Chapter 863: Chapter 863: The Real Show Begins
The next day, Lin Gantang learned that Yin Zhen had been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home and that Jiang Chenying had also returned to the Yin family home.
Over the phone, Yin Zhen expressed her hope that she could take care of Jiang Chenying’s Ragdoll cat for her, and if she was willing, someone would bring the cat to her residence.
Lin Gantang planned to visit Yin Zhen directly and pick up the cat along the way.
In the Yin family home, Yin Zhen lay in the sickbed with the Ragdoll cat beside her.
Yin Zhen gently stroked its fur, “Baby is not safe at home; I’m afraid it might get hurt again. Could you take care of it for a while for me? Once things settle down here, I’ll take it back to keep my mum company.”
The last time at the villa, the Ragdoll cat was very wary, only willing to be with Jiang Chenying, but as time passed, it had gradually become willing to approach other people again.
Yin Zhen did not want this innocent little life to suffer again.
“No big deal, I’ll take good care of it for you and Auntie Ying,” Lin Gantang asked, “Why recuperate at the Yin house? The people there…”
“They agreed to let my mum come back to be with me on the condition that she must stay in the Yin house,” Yin Zhen rubbed the cat’s ears, her expression calm, “I’ve done as Grandpa Yin wished, not making it hard for Yin He. I suppose he will restrain Yin He from being too harsh on me. After all, I bear the Yin surname; daughters, well, can be used in marriage alliances and can still be exploited for some value.”
Lin Gantang frowned repeatedly upon hearing this.
Ever since Yin He returned, the elder members of the Lin family’s hearts had shifted to him. Once upon a time, Yin Zhen was the jewel in the palm of the Lin family when there was no Yin He, and she carried the Lin family’s burdens. Why didn’t Grandpa Yin speak up then?
“Are you still not fully recovered?” Lin Gantang looked at her with concern.
Yin Zhen smiled and asked her to lock the door.
Then Yin Zhen got up from the bed with ease, “It’s just a smoke screen. Right now, I need to let him think I’m not in a condition or have the energy to fight him, so when they let their guard down, that’s when the real show begins.”
Seeing that she was prepared, Lin Gantang felt much relieved.
“What about Auntie Ying?”
“She said she’s making me a nutritious stew; she’s watching over it in the kitchen right now.”
Yin Zhen handed her the cat, and the Ragdoll cat’s deep blue, beautiful eyes looked towards Lin Gantang.
Lin Gantang reached out and took it into her arms; the cat didn’t struggle, but it wasn’t willing to stay long and soon wriggled out of her embrace.
Yin Zhen brought up something, “On the day of my discharge, Lin Huan came looking for Lin Fan. Guess why he keeps asking around for news about Lin Fan?”
“Because Lin Fan is someone he knows?” Lin Gantang guessed.
Yin Zhen nodded, “Pretty much. He said Lin Fan resembles his younger brother who got lost when he was a child, but Lin Fan has no memory of Lin Huan or the Lin family.”
Lin Fan has family and friends, lives a normal, simple, happy life, and grew up like any ordinary child, so he’s never questioned his own origins.
“Lin Fan thought it was pitiable that Lin Huan was searching everywhere for his brother, and since it was at the hospital, he agreed to go with him for a paternity test.”
The next day, Lin Huan brought his father’s DNA sample and had the test conducted.
“What were the results?” Lin Gantang asked intently.
“The results confirmed their father-son relationship,” Yin Zhen said. “Lin Fan’s feelings are quite complex right now. After all, he agreed to the test out of sympathy for the Lin family’s difficulty in finding their son, just to cooperate. Who knew that his biological parents would turn out to be someone else.”
Lin Gantang couldn’t help but feel moved, “Lin Huan and his family have been looking for many years, right? It wasn’t easy. Even if Lin Fan can’t accept it at once, for the Lin Huan’s family, finding him is incredibly good news. At least the family member they found is alive and well, and they have met.”
