Old Zhao couldn't miss Wang Lin's little thoughts, but seeing his younger son was attentive and she was pregnant with his child.
Thus, the old man didn't want to be the bad guy and fulfilled their wishes. His eldest son was handling the company affairs, and he didn't have high expectations for his second son.
Time flew by to Zhao Sui Sui's full moon celebration, and everyone knew the Zhao family had an unwed pregnant daughter-in-law.
However, seeing how doting Zhao's second son was, and the attitude of the Zhao family members, these people dared not look down on Wang Lin.
Holding the baby, she was the star of this banquet, surrounded by a group of people who praised her without a second thought.
Zhao's mother introduced her by her side, and Zhao Yun Shen also stayed close by.
Xu Liu Ying disliked such occasions. After greeting a few necessary people, she found a corner to sit and eat.
She was pregnant now, and no one dared to say anything about her resting. Zhao Yun Hua sat beside her, but his eyes were glued to Wang Lin.
Xu Liu Ying: "What are you looking at? Do you need to talk to those people? If you do, you can go ahead. You don't need to mind me."
Zhao Yun Hua: "How are you feeling? Is the baby inside bothering you?"
"I don't feel anything. You can go and be busy."
"Alright. If you need anything, just call me. I'm going to say hello to Mr. Chen."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Zhao Yun Hua first settled Xu Liu Ying comfortably, gave her a few instructions, and then got up to leave.
The Xu family naturally had to attend this banquet. Now that the adults were all occupied with their own conversations, Xu Liu Ying's younger cousin came to keep her company.
"Cousin, can I touch your belly?"
Xu Liu Ying instinctively moved her hands to the sides. Her younger cousin gently touched them a couple of times.
"Cousin, aren't you scared? Your belly is so big. How do you sleep at night?"
"Of course, I'm scared. I have no experience at all. When I first got pregnant, I was terrified. Watching those videos online almost broke me.
Later, your brother-in-law stopped me from watching those things. He hired a professional nanny to take care of me, and the baby inside is very well-behaved. I haven't suffered much even at six months."
"My brother-in-law looks so cold, I didn't expect him to be so good to you. You got married so quickly, I was afraid you had chosen the wrong person."
"We'll just make do. We're not kids anymore, and I don't fantasize about a prince charming."
The sisters had gotten along well since they were young, and the Zhao family didn't need a pregnant woman like her to entertain guests, so the two chatted quite freely.
Zhao Sui Sui, who was adored by everyone, grew tired. The old man pretended to be very fond of his granddaughter in front of outsiders.
After doting on her in his arms for a while, he handed her over to the nanny to take her to rest.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yun Hua, looking at the happy Wang Lin and her family, couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart and impulsively did something out of line.
Seeing Wang Lin enter the restroom, he followed her when no one was paying attention, grabbed her hands, and pulled her into a cubicle.
A waiter pushed a meal cart past Xu Liu Ying. She suddenly felt a wave of nausea and discomfort in her stomach.
Her younger cousin was startled by her appearance and quickly expressed concern. "Cousin, what's wrong? How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Xu Liu Ying waved her hand. "It's nothing serious. I think I'm going to have morning sickness. Although I don't know why, that's how it's always portrayed on TV. This child even knows to give advance notice. Yan Yan, accompany me to the restroom."
"Okay."
Her younger cousin wanted to help Xu Liu Ying, but Xu Liu Ying politely declined. Standing up, she felt much better, but the baby inside was still restless.
As the sisters arrived at the restroom, they heard a familiar voice. Her younger cousin quickly covered Xu Liu Ying's mouth.
She shook her head, indicating silence, and immediately took out her phone to start recording. Then, she slowly approached the cubicle. Fortunately, both sisters were wearing flat shoes.
Wang Lin was stunned by Zhao Yun Hua's actions. She was afraid of making a scene, so she didn't struggle too much.
After entering the cubicle, she quietly asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean by this? Let go of me quickly, lest someone sees and misunderstands."
Zhao Yun Hua, seeing her heartless demeanor, was driven to madness. "You call me Big Brother! Has anyone slept with their own Big Brother for three years?"
Zhao Yun Hua was also confused with anger. Under normal circumstances, he would never say such hurtful words to Wang Lin. The two outside the cubicle were shocked.
Wang Lin's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "How can you say that about me? Let go of my hand, I want to go out. I am your brother's wife now, and we have a lovely daughter. I don't want him to misunderstand."
Zhao Yun Hua reached out and morbidly caressed Wang Lin's lips. Wang Lin was frightened by his gaze and dared not say anything to provoke him further.
However, her expressive big eyes were enough to evoke pity.
"Xiao Lin, shall we start anew? I can accept your daughter with Yun Shen, and can you have a child for me too?
Hush, don't say those things that will make me sad anymore. You are such a heartless woman. I have never forgotten you all these years.
I know your concerns. As long as you are willing, I will divorce Xu Liu Ying and give her a sum of money to raise the child. You are afraid of being gossiped about, so shall we go abroad to live?"
Wang Lin shook her head helplessly, and Zhao Yun Hua became even more frantic. He punched the cubicle partition, making a loud noise.
"Do you only care about Yun Shen? Where is he better than me that you abandoned me without hesitation to pursue him?"
"Ah Hua, don't be like this. I'm so scared. What if someone sees this? Let the past be the past. Let's let each other go and live our lives well."
Seeing her pitiful and helpless appearance, Zhao Yun Hua finally regained a shred of reason. He took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry! Wang Lin... sister-in-law."
This was the most out-of-line thing Zhao Yun Hua had ever done. He now deeply regretted it.
His terrifying appearance must have frightened her. She would surely avoid him even more in the future.
Let this expired love come to an end today. Zhao Yun Hua turned to leave, but Wang Lin caught his sleeve.
"Big Brother, I hope you find happiness, happiness like our family. I will pretend today never happened."
Zhao Yun Hua gave a self-mocking smile and brushed her hand away. "Don't worry, what happened today will never get out."
Zhao Yun Hua opened the door and came out. He was greatly startled by the sisters outside. After regaining his composure, he used his back to firmly block the door.
Wang Lin inside immediately realized something had happened. She wiped away her tears and adjusted her dress. Her mind raced as she figured out how to extricate herself completely.
Younger Cousin: "Zhao Yun Hua, what do you mean by this? Are you not letting the woman inside come out for a picture?"
Zhao Yun Hua completely ignored her younger cousin and looked affectionately at Xu Liu Ying. "This is all a misunderstanding. I can explain. Let's talk about it when we get home. Making a scene will be bad for both our families."
"What is there to explain? You Zhao family are truly dirty. Do you really think my cousin is easy to bully?"
"Our families' matters are not for an outsider like you to interfere with. I have absolutely done nothing to betray Liu Ying."
"You shameless..."
Xu Liu Ying tugged at her younger cousin's sleeve and shook her head.
"Wang Lin, come out. If you keep hiding, I guarantee you won't have any dignity left."
"Xu Liu Ying, if you have something to say, say it to me. Lin Lin is innocent. There's nothing between her and me. I made a mistake out of impulse today."
Her younger cousin, holding her phone in one hand and her hips in the other, said, "Lin Lin, Lin Lin, she calls her so affectionately. She calls my cousin, her legal wife, by her full name. And you say there's nothing? Who would believe that?"
Xu Liu Ying held her pregnant belly and pulled her younger cousin back. She saw Zhao Yun Hua's bloodshot eyes and was afraid he would do something beastly.
Wang Lin knew that hiding any longer would be futile. Xu Liu Ying, this young lady, was both foolish and easily coaxed.
She went over the explanation in her mind, then put on a weak and easily bullied appearance. If that fool softened her heart, she might be able to deceive her.
Thinking of this, she pushed the door open. "Big Brother, let me out. This is all a misunderstanding. I will personally explain it to Big Sister-in-law."
Zhao Yun Hua had no choice but to move aside. Wang Lin emerged delicately.
Before Wang Lin could speak, the sisters were about to leave. They were not ones to play by the usual rules.
