CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: DISLIKE LYING

"Of course it’s true. I never like lying. You need to seriously consider whether you can agree to do the thing I’m asking of you. If any problems arise later, you can’t blame me for not giving you this chance."

His expression was a bit conflicted, but seeing Ji Yu like this, he decided to trust her anyway. After all, Ji Yu had previously mentioned that this type of surgery could succeed, though patients must wait in line.

"Go ahead, tell me."

"I want Mr. Lin’s hair, the kind that can be used for testing." She had been considering whether there was some disease in Mr. Lin’s case that had gone unnoticed. Investigating through Hong carried certain risks, so it was better for her to seize the opportunity herself.

"If you want to do a paternity test, just come out and say it. There’s no need to be so secretive."

He thought Ji Yu was planning a paternity test to determine if there was a familial relationship.

"There’s no need to mention that. All you need to say is whether you can agree and carry it out. The rest is not your concern."

Her attitude regarding this matter was resolute.

Although Lin Wenyan had no idea what was really going on, seeing Ji Yu behave this way left him no choice but to agree. Still, he was curious why Ji Yu was conducting this matter so surreptitiously.

"No one must know about this. You understand what I’m saying, right?"

"I understand." Lin Wenyan already knew Ji Yu wasn’t easy to deal with, so he didn’t dare to take her lightly.

Besides, there was the upcoming surgery. Offending Ji Yu could prove to be quite troublesome.

Ji Yu said nothing further this time. After returning, she quietly awaited the results.

However, Lin Wenyan’s progress seemed not to be going smoothly, so he straightforwardly considered asking whether Ji Yu could take a look at his daughter’s face first.

"Of course I can take a look, but have you prepared what I asked for? Be sure not to wait in vain. After all, having hope is better than being completely hopeless."

"I will definitely do it." He gritted his teeth. Considering his daughter’s situation over the past period, he no longer wanted to doubt anything.

Ji Yu didn’t quite understand why he appeared so determined. The Lin family had yet to produce anyone she found "normal."

Nonetheless, since he’d resolved himself this much, Ji Yu had no reason to refuse.

When she finally saw his daughter, Ji Yu was somewhat surprised.

"The scars on your face must have been there for quite some time, right? And it looks deliberate. Why?"

Who would be this perverse, doing something like this to a girl’s face?

The young girl seemed a bit introverted. When she saw Ji Yu, her eyes held admiration, but upon being asked this question, she clearly didn’t want to answer.

"The incident back then was a misunderstanding. No one in the family knows exactly what happened. All they know is that she was found in Mr. Lin’s room with blood on her face. Even in the end, no one figured out who was responsible."

The mere thought of the incident made Lin Wenyan furiously resentful, though there was a theory suggesting the child had taken the misfortune intended for Mr. Lin upon herself.

Thus, despite his irritation, he couldn’t bring himself to express it openly in front of Mr. Lin.

"It seems your family truly has a story for everyone. But you don’t need to worry; judging by the current situation, your daughter’s face is very likely to recover."

As she spoke, Ji Yu began drafting a treatment plan, making sure to reassure the young girl not to be afraid. "You just need to wait for some time, and you’ll return to normal soon. You’re very beautiful—you don’t need to feel inferior."

Who doesn’t care about their face?

Ji Yu spoke with warmth when discussing the matter, worrying the girl might feel troubled by it.

The girl looked at Ji Yu, her eyes sparkling. "Can I look as good as you?"

"That’s not certain. Everyone’s aesthetics are different. You might like your own face more when you see it. There’s no need to look like anyone else."

After all, beauty is a descriptive word—it represents the beautiful things you perceive, not something vague or arbitrary.

For the first time, the young girl smiled shyly, which surprised Lin Wenyan and made him deeply grateful for Ji Yu’s gentle sentiments.

"Take a look—this is the ideal result for your repair. Of course, you must follow my instructions precisely. Don’t take any other actions, do you understand?"

She didn’t want the girl’s situation to end up ruined by plastic surgery or similar ventures.

The young girl nodded, clearly intrigued by it all. "Is this how you imagine me to look?"

"No, it’s how you truly should look. This is calculated based on your bone structure; it’s not as miraculous as you’re imagining."

She continued speaking softly to the girl, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.

Even Lin Wenyan couldn’t quite comprehend what kind of person Ji Yu truly was.

"Thank you." The girl visibly liked the appearance shown to her, growing happier upon realizing it was her natural look.

"But your surgery timeline still needs to be arranged later."

Though Ji Yu didn’t state it outright, she subtly reminded Lin Wenyan to fulfill his previous promise.

As they left, Lin Wenyan couldn’t resist asking Ji Yu, "Why is your attitude toward me so different from your attitude toward my daughter? Don’t you dislike people from the Lin family?"

"You’re imagining things. It’s not that I hate the way you cover up for the family—it’s just that I think this kind of secrecy is unnecessary."

She had always been tender when treating patients. Besides, the Lin family’s previous condescending attitude toward her was off-putting—who would like that?

"I treat people based on how they treat me. Whatever attitude you show me, I’ll express the same."

That was simply who she was.

Lin Wenyan fell silent for a moment, finally understanding Ji Yu’s words. He realized that this time, his family had indeed placed undue pressure on her.

"Honestly, the reason we’ve been so anxious is that Mr. Lin is urgent about wanting you to return. I don’t even know why you were identified as part of our family, but we definitely can’t defy Mr. Lin’s wishes."

He paused here, unsure whether Ji Yu would believe him, though he was being truthful with her.

"No matter what, thank you. I didn’t expect you to be such an extraordinary doctor."

"It’s nothing. Just don’t forget what you promised me earlier." These things were routine for Ji Yu, something she had mastered long ago.

There was no need for praise. What mattered was sorting out the commitments they’d made.
