Chapter 175 You're such a disobedient child
Lin Xiyin originally did not want to discuss this topic.
It's always a little awkward for a daughter to talk about her mother's love life.
But their relationship is different.
And my father has been gone for so many years.
Lin Xiyin wanted to use this attitude to let her know that she supported her dating.
"We're not talking about it..." Qu Jianhang said a little embarrassedly, "Well, I wouldn't call it talking about it. I don't have any intention of getting married."
"So...do you like him?"
Qu Jianhang said, "I don't rule it out."
Is it simply a matter of not being averse to it?
Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, you're still young and should have your own life. Don't have any concerns because of me and Youyou. I support you dating."
"Thank you, daughter." Qu Jianhang hugged her. "I know you support me, but I will follow my own heart. If I really want to be with him, I will ask for your opinions."
"I agree. I agree as long as you are happy."
Qu Jianhang patted her hair: "Then another day...would you like to meet him?"
“Okay,” Lin Xiyin said. “He must be a very outstanding person.”
Moreover, Lin Xiyin felt that Yan Chengyu's feelings for Qu Jianhang were definitely more than just not being rejected.
For Qu Jianhang to take him to heart and even want to meet him, Yan Chengyu must be special to her.
"Shouldn't we talk about Pei Muye?" Qu asked. "What are your thoughts on him, Ruan Ruan?"
Lin Xiyin pulled the blanket up a little higher; "Mom, let's go to sleep, it's getting late."
"What, you don't want to talk about him?"
"Not really," Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to put it."
"It's okay if you don't know. Whatever decision you make, Mom will support you. Just remember, no matter what, Mom will always be your strong support!"
Lin Xiyin felt a warm glow in her heart.
She was once isolated and helpless.
When she wanted to divorce Pei Muye, everyone in the Lin family opposed it.
Moreover, she firmly told her to apologize to Pei Muye.
Ignore her feelings and disregard her emotions.
They just didn't want to lose Pei Muyi as their son-in-law.
Now, Qu Jianhang tells her that no matter what decision she makes, her mother will support her.
She also said that her mother is her strong support.
Lin Xiyin nestled against her, her eyes reddening.
She's been having huge emotional ups and downs these past few days, and she's cried countless times.
But she knew very well that from now on, she would be accompanied mostly by happiness and joy.
With her mother around, I doubt anyone can bully her.
She doesn't care how much money her mother has, but she doesn't mind having such a wealthy mother.
She's not stupid. Her mother has money, so why would she be upset?
This is the icing on the cake.
Lin Xiyin was too tired these past few days and fell asleep quickly.
Qu Jianhang, however, couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.
My daughter is right beside me.
The inner demon that had haunted her for over twenty years was finally dispelled.
She can finally face her beloved's passing and say to him without shame, "Our daughter, I have found her."
Over the years, she has suffered, blamed herself, and lived in guilt.
Her lover was gone, and she had lost their child.
If I go down there and meet him again, I don't know how to explain it to him.
Now, thank goodness, she has finally found her daughter.
The burden on my heart can now be lifted.
Qu Jianhang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and dared not make too much noise for fear of waking Lin Xiyin.
Having no other choice, she got up and went to the living room.
Bored, I opened my phone and sent Yan Chengyu an emoji.
I can't sleep.
Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, the words "The other party is typing" appeared on the screen.
Is Yan Chengyu still awake at this hour?
It's almost 2 o'clock.
Soon, his message came: "Would you mind calling?"
Qu Jianhang called him.
He answered immediately.
"Why aren't you resting yet?" Qu Jianhang asked. "You can't possibly still be in a meeting at this hour, can you?"
"Something's happened somewhere, and I have to rush over there tonight," Yan Chengyu said. "I don't know when I'll be back."
Qu Jianhang asked, "Is there any danger?"
"No," Yan Chengyu said. "You owe me a meal. When are you going to pay me back?"
"I'll wait for you to come back," Qu Jianhang said. "And I'll introduce you to my daughter while I'm at it."
"Really?" Yan Chengyu was somewhat surprised. "Is this your idea, or your daughter's?"
"Mine, are you satisfied now?"
Yan Chengyu smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Is there anything else to say now?" Qu Jianhang asked. "You're such a grown man, and you're still jealous."
Yan Chengyu felt a little embarrassed, after all, the driver and secretary were in front.
He said, "We'll talk about it when I get back."
"Okay, be careful."
Qu Jianhang hung up the phone after saying that.
When Lin Xiyin woke up in the morning, she found herself alone in the bedroom.
Qu Jianhang didn't know when she got up; she hadn't heard a sound from him.
After washing up, she went to the living room and saw that there was a person lying on the sofa, which was Qu Jianhang.
She was wrapped in a blanket and fast asleep.
Afraid of waking her, Lin Xiyin tiptoed to Lin Youxing's bedroom.
When Qu Jianhang woke up, the house was very quiet.
Aunt Zhao was doing handicrafts nearby. When she saw her open her eyes, she smiled and asked, "Are you awake? Are you hungry?"
Qu Jianhang was momentarily stunned, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
She quickly came to her senses and remembered where she was.
"I'm not hungry, Sister Zhao. Where are Ruan Ruan and the baby?"
"Ruanruan had something to do at school today and left early this morning. Oh dear... Mr. Pei came to pick him up and took him to his early education class."
Qu Jianhang scratched his head: "Did I sleep that soundly?"
"Ruan Ruan told us that you probably didn't sleep well last night and asked us to keep our voices down. Youyou walks so tiptoe, it's so cute."
Just imagining that scene, Qu Jianhang couldn't help but smile.
Aunt Zhao said, "I'm so happy to hear about what happened to you. I used to live with Yiyi and I knew Ruanruan. She's had a tough life."
Qu Jianhang asked, "Sister Zhao, is there something I don't know?"
Aunt Zhao said, "Her bizarre parents... oh, I should say adoptive parents. When Ruan Ruan wanted a divorce, they wouldn't let her, and even insisted that Ruan Ruan apologize to Pei Muye. I heard all this from Yi Yi, and Yi Yi was really angry at the time."
Qu Jianhang was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What else did her adoptive parents do?"
Aunt Zhao felt that there were some things that Qu Jianhang needed to know.
Why should Lin Xiyin suffer all the injustices alone?
From an outsider's perspective, Lin Xiyin did not betray her adoptive parents. Even when she was abroad and raising the child alone was so difficult, she still insisted on sending them money every month.
Aunt Zhao told me everything she knew.
She watched Xiao Ruoyi grow up, and their relationship was like that of a mother and daughter.
So Xiao Ruoyi told her many things.
When Qu Jianhang heard about what the Lin family couple had done, his first reaction was heartache.
I feel so sorry for Lin Xiyin. I can only imagine how painful it must have been for her without knowing the truth.
She had previously asked Lin Xiyin how her adoptive parents treated her, and Lin Xiyin had said they were quite good.
This child is just too kind.
They were not a wealthy family and could not provide Lin Xiyin with a rich material life.
She doesn't blame them.
Not everyone is born into privilege or comes from a wealthy family.
But since they adopted Lin Xiyin, they should treat her as their own child and love her with all their heart.
What the hell is this Lin Zihao?
Not only did they buy him a house, but they also sold the house that Lin Xiyin had bought before?
Just to pay off Lin Zihao's gambling debts?
What kind of parents are these?
Qu Jianhang grew angrier the more he thought about it.
If it weren't for Lin Yiming's illness, she would have gone to their door right now and taught them a lesson.
Aunt Zhao made breakfast for Qu Jianhang. She ate while chatting with Aunt Zhao. By the time she left, it was almost noon.
Pei Muye then had someone deliver lunch to Lin Xiyin.
After receiving the message, Lin Xiyin sent him a message: Didn't I say that you don't need to bring me food anymore?
Pei Muye replied: I'm afraid you'll forget about me now that you have a mother, so let me remind you of my presence.
Although it sounded like a joke, Lin Xiyin sensed his unease.
She didn't know how to reply, so after thinking for a moment, she said: "Mom won't influence my decision."
Pei Muye smiled and replied: I will try my best.
What they were working hard for, they both knew perfectly well.
However, Lin Xiyin didn't know when she would be able to truly accept Pei Muye.
She seems to have lost the power of love now, like...like an old woman in her twilight years, no longer interested in anything.
They were like a completely颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of decadence, listlessness, or apathy) young person who had given up entirely, just getting by.
Of course, this mentality is limited to its manifestation in matters of love.
She has a very positive attitude towards her work.
Within minutes, Qu Jianhang's message arrived: Ruan Ruan, have you eaten?
Lin Xiyin replied to her while eating: I'm eating. My lunch was sent by Pei Muyi.
Qu Jianhang said: Not delivering it personally, bad review.
Lin Xiyin smiled: Has Mom eaten?
Even just seeing those two words on the screen made Qu Jianhang feel incredibly satisfied.
The two most beautiful words in the world are probably "mother".
Qu Jianhang has already spoken with his family, and they all said they would accommodate Lin Xiyin's schedule.
We'll meet whenever she's free.
Anyway, they had already prepared the gifts in advance.
Qu Chongyou, in particular, listened to her sister's advice and bought a lot of things that girls like.
Qu Jianhang asked her: Are you free tonight? Do you want to meet up with your grandma and the others?
To be honest, Lin Xiyin wasn't ready yet.
The Qu family was such a large family; just thinking about it made her a little scared.
Besides, it was her first time visiting her elders, and she hadn't prepared a gift yet.
She asked: "Mom, what do Grandma and Grandpa like?"
Qu Jianhang said directly: You don't need to prepare anything. Your presence is already the best gift for them.
Lin Xiyin felt this was inappropriate.
She's a junior; you can't just go empty-handed, even if you only bring some fruit.
She replied: If Mom doesn't tell me, then I'll prepare it myself.
Qu Jianhang had no choice but to call.
Lin Xiyin continued, "Mom, are you really not going to tell me?"
Qu Jianhang sighed: "Why are you so disobedient, child?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "It's okay to be a little rebellious at this time."
"Your maternal grandmother loved perfume, she loved it her whole life." Qu Jianhang had no choice but to say, "Your maternal grandfather loves calligraphy and paintings. I'll prepare these things for you."
