The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

The two exchanged a glance as the footsteps drew closer.

Everyone was instinctively looking for a place to hide.

Yu Lian was pulled into the bathroom by He Xinglan.

"Sister-in-law, don't make a sound!"

Nervously, Yu Lian nodded haphazardly, then listened to the approaching footsteps outside.

"Hey? Why isn't the door closed?"

The door was then quietly closed.

Chen Shu came here to retrieve the documents left by the boss, and left immediately after receiving them, without noticing anything unusual.

He was already used to this apartment; the fact that he could handle the role of the boss's assistant showed that he was capable.

After confirming that no one was in the house, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

He Xinglan lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. It seems to be my brother's assistant. He's probably here to pick up something. You stay here and watch over things. I'll go out and check things out."

"Okay, be careful."

"no problem."

The two of them turned themselves into sneaky thieves.

After He Xinglan left, Yu Lian took several deep breaths and opened the thick notebook.

Turning to the first page, there was nothing there, just a dark, blank page, as if He Lin had scribbled something on it because he was upset.

I don't know how many pages I turned before I finally saw a line that I pieced together: "I miss you so much".

The moment Yu Lian saw that line of words clearly, tears fell onto the paper with a patter.

The ink stains on it were instantly soaked, and by the time Yu Lian noticed, it was too late.

The bottom was already smudged. If He Lin were to open it, she would probably find that she frantically wiped away the marks on it.

Quickly flip through each of the following pages.

After reading through the thick notebook, Yu Lian felt completely drained of strength. She tried to stand up but couldn't.

"Sister-in-law, look... Sister-in-law! What's wrong with you!"

Yu Lian waved her hand with difficulty, "It's nothing. My legs probably went numb from squatting for too long. I didn't notice when I stood up and fell."

"Why didn't you call me? Let's leave after we're done looking around. I'll bring you here again if you want to come back later. You can sit outside first. I'll put this place back to normal. My brother is very shrewd; I'm afraid he'll find out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

He Xinglan spent more than ten minutes erasing all traces of their presence. After confirming that there were no major problems, she left the apartment building with Yu Lian.

After the two of them left, Chen Shu came out from the side and took a deep breath.

If he hadn't been quick to ask me something when I went downstairs, he might have actually called the police.

Who did the boss's sister take upstairs with her?

He looked into the distance with questions in his eyes, but could only see a back view and couldn't tell who it was.

If the boss finds out, she'll be in deep trouble.

He was allowed in purely because this competition was of utmost importance; the boss had left his documents in the bedroom.

He had already sensed someone in the bedroom, but he didn't dare to confront them directly, so he could only go out first and wait for them to leave before going back up to get it.

Chen Shu was very clear about who his subordinate was and who paid his salary, so he didn't even think about whether or not to tell his boss.

However, He Lin is still on his way, and he will receive a notification from Chen Shu around tomorrow afternoon.

The two, unaware of the situation, had already gotten into the car.

Seeing that his sister-in-law was in a bad mood, He Xinglan suggested taking her out to eat.

Yu Lian did not refuse, and on the way, she asked He Xinglan about He Lin's unusual behavior over the years.

"My brother is still the same as usual, but the person we see is different from the person he is in private, otherwise he wouldn't be sick. Sister-in-law, you don't need to feel guilty. It's just that my brother can't handle things well."

Seeing He Xinglan unconditionally lean on her, Yu Lian didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Lanlan, thank you. This is the first time I've met you. Why are you dressed so strangely?"

The screeching sound of brakes reached their ears along with the last syllable of that sentence.

"Sister-in-law... what did you say?"

He Xinglan thought for a long time and realized that he should not have seen his sister-in-law at a strange time. Why would she have seen him in that way?

Or did your sister-in-law secretly come here a long time ago?

If she really sees me dressed strangely, how will I ever face my sister-in-law again!

"Why are you dressed so strangely and staying in your room instead of going out? Did something happen? Or is it because of me again?"

He Xinglan didn't care at all whose fault it was; she just wanted to know how her sister-in-law knew.

"Sister-in-law, don't scare me! How did you know? Did An'an tell you? Ah! How embarrassing!"

She looked like she was going to die, sitting in the driver's seat pounding on the steering wheel, exuding an air of embarrassment.

"No, do you remember that really fat person who took An'an home back then?"

He Xinglan immediately understood. No wonder the stranger was so agitated because of An'an and her mother's problem. But then she thought about it again and realized it was impossible.

"Sister-in-law, are you lying to me? How could that be? That person looks like he weighs at least 200 pounds..."

Yu Lian looked at He Xinglan seriously and said, "It's me. I had an allergic reaction to the medicine. It was a new drug that our company was researching, but it failed. At the time, I hadn't figured out how to face you, so I used it to disguise myself."

He Xinglan felt ashamed when she heard the truth. She thought she could put on a perfect act in front of her sister-in-law.

She must feel like a freak now.

"Sister-in-law, you..."

"You don't need to worry about what I think of you. If you really like me, I won't object, as long as it doesn't affect your normal life."

He Xinglan forced a smile and started the car again.

She was somewhat affected by her sister-in-law's death, but more importantly, she found something she truly loved.

Wearing those scary-looking makeup looks and strange clothes is entirely for the purpose of facilitating her photoshoot.

She is now a photographer with some renown in the photography magazine industry.

However, she doesn't show her face and mainly communicates with the magazine via fax and mail.

"Sister-in-law, actually I run a photography studio now. Those outfits are for my job. Don't be scared."

Yu Lian remained indifferent, showing neither surprise nor any other reaction.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you like it?"

Hearing He Xinglan's question, Yu Lian turned her head and looked directly at the young woman in front of her. "Lanlan, your sister-in-law doesn't dislike you. As long as you like it, don't worry, I support you."

Hearing his sister-in-law say she supported him, He Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

They soon arrived at the restaurant. Yu Lian was still clutching a piece of paper in her hand—the one that had gotten wet.

She tore it off quietly, leaving no trace.

She hoped He Lin wouldn't find out.

The crumpled paper that day felt like sparks, making her restless and uncomfortable.

Finally, she put it in her handbag.

"Sister-in-law, we think we've run into someone we know. You'd better hide so you don't get caught. That Xue Ci is the grandson of my grandfather's good friend, the one who manages our business. He's on good terms with my brother now, but he has a really sharp tongue!"

He Xinglan was so engrossed in complaining that she was completely unaware of the trouble approaching from behind.
