Chapter 622: Chapter 622: As a Younger Sister, One Can Enjoy the Benefits Granted by an Older Brother

Lin Menglu earnestly suggested to Lin Qianli, "Brother, I think being Shi Guang’s little dad is pretty good. Why don’t you consider it?"

Lin Qianli glared at Lin Menglu as if looking at death, "What did you say?"

Lin Menglu shared her well-thought-out reasoning, "If you become Shi Guang’s little dad, then you’ll be someone who can walk around with clout!"

"Just think about it, how impressive is Shi Guang? With her backing you up, you can do anything you want."

"As your sister, I’d also rise with the tide." Lin Menglu giggled with delight at her beautiful thought.

Lin Qianli forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "You’re saying all this just because you can rise with the tide, right?"

How could he not know his own sister’s true colors?

Indeed, that was exactly what Lin Menglu had been thinking.

However...

To admit it outright, even she felt a tad embarrassed.

Right there she said, "Although I can enjoy the benefits thanks to my brother, more importantly, I’m thinking about you."

"After all, you reap the lion’s share of the benefits."

As she spoke, she made faces, all to get Lin Qianli to agree.

Lin Qianli almost wanted to crack open her head to see if it was filled with mush.

Being Shi Guang’s little dad indeed had its advantages.

Having such a walking humanoid super-robot at one’s side, others would think twice before messing with him.

But...

The premise for enjoying the benefits was having the life to do so!

Being Shi Guang’s little dad was akin to being Shi Yaoguang’s little man.

Rounding up, he would be Shi Yaoguang’s little husband, and how could Quan Jinbei, the powerful and influential big husband, allow this "vixen" to stay by Shi Yaoguang’s side?

He would definitely need to be cut down at the roots!

That said, if he were to be cut down at the roots...

Could he enjoy any benefits from being Shi Guang’s little dad?

Yes!

But, he was not fortunate enough to enjoy them.

Therefore, being Shi Guang’s little dad, he wouldn’t actually get to enjoy any benefits.

Given this, why should he agree?

After listening to Lin Qianli’s analysis, Lin Menglu mulled it over and said, "But there are still benefits, right?"

Lin Qianli questioned, "Where are they?"

Lin Menglu pointed at herself, "Though you can’t enjoy them, I can."

"There’s a term for it, ’surplus blessings.’"

Lin Menglu solemnly said, "Even if you can’t enjoy them, I can, can’t I? I’m your sister, enjoying your surplus blessings, isn’t that what’s supposed to happen?"

Lin Qianli: "..."

Looking at his sister’s innocent and simple expression, he silently twisted his mouth into a sinister smile.

Faced with her brother’s frightening expression, Lin Menglu weakly said, "Actually..."

"I don’t particularly want to take advantage of this. Rather than benefits, I think you are more important, brother."

Lin Qianli hummed coldly, "You think by saying that, I will let you off this time?"

Lin Menglu with a pitiful look: "Then what else? I haven’t enjoyed any benefits as your sister, yet I’m being bullied by you. Is this how you act as a brother?"

Lin Qianli: "I’m nowhere near as good as you are at making unjust accusations."

Lin Menglu weakly retorted, "I’m not making unjust accusations, am I? It’s really like that..."

Shi Guang had initially wanted Lin Qianli to be her little dad, but watching the interaction between the Lin siblings, she suddenly didn’t want him for the role anymore.

What if such a little dad brought down her IQ? No, absolutely not; she decisively rejected the idea.

And so, Lin Qianli’s "paternity crisis" was successfully averted.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, all was still well...

Little did he know, his sister was genuienly feeling sorry at this moment.

...

A group of people boarded the plane home, and soon arrived at the place where the Lin family patriarch was recuperating.

The patriarch lived in the Jiangnan area, and although his physical health was not great, his spirits were very high.

Seeing Lin Qianli bring Shi Yaoguang back, he didn’t show any surprise.

In fact, the Lin family had tried every conceivable method for the sake of their patriarch’s health.

But cancer, this illness, is not so easy to cure.

Even though he knew his condition was incurable, the patriarch would not reject his descendants’ kindness.

"Grandpa, Miss Shi is very talented. With her here, she will definitely be able to cure you!"

As soon as Lin Menglu saw them, she couldn’t help but chatter away.

In fact, she truly believed that Shi Yaoguang had that capability.

The patriarch was noncommittal.

If Lin Menglu hadn’t professed her belief that Shi Yaoguang would definitely be able to cure him, he might have held some hope.

But with her saying that...

Heh, his hope had immediately vanished.

It was impossible to harbor hope.

The patriarch wasn’t one to dismiss someone’s worth just because of their young age.

But...

Age, at certain times, still could indicate certain issues.

Therefore, he still felt that Shi Yaoguang might just be good at talking, skilled in deceiving people.

Lin Qianli knew what the patriarch was thinking as soon as he saw him and immediately said, "Grandfather, you mustn’t doubt Miss Shi’s abilities. She really is amazing!"

The patriarch scrutinized Shi Yaoguang carefully before saying with some puzzlement, "Why do I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before?"

Lin Menglu let out a hee-hee and said, "Grandpa, you haven’t seen her, but it’s not strange that you recognize her."

"You don’t know yet? She’s my idol!"

The patriarch looked down, "Your idol, isn’t she a celebrity?"

As he looked more carefully, he indeed noticed something.

"You are that very popular celebrity these days, right?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded and explained, "My name is Shi Yaoguang, yes, the celebrity you mentioned."

"While I am a celebrity, don’t doubt my medical skills just because of that."

"Oh?" The patriarch seemed quite interested in Shi Yaoguang, "I’ve never seen someone who is both a celebrity and a part-time doctor."

"If you don’t believe me, how about I examine you first?"

Without saying anything else, just Shi Yaoguang’s attitude made the patriarch feel very comfortable.

At his age, the patriarch had met more people than less.

Among so many people, it was quite rare to find someone who made him feel very comfortable.

Shi Yaoguang’s ability to give him this feeling was enough for him to take her seriously.

Having passed the patriarch’s "test," Shi Yaoguang was then taken into the room by the patriarch.

Inside the room, there lay many medical devices.

These were the patriarch’s "saved-up treasures."

Well, to put it plainly, these were just the devices recommended by medical experts after the patriarch fell ill.

But even with all these purchases, they hadn’t been able to positively affect the patriarch’s condition.

Each time the Lin family members entered this room, their hearts felt incredibly heavy.

This was also why the Lin family members were close.

If the relationship had been poorer, when the patriarch fell ill, their thoughts would naturally not be about the patriarch’s health, but about how the family’s wealth should be divided after the patriarch’s death.
