Chapter 82 I Need to Settle Things With Her

Lin Xiyin walked in, and Lu Xuemei quickly said, "Ruanruan, you're here."

Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement, then asked, "What's going on?"

"That beast!" Lin Yiming said angrily, "Ruan Ruan, you're right. The more I think about it, the more I feel it's his fault, so I made him kneel here to reflect on his actions!"

Lu Xuemei also said, "That's right, Ruanruan, we've been more than kind to Zihao, we never expected him to do something like this!"

For a moment, Lin Xiyin thought she had gone to the wrong house.

Since Lin Zihao came to their home, the elderly couple have treated him better than their own son.

If your own son makes a mistake, you might scold him or hit him a couple of times.

Lin Zihao, however, is different.

He lived the life of a pampered young master.

Lin Xiyin had several times wondered if Lin Zihao was actually her parents' child.

But she also knew that was impossible.

Lin Zihao is indeed her uncle's child.

Actually, there are reasons why Lin Yiming and his wife treat Lin Zihao so well.

Before Lin Xiyin's uncle and aunt had their accident, Lin Yiming and his wife had always been particularly fond of Lin Zihao.

But at that time, Lin Zihao's parents were still alive, and there was no way the two of them could bypass his biological parents.

Later, when Lin Zihao came to their house, their kindness towards him intensified.

Lin Xiyin could only explain their behavior by saying that they preferred sons to daughters.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how anyone could dislike their own child and prefer a relative's child.

If Lin Xiyin were still a child, she might have been jealous, sad, or hysterical.

In more serious cases, it could even cause psychological trauma.

But Lin Xiyin was glad that she was mature enough when Lin Zihao came.

She might feel sad and upset, but she is also more rational.

Now that her parents have suddenly come to their senses, Lin Xiyin is at a loss.

Lu Xuemei pulled Lin Xiyin down to sit, held her hand, and began to wipe away her tears: "Your father and I feel more and more sorry for you the more we think about it. Yes, Zihao lost his parents, and we all felt sorry for him. He's younger than you, so we spoiled him a bit. Who knew he would go down the wrong path..."

His voice choked with emotion, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Yiming sighed and said, "It's all my fault. My older brother only has one child, and you're our only daughter. The future of the Lin family rests on Zihao. My older brother helped me before, so I thought I should treat Zihao well. Who knew..."

By the end, her eyes were red.

This was the first time since Lin Zihao came to their home that his parents had explained so frankly why they treated him so well.

Lin Zihao also spoke up: "Sister, I know I was wrong. I've already written the IOU, and I'll pay you back the money every month from now on."

Lin Xiyin looked at him and asked, "Two thousand yuan a month, how do you plan to pay it back?"

Lin Zihao was taken aback, clearly not expecting that even after they had played the victim so hard, Lin Xiyin would still ask about repaying the money.

At this point, shouldn't she be moved and cry, saying that her family doesn't need to pay it back?

Lu Xuemei was also a little confused, but she quickly reacted and said, "Ruanruan, isn't your brother preparing for his exams? Why don't you be lenient with him for a while, and he can pay you back when he's able to earn money? How about that?"

"How can you prove that he will prepare for the exam properly in the days to come, instead of continuing to gamble?"

"Sis, I promise I won't gamble anymore!" Lin Zihao said. "I already know I was wrong!"

Lin Xiyin put the IOU away and then said, "You can work while preparing for the exam."

Lin Yiming said, "Ruan Ruan, that's too tiring..."

Lu Xuemei also said, "That's right. Zihao should focus on preparing for the exam right now. If he actually passes the civil service exam, it will be a good thing for you too."

Lin Xiyin looked at Lin Zihao: "Then let's make it a year, okay?"

Lin Zihao nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"

After leaving the Lin family home and going downstairs, Lin Xiyin looked up.

Even though it was her own home, she didn't know why, at this moment, she felt like an outsider.

Lin Zihao, who was protected under his parents' wings, was their child.

Lin Xiyin went straight back to school.

She hasn't missed any of the tasks assigned by Ji Mingtang these past few days.

Although she had taken leave, she spent her time at the hospital, taking care of Pei Muye, and otherwise doing part-time work or handling the tasks left by Ji Mingtang.

A few days later, she had completed half of her part-time job.

This kind of work is usually difficult in the early stages, but once you get started, the rest becomes much easier.

Lin Xiyin took the money and wanted to finish the job as quickly as possible.

So once she got to school, she threw herself into it, and was busy all the time except for eating and sleeping.

Not to mention others, she sometimes doesn't even have time to reply to Xiao Ruoyi's messages.

Xiao Ruoyi knew how busy she was, so she came to the school once to tell her to take care of herself.

After all, she's not alone now; she's pregnant.

At this moment, Lin Xiyin felt especially fortunate that the baby in her belly was truly well-behaved.

This prevented her from experiencing any early pregnancy symptoms.

On the contrary, they can eat and sleep well.

My physical condition is much better than before.

The day Xiao Ruoyi came to find Lin Xiyin, Huo Xianyang went to meet a client, and the two happened to meet at an intersection near Ocean University.

Everyone is waiting at the red light, in different lanes.

Huo Xianyang was smoking when he casually glanced to his left and saw Xiao Ruoyi.

The woman still had big, wavy hair, bright eyes, white teeth, and was stunningly beautiful.

Huo Xianyang hadn't seen her for several days. He could usually suppress his longing by being busy with work.

Now that they had unexpectedly run into each other on the street, he couldn't suppress his feelings any longer.

The thought of her was stirring within me.

The light turned green, and Xiao Ruoyi started the car.

She drove a bright red sports car with the engine roaring.

Huo Xianyang only started moving after she drove off, following her all the way.

Xiao Ruoyi soon realized that someone was following her car.

Her car is worth several million yuan, which is considered a luxury car for ordinary people.

When we meet her on the street, we consciously keep our distance.

But the car kept following, and the distance between them wasn't far.

Before they even got home, Xiao Ruoyi pulled over.

She was afraid of encountering some pervert, so she followed her home.

She thought the other party wouldn't be so blatant, and that they might leave once they saw her park.

As soon as she stopped, the other person stopped too.

Xiao Ruoyi's fiery temper flared up immediately.

Anyway, it's broad daylight and in front of everyone, why would she be afraid of a bad guy?

She opened the car door, got out, and walked over aggressively.

As a result, the other car window rolled down.

Upon seeing who was inside, Xiao Ruoyi kicked them.

Are you crazy?!

Huo Xianyang smiled at her and said, "Yes, lovesickness."

Xiao Ruoyi glared at him fiercely, then turned and left.

Huo Xianyang got out of the car, walked a few steps quickly, and got into the passenger seat.

"Get down!"

Xiao Ruoyi was furious.

"My car broke down," Huo Xianyang said shamelessly. "Please, Bodhisattva Xiao, have mercy on all living beings."

Xiao Ruoyi glanced back and saw that the roadside steps had been stained yellow.

She said, "You can't park here."

Huo Xianyang said, "I accept the fine and the points deduction."

Xiao Ruoyi looked at him and asked, "What exactly do you want to do!"

"I haven't seen you for several days," Huo Xianyang said. "You're not replying to messages or answering your calls. What's wrong?"

"I simply don't want to talk to you," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Is that a valid reason?"

Huo Xianyang sighed: "What did I do wrong? There must be a reason why they're ignoring me."

"I told you not to leave marks on me!" Xiao Ruoyi said angrily, "I only found a huge mark on my neck when I got home last time. Are you a dog?!"

Huo Xianyang touched his nose: "I... couldn't help myself."

"Get the hell out of here!" Xiao Ruoyi was furious, even kicking her own car. "You like sitting in this car? Fine, you can sit here!"

After she finished speaking, she bent down, reached into her bag and took out her phone, slammed the car door shut, and walked away.

Upon seeing this, Huo Xianyang quickly got out of the car: "Grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"

"Still want to follow?"

"I'm not going anymore."

Seeing him honestly admit his mistake, Xiao Ruoyi pointed at him and said, "Get back in your car!"

Having no other choice, Huo Xianyang got into his car, looking back every few steps.

Xiao Ruoyi then got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

Huo Xianyang slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

His phone rang, and he answered, "Speak!"

"What's with that tone? Did someone provoke you?" Chi Tianlin asked, puzzled. "It's like you've taken a gun."

"It's nothing." Huo Xianyang wiped his face and started the car. "Why did you make that call?"

"What has Lin Xiyin been busy with lately?" Chi Tianlin asked casually. "Let's invite her out for a meal."

When Huo Xianyang heard him mention Lin Xiyin, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Ruoyi again.

She's a very demanding woman; he can't be assertive at all in front of her.

Even the most renowned and top-performing lawyers in the country treat her like a grandson.

Huo Xianyang said, "You made the appointment yourself, why are you telling me?"

"Don't even mention it! She doesn't reply to my messages, and she doesn't answer my calls. It's driving me crazy!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xianyang thought, "How come these two best friends have the same problem?"

However, he was pursuing Xiao Ruoyi, which is why he did this.

What is Chi Tianlin doing?

Thinking about Lin Xiyin and Pei Muye's marriage, Huo Xianyang said coldly, "Didn't I tell you before not to harass Lin Xiyin?"

"How did I harass her? I already told you, we're just friends!"

"Why isn't your friend talking to you?" Huo Xianyang said, "You'd better not have any feelings for them!"

What ideas could I possibly have?

Huo Xianyang didn't believe it: "When have you ever been interested in women before? Last time Xiao Ruoyi told me that Lin Xiyin thought you liked men."

"What!" Chi Tianlin jumped to his feet: "Lin Xiyin said that?"

Huo Xianyang explained, "They were just joking, they didn't mean anything by it."

"No way!" Chi Tianlin was furious. "I have to settle the score with her!"

Huo Xianyang panicked: "Don't do anything reckless!"

But Chi Tianlin had already hung up the phone.
