Chapter 224 Have pity on me
Yan Chengyu's son, Yan Jindong, is already married and has established his own career. He now works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and his wife is his college classmate. His family is in business.
The two have a very good relationship.
Qu Jianhang met with them, thus fulfilling one of Yan Chengyu's wishes.
Meanwhile, Pei Muye also received a call from Pei Yaohai.
"I heard that Qu Jianhang and that high-ranking official got their marriage certificate. Is it true?"
Pei Muye's tone was icy: "What's it to you?"
"I'm your father!" Pei Yaohai was furious: "What kind of attitude is this?"
"What kind of attitude do you expect from me?" Pei Muye said, "After what you've done, do you expect me to be respectful to you?"
"What did I do? All I did was contact Lin Xiyin once. Is it really necessary for you to hold a grudge until now? Besides, I don't object to you two being together anymore..."
"You don't object because you know Qu Jianhang is her mother, right?"
Pei Yaohai felt a little uncomfortable, but still spoke firmly: "No matter what, if you are all well, then I, as an elder, will be relieved of a worry."
Is there anything else?
Pei Yaohai said, "Bring Xiyin back for a meal sometime. Now that you two are together again, I should also meet Xiyin's mother."
We'll see.
"What do you mean 'we'll talk about it later'!" Pei Yaohai snapped. "Make a decision right now!"
Pei Muye gave a casual "hmm," hung up the phone, and irritably pinched the bridge of his nose.
Regardless of the circumstances, Pei Yaohai is his father.
I will definitely need to meet him before I marry Lin Xiyin.
His desire to see Qu Jianhang is also perfectly understandable.
But when Pei Muyi thought of Zhou Yusu and Pei Yaohai had once sought out Lin Xiyin, he had no desire for them to meet.
If he could, he would only want to marry Lin Xiyin and live a life together.
But the bond of blood ties was something he couldn't sever.
He was busy until after 5 p.m., and just as he was about to call Lin Xiyin, his phone rang.
It turned out to be Qu Jianhang calling.
He quickly took it and said, "Auntie."
Qu Jianhang said, "Muye, your dad called me and said that our two families need to meet and have a meal together. Do you know about this?"
"My dad called you?" Pei Muyi was taken aback. "When did this happen?"
"Just now," Qu Jianhang said. "I figured we'd have to meet sooner or later, so I agreed. But then I thought, why did it have to be your dad who contacted me personally? Looks like you didn't know."
"Auntie, I'm sorry about this... I'll talk to him about it. We can talk about the meal later, you don't need to worry about him."
Pei Muye hung up the phone and then called Pei Yaohai.
Pei Yaohai was talking to Zhou Yusu: "They agreed, and their attitude is very good. From now on, we'll be in-laws, one family."
Zhou Yusu quickly said, "Then I'll go pack my things too. Oh, and shall we take Yunqing with us?"
Pei Yaohai said, "Of course! You'll learn a lot from having dinner with someone like Qu Jianhang. Let Yun Qing go too."
Just as Zhou Yusu was about to call Pei Yunqing, Pei Yaohai called, and Pei Yaohai answered.
Pei Muye's voice was filled with anger: "Who told you to call Yinyin's mother?"
Pei Yaohai went through several people before finally getting Qu Jianhang's phone number.
After he called and introduced himself, Qu Jianhang treated him very kindly.
Upon hearing Pei Muye's voice, Pei Yaohai immediately became angry: "What kind of attitude is this? You're with Xiyin now, isn't it normal for me to have a meal with her mother?"
“I’ll decide this,” Pei Muye said. “Don’t contact people alone in the future.”
After Pei Muye finished speaking, before Pei Yaohai could say anything, he added, "Also, even if you're going to meet her, she'll only meet with you. Don't go with anyone else."
"What do you mean!" Pei Yaohai immediately flared up: "Your mother has been gone for so many years, and your aunt is still your elder..."
“I said, no one else is allowed to go,” Pei Muyi said. “If you don’t agree, then don’t meet.”
He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Pei Yaohai was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
Lin Xiyin's mother was actually Qu Jianhang. Even if Pei Yaohai had no ambition, he would definitely have to consider Pei Yunqing's future.
The Pei family's business is all in Pei Muye's hands, so Pei Yunqing can't get any benefits.
But both sons are equally dear to him, and besides, Zhou Yusu is always whispering in his ear, so he definitely wants to take better care of his youngest son.
If we can build a good relationship with Qu Jianhang, aside from anything else, we can get Qu Jianhang to introduce Pei Yunqing to a few well-bred young ladies, and then we can collaborate on a few projects. Wouldn't that make our youngest son successful?
Pei Yaohai had a good plan, but little did he know, Pei Muye wouldn't give him the chance at all.
Pei Muye didn't actually know what he was thinking; he simply disliked Zhou Yusu and Pei Yunqing. Even when the two families met, he only allowed Pei Yaohai to go.
Who is Zhou Yusu?
How could she possibly take her mother's place?
Pei Muye hung up on Pei Yaohai and then called Qu Jianhang.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry, I didn't handle things well today. As for my dad... please don't pay any attention to him. And please don't answer his calls from now on."
Qu Jianhang was also a little embarrassed: "Mu Ye, after all, he is your father."
“I told you before that if the two families meet, only my father will be there. I will not acknowledge his current wife and son as my family.”
Pei Muyi is not a heartless person. If he can say that, Zhou Yusu must have done something.
Qu Jianhang said, "I understand. Whether we should meet in the future, and when we should meet, is up to you."
"thank you."
When Qu Jianhang returned home that night, he asked Lin Xiyin, "Does he have a bad relationship with his stepmother?"
Lin Xiyin recalled Zhou Yusu's previous attitude towards her, and looking at Qu Jianhang's concerned eyes, she couldn't help but feel a surge of grievance.
After hearing Lin Xiyin's words, Qu Jianhang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"She's an elder, how could she be so harsh?"
“Mom,” Lin Xiyin regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking, “After all, she’s not Pei Muyi’s biological mother, so it’s understandable that she’s biased towards her own son. Don’t be angry. Back then… I didn’t actually have much contact with her back then, and I didn’t live in the old house for very long.”
"Alright, Mom knows. I used to think she was an elder, so why doesn't Mu Ye want me to see her? You don't need to pay any attention to her anymore. I think Mu Ye doesn't want to live with them anymore."
"Yes," Lin Xiyin said. "I won't have any contact with them in the future. Even Pei Muye's father, I probably won't... Pei Muye once told me not to worry about him. Actually, he used to be quite nice to me."
"You're just too kind, that's why people bully you." Qu Jianhang stroked her hair. "With Mom around, let's see who dares to bully you again!"
Lin Xiyin hugged her: "Yes, it's so good to have a mom. Thank you, Mom!"
After dinner, Pei Muye asked her to go for a walk.
The little guy wanted to practice calligraphy, so Lin Xiyin gave him a few instructions and then quietly went out.
Pei Muye adjusted her scarf and asked, "Are you cold? Do you want to go home or walk around?"
"Didn't you say you were going for a walk?"
"I was afraid you'd be cold."
"It's not cold."
Pei Muye took her hand and put it in his coat pocket: "Let's take a walk then."
Lin Xiyin nestled against him, feeling incredibly happy at that moment.
“I told Auntie last time that I wanted to meet my dad, and only him,” Pei Muye said. “Even at our wedding, I don’t want those two people to attend.”
Lin Xiyin said, "Our wedding is, of course, up to us."
"You support me?"
“Of course,” Lin Xiyin said. “I don’t like people you don’t like either.”
Pei Muye stopped and hugged her, not wanting to move anymore.
Lin Xiyin pushed him: "Hey, don't do that, someone will see us."
"We're dating, what's wrong with hugging? We didn't do anything else."
Even so, Lin Xiyin was still very shy.
The main reason is that several families living nearby know Qu Jianhang.
Some of them were elders, and Qu Jianhang made her call them uncles and aunts because she was afraid they would see her.
"Then, come back with me?"
Pei Muye asked a question, and when he saw her nod, he smiled gently and led her towards another house.
We arrived in less than two minutes.
The two went upstairs, and as soon as they entered, Pei Muye couldn't wait to kiss her.
Lin Xiyin's hands and feet went weak from his kisses.
He finally stopped kissing, picked her up, and carried her inside.
He placed Lin Xiyin on the bed, and then he immediately pressed himself on top of her.
Lin Xiyin's breathing was erratic: "I, I have to go back later..."
"How about we don't go back?" Pei Muye coaxed her. "I might have to go on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back."
"Huh?" Lin Xiyin was a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly have to go on a business trip?"
"I don't want to go either, but there's a project that I have to be there in person." Pei Muyue kissed her, "I won't be able to see you for several days, sweetie, have pity on me, okay?"
"Then I'll tell my mom."
Pei Muye took his phone out of her pocket: "Tell me now."
"So anxious..."
"Do you think I'm in a hurry?" Pei Muye kissed her earlobe. "I've missed you so much..."
"You..." Lin Xiyin was ticklish and shrank back, begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll tell her now."
I can't make phone calls like this, I can only send messages to Qu Jianhang.
As soon as the message was sent, Pei Muye grabbed her phone, placed it beside him, and then kissed her.
Qu Jianhang replied to Lin Xiyin, telling her to rest assured and sleep peacefully over there.
Lin Xiyin didn't reply. Qu Jianhang smiled and was about to put his phone down when Yan Chengyu called.
She answered the phone and asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Yan Chengyu hummed in agreement: "What about you? Did you go to the company today?"
Qu Jianhang said, "I went, but I came back in the afternoon."
"The doctor said that although you are fine, you should still be careful in the future and not overwork yourself."
“I know,” Qu Jianhang laughed. “Don’t just talk about me. You’re working overtime every day, going on business trips, reading documents, and you have a bad stomach. You don’t even know how to take care of yourself.”
"Now I understand. After all, I want to grow old with you. I don't want to be old and sitting in a wheelchair watching you dance in the square with other old men."
Qu Jianhang laughed uncontrollably: "You're really funny."
"Let's meet tomorrow? I'll pick you up after work."
