Glancing at Brother Lin, Gao Jiakai noticed that his eyes were as dark as an abyss, even more ferocious than his sister-in-law's. He immediately swallowed hard.
Brother Lin was his savior, his good friend, his elder brother, and his superior. Of course, he would help Brother Lin even at the cost of his life. He then said, risking public opinion, "No! You take care of Brother Lin first, and then I'll give it to you."
Jiang Yimei was furious: "Are you trying to rebel?"
Gao Jiakai was sweating profusely, as if facing a formidable enemy: "No... I wouldn't dare, I just... I don't want to disturb your and Brother Lin's wonderful time."
This situation could be attributed to either being threatened by Lin Congzhi or to wild speculation and overconfidence.
Jiang Yimei felt that Gao Jiakai's situation was probably the latter, after all, he had just taken it upon himself to call her "sister-in-law" and asked her to help Lin Congzhi change his clothes.
With this realization, she could reply: "Pah! What wonderful times could he and I possibly have? It's all fake. Don't overthink it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Congzhi, who was on the bed, frowned and said, "Girl, that's not what you said just now."
This statement exposed Lin Congzhi's true colors. Jiang Yimei immediately realized what was going on, stared at Gao Jiakai, and saw that Gao Jiakai's eyes were darting around, and he was really afraid of Lin Congzhi. In an instant, she knew what roles the two of them were playing.
"Lin Congzhi, don't even think about teaming up with him to get back at me. I won't let your schemes succeed."
It's quite embarrassing when your scheme is exposed.
However, Lin Congzhi would not admit it: "What conspiracy? I have only just woken up."
"Keep pretending!" Jiang Yimei curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Don't think I don't know anything. It's all your threats and oppression."
Lin Congzhi gave an innocent look: "How could I, a patient lying in bed receiving an IV drip, possibly have the ability to threaten and oppress others? You must be joking."
Jiang Yimei retorted, "You demon, you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve. You can kill someone with just a glance."
Lin Congzhi asked in confusion, "Really? Then why didn't I kill you?"
Jiang Yimei explained, "That's because I have a strong immune system and I'm fearless!"
Lin Congzhi nodded in agreement: "They are indeed very strong, so strong that I don't even know how to attack them."
Jiang Yimei's lips curled into a smile: "You admit it now?"
Realizing he had revealed something, Lin Congzhi immediately reverted to his previous innocent and aggrieved demeanor: "Girl, I really didn't, you have to believe me."
"Stop pretending, it's annoying to look at!"
How can you believe what someone whose expression changes so quickly can say?
With a shout, Jiang Yimei released Lin Congzhi's hand and strode away.
"Hey! Hey!"
Lin Congzhi tried his best to raise his hand and shout, attempting to stop and grab Jiang Yimei, but he was too weak to exert any strength and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yimei left.
Seeing his sister-in-law's dark face as she stormed toward him, Gao Jiakai, like a frightened mouse, immediately leaned against the doorway and stood motionless.
Jiang Yimei glared at him as she approached, then forcefully snatched the documents from his hand and strode out of the room.
Following his sister-in-law's retreating figure, Gao Jiakai, who had been tense all over, finally breathed a sigh of relief after she entered the study.
If his return causes Brother Lin and Sister-in-law Lin to separate, then he will be a sinner for all time.
Seeing that he had survived the ordeal, Lin Congzhi, lying on the bed, asked softly, "Hey, how are you?"
