Chapter 159 She is my daughter

Pei Muye called Lin Xiyin, but the call didn't go through.

At first, he thought Lin Xiyin was taking a shower or was not feeling well.

He called again, but still no one answered.

He left a message for Lin Xiyin, asking her to see it and reply to him.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lin Xiyin still hadn't replied.

When he called again, the phone was switched off.

Pei Muye comforted himself, thinking that she must have been busy and hadn't seen the phone, and then it ran out of battery.

Everyone will probably encounter this situation at some point.

But after sitting for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore.

Seeing that Lin Youxing was sleeping soundly, he got up and went downstairs. Before starting the car, he called Lin Xiyin again, but her phone was still off.

When he arrived at Lin Xiyin's building, he regretted not getting Aunt Zhao's phone number.

He thought for a moment and then called Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi had just vomited, and Huo Xianyang was helping her rinse her mouth, his face full of heartache.

The phone rang, and Xiao Ruoyi glanced at it listlessly.

Huo Xianyang quickly took her phone, looked at the name on it, and was stunned for a moment: "Pei Muye called you?"

Xiao Ruoyi reached out and took the call, putting it on speakerphone: "Pei Muye?"

"It's me. I can't get in touch with Yinyin. Is she with you?"

"Cannot be contacted, what does that mean?"

Hearing the weakness in Xiao Ruoyi's voice, Pei Muye didn't press the matter, only saying, "I've tried calling several times, but no one answered, and her phone is off now."

Xiao Ruoyi said, "I'll call my aunt and ask."

"I'm downstairs at her place now. After you contact her, call me back."

Xiao Ruoyi agreed, hung up, and then called her aunt.

Huo Xianyang helped her lie down and took the phone from her: "I'll do it."

He also knew Aunt Zhao.

Xiao Ruoyi had no strength left and went with him.

Huo Xianyang found Aunt Zhao's phone number and called her.

Aunt Zhao is used to going to bed early and has already gone to sleep.

Her phone rang for a while before she answered, her voice still a little sleepy: "Is this Yiyi? What's wrong?"

Huo Xianyang said, "Auntie, this is Huo Xianyang. I'm sorry to bother you so late. Could you please check if Lin Xiyin is home? I can't get through to her phone."

"She's home," the aunt said as she got up and left her bedroom.

She only goes back to her own home on weekends; she usually stays at Lin Xiyin's place.

She arrived at Lin Xiyin's bedroom door and knocked: "Ruan Ruan? Ruan Ruan?"

I called out a few times, but there was no response from inside.

Xiao Ruoyi said, "Let her push the door open and go in."

Huo Xianyang said, "Auntie, please go in and take a look."

Aunt Zhao pushed the door open; it wasn't locked, and it opened with a press of the handle.

The room was lit, and the aunt called her name as she walked in.

Actually, you can see at a glance that there's no one inside.

The aunt went to the balcony again to check, but there was no one there.

“Ruan Ruan isn’t here,” the aunt said. “I really don’t know when she went out. She was still home around nine o’clock.”

Huo Xianyang and Xiao Ruoyi were both taken aback.

At this moment, Pei Muye realized that he had been too concerned and had gone to Lin Xiyin's parking space, but he did not see the car that he had bought for Lin Xiyin.

The car isn't there; it's probably been driven away by Lin Xiyin.

He made a phone call, and the car had a GPS tracking system. Soon, the other party sent him the location.

On his way there, he received a call from Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi was also anxious: "She's not home. Auntie doesn't know when she went out."

Pei Muye said, "I went to look for her. There's a GPS tracker in her car, so she must have driven off."

"Then let me know when you find it!"

"good."

Pei Muye saw the car.

It was parked in a secluded parking lot.

Winter is approaching, the leaves are falling and the area is desolate, and there are hardly any people around.

The car stood there alone, exuding a sense of desolation.

There was only a car, but it was unknown whether Lin Xiyin was inside.

Looking around, the surroundings are far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and are close to the desolation of the suburbs.

What is Lin Xiyin doing here?

Pei Muye strode over there and saw the woman slumped over the steering wheel through the windshield.

It is Lin Xiyin.

Pei Muye breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why she had come all this way alone, he was glad that she was alright.

He first took out his phone and called Xiao Ruoyi.

I briefly let them know I was safe.

Xiao Ruoyi asked, "What's wrong with her? Let her answer the phone!"

"I'll get back to you later," Pei Muye said. "Let me ask her first."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Muye watched her from outside for a while.

Lin Xiyin hadn't gotten up for a long time, but she made small movements, so you could tell she wasn't asleep and was awake.

Pei Muye gently knocked on the driver's side window.

Lin Xiyin was immersed in her own emotions, automatically blocking out all external sounds.

She didn't even know how she got here.

At that time, all I wanted was to escape, so I wandered aimlessly.

When she stopped the car, her back was covered in sweat.

She was too exhausted to continue driving.

Seeing that she didn't react, Pei Muye knocked on her again, harder.

Lin Xiyin then heard this. She looked up blankly, her gaze following the sound, but it was unfocused.

"Yinyin!"

Pei Muye grew anxious and raised his voice.

Lin Xiyin faintly heard this, and slowly her consciousness returned. She looked around and found everything unfamiliar.

She opened the car window.

Pei Muye noticed her red and swollen eyes first.

"Yinyin!" Pei Muyi immediately asked, "What happened to you? Why are you here?"

If it weren't for the GPS tracking in the car, he didn't dare imagine how long it would take him to find her.

And what happened to her that made her hide here and cry?

At that moment, Pei Muye felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

"Yinyin!"

Lin Xiyin didn't speak, but just stared at him with her clear, black and white eyes, which were now red and swollen.

Pei Muyi couldn't take it anymore. He reached inside, unlocked the car, opened the door, and hugged Lin Xiyin tightly.

At that moment, he didn't care about distance or boundaries.

He just wanted to hold her and didn't want her to suffer any injustice.

Lin Xiyin didn't move at first.

Pei Muye felt a little more at ease holding the person in his arms.

Then he noticed that his clothes were damp and warm.

Lin Xiyin cried again.

Pei Muye reached out, slipped his hand under her knees, and lifted her out horizontally. He then opened the back door and helped her sit down.

Lin Xiyin ended up lying horizontally in his arms.

She seemed oblivious, burying her face in his body, and that area quickly became wet.

"Yinyin, say something." Pei Muye was both anxious and distressed, wondering what was wrong with her.

"What exactly happened? Please tell me, and I'll take care of it."

"Is it something to do at school? Is someone bullying you?"

"Is it still a lack of funding, or is there a problem with the experiment?"

"Yinyin, no matter what happens, I'm here for you."

Pei Muye's phone rang, and he freed one hand to take it out.

It was Xiao Ruoyi calling.

She was worried.

Pei Muye hung up, then quickly replied to her message with one hand.

To put her mind at ease.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiyin remained silent.

Pei Muye moved slightly and changed her position.

Lin Xiyin turned her face away from him.

She fell asleep.

She cried herself to sleep.

There were still tears on her eyelashes.

Pei Muye felt extremely distressed and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He couldn't understand why she was crying so sadly.

Could it be because of something that happened to her family?

But her parents had long since disappointed her.

How could he have hurt her so deeply?

It couldn't be because of him, could it?

There were no more misunderstandings between him and Lin Xiyin.

A few minutes later, his phone rang again.

He thought it was still Xiao Ruoyi, but when he looked at the number, it was an unfamiliar one.

But the number is very special.

He was afraid of disturbing Lin Xiyin, so he quickly answered the call.

He held it to his ear and whispered, "Who is it?"

The other person immediately introduced himself: "Pei Muye, is that right? I am Qu Jianhang."

Qu Jianhang?

Although Qu Lianyi is related to the Qu family, Pei Muye is not familiar with Qu Chongyou and has no connection with Qu Jianhang.

He only knew her name, but had never met her.

He was surprised; why would Qu call him?

"President Qu," he called out simply. "What is it?"

"Let's talk about Lin Xiyin."

Pei Muye was even more surprised: "You know Yinyin?"

"I am Yinyin's biological mother."

Pei Muye's mind went blank.

It was like a thunderclap in my ear.

Qu Jianhang's voice sounded quite calm: "I met Yinyin by chance, and she looks a lot like my ex-lover. I didn't have much hope, but I still checked and found out that she is not Lin Yiming's biological daughter. I also took her hair and did a paternity test, and the results just came out."

But she couldn't get in touch with Lin Xiyin, so she ended up calling Pei Muye instead.

Pei Muye suddenly looked down at Lin Xiyin.

She cried so hard tonight.

Does that mean... they found out about this?

What do you want to do?

Without realizing it, Pei Muye used honorifics.

It's unclear whether Lin Xiyin will recognize Qu Jianhang, but she is Lin Xiyin's elder.

Qu Jianhang tried hard to suppress his emotions: "Is Yinyin with you?"

"Yes." Pei Muye didn't elaborate. "What are your thoughts on that end?"

“Yinyin is my daughter, of course I will acknowledge her,” Qu Jianhang said. “From now on, I will only have this one daughter.”

Pei Muye was shocked.

Even Qu Jianhang himself didn't know how much wealth he possessed.

She and the Qu family's assets had long been separated.

She does it all herself now.

Moreover, the man pursuing her now is incredibly powerful.

For her, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

She said that she would only have one daughter in the future, meaning she intended to give all her assets to Lin Xiyin.

Pei Muye even thought he had misunderstood.

“You don’t need to doubt it,” Qu Jianhang said. “I earn so much money because I’m thinking that one day I can find her and give her the best life.”

Pei Muyi paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to meet her?"

Qu Jianhang fell silent.

Pei Muyi then guessed that Qu Jianhang was not as calm as he had heard.

"I need to see her." Qu Jianhang took a deep breath. "I originally wanted to tell her about this in person. But..."

Pei Muye could hear the fluctuation in her emotions.

Regardless, he hoped that Lin Xiyin would have another family member who truly loved her.

Moreover, this person is Qu Jianhang.

Pei Muye spoke up: "If you're comfortable with this, leave it to me."
