My Husband is a Vegetative State Patient

Chapter 5

"Where is Lin Yu?"

Facing the aggrieved Lin Yiqian, Zhou Quan's expression looked as if he had just eaten something foul, his face full of disgust.

"Wuwuwu..." Lin Yiqian didn't answer, only crying.

"Where is Lin Yu?" Zhou Quan gripped Lin Yiqian's shoulders, barely holding back his anger. He had worked so hard to get to this point, and now, just when he was about to push Zhou Ling off the heir position, was everything going to fall apart?

"Enough! The situation is what it is. Even if you kill Yiqian, you won't bring Lin Yu back!"

Watching her daughter being bullied, Sun Wanting stepped forward, pulling the furious Zhou Quan away. "Tell me! What does my Yiqian lack compared to Lin Yu?"

"Heh!" Zhou Quan sneered. Was the Lin family trying to play the villain first and force him to yield? Zhou Quan's face darkened, his tone sarcastic. "Lin Yu holds thirty percent of Boyang's shares, plus the large inheritance left to her by her grandfather. And what does she have? What does she have?"

Lin Yiqian's crying stopped suddenly, and Sun Wanting's face turned awkward. Zhou Quan's words were the truth, and they had no way to refute or explain them.

"So what if it's thirty percent of the shares? Does Zhou Er Shao think that my daughter, the legitimate president of Boyang, is worth less than those shares?" Lin Hongxin suddenly spoke up, trying to defuse the situation.

"Exactly! Yiqian is our biological daughter and the rightful heir of Boyang! Marrying Yiqian means inheriting Boyang! Once you sit in the position of Boyang's CEO, do you still care about Lin Yu's little shares?" Lin Hongxin's sudden revelation about Lin Yu's background surprised everyone. But for now, Sun Wanting couldn't think of any better way to handle it.

"Biological daughter? Lin Yu isn't a Lin family daughter?" Zhou Quan, disbelieving, looked at Lin Hongxin and Sun Wanting. He could not believe it. Everyone knew that Lin Anyan had cherished Lin Yu the most before his death, and the inheritance left behind was mostly for Lin Yu's dowry!

"She is, but she is not my daughter," Lin Hongxin replied, not delving deeper into the complex family issues. Instead, he glanced at Zhou Quan with confidence. "Living people are more important than shares left by the dead, aren't they?"

"Is this the promise you're making as the CEO of Boyang?" Zhou Quan's voice grew deep, and his pitch-black eyes were filled with coldness. If Lin Hongxin dared to deceive him, Zhou Quan would not let it slide!

"Yiqian has already married you. As for Lin Yu, you can guess where she is. Do you think I have any reason to deceive you?" Lin Hongxin had already investigated Zhou Quan’s illegitimate son's status thoroughly. If not for this, how could he have allowed Lin Yu to marry into the Zhou family? Originally, Zhou Quan wasn't Lin Hongxin's first choice, but since sending Yiqian to the Xu family to suffer was the last resort, he had to compromise.

Lin Yiqian's trouble with the Xu family wasn't a secret in this circle. It was common knowledge that the Xu family came to the Lin family to marry Lin Yiqian. However, the Xu family had explicitly stated that there would be no banquets or celebrations. Everyone knew the reason and kept silent.

It seemed that the Lin family had mixed up things and sent Lin Yu, who wasn't their biological daughter, to the Xu family to take Yiqian's place. Zhou Quan had some feelings for Lin Yu, but they weren’t deep. Since Lin Yiqian could bring him greater benefits, he would naturally choose to cooperate with Lin Hongxin without hesitation.

Having reached an agreement with Lin Hongxin, Zhou Quan went alone the same day with the household registration book and Lin Yiqian to get their marriage certificate.

Of course, to the public, Zhou Er Shao was still marrying the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Zhou Quan, knowing his position wasn't solid enough, dared not openly offend the Xu family and kept the truth hidden. Even if one day the Xu family found out the mistake, he could claim to be the deceived party and still get away with it!

Zhou Quan and Lin Yiqian got the marriage certificate, and the Xu family received the news immediately. The Xu family fell into an oppressive silence, even Xu Zhentian’s face turned gloomy.

"Zhou Quan is the illegitimate son of the Zhou family. Zhou Ling is the legitimate heir. If the Xu family helps Zhou Ling secure the position of CEO of the Zhou family, then everything Zhou Quan does will be in vain." Lin Yu, who had come downstairs to pour water after hearing the noise, seemed to casually remind them.

"Is that true? Zhou Quan is an illegitimate son?" Xu Zhentian had never heard this before.

"Grandpa Xu, you can find out by asking your people to investigate." As Zhou Quan’s fiancée, it wasn't surprising that Lin Yu knew this. She felt no hesitation in telling the Xu family members.

Xu Zhentian furrowed his brow. "Have someone check it!"

"Yes." Xu Yelei left after casting a meaningful glance at Lin Yu.

Knowing the Xu family was wary of her, Lin Yu finished speaking and didn’t linger. She went back upstairs and entered Xu Mo’s room.

Xu Mo was still unconscious, lying motionless in bed... Wait, unconscious? Lin Yu instinctively looked at the crescent mark on her palm.

She had fallen asleep after drinking the water from the pool, and now she had returned to seven years ago. Not only that, she could hear all the sounds within a certain range. It was truly magical! But did the water pool work on Xu Mo?

Regardless of whether it would work, she decided to try. After all, Xu Mo had never woken up in the seven years that passed. The worst that could happen was that he would remain in bed for a lifetime. She wouldn’t ignore him!

With that thought, Lin Yu calmly picked up the kettle and walked into the bathroom.

She had overheard the Xu family's discussion the night before, learning that besides the bathroom, the rest of Xu Mo's room was fully equipped with surveillance devices.

Lin Yu wasn't disturbed by the surveillance. Xu Mo was not like ordinary people. If he were harmed, he wouldn't be able to fight back. And her identity was too sensitive—how could the Xu family not be cautious?

Afraid that Xu Mo would be uncomfortable if he drank too much, Lin Yu carefully fed him a few spoonfuls of water, then stopped. Patience was key.

She didn’t waste any of the remaining pool water and used it to wipe Xu Mo’s face and hands and feet.

As for his body, Lin Yu hesitated. It wasn’t that she was shy, but she wasn’t sure how the Xu family would react if they saw her undress Xu Mo completely and touch him inappropriately.

But one thing was certain: since Xu Zhentian had tacitly allowed her to stay and take care of Xu Mo, all matters concerning Xu Mo were now under her responsibility.

Lin Yu was grateful for Xu Zhentian's trust. Although it wasn’t much, and was being monitored, it still felt like a step forward.

That night, Lin Yu didn't return to her room but stayed by Xu Mo’s bed. She could ensure the pool water was not harmful, but she still worried about any unforeseen accident that could happen to the comatose Xu Mo.

Because she couldn’t relax, Lin Yu stayed awake all night, reading professional books to Xu Mo.

By morning, after confirming that Xu Mo hadn't shown any unusual symptoms, Lin Yu finally felt at ease. She stood up, leaned over, and kissed Xu Mo’s forehead. "You’re amazing, keep going!"
