But the next second, Song Jiachen suddenly reached out and snatched the phone from Song Zhi's hand, urgently shouting, "Hey, okay, sis, stop looking at your phone, let's go!"

Startled by her younger brother's sudden snatching, Song Zhi was first taken aback, then said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I just wanted to tell you in advance, so he wouldn't worry if he couldn't find me when he came to the hospital."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing the term "brother-in-law," Song Jiachen's face instantly fell, his expression filled with impatience: "Hmph, what brother-in-law? I don't acknowledge that old man as my brother-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. She gently patted Song Jiachen's shoulder and patiently explained, "Xiao Chen, don't talk nonsense. He's not old at all."

After saying that, Song Zhi saw that Song Jiachen stubbornly refused to return her phone, so she reached out again to try to take it back.

However, Song Jiachen acted like a child, holding onto her phone tightly and saying loudly, "No way! I absolutely won't allow you to be with that old man. Even if Dad finds out, he definitely won't agree!"

Faced with her stubborn younger brother, Song Zhi felt somewhat helpless. She gently raised her hand to protect her forehead and said in a slightly pleading tone, "Xiao Chen, please stop being so silly. Give me back my phone."

But Song Jiachen remained unmoved, even hiding the phone behind his back, muttering, "I won't give it to you. If I do, you'll definitely call that old man right away!"

Just then, with a loud "bang," the previously closed ward door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Hearing the noise, Song Jiachen subconsciously looked up. When he saw the man standing in the doorway, he froze, his mouth slightly agape. It took him a while to recover before he stammered, "Handsome, who are you?"

Seeing this, Song Zhi felt a sense of foreboding and was about to explain the identity of the newcomer to Song Jiachen when Fu Lu gave her a look first.

Song Zhi smiled helplessly.

I always felt that these two were quite immature.

Fu Lu's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile, but he completely ignored Song Jiachen's shocked expression.

He strode past Song Jiachen, who stood frozen in place, and walked towards Song Zhi. When he reached Song Zhi, Fu Lu slowly extended his right hand, gently took Song Zhi's left hand, and softly asked, "Where are you going?"

Song Zhi raised her head, her gaze meeting Fu Lu's deep eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm taking my younger brother to see my father."

"Is he Jia Chen?"

Fu Lu spoke.

Song Zhi nodded.

Suddenly, Song Jiachen, who had been completely oblivious to the situation, seemed to wake up from a dream. His eyes widened, and he pointed at Fu Lu with a look of astonishment, stammering, "You...you're my brother-in-law?"

The words "brother-in-law" pleased Fu Lu.

His previously tense lips curled up slightly, forming a smile: "I'm only twenty-six years old this year, not old at all."

As Fu Lu spoke, Song Jiachen instantly felt as if his cheeks had been scorched by a raging fire, burning hot.

Good heavens! He never expected that his private conversation with his sister would be overheard by the person involved!

At this moment, Song Jiachen wished he could find a crack in the ground, disappear into it, and never come out to see anyone again.

Looking at the tall, handsome man in front of him, Song Jiachen was still somewhat incredulous, thinking to himself, "How is this possible? Wei Yinuo's uncle is so young and so handsome!"

Before this, his imagination was very different from reality. He originally thought that Wei Yinuo's uncle should be at least the same age as his father, which is why he had always been opposed to it.

However, the reality before him was a huge surprise; his uncle was only 26 years old.

Thinking back to how he had repeatedly called someone an "old man," Song Jiachen felt extremely annoyed.

But it's too late to regret it now. He could only grit his teeth and force out two dry laughs from deep in his throat, trying to ease the suffocatingly awkward atmosphere.

"Hehehe... Well, I was just joking with my sister. Brother-in-law, please don't take my words to heart!"

After saying that, his anxious heart was still hanging in the air, and his eyes dared not relax for a moment, staring intently at Fu Lu's facial expression, for fear of accidentally offending the other party.

Fu Lu waved his hand gently: "Don't worry, I won't take this little thing to heart at all."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiachen breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, I wasn't angry.

Fu Lu's gaze slowly fell on Song Jiachen, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He said softly, "You just got out of the police station today, and you're already here to see your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Song Jiachen was taken aback. He looked up, his eyes filled with confusion, and blurted out, "You... how did you know about this?"

Fu Lu simply smiled slightly and did not answer his question immediately.

When Song Jiachen met his gaze, his heart tightened, and he suddenly became somewhat flustered. Like a child who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and dared not look Fu Lu in the eye.

At this moment, a jumble of thoughts flooded his mind, and Song Jiachen began to worry that his experience at the police station would have a negative impact on his sister.

After all, no one wants their family members to be associated with someone with a bad record.

So he hurriedly raised his head and explained to Fu Lu in a flustered manner: "Brother-in-law, please believe me, I am definitely a good person and would never do anything illegal or disorderly."

This trip to the police station was a complete misunderstanding. I was framed; I have absolutely no criminal record.

As he spoke, his voice unconsciously rose a little, as if he wanted to prove his innocence in this way.

Fu Lu was completely unprepared for Song Jiachen to take the initiative to explain everything to him. He smiled slightly and slowly said, "From the very beginning, I was convinced that you were framed."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiachen's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared intently at Fu Lu. He slowly asked, "You know?"

Fu Lu nodded: "Your sister told me about you. She said you've always been very well-behaved and sensible, and your academic performance is also quite excellent. How could such an outstanding child like you do such bad things?"

Besides, the police have already investigated; you're innocent, right? So don't worry.

When Song Jiachen heard Fu Lu's heartfelt words, for some reason, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Just as he was about to speak, Fu Lu smiled and took over the conversation again, saying, "Alright, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's go."

Song Jiachen was puzzled.

"Where are you going?"
