The next morning, when He Yan saw Jian Yujie again, Jian Yujie's face was no longer as lively and optimistic as before.
As soon as He Yan saw him, she asked his decision, "Have you thought about it?"
He Yan had been waiting for Jian Yujie's decision. If Jian Yujie insisted on helping Jian Yiling, then he would be forcing her into a dead end. She was his mother.
"You don't have to ask. I didn't see anything last night."
Jian Yujie's voice was filled with despair. It was like a pool of stagnant water. There was no life in it.
He made a decision, he chose to protect his mother.
However, this also meant that he would have to betray his sister.
He didn't deserve to be Yiling's brother anymore.
Jian Yujie broke down and cried the entire night.
Finally, he calmed down.
When he made this decision, he not only gave up his feelings for his sister, but also the naive, optimistic, and positive youth he used to be.
17 years old.
In the end, he was defeated by reality and profit.
He Yan looked at her son. She suddenly felt that her son had become a stranger to her.
His reaction was different from what he had been doing before.

Jian Yiling was still lying in the hospital.
Today, someone came to visit her again. They brought a large number of gifts, all of which were expensive and nourishing tonics.
However, the Jian family didn't recognize this person.
Wen Nuan saw several adult men in suits appear in Jian Yiling's ward. She was quite surprised.
A polite man dressed in a suit greeted Wen Nuan, who was standing next to Jian Yiling's bed:
"Hello, Mrs. Jian. We are Jian Yiling's friends. We heard that she was sick, so we came to visit her."
"Are you … Are you Yiling's friends?" Wen Nuan asked as she looked at the group of people with a puzzled expression.
These people didn't look like people her daughter could come into contact with at her age.
As for Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen, they seemed to be able to hang out with Jian Yiling.
However, these people didn't seem like people that Jian Yiling would interact with at all.
"Yes, we're friends," Jian Yiling replied. She confirmed their identities.
"Yiling, they …"
When Wen Nuan saw that her daughter was acquainted with several middle-aged men, she couldn't help but worry.
"Mrs. Jian, please rest assured that we are not bad people. If we were bad people, we wouldn't be here in front of you."
A middle-aged man explained to Wen Nuan.
If he was a swindler, he wouldn't have appeared in front of his family so openly.
Although his words made sense, Wen Nuan still couldn't let down her guard.
Now that they were right in front of her, she didn't mind looking at them.
"Yiling only has a normal fever. Thank you for coming to visit her."
Wen Nuan still adhered to the etiquette of hospitality and greeted them.
"Mrs. Jian, there's no need to be so polite. We're just here to have a few words with Jian Yiling."
The middle-aged man looked very cultured. He approached Jian Yiling and said to her:
"My husband asked me to pass on a message to you. He wants you to take good care of yourself. Your health is more important than anything else."
There was a deal between Jian Yiling and them. However, Jian Yiling was sick.
What he meant was for Jian Yiling not to worry. The other party knew that she was sick and wouldn't rush her.
"Thank you," Jian Yiling replied.
As of now, Jian Yiling didn't dare to torture her body. Even if she didn't want to postpone her work, she still had to postpone it.
"In addition, the old man also gave you an extra gift. Please check it later."
