Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che said, “I’m sorry, Uncle Lu. I still can’t really accept it. You don’t have to say that you’ll compensate me either. You don’t even know who I am. Where I was and my life in the past had nothing to do with you. I won’t feel that you’re the one who caused my troubles. This is my own life, to begin with. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t have to feel like you need to compensate me.”
Lu Qinyu said, “Eh. What a good girl you are. But the more you say that, the more ashamed I feel that you have a father like me. I mean it. I don’t deserve a daughter as good as you. Fortunately, you didn’t grow up under my care. You’ve seen how that daughter of mine behaves too. You didn’t turn out like her, not because you’re my daughter but because you’re Su Cen’s daughter. She taught you very well.”
He felt very guilty and sighed as he lowered his head.
Lin Che said, “Uncle Lu, don’t say that.”
Lu Qinyu said, “I wanted you to come also because I wanted to explain to you. It’s true that I had many romantic affairs in my younger years. After that, I did reflect on myself. It was my unstable temperament that caused me to make mistakes again and again. In the end, I remained unrepentant. But ever since what happened with your mother, I’ve really turned over a new leaf. I really loved your mother, but I was her teacher at the time, Furthermore, I had divorced not long ago and people were spreading rumors that your mother had ruined our marriage. After she found out about what had happened in the past as well, she lost all hope and left. On top of that, there was still danger in the Lu family back then and there were internal fights all the time. Thus, she didn’t send me any news about herself and didn’t tell me that she was already pregnant. But I can guarantee that I really loved her. You may not believe it, but I never got together with another woman after her. I’ve been single until today. As you can see, I really have changed.”
Lin Che felt slightly embarra.s.sed as she looked at him. “It’s pointless for you to explain these things to me too.”
“I know. But I want to tell you that the relations.h.i.+p between your mother and me was a product of love. Even though I feel very guilty, I’m also very happy that you exist. I’m very glad to have you as my daughter.”
Lin Che blushed.
He said, “Regardless of when you’ll be able to accept it, the doors of this house will forever be open to you. If someone dares to bully you, I will definitely be the first to confront him. Even if it’s Gu Jingze, he can’t harm you at all. Otherwise, I’ll be the first to punish him. Also.”
He handed a card to her. “This is the access card to the Lu residence.”
“…” Lin Che quickly pushed it away. “Uncle Lu, I can’t accept this…”
“It’s fine, really. This merely allows you to enter every part of the Lu residence and all our companies. Take it. You may need it in the future when you go to places owned by the Lu family. If you have this with you, people will naturally help you. There’s so much internal chaos in the Gu family right now. I’m worried about your safety too. In the past, I wasn’t in any position to help you. But now, at the very least, you’re my daughter. I will help you no matter what.”
“…” Lin Che really wanted to reject it. She felt strange accepting something from him.
But Lu Qinyu was adamant that she accept it, so Lin Che could only look at him helplessly. “Alright. I’ll take it first. But I won’t recklessly use it for no reason. Don’t worry.”
“Little Che, of course, I believe you. You’re such a good girl. You’re definitely not like those other rebellious girls.”
They had prepared many delicious dishes for her at home. Lin Che ate a little. Thereafter, she saw that Lu Beichen had returned. Lin Che saw him only on her way out after bidding Lu Qinyu goodbye.
He walked over when he saw Lin Che and sighed. He said, “Hey, Younger Sister. You’re here.”
“…” Lin Che said, “Don’t say that. Why are you speaking so strangely?”
Lu Beichen asked, “What’s the matter? Aren’t you my younger sister?”
“I…”
Lu Beichen said, “Don’t pin your grudges against our father on me. I was completely unaware of all those things he did back then.”
“…” Could he not speak so intimately? She had yet to get used to it.
Lu Beichen walked alongside Lin Che while saying, “Anyway, that’s just the way our father is. Just ignore him. At the very least, I’m your older brother. If you can’t accept him, you can at least accept me, right? Look. I usually treat you quite well, right?”
Lin Che thought about it. It was true that Lu Beichen treated her quite well.
She just felt a little weird that her ident.i.ty had suddenly changed.
He patted her head. “That’s terrible. If you dare to not acknowledge me as your older brother, I will truly be devastated.”
“No way…”
“Well then. I’ll take it that you’ve acknowledged me. Come on, I’ll send you out.”
“…” How could he force her to acknowledge him like this?
Lu Beichen escorted her out. When he saw that the Gu family’s car was still outside, he did not stop walking but merely said to her, “Alright. Go back with them. Also.” He smiled and looked at her. “I’m actually quite happy to have you as my sister. Even though my father is terrible, at least you didn’t inherit that quality.”
“…” How could he talk about his father in that way?
Lin Che bid him goodbye. On the way back, she sighed repeatedly.
However, the moment she arrived home, she saw Black Hawk’s subordinates standing at the doorway.
What the h.e.l.l. Yet another crowd of people were here…
Lin Che walked in only to see one of the maids run out and say, “Madam, you’re finally back. Mr. Mo has been waiting inside for a very long time. We told him that you’re not around, but he refused to leave… we… we had no choice either.”
Indeed. Black Hawk was such a difficult person.
Furthermore, she could tell that the maids were afraid of him as well.
It was all because he simply looked so ferocious.
Lin Che walked in and saw that he was really making himself at home. His legs were propped up as he sat on the couch. When he saw Lin Che enter, his gaze s.h.i.+fted to her.
To be honest, the two of them really did not seem like siblings. In terms of their appearance, there was no resemblance at all.
Ultimately, they were not born from the same mother. Furthermore, they had also miraculously inherited the unique traits of their respective mothers.
He looked at Lin Che. “You’re back.”
Lin Che asked, “What are you here for?”
“To look at you,” he said.
“I… I think that our relations.h.i.+p doesn’t have to change just because of this matter.”
He asked, “Do you still resent me because I kidnapped you in the past? Lin Che, all else aside, I didn’t know that you were my younger sister at the time. Furthermore, we didn’t do anything to you, right?”
“No… it’s not because of that. I just find it really weird.”
Black Hawk stood up and looked at her. “Don’t worry. You and I definitely feel similarly about this. In reality, we’re the same. Because that man with the surname Lu made mistakes, we bore most of the consequences. Don’t you think so? You’ve never experienced familial love since you were young. To be honest, I’m the same too. You’ve never had siblings since you were young. I’m the same too. From the beginning, life was tough for both of us so I understand how you feel. For the time being, I don’t know how to behave towards my own younger sister either. But I think that I should still try my best to get used to it. After all, we didn’t have family initially but we do now. This should be a good thing.”
