Yin Hehe finally endured it.
She didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
A few days later, the hospital informed them of Lin Shuang's discharge. That afternoon, the woman came to the old house again to pick up the child.
"Lina, you mustn't be rash this time. Miss Lin is actually quite difficult to get along with. We are always very careful around her. You made her suffer so much last time, you must be cautious."
Zhang Ma, a maid living with her, hurried over to warn her upon hearing this.
Yin Hehe smiled gratefully: "I understand, thank you, Zhang Ma."
About ten minutes later, she was taken to the front yard.
"Madam, I've worried you."
Indeed, as soon as she entered, she saw a young woman standing in the living room with a gauze on her forehead. The woman had a standard oval face with a smile that made her appear perfectly amiable, impossible to fault.
Yin Hehe walked in.
With a casual glance, she suddenly realized there was another person in the living room.
"Alright, where's the child?"
He sat casually in the chair. Without his usual meticulous sharpness, his clear and handsome features behind thin glasses actually made for a pleasant sight.
However, he seemed clearly impatient after listening to the two women's chatter for so long.
Yin Hehe turned her head to look elsewhere.
So, he had come himself to accompany his woman to pick up the child this time?
"Don't worry, your father will bring the child over in a moment," the old lady hurriedly explained.
"By the way, Xiaoshuang, have you mentioned this to your family? Your parents didn't say anything, did they?"
In less than two sentences, the old lady affectionately took Lin Shuang's hand and inquired.
Lin Shuang, of course, hastened to shake her head.
"Not at all, Madam. It was my fault, actually. If I hadn't been so anxious to establish a good relationship with the child that day, his nanny wouldn't have mistakenly thought I was going to harm him."
Unexpectedly, she took all the blame onto herself and even spoke on behalf of Yin Hehe.
Yin Hehe was stunned.
Impressive. After five years, this woman's skills had improved again, even playing such tricks.
"Xiaoshuang, you are too kind, even speaking up for her."
The old lady was indeed charmed by her once again.
"Rest assured, as long as you take good care of the child this time, I will make sure Ayuan marries you with great pomp."
"Really?"
Lin Shuang's eyes immediately lit up!
She quickly looked toward the man sitting in the chair and, seeing that he showed no expression of objection, was almost jumping with joy.
It wasn't easy.
She was finally going to marry into the Sheng Family.
Yin Hehe watched this scene expressionlessly, and seeing that the family seemed very happy together, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and turned to leave.
As an outsider, she might as well not get in the way.
"Eh? Miss Han, have you come? I was just about to look for you to apologize," the woman behind her suddenly noticed her with sharp eyes.
Suddenly, she deliberately called out to her loudly.
Yin Hehe had no choice but to stop.
"Miss Lin, you're exaggerating. It was too impulsive of me that day. I should be the one apologizing to you."
Reluctantly, she also spoke the same words.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman fell silent, deliberately pausing for a moment. The old lady immediately picked up the topic.
"You're right, you indeed need to apologize to Xiaoshuang. As a nanny, how could you lay hands on the master? And to injure her so severely, that's outrageous!"
By the last two sentences, the old lady's voice was already very stern.
Yin Hehe slowly clenched her fists.
"Old Madam, please don't blame her anymore. It was really my fault that day, Miss Han acted only because she was afraid I would hurt Hehe's child."
Woman's malice knows no deeper spite than this.
This woman, she actually blurted out "Hehe" openly.
In an instant, in this living room, not only did the old lady's anger not subside, but even the man sitting beside her was immediately enveloped by a layer of chilling coldness.
"What are you waiting for?"
He lifted his eyelids, and that gaze shot over like the blade of a knife.
Yin Hehe's face immediately turned pale.
She had always known that this wretched woman did it on purpose, but she was surprised she could actually ignite the man's anger.
She clenched her fingers tightly, and after a long while, she took a deep breath and slowly released her grip under the smug gaze of that detestable woman.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, it was my fault. Do you need me to compensate? Or do you prefer another way to make amends? Just say the word."
"Ah?"
The woman immediately showed a very shocked expression.
"What are you talking about? How could I ask for compensation from you? Ayuan, look, you've scared her."
She walked to the man's chair and with a pair of tender, boneless hands, she hugged his neck from behind and complained in a coquettish voice.
Yin Hehe felt a sudden wave of nausea.
Was this another act put on for her benefit?
No, it must be genuine; she was now a nanny, and this shameless couple has been living together for five years—there was no need to perform for her.
Yin Hehe turned and walked out.
But she didn't know that just as she stepped out the door, the woman in the living room suddenly looked up at her retreating figure and sneered coldly.
Compete with her?
What about Yin Hehe's nanny? Even if it were Yin Hehe herself standing before her, she would still be no match!
"Are you done performing?"
"Ah?"
In an instant, even the air in the living room seemed to drop by several degrees as Lin Shuang looked down at the man she was still holding.
Her body felt as if it had plunged into an ice cellar.
It was terrifying.
This man, in just a few seconds, had an aura even more frightening than when that ugly nanny was here, emanating a deadly stillness, cold and unpredictable.
"Ayuan, I..."
"I warn you, if you push these poor performances onto me again, I can make you disappear from this house in minutes!"
Without a shred of mercy, he pushed the woman away, and after throwing down those words fiercely, he stepped out.
Lin Shuang staggered several steps.
It was only after the man had left that she managed to steady herself with the support of the chair in the living room, her face pale as she looked at his retreating back.
He had seen through it all along.
But why didn't he expose it? Why keep up the act with her? Was it on purpose? Just to humiliate the nanny?
No, that's not right.
The one he was really humiliating was not the nanny but rather the nanny's employer—Yin Hehe!
Ha ha ha ha—
"Yin Hehe, do you see? Even though you are gone, there's still someone who hates you to the bone, who can't stand even the mention of your name without wanting to bite you."
With these thoughts, the woman suddenly felt her mood go from dark to sunny as she stood in the living room.
And her laugh was especially radiant…
