"Brother, is this your girlfriend?"
The midday sun was shining brightly, and the light reflected strongly. Lu Yunshen couldn't clearly see the face of the girl in the photo.
But his teasing made Feng Lin's heart skip a beat. He reached out and turned the photo frame upside down on the table.
Snap—
"Brother?"
"No." Feng Lin paused. "She's a younger sister. I'll introduce you to her when I have time later."
"Okay, got it."
Lu Yunshen didn't continue to ask. But this was like a time bomb, constantly reminding Feng Lin that he had shamelessly impersonated his younger brother's identity.
The joy of the reunion with his family in his heart was somewhat dispelled.
Just wait a little longer, Feng Lin thought.
As long as he was careful enough, maybe his younger brother and Xiaoyu wouldn't have another chance to meet before the surgery.
He would adjust his mindset and try his best to make up for it. After the surgery, he would explain everything clearly to both of them.
But life is always full of randomness and surprises.
Although Feng Lin had arranged for Lu Yunshen to be in the ward on the twelfth floor, the farthest one, and the consultation had decided that the surgery would be carried out in three days.
Su Xianyu came to this floor, which she never usually set foot on, while delivering medicine for her colleague.
"Brother, you... you're sick?"
Seeing "Feng Lin" not wearing a white coat but a hospital gown, Su Xianyu stepped forward anxiously to check.
"No wonder I haven't seen you these days. You always said you were busy. Liar!"
Lu Yunshen was confused. Since they forgot to exchange contact information after their last meeting in the park, they hadn't been able to get in touch.
"Xiaoyu? I'm fine. It's just a minor surgery. Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't run into you while delivering medicine for my colleague, you wouldn't have planned to tell me, right!"
"What! You still say it's okay when you need surgery. What you should do now is rest. Don't stay up all night studying medical cases anymore."
Lu Yunshen frowned slightly, his expression a bit subtle.
"Study medical cases?"
"Yes. You were still staying up all night reading medical books some time ago. Maybe it was staying up late that ruined your health. I'll have to keep an eye on you from now on."
Lu Yunshen asked tentatively, "Do you think there's any change in me today besides my clothes?"
"Um... You seem a bit thinner, and your hair is a bit shorter?"
Su Xianyu raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. "Brother, you know I'm a bit face - blind and still test me on this. Don't try to change the subject. You're not allowed to stay up late at night..."
The girl's chattering continued, but Lu Yunshen stared blankly into the distance and fell into deep thought.
Recalling carefully the conversation between the two when they first reunited after returning to the country, he was sure that Xiaoyu had mistaken him for someone else.
But the details of their childhood clearly matched. So, who was she describing now?
Someone had taken his identity!
Moreover, this person's appearance was probably somewhat similar to his.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the photo that Feng Lin had covered.
That office might give him the answer.
After repeatedly assuring that he would rest well, he finally sent Su Xianyu away.
Lu Yunshen took the elevator to the sixth floor and knocked on the door of Feng Lin's office.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Brother?"
There was no response for a long time.
Just as Lu Yunshen was about to turn around and leave, a glint of light flashed above the doorframe.
Was it... a key?
Lu Yunshen took the key and tentatively inserted it into the lock.
Click. The door opened.
Looking at the empty office, Lu Yunshen stood still for a moment.
He took a deep breath and still decided to step in.
—
After finishing his ward rounds, Feng Lin returned to his office, planning to continue studying the surgical plan for the operation in three days to improve the success rate as much as possible.
He never expected that there would be someone in the room.
"Why did you come downstairs?"
Lu Yunshen's gaze moved from bottom to top, silently scrutinizing him as if he had never known him before.
"Who is this exactly?"
Seeing the photo in his hand, a shadow flashed across Feng Lin's eyebrows.
"Put it down."
"Who is it exactly?"
"I told you to put it down!"
With a snap, the photo frame shattered on the ground.
The glass cut through the smiling face in the photo, casting a broken and melancholy shadow over the picture.
Looking at the mess on the ground, Feng Lin let out a cold laugh.
"Since you've already seen it, why bother asking when you know the answer?"
Disappointment flashed in Lu Yunshen's eyes, but there was still a glimmer of hope. "It can be seen that she's been well - protected."
"I just can't figure out why you used my identity to get along with Xiaoyu?"
"And you know my current name. Have you been keeping track of my situation all these years? You must have found it really funny seeing me come back stupidly looking for my family!"
Feng Lin thought that it was all just a coincidence. He didn't mean to impersonate anyone, and he hadn't even remembered his younger brother's existence before.
But even as he thought this, he felt it was absurd. Who would believe it?
Moreover, after he regained his memory, he did intend to keep it a secret.
If Lu Yunshen wasn't his own younger brother, he would even have planned to send the person away forcefully.
Maybe he was really destined to have a weak family bond.
It would be better to keep the truth of this matter hidden forever.
"Yes, you shouldn't have come back."
[What?! I've been deceived. Didn't Feng Lin say before that Yunshen was his nickname?]
[Feng Lin hit his head, okay? The doctor said it would cause memory confusion. He didn't do it on purpose.]
[I knew something was going to happen when this guy showed up. Sure enough.]
[Is the younger brother that Brother Lin just recognized about to break up with him? No, please...]
[I think you're all too naive. Maybe Feng Lin wants to monopolize the Feng family's property.]
[Here comes the big conspirator again. If that were the case, Feng Lin wouldn't have agreed to the paternity test. I think it might be...]
While the bullet - screen viewers were still speculating and arguing, Feng Lin directly revealed the "truth".
"You've been living quite well abroad all these years. After the surgery, you can go back."
"The shares of the Feng Group cannot be touched. I'll give you 60% of its real - estate assets."
Lu Yunshen was so angry that his eyes turned red, and his fingertips dug deeply into his palm.
Feng Lin glanced at him. "You have a weak heart. You should get angry less."
"If you have any objections to the property distribution, you can state your conditions. We can discuss it."
Listening to his calm words, Lu Yunshen couldn't stay any longer. He turned around and walked out.
"So in your eyes, I came for these things."
"Humph, think whatever you want. But regarding Xiaoyu, I hope you explain it to her as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll go and say it myself."
Feng Lin's pupils constricted, but then he relaxed his brows. "Don't worry. I've always regarded her as my own younger sister. I'll explain it clearly to her when I have time these days."
"That's good. I hope you keep your word."
Silently watching Lu Yunshen's departing back, Feng Lin slumped into his chair.
An insurmountable gap had emerged between them as brothers, but he still had Xiaoyu.
He would never let go of Xiaoyu!
"Master, did you call me?"
Steward Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obvious that he had rushed over.
"Chen Shui, I remember that the Haobang Community where Xiaoyu lives is an industry invested by our Feng Group."
"Yes, Master. What do you have in mind?"
"I've heard that the public security has been a bit poor recently. Since Haobang is a high - end community, more surveillance cameras should be installed, especially near Xiaoyu's home, and it's better to install them inside as well.
Although with the security of the Haobang Community, this was definitely over - worrying, Chen Shui still made a note of it one by one.
After all, the real intention was not what was on the surface, right?
And Su Xianyu stared at the top of the doorframe and smiled slightly.
The bullet - screen viewers were right. One younger brother or sister was enough...
