Chapter 60 She is a birthing machine

With things having escalated to this point, Lin Xiyin no longer wanted to continue the peaceful facade of life in the Pei family.

She abandoned Ming Qingwan and went straight inside to find Pei Yaohai.

If there's one normal person left in this family, it's probably Pei Yaohai.

He lacked the innate arrogance and haughtiness often found in members of powerful and wealthy families.

In fact, to Lin Xiyin, he was a very kind and gentle elder.

He was painting in his study.

After knocking and entering, Lin Xiyin said directly, "Dad, there's something I need your help with."

Pei Yaohai put down his paintbrush: "Sit down and let's talk."

Lin Xiyin told everyone about her pregnancy, and then added, "Although I am pregnant, it will not affect my decision to get a divorce."

Pei Yaohai was a little surprised, then sighed: "He is the first great-grandson of the Pei family. If my father were still alive, he would definitely be very happy."

Lin Xiyin said, "It doesn't necessarily mean he's a grandson."

"It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl," Pei Yaohai said. "It's not like we're only having one child."

Lin Xiyin thought about it and felt that Pei Muye kept her around to treat her as a breeding machine.

Seeing the puzzled look on Lin Xiyin's face, Pei Yaohai said, "To be frank, our family is so big and powerful, how can we only have one child? Mu Ye promised the old man before he got married that he would have at least two children."

Lin Xiyin just wanted to laugh.

She is Pei Muye's wife, and no one has ever discussed with her how many children she wants to have.

Fortunately, she no longer has to worry about this problem.

She said, "After my divorce from Pei Muyi, there must be many people who want to have his children, so I won't be the only one."

Pei Yaohai said, "If possible, I certainly hope you don't get divorced. No matter what, divorce doesn't sound good. So what are your plans? What about the children…?"

Lin Xiyin said directly, "Although it's selfish to say this, if he doesn't agree to a divorce, I don't want to keep this child."

"you……"

"Dad, please, I'm begging you."

Pei Yaohai waved his hand: "You go out first, let me think about it."

Lin Xiyin said, "I'll move out first. I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Pei Yaohai didn't speak. Lin Xiyin bowed to him and turned to leave.

She didn't even go upstairs to pack her things; she just left.

As I walked outside the villa and took out my phone to hail a taxi, I noticed that Pei Muyi had sent me a message and I had several missed calls.

Lin Xiyin ignored it and opened the mini-program to hail a ride.

When she reached the entrance of the residential area, the car arrived just in time. She got in without hesitation and gave the address she had previously rented.

Back there, Lin Xiyin sent a message to Xiao Ruoyi, then turned off her phone, washed up, and went to sleep.

She admitted that after hearing Ming Qingwan's words, she realized that Pei Muye was using her as a breeding machine, so she simply stopped acting.

There's a kind of "what's the point" mentality.

Whatever.

She just wants a divorce.

Lin Xiyin slept until 10 a.m. the next day.

Feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Lin Xiyin ate breakfast at a fast food restaurant downstairs, and only turned on her phone when she was paying.

A lot of messages popped up in no time.

Then the phone rang.

She answered.

Xiao Ruoyi said on the other end, "Ruan Ruan, are you alright? Pei Muye called me like crazy last night."

"Ignore him," Lin Xiyin said. "I've moved out."

“I knew it,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “I told him you wanted some peace and quiet.”

"Hmm." Lin Xiyin smiled. "I'm fine."

"Then move in with me."

"No, I have to go to school in a bit. The teacher said there's a project there."

"Starting work so early? It's only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

“Projects are highly competitive and require fierce competition,” Lin Xiyin said. “Teachers have it tough too.”

"Okay, then take care of yourself, and call me if anything happens."

Lin Xiyin chatted with her for a few minutes, then ignored all other messages on her phone and took a taxi directly to the hospital.

After driving her own car and paying a parking fee, Lin Xiyin went to Ocean University.

After parking the car, Lin Xiyin picked up her bag and walked towards Ji Mingtang's office.

During the winter break, the school was very quiet, and there were hardly any people to be seen.

Lin Xiyin had specifically asked Ji Mingtang beforehand that this project involved current master's and doctoral students.

Master's students might be a little better off, but doctoral students almost always work on projects with their supervisors and earn income. Some even have their own independent research projects and experiments.

Firstly, it depends on the mentor's ability and willingness to let go, since many mentors only care about enriching themselves and never care about the well-being of their students.

Secondly, it also depends on whether the student has real skills.

A supervisor has neither the time nor the obligation to drag an incompetent person into doing research.

While the ultimate goal is to make money, that's only one part of it.

Many more projects are for national development and social progress.

Anyone can say high-sounding words, but when it comes to the most basic things, mentors and schools also need to make a living.

When Lin Xiyin arrived at the agreed-upon place, she saw several students inside, but Ji Mingtang had not yet arrived.

"You're also Professor Ji's student?"

A girl with short hair walked over and asked.

"Yes, that's me." Lin Xiyin nodded. "Hello, I'm Lin Xiyin."

"My name is Wu Xinyue." Wu Xinyue was cheerful and outgoing: "Are you a first-year graduate student?"

Lin Xiyin was wearing a white down jacket, light blue jeans, and simple white sneakers.

She wore her hair in a simple bun, casual yet radiating youth and energy.

In addition, her delicate features and porcelain-white face made her look only twenty years old.

But now Professor Ji only supervises master's and doctoral students. Although Lin Xiyin looks like an undergraduate, Wu Xinyue wouldn't guess in that direction.

"I'm pursuing a doctorate," Lin Xiyin answered truthfully. "I'm a freshman in March."

Wu Xinyue was surprised: "But you look very young."

"Thank you." Lin Xiyin smiled. "Are all pretty girls so good at talking?"

Wu Xinyue was a sucker for good looks, and after exchanging a few words with Lin Xiyin, she liked her even more: "Sister, you're the prettiest one!"

Someone nearby spoke up: "Wu Xinyue, what are you doing?"

Wu Xinyue looked over, her smile fading considerably: "Huo Yunying, is something the matter?"

"Have you finished processing the data I gave you last time?"

Lin Xiyin looked over and saw a tall, beautiful girl with an arrogant and dissatisfied expression on her face.

Wu Xinyue said, "I've finished it and posted it in the group."

After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and said, "By the way, sister, I'll add you to the group."

Lin Xiyin also took out her phone: "Then let's add each other as friends first."

After adding each other as friends, Wu Xinyue quickly added Lin Xiyin to a group called "Make a fortune with Teacher Ji".

"Who is she?" Huo Yunying walked over, her gaze towards Lin Xiyin filled with hostility.

"She's also Professor Ji's student." Wu Xinyue took Lin Xiyin's hand and said, "Let me introduce you all. This lady is Professor Ji's doctoral freshman, Lin Xiyin."

Lin Xiyin spoke in a cool voice: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Xiyin."

There were only seven or eight people in the room, with Wu Xinyue and Huo Yunying being the only girls, and the rest being boys.

Lin Xiyin's clothes were unbranded, and her bag wasn't a designer brand either; only her face was truly beautiful.

Huo Yunying calmly withdrew her gaze and asked, "Why haven't I heard the teacher mention this? Is he really a doctoral freshman?"

Sensing the hostility in her tone, Lin Xiyin remained silent.

Wu Xinyue said, "Is that even a lie? Teacher Ji will be here in a little while."

The others also introduced themselves, which was a way of acknowledging Lin Xiyin's identity.

Huo Yunyao gave a soft hum.

Wu Xinyue pulled Lin Xiyin aside and said softly, "She has a spoiled princess temper, so we don't really pay attention to her. This project was invested in by her family... Anyway, just keep that in mind."

Lin Xiyin smiled at her: "Thank you for telling me all this."

Wu Xinyue was whispering to her, while the other boys were also chatting, seemingly about games.

The room suddenly fell silent.

It was as if the bustling market had been put on pause.

Lin Xiyin followed Wu Xinyue's gaze.

They saw a boy in a black down jacket appear at the door.

The newcomer looked like he had just come of age; he was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, yet he had the thinness typical of a young person.

Lin Xiyin's gaze fell on his face.

She had met Chi Tianlin, Huo Xianyang, Lu Zuofan, and even the man beside her in bed—all of them were exceptionally handsome men.

But the boy in front of me had delicate features, like a character from an anime.

He has fair skin and handsome features, but his expression is cold.

Dressed all in black, with his backpack held in one hand, he exuded an air of untamed arrogance.

She has a good-looking, cool, and clean aura; in the entertainment industry, she could debut right away.

Lin Xiyin had to admit that this was the most handsome boy she had ever seen.

There is no other.

Wu Xinyue whispered to Lin Xiyin, "His name is Li Xingzhi. He is also Teacher Ji's student. He is the youngest among us, but he is very capable."

Lin Xiyin glanced at Wu Xinyue and felt that she was a little afraid of Li Xingzhi and had no intention of introducing herself to her at all.

Huo Yunying went up to him and said, "Li Xingzhi, you're here! Happy New Year!"

Lin Xiyin thought that since they were classmates, Li Xingzhi would at least greet Huo Yunying.

To everyone's surprise, he slung his bag over his shoulder and walked straight inside, ignoring Huo Yunying completely and not even glancing at her.

Lin Xiyin was stunned for a moment.

Wu Xinyue whispered again, "He has a terrible temper, I don't even dare to talk to him."

Looking at Huo Yunying again, Lin Xiyin originally thought she would be angry, but after standing there for a few seconds, she smiled again and walked towards Li Xingzhi.

Wu Xinyue added, "I think Huo Yunying might like him... but Li Xingzhi never pays any attention to her."

Lin Xiyin noticed it too.

Judging from Huo Yunying's arrogant demeanor, she probably wouldn't be able to let go of her pride and airs unless she liked someone.

But she's here to learn, so she can't worry about anything else.

"The teacher is here!"

Someone shouted something, and everyone looked towards the classroom door.

Ji Mingtang appeared before everyone.

He glanced at Lin Xiyin first, then smiled and said, "Everyone's here quite early. How was your New Year?"

Everyone greeted him enthusiastically, and it was clear that the teacher and students had a good relationship and weren't too nervous.

Ji Mingtang walked over to Lin Xiyin, patted her on the shoulder, and then said, "Lin Xiyin, my doctoral student, you will be working with everyone from now on."

Lin Xiyin nodded slightly: "Please guide me in the future."
