The general manager knew that saying too much at this moment would only make things worse. Although 'Lin Zhentian' was right in front of him, he still felt that something was not right.
But his own guilty conscience had already masked his unease, and he didn't dare mention the company again.
After chatting for a few minutes, the general manager fled the ward as if he were escaping.
Lin Wan'er followed him out, and only after seeing that he had really left did she breathe a sigh of relief and then close the door.
Just as 'Lin Zhentian' was about to explain who he was to her, Lin Wan'er hugged him, sobbing.
"Dad, you scared me to death!"
"So you're alright! Do you know how scared I was of losing you!"
woo woo woo...
Unable to contain her grievances and fear any longer, Lin Wan'er threw herself into Lin Zhentian's arms and burst into tears.
Lin Zhentian's lips twitched. In this situation, if he revealed who he was, Lin Wan'er would probably be so angry that she would punch him a few more times. But if he didn't say anything, he would eventually slip up.
But now that he's decided to impersonate Lin Zhentian, shouldn't he collect the payment for his hard work these past few days?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhentian revealed a playful smile.
"Wan'er... Daddy's alright, isn't he? Don't cry..."
Lin Wan'er's eyes were red like a rabbit's. "Dad, what exactly happened? Weren't you in the ICU? When were you transferred to a regular ward?"
Lin Zhentian remained silent, only smiling.
Lin Wan'er looked at him in confusion, "Dad, say something, Dad..."
Upon hearing the word "father," Lin Zhentian smiled with obvious pleasure.
"My dear daughter, call out to Daddy a few more times."
Although Lin Wan'er didn't know what he was thinking, she was too lazy to think about it too much. In her opinion, as long as Lin Zhentian was safe and sound, everything was worth it.
"Daddy, my good daddy, daddy... daddy..."
Lin Zhentian lost himself amidst the repeated calls of "Dad".
Just then, the butler rushed in from outside, looking worried that this 'Lin Zhentian' would be exposed, and wanted to come and cover for him.
But as soon as they entered, they were stunned to hear Lin Wan'er calling out to the so-called 'Lin Zhentian' on the hospital bed with a sweet expression.
Lin Wan'er, however, seemed oblivious and asked, "Why are you here? Did my father notify you?"
The butler opened his mouth, then looked at 'Lin Zhentian', unsure of what to say.
Just as the butler was at a loss, 'Lin Zhentian' slowly reached out and touched his face.
Lin Wan'er looked at his actions with a heart full of doubt.
Suddenly, with a flick of his finger, the face that looked exactly like Lin Zhentian changed instantly, revealing a completely different face—Xu Tian's face with a hint of mockery.
Lin Wan'er's pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Her face turned from red to white, then from white to green, and her lips trembled slightly, but she could not utter a word for a long time.
She pointed at Xu Tian, her fingertips trembling slightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and rage.
"You...you dare to mock me!"
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Wan'er felt a surge of blood and qi, and almost fainted from anger.
No wonder she felt that Lin Zhentian's behavior was a bit strange. It turned out that Xu Tian was trying to take advantage of her. Who knows how many times she had moaned to please Lin Zhentian?
Seeing that Lin Wan'er was about to lose control of her emotions, Xu Tian quickly jumped off the hospital bed and hid behind the housekeeper.
"Don't misunderstand, I really didn't mean to. You rushed into my arms and called me 'Daddy' as soon as you came in, and I didn't have a chance to explain."
Lin Wan'er was furious. She grabbed a vase from the bedside table and threw it at Xu Tian.
Xu Tian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, narrowly dodging the attack. The vase shattered on the ground with a crash.
He raised his hands above his head, looking innocent and terrified.
"You...you...calm down! I only made that feint to help you deal with the people from the group, and it was really just a joke. You're a magnanimous person, don't hold it against me."
As Xu Tian spoke, he looked to the butler for help. The butler, looking helpless, could only bite the bullet and step forward to try and calm Lin Wan'er's impending outburst of anger.
“Miss, he really had no choice but to do this. If the people in the company knew that the master was lying in a critical condition with his life hanging in the balance, wouldn’t that be bad for us?”
Lin Wan'er glared at Xu Tian angrily, "He can't just lie and make me call him 'Dad'...those two words!"
She felt aggrieved when she thought about how she had called Xu Tian "Dad" so many times without any warning.
Xu Tian quickly smiled apologetically, "Oh dear, you're not a man, you don't understand what it feels like to be called 'Dad' by a beautiful woman... If you don't like it, I promise I won't do it again, okay?"
Lin Wan'er was still furious and wanted to settle accounts with Xu Tian.
Unexpectedly, the doorknob of the ward turned slightly at that moment.
The three of them held their breath, their eyes fixed on the doorknob.
"Mr. Lin, there's something else I'd like to ask you."
The general manager's words came from outside the door.
Lin Wan'er turned pale with fright and stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Luckily, the housekeeper locked the door when he came in, otherwise the whole thing would have been exposed.
Xu Tian quickly gave her a wink, then put on his mask.
Despite being furious, Lin Wan'er had no choice but to hold back for the time being. She pretended to sit on the stool and started peeling an apple.
Seeing that the two had begun to act out a fatherly and filial piety act, the butler straightened his clothes and went over to open the door.
The general manager walked in with a smile, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two men.
"I just heard Wan'er sound angry? Is everything alright?"
Lin Wan'er raised her eyelids slightly. "Of course I'm angry! How could you treat me like that? Where do you want me to put my face?"
The general manager quickly smiled apologetically, "Our Lady Wan'er is very magnanimous, please don't hold it against your uncle. I promise this will not happen again."
Lin Wan'er then forced a smile and continued peeling the apple.
"What else do you want?"
"Lin Zhentian" said, feigning composure.
The general manager said, "The audit team is relentlessly pressing us, and all of the group's business has now been suspended. What should we do next?"
Lin Zhentian hasn't even figured out the company's situation yet, so how could he possibly offer any good advice?
But if I don't speak, the general manager in front of me will inevitably become suspicious.
After thinking it over, Lin Zhentian said, "I'll go back to the company tomorrow. The problem needs to be solved. You should also think carefully about what to do about this."
Lin Zhentian calmly tossed the question back to the general manager.
The general manager could only nod, exchange a few more words of concern, and then prepared to leave.
Just as the three were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the general manager suddenly stopped and looked at the broken vase in the corner.
Lin Wan'er's heart was pounding in her chest, fearing she would give herself away.
