Chapter 179 She really got entangled with me

Lin Xiyin had almost never participated in any joint activities with Pei Muyi before.

I was one of the few people who attended that event, and that's how I met Qu Jingyou.

For Lin Xiyin, today she had put on makeup and done her hair, so she was dressed up for the occasion.

Except at home, Pei Muyi almost always wears formal attire, but today's clothes seem different.

Traditionally, suits conveyed a sense of authority and solemnity.

But today's outfit has a more fashionable and elegant feel.

The charity auction was initiated by a respected elder in the industry. Pei Muye mainly wanted to come with Lin Xiyin, and secondly, he wanted to give the elder face.

He probably wouldn't come if Lin Xiyin wasn't with him.

He said he was picking out a birthday gift for Lin Youxing, but he actually wanted to buy something for Lin Xiyin more.

The matter of the jewelry from that year was still on his mind; he couldn't get over it.

Just as the two went inside, Pei Muye's phone rang. He didn't want to answer it at first, but when he saw who was calling, he was taken aback.

Then he said to Lin Xiyin, "Wait here for me for a moment, I'm going to take this call."

Lin Xiyin nodded.

Pei Muye smiled at her and quickly walked to a quiet spot nearby.

He answered the phone: "President Qu."

The call was from Qu Jianhang.

She asked directly, "Are you with Ruan Ruan?"

"yes."

At this moment, Lin Xiyin stood there, quickly attracting everyone's attention.

Her evening gown today was simple yet sophisticated, exuding understated luxury.

The cut is perfect, and the waist-to-body ratio is almost perfect.

The occasional glimpses of skin were so white they seemed to glow.

She just stood there, seemingly surrounded by an aura, attracting not only the attention of many men, but also the envy of many women.

"Why is she here?" Ming Qingwan asked, frowning as she held Qu Lianyi's arm.

Qu Lianyi also saw Lin Xiyin.

Originally, she thought Lin Xiyin was just an insignificant little character.

Even if someone has a good-looking face, so what?

There are plenty of beautiful women out there; rich men are never short of pretty girls around them.

But she never expected that Pei Muye still cared about her.

It seems that Lin Xiyin is quite capable.

"Let's go take a look," Qu Lianyi said.

She carries the pride of the wealthy in her bones. Growing up in luxury, she always looked at people with arrogance.

Lin Xiyin saw two women walking towards her.

One of them was Ming Qingwan, whom she absolutely did not want to see.

As for the other one, Lin Xiyin wasn't interested either.

She intended to turn around and pretend she didn't see them.

But Ming Qingwan called her by her full name: "Lin Xiyin".

Lin Xiyin could only look over and say, "What a coincidence."

"What a coincidence!" Ming Qingwan said irritably. "What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Can you afford to bid on what's inside?"

Seeing her hostile demeanor, Lin Xiyin didn't tolerate it.

"What, is this your business? If not, then shut up."

Ming Qingwan was furious: "You..."

Qu Lianyi stopped her, looked at Lin Xiyin, and asked, "Did you come alone?"

The other party was rude, so Lin Xiyin retorted in kind: "What's it to you? Who are you?"

"Hey! Lin Xiyin, how can you talk like that? Do you even know who she is?" Ming Qingwan said smugly, "You probably don't know, but Sister Lianyi is Brother Muye's first love. Even now, Brother Muye still celebrates her birthday and buys her a birthday present every year!"

Qu Lianyi gently tugged at her; "Qingwan, don't say these things."

He appeared to be trying to stop them, but his face was actually full of smugness.

It's clear she's used to this kind of flattery.

If Lin Xiyin hadn't asked Pei Muyi beforehand, she would most likely have believed it.

But now, she doesn't care about first love or white moonlight anymore.

She glanced at Ming Qingwan; "She's Pei Muyi's first love, shouldn't you be jealous? Who are you trying to impress with this sisterly act?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ming Qingwan hurriedly glanced at Qu Lianyi: "Sister Lianyi, don't believe her. She's just jealous of you, that's why she's saying these things to sow discord between us!"

Qu Lianyi has never taken Ming Qingwan seriously. To her, Ming Qingwan is a fake friend and a follower. Having someone like that by her side makes everything easier.

She laughed and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? Would I listen to her stirring up trouble?"

Lin Xiyin resisted the urge to roll her eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to the two of them.

If she hadn't been waiting for Pei Muye here, she would have left long ago.

“Exactly,” Ming Qingwan said smugly, “Lin Xiyin, you’re just jealous of my relationship with Sister Lianyi, aren’t you? Well, I don’t think you have any friends. By the way, you’re not here tonight… to see Brother Muye, are you? You two are divorced, you wouldn’t still be so shameless as to cling to him, would you?”

Qu Lianyi frowned and looked over: "You're divorced, so you should keep your distance. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

Lin Xiyin simply couldn't listen to it anymore.

Whoever she's looking for, what does it have to do with them?

Are these two mentally ill?

Lin Xiyin didn't want to say another word and turned to walk inside.

She wasn't going to wait for Pei Muye anymore; she could just send him a message later to tell him where she was.

“I think she’s just feeling guilty,” Ming Qingwan said. “After all, she can’t find a man with better conditions than Mu Ye, so she can only cling to her ex-husband.”

Qu Lianyi said, "She doesn't even know if she has the ability."

"By the way, Sister Lianyi," Ming Qingwan asked, "I heard that your cousin... her daughter has been found?"

Speaking of this, Qu Lianyi became irritated: "Yes. I don't know where they found it, but the whole family treats it like a treasure."

Ming Qingwan said, "But honestly, she's really lucky. She's Qu Jianhang's daughter; she'll never have to struggle in her life."

Although Qu Lianyi also shares the surname Qu, her family branched out from the rest of the family. The Qu family's glory had absolutely nothing to do with her family.

During holidays, when her parents went to visit her, they would only stay for a short while before leaving, without even getting a meal.

The Qu family never wanted to maintain this kinship.

For so many years, their family has been clinging to the Qu family and spreading rumors about their kinship.

It can only be said that Qu Lianyi's family has done well in business over the years, which is also due to the Qu family's influence.

As for the Qu family, they turned a blind eye to their actions.

After all, they were one family five hundred years ago, and Qu Lianyi's family has done nothing wrong. It doesn't matter who gets the project; letting them make some money is not a big deal.

Qu Jianhang was practically a legendary figure in the Qu family.

Now, the entire Qu family's assets probably can't compare to Qu Jianhang's personal wealth.

Qu Lianyi had met this cousin before and wanted to make an appearance in front of her so that she would remember her.

Even so, Qu Lianyi found it to be a difficult task.

She wanted to curry favor with those who wouldn't even give her such an opportunity.

But some unknown country girl was so lucky that she became Qu Jianhang's daughter.

Thinking of this, Qu Lianyi felt envious, jealous, and resentful.

However, if she could marry Pei Muye, she wouldn't be any worse off than Dangqu Jianhang's daughter.

She had heard that Pei Muye would be coming tonight, so she dressed up for the occasion.

I never expected to run into Lin Xiyin.

She must have heard that Pei Muye was coming, so she came to intercept him.

Ming Qingwan said, "Sister Lianyi, I think you should still try to build a good relationship with her daughter."

A wild girl who appeared out of nowhere should be easy to handle.

Qu Lianyi also thought of this relationship.

She said, "Tomorrow is her welcome banquet, and my family will be there too. Don't worry, I've already thought it all through."

If he can't get close to Qu Jianhang, can't he at least control a wild girl?

Once that wild girl is completely obedient to her, getting close to Qu Jianhang will be a piece of cake.

Ming Qingwan suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Brother Muye."

Qu Lianyi also looked up.

The man walking this way is none other than Pei Muye.

His attire today was particularly eye-catching.

The man, who was usually so dignified and solemn, was now like a male model on a catwalk, dazzlingly bright.

Yet, she possessed a far greater air of nobility than those celebrities, and her aura was simply irresistible.

The black, stylish suit was accented with diagonal black stripes, making him appear even more energetic.

Ming Qingwan looked at the diagonal striped decoration and felt inexplicably familiar with it.

"Mu Ye," Qu Lianyi spoke up, "What a coincidence?"

Pei Muye saw them and nodded as a greeting.

He didn't stop and continued walking forward. Not seeing Lin Xiyin, he dialed her number on his phone.

Qu Jianhang just called him to talk about the auction.

Qu Jianhang meant that Lin Xiyin should buy whatever she wanted.

The black card she gave Lin Xiyin was never used by Lin Xiyin.

Pei Muye was thinking about the gift he would give to Lin Xiyin.

But Qu Jianhang wouldn't allow it.

Pei Muye spoke to her for a few more minutes on the phone.

Qu Jianhang finally conceded.

Pei Muye could buy Lin Youxing's gifts casually.

But Lin Xiyin's things were bought with her own money.

What could Pei Muye do?

Should we argue with her?

Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, he is the one who is ultimately in the wrong.

He could only agree with her for the time being, and then secretly buy things for Lin Xiyin.

Or you can buy it but not receive it immediately, and then deliver it a few days later.

Qu Jianhang couldn't possibly keep an eye on whether Lin Xiyin was sending him gifts every day.

The call connected, and Pei Muyi asked, "Why haven't I seen you? Where did you go?"

"It's in the small hall by the entrance," Lin Xiyin said. "Have you arrived?"

"You're here." Pei Muyi took a few steps inside. "I see you."

The grandson of the elder who hosted the banquet was greeting guests in the hall. When he saw Pei Muye, he came over to greet him from afar.

Pei Muye shook hands with him, and before he could say anything, he said, "Wait a moment, I'm going to pick someone up."

The man was stunned, completely bewildered that someone who could command Pei Muye's attention must be so important.

Then, he watched as Pei Muye went to the small hall next door, and when he came back, he was accompanied by a woman in a black evening dress.

The woman's makeup was very light, but her features were exquisite and stunning.

The dress she wore had only a few stripes as decoration in the details, making it simple yet elegant.

The subtle pattern on Pei Muye's suit echoes the design.

It's obviously a couple's outfit.

This is the first time I've seen Pei Muyi bring a female companion on an appearance, and he seems to value it so much.

Many people present were drawn to it.

Ming Qingwan also saw it: "Sister Lianyi, look! That woman Lin Xiyin has indeed become entangled with Brother Muye!"
