That was what he was thinking.
Naturally, Lin Yu couldn’t say any of that out loud.
“I understand. Aunt Ruxue really has thought this through.”
“Don’t worry. If Weiwei still hasn’t come back tomorrow, I’ll have a talk with Maomao in the evening.”
“I’ll try to comfort her and keep her from feeling so upset.”
“Girls all have to grow up eventually.”
Hearing that, Du Ruxue waved her hand.
“Then I’ll leave her in your care.”
“Don’t just say tomorrow. Weiwei may not even be back in the next couple of days.”
“From the way her father spoke to me on the phone…”
“It sounds like Weiwei did something incredibly infuriating.”
“By any chance…”
“Did you have anything to do with it?”
Du Ruxue’s eyes were as sharp as knives, making Lin Yu feel a chill run down his back.
How had this conversation somehow gotten him into trouble?
Nurse Sister…
Could Old Master Xia have found out about the trap he had set for Lei Siren?
Other than that, it was hard to imagine what else could have made him so furious.
Or perhaps it was what had happened at her house last time with Weiwei…
If it was that, then he was really screwed!
He could at least claim that setting up Lei Siren had been an attempt to help Weiwei get rid of that huge nuisance.
Wouldn’t a father understand something like that?
But doing that sort of thing in his own home…
Lin Yu: “!!!”
Damn it!
Why hadn’t he been able to control himself back then?
He knew he shouldn’t have let Nurse Sister tempt him.
If this really came to light, wouldn’t he be plagued by trouble for the rest of his life?
“Xue, stop making insinuations every time you talk to Little Yu.”
“What could Weiwei’s family matters possibly have to do with Little Yu?”
Before Lin Yu could answer, Chen Qimeng hurriedly spoke up for him.
Du Ruxue poked Chen Qimeng on the forehead.
“I was only joking. Look how anxious you got.”
Chen Qimeng avoided Du Ruxue’s gaze and didn’t dare continue defending Lin Yu.
“Exactly. Aunt Ruxue just likes to joke around.”
“I don’t know anything about Weiwei’s family. How could their affairs possibly have anything to do with me?”
Lin Yu laughed awkwardly, temporarily glossing over the matter.
…
After returning to the apartment, Lin Yu didn’t spend much more time with the two older women.
He turned around, went up to the third floor, and slipped into his room.
He had to quickly confirm the information he had just learned from Du Ruxue.
The Xia family’s affairs were completely different from the Shen family’s.
As for the former, Lin Yu wanted no part in them.
He would rather remain ignorant.
But as for the latter, he was already hopelessly entangled in it!
He had failed to withstand Xia Yiwei’s tricks and had walked straight into her trap.
At this hour, Weiwei definitely hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
Rather than sit around guessing what had happened, it would be better to ask her directly.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Just as Lin Yu was about to hang up and call again, Nurse Sister’s voice finally came from the other end.
“Hello… Little Master.”
“Hehe, it’s so late. You’re… you’re not asleep yet?”
“What made you suddenly think of calling me?”
Xia Yiwei’s guilty tone was impossible to conceal, even through the phone.
How could Lin Yu fail to guess why she was acting this way?
She had clearly already figured out why he was calling!
“Weiwei, where are you?”
Lin Yu’s tone was more or less the same as usual. He made no deliberate effort to sound stern.
He simply wanted to see whether Xia Yiwei would tell him the truth.
As it turned out…
Nurse Sister did not disappoint him!
“I’m at the hospital working, hehe…”
“Where else could I be?”
“What’s wrong? Do you miss me?”
Lin Yu: “…”
Unbelievable…
There wasn’t the slightest trace of a flaw!
Nurse Sister sounded completely normal.
She could lie without even blinking!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!

s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
