"Cheng Yan is injured. Why aren't you at the hospital taking care of him? What are you doing back here?"

Jian He glanced at her elderly father, who was worried sick about her, and said, "He has a caregiver, so I don't need to watch over him 24 hours a day."

"But you, my old man, did you slack off during your exercise today?"

Jian Qingshan glanced at Jian He with displeasure.

Being a father is already very difficult for him. In order to spend more time with his daughter and grandson, he drags his ailing body to exercise hard, hoping to recover as soon as possible.

I never expected that this heartless little brat would suspect me of slacking off.

"Mind your own business. I'm asking about you and Cheng Yan."

After glancing at Jian He, Jian Qingshan brought up Cheng Yan again.

Jian He thought for a moment and replied, "Dad, as for Cheng Yan and me, we can only let nature take its course. If there is no fate between Cheng Yan and me, I can only let go."

Jian He's words plunged Jian Qingshan into silence.

After all, Cheng Yan has a noble status, and even if he and Jian He are very much in love, there are some things that he and Jian He cannot solve on their own.

After chatting with Jian Qingshan for a while, Jian He took Ruibao upstairs to rest.

She thought tonight would be a peaceful night, but unexpectedly, around midnight, she received a message from Wu Hua on her phone inviting her to meet.

Wu Hua said, "Jian He, I have a secret about Rui Bao to tell you. I will wait for you in the suburbs of Beijing at one o'clock in the morning. If you come out, I will tell you the secret. If you don't come, you will never know the truth from me."

Wu Hua's words made Jian He fall into deep thought.

In her previous life, just as she was about to jump off a building while holding Ruibao's body, she received a message from Wu Hua on her phone.

She remembered clearly that Wu Hua said it was Yin Muqiao who sold her virginity, and that Ruibao was a bastard.

If this line of reasoning continues, Wu Hua must know who Yin Muqiao sold her virginity to.

Jian He really wants to find Rui Bao's biological father.

After all, Ruibao had leukemia in his previous life.

If Ruibao is still unable to escape this illness in this life, then finding his biological father would be a guarantee for Ruibao.

Jian He held her phone, lost in thought...

Meanwhile, Cheng Yan was also under pressure from Cheng Gang and the executives around him.

Cheng Gang hesitated before discussing it with Cheng Yan.

"Ayan, Tu Qing was seriously injured and lost an arm while saving you. What do you think we should do about her?"

Cheng Yan was not a heartless person. He clearly remembered how brave Tu Qing was in protecting him when the thugs attacked.

He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will treat her like my own sister from now on."

Cheng Yan's answer made the man in the executive jacket standing behind Cheng Gang frown slightly.

Clearly, he was not satisfied with Cheng Yan's answer.

“Ayan, you know how Tu Qing has felt about you all these years. She doesn’t want to be your sister.” Cheng Gang simply explained it to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan looked troubled: "If she doesn't want to be a younger sister, what does she want to be? Or rather, what do you want her to be as me?"

Cheng Gang knew Cheng Yan's temperament well. His son was not the kind of person who could be easily manipulated. He had been a powerful figure in politics for many years and had handled many things, but he was helpless when it came to his son.

Because when his son doesn't want to talk to him, he can really ignore him.

“Ayan…” Cheng Gang didn’t want to force Cheng Yan, but the situation was not easy to resolve.

“Ayan, there are some things your dad can’t tell you. How about Uncle Li tells you?” The man in the executive jacket following behind Cheng Gang finally spoke up, unable to contain himself any longer.

"Uncle Li, please speak."

Cheng Yan was no longer very happy, but his good upbringing still made him maintain the respect he deserved for his elders.

“Ayan, your father, several comrades and I have discussed this carefully and we all agree that it would be safer for you to marry Tu Qing.”

"After all, when danger comes, Tu Qing is willing to risk her life for you and others. We already owe the Tu family too much. Tu Qing has already lost an arm, and we can't let this girl suffer any more injustice."

What Uncle Li said already raises suspicions of moral blackmail.

Cheng Yan was unhappy.

He raised his chin and said to Uncle Li, "But I already have a girlfriend, and we love each other very much and have a great relationship!"

"If you make me marry Tu Qing, what about my girlfriend?"

Cheng Gang hesitated and moved his lips slightly after hearing Cheng Yan's words.

Uncle Li casually said, "She's just a girlfriend. We can just break up with her. Whatever compensation she wants, we'll give her a little."

“Ayan, you know that for a family like ours, we can’t afford to owe anyone a favor. Tu Qing is the one who saved your life.”

Li Shu's words had clearly aroused Cheng Yan's resentment.

With a cold expression, he said to Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, if I remember correctly, Uncle Tu saved your life back then. But after Uncle Tu passed away, why did you marry the woman you liked instead of marrying Uncle Tu's widow so that his child could have a happy family?"

Cheng Yan's words caused Uncle Li's expression to change drastically.

"That matter is different from this one..."

Uncle Li stammered, trying to come up with an excuse.

"How are they different? Aren't they both about repaying a debt of gratitude?" Cheng Yan pressed on relentlessly.

"Your Uncle Cheng died for the country, not for me personally. I have great respect for your Uncle Tu. How could he do such a thing?"

Uncle Li's words sounded very reasonable.

But in Cheng Yan's view, it was nothing but sophistry.

Cheng Yan chuckled and said, "Why should I do something that even Uncle Li can't do?"

"Back then, Uncle Tu sacrificed himself for the country. Today, I'm so badly injured, isn't that also for the country?"

"As Tu Qing's direct supervisor, when I was in danger, she protected me. Wasn't that also for the sake of the country?"

"We're both doing this for the country, so why should I be forced to marry her just because she lost an arm?"

"Should I have died in this attack so I wouldn't have to repay this debt of gratitude?"

Cheng Yan's words left Cheng Gang and Uncle Li speechless. They never expected Cheng Yan to say something like that.

Uncle Li, in particular, had a face as black as mud, looking terribly ugly.
