Chapter 145 That's not how it is at all.
How could Ming Qingwan possibly call? Pei Muye doesn't even answer her calls.
But Lin Xiyin looked at her with a mocking gaze, and Ming Qingwan couldn't stand it anymore.
She took out her phone: "Go ahead and call! Let's see if you dare say these things in front of Brother Muye!"
She dialed the number, her heart pounding.
The signal beeps repeatedly, but there was no response from the other end.
Ming Qingwan felt embarrassed and gritted her teeth before saying, "Brother Muye is probably in a meeting and can't answer the phone."
Lin Xiyin didn't say anything, but took out her phone and sent a message to Pei Muye.
Are you busy? Is it convenient for you to call me back?
Two seconds later, her phone rang.
She answered the call and put it on speakerphone in front of Ming Qingwan.
"Yinyin?"
Pei Muye's deep, sexy voice rang out from the phone.
He asked, "What's up? Are you off work?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at Ming Qingwan.
Ming Qingwan gripped her phone tightly, seething with hatred inside, but she said, "It's normal. Maybe I had my phone with me just now."
Lin Xiyin asked directly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you saw Ming Qingwan call you just now?"
Ming Qingwan's heart jumped again.
Pei Muyi didn't know what had happened, but at this moment, he was definitely telling the truth.
He said, "I saw it, but I didn't want to answer. Why? How did you know she called me?"
“Because she’s with me,” Lin Xiyin said. “She said you didn’t answer her call because your phone wasn’t with you.”
Pei Muye frowned, wondering why Ming Qingwan had gone to find Lin Xiyin.
He said, "Tell her I won't answer her calls. Also, tell her to stay away from you!"
Lin Xiyin looked at Ming Qingwan: "Did you hear me clearly? Do you need Pei Muyi to say it again?"
Ming Qingwan was on the verge of tears. She spoke, her voice trembling with sobs, "Brother Muye..."
Pei Muye heard her voice and said, "Don't bother Yinyin. Ming Qingwan, you'd better watch yourself."
After he finished speaking, he changed his tone and said to Lin Xiyin, "Yinyin, go home and don't worry about her. Don't forget our date tonight. See you tonight."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Lin Xiyin put away her phone and glanced at Ming Qingwan.
Although she didn't say anything, Ming Qingwan felt that her gaze was full of mockery and disdain.
This was clearly the way she looked at Lin Xiyin in the past.
This is how Lin Xiyin sees her now.
"What are you so smug about!" Ming Qingwan said angrily, "Brother Muye's feelings for you are just a passing fancy! He hasn't forgotten Sister Lianyi all these years, Sister Lianyi is the white moonlight in his heart!"
"Oh." Lin Xiyin nodded expressionlessly. "Then I'll ask him later to see if you're right. Or should I call and ask now?"
Ming Qingwan turned and left in anger.
She had no confidence to say anything more to Lin Xiyin.
Watching Ming Qingwan's departing figure, Lin Xiyin shook her head.
Now, she can defeat Ming Qingwan with just a few words.
Three years ago, Ming Qingwan could easily have left her covered in bruises.
How ironic.
It was such a simple matter, yet three years ago she was deeply entangled in it, blinded by her own involvement.
When Lin Xiyin got home, after finishing all her work, she checked the time and it was already past eight o'clock. After tidying up a bit, it was time to go downstairs.
Before going downstairs, she went to the study to get something, folded it up, and put it in her pocket.
She went downstairs twenty minutes early and, sure enough, saw Pei Muye's car.
The black luxury car was parked there quietly, its arrival date unknown.
Lin Xiyin walked over and knocked on the car window.
Pei Muye sent the driver back, and he stayed in the car alone, looking down at the documents.
Since it wasn't even nine o'clock yet, he wasn't in a hurry to get off the bus.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Lin Xiyin, then quickly opened the car door: "You're down so early?"
Lin Xiyin took two steps back to make it easier for him to get out of the car: "What time did you arrive?"
"I haven't been here long."
Pei Muye didn't mention that he had been waiting for almost half an hour.
Lin Xiyin didn't believe it, but there was no point in pressing her for an answer.
"Are you tired?" she asked Pei Muye. "If you are, we can talk in the car."
“I’m fine with anything,” Pei Muye said.
He wanted to sit in the car with Lin Xiyin, since it would be a private space where the two of them wouldn't be far apart, creating a very intimate and intimate feeling.
But he also wanted to walk with Lin Xiyin.
Sometimes he would see many couples taking a stroll, and Pei Muye would fantasize that he and Lin Xiyin were one of them.
Just as Lin Xiyin was about to speak, her phone rang. She took it out, looked at it, and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Muye asked.
"It's my mom."
The last time we met back home, it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Lin Xiyin still sends money to them every month.
After all, Lin Yiming needs money for medical treatment.
She couldn't just ignore it.
Those were her biological parents.
Even though they favored Lin Zihao, she still cared about them.
"I'll take this call."
Lin Xiyin said something to Pei Muyi, took a few steps to the side, and then answered the call.
"mom."
"Ruanruan!" Lu Xuemei's voice was urgent: "Ruanruan, where are you? Do you have 200,000 yuan? Send it to your mother!"
Lin Xiyin didn't expect that the person who called was asking her for money.
Lin Xiyin forced herself not to think about the fact that they had sold the house.
Because she simply couldn't understand why, in their eyes, her own daughter was less important than a relative's child.
Lu Xuemei is ashamed that she's divorced and that's embarrassing for them. Now she's calling and, without saying anything else, she's asking for money.
Lin Xiyin's heart felt as if it had been placed in the dead of winter, about to freeze over.
“I have it,” Lin Xiyin said. “Mom, why are you in such a hurry for money? What do you need it for?”
"Stop asking questions, just turn around right now!"
"Is it related to Lin Zihao?" Lin Xiyin asked directly, "I'll only transfer it to you if you tell me."
Lu Xuemei was surprised that Lin Xiyin guessed it right away.
She quickly said, "Yes, yes, Zihao is having some trouble. Don't worry, he will definitely pay it back."
"How will he repay it?" Lin Xiyin asked. "Does he have a job now? Does he have the ability to repay?"
"No matter what, we're family. Now that Zihao's in trouble, Ruanruan, please help him out..."
"Mom, ask yourself honestly, do you really consider me family?" Lin Xiyin's nose tingled, and tears almost fell. "Do you treat me like your daughter? I am your daughter, and your only daughter, but how have you treated me?"
Lu Xuemei paused for a moment: "Of course we treat you like a daughter, but... you know, your father is quite traditional and old-fashioned, and he still can't accept your divorce..."
“I’ve never heard of parents severing ties with their daughter after she gets married,” Lin Xiyin said. “If you really care about your daughter’s happiness, you should at least ask her why she wants a divorce.”
At that time, she bore all her pain alone.
"Let's not talk about that now, Ruanruan, transfer the money first..."
"Mom, do you all unconditionally support Lin Zihao no matter what he does? Even if he indulges in drinking, gambling, whoring, and commits all sorts of evil deeds?"
How could you say that about your brother?
"Then I can only say that my money didn't grow on trees, and I can't help you with this."
Lin Xiyin hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
She sniffed and quickly wiped her eyes.
Don't cry.
There's nothing to cry about.
I knew about their ruthlessness as early as three years ago.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Muye's voice rang out from behind.
He was watching from a short distance away. Although he couldn't hear clearly what Lin Xiyin said, he could sense that Lin Xiyin and the person on the phone had an argument.
He only dared to come over after she hung up the phone.
"It's nothing." Lin Xiyin forced a smile, turned to look at him, and asked, "Have you decided whether to go for a walk or sit down?"
"Have a seat." Pei Muyi took a few steps and opened the car door for her. "It's quieter here."
Suitable for two people to chat.
Both of them sat in the back seat.
The back seats of the luxury car are spacious, and you don't feel cramped at all.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk about the phone call, Pei Muyi had no choice but to ask first, "Ming Qingwan called you, did she say anything else?"
Lin Xiyin shook her head: "No. However, she emphasized to me several times that Qu Lianyi was your first love."
"Don't believe it!" Pei Muye's voice rose a few decibels: "It's not like that at all."
"Yes," Lin Xiyin said, "I believe you."
"Thank you." Pei Muye breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, no matter what she says, don't believe her."
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Hmm, I don't believe it."
Pei Muye looked at her: "Did she say something similar before that made you sad?"
“The past is the past,” Lin Xiyin said. “I am not so easily hurt now.”
Pei Muye knew very well that back then, Ming Qingwan was able to hurt Lin Xiyin because Lin Xiyin liked him.
But now, her heart is fearless, and Ming Qingwan can no longer hurt her.
For a moment, Pei Muye didn't know whether to be happy that she wouldn't be bullied anymore.
It's still heartbreaking; Lin Xiyin no longer values him as much.
However, none of this will affect his determination to pursue her.
Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and then said, "There's also the matter of your father contacting me."
“No matter what he says, he can’t control my thoughts,” Pei Muye said. “You don’t need to worry. I’ve said it before, I will live on my own after I get married.”
Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement.
Pei Muye further emphasized, "No matter who it is or what they say to you, you can come to me to verify it. I will tell you whatever you want to know."
"Is everything you tell me necessarily the truth?"
Pei Muye looked at her: "They say time will tell. Whether what I'm saying is true or not, you can use time to prove it. Is a lifetime enough?"
Lin Xiyin looked out of the car.
Pei Muye didn't bring up the topic again: "There's a fashion show this weekend, are you interested?"
Lin Xiyin asked in surprise, "You actually know about this?"
“I also know that the designer and Xiao Ruoyi are good friends,” Pei Muye said. “That’s why I asked if you wanted to go.”
"Yiyi and I have already made plans. We'll be there to support her." Lin Xiyin said.
Pei Muye said, "Okay, I'll go too. I'll buy you whatever you like."
