Yi Kangle whimpered and cried out, "Daddy, don't abandon me and marry that bad woman!"

Lin Hui stood up triumphantly, pretended to be concerned, and walked over to Yi Kangle, saying, "Xiao Bao, how could you misunderstand your father like that? Your father loves you so much, he will love you no matter which aunt he marries."

No matter how much they tried to persuade him, Yi Kangle just kept crying.

Meng Jie looked at him coldly and said, "Yi An, come to the study with me."

Yi An comforted Yi Kangle in her arms for a moment, then handed him to Lin Hui.

As soon as he entered the study, Meng Jie began to scold him harshly: "Now do you see how much harm your nonsense has caused Xiao Bao!"

Yi An couldn't bear to look at Yi Kangle's appearance, so she softened her tone.

"I will handle this matter well. I will help Xiaobao gradually accept Su Yan."

Meng Jie bluntly shattered his dream, "What are you still fantasizing about? What's so great about a woman with no education, no family background, and who's divorced? What's there to be attached to?"

She issued an ultimatum: "I don't care what you think, for the sake of the child, you must marry Lin Hui. She is the child's mother, your other half for life."

"Why do you keep forcing me to marry someone I don't love?" Yi An retorted.

Meng Jie finally showed anger on her face, "I'm teaching you to take responsibility!"

Yi An watched as she shook her head and backed away, "You're not teaching me responsibility, you're just indulging your controlling nature. From childhood to adulthood, you've always controlled me like this, telling me what I can and can't do. Whatever you like, I have to do; whatever you don't like, I can't do. I've had enough of this life!"

Meng Jie: "What? You want to sever ties with me? Let me tell you, once you leave this family, you can forget about ever seeing Xiao Bao again."

When Yi An heard her threaten her with Yi Kangle, she chuckled and said, "I won't leave, don't worry."

"So what do you want to do?"

Yi An smiled and said, "Mom, you can't force me this time."

He took a small red notebook out of his pocket and slapped it on the table in front of Meng Jie.

"We've already registered our marriage."

Meng Jie picked it up in disbelief, instinctively thinking it was fake.

"You made this thing just to rebel against me?"

She was completely stunned when she saw the date on it.

"Five years ago? You two were together five years ago?"

Seeing her incredulous expression, Yi An suddenly laughed.

He felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "Yes, we got together five years ago, but for various reasons, I lost her. But now it's all right, I've found her again."

Meng Jie slammed the marriage certificate on the table, her face as cold as ice: "Divorce!"

Yi'an was stunned when she heard those two words.

"Divorce? How can you even say those two words? Aren't you the one who despises the word divorce the most? If I get divorced, I'll become the kind of person you despise."

Meng Jie gritted her teeth and repeated herself, her gaze even more determined.

"divorce!"

Yi Kangle downstairs sniffed and looked at Lin Hui ingratiatingly.

"Mom, I chased that bad woman away. Did I do a good job?"

Lin Hui was so happy she could hardly stop smiling, and she lovingly touched his little face again and again.

"How come I never realized you were so cute before? Mommy loves you so much!"

She coaxed Yi Kangle, "But, Xiao Bao, can you play here first? Mommy needs to go talk to that auntie and clear things up."

Yi Kangle nodded obediently and watched Lin Hui leave.

Lin Hui had just left when Wu Fen walked out of the kitchen.

She stared in disbelief in the direction Lin Hui had left, almost doubting her own ears. Had she really heard something?

She turned her gaze to Yi Kangle, stood there for a long time, but didn't dare to go forward.

Lin Hui was still immersed in the joy of her victory, completely unaware that someone had overheard her words.

She ran quickly out of the villa, and seeing Su Yan who hadn't gone far, called out loudly, "Miss Su."

Su Yan stopped and turned to look at her.

"Miss Lin, what's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Su, my child was a little agitated. Please don't mind."

Lin Hui said this, but her face was full of gloating.

Su Yan replied generously, "It's nothing. He's just a kid, a blank slate. What can he understand? Of course, he'll do whatever the adults tell him to do."

Lin Hui wasn't flustered when she realized that Meng Jie and Yi An weren't around, so she readily admitted it.

"So what if I instructed them? Su Yan, what can you do about it? I advise you to go back to where you came from and stop coveting what doesn't belong to you. Don't you even know your place? A carpenter's daughter wants to be a daughter-in-law of the Yi family? That's just wishful thinking!"

Su Yan looked at him with a smile, without a trace of anger on her face.

"And what about you? A woman who plagiarized others' work and was kicked out of the design industry, what qualifications do you have to become a daughter-in-law of the Yi family?"

Lin Hui was speechless for a moment, and it took her a long time to stammer out a complete sentence.

"I gave birth to the eldest son of the Yi family!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately laughed.

"Miss Lin, it's already 2020, and you're still scheming about having the eldest son and grandson? Your Qing Dynasty is long gone."

Lin Hui gritted her teeth, "Su Yan, don't be so arrogant. I have Xiao Bao in my hands. You won't be able to get into the Yi family."

Su Yan sneered, "Lin Hui, you have truly crossed the line for women. You are so eager to become a daughter-in-law of the Yi family, don't think the same way about others."

Lin Hui immediately questioned, "Then what are you here for? Don't tell me you're just here to visit. What are you pretending for?"

She looked her up and down with disdain. "No education, no family background, and you're a divorced woman. You're trying to climb the social ladder and change your impoverished social class? Don't be delusional!"

Su Yan: "The same words apply to you, Miss Lin Hui."

She took a voice recorder out of her bag and slapped it on Lin Hui.

"Given that I am the kind of person who never does the same thing twice, I'll give this to you as a souvenir. Listen carefully to what kind of absurd things you're saying."

Lin Hui's face turned pale with fright as soon as she saw the recording pen.

"Su Yan, you've schemed against me again!"

"It's because you're stupid!"

Su Yan glanced at her, then gracefully turned and left.

"No need to see me off, Miss Lin Hui. I believe Yi An will make up for your apology many times over."

Lin Hui gripped the recording pen tightly, her fingers turning white.

"She actually dared to mention Brother An! This is outrageous! I will never let you step into the Yi family again, Su Yan. Just you wait and see."
