Chapter 54 You've completely disgraced me.
Lin Xiyin now knows where the old place is.
She asked, "If we go for a visit, would that count as our third meeting?"
Chi Tianlin said, "You wish."
"I'm not going." Lin Xiyin yawned slightly. "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."
"You pig, all you do is eat and sleep."
"Mind your own business." After confronting him, Lin Xiyin let loose, figuring Chi Tianlin wouldn't do anything to her anyway: "I'm going back."
"Then let's sit a while longer."
Lin Xiyin asked him, "Mr. Chi, your family is so wealthy and powerful, how come you seem so idle?"
Chi Tianlin said, "Of course it's because I don't support idlers. What's the point of giving them so much money while I work myself to the bone?"
Considering how busy Pei Muyi is every day, even the prime minister isn't as busy as him, Lin Xiyin thought that Chi Tianlin's personality seemed pretty good too.
At least they won't die from overwork.
Chi Tianlin said again, "You can't do this."
"What?"
“We don’t want his money,” Chi Tianlin said. “Although I don’t know why you two got divorced, Pei Muyi is no good. We should make sure he suffers a lot after the divorce!”
Just as Lin Xiyin was about to speak, Chi Tianlin said again, "What do you care about face and self-respect? In this world, money is the only thing that matters."
Lin Xiyin knew that Chi Tianlin was telling the whole truth.
In fact, she herself didn't know what she was persisting in.
But she really didn't want Pei Muye's money.
It seems that by doing so, she will always be inferior to others.
She gave a bitter smile. In Pei Muye's eyes, whether she wanted Pei Muye's money or not, she was still inferior to him.
"If you want more, I'll have Huo Xianyang help you with the lawsuit. I'm telling you, you're guaranteed to win! Because Pei Muyi can't afford to lose face like that!"
"No need." Lin Xiyin didn't have much interest in money to begin with, and she felt she could earn it herself.
She can earn 70,000 to 80,000 yuan from a part-time job at the chemical plant.
It was a bit tough, but Lin Xiyin was content as long as she could pay for Lin Yiming's medical expenses and raise her child in the future.
"You," Chi Tianlin sighed, "but since you consider me a friend, I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future."
Lin Xiyin glanced at him and said, "Thank you."
"So, you won't lose out at all by being friends with me," Chi Tianlin said. "Think it over carefully."
Lin Xiyin said, "I'll think about it. Can we go now?"
"It's only a few o'clock." Chi Tianlin glanced at his watch. "Don't you have any nightlife? Shall I take you upstairs to have a look?"
It's said that upstairs there are people singing, playing ball, playing cards, dancing, and all sorts of other things.
Even before she was pregnant, Lin Xiyin didn't like such a smoky and chaotic place.
She said, "No, I want to go back to sleep."
"You're such a pig!" Chi Tianlin looked at her with exasperation. "Isn't there any fun in your life?"
"Yes," Lin Xiyin said, "I like doing experiments, solving problems, and studying data..."
"Stop!" Chi Tianlin exclaimed, his head spinning. "That's so boring."
"No, it's very interesting."
Chi Tianlin waved his hand: "Spare me, I've never been a good student since I was little. If I hadn't been born into this world, I'd probably be working on a construction site right now."
“No, that won’t happen,” Lin Xiyin said. “You still have a face.”
Chi Tianlin touched his face; "Are you indirectly praising my handsomeness?"
Lin Xiyin said, "You can make money if you enter the entertainment industry."
"The entertainment industry..." Chi Tianlin smiled, "You have no idea how dirty it is inside."
Lin Xiyin looked at him.
Looking into her clear eyes, Chi Tianlin smiled again and changed the subject: "Does school start in March? Can I come to the school to see you then?"
Lin Xiyin said, "Let's talk about it after the one-month bet."
"I think we had a very pleasant conversation tonight, so we can be considered friends, right?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at him but didn't say anything; everything was understood without being spoken.
Chi Tianlin was very dissatisfied. He raised an eyebrow and said, "What are your standards for choosing a partner? You don't even like someone like me? Do you want to fly to the moon?"
"If my standard for choosing friends is that they are rich, then Mr. Chi, you are probably my only friend."
"Alright, stop talking. Aren't you implying that I'm good for nothing except being rich?"
"I didn't say that."
"That's what you mean. Don't think I'm stupid and can't understand."
Lin Xiyin suddenly felt like laughing.
Chi Tianlin, his handsome face taut, said, "I didn't expect you researchers to be so sharp-tongued!"
"I'm sorry, but I guess we're not suited to be friends."
"You really go to any lengths to get rid of me."
Lin Xiyin didn't actually mean that; some things just came out in a rush of conversation.
She asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Go away, go away!" Chi Tianlin waved his hand: "Just seeing you annoys me!"
Lin Xiyin got up and walked out. Just as she reached the door, Chi Tianlin also stood up: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. I'll take you home!"
"I drove here."
"Then I'll see you out!"
Lin Xiyin felt that he was like a child, unpredictable and moody.
To be honest, she didn't like people with such unstable emotions, let alone befriend them.
Once this month is over, I should be able to get out of this mess.
Lin Xiyin walked out of the private room and said to the waiter at the door, "Could you please pack up the food inside for me?"
There were six dishes, and the two of them didn't even finish half of them.
Upon hearing this, Chi Tianlin immediately retorted with disdain, "Why bother with takeout? It's all leftovers!"
Lin Xiyin said, "It would be a waste not to pack it up. Besides, we used public tableware, so it didn't get any saliva on it. We can still eat it when we get home."
Chi Tianlin was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and the people he associates with are all either rich or noble.
This is the first time in history that someone who ate with him has packed up the leftovers to take home.
He looked disgusted, and the waiter looked at him with a troubled expression, unsure of whose opinion to follow.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Beat her! Beat her!"
How will he ever come to this club again?
How embarrassing!
He couldn't help but ask Lin Xiyin, "Even when you go out to eat with Pei Muyi, it's so shabby?"
Lin Xiyin frowned: "What do you mean by shabby? There's nothing shameful about taking leftovers home."
"How can you not be ashamed!" Chi Tianlin looked around and, seeing no familiar faces, felt a little better: "You've made me lose all face!"
Lin Xiyin stood there waiting: "Why don't you go first?"
She could tell that Chi Tianlin might really not be able to accept this kind of thing.
But he didn't leave, standing awkwardly to the side.
Fortunately, the staff worked quickly and packed it up, putting it into a pretty tote bag.
Lin Xiyin took it and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Chi Tianlin, watching from the side, said, "You're this happy just because you got a takeout?"
Lin Xiyin said, "It's good that it's not wasteful."
"You still haven't said that you're taking leftovers home after having dinner with Pei Muyi?"
Lin Xiyin shook her head: "No."
Chi Tianlin immediately got angry; "You won't take the leftovers home if you eat with him, but you hit me if I do. Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Lin Xiyin explained, "We almost never eat out alone. When we eat with a group, there's almost never any leftovers, so we don't need to take leftovers home."
Chi Tianlin's focus shifted: "Doesn't Pei Muyi ever take you out to eat?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at him: "This is what a loveless, fake couple looks like."
Chi Tianlin clicked his tongue twice and sighed, "It's a good thing you're getting a divorce. No way, I'll treat you to dinner on the day you get divorced to celebrate. Just so you know, that dinner won't count as one of these four."
If they really get divorced, Lin Xiyin feels she should be quite happy.
After all, they are free.
She said, "Okay."
When Lin Xiyin returned to the Pei family home and didn't see Pei Muye, she breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope he will keep his word and not come back to live with me before we get divorced.
Soon it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Xiyin went home for a visit.
Lin Yiming was still physically weak, but his spirits were not bad.
Lu Xuemei looked somewhat displeased when she saw her return alone.
Lin Zihao was reading some books, and it seemed like he was really trying to get out of poverty.
Lin Xiyin bought some tonics and fruit, but didn't stay long, saying she had other things to do and left first.
She needed to go back to the research institute to get some things, and she also needed to go to Ji Mingtang's place in the afternoon.
I met Jiang Yufan at the research institute. It was her last day at work, and she was going on vacation afterward.
Lin Xiyin chatted with her for a while, then prepared to go to Ji Mingtang's place.
The Pei family will be very busy after the New Year, and the teacher and her husband are also going abroad to visit their son, so she came to wish them a Happy New Year in advance.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Tang Yishen.
Recently, Lin Xiyin has either not replied to the messages Tang Yishen sends her, or her replies are very brief.
She stopped going to the factory, so the two of them had no chance to meet.
Lin Xiyin had originally planned to stay for dinner with her teacher, but she didn't expect Tang Yishen to be there too.
She didn't want to stay with him any longer, but she couldn't resist her teacher and his wife's desperate pleas for her to stay, so she had no choice but to remain.
Fortunately, her teacher's wife made her favorite pork ribs, and Lin Xiyin couldn't resist eating two more bowls of rice.
The teacher's wife was very happy, saying that young people nowadays are always trying to lose weight, which is not healthy at all.
After dinner, Lin Xiyin chatted with them for a while before saying goodbye, and Tang Yishen left with her.
Once downstairs, Tang Yishen asked her, "Ruan Ruan, are you avoiding me?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "No, I've been really busy lately."
Tang Yishen didn't say anything more, only asking, "Have you prepared everything for the start of school? If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Lin Xiyin thanked him, got into the car, and left.
Tang Yishen was left standing in the night for a long time.
Lin Xiyin was surprised to find Pei Muye in the bedroom when she returned home.
She stood at the bedroom door, not intending to go in.
Pei Muye, dressed in his pajamas, said to her, "Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve. I can't find an excuse to go out these next two days. Don't worry, I won't touch you."
Lin Xiyin no longer trusted him; who knew if he would suddenly become a beast in the middle of the night?
She turned to leave.
Pei Muye said, "Do you really want to upset them during the New Year?"
After he finished speaking, he pulled Lin Xiyin's arm and went inside, then closed the door.
He said, "What am I to you? A monster? Someone you avoid like the plague!"
Lin Xiyin said, "Why don't you look at what you've done before?"
"No more."
Lin Xiyin looked at him, her gaze cold: "You have lost all credibility with me."
“Lin Xiyin,” he looked at her, his eyes deep; “the divorce agreement has been written, let’s sign it after the New Year.”
Lin Xiyin was surprised that he suddenly brought this up. Although she was a little taken aback, she quickly nodded and said, "Okay."
"So, behave yourself for the next few days."
However, Lin Xiyin did not expect that the restless person was Ming Qingwan.
