The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

Watching the large group of people leave the council hall, Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief and then retrieved her bag from the waiter.

"Miss Yu, are you alright?"

"It's okay. Contact Sally if there are any problems. I'll arrange for her to go out to work."

"Oh... okay."

Hank was sweating profusely from the scene just now. He just hadn't expected that a few words would be enough to send them away—although the problem wasn't completely solved, the woman's eloquence was truly admirable. She clearly explained the situation in just a few words, making those people back down.

After getting into the car, Yu Lian greeted Sai Li naturally. Having just witnessed a group of menacing people retreat in defeat, Sai Li could hardly believe what the people in front of her had done.

"Miss Yu, what have you done?"

Yu Lian explained earnestly, "Actually, it was just a few words. You thought these people were difficult to deal with before, and they really are. In our country, there's a saying: 'Strike the snake at its seven-inch mark.' When I had some free time, I read some newspapers in the hotel lobby—I'm telling you the truth, don't be angry—your place is small, but these families, especially those who were powerful and influential in the past, still pay great attention to their family reputation even today. You abide by the rules of your country, but I'm not from your country, so I don't need to give them face. So, whatever they're afraid of, I just hinted at it, that's all."

Sally nodded in agreement: "Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. But we're all used to it. Indeed, there's a reason why Ms. Samuel admires you."

Yu Lian waved her hand to skip the topic and took out the documents from her bag to discuss work with Sai Li. Not wanting to be distracted, she asked Sai Li to show her all the potential sites within half a day.

In the end, Yu Lian chose the one with the least advantage.

Are you sure you want to choose this company?

Yu Lian was certain that she had her own unique insights.

"But this one is the most remote, which will greatly increase transportation costs, and it's also close to the forest, so the requirements will be more stringent than the previous ones."

"I understand. Sally, this is the one. Could you please contact them for me? Ideally, we could sign the contract by tomorrow morning. My payment is readily available; please tell them that."

Yu Lian was drawn to a natural water source within the park, a good option for her future diversified development plans. She clearly remembered the information stating that the water source was rich in natural minerals. This site selection was a long-term strategy; she couldn't just focus on short-term gains.

Sally was surprised, but didn't say anything more, respecting Yu Lian's decision. She just really wanted to know what Ms. Samuel would think when she found out.

After a long and eventful day, Yu Lian returned to the hotel. Jasmine was having afternoon tea at the time.

"You're back. By the way, I told you Xue Ci contacted me again just now. I don't know what he's worrying about all day, it's so annoying."

Instead of receiving a response from her best friend, Yu Lian's smile was impossible to ignore.

"Hahaha, Jasmine, do you know what you look like right now?"

"Like what? Your smile like that can't be anything good."

"Like a child who is resentful of being disciplined by adults."

Yu Lian had known Jasmine for many years, but she had never seen her act like this before. It seemed that love truly could change a person.

"And you and Xue Ci even bear a slight resemblance. Is it true that 'marriage makes you change to your partner'?"

Jasmine walked into the bathroom in disbelief and carefully examined herself in the mirror—she didn't want to look like her husband.

"Liar! It doesn't look like it at all."

"I didn't say they were exactly the same. But you should have been infected by Xue Ci and have changed a little bit."

Unconvinced, Jasmine walked out and circled Yu Lian several times, trying to find something in her that she had in common with He Lin. But in reality, she couldn't find anything.

What was originally a lighthearted, almost joking remark never expected to have such a huge chain reaction. Jasmine was depressed all day because of her words.

Seeing her lying there looking depressed, Yu Lian really wanted to travel back in time and shut her up.

"Not at all, I'm just kidding. Go look in the mirror if you don't believe me, or I can take a picture of you and you can compare?"

Jasmine waved her hand listlessly: "Go eat, don't worry about me. I need to think about my life's purpose."

These words made Yu Lian even more hesitant to leave: "I'm really begging you, I promise I won't talk nonsense anymore, okay?"

Jasmine suddenly sat up and said solemnly, "Yu Lian, you really are my best friend. You pulled me up in this crucial moment. I'm in such a bad state right now, I need to write to Xue Ci."

She quickly regained her composure, went next door to ask the receptionist, and then remembered that if she mailed it now, they would only get back to China before the letter did. Finally, she put on a coat and went to the lobby on the first floor to make an international call.

Yu Lian stood to the side, fearing that Xue Ci would kill her when they returned.

"Please, whatever you do, don't mention me. Don't say anything about me."

Jasmine gestured for her to go to the side.

Yu Lian sat on a sofa not far away. The lobby was quite empty, with few people coming and going. At this time of day, everyone was resting, and only occasionally someone would come to check in.

"Auntie!"

Yu Lian looked up and little Leon rushed into her arms. In just over a year, little Leon seemed like a completely different person. Some time ago, there were some matters to take care of here, so his grandmother took him back to China.

"Who brought you here?"

Little Leon pointed to the door. Mary looked around and saw Yu Lian, then breathed a sigh of relief: "Leon, don't run around like that next time. Ms. Yu Lian, what a coincidence, are you here for work?"

"Yes, I'm here to work."

Mary looked at the front desk and lowered her voice, saying, "The gentleman and lady are outside paying their respects. I'm just taking little Leon for a stroll."

"Is that so..."

Yu Lian was interrupted by little Leon before she could finish speaking: "Auntie, where's brother?"

"Your brother is at home; he didn't come with your aunt. You'll see them when you go to Xiangshi, okay?"

Little Leon shook his head: "But it will be a very, very long time. I want to see my brother and Manman right now."

Yu Lian thought for a moment: "If we can't see each other now, how about we call each other?"

"Okay! Thank you, Auntie!"

Little Leon was quiet and reserved from a young age, but he was exceptionally kind, thoughtful, and had a rich emotional world. Yu Lian observed these traits through their daily interactions.

She was on the other end of the phone with little Leon. While waiting for the call to be returned, she intermittently heard Jasmine's voice beside her. There were none of the things she expected—Jasmine's replies and questions were utterly ordinary.

The call connected, and Yu Lian spoke a few words to the child. Little Leon eagerly grabbed the receiver and shouted excitedly into the other end. Hearing the familiar voice, he became a little shy and hesitant, speaking cautiously.

Yu Lian stared at Little Leon, her smile never fading, completely unaware that Jasmine's long phone conversation had ended.
