“Slap…”
Old Master Yin, upon hearing Leng Yifeng’s words, furiously slapped him across the face. “You bastard! If you call him a bastard one more time, I’ll tear your tongue out!”
“I…”
“You’re the real bastard.” Old Master Yin sneered at Pei Mingzhu. “You mother and son are truly a perfect match—calling others bastards, calling them fatherless. But in the end…”
He then turned his sharp, piercing gaze toward Leng Yifeng, his cloudy yet intimidating eyes seemingly penetrating into his soul.
Then, through gritted teeth, he spat out an ice-cold statement:
“Leng Yifeng, right? You shameless disgrace, what right do you have to spout nonsense here? The real fatherless bastard, the real piece of trash, is clearly you!”
Old Master Yin’s words struck Leng Yifeng like a thunderbolt, shaking him to his core.
In an instant, he felt as if the world was spinning, his vision blurred, and his once healthy complexion drained of all color. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his legs gave way, forcing him to stumble backward.
Bastard… fatherless… trash…
These were the words he had thrown at Yin Hanyu. But now, they had become his own truth.
The walls in his heart that he had built for years collapsed like a breached dam.
“Why? Why is this happening?” Leng Yifeng clutched his head in agony. “The one who should be fatherless, the one who should be a bastard, should be Yin Hanyu! So why… why is it me instead? No, this can’t be… this absolutely can’t be…”
“I’m not a bastard! I’m not a bastard!” Leng Yifeng had lost all rationality. Like a rabid beast, he lunged at Pei Mingzhu, gripping her tightly and screaming hysterically:
“Mom! Tell me! What the hell is going on? This isn’t what you told me before!”
Before Pei Mingzhu could respond, Old Master Yin roared with fury, waving his hand. “Guards! Throw these two scheming scoundrels out of my house! From now on, neither of them is ever allowed to step foot in the Yin family again!”
“And as for the Leng family, there’s no need to keep them around anymore…”
“If they are bastards, they should live like bastards.”
At his command, a group of well-trained bodyguards rushed forward.
Pei Mingzhu’s expression changed drastically. She quickly composed herself and snapped, “I dare you!”
Then, suddenly, she let out a chilling laugh.
“Hahaha… Hahahahahaha…”
Old Master Yin frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at your stupidity.” Pei Mingzhu smirked. “Even if my son isn’t related to the Yin family, Yin Hanyu definitely isn’t either.”
“Didn’t you hear what Yin Haoting just said? He was never at the hotel that night.” Pei Mingzhu sneered. “I personally drugged Bai Ci that night. The dose was the strongest possible, a formula I created myself. No doctor could possibly have an antidote. Without a man, Bai Ci would have died.”
“If Yin Haoting wasn’t at the hotel…” Pei Mingzhu turned toward Yin Haoting and Yin Hanyu with a mocking look. “Then how could Yin Hanyu possibly be his biological son?”
“So what?” Old Master Yin snapped. “This is a family matter of the Yin household. It’s none of your business!”
“Then what about Yin Hanyu? He is the real outsider!” Pei Mingzhu shouted. “He’s the bastard! He has nothing to do with the Yin family!”
“Pei Mingzhu, I didn’t want to deal with you, but your crimes are unforgivable.”
With a wave of his hand, the bodyguards grabbed Leng Yifeng and Pei Mingzhu without mercy, dragging them like dead dogs toward the door.
Leng Yifeng struggled and screamed, but it was all in vain.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the grand doors of the Yin family estate—symbols of power and prestige—slowly shut, permanently separating him from them.
Just as they were being thrown out, Pei Mingzhu played her trump card.
She shouted viciously:
“Old man, if you still want Yin Yixuan to live, you’d better treat me with some respect!”
“Otherwise, I’ll make sure he doesn’t survive the night!”
Old Master Yin’s face immediately darkened.
He rushed forward, signaling for the guards to back off.
“Pei Mingzhu! What have you done to Yixuan?”
Before answering, Pei Mingzhu calmly adjusted her appearance.
Smirking, she said, “You haven’t seen Yin Yixuan for three days, have you? And even today, he still hasn’t appeared. His health must be getting worse and worse, right?”
“How do you know that?” Yin Yichen blurted out anxiously.
“How do I know?” Pei Mingzhu laughed. “I also know that he’s a test-tube baby and that he’s always been frail since birth.”
“Do you know why he’s always been sickly?”
“Why?”
Pei Mingzhu’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “Because I tampered with him from the very beginning.”
“That’s impossible!” Old Master Yin barked.
“Why not? Did you think that just because you personally handled everything, no one could interfere?” Pei Mingzhu sneered. “Did you forget how the Pei family used to be famous in the imperial capital?”
“Back then, ninety percent of the hospitals in the capital were controlled by my Pei family. So if I wanted to do something, it was as easy as lifting a finger.”
“You…” Yin Haoyang clenched his teeth. “Pei Mingzhu, you venomous woman! How could you harm an innocent baby?”
“Was your Yin family any less cruel?” Pei Mingzhu screamed, her voice filled with hatred. “We treated you as in-laws, yet you secretly plotted to wipe out my entire family!”
“You have no idea how much I’ve hated the Yin family all these years!”
“I originally wanted to give you a dignified death. But now…” Pei Mingzhu’s smile turned wicked. “Now, you’ve brought this upon yourselves.”
“What do you mean?” Yin Haoyang sneered. “You’re just one woman. Do you really think you can do anything to the Yin family?”
“Why not?” Pei Mingzhu smirked. “Yin Haoyang, who gave you the right to underestimate women?”
She then turned to Yin Haoting. “If you want to save your son, bring every single member of the Yin family to Angel Kindergarten tomorrow.”
“Not a single person can be missing.”
“And…” Pei Mingzhu’s gaze fell upon Yin Hanyu. “If Yin Yixuan, that test-tube baby, isn’t enough of a reason for you to come, then what about Bai Ci’s illegitimate son? You’ll want to save him too, won’t you?”
Sure enough, Yin Haoting’s expression finally changed drastically.
“What did you do to him?”
“What did I do?” Pei Mingzhu suddenly turned toward Lin Qingyou.
Lin Qingyou was holding Yin Hanyu’s hand tightly, and he was holding hers just as firmly.
Pei Mingzhu sneered. “How loving.”
“Mind your own business,” Lin Qingyou rolled her eyes.
But Pei Mingzhu just laughed. “Oh, but Qingyou, your happiness won’t last long.”
She slowly approached them. “Qingyou, did you know what the bracelet I gave you is called?”
“It’s called the Lovers’ Bracelet.”
With that, she lightly tapped the bracelet on Lin Qingyou’s wrist.
A crisp sound rang out.
“This is a special item I painstakingly crafted with a love poison. The more Yin Hanyu loves you, the deeper he will be poisoned. The deeper the poison, the faster he will die.”
“Yin Hanyu, can you believe it?” Pei Mingzhu laughed wickedly. “The woman you love most is also the one who will hurt you the deepest.”
