A few months after the funeral of Lu Yun, it was New Year's Eve.

I used to dislike his talkative relatives, but this year, I was interested in going to see them.

Xiao San came to the door, pregnant. Those gossip lovers must not want to miss this interesting news.

Maybe there are even people coming specifically to see me make a fool of myself.

I heard that we were going back to our hometown, and Du Tian naturally wanted to follow, eager to secure her position as the next daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Let her be.

I cracked sunflower seeds all the way, and also checked my account for the number of fans.

In just a few months, my number of fans has increased to nearly one million.

And as I promised in the live broadcast room, when I reached one million fans, I would officially break ties with the Lu family.

Now that the evidence of Lu Yun's affair, property proof, and distribution contract are all prepared, it's almost time to move on to the next step.

How can we not be unhappy on New Year's Eve?

After arriving at Lu Yun's home, I changed my usual friendliness and diligence, and only did one thing, which was to sit on the couch and act lazy.

All the women in the family were busy, except for me and Du Tian.

Someone immediately couldn't stand it and said pointedly, "Shen An, Du Tian is pregnant, why are you still being lazy with her?"

"Mind your own business, have you finished peeling potatoes before coming here to meddle?"

I snapped back without hesitation.

The person's face sank, muttering something and then leaving.

Before long, I heard gossip from the women in the kitchen, as if deliberately raising their voices for me to hear.

"Xiao San came with a bulging belly, how does she have the face to come back?"

"Yeah, she's probably just thinking about the money."

"If I were her, I wouldn't have the face to come back. Can a woman still be called a woman if she can't have a child?"

I casually listened while grabbing another handful of sunflower seeds.

"But that Du Tian looks good, even though she's Xiao San, maybe it's true love."

"Yes, she looks obedient and clever. I heard she just graduated, young, no wonder she got pregnant."

"If Lu Yun were still alive, maybe we would be celebrating right now."

The women all agreed, as if praising Du Tian would bring them great benefits.

My mother-in-law was in a good mood and immediately promised, "When she moves out, I'll redecorate the house, and you can all come and visit."

A few crazy women, making plans without making any arrangements at all.

As the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready, I opened the live broadcast and hung a few flashy words, "Regret for a whole year if you miss it! Live broadcast of the annual melodramatic drama."

Soon, the live broadcast started to attract viewers, and some people even sent gifts in advance.

[I'm so excited! Congratulations to the host for reaching one million fans!]

[So, are we going to reveal everything today?]

[Great! I love to see madness, I'm staying tuned!]

I found a good spot, set up my phone without anyone noticing, and waited for the dinner to begin.

My mother-in-law came out happily with Du Tian and announced her pregnancy news at the table.

"That's why we say little Du is so admirable," my mother-in-law said with a smiling face. "In a few months, I'll be able to hold my grandchild."

Everyone clapped and offered their blessings, seemingly cheerful.

But in reality, they were all just trying to get a share of the compensation and housing money.

I watched coldly.

The sound of clinking glasses mixed with the sound of the Spring Festival Gala host's speech, while sporadic firecrackers sounded outside.

A new year was about to begin.

Everyone joyfully shared their fake smiles and offered their blessings.

It was as if they finally noticed my presence, and someone mentioned me disingenuously, "Shen An, no matter what Du Tian's previous identity was, she's at least carrying Lu Yun's child. Since Lu Yun is no longer here, please don't make things difficult for her."

Du Tian blushed and smiled triumphantly.

"Is that so?" I smiled and stood up. "I never make things difficult for anyone."

"But, are you sure it's Lu Yun's child?"

"What do you mean?" Du Tian's face turned pale.

My mother-in-law suddenly turned her head, mocking, "Shen An, you're still telling lies at this point. Do you think anyone will believe you?"

The TV host was counting down to the new year.

"Bang!"

At the last second of the countdown, I took out a stack of papers from my bag and slammed it on the table.
