Chapter 210 A Brain the Size of a Walnut

Hearing Qu Jianhang say this, Lin Xiyin was immediately tempted.

She asked, "Mom, won't you be coming back in the next couple of days?"

Qu Jianhang said, "I think Youyou is having a lot of fun, and the temperature here is just right. How about we spend the Chinese New Year here this year?"

Lin Xiyin hesitated for a moment.

Qu Jianhang said, "There's no rush to make a decision. If you don't want to come, then we'll go back. However, if we go back to China, we'll probably have to spend the Lunar New Year at our old house. I'm worried there will be too many people and you won't be comfortable."

Lin Xiyin asked, "Won't Grandma and Grandpa be unhappy if we go abroad for the New Year?"

“No, I’ll talk to them,” Qu Jianhang said. “Do you need to discuss it with Pei Muyi?”

"Okay, then I'll tell him."

For Lin Xiyin, it doesn't matter where she spends the New Year.

As long as I'm with my family and loved ones, that's enough.

That evening, she discussed it with Pei Muye.

Pei Muye asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly say you weren't coming back?"

“My mom is a bit unconventional,” Lin Xiyin said. “She said the temperature there is just right, and I’m also a little tempted.”

It was so cold in Haicheng during the Spring Festival, with temperatures dropping to minus seven or eight degrees Celsius. You had to wear a down jacket when you went out.

“Go if you want to,” Pei Muye said. “My work arrangements are almost complete. I’ll take care of things at home later.”

"You're going too?"

“Of course,” Pei Muyi said. “You’ve gone abroad for the New Year, what’s the point of me being alone in the country?”

"But you have so many things going on at home."

“It’s nothing,” Pei Muye said. “I’ll take care of everything. Compared to them, my wife is of course more important.”

Lin Xiyin was a little embarrassed: "Then your dad..."

"Don't worry about him," Pei Muye said. "Then tell your mother that we'll arrange what we're doing and head over the day after tomorrow?"

"good."

That's settled.

When Lin Xiyin called Qu Jianhang, she casually asked, "Mom, have you told Uncle Yan about our trip abroad for the Chinese New Year?"

Qu Jianhang said, "He did say that. He has to visit relatives and friends, attend meetings, and oversee safety during the Spring Festival, so he doesn't have time to spend with us."

"That's enough." Lin Xiyin thought about how they often didn't see each other for ten days or half a month, and guessed that he probably didn't feel anything was wrong this time, so she was relieved.

The next day, Lin Xiyin began to arrange the things at hand.

Actually, the project at the school has just reached a certain stage, and it's time for everyone to have a break.

Lin Xiyin initially wanted to visit Lin Yiming to see how he was doing.

And what about Lin Zihao...? Has he reformed?

But after thinking about it, she gave up the idea, transferred some money to Lin Yiming's previous account, and didn't ask about it again.

As for the Lin family's previous attempt to sever ties with her and demand money from her, Qu Jianhang said she had already dealt with it.

Lin Xiyin didn't ask her how she handled it.

It seems that by not knowing, she can cover up the fact that the family ties she cherished in the past were a joke.

Pei Muye had applied for the flight route in advance, and this time they traveled by private jet.

On the night before she left, Lin Xiyin received another call from Yan Chengyu.

She quickly answered, "Uncle Yan."

Yan Chengyu's voice was tinged with amusement: "Ruanruan, has your school not started its summer break yet?"

"We're already on holiday," Lin Xiyin said hurriedly. "Are you still busy? Uncle Yan, is there something you need on your call?"

"Nothing much, I just thought it's almost Chinese New Year and I wanted to ask if you need anything. Uncle should also buy you a New Year's gift, and also Youyou..."

“No need, Uncle Yan,” Lin Xiyin said with a smile. “I’m all grown up now, why would I need a New Year’s gift? As for Youyou, he has so many toys he can’t even fit them all. If you really want to give him a gift, then you can give him a book, something you think is good and meaningful to him.”

"One book?" Yan Chengyu laughed and said, "That's not enough. I'll definitely send you a book, and you'll need other things too."

“Really, Uncle Yan, there’s no need,” Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and said, “You should discuss this with my mother.”

"Your mother..." Yan Chengyu paused before asking, "Did your mother say when she's coming back?"

Lin Xiyin exclaimed, "Didn't my mom tell you? We're going abroad for the New Year and won't be back until after the New Year. My mom...didn't she tell you?"

"...I already told you, I was so busy I forgot." Yan Chengyu chuckled softly. "So, when are you leaving?"

I'm leaving tomorrow.

"Be careful, and try to avoid crowded places when you get there. No matter what, the security situation abroad is not as good as in China."

"OK."

They talked for a few more minutes before hanging up.

Pei Muye put his arm around her and said, "From what Uncle Yan said, it doesn't seem like your mother told him?"

“He said he forgot…” Lin Xiyin said, “I don’t think so. How could he forget something so important?”

“That’s also possible,” Pei Muye said. “If he was distracted and not listening carefully when your mother was talking, then that’s possible.”

"I don't think Uncle Yan is that kind of person," Lin Xiyin said. "Do you think it's possible that my mother didn't tell Uncle Yan at all?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After she met Yan Chengyu, Yan Chengyu never contacted her again.

Both of these phone calls were to inquire about Qu Jianhang's whereabouts.

Is there something wrong with these two people?

“Don’t overthink it,” Pei Muyi said. “When you get there tomorrow, go ask Auntie yourself.”

That's all we can do.

Pei Muye asked her, "When I said I wanted to go, didn't your aunt say anything?"

Pei Muye is going to spend the New Year with them there, and Lin Xiyin will definitely tell Qu Jianhang.

“My mom didn’t say anything, she just said okay,” Lin Xiyin said. “She won’t make things difficult for you, so why are you being so cautious?”

"Because I'm afraid I won't treat you well enough and make your aunt unhappy," Pei Muye said, "so I still need to work harder."

“When two people are together, being good to each other is mutual. It doesn’t make sense for only you to be good to me while I just accept it.” Lin Xiyin looked up and kissed his chin: “I will be good to you too.”

Pei Muye's heart softened completely.

So this is what it's like when two people in love get along.

Their past marriage was a complete mess.

When your heart softens, one spot hardens.

Pei Muye pinned her down, and Lin Xiyin struggled for a moment: "Stop messing around, we're taking a plane tomorrow."

“You can sleep on the plane…” Pei Muye’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Or, we can try sleeping on the plane…”

"Ahhh..." Lin Xiyin covered his mouth: "You should do it now."

"You said it yourself." Pei Muye lowered his head and kissed her: "You're not allowed to beg for mercy later."

Fortunately, Pei Muye was sensible and knew that she had a long flight the next day, so he didn't bother her for too long.

Moderate sexual activity can not only bring joy to the mind and body, but also promote sleep.

Both of them slept very well and woke up looking radiant the next day.

Only Pei Yaohai knew about Pei Muyi's trip abroad.

Pei Muyi didn't even go home; he just called him to let him know.

Pei Yaohai was displeased: "You're going abroad for the New Year, and there are so many things to do at home. Who will take care of them? You also need to visit relatives and elders for the New Year. These are all your responsibilities!"

"I will call them and explain."

Pei Muye hung up the phone without saying much.

Pei Yaohai looked unhappy, and Zhou Yusu asked him what was wrong.

He said it.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yusu realized it was a golden opportunity.

Since Pei Muyi wasn't home, couldn't Pei Yunqing take his place and go to pay New Year's greetings to some elders?

In the past, Pei Muye was always the one who got to show off in these public roles.

Now it's finally her son's turn!

Zhou Yusu suppressed her joy and said to Pei Yaohai in a calm manner, "The New Year is coming soon, and Mu Ye is not at home. There are so many things to do. Especially those elders who need to be visited, let Yun Qing go?"

Pei Yaohai frowned: "Can Yun Qing handle it? Mu Ye isn't home, I'll go myself."

“Let Yunqing follow you.” Zhou Yusu was also afraid that her son would not handle things well: “Teach him the rules. Muye is the eldest brother, that’s true, but we can’t rely on Muye for everything at home. Yunqing also needs to grow up.”

Pei Yaohai nodded: "What you said makes sense."

Zhou Yusu was very happy and said, "Speaking of which, Mu Ye insisted on being with Lin Xiyin regardless of whether you objected or not. This matter..."

"What am I still objecting to!" Pei Yaohai looked at her: "Didn't I tell you who Lin Xiyin's mother is?"

"Lin Xiyin's mother?" Zhou Yusu was completely confused. "Isn't her mother Lu Xuemei?"

She was just an ordinary woman from a modest family.

"You really are..." Pei Yaohai said, "All you do is buy things all day long. Your brain, the size of a walnut kernel, is completely empty, isn't it?"

Zhou Yusu's eyes immediately reddened: "How could you say that about me?"

Pei Yaohai looked at her: "Didn't Ming Qingwan tell you either?"

Zhou Yusu was completely bewildered: "What did you say?"

Pei Yaohai said, "Lin Xiyin's mother is Qu Jianhang. You must know who Qu Jianhang is, right?"

Zhou Yusu was completely stunned, her mouth agape.

She had heard about Qu Jianhang finding her daughter.

However, she had no connection with the Qu family, and none of the ladies she knew received an invitation from the Qu family.

So they had no idea who the girl's daughter was.

She even discussed with others that this daughter must have done something wonderful in her past life to be Qu Jianhang's daughter.

How enviable!

This is like rising to the top in one step.

Was that person actually Lin Xiyin?

It turned out to be Lin Xiyin, whom she had always looked down upon?

Judging from Zhou Yusu's expression, Pei Yaohai knew that she was truly unaware of this matter.

He immediately frowned, his face full of disdain: "You're not happy even when I'm talking to you? Such a big thing, and you don't even know!"

Zhou Yusu died unjustly. Who can connect Qu Jianhang's daughter with Lin Xiyin?

Ming Qingwan, she knew everything, why didn't she tell me?

She seemed to have forgotten that she had long since looked down on her former daughter-in-law, Ming Qingwan.

They are currently looking for a better marriage partner for Pei Yunqing than the Ming family.

Lin Xiyin had no idea about these things concerning the Pei family.

She and Pei Muye went abroad and entered Qu Jianhang's manor.

The manor was ridiculously large and unbelievably beautiful.

Lin Xiyin even felt as if she had entered a royal palace.

The European-style houses are all more beautiful than the last.

The interior decoration is also magnificent.
