Chapter 25 Have they really taken a liking to each other?
Lu Xuemei was taken aback, then slapped her: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Xiyin went to see Lin Yiming: "Dad, do you also support Zihao doing business?"
Lin Yiming said, "He wants to give it a try, so we can't deny him a chance."
"How can we give him a chance?" Lin Xiyin said, "Does our family have the means? Are you planning to sell the house or sell your blood?"
"Xiyin!" Lin Yiming frowned. "Why are you talking so rudely? He's your brother!"
“He really is my own brother,” Lin Xiyin said. “Ever since he came to our family, all you've ever seen is him. What am I, your own daughter, to you?”
Lu Xuemei pulled her back: "Ruan Ruan, don't say that, your brother's parents are gone..."
"Mom, you don't need to tell me these things. I've never had a problem with how good you are to my brother. But there has to be a limit to how good you are to him. It's the same with buying the house before. Our family simply doesn't have the ability to afford it. Why can't we face reality?"
Lu Xuemei glanced at her: "Well, isn't that what you're here for?"
"Mom!" Lin Xiyin knew what she was up to, and her heart ached even more: "I'm about to divorce Pei Muye, and you're still after him?"
Lin Yiming immediately said, "You're still bringing up divorce? Didn't you promise me you wouldn't get a divorce?"
Lin Xiyin smiled expressionlessly: "Dad, because of our family's situation, I can't even hold my head up in front of Pei Muyi! Do you know how painful that is for me?"
Lu Xuemei was taken aback for a moment, then said, "How could you think that? He's your husband, and his money is all your joint property. Besides, our family hasn't spent much of his money..."
Joint property?
Lin Xiyin felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
But she didn't want to tell her parents those things anymore.
She simply said, "Mom and Dad, let's not talk about that anymore. I just want to tell you that I have no objection to you helping Zihao, but you should also act within your means."
Lin Yiming and Lu Xuemei exchanged a glance before saying, "Ruanruan, you are your parents' biological daughter. No matter how close Zihao is, he's still your nephew, there's a distance between them. Don't overthink it, your parents definitely put you first."
Lin Yiming's words sounded nice, and Lin Xiyin didn't refute them.
After all, since Lin Zihao came to her house, these things, one after another, are irrefutable evidence that Lin Yiming and Lu Xuemei are biased towards him.
Lin Xiyin isn't stupid; she will stick to her bottom line.
She will be good to her parents, but she won't be blindly obedient.
She would also help Lin Zihao, but only within her means.
Lin Zihao isn't her biological brother, and she doesn't owe him anything. She wouldn't do anything against her principles for him.
She had said everything she needed to say, and if they continued to indulge Lin Zihao, there was nothing she could do.
But she would no longer allow them to borrow money from Pei Muye.
Lu Xuemei stayed at the hospital for a day, and after Lin Xiyin arrived, she told her to go home and rest.
Just as Lu Xuemei was about to leave, Lin Xiyin's phone rang.
She answered the phone: "Zihao."
Lu Xuemei stopped again.
She said, "Ask your brother if he has eaten, and tell him not to come to the hospital, just go home."
Before Lin Xiyin could say anything, someone called out, "Sister! Come quick! I have something to do here!"
Lin Xiyin asked curiously, "Where are you? What's wrong?"
"I've run into some trouble, sis, can you come and help me?" Lin Zihao pleaded in his voice, "Sis, please!"
Lin Xiyin frowned: "Zihao, I'm at the hospital, I can't get there. Stop making trouble and go home early."
"Sister!" Lin Zihao's voice was tinged with anger. "I already told you I was busy! Where's Auntie? Let Auntie answer the phone!"
Exhausted, Lin Xiyin handed her phone to Lu Xuemei.
After hearing a few words from him on the phone, Lu Xuemei immediately became anxious: "I'll have your sister come over right now! Don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, she said to Lin Xiyin, "Your brother is in some trouble, you should go and take a look!"
Lin Xiyin glanced at her, her lips moved, but she ultimately said nothing. She picked up her phone, turned around, and left the ward.
Lu Xuemei's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took two steps forward: "Ruan Ruan!"
Lin Xiyin placed her hand on the doorknob; she neither turned around nor spoke.
Ultimately, her concern for Lin Zihao prevailed, and Lu Xuemei didn't hesitate any longer: "Go quickly, call me if anything happens!"
Lin Xiyin gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It's ironic that she still has expectations of her parents, expecting them to put her first.
No matter what, what they care about most is still Lin Zihao.
But why?
She is their biological daughter!
She wasn't a jealous person, nor was she intolerant of Lin Zihao, so why... were her own parents so blatantly biased?
She couldn't understand it.
Following Lin Zihao's address, they arrived at the place only to find it was an upscale club.
Although it's not as luxurious as the places Pei Muyi and his ilk frequent, where you need to have hundreds of millions in assets to become a member.
But it's a place that ordinary people don't dare to go in and spend money.
Why is Lin Zihao here?
After Lin Xiyin went inside and gave the room number, someone led her there.
At this moment, inside the private room, Lin Zihao looked smug and arrogant: "My sister will be here soon. You didn't believe me when I told you, but you'll believe me when she arrives!"
A man next to him spoke up: "If you really are Pei Muye's brother-in-law, then you're being far too low-key! Who is Pei Muye? In Haicheng, if he coughs, the whole place will shake!"
Another person scoffed and said, "Who knows? Anyone can brag."
When Lin Xiyin came in, Lin Zihao had just finished downing a glass of wine.
When he saw Lin Xiyin, he immediately stood up and came over to greet her: "Sister, you're here!"
The private room was filled with smoke and the smell of alcohol mixed together, which was very unpleasant.
Lin Xiyin stood at the door, her brows furrowed deeply.
Lin Zihao didn't notice her expression and pulled her inside.
Lin Xiyin broke free from his hand and called out to him, "Zihao."
Lin Zihao then noticed that her expression was off, and his heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, he was still a little wary of Lin Xiyin.
He quickly said, "Sister, these people are all my friends. We'll be doing business together in the future."
They're here today to attract investment. Developing a game requires investing money upfront. He and his classmates, except for the one who came today who comes from a well-off family, are all ordinary people.
That classmate met up with a few wealthy people in the circle today, and they drank some alcohol. Lin Zihao couldn't stand their behavior, and his vanity got the better of him, so he said that Pei Muye was his brother-in-law.
Those people naturally didn't believe it, so Lin Zihao called Lin Xiyin.
"Then why did you call me here?" Lin Xiyin had just glanced inside and saw a room full of men and women, and the way they were looking at her was not quite right.
In such a place, with such a group of people, Lin Xiyin couldn't possibly feel any goodwill towards them.
"Why don't you meet them?" Lin Zihao didn't dare say it aloud; he had brought Lin Xiyin to show off: "They're all my friends!"
"If you're alright, then I'll head back."
After saying that, Lin Xiyin turned to leave.
Then someone inside spoke up: "Lin Zihao, let your sister come in and have a seat. I'll think about the investment!"
Lin Zihao looked over, overjoyed: "Brother Wu, really?"
Wu Jinxing lit a cigarette and leered at Lin Xiyin: "Is she really your sister?"
Lin Zihao could be described as sunny and handsome, but Lin Xiyin's face was the most beautiful he had ever seen among women!
Lin Xiyin was staying at the hospital to keep an eye on someone, so she was dressed simply, wearing a short down jacket.
She wore dark jeans on her lower body.
Ordinary jeans, yet they accentuated her straight and long legs.
Not to mention her face, which was porcelain white and exquisite, especially her pair of dark eyes, which could make any man lose his soul with just one glance.
Her aloof and indifferent demeanor made him even more eager to possess her.
The more a woman is like this, the more he wants to know what kind of wanton she is when she is pinned down by him.
Wu Jinxing pushed the girl beside him aside, walked to the door, and found that Lin Xiyin was still without makeup, and her face looked even more beautiful.
Lin Zihao knew what kind of person Wu Jinxing was. Although his family was rich, his reputation was really not good.
He's had one girlfriend after another, and I heard he even ruined a middle school girl's life; that girl later jumped off a building.
His family paid off the debt, and a life was simply covered up so easily.
Lin Zihao subconsciously moved closer to Lin Xiyin.
Although he wanted to invest, he didn't want Wu Jinxing to have any relationship with his sister.
He hurriedly said, "Brother Wu, this is my sister. Didn't I tell you? She's my sister, and Pei Muye is my brother-in-law."
Lin Zihao thought that if he mentioned Pei Muye's name, Wu Jinxing would probably restrain himself.
But what he didn't know was that Wu Jinxing didn't believe him at all.
Lin Xiyin frowned even more when she heard Pei Muye's name.
She said, "Zihao, come back with me."
Seeing Wu Jinxing's lecherous look, Lin Zihao regretted letting Lin Xiyin come over.
Wu Jinxing, thinking himself stylish, flicked off his cigarette ash and stared straight at Lin Xiyin: "Beautiful lady, since you're here, why don't you sit down and have a few drinks? Meeting is fate, don't you think?"
Lin Xiyin completely ignored him, only looking at Lin Zihao: "Are you leaving or not?"
This person looks shady. Lin Xiyin was furious when she thought about the kind of people Lin Zihao associated with.
Lin Zihao said, "Sis, I'm going to start a business, and I'm trying to get investment! Just you wait, I'll definitely make something of myself in the future!"
Lin Xiyin grabbed his arm: "Let's go!"
"Sister!" Lin Zihao didn't move. "I'm not leaving! If you won't give me money, can't I at least find my own way?"
Lin Xiyin was furious: "You don't have the brains for it, yet you're learning how to do business from others. You'll get scammed without even knowing it!"
Wu Jinxing spoke up: "I don't like hearing you say that. Of all the people in this house, he's the poorest. Who's lying to him?"
He brazenly sized up Lin Xiyin: "If you come with me, I'll invest in Lin Zihao, how about it?"
Before Lin Xiyin could react, Lin Zihao jumped up: "What are you saying! This is my sister! My sister is married!"
Wu Jinxing had slept with other men's wives before, and for him, this was also a kind of excitement.
He glanced at Lin Zihao and smiled, "I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. Since your sister wants you to go back, then go back first, and we'll talk later."
Lin Xiyin gave Wu Jinxing a cold look, then pulled Lin Zihao away.
Someone walked over and asked Wu Jinxing, "What, you've really taken a liking to him?"
Wu Jinxing took a drag of his cigarette: "Damn, that's awesome! Three days, I'm getting her into my bed!"
