Chapter 154 You've got some serious tricks up your sleeve!
The two had a sweet time and a great time during their trip.
Huo Xianyang even once thought that Xiao Ruoyi was going to be with him for a long time.
During the ten-odd days the two were together, there were no arguments or disputes. Xiao Ruoyi was completely obedient and compliant.
Little did anyone know, she had a killer move in mind.
He came back and said he wanted to end it.
Moreover, she said, "It's a complete end."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xianyang tugged at his shirt collar.
He felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Xiao Ruoyi, what do you take me for?"
"I am a person too. I have a heart, and I feel pain too!"
"There's a limit to how much you can toy with me, isn't there?"
"How long are you going to punish me for a momentary mistake?"
"I'll accept any punishment you give me; I'll serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!"
"But why do you keep stabbing me in the heart?"
"If you want me dead, just say so. You don't need to beat around the bush."
After Huo Xianyang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, took the fresh milk out of the refrigerator, heated it up for her, and then slammed the door and left.
It was already late November, and the weather was getting cold. Xiao Ruoyi reached out and covered the porcelain cup with her hand, and smiled.
A month has passed since Pei Muyi learned the truth.
During this month, Lin Xiyin and he did not have much contact.
But Pei Muye and Lin Youxing were already very close.
After all, they are father and son by blood, and children can sense who is good to them.
Moreover, Pei Muye took him to a villa, where Pei Muye bought him a real excavator.
Although it is still a toy, it already has all the functions of an excavator.
Lin Youxing was overjoyed and didn't want to come back.
Pei Yaohai received news that Pei Muye was currying favor with Lin Xiyin's son with another man, and he almost had a heart attack from anger.
Zhou Yusu tried to calm him down, but her words only added fuel to the fire.
"Mu Ye is the same. How can someone so old be so confused? No matter how good the child is, he's still someone else's child. Does he really have to give that child inheritance rights if he remarries Lin Xiyin in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yaohai was so angry he almost jumped up: "He dares!"
Zhou Yusu said, "When someone is blinded by love, what wouldn't they do? This Lin Xiyin is quite capable."
Pei Yaohai said, "I'll go find him right now!"
"Who are you looking for? Mu Ye? Does he listen to you?" Zhou Yusu said, "You go find Lin Xiyin, I'll go with you. I don't believe that woman is so shameless!"
When Lin Xiyin received the call, she was still busy. She remembered this number from the last time Pei Yaohai called her.
What does Pei Yaohai want with her again?
She answered the call, and Pei Yaohai said directly, "I'm outside your school, come out."
Lin Xiyin couldn't stand his bad habit: "Mr. Pei, when you make an appointment to meet someone, you should at least tell them in advance."
"I'm an elder! Do I have to report to you before I can meet you?"
"Shouldn't elders also know the most basic social etiquette?"
"Stop talking so sharp-tongued, come out here right now!"
Lin Xiyin looked at the data in her hand and said, "I can't neglect my duties during working hours. So, if you have something to do, I'll leave work at 11:30, and we can meet then."
She hung up the phone after saying that.
Pei Yaohai was furious: "Look at her attitude!"
Zhou Yusu said, "Isn't it because they've got Mu Ye wrapped around their little finger? Now they don't even care about you anymore."
Thinking about it this way, Pei Yaohai became even angrier.
Lin Xiyin was busy until 11:20 before she packed her things and headed to the school gate.
She wasn't sure if Pei Yaohai was still waiting, but he wouldn't come without a reason, so there must be something going on today, and he would definitely meet with her.
When she arrived at the school gate, she called Pei Yaohai. Pei Yaohai didn't say anything else, only the name of the coffee shop.
It's right next to us.
Lin Xiyin went in, found a seat, and greeted them, "Hello, you two, what can I do for you?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yusu also came.
Pei Yaohai looked at her. He used to think she was quiet and a bit cold, but she was still obedient.
Looking at it now, it's clear that he was very scheming.
“I made my point very clear to you about your relationship with Mu Ye last time,” Pei Yaohai said, suppressing his anger. “If you have any self-respect or modesty as a girl, you shouldn’t be with him.”
“I am not with him.”
Lin Xiyin was telling the truth.
But clearly, Pei Yaohai didn't believe it, and Zhou Yusu believed it even less.
She said, "What do you have to hide from us? People have seen Mu Ye taking your child out to play, more than once. Lin Xiyin, you're quite cunning."
Even she wouldn't dare say that she could marry Pei Yaohai with a child she had with another man when she was young.
Lin Xiyin actually did it.
“He likes children, what can I do?” Lin Xiyin didn’t want to say more to them: “Instead of criticizing me here, you should go back and have a good talk with Pei Muye, and ask him why he likes my son.”
To Pei Yaohai, these words sounded like Lin Xiyin was arrogant and had Pei Muye completely under her thumb, so she wasn't afraid of him doing anything.
After Lin Xiyin finished speaking, she stood up and said, "I'll pay for the coffee. If this happens again, I hope you won't come looking for me. I can't control what Pei Muye does."
After saying that, she got up and left.
Pei Yaohai was furious, but he couldn't lower himself to chase after a junior and berate her.
Zhou Yusu was also very frustrated. She had prepared a whole bunch of things to say to mock and ridicule Lin Xiyin, but she didn't have a chance to say them.
"What should we do?" Zhou Yusu asked him, "Should we go check on Muye?"
Pei Yaohai was so angry his chest ached: "Go! I'm going to ask him what he's up to!"
The two of them went to Pei Muye's company in the middle of the day without having eaten lunch.
Coincidentally, Pei Muye wasn't at the company; he was out socializing.
The couple ate something casually in the cafeteria and then went to the conference room to wait.
Without Pei Muye's permission, the two of them couldn't even get into Pei Muye's office.
When Pei Muyi returned, it was already past two o'clock. He still didn't let them go to the office; instead, he went to the conference room.
He looked down at his phone, turned it off, and then looked at Pei Yaohai: "Did you need something?"
Pei Yaohai is still angry.
He asked directly, "What exactly is going on between you and Lin Xiyin? If you like children, hurry up and get married and have your own! Are you stupid to treat someone else's child as your own?"
Pei Muye said, "This is my own business, and I know what I'm doing."
"You know that? I think you've been bewitched!" Pei Yaohai said, "I don't approve of you two being together, and I especially don't approve of you bringing someone else's bastard child into the Pei family!"
"Dad!" Pei Muyi shouted sternly, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"You think I'm talking nonsense? I'm your father!" Pei Yaohai was furious: "How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son!"
Pei Muye was also very angry. If it weren't for Pei Muye saying those words, he would have hit someone.
Now that things have come to this, he is even less willing to tell Pei Yaohai Lin Youxing's true identity.
He didn't want Pei Yaohai to accept Lin Xiyin because of this.
Moreover, whether Pei Yaohai accepts it or not is not important to him.
"Lin Xiyin, that person, has become completely impervious to reason now! Tell me, aren't you..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Muye's expression grew even colder: "You went to see her again?"
"Can't I go to her?" Pei Yaohai said, "She's bewitched my son, and now she's eyeing my family fortune..."
Pei Muye interrupted him: "Who's eyeing your fortune? Do you have some kind of paranoia?"
Pei Muye didn't want to waste time with them. Before turning around, he said, "Don't bother her again. Otherwise, I don't know what I might do."
After saying that, he left directly, leaving them in the conference room.
Pei Yaohai has no say in the company and doesn't own many shares, so he can't do anything about Pei Muye.
Now he regrets his past idleness and lack of ambition.
If he were as capable as his father, he wouldn't be looked down upon by Pei Muyi like this now!
But he was completely helpless.
Pei Muye left the conference room and returned to his office, where he called Lin Xiyin.
After the call connected, he said, "I'm sorry, I won't let them bother you again."
Lin Xiyin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I see your father is reacting very strongly to this. Why don't you tell him about the child..."
“No need,” Pei Muye said. “This is my own business and has nothing to do with him.”
Ever since Pei Yaohai married Zhou Yusu, the relationship between Pei Muyi and him had long lost the intimacy between father and son, leaving only polite formalities and perfunctory interactions.
The old man took Pei Muye under his wing, showering him with love and care.
Pei Yaohai's fatherly love was all given to Pei Yunqing.
Lin Xiyin didn't say much more: "You don't need to worry about what he did to me. I won't care."
Since she wasn't with Pei Muye, she was innocent and wouldn't mind.
Pei Muye knew he still had a long way to go.
Lin Xiyin did not deliberately avoid him, but the more open she was, the more it showed that she no longer had the love she once had for him.
At the last fashion show, Lin Xiyin bought several outfits for Xiao Ruoyi.
He wanted to buy it for Lin Xiyin, but he didn't dare.
I'm pursuing her and want to give her an expensive gift, but I'm afraid she won't accept it.
He has recently been delegating company affairs to his subordinates as much as possible, freeing up more time to spend with his children.
I also want to have more contact with Lin Xiyin.
But Lin Xiyin's attitude made him very uneasy.
He didn't know what to do in the future, but he wouldn't give up.
“I told him he won’t come looking for you again.” Pei Muyi could only say this: “No matter what, this matter is my fault for not handling it well.”
The two chatted casually for a few more minutes before hanging up.
Pei Muye made a phone call and gave orders to his men to keep an eye on Pei Yaohai.
That way, if Pei Yaohai does anything outrageous again, he'll know.
In mid-November, Qu Jingyou's older brother got married. Only after attending the wedding did Qu Jingyou have time to meet and have dinner with Lin Xiyin.
Qu Jingyou had been helping with her brother's wedding, so the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Upon meeting, the two hugged. While they were chatting during their meal, Qu Jingyou's phone rang.
"Auntie, I'm eating. Yes, it's the same place we ate at last time. Would you like to come over?"
