdiately vanished.
It was impossible to harbor hope.
The patriarch wasn’t one to dismiss soone’s worth just because of their young age.
But...
Age, at certain tis, still could indicate certain issues.
Therefore, he still felt that Shi Yaoguang might just be good at talking, skilled in deceiving people.
Lin Qianli knew what the patriarch was thinking as soon as he saw him and imdiately said, "Grandfather, you mustn’t doubt Miss Shi’s abilities. She really is amazing!"
The patriarch scrutinized Shi Yaoguang carefully before saying with so puzzlent, "Why do I feel like I’ve seen her sowhere before?"
Lin nglu let out a hee-hee and said, "Grandpa, you haven’t seen her, but it’s not strange that you recognize her."
"You don’t know yet? She’s my idol!"
The patriarch looked down, "Your idol, isn’t she a celebrity?"
As he looked more carefully, he indeed noticed sothing.
"You are that very popular celebrity these days, right?"
Shi Yaoguang nodded and explained, "My na is Shi Yaoguang, yes, the celebrity you ntioned."
"While I am a celebrity, don’t doubt my dical skills just because of that."
"Oh?" The patriarch seed quite interested in Shi Yaoguang, "I’ve never seen soone who is both a celebrity and a part-ti doctor."
"If you don’t believe , how about I examine you first?"
Without saying anything else, just Shi Yaoguang’s attitude made the patriarch feel very comfortable.
At his age, the patriarch had t more people than less.
Among so many people, it was quite rare to find soone who made him feel very comfortable.
Shi Yaoguang’s ability to give him this feeling was enough for him to take her seriously.
Having passed the patriarch’s "test," Shi Yaoguang was then taken into the room by the patriarch.
Inside the room, there lay many dical devices.
These were the patriarch’s "saved-up treasures."
Well, to put it plainly, these were just the devices recomnded by dical experts after the patriarch fell ill.
But even with all these purchases, they hadn’t been able to positively affect the patriarch’s condition.
Each ti the Lin family mbers entered this room, their hearts felt incredibly heavy.
This was also why the Lin family mbers were close.
If the relationship had been poorer, when the patriarch fell ill, their thoughts would naturally not be about the patriarch’s health, but about how the family’s wealth should be divided after the patriarch’s death.
