"I had someone observe him, and he seems to treat your sister quite well. At least for now, we can't see any flaws in his behavior on the surface."

"Don't overthink it. What's done is done, there's no use in going crazy. It's because of what you said that your sister is now living in fear, and your mother, ever since she got my contact information last time, calls every few days to ask about you."

Besides admiring Yu Wen's abilities, there was something else that completely impressed Jasmine, something she could never imitate in her lifetime.

"How exactly did you manage to keep your whole family so well-behaved? It might not be the most accurate way to put it, but both your parents and your in-laws genuinely respect you from the bottom of their hearts. If my family had half of yours, I wouldn't be running around all the time."

Yu Lian herself couldn't really explain it, but this was something that had been laid from the very beginning.

"It's half coincidence and half reality, really."

After losing her father, Yu Lian was able to work and support her family, which indirectly made her the eldest daughter in the family.

Her in-laws also happened to be the reason why she didn't like owing favors, and she felt indebted to He Lin.

Offering help when someone needs it most is something a normal person would remember for a lifetime.

Besides, whether it's her biological parents or her in-laws, they are all kind-hearted people.

Not only was she grateful, but they were too.

This indirectly led to Yu Lian becoming a hidden, true person in charge of both families.

The two chatted back and forth, never feeling awkward from pauses or silences.

They sat there all night, until dawn broke, before returning to their respective bedrooms to sleep.

I woke up in the afternoon.

The children had finished their afternoon nap and were having afternoon tea with Jasmine.

"Jasmine, I've made up my mind. Thank you for your guidance."

"You're welcome. The medicine you brought is very effective, very effective. I feel so much better now. Next time, just tell me directly, don't lie to me about some mineral water."

Yu Lian smiled helplessly, "Okay, this isn't because you hate taking medicine that you're resorting to this tactic."

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you. You might have to get involved; your company is in trouble."

Yu Lian slowly sat down, picked up a pastry from the table and put it in her mouth, gesturing for Jasmine to tell the story slowly.

Having lived for so many years and seen all kinds of storms, even if the company were to go bankrupt now, she would only feel sorry for a few days.

"I heard that your company signed some kind of contract with him before? Now, because your company's drugs don't meet the standards, you're being sued in a court in the Americas, and they're demanding compensation according to local laws and regulations."

Jasmine said a lot, but in short, the incident happened in the morning and then immediately reached her ears.

That's when she came to tell her.

"Well, it's basically going to be a lawsuit, right? I know about this, I expected it to turn out this way, but some people just won't listen to advice. Anyway, I'm not going to get involved anymore, let it be."

Looking at Yu Lian in front of her, Jasmine didn't know whether to describe her as dejected or as having completely become indifferent to life and death.

She couldn't speak.

That afternoon, Yu Lian sent the child to her in-laws' house.

He continued to live with Jasmine.

I exchanged contact information with Jasmine, and then an emergency occurred at the company.

Besides sending Yu Jinbu back to take charge, they have been trying to contact Yu Lian, but Yu Lian just won't show up.

The third day after the company incident.

Logically speaking, the Lunar New Year is just two days away, and everyone should be on holiday.

But Progress Pharmaceuticals was brightly lit.

Yu Lian wanted to go back and resolve the issue, and the old lady found her through her own abilities.

Yu Lian then devoted herself entirely to helping the old lady restore the jade artifact.

Fortunately, Jasmine's family had a skilled craftsman at home.

After several craftsmen communicated and agreed, they all worked together to restore the jade piece for Ms. Musser.

Those that are still usable will be kept.

If it's unusable, remake it with brand new materials.

Before the initial plan is finalized.

The master craftsman looked at the huge piece of jade and exclaimed in admiration at its excellent quality.

This greatly surprised Musser.

According to the master craftsman, such a large piece of jade will be of superior quality after being cut.

Why would Yu Lian so easily sell to a complete stranger like me? And why would she go to such lengths to find me a top-notch technician?

A doubt quietly formed in Musser's mind.

As a shrewd and astute businessman, this quickly reminded Musser of his experiences over the past few decades.

So after treating everyone to a meal, Mussel got straight to the point: "Miss Yu Lian, thank you very much for your help, but if you have any requests, please just say so, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

This sentence sounds like a thank you, but upon closer inspection, it takes on a different meaning.

Yu Lian didn't argue with the old man, after all, this piece of material was indeed rare.

Anyone would think this is a windfall, and that her motives are impure.

"Um... Ms. Mussel, thank you for your kindness, I accept it. If I ever need your help in the future, I will not hesitate to ask, but I don't need it for now. Goodbye."

Jasmine gave the old woman a deep look. "You misunderstand. She has a happy family and is not short of money at all. She doesn't know you or where you work, but it shouldn't be of much use to her."

Jasmine grabbed her bag and quickly followed.

After everyone left, Mussel sat at the dining table and thought for a long time.

Finally, the slightly disappointed look in Yu Lian's eyes kept replaying in his mind.

While feeling ashamed, Mussel was also curious: Did Yu Lian really approach him without any ulterior motives?

The more the old man thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. In the end, he angrily slammed his fist on the table, feeling that he had been heavily influenced by the business world and that everyone he met had ulterior motives, and that everyone was after his money and connections.

He immediately decided to go see her the next day and sincerely apologize to her.

.........

On the other side, Yu Lian, who had just returned to her residence with Jasmine, encountered the person she least wanted to see.

Zhuo Heng and Yu Xin.

Yu Lian didn't want to get entangled; the way she argued and turned on him was unsightly.

So they left directly from the other side, without giving the two a chance to come forward and speak.

But Jasmine chose to stay.

"I'm sorry, she doesn't want to see you. Please don't trespass on our property again. If there's a next time, I won't consider your sister's feelings."

After saying that, Jasmine turned and left, and in front of the two of them, she instructed the security guard not to let them in again.

Yu Xin felt extremely guilty, "It's all my fault, that's why my sister is like this."

Zhuo Heng gently comforted her, "It's not your fault, it's mine. But don't worry, I'll find a way to get Sister Nian back."

Yu Xin nodded trustingly and left with him.

After the person left, Jasmine's housekeeper rushed in again, saying that someone was looking for Yu Lian at the door, claiming to be her husband.
