The teacher smiled and handed Yi Kangle to Lin Hui, waving goodbye: "Goodbye, Xiao Bao."

Yi Kangle was happy to see Lin Hui, but also somewhat timid.

He carefully tugged at Lin Hui's sleeve and whispered, "Mom."

Lin Hui didn't even glance at Yi Kangle, but turned to look at the teacher and said, "Thank you, teacher. We're leaving now."

She smiled and nodded, then pulled Yi Kangle out of the kindergarten.

Before I could take two steps, a cell phone suddenly rang behind me.

The teacher looked down at Yi An's name flashing on her phone screen, paused for a moment, and wanted to call out to Lin Hui, but found that she had already stopped on her own.

"It's Xiaobao's dad on the phone."

Yi Kangle raised her little face, looked at her, and froze. She whispered, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Lin Hui's expression turned cold, and she suddenly spoke up: "It's okay, you don't need to answer."

Without turning her head, she finished speaking, picked up Yi Kangle, and hurriedly walked out of the kindergarten.

"Xiao Bao's mom..."

The teacher didn't stop her. Looking at the phone that was still ringing in her hand, she hesitated for a long time before finally answering it.

"Hello, Xiao Bao's dad, what's up?"

Disheartened, Yi'an finally heard the phone answer and hurriedly asked loudly, "Has Xiaobao been picked up?"

The teacher explained the situation truthfully: "Xiao Bao's mother just picked him up; he hasn't even left the kindergarten yet. What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell him?"

Upon hearing this, Yi An panicked and gripped her phone tightly, shouting, "Stop the child! Don't let her take her away!"

"ah?"

The teacher was stunned, but Yi'an couldn't stop shouting, "Quickly, stop the child! Don't let her take her away!"

The teacher snapped out of her daze and hurriedly ran outside, only able to see Lin Hui carrying Yi Kangle into the car from behind.

"Xiao Bao's mom, please wait a moment!"

The teacher ran while waving his arms and shouting.

Lin Hui stopped moving, turned her head to look at the teacher who was running closer and closer, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she ignored Yi Kangle's curious questions. She closed the car door behind her and got into the driver's seat.

The teacher was even more surprised by her movements, and her pace quickened.

"Xiao Bao's mom, wait a minute, I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't told you yet! It's very important for Xiao Bao!"

She shouted urgently, hoping to use this excuse to stop Lin Hui.

But Lin Hui was clearly unmoved. She quickly started the car and stepped on the gas.

When the teacher finally caught up with the kindergarten, panting, all she could see was the car speeding away and the exhaust fumes it left behind.

The teacher was out of breath, half-bent over, panting heavily, as if she had just finished an 800-meter sprint.

She hesitated for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Yi An back.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Bao's dad, I couldn't stop him."

The moment Yi An heard the news, her phone slipped from her hand and fell onto her lap with a "thud".

Looking at her teacher, who had turned into an ant in the rearview mirror, Lin Hui smiled smugly.

"I will not let you take Xiaobao away from me."

Looking at Lin Hui's smile through the mirror, Yi Kangle couldn't help but feel scared. He whispered in a soft voice, "Mommy, where are we going?"

All traces of tension had vanished from Lin Hui's body as she relaxed back in her car seat.

"Go to Grandma's house. Grandma said she misses you, shouldn't you go see her?"

A look of fear crossed Yi Kangle's little face, and he asked hesitantly, "When are we going back to Daddy's house?"

Lin Hui's expression suddenly turned cold after he asked that question.

Instead of answering, she asked, "Why should we go back to Dad's house? He doesn't want us anymore, why should we go to him? Is it because we're cheap?"

Hearing the tone of her voice, Yi Kangle couldn't help but feel afraid. He huddled in his baby chair, too afraid to speak, and could only stare blankly out the car window with his small eyes.

Lin Hui glanced at Yi Kangle with a sinister look, her displeasure extremely obvious.

When the car arrived at the Lin family's house, Lin Hui casually pulled Yi Kangle off.

"We've arrived at your maternal grandma's house. You'll be living here from now on. Don't mention your father to me again, understand?"

Lin Hui's words were full of threats.

Yi Kangle was so frightened that he shrank back and dared not speak again. He lowered his head and followed her into the Lin family home.

As soon as the two entered, they bumped into Mrs. Lin, who was coming down the stairs.

As soon as Madam Lin saw Lin Hui, she launched into a tirade: "You never do anything productive all day long, where have you been running off to again?"

"I didn't go anywhere, I just picked up a child."

As Lin Hui spoke casually, she took off her coat and put it aside.

"child?"

Lin Hui's figure flashed, and only then did Madam Lin see Yi Kangle standing timidly behind her.

"Xiao Bao?!" she exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Wasn't Xiao Bao with Yi An? Did you bring him back?"

Lin Hui's face showed a hint of displeasure. "What's wrong? Xiao Bao is my son. What law says I can't bring him back?"

Madam Lin ignored her bad temper, looked at Yi Kangle, and suddenly clapped her hands, realizing something.

"No wonder Yi'an called me so urgently just now, asking me with special concern if I was alright. I thought he was finally remembering his duty as a son-in-law. But I never imagined it was all because of Xiao Bao."

She turned to Lin Hui and began to scold her again, "No matter what, you should have told him before you took Xiao Bao away!"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Hui's expression gradually turned grim.

She turned to Yi Kangle and ordered, "Go upstairs and play. I have something to say to Grandma."

Yi Kangle dared not disobey her orders, silently nodded to Madam Lin and greeted her, before being led upstairs by the nanny.

As Madam Lin watched Yi Kangle go upstairs, she hurriedly walked to the sofa and asked Lin Hui, who was sitting there with a serious expression, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Lin Hui didn't even look up, and said coldly, "Xiao Bao's matter can't be kept secret."

Madam Lin was shocked to hear this.

"How could it not be hidden anymore? Hadn't we already replaced Xiao Bao with another child?"

She paused here, as if realizing something.

Madam Lin looked at Lin Hui in horror, "Could it be that Lulu... has been exposed?"

Lin Hui suddenly became irritable and angrily accused Madam Lin: "That good-for-nothing Feng Lin! Giving her 500,000 yuan wasn't enough, she actually thought of using the child to blackmail Su Yan for money! Do you think her brain has been soaked in water!"

Madam Lin was also in a state of panic. She tried her best to calm herself down and comfort Lin Hui.

"Huihui, don't worry, there might be other ways."
