"Yes, would you marry your enemy? I never knew your brother was so emotionally fragile. Isn't there any other way?"

Yu Lian fell into thought, "You'd better not come up with bad ideas. Although fighting poison with poison is a good method, aren't you afraid of angering your brother to death?"

He Xinglan: So the problem wasn't just with my brother, my sister-in-law was too...emm...

"Knock knock knock—I'm hungry, I want to eat."

There was a knock on the door; clearly, her brother couldn't even stand it for ten minutes.

"Why are you panicking? I've never seen you eat this enthusiastically before."

He Xinglan opened the door in an annoyed manner and pulled his sister-in-law out.

The matter gradually became complicated, and she needed to sort out her thoughts before telling her sister-in-law an indisputable fact.

My sister-in-law was always a genuinely good person, with impeccable manners and a strong sense of loyalty.

After learning the truth, He Xinglan declined Yu Lian's invitation to have lunch together and left, laughing and crying at the same time.

Yu Lian watched He Xinglan leave strangely, then subconsciously looked at He Lin, "I've never heard of this disease being contagious. What happened to your sister?"

He Lin didn't answer, but just kept telling her to have someone bring the food over.

But when the food was actually delivered, He Lin didn't touch it. Just placing it in front of him caused him to lose his appetite.

"It's disgusting, I won't eat it."

Yu Lian, who was enjoying her meal: ...

"What would you like to eat?"

He Lin leaned back on the sofa, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to eat what you make yourself, nothing else."

Yu Lian truly regretted getting involved with this big shot; it felt like having to take care of another child, a troublesome brat who caused trouble all the time.

"Okay, you don't have to wait."

Yu Lian turned around and told someone to go buy some groceries.

The ward, though small, was fully equipped, including a simple kitchen.

Meanwhile, He Xinglan, who had "escaped" from the research institute, squatted by the roadside, repeatedly reviewing everything that had just happened.

After she had sorted out all her thoughts, she made a phone call to Xue Zhi.

Xue Zhi was surprised to receive He Xinglan's call.

"How come you have time to call me?"

He Xinglan said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. I have something to tell you. From a psychologist's professional perspective, what is the probability of this succeeding?"

He Xinglan told Xue Zhi her entire plan in one go.

Xue Zhi gave a dry laugh. "Your family is really something, are you kidding me?"

"No, to be honest, only my sister-in-law can cure my brother's condition, and it's the only way. Do you think he'll kill me if he finds out the truth after he gets better?"

"I probably won't kill him, but it's only right that we never see each other again."

"As long as it gets better, that's fine, right, Xue Zhi?"

Even over the phone, Xue Zhi could sense He Xinglan's enthusiasm for this matter, and he nodded almost unconsciously.

"Um, you..."

"Okay, thank you!"

Before I could even say a word, the call was disconnected.

"Dr. Xue, are you in a good mood today? Are you on the phone with your partner again?"

No, you've misunderstood.

The head nurse chuckled, "Young people are so reserved. At your age, you should be thinking about marriage. Dr. Xue, keep up the good work and try to invite us to your wedding at the end of the year."

Xue Zhi didn't argue further and left.

Here, He Xinglan returned to the small hospital room.

He Lin's expression revealed his attitude when faced with He Xinglan's return.

"Lanlan, it's hard to get a taxi here. I'll find someone to take you later. You sit down and rest for a while; it's hot outside."

"Sister-in-law, I need to talk to you for a bit. Come here."

He Xinglan ignored her brother's gaze again and pulled him away, this time to the stairwell.

"Sister-in-law, listen to me. If you really want my brother to get better quickly and completely..."

Yu Lian expressed deep distrust of He Xinglan's method.

"What kind of wicked idea is this time?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm not thinking anything funny, please marry my brother, I'm begging you."

Yu Lian was so frightened that she took two steps up the stairs. "Lanlan, are you crazy?"

"Hey, keep your voice down. You're not crazy, are you? Sister-in-law, let me explain this to you slowly."

He Xinglan started her story a long time ago.

This allowed Yu Lian to gradually understand the changes in He Lin's feelings.

"But what I did to you..."

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't feel insecure about being such a good person. You're so charming, it's perfectly normal for my brother to fall in love with you, okay?"

Yu Lian was almost blushing from He Xinglan's praise.

"One last question: if that's really the case, and I go to the He family to find him, would he have the heart to leave me waiting downstairs for most of the day?"

"My brother can't bring himself to do it."

"When I asked him last time if his illness was because of me, he told me not to forget to flatter myself?"

He Xinglan was devastated while cleaning up the mess her brother had made.

Is this what happens when two love-struck fools get entangled in a romantic mess?

"Sister-in-law, it's not true, it's fine as long as it's fake. When my brother is fully recovered, we can slowly tell him the truth. Once my brother is recovered, everything will be easier to handle."

"Are you sure? But he's still seeing a doctor today, and he's going to remarry tomorrow? That's too unbelievable. Your brother's gone crazy, he's not stupid."

Speaking of this, He Xinglan smiled with relief.

"Hahahaha—Sister-in-law, you underestimate how deep my brother's feelings for you are after he went crazy. Do as I say..."

The two men crouched at the corner of the stairs, plotting their scheme.

Yu Lian had always felt this was unreliable, and instinctively refused, "What if your brother can't understand and kills me?"

She still remembers exactly how He Lin killed her in her dream.

"Don't worry, it's all fake. I'll arrange everything in advance. The process is fake, the stamps are fake, and it has no legal effect. Once my brother recovers, you can leave whenever you want without any worries."

Fearing her sister-in-law wouldn't agree, He Xinglan pulled out the ultimate bombshell.

"Sister-in-law, haven't you always wanted custody of the child? When you and my brother have a fake marriage, and he's in a daze, you can prepare the transfer agreement, and I'll be your witness. Get him drunk, and everything will be fine. You definitely can't win a lawsuit against my brother; you have no way to prove you're my sister-in-law."

He Xinglan is truly unreliable, yet possesses a touch of cleverness.

However, these clever tricks were exactly what Yu Lian wanted.

"Lanlan, you're helping me like this...you don't have any ulterior motives?"

He Xinglan: "...Sister-in-law! How could you think of me like that!"

After squeezing out two tears after a long struggle, He Xinglan said aggrievedly, "I just want my brother to get better quickly. Do you have to suffer because of him? Besides, my brother is the most difficult person to take care of. Just thinking about how you'll have to take care of him for the rest of your life if you can't be cured, it's fine for my brother, who's a man, but you're at the prime of your life. How can you waste your time on him?"

As He Xinglan approached step by step, Yu Lian thought it over and over and realized that being able to move He Lin away, this big shot, and still retain custody of the child was a very good option.

"Okay! I promise you, but what if your brother gets suspicious?"

"Oh, don't rush. You can find an opportunity to tell him in the next couple of days. Sister-in-law, remember that after my brother went crazy, you were the only person in his world. He definitely won't be like this when he gets better."

A dark figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

As the two slowly walked back, He Lin just hung up the phone.
