Did she have plastic surgery?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned over to look at Lu Sheng’s face, and mused earnestly, “Don’t say, the surgery is quite successful, much prettier than before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siyan spoke expressionlessly: “This is my dad’s illegitimate daughter, just arrived in Jiang City a few days ago, I bumped into her outside the convenience store just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what happened to her, did she faint on the road?” Lin Yi asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might not believe it,” Lu Siyan paused for a second, “she just fell asleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahahaha, she fell asleep while walking? And just happened to bump into you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I must say, your new sister seems quite interesting, and good-looking too,” Lin Yi looked at Lu Siyan, “What are you planning to do now? Send her back to the Lu Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Siyan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to go back to the Lu Family at all, nor did he want to let a stranger into his apartment, but he couldn’t just leave his nominal sister on the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not going back to the Lu Family,” Lu Siyan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then to your apartment?” Lin Yi turned his head, starting the car and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To your place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment came from Lu Siyan in the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha—?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi muttered upfront, “I owe you one, being woken up from sleep to act as your driver is one thing, but to take your sister to my place too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But given how cute your sister is, I’ll reluctantly agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siyan ranks second in the Lu Family and is twenty-three this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned from studying abroad last year and became a surgeon at the best central hospital in Jiang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a profession is rare among the heirs of affluent families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when one can easily inherit the family business, who would choose such a demanding job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Siyan is completely uninterested in the Lu family’s business and at the hospital, nobody knew he was the second young master of the Lu family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He despised that so-called upper-class circle, whether it’s the obsequious flattering or pretentious opportunism, he found it all extremely hypocritical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, due to his indifferent nature, he avoids social interactions and is not fond of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since childhood, he hasn’t felt much for familial affection and holds no deep feelings for Jiang Ting and Lu Chengye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after returning to Jiang City, he bought an apartment to live alone, seldom returning to the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the siblings, he only occasionally contacts his elder brother, Lu Jingyan, and hardly interacts with Lu Ziye and Lu Youming; he is closest to Lu Youye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s mainly because Lu Youye is lively by nature, not minding his cold and sharp-tongued demeanor, and would often visit his apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his adopted sister, Qianrou, they aren’t even blood-related. Whenever he meets her, he just keeps it cordial and that’s about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No feelings, not particularly liking nor disliking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Sheng was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she shares half of his blood, for him, whether there is a blood relationship or whether she is an illegitimate daughter is not important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Sheng slept drowsily next to Lu Siyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car jolted, and the girl’s body leaned to the right. Before she could touch the edge of her clothes, Lu Siyan held her up with a look of disdain on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he directly tilted her body towards the car window, as if he really didn’t want to touch her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a standalone apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already a bit dark outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siyan stepped out of the car first and said to Lin Yi, “Didn’t you say she’s cute, you carry her in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, I’ll carry her then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi, clearly accustomed to Lu Siyan’s temperament, walked directly to the backseat and picked up Lu Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was lighter than he expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi couldn’t see clearly from the driver’s seat, but now looking carefully, he was somewhat stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s sleeping face was so beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her eyes were closed and her face was a bit pale, her skin was as smooth as a peeled egg, and her long, curved eyelashes trembled with her breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him wonder if she would look even better with her eyes open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you, you don’t know your blessings,” Lin Yi carried Lu Sheng inside while speaking to Lu Siyan ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Having a sister is great, unlike me who only has a brother, I don’t even know what having a sister feels like. I didn’t have a good impression of Qianrou, but I liked this sister as soon as I saw her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two probably haven’t even had a word with each other, right? When she wakes up, can you not be so standoffish and show her a bit of brotherly love?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siyan bluntly refused: “Can’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Sister?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls are such a hassle, he really didn’t want to trouble himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this Lu Sheng woke up, he’d just call her a taxi to send her back to the Lu Family, not abandoning her on the roadside already counted as fulfilling his duty as a brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi carried Lu Sheng into the apartment and laid her on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying on the sofa, the slender girl subconsciously curled up. It wasn’t clear if it was due to the cold or a lack of a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this made Lin Yi feel a bit of heartache, so he ran to the guest room to get a blanket and considerately covered the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lu Siyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he came into the apartment, he sat by the coffee table, picked up a medical journal he had left there last time, and started reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the girl had nothing to do with him, but was Lin Yi’s sister instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi was used to his behavior and didn’t bother saying anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Power within was being restored, and Lu Sheng slept incredibly deeply, so much so that Lin Yi wondered if she would sleep right into the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting was boring, so he pulled Lu Siyan to play video games in front of the TV; however, while playing, his phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi casually picked up the phone, his head tilted watching the game screen, sandwiching the phone between his shoulder and cheek, and asked, “Hello? What’s up, mom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after a few seconds, Lin Yi abruptly tossed the game console onto the carpet, anxiously saying, “What did you say? You said that Xiao Yan was nearly hit by a car?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Siyan heard this and was also taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright mom, I’m coming home now, wait for me there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi hung up the phone, met Lu Siyan’s gaze, and quickly explained the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said that this afternoon his mom took Lin Yan out, and Lin Yan ran into the middle of the road to pick up a toy, nearly getting hit by a big truck; luckily a girl risked her life and suddenly rushed to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after saving Lin Yan, that girl just left without leaving a name, only knowing her last name was Lu. His mom wanted to find the lifesaver, so she told him to come home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Lin Yi and Lu Siyan had never thought that the girl lying on the sofa downstairs also had the last name Lu; they did not connect the frail-looking girl with such a heroic deed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-10T07:21:12.887Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4b68c8260ebf42959d57a322e31c86560ef87d6ea3c3942b91694ffda58848e","after-reborn-i-became-the-bigshots-beloved-chapter-289","after-reborn-i-became-the-bigshots-beloved-chapter-288",511,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-reborn-i-became-the-bigshots-beloved-cover.jpg"]
