Is Lier your son

"I brought him here to get his sperm checked!"

"Him!"

"He actually thought of bribing the doctor with 1.5 million, trying to get the doctor to lie for him!" Lin Chang fumed.

Lin Li pressed his lips together. "Dad, I don’t even know what my sperm condition is like. I just didn’t want you to worry because of me."

"Lin Chang, did you hear that?" Jiang Shuqin raised her voice. "Li'er was afraid you’d worry. He’s so filial, and yet you hit him! Do you even have a conscience? You don’t deserve to be Li'er’s father!!"

After learning about Lin Chang’s repeated affairs and his intention to divorce her, Jiang Shuqin had completely given up on salvaging their relationship.

Her only concern now was protecting her children. As for Lin Chang, she couldn’t care less about his feelings.

"You shrew! What do you know?" Lin Chang sneered, not bothering to argue with Jiang Shuqin any further.

He turned to the doctor and snapped, "Check him now! Do it thoroughly! If I find out you falsified the results, I’ll make sure you never work at Yun City First Central Hospital again!"

"Y-yes, of course," the doctor stammered, wiping sweat from his forehead.

Thank goodness he hadn’t accepted Lin Li’s bribe earlier—his career would have been over.

Inside the examination room, Lin Li’s face was ashen.

There was no turning back now. After this, Lin Chang would likely never hand over Starlight Group to him.

Outside the room, Lin Chang stepped away to take a call from his secretary.

The Lin women stood by the door.

"Mom," Lin Qingwan murmured, her face full of confusion, "why is Dad so fixated on whether Li'er is... you know, a eunuch or sterile? Why does it matter so much?"

"I don’t know why he’s reacting so strongly either," Jiang Shuqin admitted, equally puzzled.

"Big sis, Mom," Lin Qingxiu chimed in, "maybe Dad’s just worried about Li'er’s health. That’s why he rushed him here for the test."

"But then why was Li'er so obviously against getting checked?" Lin Qingyan frowned. "He even tried bribing the doctor to cover it up. And Dad actually slapped him!"

"Also, if Dad’s really concerned about Li'er, shouldn’t he have brought him for a full-body checkup? Why just test his sperm?"

The Lin family fell silent.

Then, a thought suddenly crossed Lin Qingwan’s mind.

If Li'er were really Lin Chang’s biological son, everything would make sense.

If he were his son, then lineage and inheritance would be at stake.

Little Xuan had already been kicked out of the family. And if Li'er—supposedly Lin Chang’s son—turned out to be sterile, that would be a devastating blow.

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

She must be going crazy to even think that.

Li'er, Dad’s son?

How could that be?

Li'er was picked up by Mom, and he was born in the same year as Little Xuan. There’s no way Dad was already cheating back then.

The examination was finally over.

Lin Li emerged from the room, his face pale.

"The test is done now, Li'er. Let’s go home," Jiang Shuqin said gently.

"No!" Lin Chang’s voice was cold. "We’re staying here until the results come out."

"If Lin Li dares to leave today, he can get out of the Lin family for good!"

A surge of hatred for Lin Chang welled up in Lin Li’s heart.

Just as Mom said—Lin Chang never truly cared for him. All he cared about was his own interests.

If Lin Chang couldn’t even pretend to value their father-son bond, then why should Lin Li bother respecting him as a father?

As long as he had a chance to stay in the family, he would seize everything from the Lins.

Just wait and see.

"Mom," Lin Li lowered his eyes, his voice hoarse, "it’s fine. I’ll stay. I don’t want to make Dad angrier."

Jiang Shuqin’s heart ached. "Oh, child... After how he’s treated you, you’re still so filial to him."

"Dad’s just concerned about me," Lin Li forced a smile.

Right now, he had no choice but to play along.

Being exposed as a eunuch in modern society was beyond humiliating—especially when the whole internet knew about it.

Lin Li was the first to make headlines like this.

Gossip was already spreading like wildfire through the hospital.

"You know Lin Li, the son of Starlight Group’s chairman, right?"

"Of course," the head nurse replied wearily as she tidied up after a surgery. "Wasn’t he the one whose fiancée publicly called off their engagement at his birthday banquet after he was exposed for cheating?"

She scoffed.

Lin Li might look refined, but he turned out to be a complete scumbag!

"That’s him!" another nurse said excitedly. "But guess what? There’s even juicier gossip about him now!"

"What gossip? Spill it!" The head nurse perked up, curiosity piqued.

Other nurses, too busy with work to check the news, gathered around.

"Come on, Little Ting, don’t leave us hanging!"

The nurse grinned. "You won’t believe this—Lin Li was exposed as a eunuch! At his own wedding, no less! There are photos and videos. He refused to admit it and even tried bribing two banquet guests with 20 million to vouch for him, saying he wasn’t a eunuch."

"20 million?!"

The head nurse sighed. "Rich people really are something. Just casually throwing around 20 million like it’s nothing. I’ll probably never earn that much in my lifetime."

"So, did it work?" she asked.

"Guess what happened?" The nurse leaned in conspiratorially. "Turns out, his room was bugged. The whole bribery attempt was recorded and leaked."

"Oh, and when he was caught, he still wouldn’t admit it. So the bride’s father pulled his pants down right then and there. You should’ve seen the video—completely bare, nothing there. A full-blown eunuch."

The nurses and head nurse gasped, eyes wide.

"Oh my god, that’s insane! Way more scandalous than some celebrity getting canceled."

"Imagine witnessing that in person. Must’ve been wild."

"A eunuch? Hahahaha! He actually got turned into a eunuch! Who did it? Brilliant!" A longtime Lin Li hater clutched her stomach, laughing hysterically.

"What happened after? How did the bride’s family react?" the head nurse asked.

"What else? The wedding was called off, of course."

"Wait a second..."

Another nurse frowned. "Lin Li... that name sounds familiar."

She thought for a moment, then gasped.

"Oh my god! We just admitted a patient named Lin Li!"

"What’s he here for?" the head nurse asked.

The nurse whispered, "Apparently, his father dragged him in for a sperm test. They just finished the exam and are waiting for the results."

A sperm test?!

The nurses watching nearby had eyes sparkling with gossipy curiosity.

Lin Chang paced back and forth in the hospital corridor, waiting for the test results to come out.

He desperately, desperately hoped that the news of Lin Li's azoospermia was false.

If so, they could still rely on in vitro fertilization to carry on the Lin family lineage.

Otherwise, everything would be over.
