Chapter 77 Are you and him that close?
Lin Xiyin looked at her: "Pei Muye is willing to let you give birth?"
Ming Qingwan sighed, "What else can we do? You insist on getting a divorce. I don't know if this is a tactic of using the child to play hard to get. If you two have a child after the divorce, the relationship between you will never be severed. And that's not what I want to see."
Lin Xiyin lowered her eyes: "Okay, I understand."
"A wise person knows when to yield." Ming Qingwan said, "I hope you are a smart person."
After saying that, she left.
Lin Xiyin continued to stand outside the door until her phone rang.
She didn't look at it and just answered the phone.
Pei Muye's voice came through the phone: "Did you go to outer space for dinner? It's been so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
Lin Xiyin hung up the phone and pushed open the door to the ward.
Pei Muye was still holding his phone when he looked up at him.
He looked at Lin Xiyin's empty hands and asked, "Where's the food?"
Lin Xiyin looked at him: "Didn't you eat it?"
"I haven't eaten." Pei Muye explained, "Qingwan just came over. She brought some soup, and it tastes pretty good. Have a bowl."
"I've already eaten," Lin Xiyin asked him. "If you're still hungry, shall I go buy you some more?"
"Why didn't you buy me food?" Pei Muye asked her. "Did you come back right after you finished eating?"
Lin Xiyin didn't want to explain, she just said, "I'll go buy it for you."
She regretted it; she should have kept it.
Not only is it a waste of food, but it also costs money.
Lin Xiyin had just stepped out when Pei Muye's phone rang.
He picked it up: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zuofan asked him, "Are you still in the hospital? How are you?"
"It's nothing," Pei Muyi said. "Why did you make that call?"
"I have a video I'd like you to see."
Pei Muye asked curiously, "What video?"
"I don't know if you're interested."
"Don't send me those photos of minor celebrities you're watching," Pei Muye said directly. "I'm not interested."
"It belongs to Lin Xiyin."
Pei Muye immediately asked, "What video! Send it to me!"
Actually, Lu Zuofan obtaining this video was purely accidental.
In the hotel's presidential suite, his new girlfriend was lying on the bed looking at her phone.
He walked over, lay down beside her, put his arm around her waist, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The girlfriend, without looking at him, said, "Our advisor gave it to us to study."
Lu Zuofan heard the audio from the video and thought it sounded familiar. He looked over and paused, then asked, "What is this?"
His girlfriend excitedly introduced her to him: "This is one of our senior classmates, she's amazing! They had a project they were preparing for, and there was a problem during the defense. She came to the rescue, listen!"
She showed the video to Lu Zuofan.
Lu Zuofan was completely dumbfounded as he watched Lin Xiyin speaking eloquently and confidently in the video.
When did he see this side of Lin Xiyin?
Is she really this dazzling in her field?
Although I couldn't understand what she was saying, she seemed very impressive.
The girlfriend added, "Our senior is a genius; our professor adores her!"
Lu Zuofan said, "Send me the video."
"What, you're not interested in your senior sister, are you?" his girlfriend said with a smile. "Then you've missed your chance."
"What's wrong?"
"Because I am very honored that I not only went to the same university as my senior, but I was also her junior in high school."
"You must be several years younger than her, right?"
"Yeah, she had already graduated when I was in my first year of high school. But she was a very good student, and her photo was always on the honor roll. Actually, the most famous thing about her at school was her love life."
"A romantic relationship?" Lu Zuofan became interested. "She was dating in high school?"
"Yes, and it was a very passionate relationship." His girlfriend looked on with longing: "It was so touching!"
Lu Zuofan smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
Then, Lu Zuofan heard a truly touching love story.
It is said that both the boy and girl were top students, and they eventually fell in love after getting to know each other and becoming friends.
The two were very affectionate at school, making others envious.
The teachers found out and tried to persuade them, but it was no use, and both of them had excellent grades.
The teachers didn't dare to put pressure on them either.
However, when the boy's family found out about it, they strongly opposed it.
The boy unilaterally broke up with Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin didn't pester him, but after the breakup, she fell seriously ill and didn't come to school for a whole month.
When she reappeared at school, she had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely haggard.
After finishing her story, the girlfriend concluded with a sigh: "Although campus romances are beautiful, they only feel truly beautiful when the boy and girl are good-looking together. The love between the senior and junior made many people sigh. In short, even after all these years, I still can't forget it."
To Lu Zuofan, this was an old, tired story with nothing new to it.
But the female lead is Lin Xiyin.
In other words, Lin Xiyin had a boyfriend when she was in high school.
Pei Muye probably doesn't know about this.
Upon receiving the video, Lu Zuofan, always eager for drama, immediately called Pei Muye.
After sending the video to Pei Muye, he embellished the story he had heard and told it to Pei Muye.
"She was in a relationship in high school, and it was so unforgettable. If you ask me, it's understandable that you don't like her. But that video really made me look at her in a new light."
Pei Muye listened in silence, then said two words: "Hang up."
He hung up on Lu Zuofan and then opened the video.
In the video, Lin Xiyin explains professional knowledge, and her whole person seems to be shining.
She spoke in such a technical way that Pei Muye, who didn't have a deep understanding of the subject, couldn't fully comprehend her explanation.
But he could tell that Lin Xiyin was very capable.
So, Lin Xiyin is really that amazing.
He held his phone and looked at it repeatedly.
On the last watch, he paused the video, zoomed in, and saw the man in the corner.
It is Chi Tianlin.
It was actually Chi Tianlin!
When Lin Xiyin returned from buying food, she opened the ward door and heard a voice on her phone.
She was taken aback.
For some reason, the sounded somewhat familiar to her.
But Pei Muyi had already put his phone away.
"Let's eat."
Pei Muye looked at her without saying a word.
Lin Xiyin asked him, "Where do we eat? Can you get out of bed?"
“No,” Pei Muye said. “You feed me.”
Lin Xiyin asked him, "Was Ming Qingwan feeding you the soup just now?"
Lin Xiyin blurted it out, and immediately regretted it.
She immediately said, "I don't think your hand is so badly injured that you can't even eat."
She set up a small dining table for him, arranged the food, and handed him chopsticks.
Pei Muye did not answer.
Lin Xiyin frowned: "Pei Muye, don't be unreasonable."
"You and Chi Tianlin..." Pei Muye's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back and changed the subject: "Does he know about your doctoral studies?"
Lin Xiyin said, "I know."
She doesn't steal or rob, and there's nothing to hide about her pursuing a doctorate.
When did you find out?
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"
She couldn't even remember when Chi Tianlin found out.
"How did he know about your affairs? Have you two become that close?"
“Pei Muyi, you have no right to ask about my relationship with him. But I can tell you directly that you don’t need to question whether I will do anything to betray you during our marriage.”
"I want to know, what exactly are you referring to as the things you said you were sorry for?"
"Excessive close contact with other members of the opposite sex," Lin Xiyin said. "We're not divorced yet, and I still represent the Pei family. I know my limits."
"What do you know?" Pei Muye's eyes were filled with anger: "You know your place, yet you still go out with him, appearing in various public places?"
“I’m not a celebrity, and not many people know me,” Lin Xiyin said. “He and I are just ordinary friends. If you insist on slandering me, then I have nothing to say.”
After she finished speaking, she put the chopsticks aside, turned around, walked to the sofa, sat down, and picked up a book to read.
She would ignore whatever Pei Muyi wanted to say.
Pei Muyi didn't touch the food on the table, and said, "I saw a video."
Lin Xiyin did not speak.
Pei Muye added, "It's the video of your thesis defense at Ocean University of China."
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
That video?
How could Pei Muye have seen it?
"Chi Tianlin accompanied you?" Pei Muye asked again. "In what capacity did he go? I am your husband, but I knew nothing about this!"
Lin Xiyin turned to look at him: "You don't need to say such things. Chi Tianlin was there that day, but there were also many classmates and teachers present. You didn't know anything about it? Should I tell my soon-to-be-divorced husband about something like this? Like I said, would you tell me what's going on at the company?"
Pei Muye said, "That's my job. I won't mix work with personal feelings."
“Ridiculous,” Lin Xiyin said. “You don’t confuse the two, but do you think I do? That’s my job too.”
Pei Muye was speechless.
Lin Xiyin looked at his face and saw frustration and helplessness on his face for the first time.
But she felt no joy in victory.
Now that she can refute Pei Muye, it only highlights how humble and pitiful she was before.
Fortunately, these days will soon be over.
Lin Xiyin looked down at her phone; she hadn't replied to the message Qu Jingyou had sent her.
She kept apologizing on behalf of her brother.
Lin Xiyin thought that Qu Chongyou was probably the same kind of person as Pei Muye.
They were all arrogant and disdainful of everyone.
But in fact, they can indeed easily control other people's lives.
Just like Qu Chongyou wanted to buy her sunscreen formula.
If he insists on buying it, what can Lin Xiyin do?
She simply doesn't have the resources or the confidence to compete with others.
Similarly, she was no match for Pei Muye.
Now all he can do is hope that Pei Muye will agree to the divorce soon so that he will never have any contact with him again.
She ignored Pei Muye and waited until he finished eating before packing her things and lying on the sofa to sleep for a while.
She originally thought that Pei Muye's health was not seriously affected.
But who knew that he would develop a fever that night.
