Chapter 56 Pei Muye said: Explanation
From the first day of the Lunar New Year, people came to pay their respects to the Pei family in an endless stream.
With a family like the Peis', anyone who comes to pay New Year's visits must be either rich or noble.
Moreover, it was a traditional and important festival like the Spring Festival, so those who came to the house were basically the people in power.
The majority of people are in their fifties and sixties.
Very few people are like Pei Muyi, who takes charge of the family at such a young age.
Lin Xiyin tried her best to cooperate and be a generous and proper daughter-in-law of the Pei family.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiyin originally planned to go back to her parents' home.
When I woke up in the morning and went to the bathroom, I found a little brown bloodstain on my underwear.
She was terrified and almost lost her balance.
How could this happen?
She quickly dressed and ran downstairs.
There was no one downstairs, and she didn't notice, hurrying to get her car.
She had to take several deep breaths before she could start the car.
Throughout the journey, she kept telling herself not to rush and not to be afraid.
Even in this cold weather, her back was still soaked with sweat.
The palms of his hands, gripping the steering wheel, were sweaty.
Lin Xiyin had always known that she was looking forward to the arrival of this child.
Because of his well-behaved nature, I liked him even more.
But it wasn't until this moment that she realized she loved this little life.
Now that he was inside her, she regarded him as her own flesh and blood.
If something were to happen to him... Lin Xiyin didn't know how to face it.
The long-forgotten feeling of heartache once again overwhelmed her.
She finally drove to the best local hospital, the same hospital where Lin Yiming had been hospitalized.
Even though it was still the Spring Festival holiday, there were significantly fewer people in the hospital.
When Lin Xiyin was registering with her ID, her fair fingertips trembled slightly.
Baby, you can't be hurt.
Baby, Mommy loves you.
Perhaps because her face was too pale, when the staff member handed her the receipt, they said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
She forced a smile, thanked them, and turned to take the elevator.
The elevator, which used to be packed with people, was only occupied by a few scattered individuals today.
Lin Xiyin quickly went inside, and the elevator doors slowly closed.
Lu Zuofan withdrew his gaze, frowned, and then took out his phone to make a call.
Pei Muyi, who was still jogging in the morning, was wearing headphones and his voice was slightly out of breath: "What's up?"
"Holy crap!" Before Lu Zuofan could even say who he'd run into, he was startled by Pei Muye's breathing: "Don't tell me you were doing *that* kind of thing so early in the morning. Wait, that's not right, I just saw Lin Xiyin, so who were you with...?"
Pei Muye interrupted him coldly: "I'm jogging, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, running, huh?"
"You just said you saw Lin Xiyin? Where are you?"
"I'm at the hospital."
"The hospital?" Pei Muye stopped in his tracks. "Is she alone?"
"Yes, I saw her register and then go upstairs."
"knew."
"Hey! You didn't even ask me why I'm in the hospital, or if we're even brothers anymore?"
Pei Muye wiped the sweat from his forehead: "So what are you doing at the hospital during the New Year?"
"Don't even mention it." Lu Zuofan's voice carried a hint of anger: "I was tricked by a woman. She got pregnant, and I brought her here for an abortion."
Pei Muye knew that Lu Zuofan was a playboy who changed girlfriends every few days.
But they also knew very well that none of the girlfriends Lu Zuofan had dated could ever enter the Lu family.
Sooner or later, the Lu family will find him a girl of equal social standing to be their daughter-in-law.
Before that, Lu Zuofan would certainly not allow other women of unknown origin to have his children.
Pei Muye hummed in agreement: "I'm hanging up."
He quickly dialed another number.
He answered after one ring: "Brother-in-law!"
Pei Muye asked, "Is your uncle going to the hospital today?"
"Yeah!" Lin Zihao said, "Did my sister tell you?"
Pei Muye's knuckles, gripping the phone, turned slightly white: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Zihao was still confused when he heard the other end hang up.
What did Pei Muyi know?
Pei Muyi stopped running away and returned home, where the maid, who had already returned to work, was setting out breakfast.
Pei Yaohai told him, "Xiyin hasn't come down yet, go and call her to come eat."
Pei Muye was about to go upstairs to take a shower: "She went to the hospital; her father is having a follow-up check-up today."
Pei Yaohai nodded: "Is that so? Aren't you going to go and see? After all, you're someone's son-in-law."
"I'm not going."
Pei Yaohai frowned: "You child. A son-in-law is like half a son. Xiyin is a girl after all. If anything happens to her at the hospital, you can help her."
Pei Muye went upstairs in silence.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
Pei Yaohai called to him, "Come and eat."
"I'm not eating," he said in a deep voice. "I have a meeting."
"A meeting today?" Pei Yaohai asked, puzzled. "Are you at work today?"
"superior."
Pei Muye said this as he went out the door, got into his car, and drove away quickly.
Lin Xiyin sat in front of the doctor and described her symptoms.
The doctor smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, don't be too nervous. Let's draw some blood first."
Lin Xiyin's agitated and anxious heart was instantly soothed.
She obediently took the form to pay the fee and then went to have her blood drawn.
Back in the waiting area outside the clinic, Lin Xiyin finally calmed down.
While she was waiting, her phone rang; it was Lin Zihao calling.
Lin Xiyin answered the phone and hurriedly said, "I have something to do today and I might not be able to go home. Why don't you accompany my dad to the hospital? I'll transfer the money to you."
Lin Zihao said, "No wonder no one came after waiting for so long. Okay, I'll go with him. Oh, by the way, my brother-in-law called."
"What's wrong with him?"
He asked his uncle if he was going to the hospital today, but didn't say anything else.
Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement: "Don't worry about him."
After hanging up the phone, she transferred some money to Lin Zihao.
After waiting another half hour, she went to the self-service machine and printed out her test results.
After examining me, the doctor said, "It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Just rest and don't be too stressed. You'll be fine in a few days."
Lin Xiyin asked, "Do we need to come back for a follow-up check?"
"You don't need to come back once the symptoms disappear. If you have any other problems, then come back. Don't worry, this is a very common problem and it won't affect the child."
Lin Xiyin finally felt reassured.
It really scared her to death this morning.
She queued up to get her medicine, and while waiting for her number to be called, she called Xiao Ruoyi.
It rang seven or eight times before they answered.
Xiao Ruoyi's voice still carried a strong sense of sleepiness.
"Yiyi, you're not up yet?" Lin Xiyin said hurriedly, "Then you go back to sleep."
"It's nothing, I'm awake." Xiao Ruoyi's voice was a little hoarse: "What happened?"
Are you free tonight? Want to have dinner together?
Xiao Ruoyi asked, "Are there no guests at the Pei family today?"
"No one today, they've probably all gone back to their parents' home."
“Okay,” Xiao Ruoyi said. “What would you like to eat? It’s on me.”
After agreeing on a time and place, Xiao Ruoyi hung up the phone.
Then, a large hand appeared on her slender waist.
"Lin Xiyin?" the man asked.
Xiao Ruoyi hummed in agreement, then slapped the man's hand away.
The man leaned closer, his entire chest pressed against Xiao Ruoyi's bare back.
Xiao Ruoyi reached for a cigarette on the bedside table, lit it, and whispered, "Let go."
The man took the cigarette from her mouth, took a puff himself, and then said, "They say men are heartless when it comes to sex, but I think you are the heartless one."
“Huo Xianyang,” Xiao Ruoyi frowned at him, “I begged you to come last night?”
"No, I just shamelessly followed you here."
The man beside her was none other than Huo Xianyang.
Xiao Ruoyi pushed him away, dressed herself as if no one else was around, then took her handbag, took out a wad of cash, and threw it at him: "Payment."
Cash bills were scattered all over the man.
Huo Xianyang casually picked up a bill and smiled: "Is this all I'm worth?"
Xiao Ruoyi was already dressed and glanced at him: "I don't care what price you offer, this is my budget. If you think it's beneath you, don't volunteer next time."
After saying that, she left.
Huo Xianyang bit his lower lip, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, swore, and dutifully accepted all the cash before starting to get dressed.
His phone rang, and he answered it impatiently, saying, "Speak!"
"Why are you in such a bad mood so early in the morning?" Chi Tianlin's voice rang out. "Aren't you home? Your aunt and the others are back. Where are you?"
Huo Xianyang asked, "Did my mother go?"
"I got back early this morning," Chi Tianlin said. "Where are you?"
"I'll be back in half an hour."
Chi Tianlin asked, "You're not hiding a mistress somewhere, are you? Spending the night outside during the New Year."
"So what if it is?"
"What else? If you dare to mess around, I'll have my aunt deal with you."
"Your aunt will only be happy that I'm finally interested in women."
"Tch." Chi Tianlin scoffed. "That's pathetic."
“Yeah, I’m a good-for-nothing,” Huo Xianyang said. “You, a virgin who’s never had a woman, are a good-for-nothing.”
Chi Tianlin, enraged and embarrassed, retorted: "Get lost! I just don't think much of them!"
At that moment, Lu Zuofan's phone rang at the hospital.
He answered the phone: "Makino, what's wrong?"
Pei Muye asked him, "Is it finished on your end?"
"Not yet." Lu Zuofan said irritably, "They need to do a blood test and an electrocardiogram. They just went into the operating room."
"Where are you?"
"Sixth floor of the outpatient department... wait, what are you doing?"
"I've come over to take a look."
Lu Zuofan was shocked: "What are you looking at? She's just an insignificant woman. She schemed against me, and I'll settle the score with her later!"
They had agreed to only talk about money, not love, but this woman still tried to use the child to tie him down and make him the young mistress of the Lu family.
Pei Muye said, "No matter what, this is your first child."
Lu Zuofan wanted to curse: "Are you here to gloat, you bastard!"
Pei Muye said calmly, "I've hung up. I'm in the elevator."
On the sixth floor, to the left, is the gynecology department, which, in addition to providing medical care, also has outpatient operating rooms.
On the right is the maternity ward, where many women with large bellies are coming and going.
Pei Muye stepped out of the elevator and casually glanced around, spotting Lin Xiyin weaving among several pregnant women.
What is she doing here?
Pei Muye watched as she entered an office, and he quickly walked over.
The doctor explained to Lin Xiyin how to take the medicine and then comforted her, saying, "Take it for three days and see. The child is fine. Eat well, rest well, and don't be too nervous."
After thanking her, Lin Xiyin left the office and put the boxes of medicine into her bag.
"Lin Xiyin!"
Lin Xiyin suddenly looked up, staring at the man in front of her in disbelief.
Pei Muye's gaze was cold, and his voice was deep: "Explain."
