Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

The threat in Xie Jingyao's tone was self-evident.

She either has to divorce Lin Tinghan, or wait for the thing she least wants to mention to be made public.

Si Nian subconsciously thought of Feng He.

Feng He used to care a lot about her image. Even when she went out to buy groceries or take out the trash, she would change her clothes and groom herself before leaving the house.

Now she has more wrinkles around her eyes, and her skin has become dull and rough. Her favorite long hair was also cut into a short bob five years ago.

How many more years can Feng He endure in prison?

Si Nian felt that ten years was too long for Feng He.

If it were another year, it would be difficult to sustain.

Xie Jingyao got up and left Si Nian's house.

After closing the door, Si Nian looked at the empty house again and felt a strange emptiness in her heart.

She stood there for a long time before finally moving.

When she returned to the bathroom, she saw that Zhou Huai's toiletries, which had been on the sink, had been carelessly thrown into the trash can by Xie Jingyao.

Fortunately, the trash bags in the trash can were newly replaced; the trash hadn't been thrown away yet.

Si Nian picked up the items from the trash can and put them back in their proper place.

Xie Jingyao has always been a person with a strong sense of self.

He has his own set of logic, and you have to follow his logic to get things going.

Si Nian no longer has the patience or tolerance she had five years ago.

All she wants now is to stay far away from Lin Tinghan and Xie Jingyao.

……

In the VIP ward, Lin Tinghan had just woken up when she received a call from a staff member of Yanshanting.

"Mr. Lin, the housekeeping staff found a men's cufflink in your room this morning. Is it yours?"

Lin Tinghan frowned. "Where did you find it?"

"In room 1306, on the sink in the bathroom."

Lin Tinghan asked, "Wasn't your bathroom door broken? Is it fixed?"

The other party paused for a moment: "We haven't received any repair requests. I'll have a staff member go up and check right away..."

Lin Tinghan recalled how Si Nian hurriedly stopped him from going into the bathroom last night.

Is someone in the bathroom?

And he was a man.

Lin Tinghan immediately dismissed this idea.

How could Si Nian possibly be hiding someone in the room?

Even if she were incredibly audacious, she couldn't actually do anything under his nose.

Moreover, they stayed in the room for quite some time.

Moreover, he believed that Si Nian wouldn't really do anything to betray him.

After so many years together, he still trusted Si Nian, and he knew that Si Nian loved him.

Lin Tinghan said to the people from Yan Shanting's side, "Bring me the cufflinks, I want to take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tinghan rubbed his temples.

He wanted to call Si Nian to ask what time she got home last night.

But vaguely, he remembered that he had been woken up by Si Nian's phone call in his sleep.

At that time, Si Nian seemed to be in a hurry, asking him to send someone to investigate something.

Lin Tinghan thought about it carefully for a while before she remembered that Si Nian had said someone knocked on the door at night to scare her.

Jingheyuan has tight security and has many nannies.

How could a bad guy possibly knock on the door and scare Si Nian?

Although Lin Tinghan was confident in the security at Jingheyuan, she still made a phone call to the night shift nanny there.

Did anyone knock on the door last night?

"No, sir."

After receiving a negative answer from the nanny.

Lin Tinghan thought to himself that Si Nian was indeed overthinking things. She was probably having a nightmare and was confused when she called him. What she said was probably just sleep talking.

He's such a grown man, yet he still manages to scare himself.

Lin Tinghan couldn't help but smile.

……

Si Nian received Lin Tinghan's call at noon.

During the phone call, Lin Tinghan made no mention of sending someone to her place to investigate whether someone was playing a prank.

Instead, after asking Si Nian a few questions about when she left Yanshanting yesterday, he said to her, "Come to the hospital today when you have some free time."

"Do you want me to apologize to Chen Bitong and her son?" Si Nian sneered.

Lin Tinghan frowned. "No need to be so serious. Just buy Hengheng some toys, come over and coax him so he won't hold a grudge against you."

"Okay, I'll go over there."

After leaving Yunjin Mansion, Si Nian went to a supermarket downstairs and bought a remote-controlled toy car.

As long as Lin Tinghan is willing to pull strings, Feng He can be released on medical parole.

She would even kneel down and apologize to Lin Ziheng.

However, to Si Nian's surprise, when she arrived at the hospital's VIP ward...

They discovered that only Hengheng was asleep in bed.

Lin Tinghan and Chen Bitong were not seen in the ward.

Si Nian didn't rush into the ward, but instead wandered around outside.

She didn't want to be alone in a room with Lin Ziheng; if something else went wrong, she would be the one to take the blame.

Just as I reached the end of the corridor, I vaguely heard a somewhat familiar female voice coming from a corner.

Si Nian stopped in her tracks.

She recognized the person blocking the stairwell door as the nanny who had been taking care of Hengheng at Jingheyuan.

It was the same nanny who had insisted to Lin Tinghan that Si Nian hadn't told her to pay attention to Lin Ziheng, nor had she noticed the allergic reaction and taken the child to the hospital in time.

The nanny appears to be making a phone call.

She promised, "Don't worry, I've always kept my mouth shut and won't give anyone a chance to get close to the young master."

"Seeing how much the young master cares for the young master, your aunt is truly happy for you. Bitong, if you work harder, try to become Mrs. Lin, then your aunt's family can rise to prominence with you."

Si Nian held up her phone and filmed what the nanny was saying from the other side of the stairwell door.

Finally, the nanny hung up the phone with a smile on her face and walked out of the stairwell humming a tune.

Then they saw Si Nian standing there.

A hint of guilt flashed in the nanny's eyes.

"Young Madam...why did you suddenly come here?" the nanny asked.

Si Nian spoke slowly and deliberately: "Instead of taking care of Lin Ziheng in your room, you're here slacking off?"

The nanny breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "No, I wasn't slacking off. I just came out to buy food for the young master."

"Then why aren't you going yet?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right now." The nanny quickly walked away.

Si Nian gripped her phone tightly. This nanny had a close relationship with Chen Bitong; she was actually Chen Bitong's aunt!

She sent the video she had taken directly to Lin Tinghan.

Just as she was looking down at her phone and walking towards the ward.

A voice suddenly rang out from not far away, calling out to her.

"Sister-in-law."

Si Nian paused, looked up and saw a tall man dressed in white casual clothes looking at her from the door of the ward.

Lin Yufeng's expression was naturally cold and stern, and his deep eyes seemed to remain completely unmoved.

"Big brother, you're back." Si Nian stopped and greeted him politely.

Lin Yufeng is the eldest son of the Lin family. In recent years, he has only returned to China occasionally in order to expand the Lin family's overseas business.

In Si Nian's memory, Lin Yufeng had always been cold and aloof, and she was subconsciously a little afraid of him.

"I'm here to talk to you about your mother," Lin Yufeng said in a cold voice, with a businesslike distance.

Si Nian's heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought subconsciously welled up inside her.
