She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Anyway, as long as they are thick-skinned and can get through this period, everything will be easier to handle later.

"But I feel like there's more to this arrangement than meets the eye," Bo Ye said, somewhat uneasy.

Lin Qingran thought for a moment, asked Bo Ye for two sheets of paper, silently wrote something down, and then handed them to Bo Ye.

"Find an opportunity to deliver it to Zhou Lan; she will come to see me."

Susukino glanced at what was written on the two pieces of paper and gasped.

"This is too dangerous. Zhou Lan won't let you get away with this."

"Whether she'll let me go or not depends on what I can offer her," Lin Qingran said confidently.

"Go deliver it, and we'll know the result."

Susukino left in a hurry, while at the same time, on another floor of the same building, a VIP ward was bustling with activity.

Old Master Fu had just regained consciousness when he heard the news outside, and he was so angry that he smashed cups and bowls in the ward.

Just as Fu Xiuheng arrived, a teacup was thrown right in his direction.

He didn't have time to dodge and was cut on the face by the broken rim of the cup.

"You wretched child!" When Old Master Fu saw that the person who came was Fu Xiuheng, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Have I not told you that Lin Yuyan is no good? But you're like you're bewitched, hopelessly in love with her, and you still can't stop even after you're married! Now you want to marry her again, you've really disgraced the Fu family!"

Fu Xiuheng rushed over after receiving the news; he himself was unaware that he was getting married.

Seeing Old Master Fu's attitude now, Fu Xiuheng immediately realized what was going on.

"It was made by my mother."

Old Master Fu gave a cold laugh and turned to sit on the edge of the bed.

"What's the difference between what you did and what your mother did? The message has already been sent out, can you deny it now? Fu Xiuheng, I carefully nurtured you into a capable person, not so that you would be blinded by lust and create these kinds of scandalous news!"

Grandpa Fu was so angry that he pounded the floor with his cane and berated Fu Xiuheng.

"Did Lin Yuyan save your life? Why do you insist on getting entangled with her!"

Fu Xiuheng lowered his head and remained silent.

He truly loved Lin Yuyan back then, and the reason he disliked Lin Qingran was because of his past feelings for Lin Yuyan.

But ever since that day, everything has changed.

Therefore, he has never proposed to marry Lin Yuyan over the years. Even now, he doesn't know whether the reason he continues to be entangled with Lin Yuyan is because of their past feelings or something else.

“I will talk to the Lin family,” Fu Xiuheng said.

"Come back!" the old man shouted sternly, stopping Fu Xiuheng who was trying to leave.

"There's no escaping it now. You're going to the Lin family, but you can't break off the engagement."

"grandfather?"

Old Master Fu leaned wearily against the bedside, his hand supporting his forehead.

“I’ve painstakingly built the Fu Group my whole life, and I never imagined it would be ruined by your messy affairs. Go tell them that they can marry into our wealthy family, but they have no chance of getting any benefits from us.”

After saying that, the old man waved his hand and sent Fu Xiuheng out.

Fu Xiuheng left the hospital somewhat absentmindedly and went to the Lin family's house.

At this moment, Lin Yuyan learned that the two were getting married and was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

She immediately contacted her personal stylist and asked him to collect the latest wedding dresses of the season. She was even already planning who to send wedding invitations to.

Zhou Lan sat silently on the sofa, a strange light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yuyan.

When Fu Xiuheng arrived, Lin Yuyan was overjoyed and quickly went up to him, taking his arm.

"Brother Xiuheng, we're finally getting married!" Lin Yuyan's face was flushed, and her voice was filled with excitement.

However, Fu Xiuheng's face showed no joy, and gradually Lin Yuyan's smile also disappeared.

She looked at Fu Xiuheng with a puzzled expression. "Brother Xiuheng, what's wrong?"

The next second, Fu Xiuheng pulled his arm out of Lin Qingran's hand.

Lin Yuyan froze on the spot. If she had previously thought that Fu Xiuheng was wavering because of Jiang Jiuge's appearance, she was now completely certain that Fu Xiuheng did not want to see her and even hated her.

What she found most unacceptable was that these things had actually been gradually showing signs for a long time, but she had been deceiving herself all along.

"Brother Xiuheng!" Lin Yuyan exclaimed anxiously, stepping forward and looking at Fu Xiuheng with red eyes.

Fu Xiuheng then walked towards Zhou Lan and said in a somewhat low voice.

"Auntie's methods are truly astonishing."

Zhou Lan slowly curled the corners of her lips, "Xiuheng, whether you marry Qingran or Yuyan, you still have to call me Mom, after all, they are both my daughters. Now you've suddenly changed your address, which I didn't quite understand at the time."

Fu Xiuheng scoffed, "Didn't your aunt always disapprove of Lin Qingran as her daughter? Why is she suddenly so loving towards her, even going so far as to hold a grand funeral for her?"

Zhou Lan's expression was a little stiff, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Xiu Heng, have you forgotten how your brother was kicked out of the Fu family and how you became the heir to the Fu Group?"

Fu Xiuheng clenched his fists, his face filled with anger.

He said with a sneer, "Is this the reason you intend to use to threaten me for the rest of my life, Auntie?"

Zhou Lan's expression remained calm, maintaining her dignified and composed smile.

"Xiuheng, you're still young. You can only truly understand things after experiencing them, right? Take my advice and don't act impulsively. Besides, you and Yuyan are childhood sweethearts and have a foundation of affection. Marrying Yuyan will only bring you more benefits than harm."

Fu Xiuheng was amused and said, "Fine, I can marry her. But Aunt, marriage doesn't mean that the interests of both families have to be tied together. Since you've made this choice, please don't regret it later."

Zhou Lan straightened up slightly, her gaze towards Fu Xiuheng clearly filled with dissatisfaction.

But soon, Zhou Lan's expression relaxed.

She nodded slightly. "Of course I won't regret it."

Fu Xiuheng turned and left.

"Brother Xiuheng!" Lin Yuyan hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Fu Xiuheng's hand.

"Brother Xiuheng, are you angry with me? Don't you like me anymore? Have you forgotten that what you once longed for most was to marry me?"

Fu Xiuheng slowly pried Lin Yuyan's fingers off his body and said, word by word.

"Lin Yuyan, I can marry you, but there are no feelings left between us."
