Chapter 177 She is trying to distance herself from you
Ye Xinning originally said it casually, but Shen Lin really explained her preferences in general in the next second.
Ye Xinning looked at him in surprise.
When did he know this and how could he say so much in one breath?
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin blankly, forgetting his reaction for a moment.
The people next to him didn't speak for a long time. At the traffic light intersection, Shen Lin stopped the car and turned his head to look at Ye Xinning while waiting, "What are you thinking about?"
"When did you learn about this?"
"In the days when you were away, I asked Wen Zhu to go collect it, and then I went home and asked Aunt Xi and Mom."
The two looked at each other, and Shen Lin didn't know what to say for a moment, especially when Shen Lin said these words with pride.
What should she say? Could it be that she was not very happy when he told Shen Lin that he told so many things about her in one breath? That feeling would only make her feel that she was being unreasonable.
What should she say? Could it be that when she told Shen Lin that he brought her to meet the family members he cared about, she felt more anxious and uneasy.
She couldn't guess what he was thinking now, or in other words, his sudden concern would only make him feel more uncomfortable in this relationship.
She had no way of saying these words to Shen Lin, because she knew very well that even if she told Shen Lin, Shen Lin wouldn't understand.
Ye Xinning lowered her head, and the feeling of powerlessness almost swept over her whole body.
She didn't say a word for a long time. It was probably her silence that made Shen Lin realize something was wrong, so Shen Lin didn't speak again when he started the car again.
The car drove for a long time, and Ye Xinning had no other thoughts. It was precisely because of this that she did not notice that the car was driving towards the Shen family.
It wasn't until Shen Lin parked the car firmly in front of Shen's house that Ye Xinning raised his head and saw the familiar scenery, then noticed that Shen Lin had driven the car back.
"Why are you back?"
She asked Shen Lin in a low voice. Shen Lin got out of the car and opened the door for her. His every move seemed so considerate, "I didn't eat with Dad and Aunt Xi last night. I should come over today anyway, and Aunt Xi Just call me in the morning and ask me to take you back for dinner."
When Shen Lin said this, Ye Xinning nodded and walked inside with him.
Just as she walked to the door, she heard Aunt Xi's voice arranging the servants to prepare, "Wait a minute, don't let anything in the living room that makes the young lady unhappy, and no one can mention Jiang An, over there in the kitchen I’ve told you to cook more of the young lady’s favorite dishes. I’ve been following Shen Lin for a while, but I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost.”
Listening to the voices coming from inside, Ye Xinning's mood became very complicated.
Aunt Xi was very kind to her, she had always known this.
Shen Lin took her in, "Dad, Aunt Xi."
Shen Yu sat on the sofa and watched Xi Yuan go about his business. When he saw them coming back, he sighed, "What I know is that you have gone out to live. What I don't know is that I thought you haven't come back in a few years. Seeing that Aunt Xi is busy." Be like that."
Xi Yuan came over and gave Shen Yu a roll of her eyes, "As for me, I don't know who kept talking about the fact that his two sons and daughter-in-law didn't come back during dinner last night."
After Xi Yuan finished speaking, he came over and held Ye Xinning's hand, "Ning Ning, how was your New Year's Eve dinner last night? Did you enjoy it?"
Ye Xinning thought about last night, Shen Nanxing, Shen Ting, Chi Zhao, and Shen Lin. To a certain extent, the Spring Festival atmosphere last night was something she had never experienced before. Overall, she was very happy.
Of course, that's except that Shen Lin didn't go to the hospital to find Jiang An later.
"I'm very happy, but it's still unnecessary. I should be with you and my father during such a festival."
"You juniors have the same mistakes as your juniors, how can we drag you down? On weekdays, you and Shen Lin come to visit us and it's already fine."
Xi Yuan was talking to herself, thinking that Ye Xinning was talking about returning to Shen's house with Shen Lin, but she didn't notice that when Ye Xinning expressed this, she didn't mention herself a word.
Just because Xi Yuan didn't notice this, it doesn't mean that Shen Yu didn't notice it.
He looked at Shen Lin standing aside and said, "Shen Lin."
"Um."
Shen Yu stood up from his seat and said, "Come to the study with me. I have something to tell you."
Shen Lin hummed, and the father and son walked upstairs. Xi Yuan was worried that they had been chatting for too long and had forgotten the time to eat. She also reminded her, "Stop talking for a while, and hurry up and come down to eat."
"I know." Shen Yu responded.
In the study room upstairs, Shen Lin and Shen Yu stood opposite each other. Shen Lin put one hand in his pocket and said in a nonchalant tone, "Dad, what can I do?"
"Did you go to the hospital last night?"
"Grandma made such a fuss, I had to go."
"You know exactly why she is making trouble. Even if you don't go, it won't be a big deal."
It has to be said that Shen Yu knows the old lady. When he was about to marry Xi Yuan, the old lady used this trick.
"Dad is really smart. No matter when, dad seems to be unable to take into account feelings."
Shen Lin spoke, his tone still low, but the sarcasm could be clearly heard.
Shen Yu was angry and yelled angrily, "Shen Lin, I'm talking to you properly."
"Didn't I talk to dad properly?"
"You are speaking politely, but you are being yin and yang in a weird way."
"Did I make a mistake? When my mother was sick, my father could still go about his business and ignore her suffering in the hospital. Isn't this rational?"
"Shut up."
Shen Yu was furious. Shen Yu was several degrees louder than usual.
Shen Lin pursed his thin lips tightly. Although he didn't speak, the grudge he had had was not easy to get rid of.
Shen Yu gradually calmed down and realized that his tone just now was a bit too harsh.
"I have explained to you many times that I was not working all the time at that time. I also wanted to put down my work and be with your mother, but your mother refused to let me go to the hospital. She even lied to me that she was fine and asked me to Go and get busy with work. If I had known how seriously ill she was at that time, I would not have let her stay alone in the hospital."
Shen Lin heard Shen Yu say the same thing many times, but never did Shen Lin believe it.
"After the matter is over, naturally whatever excuse you find will be used."
As long as Shen Lin thinks about his mother's illness and death, he can't remain calm. Deep in his heart, he has resentment towards Shen Yu.
"Okay, I won't talk to you about your mother. Let's talk about you and Ning Ning. How did you do it? Why did you live out for so long and she still hasn't calmed down? Did you do anything to feel sorry for her? Something happened?"
"What can I do," Shen Lin replied, his tone extremely calm.
"If my prediction is correct, she is breaking off the relationship with you now."
