Upon hearing her father's voice, Yu Lian immediately dropped the broom from her hand, making a sound.

She opened the door in alarm. Her father, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, looked much older. Yu Lian's sixth sense told her that their family reunion was impossible.

"Come in, Dad, just say what you have to say."

Yu Jinbu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that her eldest daughter understood her best.

"Yes, I was..."

Yu Jinbu spent more than an hour explaining how he had been set up.

Originally, I wanted to discuss with this son-in-law how to get them to distance themselves from him.

However, Yu Lian quickly discovered the loophole.

"Dad, stop thinking about it. No matter what, we're inextricably linked. Don't tell anyone. Just sign the contract. I know you're reluctant, but it concerns your reputation and your life."

Having been in the business world for many years, Yu Jinbu understands the nature of business people and Gao Yang's thoughts.

Since he was capable of going this far, it was inevitable that he would exterminate them all. Otherwise, for him, as long as he and his family existed, they would be ticking time bombs.

Don't be fooled by his high-sounding words; once you sign the contract, he'll turn on you the next minute.

Thinking of this, Yu Jinbu, a middle-aged man in his fifties, could no longer hold back his tears.

It wasn't because his hard work of more than ten years was gone, but because he hadn't allowed his family to enjoy a single day of happiness with him, and in the end, he even dragged down his eldest daughter.

I should have waited longer. I've waited for over ten years, what are a few months?

Now that my eldest daughter has been dragged into this, she's been made an accomplice in "protecting" traitors. How will she ever be able to stand on her own two feet in society again?

I'm afraid even the school won't tolerate her.

"Lianlian, Daddy is so sorry!"

Before Yu Lian could react, Yu Jinbu knelt on the ground.

Yu Lian hurriedly got up, wanting to help her father up.

"Don't worry, Dad won't implicate you. Even if he reports you, Dad will definitely protect you."

"Dad, can you still go to Xiangshi now? Gao Yang hasn't restricted your freedom of movement, has he?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Yu Lian was reluctant, but this was all she could do.

"You can't die. Your sister finally managed to remember what Dad looks like. Since this path is blocked, let's do the opposite... like this..."

"Bang bang bang—Is Engineer He's wife there?"

"Yes! Is there anything I can help you with?"

The people outside were very anxious. "Engineer He has been admitted to the hospital! You should go and see him!"

People come and go quickly.

Yu Lian didn't know why, and hurriedly handed the house over to her father.

"Dad, don't cry. Watch the kids for me for a while. If I'm not back before dawn, you can sneak away."

"Okay, go ahead."

Yu Jinbu felt a surge of guilt as he looked at his daughter, which choked him up and made him sore. It took him a long time to recover.

When he looked up, a figure could be seen peeking through the crack in the door of the room opposite.

She spoke in a soft, sweet voice, "Hello, Grandpa."

Looking at her grandson, Yu Jinbu could no longer hold back and turned away, bursting into tears.

He not only let down his daughter, but many people also suffer because of their choices.

hospital.

Yu Lian rushed to the hospital and saw that He Lin was unconscious.

When Xiao Hu saw her arrive, he politely stood up and greeted her.

"Sister-in-law, Engineer He has been working overtime for many days in a row. In addition, there was a wound on his back that was bleeding before we noticed it."

Yu Lian immediately understood. "Thank you for your trouble, Xiao Hu. It's getting late, you should go back and rest. I'll watch over him."

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll be going now."

After Xiao Hu left, the ward returned to quiet.

Yu Lian, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but get up to check his wound. His back was tightly wrapped in gauze, and it was impossible to tell whether it was good or bad.

But if you can faint from the pain, it must have been serious from the beginning.

Yu Lian, whose mind was in turmoil, saw the man slowly open his eyes and change his expression.

Why didn't you say so at the time?

"I'm afraid it will affect your score."

I never imagined these two things would be connected. "What does this have to do with my rating?"

"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand. I don't want to play the victim in front of you and affect your judgment of me later, like at the beginning, when you thought I did it out of gratitude..."

Yu Lian never actually gave He Lin a score; she was just lying to him. He was fine and didn't need a score.

"You've reminded me. Given your deception, I'm deducting 100 points."

He Lin stood up excitedly, but accidentally aggravated his wound.

"Ouch—I didn't mean to, I can explain, or please don't deduct so much, okay?"

Even though he was sweating from the pain, he still couldn't forget about his pathetic score.

Yu Lian gave in, "I was just kidding. You've always been perfect, you haven't lost a single point."

He Lin was surprised, as he had thought he was somewhat inadequate, especially given Qin Yuan's recent situation.

"You're not just trying to appease me?"

"Hmph, now you're the one trying to coax me, why should I? To be honest, He Lin, you're great."

Hearing her lavish praise, He Lin's heart skipped a beat. "Well... how about you tell me how you feel about me in advance? It's been about six months anyway."

Yu Lian completely forgot about the deadline; she had been too busy lately.

"Okay, but let me ask you a question first."

He Lin nodded eagerly, "Okay, go ahead and I'll give you a satisfactory answer."

"He Lin, this question is irrelevant to the answer I give you now. Just answer me: if our two families switched identities, but our initial relationship remained unchanged, would you go to the farm to find me without hesitation, just like I did?"

Without a second thought, He Lin shook his head. "No, I have no feelings for you. I will keep the child with myself and my parents. But if it were now, I would leave the child with my parents and go find you without hesitation. I don't want to lie to you."

Yu Lian nodded in satisfaction after hearing the answer.

"Okay, I understand. As for that answer, I need to think about it carefully all night tomorrow."

"Okay, you go back and rest first. I can take care of myself."

Yu Lian needs to rest, but He Lin cannot be left alone.

"I'm going out for some fresh air. I'll come back in a bit to see you."

Finding a secluded spot, Yu Lian entered the space.

She lay on the soft bed, relaxed for a moment, and then took a bath.

It was probably the spring water that calmed her restlessness and unease.

To be honest, what she misses most is her children and family.

If she can return safely this time, she will agree to He Lin's request, but before that, she has to hurt him again.

Perhaps, the two of them should never have crossed paths in the first place.

Gao Yang is a cunning and meticulous person who cuts off all possible escape routes.

He drove his father to the brink of despair.

Yu Lian naturally hated him, but now she had to ensure her father's life and the safety of her family.

I can only apologize to He Lin and my four children for now.
