The hospital was deserted.

However, an hour ago, there was a chaos here.

Lu Qingyun underwent several attempts at rescue throughout the night, but was eventually pronounced dead at 10 a.m. the next day.

Almost all the members of the Lu family came to handle the formalities and deal with the funeral affairs, and then they dispersed one after another after a busy period.

Lin Jingyao and Lu Qingyun are close friends. During their time on Wall Street, they were inseparable and overcame many difficulties together.

Lin Qingran still remembered that for a long time after Lu Qingyun passed away in the previous life, Lin Jingyao was depressed all day and lost a lot of weight.

This time, Lin Jingyao’s sadness was no less than in his previous life.

The difference is that this time Lin Qingran is by his side all the time. From the time he received the call yesterday to now, Lu Qingyun has been away for more than an hour, and Lin Qingran has been in the hospital the whole time.

Only after Lu Qingyun's affairs were dealt with did Lin Jingyao rush to the company to attend the shareholders' meeting.

When Lin Qingran was about to take the elevator down, she saw Lu Siheng at the corner.

He bent one leg slightly, leaning quietly against the wall, with his eyes slightly lowered, staring at his toes, wondering what he was thinking.

Lin Qingran looked at him from afar, and the words that Lin Jingyao had spoken to her earnestly last night came to her mind again.

"Ran Ran, just before your Uncle Lu left, he told me that the person he was most worried about was Lu Si Heng."

"Lu Siheng has just arrived at the Lu family. He is weak and alone, and has nothing to rely on."

"When your uncle Lu was here, he could still protect him, but now that he's gone, Lu Siheng's situation in the Lu family is extremely difficult."

"Dad asked you to marry Lu Siheng because he wanted to help him. If Lu Siheng can become our Lin family's son-in-law, the Lin family can be his support, and Lu Chengkang's family will not dare to bully him..."

Lin Qingran walked over and stood in front of the other person, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Siheng seemed to be in a daze. He looked up at her when he heard the voice. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, his eyes were obviously stunned for a moment.

He immediately stood up straight, as if he had been caught doing something bad, and looked at Lin Qingran seriously with his dark eyes, "Ms. Lin."

"My condolences." Lin Qingran said softly to comfort him.

"Thank you."

"I saw you several times last night, but you seemed busy, so I didn't disturb you." Lin Qingran said again.

"Miss Lin, do you have something to ask me?"

"Hmm." Lin Qingran unconsciously moved her gaze to the other person's face. Lu Siheng had a pair of standard phoenix eyes, which were long and slender, with soft and drooping corners, smooth and slightly upturned tails, very black and deep pupils, thin lips slightly pursed, and a very light lip color, giving him an abstinence-like aura.

very nice.

"Miss Lin?"

The word "Miss Lin" brought her thoughts back to reality. Lin Qingran raised the corners of her beautiful eyes, looked at him, and suddenly said:

"Lu Siheng, please marry me."

"..."

Lu Siheng was stunned for two seconds.

"What did you say?"

"I said, marry me." Lin Qingran stared at him with her dark eyes and said very seriously, "Our engagement was arranged by my father and Uncle Lu. I was against it at first, but now I agree."

Lu Siheng frowned slightly.

"Ms. Lin, marriage is not a joke."

"I'm not taking it lightly." Lin Qingran spoke frankly in a gentle tone, "I'm marrying you because I want you to use our Lin family's power to help you fight for the Lu family and gain a firm foothold in the Lu family."

Lu Siheng stared at her with his dark eyes, "You said you would help me fight for the Lu Corporation?"

"Yes, I am willing to be your tool."

Without waiting for Lu Siheng to say anything, Lin Qingran said again: "But I have a few conditions."

"What conditions?"

"First, our marriage is in name only. I have no romantic feelings for you. I will accompany you to important events as your wife, but I hope Mr. Lu will not cross the line in private. Likewise, I will not offend you."

Lu Siheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Qingran's inquiring gaze fell on his face, "Why? You can't accept it?"

After Lu Siheng looked at her for a while, he said, "This condition is not excessive. I can accept it. After all, I don't have any romantic feelings for you."

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows.

Don't you have any romantic feelings for her?

It turns out that Lu Siheng didn’t like her at this time?

In that case...then she felt relieved.

"Second, after you obtain the inheritance rights of the Lu family and no longer need me, if you want to find another woman to experience de facto marriage, our engagement can be cancelled at any time, and I will not interfere. The same goes for me."

"I understand." Lu Siheng nodded slightly, "What is the third one?"

"Third, even if our marriage is in name only, during the continuation of the marriage, both parties should respect each other, not cheat in the marriage, not commit domestic violence, and not restrict the personal freedom of the other party."

"What Ms. Lin said is all right, but I have a question."

"You said."

"What should I do if I still fail to take down Lu?"

"That's not possible."

Lin Qingran remembered it very clearly.

In the previous life, Lu Siheng became the heir of the Lu family three years later.

With her help this time, the pace will only be faster.

Therefore, the duration of this contract will not exceed three years at most, which is within her acceptable range.

Lu Siheng thought for a moment and asked again, "Why is Miss Lin willing to help me?"

"because……"

Lin Qingran thought about it and realized that in her previous life, she eventually died in his arms. That was the only warmth she felt after suffering from neglect and desolation.

She would no longer have the heart to fall in love in this life, and it was impossible for her to get married in the next few years anyway, so she might as well do him a favor.

"Because my father and Uncle Lu have a good relationship. Since we are one of our own, why not give you a hand?"

This was the only reason she could give.

Lu Siheng pursed his lips and glanced at her, "Are you so nice to everyone around you?"

Lin Qingran was stunned.

What does he mean?

Did he think she liked him?

"Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand me." Lin Qingran quickly explained, "I absolutely do not covet you, and I have no improper thoughts about you. I married you simply because I wanted to help you."

"Yes." Lu Siheng nodded, his voice flat, "I know, Miss Lin doesn't need to explain it to me specifically."

Lin Qingran looked at his calm reaction, but frowned slightly.

Obviously, this behavior just shows that he really doesn't like her and doesn't care whether she likes her or not. Isn't this what she wants? After marriage, she doesn't have to worry about Lu Siheng having any improper thoughts about her, but why does she feel weird in her heart?

Lu Siheng now seems to have no interest in her at all, so when did he fall in love with her in his previous life?

Forget it, these are not things she should think about.

What does it have to do with her whether Lu Siheng likes her or not? After all, she can't give him any response.

After Lin Qingran figured it out, she confirmed his opinion again, "So you can accept all three conditions?"

"acceptable."

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, "That couldn't be better."

"Ms. Lin can help me. I will always remember this favor."

"You're welcome. I'll be leaving first then?"

"Goodbye, Miss Lin."

"Goodbye."

Lin Qingran turned and walked towards the elevator, while Lu Siheng stood there, following her back with his eyes, a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.
