The next day.

Last night, Yu Lian soaked in the spiritual spring in her space. In the quiet and pleasant environment, she was able to think more comprehensively.

If you tell He Lin the truth now, he'll probably risk everything to get involved.

But in this volatile society, with its ever-changing policies, once he gets involved, not only is he in danger of losing his own life, but his past identity could also lead the matter into another deadlock.

I don't want to implicate anyone, nor do I want to complicate simple matters.

Yu Lian sat in front of the ward, holding the breakfast she had just brought from home.

She had to make things clear before her parents-in-law and sister-in-law arrived.

He Lin woke up early and had almost finished getting ready. He was just waiting for her to bring him breakfast.

"You're here. Did you sleep well last night?" He Lin carefully observed her expression, probably trying to glean her answer from it.

However, because of the perfect score Yu Lian gave him last night, he is now certain that he will get the result he wants.

"He Lin, eat first, we'll talk after you finish eating."

He Lin took it and started eating quickly, completely losing his usual aloofness as a young master, as if he wanted to finish it in one bite.

"I've finished eating, and I'm full. Now you can speak."

Yu Lian took a deep breath, her heart pounding like thunder, and her throat felt like it was being pricked by silver needles, making her unable to speak.

"He Lin, let's...get a divorce. These are the documents I prepared beforehand. Please sign and stamp them, and I'll also need to trouble you to come with me..."

"Why!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Lian didn't intend to reply. Instead, she said to herself, "After you're discharged from the hospital, come with me to the neighborhood committee to finalize the divorce. The sooner the better!"

"I disagree!! I'd rather die than get a divorce!"

The man suddenly became calm, and his speech became much more composed, as if it were two people who had asked why just now.

Yu Lian turned her head, composed herself, wiped away her tears, and returned to her previous cold expression.

Then he took out the report he had hidden in his bag.

"He Lin, aren't you ashamed of me as you think? I've already paid back what I owed your family! What more do you want? I've given birth to four children for the He family, I've walked through the gates of hell and come back, isn't that enough?"

"And now you actually have the audacity to think I'll be with you!"

"What future can a lowly engineer like you have? Look at yourself!"

She slammed the report onto the hospital bed; the report was spread out, and it happened to be the page with the invalid stamp.

He Lin picked it up and read the contents carefully.

"Satisfied now? I almost lost this opportunity when I enrolled because of you, and now that I finally have an important project, I've lost my eligibility because of you!"

He Lin trembled as he flipped through the other pages. He pulled out the IV drip, got out of bed, walked to her, and took her hand. "Please, don't get a divorce, okay? If you want to participate in something, I'll definitely get you in. I swear, if I can't do it, we'll get a divorce..."

Yu Lian shook off his hand. "He Lin, I thought you weren't naive. Do you know that once is never enough? So what if you can get the school to approve my background check?"

"Do you even realize that as long as you're on my file, I'll live with this stain on my record forever! I'll let it slide this time, but what about next time? And the time after that?!"

Yu Lian roared at He Lin with all her might.

The nurse came over and reminded her, and she then lowered her voice.

"You're going to get a divorce anyway. Do you know how disgusting it is to think that I've wasted my youth on you and the kids?"

The temperature around He Lin was so cold it felt like it could freeze, but he still calmed down and thought things through. "Is something wrong? Tell me, I can solve it, I really can, you have to believe me!"

Yu Lian glanced at him disdainfully and advised him gently, "He Lin, let's part amicably. I don't want things to get too ugly. You can have all those children. Since your family needs children, you can have them all. I don't want them. Of course, I'm reminding you, even if you force them on me, I won't take them. Remember that."

"Sign the divorce papers."

He Lin stared intently at her, unable to understand why someone could change so much. If it were six months ago, she would definitely have been holding the child tightly.

"You're lying. You said you wanted children before."

Yu Lian, who was already on the verge of collapse, just wanted to finish the battle quickly and not let He Lin slip up. Once he found out, everything would be over.

"I tied the child up because I wanted to see how much I could get, but it seems your family doesn't actually have much money. Now that I have the money, why should I stubbornly do something that's thankless and exhausting?"

He Lin staggered back two steps and sat on the edge of the hospital bed. "Is that really what you think?"

"Otherwise, young master. But you don't seem to be the young master anymore. You can tell you haven't had many relationships. You fell for it just by pretending. Consider this a lesson for you. Don't be fooled next time."

"Sign it now!"

The ruthlessness in Yu Lian's eyes didn't seem feigned.

But no matter what, He Lin was unwilling to take action.

He Ning'an, who had been standing at the door with her grandmother for a long time, ran in.

"Mom, what are you saying! How could you not want An'an anymore? Did you get angry because I fought? Hit me and scold me, I won't fight back anymore."

After only a moment of hesitation, Yu Lian pushed the child heavily onto the sofa next to her without any hesitation.

"From today onwards, I'm not your mother! Don't think I don't know you're siding with your father and plotting how to deal with me!"

"What a waste, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you."

Yu Lian coldly observed everything before her and urged He Lin to sign the papers quickly.

"Sign or not?"

He Lin reached out his hand, trembling. "You pushed the child?"

"What's wrong? Can't I push?"

"I'll sign, but you need to tell me what happened."

Inside the room, everyone in the He family, both inside and outside, was affected to some extent by this incident. Only Yu Lian, apart from the occasional hint of disgust and ruthlessness in her eyes, seemed completely unaffected.

She said indifferently, arms crossed, "Okay, you sign."

He hesitated for a long time before signing his name, suppressing the intense discomfort in his heart.

Before she could return the pen to Yu Lian, it fell to the ground.

"Tell me, why?"

Yu Lian looked disgusted. "You believe everything I say? Isn't lying to you once enough? It's ridiculous that you keep falling for it a second time."

"Remember to come on time the day after tomorrow, but it's okay if you don't come. I have plenty of ways to get the divorce done. Since your family likes children, then you can have them all."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and saw her mother-in-law standing at the door.

"You like children so much, you must take good care of them... Auntie."

Yu Lian's tone was indifferent, and even laced with sarcasm.

Li Ying almost fainted. Yu Lian was still Yu Lian, but she was not the Yu Lian they knew.

Is it really possible for someone to be so cunning?
