Chapter 247 No cat is immune to stealing fish

Lin Xiyin didn't hide anything and told him everything.

Pei Muye was furious when he heard this.

“Don’t worry about this,” Pei Muye said. “I’ll have someone deal with them.”

“I can handle it,” Lin Xiyin said. “Come on when I can’t handle it anymore.”

"I don't want you to face these rotten people," Pei Muye said. "Don't see her. What's the point of seeing someone like that?"

"Alright."

Pei Muye kissed her: "Don't worry, this won't happen again."

After seeing him off at the airport, Lin Xiyin and he parted with reluctance.

"I'll be back in two days." Pei Muyi hugged her tightly, refusing to let go. "I don't want to go on business trips anymore."

"It's alright." Lin Xiyin recovered: "I can handle two or three days."

"I don't accept it. I can't sleep at night because I think about you so much."

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

After Lin Xiyin left, Pei Muye made a few phone calls.

Lin Xiyin listened to him but did not see Ming Qingwan.

She didn't expect that Ming Qingwan would take the initiative to call her and ask her to meet.

Lin Xiyin was really curious about what Ming Qingwan wanted to do when she met her.

She arrived on time.

She noticed that Ming Qingwan really wasn't as pretty as before.

It feels like ages since we last met.

Actually, it wasn't long before the two met at the banquet where Qu Jianhang announced her identity.

At that time, Lin Xiyin felt that Ming Qingwan looked much more haggard.

She used to be like a pure and innocent white flower, and even the angle of her smile was calculated.

But now, her flower looks like it's about to wither.

Ming Qingwan's life was indeed not good. Pei Muye did not give her a chance, and the Ming family's business was getting worse year by year.

Ming Qingwan has her eye on Pei Muye; with such high standards, it's natural she wouldn't be interested in anyone else.

But her family couldn't keep waiting for her to remain unmarried.

At her age, if she doesn't get married soon, she'll be considered an old maid.

Moreover, after she turned twenty-five, her figure and skin were not as good as before.

Even though she's very careful, she still has freckles on her face, and her makeup doesn't adhere well.

Ming Qingwan went for cosmetic surgery and had minor procedures done in several places, but the result was that her face looked a bit stiff, especially when she smiled, her cheekbones looked very prominent.

It looks fake.

Lin Xiyin didn't want to look at her even once more, and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Ming Qingwan was in even worse shape today; her face was stiff and her eyes were red.

"Lin Xiyin, the matter between the two of us is settled. You can come to me and do whatever you want, but what kind of business are you trying to ruin?"

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not interested in your family's business. You know who my mother is; she gave me most of her assets. I really don't care about your family's business."

"You!" Ming Qingwan gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening even more: "Don't be so smug!"

"Why can't I be proud? My lover is Pei Muye, he's rich, powerful, and handsome, and he's devoted to me. My child is smart, well-behaved, and sensible. My mother is the richest woman in China... Tell me, why can't I be proud?"

Ming Qingwan was furious: "Stop being so arrogant!"

Lin Xiyin said, "Ming Qingwan, I find it strange. You come from a good family and are good-looking, so why did you choose to embark on such a path of no return?"

"How did it become a road of no return?"

“Pei Muye was already married before, yet you still have all sorts of feelings for him. Why do you have to be a mistress? Even now, although we haven't remarried, we are still boyfriend and girlfriend. He doesn't like you, so why do you have to go to such lengths to ruin our relationship?”

"You think I made Jiang Yufan do all these things? Actually, I didn't even need to say anything; she just couldn't stand you."

“I know,” Lin Xiyin said. “You two, how should I put it, are birds of a feather. She’s jealous of me, and you, you’re unrealistically coveting things that don’t belong to you.”

"Who's being unrealistic?"

"If Pei Muyi likes you, you don't need to fight for him or snatch him away. I'll give him to you."

"You have no idea... how I feel about him. All these years, he's the only person I've ever loved! Back then, if you hadn't interfered, I would have been the one to marry him!"

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "How come I remember someone telling me that Qu Lianyi was Pei Muyi's first love?"

"I'm not lying, Sister Lianyi is the only girlfriend that Brother Muye has ever admitted to."

"He admitted it himself?"

Ming Qingwan's face turned red: "Back then, he only had Sister Lianyi by his side! Everyone assumed that Sister Lianyi was his girlfriend!"

“If he didn’t admit it himself, then it doesn’t count,” Lin Xiyin said. “Ming Qingwan, why did you do this? What did you gain in the end?”

I got nothing.

The family business was also affected.

But how could she accept that?

If at the beginning, her feelings for Pei Muye were simply a matter of liking him and wanting to snatch him away from Lin Xiyin.

But now, looking at Lin Xiyin's life, Ming Qingwan could no longer control her jealousy and resentment.

Why does she get to live such a good life?

Not only did she reunite with Pei Muyi, but she was also Qu Jianhang's daughter.

Actually, she was also jealous of Qu Lianyi, because she really thought that Qu Lianyi was Pei Muye's first love and white moonlight.

But now, the person she is most jealous of is Lin Xiyin.

This woman from a humble family, whom she had previously looked down upon, turned out to be the ultimate winner.

"What you're relying on is nothing more than Qu Jianhang being your mother!"

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "You say this to me now, but three years ago, or even longer, didn't your sense of superiority in front of me also come from your family? What, back then you could say I came from a humble family, but now that my mother is richer than your family, you say I'm relying on her. Ming Qingwan, you can't be so hypocritical."

"I'm not going to talk to you about that. I'm here to tell you what you're up to. Come at me, and don't try to affect my business!"

Lin Xiyin shook her head: "How can you still not understand? What you did doesn't matter to me. The person who's most angry is Pei Muye. I don't understand those businesses and projects. Who do you think caused your family's business to be affected?"

“Brother Muye?” Ming Qingwan bit her lower lip hard. “Impossible! He wouldn’t do this to me…”

"Who are you to him? Why can't he treat you like this? Or do you think you deserve his pity?"

Ming Qingwan had long since come to terms with reality.

But she couldn't bear to see Lin Xiyin doing well.

That's why they made Jiang Yufan do that kind of thing.

Even if Pei Muye doesn't end up with her, she doesn't want to see Pei Muye and Lin Xiyin together.

"Are you stupid?" Lin Xiyin said, "No matter what you do, it will leave a trace. Pei Muyi and I are not the same as we were three years ago. We trust each other now, and whatever you do will not affect our relationship."

“Men are all fickle,” Ming Qingwan said. “It won’t be long before he gets tired of you…”

“Then we would have broken up even without you saying so,” Lin Xiyin said. “But you used such underhanded methods to drive a wedge between us. He targeted your family’s business. Are you being wronged?”

"He wouldn't do this to me..."

"Who do you think you are?" Lin Xiyin was speechless. "I'm just asking you, have you seen him in the past few years? He doesn't even want to see you once. How do you know he still has feelings for you?"

Ming Qingwan simply didn't want to face reality.

She was unwilling to accept it; why could Lin Xiyin have such a happy ending?

She started from a higher point than Lin Xiyin, but ended up losing so badly.

Even the gun that Jiang Yufan used to hurt people was discovered.

Ming Qingwan has run out of cards to play.

She couldn't even rely on Qu Lianyi.

Qu Lianyi had told her not to worry before, but until now, she hasn't made any move.

Although Qu Lianyi was involved in the photo incident, if the investigation were to continue, it would only lead back to her.

Ming Qingwan suddenly realized this and understood that perhaps Qu Lianyi was afraid of being exposed, which was why she always made her take the lead in everything.

That way, even if something happens, it won't be her problem.

She's the only one who looks like a sucker!

Being used as a pawn!

She went ahead and made herself a target, allowing others to use her as a pawn.

Ming Qingwan forgot her anger: "Yes, he has been heartless and ungrateful to me, but what about Qu Lianyi? How much credibility can a man's words have? Lin Xiyin, don't deceive yourself. He definitely can't forget Qu Lianyi. Even if it's in the past, Qu Lianyi will still hold a place in his heart!"

Even if she can't win, she'll still make Lin Xiyin feel disgusted!

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Everyone has a past. He loves me and the children now, and that's enough. I don't ask for much more."

Ming Qingwan's punch landed on cotton.

She said angrily, "Lin Xiyin, I'm serious, and this is advice for you. Qu Lianyi still doesn't have a man by her side. Who knows, one day she might get entangled with Pei Muye. If you two stay together for a long time, can you guarantee that Pei Muye won't cheat on you?"

"Oh, so you're saying that to avoid Pei Muyi cheating on me in the future, I should break up with him now? So, according to you, I don't need to eat at all if I'm afraid of choking on my food."

"You don't need to be so smug. Pei Muyi can't love you forever. There's no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish, and a man's true feelings can't last more than a few years. Lin Xiyin, I'm waiting..."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.

It was a call from home.

She answered the phone, listened for a few words, and her expression changed drastically: "Why do you want me to go to that godforsaken place? I'm not going!"

She heard something said over there, and her face grew even paler.

After hanging up the phone, she looked at her with resentment in her eyes: "It was you, wasn't it? You were the one who put pressure on my family to send me abroad?"

Lin Xiyin shrugged: "No, I said I don't get involved in these things, Pei Muye did it all. Why don't you ask Qu Lianyi how things are going on her end?"

Ming Qingwan glared at her resentfully for a moment, then quickly called Qu Lianyi.

Qu Lianyi was also arguing with her family.

The family business was already declining, and now they were at their wits' end.

Only then did the family realize that it was because Qu Lianyi had offended Pei Muye!

Pei Muye said he could let them go, but his only condition was that Qu Lianyi be sent abroad and never come back!
