Chapter 181 Making it easier to see you
Ming Qingwan spoke up: "Do you know what Lin Xiyin just said? I bragged to her about your cousin's daughter, and she started acting sarcastic and weird. She's practically a lunatic!"
Qu Lianyi said, "Why are you telling her this when it's completely unrelated? She'll never have the chance to meet my aunt and her daughter in her lifetime."
“I just wanted her to know the difference between people,” Ming Qingwan said. “I didn’t expect her to be completely clueless.”
“How could she possibly know these things?” Qu Lianyi said. “Do you want to stay for dinner?”
Ming Qingwan said, "I have no appetite. But if you want to eat, I'll keep you company."
"Let's go," Qu Lianyi said. "I'm not in the mood either."
She needs to go back and think carefully about how to maintain her relationship with Pei Muye.
Ming Qingwan thought for a moment and asked her, "Sister Lianyi, can't you really take me to the Qu family's gathering tomorrow?"
Qu Lianyi frowned: "What do you think that is, a place anyone can just go to? Besides, the Qu family only invited relatives and friends, strictly controlling the number of people. What would it look like if I took you there?"
Even if Ming Qingwan felt resentful and dissatisfied, she could only suppress it.
She wants to advance her career, and Qu Lianyi is her stepping stone; she dares not offend her.
When she got home, she was full of resentment, but found the house bustling with activity and joy.
"What are you doing? It's so annoying!"
Ming Qingwan's tone was displeased.
Her family looked over, and Ming Qingwan's mother walked over to her: "Who upset you? Come here, look what your father is holding!"
Ming Qingwan asked irritably, "What?"
“It’s an invitation from the Qu family,” said Ming Qingwan’s mother. “They’re inviting us to a banquet tomorrow to celebrate Qu Jianhang’s daughter’s return home.”
Ming Qingwan was taken aback, thinking she had misheard: "What?"
Ming Qingwan's mother said, "Although the invitations were sent a little late and the preparation of the dresses was a bit rushed, at least our family received an invitation. So many people want one but can't get one, your father and I are so happy."
Ming Qingwan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Because of the need to prepare an evening gown to wear to the banquet, invitations are usually sent in advance.
The banquet was on the second day, and the invitations were only sent out the day before, which was indeed a bit rushed.
Only after holding the invitation in her hand did Ming Qingwan believe that her family had indeed received an invitation from the Qu family.
A wave of surprise washed over me.
Thinking about what Qu Lianyi had said, Ming Qingwan wished she could throw the invitation in Qu Lianyi's face and show her that her family wasn't completely without face.
Although a trace of doubt still lingered in her heart, and she even thought of what Lin Xiyin had said.
But soon, joy overshadowed her doubts, and Ming Qingwan went to help her mother choose a dress.
Pei Muye wanted to send Lin Xiyin back to the Qu family.
On the way, he asked, "Are you going to stay there permanently?"
"No, we won't," Lin Xiyin said. "We'll go back on Monday. Youyou can't keep missing classes, and it's a bit far for me to go to school."
Pei Muye was happy, because Lin Xiyin lived in the Qu family's house, and it was difficult for him to even see her.
He asked, "Does the Qu family agree?"
"Well, it's mainly because it's too inconvenient here," Lin Xiyin said. "However, there's a high probability that I'll be living with my mom from now on."
Pei Muyi was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's only right."
Lin Xiyin added, "She has many properties and let me choose which one is more suitable for me to live in."
It needs to be suitable for her commute, and the distance to Lin Youxing's school also needs to be considered.
Have you made your choice?
Pei Muye asked.
Lin Xiyin said, "Yes, I've chosen one. It's at Yunhai House."
Pei Muyi thought he had misheard, so he asked again, "Where?"
"Yunhai Home," Lin Xiyin said, "is about a five-minute walk from your house."
Pei Muyi was instantly overjoyed: "Really?"
"Really," Lin Xiyin said, "Being so close to you makes it easier for you to see your son."
"Um."
It's also convenient for me to see you.
Pei Muye didn't say that.
Lin Xiyin added, "By the way, my mom and I discussed it and are thinking about when it would be convenient to tell Youyou that you are his father."
Pei Muyi suddenly looked at her: "Do you...does your mother agree?"
“I agree,” Lin Xiyin said. “No matter what, you are Youyou’s father, and that will never change. Even if we get divorced, we still want our child to know that he has a father and want him to grow up in an environment where he doesn’t lack fatherly love.”
Pei Muye remained silent.
Lin Xiyin then said, "I was thinking of discussing this with you to see when it would be convenient for you, and then..."
“It’s convenient for me.” Pei Muye interrupted her, “It’s convenient for me anytime.”
He has only two wishes now.
One is to reconcile with Lin Xiyin.
Another reason is that I want to hear Youyou call me "Dad".
"Okay," Lin Xiyin said, "Then... Monday?"
"good."
The journey back to the Qu family was a bit long, but at this moment, Pei Muye wished the journey could be longer, much longer.
But no matter how far the road, there will always be a moment when you reach the end.
The arrival of the Qu family meant that he would have to part ways with Lin Xiyin.
However, the thought that he would come to the banquet tomorrow, and that Lin Xiyin would move out on Monday, and that Youyou would have to call him "Dad," filled him with joy.
"Go back and get some rest." Pei Muye saw her to the door. "See you tomorrow."
Lin Xiyin asked him, "Didn't my mom send you an invitation?"
Pei Muye touched his nose: "It hasn't been issued yet, but I want to go too."
He didn't believe that the Qu family would be able to kick him out then.
Lin Xiyin laughed uncontrollably.
Pei Muye said, "They can't possibly kick me out, can they?"
After Lin Xiyin finished laughing, she took an invitation out of her bag and handed it to him.
Pei Muye said in surprise, "This is..."
"This is the invitation for tomorrow." Lin Xiyin tilted her head to look at him: "I'm giving it to you personally, isn't that enough sincerity?"
Pei Muyi suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms, his gaze fixed intently on her: "Yinyin..."
Lin Xiyin waved her hand: "Alright, I should go in now. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After she entered the house, Pei Muye looked down at the invitation again before leaving.
Lin Xiyin returned late; the elderly were already asleep, but Qu Jianhang was still waiting for her in the living room.
"Mom," Lin Xiyin said as she changed her shoes and came in, "Why aren't you resting yet?"
"I'll wait for you to come back." Qu Jianhang pulled her to sit down next to him. "So, did you find anything you liked? Did you take any pictures?"
Lin Xiyin shook her head: "If there's nothing I particularly like, I won't waste my money."
“How is it a waste of money?” Qu Jianhang frowned. “Mom earns so much money just for you to spend.”
She was a little angry, and she was angry at Pei Muye.
I told him to persuade Lin Xiyin to film more things, but he didn't film anything?
"If I didn't find one I liked this time, maybe I'll find one next time," Lin Xiyin said. "Mom, has the invitation from the Ming family been sent?"
Qu Jianhang's attention was indeed diverted: "I will definitely do what you asked me to do over the phone. But, you and that girl from the Ming family, are you very close?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "No, I didn't invite her because we're close. Mom, it's okay, I can handle these things myself."
Qu Jianhang said, "My daughter is amazing. But you can always borrow your mother's influence, you know? Your mother is here to support you."
"Thank you, Mom."
After Lin Xiyin finished speaking, she hugged her.
"It's getting late, go to sleep quickly, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Qu Jianhang patted her on the back.
Back in her room, Qu Jianhang discovered that Yan Chengyu had sent her a message.
It happened half an hour ago.
Yan Chengyu went there and was so busy that he couldn't eat at regular times and his sleep schedule was also uncertain.
Qu Jianhang replied to him: Eat well and sleep well.
Yan Chengyu replied: You're still awake? I thought you were asleep since you didn't reply to my messages.
Qu Jianhang replied: Ruan Ruan just got back; she went to attend an auction.
Yan Chengyu asked: What does Ruan Ruan like? I haven't prepared a gift for her yet.
I've been too busy, so I haven't had time to do this yet.
Qu Jianhang teased him on purpose: "I didn't say I'd let you see me, so what gift are you going to prepare?"
Yan Chengyu said: It's pitiful. He wants to give gifts, but he can't find anyone to give them to.
Qu Jianhang changed the subject: When are you coming back?
Yan Chengyu said: It might take another two days, as some work is being finished.
Qu Jianhang said: Come back and let's have dinner together.
Yan Chengyu asked: Did you miss me?
Before meeting Qu Jianhang, Yan Chengyu never imagined that one day he would be so sentimental.
Qu Jianhang said: What good is missing you? I haven't seen you for ten days or half a month. I don't think you want the status of a friend with benefits anymore.
Yan Chengyu gave a wry smile.
He typed: I wanted to upgrade, but I didn't expect that I would lose my status as a friend with benefits.
Qu Jianhang replied: Yes, you seem to feel a bit of urgency.
Yan Chengyu typed with a smile, feeling all the fatigue of the day disappear.
He said: "Wait until I get back, and I'll show you whether my sex partner is up to standard."
Qu Jianhang said: "At this age, don't try to be strong."
Yan Chengyu replied with three words: You wait.
Qu Jianhang stopped teasing him: It's getting late, go to sleep.
Yan Chengyu replied: Okay, you should go to sleep early too. I miss you.
Qu Jianhang threw down his phone, hugged his pillow, turned over, and quickly fell asleep.
The next day, the Qu family was very lively.
The old house is not only large enough, but it also has a special place for entertaining guests.
Therefore, this banquet was held at the old house.
The banquet started at 10:30, followed by lunch.
So after breakfast, the makeup and styling people arrived.
Today's main character is Lin Xiyin. There are four or five people surrounding her, doing her makeup, styling her hair, and helping her with her clothes.
Qu Jingyou stayed with her the whole time.
Today she is the main character, so Qu Jingyou's makeup and hair should be simple so as not to overshadow her.
"Sister, I'll be by your side the whole time. Don't worry if you meet people you don't know, I'll introduce them to you. If you don't want to talk to them, then just ignore them."
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Okay."
While Lin Xiyin was getting her makeup done, members of the Qu family came over one after another, each wanting to chat with her for a few minutes.
It looked like casual conversation, but I was actually worried she would get nervous.
Lin Xiyin's face was occupied by the makeup artist, making it inconvenient for her to speak; she could only nod or smile occasionally.
The makeup and styling were finished at 9:30.
Qu Jingyou looked at her, blinked and smiled: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"
