Chapter 165 I Know Everything
Once Pei Muye answered the call, Xiao Ruoyi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
She didn't have the energy to exchange pleasantries with him.
"Ruan Ruan's biological mother, what exactly happened?"
Hearing Xiao Ruoyi ask this question, Pei Muye knew that Lin Xiyin had told her about her background.
He also stated directly, "Her biological mother is Qu Jianhang."
Xiao Ruoyi thought she had misheard: "Who?"
“Qu Jianhang.” Pei Muye’s reaction was the same as hers when he first found out, so he wasn’t surprised. He patiently explained to her, “The one from the Qu family, Aunt Qu Jingyou.”
"My God!" Xiao Ruoyi was genuinely shocked: "How could this be?"
She hadn't heard that Aunt Qu Jingyou had a child.
Besides, that's the Qu family!
That's Qu Jianhang!
Qu Jianhang is actually Lin Xiyin's biological mother!
From then on, Lin Xiyin could walk sideways!
Xiao Ruoyi asked happily, "Has the paternity test been done?"
"You still question what President Qu has done?" Pei Muye said, "He has definitely done it."
Xiao Ruoyi asked as if she were dreaming: "Pei Muyi, is it true that Yan Chengyu chased after Qu Jianhang?"
Pei Muye remained silent.
He could say a few words before, but now that Qu Jianhang is his elder, how can he discuss her relationship problems?
Seeing his silence, Xiao Ruoyi understood what he meant: "Never mind, I won't ask you. I'll ask Aunt Qu herself when we meet!"
Pei Muye: ...
I don't know what to say. Before we even met, Aunt Qu called out to me first.
All he could say was, "Yinyin doesn't know who her biological mother is yet. She's emotionally unstable right now. I'll tell her when she's thought it through."
"Then let's wait for her to calm down," Xiao Ruoyi said. "With a mother this powerful, she'll make Lin Yiming and his wife regret it later!"
Pei Muye didn't care about that.
It was his negligence that caused Lin Xiyin to suffer.
Now he will get involved in everything she does and will not let anyone bully her anymore.
Who Qu Jianhang is, whether he's mediocre or capable, is irrelevant.
As long as she gives Lin Xiyin enough love, that's enough.
When Huo Xianyang brought Lin Xiyin back, he saw Xiao Ruoyi smiling.
She vomits at unpredictable times each day, sometimes only a few minutes apart.
This resulted in her lying there with a pained expression at all times.
I feel uncomfortable all over.
Huo Xianyang hasn't seen her smile since he came back this time.
"Why are you so happy?" Seeing her smile, he felt relieved. "Are you feeling better now?"
Xiao Ruoyi was in a good mood and felt physically relaxed: "Yes, I feel comfortable all over."
Huo Xianyang wondered if Xiao Ruoyi would stop vomiting soon.
Judging from her mental state, she'll probably get better in the future.
As she was thinking this, Xiao Ruoyi leaned over the bed and began to dry heave.
Huo Xianyang's heart jumped into his throat.
You're overthinking it.
However, Xiao Ruoyi was still in a good mood after vomiting.
Even though I'm not feeling well, I'm in good spirits.
The doctor on night shift came to check on her and, seeing her smiling, said, "Yes, that's the right mindset. Maybe you'll be better tomorrow!"
Many doctors with years of experience have never encountered a case like Xiao Ruoyi's.
Normal morning sickness involves vomiting after eating or feeling nauseous in the morning, but Xiao Ruoyi didn't eat or drink anything and vomited severely.
This is called hyperemesis gravidarum.
It's a problem with hormones in the body.
Because of pregnancy, hormonal imbalances occur, and it's unknown when the body will be able to adjust.
However, a pregnant woman's positive mindset will naturally affect the body's regulation.
Therefore, doctors encourage pregnant women to be happier and have more hope for tomorrow.
When you're vomiting to that extent, who can be happy?
So it's quite rare to see Xiao Ruoyi smiling happily.
After the doctor left, Huo Xianyang asked her, "You're so happy to see Lin Xiyin?"
Xiao Ruoyi beckoned with her finger: "Come here, I'll make you happy too."
There were only the two of them in the room, but she insisted that Huo Xianyang come closer so she could whisper something to him.
Compared to Xiao Ruoyi's happiness, Lin Xiyin's mood remained low.
Pei Muye had previously said he would take her back to the Lin family, but she didn't want to go.
When asked when she would meet her biological mother, she said she wasn't ready.
Right now, she's like an ostrich, trying to escape all of this.
But to her surprise, Lu Xuemei came to find her on her own initiative.
And they even managed to find the school.
Wu Xinyue had just gone out to fetch water. When she came back a little while later, she called out to Lin Xiyin, "Sister, your mother is here and waiting outside."
Lin Xiyin was taken aback.
who?
Is it Lu Xuemei, or her biological mother?
Lin Xiyin hesitated for a moment.
She was too afraid to see either of these two people.
"elder sister?"
Lin Xiyin had no choice but to get up: "Thank you, I'll go take a look."
When she went outside, she saw Lu Xuemei.
Lin Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was her.
Compared to Lu Xuemei, the biological mother she hadn't even met yet made her even more unsure how to face her.
I don't know what Lu Xuemei came here for.
"Ruan Ruan." Lu Xuemei saw her and said with a smile, "Have you been very busy lately?"
Seeing her smile, Lin Xiyin was momentarily dazed.
If she didn't know the truth, she might still be struggling and conflicted.
On the one hand, she cherished the occasional warmth that Lu Xuemei gave her.
On the one hand, she was jealous of the care and favoritism that Lin Zihao received.
Knowing the truth, she also learned to let go of it.
But this will take time.
Before she could even adjust, Lu Xuemei arrived.
Seeing that Lin Xiyin remained silent, Lu Xuemei sighed, "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for money this time. Pei Muye said such awful things on the phone, how could I possibly ask you for money?"
Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "Pei Muye called you? When?"
"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Lu Xuemei said. "What are you saying? You're my daughter, can't I even contact you?"
Lin Xiyin did not speak.
It turned out that Pei Muye had already taken care of these things for her without her knowing.
"What brings you here?" Lin Xiyin asked.
Lu Xuemei said, "Ruanruan, Mom really has no other choice. I won't ask you for money, can I borrow it from you instead? I'll write you an IOU and pay you back in installments every month."
Lin Xiyin asked, "I give Dad money for his medical treatment every month. What do you need the money for?"
“It’s your brother,” Lu Xuemei said. “He got a girlfriend, and she’s pregnant. We were thinking of getting them married soon. But Zihao doesn’t have a house anymore…”
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "If he doesn't have a house, who can he blame?"
Lu Xuemei said, "That was before. He's reformed now. Ruanruan, I'm not trying to be mean, but we're all family. What's the difference between Zihao and your own brother? You're doing so well yourself, how can you bear to see your brother without a house, unable to even get married?"
“If he’s not doing well, it’s his own fault,” Lin Xiyin said. “I’ve been helping him time and time again, when will it ever end?”
He's your brother!
"Is he my brother? If he is your and Dad's son, then I'll accept it."
“Ruanruan, don’t be like this,” Lu Xuemei said, “You’re a girl, and you can’t carry on the family line…”
Lin Xiyin chuckled: "Then why didn't you have a son back then... no, why didn't you adopt a son back then?"
Lu Xuemei's heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xiyin just stared at her.
Lu Xuemei was immediately at a loss and extremely flustered.
She was speaking incoherently: "I don't even know what you're talking about. I have something to do, um, I have to go now..."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Lin Xiyin said, "Mom, I know everything."
Calling her "Mom" isn't because there's still affection, but because she's used to calling her that.
Lu Xuemei paused in her steps.
She turned around in disbelief: "You, what do you know?"
"You know I'm not your biological daughter."
"You, who are you listening to?!" Lu Xuemei panicked immediately: "You are my daughter, born to me and your father!"
"If I were your daughter, would you still unconditionally favor Lin Zihao? If I were your daughter, would you not consider me or make any plans for me at all?"
Lu Xuemei hurriedly explained, "Your father and I supported your education, and you later married well. How could we not plan for your future? It's just that you insisted on getting a divorce, and your father got angry, that's why..."
"They sold our house without even telling me, and I don't even know the way home." Lin Xiyin's eyes welled up with tears. "Did you think about how I felt when you moved?"
What she cared about was never the lack of money.
If the house is given to Lin Zihao, she might feel uncomfortable at most.
But Lin Yiming and Lu Xuemei did things that showed they didn't care about her at all.
What she cares about is love.
Before the divorce, there may still be a facade of peace.
She insisted on a divorce, so Lin Yiming tore off that fig leaf.
What they wanted was not just a daughter, but a daughter they could boast about and who would bring them honor.
But she got divorced.
Moreover, he does not have the blood of the Lin family.
Naturally, they stopped caring about her.
Since learning about her background, Lin Xiyin has gradually come to terms with it.
I talked to Lu Xuemei so much today, and it felt like I finally let out all the things I'd been keeping inside.
She felt much better after talking it out.
Knowing that she wasn't their biological daughter, she found it easier to accept their treatment and indifference.
After all, what she had been struggling with and suffering from was that, as their daughter, she was not even as good as their nephew.
Now that he knows he's not related to them by blood, he naturally can't compare to their blood-related nephews.
She felt relieved.
Lu Xuemei was speechless: "You're overthinking it... You know, your dad makes all the decisions in our family. If he wants to sell the house, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, don't overthink it. I've never hit you or mistreated you since you were little, so don't say those things."
Lin Xiyin said, "My biological mother came to find me."
One sentence sent a jolt through Lu Xuemei.
Lin Xiyin looked at her and said, "I will repay your kindness in raising me. I will pay you the alimony as it is. But I will no longer concern myself with Lin Zihao's affairs. Mom... no, I probably won't call you Mom anymore. Thank you for raising me all these years. In a couple of days, I will go to your house and thank... Uncle Lin again."
