Han Yuan’s breathing was steady as if she were sleeping soundly. Lin Yu’s lips curled up slightly as she said, “I know you’re awake, but no matter. You can close your eyes, but you can’t close your ears! Your son worked hard at sowing his seed yesterday, so I won’t be surprised if I get pregnant with the Xi family’s child. Are you totally disgusted?”
She continued, “Hehehe, but I’m happy. I have a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card as long as I get pregnant with the Xi family’s child. You can’t do anything, even if you’re awake and can speak! You wouldn’t want to kill the Xi family’s child, right?”
Han Yuan’s eyes and lips trembled slightly. Lin Yu noticed but didn’t care at all. She laughed gloatingly until tears rolled down her cheeks. She wiped her tears, ceased her laughter, and remarked, “You hate me to the bone, don’t you? But it doesn’t matter; I don’t care. I hate you guys, too! You heard Xi Cheng’s sweet talk yesterday, didn’t you? Do you think your son is a lovestruck fool? Hehe, well, he’s not! Do you know who he was fooling around with before he came here? It’s that Gu Man who you chased out!”
Lin Yu took a deep breath and straightened up. Her tone was cold as she uttered, “I accepted the fact that he’s infatuated with Fang Xi, but I didn’t expect he would even take a fancy to a b*tch like Gu Man. He really will sleep with anyone! Can you believe it? That’s the man I’ve decided to rely on for life since I was a kid. You must think you’re blind to pick me as a daughter-in-law, right? But so am I! I’m also blind for choosing a man like that as a husband! My life was so easily ruined by him!”
Lin Yu covered her mouth and sobbed softly. “The Xi family owes me! Xi Cheng owes me, and you owe me! You all owe me! So, you guys have to compensate me! Compensate me with your entire Xi family!”
She reached out and placed her hand on her belly. “I don’t like children,” she murmured. “But if this child can save my life, I’ll keep them. After all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”
Lin Yu’s gaze fell back to Han Yuan. She reached out to pat Han Yuan’s slightly swollen face and said, “I’m warning you one last time. Don’t think about tattling or badmouthing me. No one will believe you! I naturally won’t mistreat you if you’re willing to play along with my ‘filial daughter-in-law’ act and lie here and wait for death. However, if you stubbornly insist on telling things to your son or others, then… Well, you’ve been sick for so long, it wouldn’t be a big surprise if you suddenly died! ”
Lin Yu slowly got up and smiled at Han Yuan. “I’m going to go get some rest. I have to take care of the little seed in my belly!”
Shi Nian looked at the report in his hands and frowned. “Xi Cheng had no idea about this?”
“I don’t think he knows,” Ye Kun replied impassively. “With his temperament, he wouldn’t go so far as to attack the Shi family, even if he might attack the Ye family.”
Shi Nian glanced at Ye Kun and believed his objective judgment. Liang Han tentatively asked, “Should we give him a heads-up?”
Ye Kun rolled his eyes at him. “Who do you think he trusts more: you or his wife?”
Liang Han patted his chest and loudly stated, “Me, of course!” Ye Kun stared at him without saying anything, and Liang Han’s confidence crumbled bit by bit under Ye Kun’s gaze.
Yun Nan came to Liang Han’s rescue, saying, “I also think Xi Cheng doesn’t Imow about it. I went to sound out Lin Yu, and she was very flustered, which means that this was Lin Yu’s idea. Although the four great families are independent of each other, they have long been an intertwined community of shared interests after generations of cooperation. The rise and fall of one family will more or less affect the other three families sooner or later. However, I don’t understand where Lin Yu got the courage and capital to do this.”
Shi Nian nodded. “The Lin family definitely doesn’t have such power, so someone must be behind her. Either way, Liang Han, you should go and warn Xi Cheng. See if he’s wary of his wife. Give him a word of advice if he isn’t. He’s obstinate, so take care in how you approach this. Don’t let this backfire on you.”
Ye Kun pursed his lips and remained silent. Shi Nian explained, “I’m worried that an external force is invading us. They might start with him, but ultimately, they want to destroy all of us. If he falls, we all fall. We have to stand together.”
Ye Kun sneered, “I, too, would start with him if I were an external force. After all, it’s easiest to break through on his side.” Xi Cheng had always been strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Liang Han quickly accepted Shi Nian’s order. “Don’t worry. I’ll mind my manners and watch my words. We’re true buddies, after all!”
He squeezed Ye Kun’s shoulder as he said that. Ye Kun didn’t say anything. The fact that he was still sitting here and participating in this discussion was already the greatest concession he could make. He was only here for Shi Nian and Liang Han’s sake. Whatever happened to the Xi family and Xi Cheng had nothing to do with him..
