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

This question came both suddenly and abruptly. Because no matter the circumstances, their relationship never seemed suitable for discussing this kind of topic.

"What's wrong? Did someone outside say something that's making things difficult for you?"

As roommates, the two never discussed these things, even when they were alone in the room late at night. Their room was clearly divided, and they never crossed boundaries. The path their parents hoped for never materialized between them. For the past two years, the Yu family had treated He Lin as their son-in-law, but the two didn't have a real relationship; instead, they grew more and more like friends.

"If you insist on giving me an answer, then I need to think it over carefully before telling you."

Yu Lian seemed to be avoiding the question, but she answered as soon as she turned around: "I don't know. If the other person is really my type and has a good character, I might actually fall for them. But good looks can't put food on the table, and not everyone can catch my eye."

He Lin nodded, emphasizing, "I agree. These are all superficial; what matters is inner qualities and character."

Unable to figure out why He Lin was so agitated, Yu Lian kept quiet and observed him, but couldn't discern anything noteworthy. He Lin seemed like a completely different person these past two days.

"He Lin, why have you suddenly changed? What's the reason?"

Yu Lian felt she had asked a very direct question, and the answer would simply be "yes" or "no." She didn't notice the excitement deep inside her, but He Lin didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oh, thank you so much for taking care of us during this time..."

The disappointing answer slipped out, and Yu Lian's expression changed noticeably.

"Oh, I see. You don't need to be so polite. You don't need to send any more."

She turned away to attend to her own business, saying nothing more. He Lin couldn't go upstairs and had been sleeping downstairs for the past two days. Sensing something was amiss, he turned and went into his room. At the same time, someone observing from the shadows whispered a reprimand.

"He Lin, I heard from your superiors that you received another commendation a couple of days ago?"

At the dinner table, Yu Jinbu took the initiative to ask about her son-in-law's work. He Lin almost never mentioned work; Yu Jinbu was the one who told the family about his achievements at work.

"Oh, brother-in-law must have received a bonus, right? Give me some pocket money." Yu Xin was not polite at all, asking for money without hesitation, treating He Lin like family. He Lin usually gave her money privately, giving one to each of his two sisters.

"Okay, I'll give it to you in a bit."

"Don't spoil her. She gets cocky as soon as she gets a little money. Didn't we just give her some last week?" Wang Meixia said.

Yu Xin, seeing the stumbling block on her path to earning pocket money, complained, "My brother-in-law is the most generous person in the family! Mom, cutting off his source of income is like murdering his parents!"

"Alright, what nonsense are you talking about? Your parents are sitting here properly. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sew your mouth shut." Yu Jinbu spoke up, ending the conversation.

After dinner, Yu Lian and her sister sat on the sofa and chatted.

"Sis, my brother-in-law said he'd give me a hundred yuan for pocket money this morning and noon, and then he went back on his word." Yu Xin looked at her sister in disbelief: "Give you a hundred yuan? Are you crazy?"

"Of course not. It's true. I didn't believe it at first either, but then I asked my brother-in-law many times. He said he would give me and Lanlan a bonus of 100 yuan each, saying that our birthdays are close together and that we can choose our own birthday gifts."

Yu Xin spoke with great detail, even recounting the specifics. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether she was making it up or He Lin was joking. An ordinary worker couldn't save even a hundred yuan a year, yet He Lin gave away two hundred. Was this some kind of ordinary act of merit?

It was late at night, and everyone was asleep. Yu Lian knocked on the door: "It's me, may I come in?"

"The door wasn't locked."

Yu Lian cautiously entered the room and closed the door. "Hey? Yu Xin said at noon you told her you'd give her and Lanlan 100 yuan each so they could buy their own gifts. Is that true, or did she make it up?"

He Lin hesitated for two seconds: "Really. They're not children anymore. This year is different; they should be able to express themselves freely without pressure."

"That's too much. I'll give her twenty yuan at most. Our family isn't bad off, but my parents would scold us if they found out."

He Lin's mind was preoccupied with other things, and he didn't know what to do. Yu Xin didn't even notice anything amiss—it really was exactly the same. He didn't know how long this facade of peace could last.

As Yu Lian was about to leave, he called her back: "I have something to tell you."

Seeing his serious expression, Yu Lian was somewhat flustered: "What is it? Tell me."

"I know you might not believe it, but the book, the flowers, and the person who promised Yu Xin pocket money were not me."

Yu Lian nodded gently: "It wasn't you. I was wondering why you've changed... Wait, didn't Yu Xin say you personally promised it?"

This was precisely the key point He Lin wanted to make: "Well, the other person looks just like me, and knows everyone around me. Think about it, I didn't know about your hidden preferences."

Shocked, Yu Lian felt a pang of disappointment: "I knew something was off. Oh right, I remember the day we had guests, the neighbor said you were loitering around the door, but I remember you were at work having a meeting."

The other party actually dared to come to the compound in such a blatant manner.

"If it were anyone else, I would definitely have a way to deal with them. But he's like another version of me, a more powerful version of me, and I can't get a single clue out of him right now."

Even a young and spirited man can encounter problems that make him frown. Yu Lian sat beside him: "It's okay, it's not your fault, it's the other person's fault. Don't overthink it. This whole thing came out of nowhere, don't put pressure on yourself by paying for someone else's mistake."

"Okay, thank you."

"No need to thank me. All I know right now is that he looks just like you. Nothing else. He's so elusive that nobody recognizes him, and even if they did, they'd all think it was you..."

He Lin recounted the basic information from the past few days, and the two talked all night. Having never encountered anything like this before, Yu Lian became increasingly engrossed in listening, staying up all night to summarize the known information and possible solutions on dozens of sheets of paper.

"Sister, where did you come from?" Yu Lian looked exhausted after staying up all night, still wearing her pajamas.

"Ah... I need to discuss something with him."

"Oh, I see. I understand. Hurry up and wash your face and eat breakfast."

For her own 100 yuan, Yu Xin got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, setting out the bowls and chopsticks. She wanted to make a good impression on her parents and win back her brother-in-law's heart so she could secretly get the huge sum of money.
