To verify its authenticity.

Jasmine came out first to verify the truth for Yu Lian.

Jasmine had only seen the photo before, but she recognized He Lin at a glance.

She said to herself, "What day is it today? Why are so many people at my house?"

"Miss Mo, I would like to see my lover."

He Lin stated his request without saying more.

Then he stood at the door, glancing into the distance, clearly not wanting to say anything more.

"Just wait and see."

He glanced one last time at his mother, and at the "waiting-for-wife stone" standing at the door.

Jasmine shrugged. Yu Lian had mentioned the relationship between He Lin and her to her.

She even knew about the sham marriage to gain custody of her child.

Jasmine felt it was necessary to make things clear with Yu Lian.

She's going further and further down the wrong path.

If you want to continue living with the child's father, you should break out of this vicious cycle as soon as possible.

If she doesn't want to live a normal life, then the lives of others are none of her concern. People have to be selfish if they want to live comfortably.

She can help solve the problems that Yu Lian is worried about.

Back indoors.

"Your husband is waiting for you at the door. Are you going to see him or not? If not, I'll call someone to ask him to leave."

You mean He Lin?

"You have a second husband? I didn't know, Yu Lian?"

She sat on the sofa with a teasing expression and opened a bottle of wine for herself.

Yu Lian walked over and snatched it from her hand.

"Drink less alcohol and more water."

The object in her hand changed so quickly that by the time Jasmine reacted, Yu Lian had already reached the door, tilted her head back, and emptied the wine bottle.

"Is it really necessary? Seeing a man is like going to war."

Jasmine couldn't understand it, and neither could Yu Lian.

However, after thinking it over, it's still because of his "previous record".

It's understandable that He Lin would be angry if he disappeared without a word.

"He Lin?"

Yu Lian called his name, and He Lin waited with his back to her until her footsteps approached.

"How is it?"

Yu Lian: ?

"I meant, how are you feeling? If you haven't had enough fun, I'll go out with you."

"Aren't you angry?"

"I'm angry. I'm angry that you never tell me how you feel. If you're tired, of course you can throw everything away and do what you want. I have no right to stop you, but next time you could call me briefly so I can make sure you're safe, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Lian's previously serious face broke into a smile.

"Okay, I'll remember that. But isn't it alright for you to just swagger over like that?"

"I can't stay any longer. You should go home after you've rested enough. Yu Xin won't go back to bother you. They're taking a flight tonight to go to Nantai for their honeymoon."

The reason why He Lin did not immediately stand on the same side as his wife this time is obvious. Once upon a time, Zhuo Heng was a rival in his eyes.

Now that the alarm has been lifted, he even took the time to have someone investigate the whole story.

"Okay, let me tell you something unpleasant, Yu Xin is your sister, not your daughter. Sometimes you should let go of your motherly mentality."

Upon hearing He Lin's words, Yu Lian asked in surprise, "Me? The mindset of a mother?"

"Isn't that right? Think about how you treat Yu Xin and how you treat these children—what's the difference?"

Yu Lian didn't rush to ask questions this time. Perhaps she really hadn't realized it because she was so caught up in the situation.

The ball deflated and immediately went limp.

"Alright, that's fine. You should go back now, my head is a little dizzy."

He Lin looked at her flushed face and reminded her, "Take some hangover medicine, get a good night's sleep, and go back tomorrow."

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

The two said goodbye one after the other. The next second after turning around, He Lin turned back and said, "By the way, I'm going on a long trip for the next two weeks. If you can't reach me, I'll go to the company to find Xue Ci."

Yu Lian could tell from He Lin's expression that this journey was very important to him, and perhaps the key factor in whether his family could make a comeback.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll take good care of the family."

From afar, Jasmine, who had witnessed everything through the window, clearly saw the balance in Yu Lian's heart.

She is an outstanding student who is extremely unbalanced in her studies, but still manages to take a firm grip on her life.

Essentially, if you don't look closely, it's just a repaired piece of porcelain. From a distance, it looks like a work of art, but upon closer inspection, you can see that a crack runs between the two pieces.

Yu Lian returned indoors and looked at Jasmine, who was leaning against the sofa with half her body against it, and the playful smile on her lips.

How could she not know? She must have witnessed the whole thing.

"If you have anything to say, please speak freely. I'll be leaving in a bit."

Jasmine completely agreed with her current thinking. "You really should go. Oh, and let me make this clear..."

Jasmine didn't waste any time, briefly explaining the problems she had observed. Then she asked Jasmine to seriously consider whether she should remain in this sham marriage.

Yu Lian was not unaware that she was deeply mired in a quagmire.

The more you struggle, the more painful it becomes.

She had no reason to back out immediately.

"Yu Lian... you're not the type to hesitate or compromise, but the problem is you have no reason to hesitate. Admit it, you like He Lin, right?"

Yu Lian was stunned for a moment after hearing Jasmine's words.

She could sense her own feelings of affection, but what good were those feelings?

Can you really determine whether you'll spend your entire life with someone you like based solely on that feeling?

There wouldn't be so many lovelorn couples in the world.

"Jasmine, I..."

Jasmine reached out and interrupted her.

"You don't need to say anything, I know what you want to say. Yu Lian, give it a try, right? I know you're not one to settle. I'm going to say something really cliché: you two are both grown up now, if you have feelings for each other, give it a try, you won't lose anything, go for it, be more proactive."

Jasmine waved, and the maid brought over two bags of luggage.

"You know me, and you know yourself, so I won't say anything more. The driver is already waiting outside."

Seeing that he was so heartless in sending her away, Yu Lian didn't say anything more and took the luggage.

"Is Jasmine really okay? I feel like I've been causing him trouble all along..."

"Stop!" Jasmine's tone suddenly turned icy.

"Yu Lian, listen to me this time. Let yourself try and follow your heart."

Yu Lian nodded, having made a very firm decision.

The driver departs.

She stared blankly out the window.

I was incredibly nervous.

Suddenly I remembered that He Lin was going out of town for a while.

After much thought, I decided to take advantage of this impulse and make things clear, otherwise I would feel uneasy if I kept worrying about it.

When Yu Lian got home, it was completely dark. She pretended to be busy for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to dial that unfamiliar number.

The call was connected shortly afterward.

However, it wasn't He Lin's voice.

Chen Shu asked anxiously, "Hello, please speak quickly, the boss is not in the company."

"It's Chen Shu. Since He Lin isn't here, I'll wait for him to come back."

Chen Shu was also in a hurry, so he didn't take the matter to heart and left quickly.
