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

She looked expectantly towards the door. After a long while, Yu Lian saw an unexpected person.

She never imagined in her life that He Lin and Li Yanshen would stand together so calmly, with almost identical expressions on their faces, so peaceful. The murderous aura that He Lin used to undisguised when facing Li Yanshen had now turned into indifference.

Yu Lian had prepared bowls and chopsticks for Li Yanshen well in advance. He greeted her, sat down, and quickly blended into the atmosphere.

"I guessed everyone, but I never expected you to pick up Li Yanshen. But why is he here?"

"I invited him because I knew you were treating everyone today."

He Lin's words once again overturned Yu Lian's basic understanding of him.

"You invited him? Did I hear that right?"

"Of course not."

He Lin said in a low voice, "I used to hate this person, but now I'm grateful to him. Without his behind-the-scenes machinations, our relationship wouldn't have gotten so much better, right?"

So that's why. Yu Lian thought He Lin had finally returned to his true self and let go.

"Heh, keep acting up, just eat your food."

Yu Lian, somewhat annoyed, placed a piece of pork rib on his plate and began to eat seriously. She had only eaten a little at the first two meals today, but now that she was home, her appetite was huge. She had been under immense pressure lately, not eating or sleeping well. The new company's successful opening was a major step forward; from now on, she could proceed steadily and surely.

After lunch, Yu Lian and her two assistants returned to the company, leaving the rest of the staff to her parents' arrangements. It wouldn't make sense for the boss to be absent on the first day of business. However, the three of them didn't even manage to enter the company premises.

Yu Lian looked at the large group of people standing at the door: "Xiao Xu, you go back first and explain the work to Bai Yun. Xu Meng, go to the logistics department and check today's accounts."

"Boss—"

"Sister Nian—"

The two spoke at the same time, and Yu Lian raised her hand to let them leave.

"Boss Rick came all this way to see me with such fanfare; I never imagined I had that much influence!"

"Ms. Yu, you really underestimate yourself. There are very few people in the world who could persuade Ms. Samuel to come out of retirement and even appear on a wildly popular show to support you. Don't you think you're being too modest?"

Yu Lian knew that the other party's arrival was definitely not a good thing. By analyzing his expression and posture, she guessed that he had a trump card he could use to confront her. Now, all she had to do was reveal that card and see if it would affect her.

"Mr. Rick must be tired after traveling all this way. How about we move to a restaurant to talk? There's a nice restaurant right across from our company."

"Then I'll trouble Ms. Yu to lead the way."

Yu Lian forced a smile and walked across the street. They sat facing each other in the window seats.

"Mr. Rick, please speak frankly. I don't think you're here in Cloud City for sightseeing."

"Hmph...Ms. Yu seems quite busy. A new company has opened, and it's steadily growing. I've also heard from others that you're preparing to aggressively expand into overseas markets. But do you know that in your country there's a saying: 'First come, first served'?"

Yu Lian looked at the self-important man in front of her and teased, "Mr. Rick, you don't even need to carry a passport when you go out; everyone knows you're from the US, right?"

"Of course, our company is renowned worldwide. You and I are incomparable."

Yu Lian waved her hand: "I mean, your arrogant and conceited manner is exactly the same as your country's image in politics. You're obviously related by blood."

Sensing the other party's gritted teeth, Yu Lian continued, "If Mr. Rick has any trump cards, he should reveal them sooner rather than later. As the boss of Ruihui, bringing people to our company gate makes people think it's your country's mafia causing trouble."

They accurately pinpointed Rick's sore spots and punctured them, making Rick feel quite uneasy from the start.

"Ms. Yu is a very good actress; no wonder so many people support you. But when you ruthlessly brought crisis to our company, did you ever consider whether you were clean yourself?"

Hearing this, Yu Lian breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh dear, Mr. Rick, you really scared me to death. I thought you came to our company all this time to smash things, but it turns out it was just this. Alright, the tea is on me today. If Mr. Rick would like to stay in Yuncheng for a couple of days, I'll cover all your travel expenses. On behalf of the people of Yuncheng, I welcome you. Of course, if you could grant us an interview with our local media, that would be extremely kind of you..."

Yu Lian's nonchalant attitude and even her attempt to use his fame to promote her hometown made Rick realize that he had met his match—she was more than just someone who looked young and easy to deal with.

"Is it good to have a powerful backer? I know you have a powerful husband. Even a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake. I hope you and your husband can understand this principle."

Originally, she didn't want to give outsiders a hard time, but these two sentences undoubtedly provoked Yu Lian.

"Mr. Rick, I don't know what makes you think my husband was involved, or do you think I'm not a match for you just because I'm a woman? If that's the case, then from now on I won't leave you any way out."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the two of them to hear. The lingering sound of the bell at the door still echoed, but she was gone. Yu Lian was a little angry, but she couldn't take back what she had said or done. It was a pity she hadn't found out what the other person was up to.

Back at the company, after finishing her work, Yu Lian learned from Xiao Xu about Rick's whereabouts—they hadn't left, but instead went to find He Lin and went directly to her house.

Suddenly, she realized that her earlier "smiling greeting" had been a mistake. This person was just as she had judged—arrogant and conceited, probably born at the top of a tower, never having encountered setbacks. Even now, recognizing his own shortcomings, he remained haughty and unwilling to step down from his pedestal.

As Yu Lian thought of this, her body relaxed—her opponent was actually not that scary.

"Boss, they said they've left. They spoke with Boss He for less than ten minutes, and then they took their people to the airport. And it doesn't seem like they're faking it; it should be for real."

Yu Lian couldn't figure out what He Lin had said to this person that made him leave without hesitation for even a second.

"Okay, I think it's about time. I'll leave half an hour early today. Just a heads-up, everyone, starting tomorrow you need to get back into normal work mode."

"Yes, boss. I'll go right now."

After Xiao Xu left, Yu Lian packed her things and left work early. Her employees would greet her politely, and Yu Lian would respond to each one.

"The boss is so beautiful."

"I think so too, like those celebrities in magazines."

"Don't talk about the boss behind his back," Xu Meng suddenly appeared, interrupting the two.

One of them naturally replied, "We were praising the boss for being handsome, not saying anything bad about him."

"I understood. Remember this rule for work from now on: Don't talk about the boss."

"Okay, Assistant Xu, we'll head home now."

Xiao Xu witnessed the whole process. After the two employees left, she pulled Xu Meng over.

"Xu Meng, um... I have to go back to Xiangshi. I'll leave that pile on the table to you."

"Okay, Sweetie, you can rest assured. But what are you going to Xiang City for? Wasn't everything arranged there beforehand?"

Xu Tian looked worried: "I don't know yet, but it's related to the person who just came. Remember to strengthen the company's security during this period, and strictly check everyone entering and leaving."

"Okay, I'll leave work a little later today to get this sorted out."
