Chapter 73 Who spread this rumor!

Lin Xiyin said, "I'm sorry, I'm very busy and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you here."

"Are you forcing me to take Chi Tianlin to court?"

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Go ahead and sue me. What does it have to do with me? Didn't you say he had ulterior motives for getting close to me? Why should I care whether he lives or dies?"

The stone he lifted himself fell on his own foot.

Pei Muye pursed his lips and said, "You are still my wife. I am sick, and you should be by my side."

Before Lin Xiyin could say anything, he added, "Consider this... the last thing I ask you to do before the divorce."

Lin Xiyin asked him, "After this incident, will President Pei agree to a divorce? Can I still trust you? You promised to show me the divorce agreement on the sixth day of the new year, but you haven't given it to me yet."

“Because you are pregnant, this is an unexpected situation,” Pei Muye said. “It’s not that I’m going back on my word. You can still believe what I say.”

"So, you mean we'll get a divorce once you're better?"

Pei Muye asked her, "What have you thought about the child?"

Lin Xiyin said expressionlessly, "My thoughts will not change."

Pei Muye looked at her for a few seconds, then looked away: "Let's talk about it after I'm discharged from the hospital."

There was a sudden noise outside the ward, and then the door was pushed open, and a slender figure hurriedly walked in.

Lin Xiyin watched as Ming Qingwan walked to the bedside and took Pei Muye's hand: "Brother Muye, what happened to you? You were fine yesterday, how come you're suddenly in the hospital? You scared me to death!"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were red; she looked utterly pitiful.

"I'm fine." Pei Muye withdrew his hand and smiled. "Don't worry."

Lin Xiyin said coldly, "You two talk, I'll go first."

Pei Muye stopped her: "Go back and pack your things, mine and yours. The doctor said it's best to stay for three days."

Lin Xiyin left without looking back.

Pei Muyi must be regretting not getting a divorce sooner now, right?

Otherwise, Ming Qingwan could have a legitimate reason to take care of him.

Lin Xiyin was angry, but at this time, Pei Muye was hospitalized, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

The main issue is that divorce, a powerful weapon, is in Pei Muye's hands.

Lin Xiyin returned to the Pei family.

Fortunately, at this time, only the servants were in the Pei family; the rest of the family was not there.

She went upstairs to pack some things for Pei Muye.

Ironically, over the past few years, she has devoted herself to taking care of Pei Muye.

She, who couldn't even take care of herself, learned a lot of things in order to make Pei Muye comfortable.

Lin Xiyin has learned most of everything except for cooking, from clothing coordination and organization to flower arranging and musical instruments.

Looking back now, I realize how pathetic and laughable I was back then.

Back at the hospital, just as Lin Xiyin stepped out of the elevator, someone called out to her.

"elder sister!"

Lin Xiyin recognized the somewhat familiar voice, turned around, and sure enough, saw Qu Jingyou.

"Sister!" Qu Jingyou ran over: "It really is you! What brings you to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Xiyin smiled at her: "I'm fine, I came here... to take care of the patient. What about you? What happened?"

"I'm fine. It was my brother who fell and broke his leg."

Lin Xiyin had only met Qu Jingyou a few times, and she didn't really like her aloof older brother.

She thought for a moment before asking, "Is it serious? Does it require surgery?"

"No surgery is needed; the cast is in place. However, he has several stitches in one spot, and my mother wants him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few days."

"That's good." Lin Xiyin quite liked Qu Jingyou, but unfortunately, her family protected her too well.

If she gets close to her, the other person will probably question her motives.

Lin Xiyin said, "Then you should go and get busy."

Qu Jingyou looked at her expectantly: "Sister, you said we'd have a meal together last time. Now that you're here to take care of the patient, how about we meet at the hospital cafeteria?"

Looking into her big, watery eyes, Lin Xiyin simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She could only nod: "Okay, then... we'll keep in touch by phone."

Qu Jingyou was immediately delighted: "Great!"

When Lin Xiyin returned to the ward, Ming Qingwan had already left. Only Pei Muyi was leaning against the headboard, looking at documents on his tablet.

"You're back." Pei Muyi frowned when he saw her: "Why did you bring so much stuff?"

Lin Xiyin put the bag aside and began packing: "These are all things you'll need."

“Lin Xiyin, you’re pregnant now…” Pei Muye sighed softly, “I called you here not to do any work.”

"Didn't you tell me to go back and pack my things?"

“But I didn’t ask you to bring so much stuff.” Pei Muye beckoned, “Come sit down.”

Lin Xiyin ignored him and continued packing her things.

Pei Muye threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.

Lin Xiyin hurriedly came over and pressed him down: "What are you doing? Can you even move right now?"

"Who told you to disobey me?"

Lin Xiyin didn't look at him, but simply covered him with the blanket again: "If you keep this up, I'll call the doctor."

"Okay, I'll be good." Pei Muyi obediently lay down: "You lie down too."

There was also a bed next to it.

It's obviously for people who are accompanying patients.

Lin Xiyin didn't say anything, and silently packed everything up.

She glanced at Pei Muye unintentionally and saw that he was looking at her calmly with his thin lips pressed together.

Lin Xiyin quickly looked away.

After tidying up, she took out a book and sat on the sofa to read.

Pei Muye had seen her reading many times.

Most of the time, Lin Xiyin kept her back straight and her posture serious.

But there were also a few occasions when she nestled on the sofa, making her look petite.

The books rested on her bent knees, her long skirt concealing her calves but revealing her slender ankles and jade-like toes.

Now, she will no longer show Pei Muye that charming and innocent look.

Sitting upright and meticulous.

Yet, despite all this, her refined and scholarly air still makes her captivating.

Lin Xiyin originally intended to pass the time by reading books.

Because she didn't want to stare at Pei Muye.

She didn't even want to talk to Pei Muye much.

But as she looked at it, she became mesmerized.

She didn't know how much time had passed before her phone rang, bringing her back to reality.

She answered, "Yiyi."

"Ruanruan, are you at school? Which building? My mom made some soup, I'll bring it to you."

"I'm not at school." Lin Xiyin said a little embarrassedly, "Take it back and drink it yourself."

"Where have you been?" Xiao Ruoyi said, "You should eat more nutritious food now, instead of always eating at the school cafeteria."

"I'll tell you later," Lin Xiyin said. "I know, I eat very well."

After exchanging a few more words, Lin Xiyin hung up the phone.

She briefly edited the events of last night and Pei Muyi's injury, and sent it to Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi imagined a dramatic scene of two men vying for one woman.

After chatting with Lin Xiyin for a few more minutes, she called Huo Xianyang.

“Your cousin assaulted someone. Be prepared to be his defense lawyer.”

Huo Xianyang asked in surprise, "Chi Tianlin? Hitting someone? How could that be?"

Chi Tianlin hasn't laid a hand on anyone for years.

With his status, he could simply give orders to his subordinates to do whatever he wanted.

How could I possibly do it myself?

Xiao Ruoyi said, "How is it impossible? He beat Pei Muye up. Pei Muye broke his ribs and was hospitalized."

Huo Xianyang gasped: "He beat up Pei Muye?"

Xiao Ruoyi briefly recounted what happened last night.

After listening, Huo Xianyang remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Pei Muye is no good either. He went to catch his wife cheating, and he got beaten up. The one who should have been beaten up was Chi Tianlin."

Xiao Ruoyi scolded him: "What do you mean by catching someone in the act! Don't talk nonsense! Our Ruan Ruan is not that kind of person!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Huo Xianyang changed the subject: "Where are you? Want to have lunch together?"

Xiao Ruoyi hung up the phone immediately.

Huo Xianyang smiled helplessly and called Chi Tianlin again.

After fermenting last night, the bruises on Chi Tianlin's face became even more severe.

Unable to go out and see anyone, he had no choice but to stay home to recover from his injuries.

But in all these years, apart from the fight with Pei Muye when he was in school, when has he ever been beaten up?

But Pei Muye deliberately aimed his punches at his face.

She's definitely jealous that he's more handsome than her!

What a scoundrel!

After answering Huo Xianyang's call, Chi Tianlin's tone was also unpleasant: "What's up?"

Huo Xianyang asked directly, "You hit Pei Muye?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Tianlin became furious: "I hit him, and he hit me back! My face is all swollen now!"

"You shouldn't have hit him so hard. I heard he broke a bone."

Chi Tianlin was startled: "Who? What's wrong?"

"Pei Muye, you broke your leg, because you hit me."

Chi Tianlin almost jumped up: "Who the hell spread this rumor? I'm going to sue them for defamation!"

"Who are you suing? Who's spreading rumors? Pei Muyi is in the hospital!"

"real?"

"Really."

“Impossible,” Chi Tianlin said. “Do you think Pei Muyi is someone to be trifled with? If I fight him, what advantage could I possibly gain? I’d be pulled apart by that brat Lu Zuofan in no time.”

"But it's a fact that he was hospitalized with a broken bone."

"I didn't hit him!"

"Alright, it's not best if it's not you, otherwise I'm afraid Pei Muye will sue you for intentional assault."

"He'll sue me for the life of his own accusation!" Chi Tianlin was furious. "He started it!"

Huo Xianyang had a terrible headache: "That's all because you took someone else's wife to play mahjong."

"They're getting a divorce anyway, why is he being so nosy!"

"You said you wanted him, but they're not divorced yet. Doesn't Pei Muyi have any pride? He'd take anyone else, but it has to be you, his arch-enemy. No man could stand that!"

"I didn't publicize it or announce it to the world. I just wanted to make a friend, why is it so hard?"

Huo Xianyang said to him seriously, "Lin Xiyin has Pei Muye's label on her, so no one will believe that you really just want to be friends with her."

"People with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

"How dare you talk about other people like that?" Huo Xianyang said, "Are you clean?"

“At least in this matter, I’m clean.” Chi Tianlin suddenly remembered: “Where is Pei Muyi hospitalized?”

"how?"

"Since I was the one who made the call, of course I have to visit the sick person."

Huo Xianyang almost burst out laughing: "Stop stirring things up, or Pei Muye might really sue you."

Chi Tianlin ignored him and hung up the phone.

He thought for a moment and sent a message to Lin Xiyin: Did you know that Pei Muye is hospitalized?
