She couldn't believe it if things really went according to the story in her dream.

He Lin should become the world's richest man and be famous all over the world.

Instead of becoming a genuine mentally ill person.

Yu Lian subconsciously wondered if it was because of her, and urgently sought out He Lin to ask him for clarification.

"He Lin, was it because my actions back then traumatized you too much that you became like this?"

"Have I changed? I think I'm fine."

"You know that's not what I meant." Yu Lian's eyes were already red, and her voice was filled with uncertainty and probing.

"Yu Lian, don't think too highly of yourself. Do you think I would still care about you after you abandoned me and our child?"

"Or do you still think I, He Lin, am just a cheapskate? That the whole world wouldn't turn without you?"

He regretted what he said. He shouldn't have done that. Even if he didn't want her to blame herself, he shouldn't have done it that way. There was a better way to resolve it.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

He Lin walked out of the research institute's gate, ignoring Yu Lian calling after him.

I hailed a taxi and left.

However, he got out of the car after driving only a short distance.

He stood by the roadside, venting his resentment and anger, which drew stares from passersby.

"Is this guy crazy...?"

A passerby's words calmed the agitated He Lin down. Without any emotional fluctuation, he silently turned and left.

late at night.

Seeing that He Lin was completely drunk, the Xue brothers, Xue Ci and Xue Zhi, discussed it for a moment and decided to take him home.

"He Lin is hopeless. How could he fall for a woman like this?"

"Stop talking, bro, hurry up and help me up."

After much effort, they finally got the person home, by which time most of the He family members were already asleep.

He Xinglan looked at her brother, who was completely drunk, and told Xue Ci to put him on the sofa and leave him alone.

As she saw the two brothers off, Xue Ci spoke up at the opportune moment, "Can you tell me about your brother and your ex-sister-in-law? So many years have passed, yet he still seems to have that woman in his mind. What kind of status does he have now? This kind of behavior is beneath him."

He Xinglan pondered for a moment. The night breeze was a bit chilly, so she pulled her coat tighter around herself and spoke softly, "My sister-in-law... is very capable. My brother's marriage to her was a twist of fate, and my sister-in-law's scheming played a part in it. However, later, because of one incident, our whole family completely changed our opinion of her..."

The three of them stood at the door and talked for a long time, during which He Xinglan maintained a certain smile on her lips.

The bitterness he experienced in his memories could be instantly washed away when he mentioned Yu Lian.

After He Xinglan finished speaking, Xue Ci's opinion of Yu Lian completely changed.

"But why did she come back to life? That's probably the biggest reason that upset your brother and your family, isn't it?"

"I can't say much about this. You can ask my brother another day. It involves my sister-in-law's privacy."

Xue Ci pursed her lips and muttered, "You call her your sister-in-law? Didn't your brother and sister-in-law divorce a long time ago? If they still had feelings for each other, your brother wouldn't have drunk himself unconscious in the middle of the night."

Xue Ci's words were very harsh, but they were the truth.

"None of your business. I'm happy to call you sister-in-law. Goodbye."

"Why!"

Xue Zhi glared at his older brother. "Let's go. I have to work the early shift tomorrow."

……

The children have officially started their summer vacation.

During this period, Yu Lian spent almost every day with her child and rarely appeared at the company.

To welcome her mother and sister, Yu Lian has been decorating her room and home for the past two days.

The three children also helped out.

During this process, Yu Lian gradually came to understand the true personalities of the children.

The second and third kids are really mischievous. When you assign them tasks, they often start fighting and bickering while doing them, and sometimes it gradually escalates into a real war. It's perfectly normal for them to have some minor injuries.

In contrast, the eldest brother, An An, would step in during the most intense moments and resolve the conflicts between his younger brothers in no time, which was quite impressive.

But most of the time, he is very silent and doesn't like to talk.

In other words, it was to give her, her biological mother, face, and that's why they talked a lot.

As for Manman, she has refused to come over and is very resistant to her biological mother's attitude.

Two days ago, my child's grandfather was discharged from the hospital and I invited them over for a meal. We just met once, and he treated her even less well than when we first met at school.

On the contrary, he was very close to Wen Xue.

It's impossible for her not to be heartbroken, but she can't force her child to be close to her; that would only push them further away.

Having not seen He Lin for a long time, Yu Lian went to the He family's house for dinner that day largely because she wanted to talk to him again, but unfortunately she didn't get to see him.

She even went to the He family home and the company to look for him, but she still couldn't see He Lin.

Judging from He Lin's attitude, he has no intention of ever having anything to do with her in this lifetime.

"Mom, someone's knocking on the door!"

Two children downstairs kept reminding me.

Yu Lian hurried downstairs, opened the door, and her gaze swept across the courtyard to the man—Xue Ci.

Cotton had been yelling at him for three minutes.

Even cotton can tell that this person is not a good person.

His initiative to visit might not necessarily be a good thing.

"Mr. Xue, what brings you here?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Yu Lian didn't want to have any interaction with him and silently refused.

"Fine, I don't want to have much to do with you, but please don't hurt He Lin anymore. Don't worry, you won't get custody of the children, whether it was before or now. You've ruined He Lin like this, and now you're back pretending nothing happened. He Lin is stupid, but I'm not."

Faced with the barrage of lectures, Yu Lian was completely bewildered.

"I admit I made mistakes in our relationship, but why do you say I ruined He Lin's life?"

Xue Ci found it amusing to see her bewildered expression. Even at this point, she was still pretending to be stupid, trying to absolve herself of any responsibility and act as if nothing had happened.

"Yu Lian, I knew before that you were heartless to abandon your husband and children, and now it seems that it is true. You treated He Lin's sincerity as a plaything and trampled on it time and time again. It's really not worth it for him."

"If anyone dares to treat me like this, I'll find a way to strangle them. I don't know why He Lin likes you, because you've made him mentally unstable and turned him into a madman."

"If word got out that the owner of the He family is mentally ill, people would laugh their heads off... Oh, I almost forgot, I came here to tell you that if you don't like He Lin, don't string him along. Please talk to him in the next couple of days and make it clear that you have no feelings for him. Don't give him any more hope!"

Xue Ci came and went in a hurry, leaving Yu Lian speechless.

"When...when did I hook up with He Lin?"

With many questions in mind, Yu Lian slowly walked home.

She couldn't believe that what Xue Ci had just said was true.

If that's really the case, how should she conduct herself, and how should she face He Lin?

She thought of one person: He Xinglan.

She would only believe this answer if she heard it from He Xinglan.

Yu Lian nervously dialed the He family's number.
