Chapter 81 The person he wanted to marry was never you.
Lu Zuofan had said he wanted to come, but Pei Muye wouldn't allow it.
He ran into Ming Qingwan by chance, and only after hearing that Pei Muyi had a fever did he come over.
“You really are sick.” Lu Zuofan sat on the edge of the bed and took a banana out of the fruit basket. “I thought you were faking it.”
Pei Muye didn't want to talk to him, and only asked, "You've come to see me. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
"You're kicking me out as soon as I arrive," Lu Zuofan said. "How was it? Did Lin Xiyin take good care of you?"
"fine."
Seeing Pei Muyi's lack of interest, Lu Zuofan said, "She hasn't agreed to the divorce yet?"
Pei Muye had never mentioned the divorce to Lu Zuofan. It was only after Lu Zuofan overheard Pei Muye making a phone call that he assumed Pei Muye wanted to divorce Lin Xiyin.
In his view, Pei Muyi was such a good catch that Lin Xiyin was always the one who was out of her league.
Pei Muye glanced at him indifferently.
Most of the time, Lu Zuofan could understand what his brother, with whom he had grown up, was thinking.
When it comes to matters of the heart, he simply doesn't understand what Pei Muye is insisting on.
I don't understand why he listened to the old man and married Lin Xiyin back then.
At that time, he already had the right to have the final say.
I don't understand why he let Qu Lianyi go abroad.
If it's a woman he likes, he won't watch her leave.
Even if Qu Lianyi is gone, there is still Ming Qingwan.
Any one of them is more suitable to be the young mistress of the Pei family than Lin Xiyin.
In the end, Pei Muye married Lin Xiyin, a woman from a completely different social class.
In recent years, Lin Xiyin has also been unable to integrate into their circle.
Or rather, Pei Muye never intended for her to enter this circle.
That's why Lu Zuofan felt that Lin Xiyin was not important.
If Pei Muye marries Ming Qingwan, they will be from the same social circle, and their interactions will be very natural.
Unlike Lin Xiyin, who comes from a humble background and is arrogant, always treating Lu Zuofan with indifference.
However, after thinking about the video he had seen, Lu Zuofan had to admit that Lin Xiyin was indeed capable.
Otherwise, with so many top students at Ocean University, she wouldn't stand out.
Pei Muye spoke up: "It's not that she disagrees, it's that I don't want a divorce."
Lu Zuofan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about?"
“I’m not kidding.” Pei Muyi suddenly felt very tired: “You don’t understand. You should go, I’m going to rest.”
Lu Zuofan got impatient: "You're saying I don't understand again! How can I not understand?"
"I never intended to marry Qu Lianyi or Ming Qingwan," Pei Muye said with difficulty. "Because..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zuofan asked, "Really? You have someone else in your heart?"
Lu Zuofan never knew who he truly cared about.
Pei Muyi has never been one to share his innermost thoughts with others.
In recent years, he has never confided his feelings to anyone, and he is too lazy to explain the things that Lu Zuofan thought he knew.
Because to explain it, one must reveal their own identity.
He doesn't like doing this kind of thing.
So let Lu Zuofan continue to misunderstand, that the people he wanted to marry back then were those who were his equals in terms of social status.
As for why he didn't object to the old man's opinion, it was because... this matter suited his wishes.
Unfortunately, Lu Zuofan still doesn't understand this principle.
That's why he said he didn't understand.
The question Lu Zuofan asked further illustrates that he truly did not understand Pei Muye.
He was a playboy, falling in love with every woman he met.
Perhaps in his view, Pei Muye did not have indiscriminate relationships with those women.
But people of their status and position can do whatever they want.
But in reality, Pei Muye had never even considered such a thing.
Lu Zuofan leaned closer: "Tell me, who are you really thinking about? We've been together for so many years, and you're even keeping it from me?"
Pei Muye changed the subject: "When is Lianyi coming back?"
"Soon," Lu Zuofan said. "Something came up a few days ago and it'll probably be next month."
Pei Muye hummed in agreement.
Lu Zuofan added, "By then, your divorce might be settled smoothly. I've heard that Lianyi is still single."
Lu Zuofan looked at his expression, trying to figure something out.
But he failed.
Pei Muye's handsome face remained expressionless.
Lu Zuofan suddenly lost interest.
Actually, he didn't care who Pei Muye was with.
It's just that being well-matched in terms of social status and background makes a better match.
Someone like Lin Xiyin is neither a good match in terms of social standing nor someone he truly loves. Therefore, Pei Muye's relationship with her must be forced.
He couldn't bear to see his brother so miserable.
So when he came out of the ward and saw Lin Xiyin standing outside, he said, "Some people had better recognize their own identity and status, and not covet what does not belong to them."
Lin Xiyin looked at him and listened to his nonsensical words, just like Pei Muyi in the ward, her face expressionless.
When has Lu Zuofan ever been ignored like this?
Pei Muye was his brother of many years, so what was Lin Xiyin?
He said directly, "You'd better be sensible and give up your position as Mrs. Pei as soon as possible. The person Mu Ye wants to marry has never been you."
Lin Xiyin looked at him.
This person was Pei Muye's best friend. It was said that the two had grown up together since childhood and were as close as brothers.
Lu Zuofan's attitude is most likely the same as Pei Muye's opinion.
However, the position of Mrs. Pei was never what she wanted.
At first, she just wanted to marry the person she loved.
No matter who Pei Muye is, Lin Xiyin is satisfied as long as she marries him.
She doesn't aspire to be a wealthy wife, nor does she crave a life of luxury.
However, now that things have come to this, she has no way to explain why she married Pei Muye in the first place.
Everyone assumed that she had gotten hold of the old man's weakness, which was why he had no choice but to let her into the Pei family.
Now, the old man is no longer here.
If Lin Xiyin were to offer an explanation, it would inevitably involve the feelings of the deceased.
She couldn't do something like that.
Let it be a misunderstanding; anyway, she's leaving.
Let's get everything back on track.
She didn't want to fit into Pei Muye's circle, so now everyone is back to where they are.
However, she didn't like Lu Zuofan.
It's a genuine dislike from the bottom of my heart.
Regardless of whether he was Pei Muye's good brother or not, she didn't like him.
Seeing that Lin Xiyin remained silent, Lu Zuofan felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration, as if he had punched cotton.
He had seen too many women—glamorous, youthful, stunning, alluring—and to be honest, Lin Xiyin's features weren't the most beautiful.
But when her features come together, they create a kind of beauty that makes people's hearts flutter.
Even though Lu Zuofan had seen countless people, he had to admit that Lin Xiyin was quite good-looking.
But just by looking at her as a person, you can tell how boring she is.
And she's a science major.
However, speaking of which, Lin Xiyin in that video did look dazzling.
It's easy to be attracted to it.
Lu Zuofan looked at her and said, "I really feel sorry for my brother. I don't know how he can live with a woman like you."
Lin Xiyin then spoke up: "Don't worry, he'll be free soon."
Lu Zuofan thought that Lin Xiyin would be angry, furious, and hysterical.
Or, she might plead desperately.
After all, he was Pei Muye's good brother, so if she asked him to say a few good words for her, he would have some influence.
He never expected Lin Xiyin to be so calm and composed.
It's as if they don't care about the divorce at all.
Lu Zuofan's impression of her worsened: "At least you have some self-awareness!"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and left.
Actually, when Lin Xiyin first saw Lu Zuofan, she would subconsciously think of Chi Tianlin.
But now, she feels that the two are very different.
Although Chi Tianlin can be annoying at times, at least he doesn't toy with women's feelings.
According to Xiao Ruoyi, Chi Tianlin has never had a girlfriend.
At the time, Lin Xiyin even joked with Xiao Ruoyi, saying that he probably didn't like men.
Xiao Ruoyi couldn't stop laughing.
In short, it seems that Lin Xiyin's impression of Chi Tianlin has improved now.
Pei Muye did not have a fever again after that.
He was supposed to stay in the hospital for two days for observation after his rib fracture, and he could be discharged if there were no other problems.
But because he suddenly developed a fever, his hospital stay was extended, and the hospital performed all the necessary tests on him.
It was later confirmed that he was healthy, and the cause of the fever was likely due to catching a cold.
Fortunately, there were no other reactions.
So Pei Muye was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day.
The day he was discharged from the hospital, the Pei family all came, including Ming Qingwan.
Lin Xiyin packed her things, picked up her bag, and went back to the Lin family home.
Before she got home, Lin Yiming was still complaining to Lu Xuemei.
"She's not on our side after all," Lin Yiming said. "Even if Zihao isn't her biological brother, we are her biological parents. Look at her attitude!"
Lu Xuemei thought for a moment and said, "Is it because we've been too nice to Zihao that she's unhappy?"
"It's only right that we treat Zihao well!"
Lin Zihao spoke up from the side: "Uncle and Aunt, do you think it's because you've been too obviously nice to me that she's become suspicious?"
Lu Xuemei was startled: "No way?"
Lin Yiming was also startled: "This, this..."
Lin Zihao thought for a moment and said, "I think my sister is still soft-hearted towards you guys. She's probably just angry that you're too nice to me."
"What should we do then?" Lu Xuemei panicked. "What if she really suspects..."
"I was just guessing," Lin Zihao said. "Uncle and Aunt, how about this..."
He shared his idea, and Lin Yiming and Lu Xuemei exchanged a glance and asked him, "Will this work?"
"Give it a try."
When Lin Xiyin arrived, she froze as soon as she entered the door.
Because wherever his eyes fell, Lin Zihao was kneeling there, his face full of repentance.
