Chapter 33 My sister-in-law is more important
When Lin Xiyin arrived at the law firm, she talked with Huo Xianyang, and then Huo Xianyang saw her out.
When I got to the first floor and went down the stairs, the front door opened.
Lin Xiyin looked up.
Chi Tianlin was dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, his hair combed back, revealing his handsome features.
With his striking features, his overall aura is even more dazzling.
He exudes the air of a noble young master from the Republican era.
If you didn't know better, you'd think you were filming a movie.
However, movie stars don't have his air of luxury.
Regardless of personality and character, Chi Tianlin's appearance is truly the most handsome Lin Xiyin has ever seen.
Lin Xiyin was taken aback. How could she have met Chi Tianlin here?
Thinking back to their previous meetings, where Chi Tianlin was so outspoken, Lin Xiyin subconsciously felt that this time, Chi Tianlin might have deliberately created this chance encounter.
What exactly is he trying to do?
Although I don't know what his purpose is, he's definitely not a good person.
As Lin Xiyin was lost in thought, she heard Huo Xianyang beside her say, "They're here."
Chi Tianlin didn't answer him, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiyin.
As soon as Huo Xianyang spoke, Lin Xiyin knew that she had been wrong; this was truly a chance encounter.
"Ruan Ruan?"
However, as soon as Chi Tianlin spoke, Lin Xiyin's face tightened.
Huo Xianyang was taken aback for a moment: "You two know each other?"
"I don't know him."
"certainly!"
The two spoke at the same time, but gave two different answers.
Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ruan Ruan to lie through her teeth. It's kind of cute."
Lin Xiyin didn't want to have anything to do with him, and she hated his lack of boundaries.
She turned to Huo Xianyang and said, "Attorney Huo, I'll be going now. If you have any questions, we can contact each other by phone."
After speaking, he walked past Chi Tianlin without looking to the side.
Chi Tianlin wasn't annoyed. He waved and said to her, "Bye-bye, Ruan Ruan!"
He only looked away after Lin Xiyin left and he could no longer see her.
Huo Xianyang frowned at him: "What are you up to now?"
Chi Tianlin, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, didn't look dignified at all. He raised his hand and patted him, saying, "What are you talking about? What could I possibly be doing? We're acquaintances, it's normal to greet each other when we meet."
Huo Xianyang ignored him and turned to go upstairs.
Chi Tianlin followed behind and asked, "What's she doing here? Is she here to do some business with you? What, is she going to divorce Pei Muye?"
Huo Xianyang paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure: "Don't ask me anything."
Chi Tianlin said, "I'm just curious. Her husband is Pei Muye, and she has a legal team at home. Why would she come to you?"
"Mind your own business." Huo Xianyang ignored him. "What brings you here today?"
"I was just passing by and thought it'd been almost a month since we last met, so I came to see you." Chi Tianlin looked at him; "Tsk tsk, you look thinner? If you ask me, you'd better find a woman quickly to do your laundry, cook for you, and warm your bed, otherwise you'll die of a sudden sooner or later!"
Huo Xianyang glanced at him, his eyes behind his glasses sharp: "You should worry about yourself first!"
Chi Tianlin replied, "At least I won't neglect my sleep and meals. My most precious thing is my life."
Both of them glared at each other, and if a third person were present, it wouldn't be hard to notice that their eyes looked very similar.
After leaving the law firm, Lin Xiyin drove to the chemical plant.
After I finished my work, on my way back, I sent a message to Qu Jingyou to ask for her address.
Qu Jingyou replied quickly.
Lin Xiyin entered the address into the navigation app and arrived at the address she had mentioned in just over twenty minutes—an extremely expensive residential complex.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Qu Jingyou.
Qu Jingyou wore a long, pure white down jacket with a real fur collar that surrounded her small, delicate face, making her look exceptionally cute and exuding an air of nobility that comes from being raised in the finest rice and water.
"elder sister!"
She saw Lin Xiyin and ran over happily.
Although they haven't seen each other since their last meeting, they chat on their phones whenever they have free time.
However, Lin Xiyin may not always have time to reply to her.
Sometimes Qu Jingyou would send her a resentful little emoji.
She had been pampered by her family since childhood, and those around her fawned over her. This was the first time she had met someone like Lin Xiyin.
But she still quite liked it.
Lin Xiyin liked her quite a bit, which is why she kept her things in mind and came here today specifically to bring her sunscreen.
"Did you have fun going out for New Year's Day?"
Lin Xiyin hugged her and then asked her.
She and her family went abroad to a small island where spring lasts all year round.
Lin Xiyin saw that she posted on her WeChat Moments.
"I'm so happy!" Qu Jingyou's big eyes crinkled into crescents. "Sister, let's go out and play together sometime!"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm about to start my doctoral studies, so I probably won't have time for the next two years."
Wow, your sister is going to pursue a PhD? That's amazing!
"What's so amazing about it?" Lin Xiyin handed her the bag she was carrying: "This is sunscreen. After you've done your basic skincare routine, just apply the sunscreen. It works pretty well. Try it out first and see if you have any allergic reactions."
"Okay, thank you, sister! Sister, shall we have dinner together?"
Lin Xiyin had to go to school and really didn't have time to have dinner with her.
Rejected, Qu Jingyou pouted and asked, "Then when will you be free, sister?"
Lin Xiyin really couldn't say for sure.
She said, "Can I message you when I have time?"
"Don't try to fob me off with phrases like 'another day,' 'next time,' or 'come back later.'"
Lin Xiyin chuckled: "No, I'll tell you as soon as I have time."
After exchanging a few more words, Lin Xiyin got into her car and left.
Qu Jingyou then realized that the car her sister was driving... wasn't a luxury car.
How could that be?
Those who could attend that banquet were all either very wealthy or very powerful.
She didn't deliberately inquire about Lin Xiyin's identity, but she subconsciously felt that Lin Xiyin must also be the daughter of some wealthy family.
After all, Lin Xiyin is not only good-looking, but also has a great temperament.
She had seen so many so-called noble ladies and young wives, but none of them could match Lin Xiyin's unique and charming temperament.
But the car she was driving...
Qu Jingyou shook her head, deciding not to think about these things anymore.
Looking at the bag in her hand, she went home happily.
As soon as I entered, someone asked, "Where have you been? What are you carrying?"
"Brother, look!" Qu Jingyou proudly showed off the bag, "I'm not afraid of the sun anymore!"
Qu Chongyou knew very well what his younger sister's skin looked like.
However, upon seeing the bag, he frowned: "What is this?"
"It's a sunscreen my older sister gave me!" Qu Jing said proudly. "My sister studies chemistry, and she made this herself. She's so amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Chongyou frowned even more: "What kind of substandard product do you want to put on your face?"
"What kind of substandard product is this?!" Qu Jingyou exclaimed, displeased. "Brother, how can you talk like that?!"
"Jingjing," Qu Chongyou's tone became stern, "Have you forgotten everything I told you before?"
At this time, Lin Xiyin had already arrived at Ocean University and went to find her teacher to hand in her assignment.
Finally, unable to resist the teacher's enthusiastic invitation, I went to his home for dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Tang Yishen arrived.
"Ruan Ruan is here too?" Tang Yishen acted as if he were at home, putting the fruit he brought in the kitchen, washing his hands and sitting down next to Lin Xiyin: "I'm starving."
His teacher's wife had already served him the food: "Eat slowly even if you're hungry, don't rush, drink the soup first."
Tang Yishen drank a bowl of soup first, then looked at Lin Xiyin: "How do you feel about the homework the teacher assigned you?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at the teacher with a wry smile, then said, "Senior brother, the teacher has already scolded me severely, so please don't bring up that sore spot again, please!"
She immediately made everyone at the table laugh.
Ji Mingtang began, “It’s tough for you now, it’ll be much easier later. Our path is inherently difficult. So many people study physics and chemistry, but how many are world-renowned? And how many can produce groundbreaking research?”
"Teacher, I know." Lin Xiyin said honestly, "I don't expect to make any great research results, but I won't underestimate myself either. Don't worry, I'm not afraid of hardship."
Ji Mingtang was always satisfied with his student.
The meal was a pleasure for both the host and guests.
After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, Lin Xiyin said she had to leave, so Tang Yishen got up as well.
When the two reached the bottom of the stairs, Lin Xiyin waved and said, "Bye-bye, Senior Brother!"
"Ruanruan, are you free tomorrow?" Tang Yishen asked her. "Are you going to the factory?"
"I'm not going tomorrow, I have other things to do." Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Drive carefully, Senior Brother, I'm leaving!"
She quickly got into the car and left.
Tang Yishen watched her car disappear around the corner before getting in.
It was almost nine o'clock when Lin Xiyin went to the hospital again.
Lin Yiming wanted to be discharged, but the doctor suggested he stay for a while longer.
Lin Xiyin went to the hospital, and it happened to be Lin Yiming's attending physician on duty. Lin Xiyin told him directly, "Stay a little longer. We'll leave whenever you say you're ready to be discharged."
When they arrived at the ward, she told Lin Yiming to rest and recover.
Lin Yiming muttered, "Isn't this just money being spent? It's like water flowing away."
Lin Xiyin didn't say anything; she was really tired.
Back at her place, she took off her clothes, took a shower, and then threw herself onto the big bed.
A few days ago, Lin Yiming fainted, Lin Zihao had an accident, and Pei Muye and Ming Qingwan kept provoking her.
One thing after another left her physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, although I feel tired these past two days, I haven't experienced any other discomfort.
She had originally planned to check on the individual when she had time.
I don't want to go anymore.
I used to experience frequent blackouts and discomfort in my lower abdomen, probably from being overworked.
She decided that starting tomorrow, she would eat well, rest well, and make sure to take good care of her health.
Your health is your most valuable asset.
She put aside all her unhappiness and slept soundly.
The next morning, I was woken up by knocking on the door.
Who would come so early in the morning?
She sleepily went to open the door and stood there asking, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
Lin Xiyin then looked down at her pajamas: "Wait a minute."
She changed her clothes before opening the door.
The man standing outside the door was Pei Muye.
He had a suitcase next to him and asked Lin Xiyin, "Would you like to go on a trip for a few days?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"I'm going on a business trip, I can give you a ride along the way," Pei Muyi said. "Airfare and hotel will be reimbursed, how about it?"
He had barely finished speaking when his phone rang.
He picked it up and took it; "Yunqing... What? Qingwan was in a car accident? I'm coming right away!"
He turned and walked away, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned back to look at Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin leaned against the door frame, smiling as she looked at him: "Go on your way, what's a business trip? Of course, your sister-in-law is more important."
