Lin Yu stared at Han Yuan in horror. She took two steps back and sat heavily on the bed. Lily, who was behind Han Yuan, subconsciously took a couple of steps forward, intending to support Lin Yu, before she stopped herself.
Han Yuan saw this and sighed, “Lily, you’re still too soft-hearted. It’s a pity you gave your compassion to the wrong person. She’s a vicious and ruthless woman. How can a silly girl like you be her match?”
Lily lowered her head. Han Yuan knew how to cut to the quick, so she proceeded to say to Lin Yu, “Xi Cheng already knows. Just as you expected, he didn’t suspect it was you who sold him out. He thought it was that stupid bint, Gu Man. But it’s okay. As long as someone gives him a hint, he’ll naturally recall who exactly had him sign those documents.”
“He’s looking all over for you right now. He probably wants to ask you why and then strangle you by the neck, wishing you dead. So, locking you up here is the safest thing for you. I’m not trying to protect you, though. I’m just protecting the child in your stomach because he has the surname Xi.”
Lin Yu’s chest heaved as she breathed rapidly. After a long while, she finally spoke. “Aren’t you afraid I won’t go through with the birth?”
Han Yuan smiled coldly. “Why should I be afraid? Xi Cheng is only 30 years old. He managed to get you with child, naturally, he can do the same with others. Do you think he’ll have a lack of women willing to bear his child?”
“I’ve said it before: I can’t kill the child. That would be a sin. However, I won’t love him much even after he’s born because the fact that you’re his biological mother makes it hard for me to like him. However, he is a Xi, so he naturally has a place in the Xi family. As for you riding on the coattails of your son to stay in the Xi family, that’s impossible.”
Lin Yu’s breathing gradually calmed down as she comprehended Han Yuan’s words. When a person has nothing to lose, they have nothing to be afraid of. She stared at Han Yuan with venomous hatred as she asked, “In that case, why didn’t you call the police? Won’t having me locked up in prison and ruining my reputation resolve the hatred in your heart?”
Han Yuan ignored the daggers Lin Yu glared at her and retorted, “Ruin your reputation? Who do you think you are?! Who would care about your reputation after you leave the Xi family? Don’t flatter yourself!”
“The reason I didn’t publicize what you did is for the Xi family’s reputation. After all, the Xi family can’t have a daughter-in-law like you, especially when I raised you since you were a child, you ingrate. I’m keeping all this quiet because I can’t afford to lose face, and the Xi family can’t afford such a stain to their name.”
