on the way back.
Noticing that the passenger in the front seat seemed preoccupied from the moment they got in, He Lin glanced in the rearview mirror. There, a group of energetic children, their attention focused on themselves.
"Would you like me to show you around?"
"Never mind, let's go home first."
From the moment she started, Yu Lian had been having the same image repeating in her mind.
Halfway there, she couldn't help but turn to He Lin and ask, "You mean Zhuo Heng'ai... no, I mean, does he have a slight crush on my sister?"
After observing for a moment, He Lin immediately gave Yu Lian a negative answer.
"It's clearly the husband's responsibility. He seems gentle and considerate, but there's no emotion in his words. He's like a machine that just goes through the motions."
He Lin summed up the strange feeling that Yu Lian had in one sentence.
"So it's all wrong...it's all wrong..."
Yu Lian lowered her head to confirm her thoughts.
Recalling the days and nights they fought side by side, Yu Lian couldn't bear to think the worst of her close friend.
The strange thing is that a few years ago, when Zhuo Heng confessed this to her.
He was drunk that night because of the difficulties caused by his business partners; he drank an unknown amount of alcohol.
Even standing up became a problem; I vomited into the toilet all night.
"Let me tell you something. Two or three years ago, when our company, Haomei, was doing well, my dad and I were driving Zhuo Heng home after a drinking party..."
That time, the two of them worked together to take Zhuo Heng home.
Yu Jinbu was cleaning the floor that Zhuo Heng had dirtied downstairs.
When Yu Lian brought him some hangover soup, Zhuo Heng found a photo frame from somewhere and hugged it, crying for a long time.
Yu Lian learned the identity of the person in the photo from his intermittent sobs about the photo.
They also learned that Zhuo Heng had a secret, unfulfilled romance.
The next day, Yu Lian did not bring up what happened to Qianyu Group the night before, and just acted as if it were an ordinary event.
Zhuo Heng probably wanted to say something, but Yu Lian was afraid he would feel awkward, so she deliberately avoided it.
Now it seems my good intentions have caused me to miss something important.
"Just ask him directly."
"No, if I ask him directly, wouldn't that be alerting him? I think he must have agreed for some reason, but it's definitely not for money or power."
Yu Lian spoke eloquently, but she couldn't deduce the last possibility.
"I feel Zhuo Heng is in danger right now. If it were just about money, I'd be relieved. But if something happens to Yu Xin..."
"Don't overthink it. I've assigned someone to keep an eye on Zhuo Heng. He'll let you know immediately if anything seems amiss."
Yu Lian's mind was filled with thoughts of Zhuo Heng's purpose; she thought about it from the moment she got home until late at night.
Everything in the house has become like air.
"Mom, you haven't said goodnight to us yet?"
Yu Lian was startled and put down the kettle in her hand. "Oh, okay, I'll be right there!"
She called out twice to the upstairs children, grabbed her water glass, quickly went upstairs, comforted each child, and then returned to her bedroom.
"What are you laughing at?"
As soon as I entered, He Lin was lying on one side, a smile in his eyes, mixed with a tenderness that could drown a person.
He Lin calmly put down the book in his hand, got up and came to her side.
Yu Lian sat in front of the dressing mirror and wiped her face.
"Alright, don't get so caught up in this. Let me massage your shoulders, take a break, and I'll give you a full analysis later."
"How was Zhuo Heng to you before your sister came into the picture? Or what was your relationship like?"
"Great, he's an excellent colleague and a very good friend."
Upon receiving the message, He Lin continued, "Has he shown you any romantic feelings or offered to pursue you? Or have your father-in-law or other friends and elders tried to set you up?"
"No, we rarely appear together, but as far as I know, we never do. I don't know what happens behind the scenes. Zhuo Heng definitely didn't mean it that way. He's very kind to every colleague he knows in the company."
The two went back to bed and lay down, and He Lin finally got his answer.
"As far as I know, your sister has absolutely no connection with your current company, so does your father or mother possess any secrets you may have inadvertently revealed, or anything that attracts him?"
After much thought, Yu Lian came up with a possibility.
After all, she had been away from the two of them countless times, and her father was a talkative man when he was drunk.
What if he reveals even the slightest secret about the space?
Human relationships are worthless in the face of self-interest, let alone personal gain.
Seeing her flustered expression, He Lin knew the reason.
"knew?"
Yu Lian looked at He Lin and nodded, but she still needed to confirm with her father.
"I think it's related to Lusca. I feel that someone who meticulously planned to come to Hong Kong to take revenge on your family wouldn't leave so easily. Could it be that Zhuo Heng was bribed by them?"
He Lin didn't expect her to connect the two things together.
However, he also found Lusca's hasty escape suspicious and remained on guard.
"Okay, I'll investigate personally tomorrow. Don't worry, it'll be quick, and I won't let the bad guys cause any trouble."
"Okay, go to sleep, I'm so tired today."
Yu Lian turned to the side to turn off the light, actually to hide her guilty conscience.
A new contradiction suddenly arose in her mind.
She had never thought of telling anyone, including her closest relatives, about her big secret.
But now that I've decided to live a good life with He Lin, shouldn't I tell him the secret of the space?
Yu Lian was undecided, and even more afraid that her choice was wrong.
He Lin hugged her from behind, startling her.
"What's wrong?"
Turning around, Yu Lian hugged He Lin. "Do you think I'm being a little too neurotic, letting things escalate to this point with Yu Xin based solely on my feelings?"
"Of course not. You're just used to worrying about her since you were little. It's normal for you to feel uneasy when she suddenly steps out of her comfort zone, and it's reasonable for you to worry. Don't doubt yourself because of this. Even if you're wrong, I'll take the blame. Don't be afraid."
Yu Lian remained silent, using the question she had just asked to cover up the fact that she had been startled earlier.
Fearing He Lin would ask more questions, she successfully diverted his attention.
a few days later.
Because she had been listless and absent-minded for so long, she almost forgot her appointment with Ms. Samuel.
Samuel specifically mentioned several children in his invitation.
"Hurry up and get dressed yourselves, Mommy forgot the time, I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, Mom, we're almost done cleaning up."
He Lin rarely had free time to spend a weekend with his family, but Ms. Samuel's invitation interrupted his plans.
Is it reliable?
"She was just an old lady who traveled all the way to Xiangshi, and she still managed to kidnap me."
"Okay, I'll take you there and wait for you in the car?"
Yu Lian knew she couldn't go against He Lin's wishes, "I've already said it, I don't care if you're bored."
"Okay, I got it. I won't be bored waiting for you at all."
And so, the family hurriedly set off.
A custom-made Silver Spur was parked near Fook Lam Moon.
"You're quite an old lady, go ahead and enjoy your meal."
Yu Lian led the children away from He Lin and, guided by a waiter, entered a private room.
Yu Lian, however, encountered a man in the private room whom she had never seen before, yet who seemed all too familiar.
