eigned death to seek revenge on Ping Sheng. After Ping Sheng is punished, if people discover she's still alive, with Tu Tu's cunning, she could always spin a convincing lie." 。When Wen Ping Sheng was...Tang Moqing ordered the butler, "Our Young Master Three offered a toast to Mr. Lu and accidentally spilled it on his clothes. Take Mr. Lu to change."

"Good, Third Young Master." The butler, relying on his strong professional training, managed to suppress any hint of a smile and turned to Lu Yin, saying, "Mr. Lu, please follow me."

"I'll be back shortly. If you need anything, you can find San Shao or Ya Bai." Lu Yin instructed He Li with two sentences before leaving the ballroom with the butler to change his clothes.

Tang Yucheng and An Xiaotu were entertaining guests. When they finally had a moment to spare, they noticed Lu Yin leaving the banquet hall with the butler, his face looking unwell.

He walked over with An Xiaotu and asked, "Third brother, what's wrong with Lu Yin"

Tang Moqing told the whole story of what happened that night.

Tang An and his wife looked at each other, inexplicably feeling a sense of joy.

However, this little incident did not affect anyone's mood. Lu Yin went to change into a suit and returned, as if nothing had happened, continuing to participate in the banquet.

Tang Moqing and Xiao Yabai stood on the stage, each holding a child. Tang Moqing addressed the guests who had come to the full moon banquet.

In the banquet hall downstairs.

"Next time, let's make our little Xin'er urinate three less times and avoid getting her clothes wet." Lu Yin leaned close to Herly's ear and whispered.

"......," Herli.

This man is a bit childish.

She stifled a smile and gestured, asking, 'Does this count as the son repaying his father's debt'

Lu Yin pursed his lips, remaining silent, neither denying nor admitting.

Helly couldn't hold back and asked him, 'You always call her Baby Xin'er. What if it's a son'

Lu Yin hesitated for two seconds before saying, "…If it's a son and he changes his mouth again."

When he thought about what his third uncle had said, that man had initially thought Little Rabbit Teacher was carrying a daughter. When Xiao An was born, that someone had cried, and Lu Yin couldn't help but gloat with a chuckle.

Therefore, although he secretly hoped that Halley was carrying a girl because they hadn't checked the baby's gender, he still rationally prepared himself for the possibility of having a son. This way, even if they gave birth to a boy in the end, he wouldn't be too disappointed.

The news of Lu Yin being urinated on by Xiao Zhongqian quickly spread within the small circle of the Tang family. Facing the concern and greetings from Tang family elders and relatives, Lu Yin forced a smile, but his heart was filled with resentment.

This just made him even more determined that his future baby would repay his uncle three times over! Hmph!

Halfway through the banquet.

Hely drank some juice, said hello to Luyin, and went to the restroom.

After finishing, he came out of the bathroom and was blocked by a woman dressed to the nines.

"Are you the wife of Lu Yin" The woman's gaze scanned every inch of Holly, like a scanner.

Hely wasn't part of the Beisicheng circle and didn't know this woman at all, but she could tell that this woman was probably a fan of Lu Yin.

She was all too familiar with this situation. Back in Germany, Lü Yin often brought her along due to work, and she had been disliked by many socialites in the German upper circles.

Heily hesitated for a moment, then nodded after thinking about Lu Yin's words that he wasn't afraid of people knowing about their marriage.

Since she admitted it, the woman took her in from head to toe and then sneered with sarcasm, "Pregnant If I remember correctly, Lu Yin should have been married not long ago. Your belly should be five or six months along... Using your child to gain status What a method, you're so cunning and deep."

Although Lu Yin wasn't originally from Beisi City, he had been quite active in the business world these past few years, especially the last two. He frequently visited Beisi City, and there were rumors circulating that Lu Yin planned to establish a branch office there recently.

This man is a model gentleman: clean-living, steady and reserved, handsome and wealthy, a true gentleman without any ambiguity… In Beisiting's social circles, many single noblewomen have a good impression of Lu Yin.

There were also some people who admired the German land forces.

And she was one of Lü Yǐn's admirers.

Holly pursed her lips and listened to the woman's taunts impassively.

"What I got it right, speechless" The woman seemed to have thought of something, then raised her hand to cover her mouth and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I forgot you're a mute, can't speak."

Hearing the woman's personal attacks, Holly merely raised an eyebrow slightly without any reaction.

Before, in Germany, even when she was hidden away from the public eye, just like now, she had been attacked by some socialites and debutantes for her physical imperfections. She had endured so much that she became numb to it all.

It is difficult to love one's homeland.

She accepted it with pleasure.

When the woman saw that Holly remained unresponsive to her words, as if she were just a clown in her eyes, she was instantly enraged and began to rant and rave.

"Aren't you deaf as well as dumb Do you think you can keep Lu Yin tied to you forever with your child I tell you, Lu Yin was only momentarily misled by you using your child. When he wakes up, he will definitely not fall in love with an orphan without family background, a mute who would shame him if taken out. He might even hate you for dragging him down."

"Humph! Just because you can temporarily tie up Lu Yin with a child, doesn't mean others won't be able to do the same in the future."

Her words hit Herly right where it hurt, her clear eyes trembled violently, and her hands clenched into fists.

They said she was mute, that she had no feelings. But once they bound her flaw to the perfection of Lu Yin, she ached as if every muscle and bone were being pulled apart.

And... this woman also got one thing right: Lu Yin did indeed marry her for the child.

The feeling of inferiority buried deep within my heart, like a seed of ivy planted underground, suddenly sprouted as if under a spell. It grew wildly, bursting from the cracks and climbing upwards, covering the entire tree. It took away the sunlight of hope, leaving me suffocating.

Seeing Hely's face turn ashen, the woman was finally satisfied.

Because someone might come into the restroom any minute, the woman chuckled and patted Harley's shoulder, "Even if you are carrying Lu Yin's child, don't get too cocky. We still don't know who will end up victorious in the end."

After that, he wanted to reach out and touch Herly's abdomen.

Helly hurriedly stepped back to avoid it, stumbling two steps and almost falling.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to touch your baby. I have no intention of doing anything to you; today is the full moon banquet for the third young master's son, and I certainly don't want to ruin it." The woman shrugged, feeling quite pleased that she had frightened Holly.

After the woman left, Herly felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She slumped against the wall, letting out a shaky breath and wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

Touching his protruding belly, he fell into thought...d muscle of his waist. He kept to a fitness routine, so the muscles in his midsection were very tight and he couldn't quite get a hold on them, only managing to pinch a tiny bit of skin."I just bit yo...
