Time ticked by, second by second.
Finally!
A nurse emerged from the doctor's office.
"Lin Li, Mr. Lin, right?" The nurse approached Lin Li.
Before Lin Li could nod, Lin Chang quickly stepped forward.
"Well? Are the test results out?" Lin Chang asked anxiously.
"And you are…?" The nurse looked at Lin Chang in confusion.
Lin Chang hurriedly replied, "I'm Lin Li's father, Lin Chang. I'm the one who brought him in for the examination."
"Mm." The nurse nodded. "The results are ready. Follow me inside."
She led the Lin family into the doctor's office.
Lin Li's test results had already been printed out.
The doctor stared at the report, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Doctor, what's the verdict?" Lin Chang pressed urgently. "How are my son's sperm?"
Lin Li clenched his fists.
Necrosis!
It had to be necrosis!
He had been to the hospital countless times before, undergone endless tests, taken mountains of medication—yet every result was the same.
They all said he had no sperm left, that he was completely sterile, with no chance of recovery.
The doctor gave Lin Li a meaningful look.
"Your son's sperm…"
He sighed. "They're all necrotic. Not a single viable sperm can be found."
"What?" Lin Chang's face turned pale.
Exactly the same as his own condition!
"Doctor, is there any chance of a cure?" Lin Chang pressed again.
"No." The doctor shook his head. "Your son's reproductive system no longer has the capacity to produce sperm. With current medical technology, recovery is impossible. Moreover, very few researchers are working in this field, so significant breakthroughs are unlikely in the near future."
In other words.
For the rest of his life, Lin Li's fertility might never return.
The last glimmer of hope in Lin Chang's heart was utterly extinguished.
Lin Li could no longer carry on the Lin family bloodline. And thanks to the medicine Jiang Shuqin had forced him to drink, he couldn't even seek out another woman to bear him a child.
That left only Lin Xuan.
Would he really have to beg Lin Xuan to return to the Lin family and continue the lineage?
Just thinking about Lin Xuan's attitude toward him filled Lin Chang with resistance.
His expression darkened as he glared at Lin Li.
"Let's go." Lin Chang abruptly stood up.
Out in the hospital corridor.
Lin Chang fixed Lin Li with a cold stare. "Speak! When exactly did this happen?"
"Before I went abroad for the exchange program," Lin Li murmured, lips pressed tight.
"So early!"
Rage flashed in Lin Chang's eyes. With a loud "smack," he slapped Lin Li hard across the face again.
Lin Li endured the blow without a word.
"Turned into a eunuch, completely sterile! Lin Li! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
If he had known earlier.
He could have found another woman to bear him a son, ensuring the Lin bloodline wouldn't die out.
But now, it was all over!
Nearby, nurses hiding around the corner eavesdropped in shock.
"Holy crap! He really is sterile! First a eunuch, now no sperm—who the hell did this to Lin Li? That's brutal."
"Serves him right! Who told him to trick someone into marriage? I heard men who become eunuchs usually turn into total psychos. If his fiancée married him, who knows how he'd torment her."
The nurses buzzed with excitement upon learning Lin Li was sterile.
One even secretly asked her hacker friend to leak the news online.
Soon.
#Lin Li Not Only a Eunuch but Also Sterile# shot to the top of Weibo's trending list.
Douyin (TikTok) also pushed the story relentlessly.
Countless netizens reveled in Lin Li's misfortune.
Tears streamed down Lin Li's face as he faced Lin Chang's interrogation. "I'm sorry, Dad. I was too scared to tell you."
"Lin Chang." Jiang Shuqin stepped in protectively. "Isn't it natural for Li'er to hide this from you? Becoming a eunuch is traumatic enough, and you still hit him! What kind of father are you?"
Lin Qingwan frowned. "Dad, whether Li'er is a eunuch or sterile doesn't really affect our family, does it? He's the one suffering. Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Yeah." Lin Qingxiu nodded. "The way you're acting, anyone would think Li'er is your biological son, and you're freaking out about the family lineage."
At this, a flicker of panic crossed Lin Chang's eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense!" he snapped, flushing with anger. "Li'er was born shortly after your mother and I got married. How could I possibly have a son that old!"
Lin Qingxiu shrank back. "Dad, I was just speculating. Why are you so defensive?"
Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan exchanged puzzled glances.
Lin Chang clenched his fists.
They must never find out Lin Li is his real son!
"Enough."
He took a deep breath. "I have company matters to attend to. I'm leaving."
As he walked away, he couldn't even bear to look at Lin Li.
Lin Li tightened his fists.
Lin Chang must be thinking of bringing Lin Xuan back now.
No, he couldn't just sit back and wait!
After repeatedly bribing people and deceiving Lin Chang, his standing in his father's eyes had surely plummeted.
Lin Xuan had set his expulsion from the family as a condition for returning—and Lin Chang would agree.
No way.
He had to make Lin Chang realize he couldn't just cast him aside.
Suddenly, Lin Li thought of Wang Yajun.
Right!
He could ask his mother for help!
Jiang Shuqin helped Lin Li up, her voice tender. "Li'er, don't mind your father's attitude. No matter what happens, your three sisters and I will always treat you the same."
"Mm." Lin Li nodded heavily.
He looked at Jiang Shuqin with gratitude. "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Shuqin smiled. "We're family. No need for thanks. Come, let's go home."
She supported Lin Li as they left.
Behind them, nurses continued gossiping excitedly.
"This is hilarious—a eunuch who's also sterile! I wonder who he pissed off to deserve this."
"I bet he'll become a hot commodity for certain gay men now."
Unaware that the Lin family was passing by, they kept discussing Lin Li's predicament without restraint.
