Chapter 26 Go to your place
Lin Xiyin led Lin Zihao out, got him into the car, didn't start it, sat quietly in the driver's seat for a few seconds, and then said, "Zihao."
Lin Zihao felt inexplicably guilty: "Sister..."
Lin Xiyin didn't look at him; her eyes were fixed on the parking lot paving stones outside the car window.
She said, "I shouldn't have brought up your sad story. Your uncle and aunt are gone, but my parents treated you like their own son, and I treated you like my own brother."
Lin Zihao said, "Sister, I know."
Lin Xiyin continued, "I don't want today's incident to happen again. Zihao, we're just an ordinary family, we have no money or power..."
Lin Zihao couldn't help but say, "Sister, you're Pei Muye's wife, the Pei family..."
Lin Xiyin then looked at him, her cold eyes filled with icy intent: "Pei Muyi and I are getting a divorce soon. Zihao, he will no longer be your brother-in-law."
Lin Zihao immediately became anxious: "Sis...didn't you promise Uncle and Aunt that you wouldn't get a divorce?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at him again.
Lin Zihao read a lot from that look.
Lin Xiyin continued, "Zihao, I treat you like my own brother, but there are many things I have my bottom line on. I have no right to interfere with how Mom and Dad treat you, but here with me..."
She looked at him intently and said, word by word, "Don't do anything out of line, understand?"
Lin Zihao felt a sudden tremor in his heart and was somewhat afraid to meet her gaze.
"Sister, I know, I just... I really want to succeed."
Lin Xiyin sighed: "Not everyone can succeed easily. Those people tonight... do you even know who they are?"
"But they have money."
Lin Xiyin said, "You may not like what I'm about to say, but I still hope that you will make more friends with honest, upright, and kind people."
Lin Zihao neither confirmed nor denied the statement.
In business, the rule is that no business is without guile. If you are honest and kind, won't you be bullied to death?
Lin Xiyin drove the person to the hospital, and then let Lin Zihao and Lu Xuemei leave together.
Nothing else happened in the next few days.
Lin Yiming's condition gradually stabilized, and he was transferred to a regular ward in the oncology department.
His current condition precludes surgery; he can only receive conservative treatment.
I estimate I'll need to stay in the hospital for a while longer.
Fortunately, he is now able to take care of himself. Lu Xuemei takes care of him during the day, and he can manage on his own at night.
Lin Xiyin was finally able to catch her breath.
I spent a few more days working at the chemical plant.
I then received a notification for the doctoral admission assessment at Ocean University of China.
First a written test, then an interview.
Lin Xiyin had the best written test score, and the interviewers were also very satisfied with her.
They even started snatching people on the spot.
In the end, they naturally couldn't compete with Ji Mingtang.
During the interview, Ji Mingtang's old friend Guo Yishao was also present. He was also a doctoral supervisor at Ocean University of China, majoring in chemistry. Seeing that Lin Xiyin talked about a lot of chemistry-related content when answering questions, he asked a few questions on a whim, and Lin Xiyin's performance surprised him.
He immediately urged Lin Xiyin to stop studying physics and switch to chemistry.
Ji Mingtang was so angry that he almost got into a fight with him right there in court.
The two had been friends for decades and were like playful old men. They argued fiercely over a student.
In the end, Ji Mingtang naturally took the person away.
The two had competed for a student last year, but Guo Yishao ultimately won.
This year, Ji Mingtang snatched Lin Xiyin away, turning the tables on her. He couldn't be happier.
That evening, he invited Tang Yishen to dinner to celebrate.
Ji Mingtang had long wanted Lin Xiyin to work with him on scientific research, but Lin Xiyin went and got married.
Now that he has finally seen the person return, he is overjoyed and drinks a few more glasses of wine.
After the meal, Tang Yishen and Lin Xiyin escorted their master and mistress back home.
When they went to eat, Tang Yishen picked them up directly from the school, so he only drove his car.
After settling their master and mistress in, the two went downstairs. Tang Yishen opened the passenger door and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
Lin Xiyin had the IOU in her bag. She got into the passenger seat, and after Tang Yishen was seated, she handed him the IOU.
Tang Yishen glanced at it and said, "Just put it there."
Lin Xiyin put it in the locker.
"Senior, you can just take me back to school. My car is over there."
"It's not on my way back to school," Tang Yishen said. "I'll just take you home."
"Huh?" Lin Xiyin was taken aback; "But I need to use the car tomorrow."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning," Tang Yishen said. "I need to go back to school tomorrow anyway."
Lin Xiyin glanced at him.
Tang Yishen's expression remained unchanged.
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to nod: "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."
Soon they arrived at Lin Xiyin's building, where Lin Xiyin waved goodbye to him.
This time, Tang Yishen didn't get out of the car. He said goodbye to Lin Xiyin and then drove away.
Once he was outside the residential area, he took out Lin Xiyin's IOU, looked at it for a long time, and then lit it with a lighter, watching it burn to ashes.
The next morning, Lin Xiyin got into Tang Yishen's car.
"breakfast."
Tang Yishen handed over a bag.
Lin Xiyin opened it and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it the same steamed bun shop as before?"
Tang Yishen gave a faint "hmm".
Lin Xiyin asked, "Senior brother, have you eaten?"
Tang Yishen said, "I've already eaten."
Lin Xiyin thanked him and began to eat her steamed buns and drink her soy milk quietly without saying much.
When she arrived at the school, she got out of the car, thanked Tang Yishen again, and waved goodbye.
She needed to find Ji Mingtang first. After arriving at the office building and taking the elevator, Lin Xiyin fell into deep thought.
With a ding, the elevator arrived, and she snapped out of her daze.
Formal enrollment will not begin until after March, and it is only mid-January now. Ji Mingtang did not want Lin Xiyin to waste two months, so he arranged study tasks for her.
When Lin Xiyin finished her work and went to the parking lot, her phone rang. It was a message from Tang Yishen inviting her to lunch.
Lin Xiyin replied to him via voice: Senior brother, I have other things to do, let's eat next time.
After she finished speaking, she got into the car and placed her phone on the holder.
She's not stupid, and she's sensitive enough. Tang Yishen probably hasn't forgotten her.
She had originally thought that since he had a girl he liked, it would be okay for her to just be friends with him.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yishen also liked her.
She didn't want to have any contact with him anymore.
Even if she were divorced, let alone if she wasn't, she and Tang Yishen...
Thinking back on those things, Lin Xiyin smiled bitterly.
In short, it's impossible for her to accept Tang Yishen.
After receiving the information from Ji Mingtang, Lin Xiyin went to the chemical plant.
It was already afternoon when she finished her work, and she prepared to go to the hospital.
Previously, the emergency room was quite expensive; the first day of treatment alone cost fifty to sixty thousand yuan.
The cost was over 20,000 yuan per day for the next few days.
He was transferred to a regular ward, but because of Lin Yiming's special physical condition, he could only use the best medications, and the daily cost was still not low.
Pei Muyi paid 500,000 yuan at the time, and now only a small portion of it remains.
Even if the cost of this hospitalization is covered, the subsequent treatment will not be a small expense.
Lin Xiyin felt a headache coming on as she thought about the balance in her card.
Upon arriving at the hospital, going upstairs, and pushing open the ward door, I immediately saw Pei Muye.
The aloof and arrogant man sat on an ordinary round stool in the hospital, which seemed completely out of place with his noble demeanor.
Upon seeing Lin Xiyin, Lu Xuemei flashed a big smile: "Ruanruan, you've finally arrived! Muye has been waiting for you for ages."
Is Pei Muyi waiting for her?
How could that be?
She went to see Pei Muye, who said, "I haven't been here long either."
She said, "Why would Pei Muye wait for her?"
Thinking about how her parents humbly fawned over Pei Muye, Lin Xiyin felt extremely distressed.
She asked, "Did you come here because of something?"
She didn't believe that Pei Muye had come specifically to see her father.
Before Pei Muye could speak, Lu Xuemei slapped Lin Xiyin's arm: "How can you talk like that? They've come to see your father!"
Lin Xiyin forced a smile.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Xiyin noticed that her parents were quite uncomfortable with Pei Muyi, so she had no choice but to say, "You're busy, so you should go back first."
Lu Xuemei said, "You should go with Mu Ye too. Zihao will come to pick me up later."
Pei Muye stood up: "Then we'll be leaving now."
His words suppressed Lin Xiyin's desire for him to leave alone.
To avoid arousing her parents' suspicion, she had no choice but to leave the ward with Pei Muye.
The two walked side by side down the hospital corridor. After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiyin said, "Thank you."
In any case, Pei Muyi's visit should dispel some of his parents' doubts.
Pei Muye's voice was indifferent: "You're welcome."
They remained silent for the rest of the journey.
When they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Lin Xiyin prepared to part ways with him: "My car is over there, I'll go first."
She felt that she had improved her cultivation significantly. The heart that used to flutter at the sight of Pei Muye could now remain as still as water.
Pei Muye didn't say anything, and Lin Xiyin didn't expect him to exchange pleasantries with her, so she turned and left.
After taking a few steps, she felt something was wrong, and when she turned around, she saw Pei Muyi following right behind her.
Thinking that his car might be going in the same direction as hers, Lin Xiyin ultimately didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
As a result, when she got to the car and unlocked it, Pei Muye opened the passenger door and got in.
Lin Xiyin frowned, leaned over the car door with one hand, and looked inside: "What are you doing?"
"Let's go to your place."
Lin Xiyin understood Pei Muye's meaning almost instantly.
What are you going to do there?
What else can we do?
Knowing what Pei Muye would do, Lin Xiyin was even more displeased.
She asked directly, "Is something wrong? If so, we can talk outside."
Pei Muyi remained seated, showing no intention of getting out of the car.
"Outside?" Pei Muye glanced at her. "Are you sure... you want to go outside?"
His words further convinced Lin Xiyin that he was going to his residence to commit beastly acts.
It seems like this is the only thing they can do together.
Lin Xiyin knew his true nature; when he was dressed, he was a suit and tie, but when he took his clothes off, he was a beast and a wolf.
He said that once he went to her place, he would never change his mind.
Lin Xiyin thought for a moment, got into the car first, and then asked, "Pei Muyi, how's the divorce agreement coming along?"
Pei Muye didn't answer, but instead said, "Change your seat."
Lin Xiyin, having learned her lesson the hard way last time, wouldn't fall for it again: "You adjust it yourself."
Pei Muye replied, "No."
Lin Xiyin said, "My car is too small to fit President Pei, who is such a great man. Since you don't know how, then please get out of the car, President Pei."
