Lin Yan clenched her fists tightly and followed the eldest lady up the steps.

The stairs leading to the second floor have 18 steps in total. Lin Yan has walked through it many times, and it has never been as long as today.

Downstairs, Yu Beichen looked at Lin Yan's tense back, and his heart started to lift.

His wife looked like she had gone deep into the dragon's den and died heroically.

No, Yu Beichen took out his mobile phone and opened the group chat of Beichen Happy Guardian.

To be on the safe side, Yu Beichen thought it was better to get some insurance.

…

In the cloakroom, the lady turned around gracefully.

Wearing a pure black velvet modified cheongsam, paired with a plain tasseled embroidered shawl, time has not left too many traces on her face, and the lady's every move exudes a graceful and elegant temperament.

She seems to be a woman who is wealthy, peaceful, and very easy to get along with.

Of course, this is when she doesn't speak.

"Lin Yan, I really can't see that you still have the guts to play this little trick on me. Are you really not willing to be a reputable nurse?"

The eldest lady spoke calmly, with no emotion or anger in her tone.

Not only in the eyes of the eldest lady, but perhaps in the eyes of the entire Yu family, Lin Yan is just a nurse who climbs into bed to get her position.

"Sorry, mother-in-law, I didn't mean to break the contract, it was an accident..."

On the day Lin Yan got married, the eldest lady explicitly prohibited Lin Yan from calling her anything other than mother-in-law.

Lin Yan felt that she had broken the agreement no matter what, and she needed to apologize first.

"I didn't let you talk."

The eldest lady blocked Lin Yan's words and locked her eyes on Lin Yan.

"I won't beat around the bush with you, Lin Yan. What I gave you before doesn't count. You can make whatever price you want. How much will it cost before you are willing to take away the child and leave Beichen?"

The eldest lady's state was always calm, and her tone seemed to be talking about an object rather than a little life.

People from the Yu family have been in positions of power for a long time, and they always have an overwhelming aura when they open their mouths.

Lin Yan lowered her eyes and clenched her hands half-hidden in her skirt into fists.

Lin Yan, you can't be afraid, you are going to be a mother, you have to keep the baby.

Lin Yan cheered herself up in her heart, and when she raised her head again, there was a rare determination in her round almond eyes.

"Sorry, I can not do it."

The thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and the light sound was like a pebble submerged in the middle of the lake, stirring up waves.

"I have never touched a penny of the money you gave me. I will return it all to you. I will also pay liquidated damages. This is my child and I will never take it away."

Lin Yan's words finally made the eldest lady's expression change.

She really didn't expect that Lin Yan, who even had soft eyebrows, would say such tough words.

She has always been humble and submissive. What's going on today? Mother is more valuable than son?

"You shouldn't think that just because you have something in your belly, you can stay in the Yu family and be the master of the family, right?"

Persimmons are not soft when they are not ripe, but are a bit hard, but so what? They are not just persimmons that cannot be eaten on the table.

The eldest lady approached Lin Yan. Lin Yan subconsciously straightened her back and did not take a step back.

"I never thought about being the head of the Yu family, I just wanted to make the decision for my children."

Lin Yan took a deep breath and looked directly into the eldest lady's eyes.

"I am not dependent on the Yu family. If Mr. Yu agrees to the divorce, I can sign it..."

Snapped!

The door behind Lin Yan was violently pushed open, and Yu Beichen walked in with a gloomy face and blocked Lin Yan.

"Mom, I think I should have made it very clear just now. Please stop interfering in my personal affairs."

Yu Beichen was originally listening in the corner at the door. When he first heard Lin Yan's words, he had a feeling that his wife had become a loser, but as he got further back, something started to feel wrong again!

He couldn't wait any longer, he didn't want to hear the word divorce from Lin Yan again.

"Your personal affairs?"

The eldest lady sneered and raised her chin.

"Your surname is Yu Yitian, and your affairs are the Yu family's affairs!"

Lin Yan saw the eldest lady's raised eyebrows, which was a sign that she would get angry. The mother-son relationship between the eldest lady and Yu Beichen was not a good one, and they often quarreled.

"Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at your current position?

Your father is lying in the hospital and you don’t know when he will wake up. Do you think you can defeat your second uncle on your own?

Your wife must be able to help you with your business. If you don’t choose from so many famous ladies from aristocratic families, why would you choose a useless one to increase your weakness?”

The eldest lady asked questions repeatedly, and even Lin Yan felt heartbroken when hearing every word.

She and Yu Beichen were indeed incompatible with each other. It could even be exaggerated to say that they were from two different worlds.

But Yu Beichen acted as if he didn't hear it, and there wasn't even any sullen emotion in his eyes.

"What I decided will not change. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Mom doesn't have to worry about me."

After Yu Beichen recovered and returned to the group, he certainly knew the dangers surrounding him.

But those are what he has to face and have nothing to do with Lin Yan.

Lin Yan doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to be his wife.

"Beichen, do you know what you are talking about..."

From childhood to adulthood, Yu Beichen had always followed the rules step by step under her strict supervision. Except for one rebellion in adolescence, he had never disobeyed her like this again.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Yu Beichen marry Lin Yan out of responsibility.

"Yanyan, go change your clothes. Your sleeves are wet and uncomfortable."

Yu Beichen ignored her and asked Lin Yan to change clothes first. His baby was very brave today and he should reward her well when he gets back.

"good."

Lin Yanzhen nodded lightly, and the soft voice fell in the eldest lady's ears, causing her to be uncontrollably angry.

What she didn't like to see the most was Lin Yan's delicate and soft look, which reminded the eldest lady of the woman buried deep in her memory.

What a shame!

A character like Lin Yan's will be doomed sooner or later in the Yu family's den.

"Beichen, you are already an adult and you have to think things through carefully. Is it worth it for you to do this for this woman who has climbed into bed?"

The eldest lady's words made Lin Yan, who was passing by her, stiffen his back and his heart throbbed.

Three years ago, on the night to celebrate Yu Beichen's recovery, she drank too much for the first time, and when she woke up, she was already lying on the same bed with Yu Beichen.

Judging from the traces, everything that should have happened and everything that shouldn't have happened happened...

Moreover, this exciting scene happened to be caught by the eldest lady, which led to the subsequent agreement.

Lin Yan really wanted to refute that she didn't crawl into bed intentionally, but she really drank too much that night and couldn't remember anything.

But there is no convincing rebuttal, it sounds more like sophistry.

"mom!"

Yu Beichen's voice was also tinged with coldness and anger.

So in his mother's eyes, is Lin Yan this kind of woman? Or does everyone in the Yu family think so?
