"Since you know it's going too far, don't bring it up. We're not that close, are we? You're being really rude."
Pei Zhen's face immediately turned even uglier.
But she was thinking about her own things, then gave an awkward laugh: "Judging from your expression, you don't seem very welcoming. I mean no harm."
Lin Ying nodded: "You figured it out, that's really something. I thought you wouldn't be able to tell. You seemed like you couldn't tell either, which put me in a difficult position."
After saying that, Lin Ying checked the time and said, "It's getting late. I don't know if you've heard that my family keeps two tigers. They don't really like outsiders, especially people with ulterior motives, coming to our house."
Pei Zhen's lips twitched: "Look how untimely I am. Since it's inconvenient, I'll come again next time. Well, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."
Lin Ying nodded, and before Pei Zhen sat up from the sofa, she said to Pei Zhen, "You may not know this, but I studied medicine. I can tell at a glance whether you have trouble sleeping or why. Don't use this excuse in the future; it makes people laugh."
Lin Ying's words made Pei Zhen's face turn pale and then red, and she couldn't say anything. She turned around and left.
After watching Pei Zhen leave, Lin Ying turned to Hao Yu.
Upon realizing that Haoyu hadn't even glanced at Pei Zhen, he couldn't help but laugh: "She's already gone, aren't you going to look at her at all?"
Haoyu said, "They're just strangers, why waste time on them?"
Lin Ying knew that the more Haoyu said this, the more he cared. However, she didn't think Pei Zhen would give up. Pei Zhen might think that this would make Haoyu accept her as his mother again, but she didn't know that doing so would only make Haoyu's feelings for her grow weaker.
Pei Zhen came several more times in the following days. According to Shuanzi, she also "coincidentally" ran into Haoyu a few times on the road after that.
As expected, they all met with a rebuff.
Lin Ying never expected that Pei Zhen would actually persuade Deng Lilai to act as an intermediary.
Lin Ying was initially a little surprised to see Deng Lilai. She hadn't gone out during this period, so there shouldn't be anything she needed to do ideological work with.
Deng Li smiled as she looked at Lin Ying's belly: "How many months pregnant are you?" As someone who had been through it all, Deng Li could tell at a glance that Lin Ying was different, and naturally knew that she was pregnant.
Lin Ying gave an awkward laugh: "It hasn't been three months yet."
Deng Li sat down happily next to Lin Ying, took Lin Ying's hand and said, "That's great! When your brother Lin told me about your situation, my heart ached so much. You two are such good people, but now you're being dragged down by these kids and you don't even dare to have your own children. I wanted to come and visit you before, but your brother Lin wouldn't let me. He said you had your own ideas."
I never expected that I would be pregnant.
Lin Ying hadn't expected her family's situation to cause them trouble, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "This child was also unexpected, but since he's already here, we don't mean to abandon him."
She's raised other people's children, but now that her own child has arrived, she wants to give up on them. If that's the case, then she really has something wrong with her head.
If the child doesn't come, that's fine; but if he does come, then naturally we have to take responsibility for him.
“Great news, really great news. And I’m here today for another good thing.”
Lin Ying looked at Deng Li, somewhat puzzled: "Is there anything else good?"
Deng Li laughed and said, "That's right. Wasn't the reason you didn't have children before because of the child your husband Lao Zhao brought back? Now, someone wants to adopt that child. Isn't that a good thing? This way, you won't have such a big burden..."
Lin Ying understood, so she didn't intend for Deng Li to continue: "Sister-in-law, I know what you mean, and I know who you're talking about. Pei Zhen found you, right?"
Deng Li was taken aback, then asked, "You know?"
Lin Ying laughed: "That person has come to my house five or six times, how could I not know? Sister-in-law, it's better if you don't get involved in this matter. Things are not as simple as you think. There are some things I can't say, but you just need to know that since this child is registered in my household, he is my child. There is no reason to give away my child."
Upon hearing Lin Ying's words, Deng Li hesitated slightly. She had initially thought it was just a simple matter of helping out, but she hadn't expected there to be so many hidden details.
Deng Li's face turned somewhat pale, as if she had thought of something: "Oh, I see. Well, you see, I was too anxious. I came over before I even understood what was going on. I only heard some things from Pei Zhen. She sounded so pitiful, so I softened and agreed to come and tell you. I didn't know there were so many twists and turns involved."
Lin Ying shook her head: "I know my sister-in-law is doing this for my own good, so of course I won't be angry. However, Haoyu is a rather sensitive child. It took him so long to be willing to communicate with us. Please consider that it's not easy for me to raise my child, so please refuse him in the future if we encounter similar situations."
Deng Li nodded slightly: "Alright, since you've said so, then I won't get involved in this matter. You can handle it yourselves. But Lin Ying, you're pregnant, so you need to take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I will." Lin Ying saw Deng Li out.
Pei Zhen grew increasingly furious after learning that Deng Li's persuasion had failed. She felt that Lin Ying was incredibly ungrateful; she had already given her so many "chances," yet Lin Ying still refused to give in. Therefore, Pei Zhen decided to take more drastic measures.
However, before she could even carry out her plan, it was completely thwarted by Zhao Qinghuai upon his return.
Zhao Qinghuai is always very direct in his actions. He's rarely home, so naturally he can't pose a safety risk to Lin Ying. Because he's decisive and efficient in everything he does.
Take, for example, the case of the military spouse.
This time was no different. Zhao Qinghuai went even further, directly approaching Pei Zhen and her husband. He made it clear that if they dared to disturb their lives again, he would expose their affair. He claimed he had evidence, even if others said it was just a rumor.
Pei Zhen doesn't truly love her son; she wants to use him to achieve her own goals. If Zhao Qinghuai exposes this, then it's better to abandon the son altogether. At least for now, they seem to be living a glamorous life.
Zhao Qinghuai's words were very direct. Pei Zhen's husband's position has now reached its peak. He used Gu Lang to climb the ladder before, and now he wants to use Hao Yu, but it depends on whether he is willing.
If they stop causing trouble, it's best to remain strangers. But if they keep causing trouble, then don't blame him for bringing them down eventually.
The punishment for disrupting a military marriage is not light.
