Chapter 176 Not Getting Married Is Great
The perfumes that older people like are definitely not ordinary perfumes.
Collector's editions, limited editions, and even discontinued items...
Some of them are even unavailable even with money.
Not to mention calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
It's definitely a hobby that only rich people can have.
Lin Xiyin sighed, "Mom, I don't have that much money."
"I know." Qu Jianhang was particularly happy to hear her say that: "But your mother has one."
Lin Xiyin said, "Thank you, Mom."
Qu Jianhang was extremely pleased with Lin Xiyin's dependence on him.
She was also afraid that Lin Xiyin would keep her distance and reject her kindness.
Now that Lin Xiyin is willing to use her money, it shows that Lin Xiyin truly considers her family.
In fact, Lin Xiyin could sense that Qu Jianhang was deliberately trying to please her.
I used to hear Qu Jingyou talk about Qu Jianhang, and she always said that she was omnipotent and a very open and generous person.
But ever since she found out that she was her mother, she seemed to become sensitive and cautious in her presence.
Everything he did was to please Lin Xiyin.
This realization deeply saddened Lin Xiyin.
She already knew about Qu Jianhang's feelings for her.
This profound love existed for over twenty years without her knowledge.
Now, she has finally come to Qu Jianhang's side.
She didn't want to make herself feel so inferior.
She hoped that Qu Jianhang could return to being the confident, even arrogant, person he once was.
Therefore, she chose to rely on her.
Just as I hung up the phone, Wu Xinyue knocked on the door and came in.
"Sister, you seem to be in a good mood." Wu Xinyue handed her the organized documents. "Is something making you happy?"
After graduating, Wu Xinyue also worked in other places.
But in this society, as long as you go out to work, you have to deal with difficult bosses and manage relationships with colleagues.
Some jobs even involve backstabbing and infighting among colleagues.
But since joining Lin Xiyin's project, Wu Xinyue has thrived.
Here, there is no backstabbing or deliberate obstruction; you just need to do your job.
And it's her major, which she loves.
It couldn't be better.
All of this was thanks to Lin Xiyin.
It was thanks to Lin Xiyin that Pei Muye was able to invest in them, allowing them to conduct experiments without any worries.
Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she had seen Lin Xiyin smile so happily.
"It's a family matter."
Lin Yiming is not her biological father, but now she has reunited with Qu Jianhang.
Lin Xiyin didn't intend to tell anyone about this.
This is her own life.
She's always been low-key, and this isn't something to brag about.
"It's so nice to see you smiling like this!" Wu Xinyue said. "You seemed unhappy the past few days."
Moreover, Lin Xiyin's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
But since she didn't say, they didn't feel comfortable asking.
Seeing her happy now puts both her and Li Xingzhi at ease.
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Thank you. I hope we will only encounter happy things in the future."
Wu Xinyue frowned and said, "I doubt it. My parents call me every day, trying to get me to go on blind dates. I'm so busy, how could I have time?"
Wu Xinyue had a boyfriend during college, but they broke up later.
I'm so busy every day now that I really don't have time for dating.
Lin Xiyin said, "If you're going on a blind date, you can go and see what happens. Who knows, maybe it'll be your type?"
“How could that be?” Wu Xinyue said, “Blind dates are all about compatibility; there’s no way you can find someone you’re attracted to.”
"That's not necessarily true." Lin Xiyin had no experience with blind dates and didn't know how to say much. "Then you should talk to your parents properly."
"They think I'm too old, sigh, I don't want to get married at all."
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "Why don't you want to get married?"
Wu Xinyue said, "I have two classmates who got married and then divorced, and they don't even have children. I also have two friends who regretted getting married because of all the problems with their husbands' families and their own families. Anyway, I'm free and easy now, which is great."
Lin Xiyin thought about Zhou Yusu's past sarcasm and then about how Lin Yiming's family asked Pei Muyi for money.
Suddenly I realized that not getting married is actually a good thing.
Even though several years have passed, she can still recall the bitterness and sadness of that time.
The verbal attacks and the bitterness of being disliked seem to linger even after the passage of time.
The more you care about someone, the harder it is to let go.
She didn't care about Zhou Yusu, but she did care about Lin Yiming and Lu Xuemei.
But now, she doesn't care anymore.
Thinking about what Wu Xinyue said, she suddenly felt that not getting married was actually a good thing.
She had always felt satisfied with her current life.
Not to mention, she has now reunited with Qu Jianhang.
Moreover, they also severed ties with the Lin family.
Thinking of this, she sent a message to Qu Jianhang.
Qu Jianhang is having people prepare a gift for Lin Xiyin to take home.
She glanced at her phone, and a smile immediately appeared on her lips.
The secretary next to her looked at her with some surprise.
Qu Jianhang has always been serious and meticulous in his work.
It's rare to see her distracted at this time, even looking at her phone.
Qu Jianhang replied: Of course.
Lin Xiyin asked her if she could do her a favor.
Lin Xiyin replied again: You agreed to help me without even asking what kind of help it is?
Qu Jianhang typed: You are my daughter. I will do anything you can for me.
Lin Xiyin replied with a smile: Mom, I need to borrow money from you.
Qu Jianhang was a little unhappy: Why do you need to borrow? Everything Mom has is yours. Just tell me, how much do you need?
Lin Xiyin answered honestly: I want to buy my adoptive mother a house and give her another five million.
Qu Jianhang didn't ask any more questions, only saying: Send me your bank card number.
Lin Xiyin copied the card number and sent it to her.
She typed again: Don't you even ask why?
Qu Jianhang did not reply.
She was instructing her secretary to transfer money to Lin Xiyin's account.
Only then did I check my phone and reply: "Why would Mom ask why I spent this little money? You didn't wake me up this morning, so I didn't give you my card. I'll come over tonight."
Lin Xiyin was looking at the message when the bank notified her.
She was stunned when she saw the amount transferred.
Then typed back: Mom, we don't need that much.
Qu Jianhang replied: If we can't use it all, then there's nothing left. Ruanruan, Mom is so happy that you can use Mom's money.
Lin Xiyin didn't feel comfortable offering to lend it.
She doesn't have that much money right now, but she'll definitely earn it in the future.
Around 5 p.m., Pei Muye called her and said he had picked up Lin Youxing.
"Can we have dinner together tonight?" Pei Muye asked. "Shall I bring Youyou to pick you up? Shall we go straight to the villa?"
Lin Xiyin said, "My mother is coming over tonight to discuss meeting the Qu family with me."
"oh."
Sensing the disappointment in Pei Muyi's tone, Lin Xiyin said, "Let me meet with the Qu family first, then we can arrange to have dinner together."
"Okay." Pei Muyi didn't know what else to say. "Then I'll take Youyou there."
When Lin Youxing returned home, he found that his grandmother was still there.
When he left in the morning, he really wanted to play with his grandma.
But his mother told him to be quiet so as not to wake his grandmother.
I was so happy to see Qu Jianhang now.
When Lin Xiyin returned, Qu Jianhang was feeding Lin Youxing a meal of vegetable noodles that Aunt Zhao had made especially for him.
"Mom, don't feed him, let him eat by himself." Lin Xiyin changed her shoes at the door: "Otherwise, he'll get into a habit."
"It's okay, I'm free anyway." Qu Jianhang couldn't have more fun than enjoying this: "Besides, our Youyou is so sensible, I insisted on feeding him."
"You've spoiled him rotten." Lin Xiyin walked over with a smile: "Was Youyou well-behaved at school today?"
Lin Youxing kissed her on the cheek first, then said, "Good girl!"
He was eating noodles, his lips were greasy, and he kissed Lin Xiyin's face, leaving it covered in oil.
Qu Jianhang took a tissue and wiped Lin Xiyin's face.
Lin Xiyin took it herself: "I'll do it. Mom, let him eat by himself, I'm going to wash my hands."
She went to the restroom and overheard Qu Jianhang whispering to Lin Youxing, "Give me a kiss too."
With a soft "smack," it must have been Lin Youxing kissing Qu Jianhang.
Lin Xiyin smiled and went into the restroom.
After putting Lin Youxing to sleep that night, Lin Xiyin asked her, "Mom, why did you sleep on the sofa last night? Was the bed uncomfortable?"
"No, I was so happy yesterday that I couldn't sleep at all. I was afraid of waking you up, so I went to the sofa. I didn't expect to fall asleep just before dawn."
So that's how it is.
Lin Xiyin was relieved.
"I've prepared all the gifts for Grandma and Grandpa," Qu Jianhang said. "When do you want to go?"
"How about tomorrow night?" Lin Xiyin said, "Actually, I think the weekend would be more convenient, but today is only Monday."
"Tomorrow night is fine," Qu Jianhang said. "Let's go over there for a simple meeting first. Ruan Ruan, the elders want to give you a small banquet so that all your relatives and friends can come and get to know you, so that they won't not know who you are when they meet you later."
This was the old man's kind gesture, and Lin Xiyin couldn't refuse.
She simply asked, "A lot of people?"
Qu Jianhang said, "There will be quite a few people. If you don't want to go, I'll talk to my parents."
"It's alright," Lin Xiyin said. "Since they are your relatives and friends, they are also my relatives. It wouldn't be proper for me not to know them."
Qu Jianhang hugged her: "Why is our Ruanruan so well-behaved?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "When will Uncle Yan be back? I'd like to see him too."
"He doesn't know yet," Qu Jianhang said. "I'll arrange for you to meet when he gets back."
"Should I bring Youyou with me tomorrow?"
"Of course," Qu Jianhang said. "Your grandparents are so looking forward to seeing you and the child. But you should go first, and then let Jingjing take Youyou somewhere else first. I'm afraid your grandma will cry and scare the child."
Lin Xiyin had no objections.
The next afternoon arrived quickly, and Qu Jianhang personally picked up Lin Youxing, and then took the little guy to pick up Lin Xiyin.
These past two days, Qu Jianhang hasn't been busy with work.
For so many years, she has used work to numb herself.
In her free time, she enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and diving...
I just wanted to keep myself busy so I wouldn't think about my deceased lover and my daughter who is missing.
Now, she can finally rest easy, and she will never touch those unsafe sports again.
She is not alone anymore.
After picking up Lin Xiyin, it took almost an hour to arrive at the Qu family's old residence.
