The press conference has ended.

Everyone was about to leave when He Lin suddenly had the front and back doors closed, leaving the media reporters behind.

Suddenly, someone stood up from the seat by the window: "Boss, I've written it all down, this one, this one, and this one. Are you out of your mind?"

The young man spoke in a light, cheerful voice, almost as if he were watching a show. Those in the audience who were called upon by the Khan were terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. Those who weren't called upon weren't much better off.

"Boss He, what are you trying to do? We were just asking a few questions."

"Nothing much, just wanted to get to know you guys. Let's go."

After Yu Lian went out, Xiao Xu told her that He Lin had turned back. She ran back and opened the front door: "Sorry, everyone, let's go."

She gestured for them to move, but no one dared to.

"My wife said to leave, are you deaf?" He Lin's words, devoid of any warmth, caused a moment of panic at the scene, making it seem like people were fleeing a disaster.

Yu Lian was speechless, not knowing what to say to him.

"Don't do that again. Be more peaceful."

"Okay, then later. I won't say it now because you don't deal with them often and don't know that some of them are completely unscrupulous. If you say something positive, they'll report it and it will become negative. I'm just giving a warning to prevent this from happening."

"Yes, you've thought of everything."

He Lin was about to speak when Jasmine interrupted him.

"Oh my, Mr. He has two faces? I think you should... let's talk about it privately."

Yu Lian shrank back, scrutinizing her, "Is this related to me?"

"It was there a moment ago, but it's gone now. What should we do now? Don't worry, even if He Lin blocked the big one for you, those flies and leeches will haunt you for life."

"As expected of a young lady from a family of businessmen, she's really impressive."

What are you doing?

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding anymore. I've seen all kinds of storms, they're not enough to bring me down."

Aside from her fatigue, it was hard to tell that Yu Lian had any other emotions.

"Alright, it's on me today! And I have some good news to share."

Seeing her acting mysteriously, Yu Lian decided to cancel her work and take two hours off. The company was very busy right now, and two hours was the limit.

"Then please lead the way, gentlemen and ladies."

"Okay!"

Yu Lian's car followed behind, while He Lin drove very quietly.

How are you feeling?

"It's fine, but I'm still a little worried."

Yu Lian felt it was only natural to worry, after all, this was no small matter. But He Lin didn't think so—if his wife was in a bad mood, it meant he had failed as a husband.

"Can't you just let me get involved?"

"Didn't you already get involved?"

Yu Lian feigned ignorance. He Lin meant that he would take complete control. He was ruthless and decisive, and this enormous matter would likely be resolved within three days. But this was not the outcome or the process Yu Lian desired.

"I think you've been working too hard lately. Why don't you go on vacation abroad and take a good rest for a while? You can leave the company to me. I promise that when you come back, the company will be back to normal."

"No, you know that... He Lin, can you stop trying to persuade me?"

Having exhausted all other options, He Lin gave up.

"Yes, I respect your opinion."

As they spoke, they arrived at the restaurant that Jasmine had booked. It was almost lunchtime, so it was a bit crowded. However, Xue Ci was very attentive and protective of Jasmine at all times.

"Look at Xue Ci, how considerate he is."

He Lin looked at her with a resentful expression: "Then should I put my arm around you?"

Yu Lian dodged away: "I was just kidding."

He Lin, who had been picking a fight for no reason, forcefully put his arm around the waist of the person next to him: "You asked for it yourself, I don't care."

Once inside the private room, Yu Lian was finally able to escape.

"Hey, what are we saying about this couple?"

"You want to hear it?" He Lin's eyes changed as he spoke.

Xue Ci stood up: "If you don't want to, then don't say it."

Having known each other for many years, Xue Ci naturally knew that He Lin disliked Jasmine and considered her an enemy.

"Alright, sit down first. You two order first, otherwise two hours will pass and we still won't have our food."

Xue Ci averted a bloodbath before it could erupt. Caught in the middle, he had no choice but to choose between his best friend and his beloved wife. Not only were their personalities incompatible, but more importantly, their stances differed. Jasmine looked down on He Lin, and thus rarely spoke well of him to Yu Lian. This was the main reason for their antagonistic relationship.

After finishing the meal, Jasmine still showed no sign of speaking.

Yu Lian glanced at the time and asked, "Tell me quickly, I have to go."

Jasmine stood up, a rare blush appearing on her face: "Um, just wanted to announce—you're going to be an aunt."

Yu Lian paused for a moment, then put on a polite smile.

"Why do you look so unhappy?"

Yu Lian waved her hand and stood up: "Congratulations, Jasmine. I've witnessed you get to where you are today step by step. It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that it's unbelievable and such a pleasant surprise."

"That's true, after all, you were indeed surprised by what I said before."

Xue Ci moved closer to the two of them and asked earnestly, "What did they say?"

"Get away." Jasmine pushed Xue Ci away, grabbed Yu Lian's hand, and said, "I'll be relying on you from today onwards. There are so many things I don't understand."

"Of course, as her aunt, it's my duty!"

Leave the hotel.

He Lin then spoke again, "You seem a little worried about Jasmine. Why?"

Yu Lian turned to look at He Lin, listlessly: "It's too unexpected. You have no idea how much Jasmine used to rebel against her family and how much she hated getting married and having children. Now, in the blink of an eye, she's not only married but also a mother. I feel a little uneasy."

"You think Xue Ci is terrible?"

Yu Lian looked at He Lin, then remained silent.

"It's okay. Even though we're good friends, you're still the boss. I won't betray you."

Yu Lian trusted He Lin, so she chose to express her opinion: "Maybe I'm being a bit conservative. For example, putting aside our current relationship, from my perspective, if I had known Xue Ci before you and then met you, I would absolutely not have had any romantic relationship with you."

Why?

Birds of a feather flock together.

"I'm innocent, my wife! I've always been an honest and upright man."

Yu Lian raised an eyebrow.

He Lin remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Of course, I don't mean Xue Ci is innocent. Okay... him... never mind."

"You've run out of stories yourself. I didn't say anything to you, nor did I suspect you. I'm just looking at it from my perspective, and my perspective isn't the truth. Besides, even putting all that aside, I still have a problem with him. Do you remember how he treated me when we first met?"

He Lin certainly remembered, and remembered every single detail clearly.

"Fine, I give up. Think whatever you want about Xue Ci, just don't contact me, okay?"

Yu Lian couldn't help but laugh: "You call this brotherhood?"

"I don't care, just promise me."

I promise you.

Having forgotten her earlier unease, Yu Lian returned to the company and parted ways with He Lin downstairs.

When I got upstairs, Xiao Xu told me that a guest was looking for me.
