Han Yuanâs breathing was steady as if she were sleeping soundly. Lin Yuâs lips curled up slightly as she said, âI know youâre awake, but no matter. You can close your eyes, but you canât close your ears! Your son worked hard at sowing his seed yesterday, so I wonât be surprised if I get pregnant with the Xi familyâs child. Are you totally disgusted?â
She continued, âHehehe, but Iâm happy. I have a âGet Out of Jail Freeâ card as long as I get pregnant with the Xi familyâs child. You canât do anything, even if youâre awake and can speak! You wouldnât want to kill the Xi familyâs child, right?â
Han Yuanâs eyes and lips trembled slightly. Lin Yu noticed but didnât care at all. She laughed gloatingly until tears rolled down her cheeks. She wiped her tears, ceased her laughter, and remarked, âYou hate me to the bone, donât you? But it doesnât matter; I donât care. I hate you guys, too! You heard Xi Chengâs sweet talk yesterday, didnât you? Do you think your son is a lovestruck fool? Hehe, well, heâs not! Do you know who he was fooling around with before he came here? Itâs that Gu Man who you chased out!â
Lin Yu took a deep breath and straightened up. Her tone was cold as she uttered, âI accepted the fact that heâs infatuated with Fang Xi, but I didnât expect he would even take a fancy to a b*tch like Gu Man. He really will sleep with anyone! Can you believe it? Thatâs the man Iâve decided to rely on for life since I was a kid. You must think youâre blind to pick me as a daughter-in-law, right? But so am I! Iâm also blind for choosing a man like that as a husband! My life was so easily ruined by him!â
Lin Yu covered her mouth and sobbed softly. âThe 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!â
She reached out and placed her hand on her belly. âI donât like children,â she murmured. âBut if this child can save my life, Iâll keep them. After all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.â
Lin Yuâs gaze fell back to Han Yuan. She reached out to pat Han Yuanâs slightly swollen face and said, âIâm warning you one last time. Donât think about tattling or badmouthing me. No one will believe you! I naturally wonât mistreat you if youâre willing to play along with my âfilial daughter-in-lawâ act and lie here and wait for death. However, if you stubbornly insist on telling things to your son or others, then⦠Well, youâve been sick for so long, it wouldnât be a big surprise if you suddenly died! â
Lin Yu slowly got up and smiled at Han Yuan. âIâm going to go get some rest. I have to take care of the little seed in my belly!â
Shi Nian looked at the report in his hands and frowned. âXi Cheng had no idea about this?â
âI donât think he knows,â Ye Kun replied impassively. âWith his temperament, he wouldnât go so far as to attack the Shi family, even if he might attack the Ye family.â
Shi Nian glanced at Ye Kun and believed his objective judgment. Liang Han tentatively asked, âShould we give him a heads-up?â
Ye Kun rolled his eyes at him. âWho do you think he trusts more: you or his wife?â
Liang Han patted his chest and loudly stated, âMe, of course!â Ye Kun stared at him without saying anything, and Liang Hanâs confidence crumbled bit by bit under Ye Kunâs gaze.
Yun Nan came to Liang Hanâs rescue, saying, âI also think Xi Cheng doesnât Imow about it. I went to sound out Lin Yu, and she was very flustered, which means that this was Lin Yuâs 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 donât understand where Lin Yu got the courage and capital to do this.â
Shi Nian nodded. âThe Lin family definitely doesnât have such power, so someone must be behind her. Either way, Liang Han, you should go and warn Xi Cheng. See if heâs wary of his wife. Give him a word of advice if he isnât. Heâs obstinate, so take care in how you approach this. Donât let this backfire on you.â
Ye Kun pursed his lips and remained silent. Shi Nian explained, âIâm 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.â
Ye Kun sneered, âI, too, would start with him if I were an external force. After all, itâs easiest to break through on his side.â Xi Cheng had always been strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Liang Han quickly accepted Shi Nianâs order. âDonât worry. Iâll mind my manners and watch my words. Weâre true buddies, after all!â
He squeezed Ye Kunâs shoulder as he said that. Ye Kun didnât 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 Hanâs sake. Whatever happened to the Xi family and Xi Cheng had nothing to do with him..
