The warmth that Song Jiaren showed when she faced Wang Yifan instantly disappeared. She looked at Wang Lin coldly.
When Wang Yifan heard her voice, he said in surprise, "Sis, you're here."
"Yes." Wang Lin did not dare to look Song Jiaren in the eye and lowered her head to reply.
Wang Yifan didn't notice anything wrong with her and said, "Sis, it's great that you've asked her to accompany me. We've been talking for the whole afternoon."
There was happiness in his voice. It had been a long time since Wang Lin saw him so happy.
She looked at Song Jiaren in surprise.
Song Jiaren stood up and said to Wang Yifan, "Yifan, your sister and I have some matters to talk about. Let's go out for a chat. I'll come visit you again in the future."
Wang Yifan was stunned. He seemed to sense that something was wrong between them, but he still nodded obediently. When Song Jiaren was about to leave the room, he mustered his courage and asked, "Will you come again?"
There was a pitiful plea in his voice, like a puppy gently hooking its master's sleeve with its paw to keep her from leaving.
Song Jiaren's cold expression could no longer be maintained. She smiled gently and said, "Yes, I will definitely come again."
Quick-witted, Wang Yifan quickly said, "I believe that you will keep your word."
With that, he closed his eyes and looked as though he was asleep and would not accept any rebuttal.
Song Jiaren smiled and walked out.
Behind her, Wang Lin saw their interaction and her eyes flickered, as if she had made a decision.
When Song Jiaren heard footsteps behind her, she stopped in front of the window in the corridor. Without turning back, she asked, "Is there nothing you want to tell me?"
She heard a thud.
Song Jiaren turned around and saw Wang Lin kneeling on the ground.
Song Jiaren wanted her to get up, but Wang Lin refused. She said, "Miss, I know I can't ask for your forgiveness. I'll do whatever you want me to do."
This was something she did not expect. She did not expect Wang Lin to agree on her own before she could even threaten her. Song Jiaren asked, "What do you want?"
Wang Lin's body stiffened. Her change also made Song Jiaren understand that she didn't seek refuge for no reason. She had an ulterior motive. However, this was a good thing for her. After all, it was easier to control people who had ulterior motives.
After a long time, Wang Lin finally said, "I hope Miss can help me take care of my brother."
Not expecting this, Song Jiaren asked, "You're taking good care of him now. The money you took from Song Youyou is enough for you to pay for his medical expenses. Why do you want me to take care of him?"
Wang Lin refused to say anything else. She just shook her head and repeatedly asked her to help take care of Wang Yifan in the future.
Her abnormality puzzled Song Jiaren, but this didn't concern her. She didn't take it to heart and left the hospital with Wang Lin.

In the evening, Song Jiaren specially asked Song Meiyu to call everyone from the Song family back to have dinner together.
When Song Jiaren returned, the rest of the Song family were already home. The moment she entered, she received everyone's gaze. Song Meiyu quickly gave her a look, and Song Jiaren realized that the atmosphere wasn't right.
Wang Yaotian said, "Where did you go again? You're not home every day. Don't go out too much in the future. Otherwise, you'll be embarrassing the Song family."
Having received such a scolding as soon as she got home, Song Jiaren said coldly, "I don't know how I've embarrassed you again. Besides, do you represent the Song family?"
Every time he said that she had embarrassed him, she wondered how shameless he was. Song Jiaren mocked him inside. Luckily, she didn't say it out loud, or else Wang Yaotian would be angered to death by her.
Even Wang Yaotian's face had flushed from anger. He couldn't out-argue Song Jiaren, so he turned to Song Meiyu and said, "Look at your daughter. She's getting more and more outrageous. She even dares to talk back to me now."
Song Meiyu furrowed her brows in anger.
