At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Lin Xinyue's home.

Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue were sitting on the sofa in the living room, facing Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

Lin Xinyue's grandfather was sitting in a wheelchair, smilingly watching the two of them.

"Going abroad, huh... Are you two going on a honeymoon? Ah, you should really enjoy yourselves."

"Look at your dad, he just doesn't understand the concept of a honeymoon trip. We've been married for so many years, and he's never taken me traveling."

After hearing her son-in-law and daughter explain the reason for their visit, Mrs. Lin's face showed a smile that said, "I get what you young people are up to."

At the same time, she stretched out her arm and pinched Lin Muqing's arm as if bearing a grudge.

With an embarrassed look on his face, Mr. Lin forcefully defended himself, "I was just too busy... always running between the company and home, with no time for traveling."

Mrs. Lin folded her arms across her chest and gave him a disdainful glance.

She had been hearing this excuse for nearly thirty years!

Seeing that her mother was about to get angry, Lin Xinyue quickly signaled her father with her eyes, "Oh Dad, things at your company have already stabilized now, so you definitely must have some time, right?"

"While you both are still in good health, you should travel more, see the beautiful scenery of our motherland! If you don't romanticize now, it will be too late when you're old!"

Lin Xinyue was trying hard to enlighten her father.

Luckily, Lin Muqing was not an insensitive block of wood, and after sharing a bed with his wife for so many years, how could he possibly be unaware of her emotions?

Now, hearing his daughter provide cover for him, he quickly declared, "Indeed, Zi, I have truly wronged you too much over these years!"

"Let's do this, when Dad's leg gets better, I promise to take some time and go traveling with you!"

Lin Muqing looked at his father sitting in the wheelchair.

It wasn't that he didn't want to travel with his wife, but aside from work, his father also needed care.

His own elder brother should, by rights, take care of their father, but due to his sister-in-law being too domineering and selfish, she was utterly unwilling to look after their father.

His mother had passed away a few years earlier, and he couldn't leave his father to fend for himself back in his hometown.

So, he had no choice but to take his father into his own home.

This care had lasted three years, during which he had to manage both work and looking after the elderly, and without a gentle and virtuous wife, he felt he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

But precisely because of this, he felt he owed his wife too much.

"Mm-hmm, okay! When Dad's leg is better, let's take Dad with us as well!"

Ying Zi clearly wasn't an unreasonable woman.

While she did have a temper, she also knew what to say in any given situation, and she wouldn't take advantage of it to make her husband look bad.

Besides, with their daughter and son-in-law present, she and her husband certainly needed to model good behavior as elders.

Watching the two sensible younger family members, Grandpa Lin sitting in the wheelchair opened his mouth and felt a heaviness in his heart.

He had brought too much trouble to his younger son's family over the years.

His gaze involuntarily grew dim.

Ever since his legs went bad, he felt like a useless cripple, only a burden to the younger generation and without any use whatsoever.

Gu Yu, who had been watching the expressions of the elders, immediately understood the situation.

However, apart from informing Mr. and Mrs. Lin that he and Lin Xinyue were going abroad, he also had another piece of great news about Grandpa Lin.

He drank some water, cleared his throat, and said to the three elders, "Ahem, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, and Grandpa Lin, I've also come to tell you some fantastic news!"

Gu Yu said with a slightly exaggerated tone.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to him, faces filled with curiosity.

"What good news?"

Lin Muqing asked.

He knew well the caliber of his son-in-law; any good news from Gu Yu's mouth was certainly going to be significant.

Lin Xinyue's expression wavered with confusion for a moment, but as she looked at Gu Yu's face, she suddenly guessed what he was about to say. Her eyes immediately lit up, and a smile broke across her face.

"Dad, Mom, and Grandpa, don't get too excited when you hear Yu's good news, okay!"

Lin Xinyue blinked, eagerly anticipating her family's reaction.

Gu Yu glanced at her and smiled wryly.

He just couldn't keep any secrets from Lin Xinyue; every time he wanted to say something, she would guess it right away.

Seeing everyone waiting, he decided not to keep them in suspense any longer. He turned to Mr. Lin with a beaming smile, "Mr. Lin, there's hope for your leg!"

"What!?"

Before Mr. Lin could even speak, Lin Muqing excitedly slapped the couch cushion and stood up, his face alight with surprise as he looked at Gu Yu.

His dad's leg had always been a thorn in his heart.

Gu Yu nodded, "Yes, father-in-law, don't get too excited. Let me explain in detail."

Only then did Lin Muqing realize his outburst and sat down again with an embarrassed expression.

But the joy in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

Mr. Lin shot his son a glare. He himself hadn't even reacted yet, and his son was already more excited than he was!

Yet the barely contained excitement in the old man's eyes betrayed his own deep desire for his legs to heal.

"Yu, what do you mean?"

He leaned forward slightly and asked Gu Yu eagerly.

Gu Yu reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet, then opened it and took out a simple white business card to hand to Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin couldn't reach it, so Lin Muqing took the initiative to take it.

The back of the card displayed a photo of Haidong Affiliated Hospital and a line of blue text with the hospital's name.

Turning the card over revealed a photo of a bald doctor in a white coat, around fifty years old. Despite being bald, he had a kind and benevolent face—it was clear he was a good doctor.

To the left of the photo was the doctor's introduction.

[Tong Hongfu, Chief Physician at Jishuitan Hospital, distinguished expert at Haidong University Affiliated Hospital, professor of orthopedics, and among the national top twenty orthopedic specialists... Private phone: *******]

Lin Muqing's eyes swam through the list of titles, but each one confirmed the doctor's exceptional skill.

He was clearly a remarkable figure in the field of orthopedics.

"This is…" Lin Muqing could almost guess what Gu Yu's good news was, but still wasn't completely sure.

"This is Doctor Tong's business card. I got it through a friend. Father-in-law, when you have time, please contact Doctor Tong. He will be treating Grandpa Lin."

"By the way, my friend has arranged everything with Doctor Tong, so you won't need to worry about anything else," Gu Yu explained earnestly.

"Yu... you really are so thoughtful... and your friend must also be an incredible person!"

Lin Muqing nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

At the same time, he felt touched—such a doctor was not someone you could simply hire, even with money.

They were above the interests of wealth.

Gu Yu's influence was truly immense, and his friend must also be a significant figure.

"Child, I really can't thank you enough."

Mr. Lin was also visibly moved, with misty tears of age in his eyes.

After several years, he had finally begun to see hope for curing his legs.

"It's what I should do."

Gu Yu shook his head slightly, feeling that he hadn't done anything extraordinary.
