Shen Lin kissed her forehead, "Well, I'm going to take a call."
Ye Xinning hummed.
Shen Lin stood up to answer the phone, while Ye Xinning continued to deal with his work.
Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Lin looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone, hesitated for a while and finally connected.
"Hello."
When the call was connected, he spoke in a low voice.
But time passed by, and no one spoke on the phone.
Shen Lin looked at the phone again, hung up the phone without saying anything.
Seeing Shen Lin hang up the phone so quickly, Ye Xinning asked, "Whose phone number is it?"
"I don't know, no one said anything, maybe it was a typo."
Shen Lin sat back down where he was before. Ye Xinning didn't think much after hearing this and continued to deal with the work at hand.
…
In the next few days, Ye Xinning was still driven to work at the law firm by Aunt Wen every day. Shen Lin had been busy at work in the past few days, and the two of them basically only saw each other at night.
That day, while Ye Xinning was working in the office, he received that text message again.
It's still the same phone number, but this time the content is much less than before, only one sentence.
——Your happy life is over.
Ye Xinning looked at this sentence in the text message and held the phone in a daze.
Xiao Chen was sitting opposite her and talking about a case. When he saw her holding her cell phone without saying a word, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something to deal with?"
Ye Xinning came back to his senses and said calmly, "It's okay. Where did you just talk? Continue."
Xiao Chen saw her absent-mindedness, "Forget it, just deal with the matter at hand first. If I tell you now, you won't listen."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and stood up with Xiao Chen, "I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be embarrassed about, I'm leaving first."
After Xiao Chen left, Ye Xinning held her cell phone, her thoughts a little confused.
Looking at the phone number on her phone, she felt that for the first time she was so out of control.
She called the other party, but like every time before, the phone was turned off.
Ye Xinning was so angry that she clutched her phone tightly.
At the same time, the office of the president of Shen Group.
Shen Lin received a call from the unfamiliar phone number that day.
He didn't say anything after answering the phone, waiting for the person on the other end to speak first.
This time, the person on the other side of the phone did not remain silent like last time. A female voice came from the phone, and the emotion in Shen Lin's eyes changed.
"Brother Shen Lin, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I wonder if you still remember me."
Shen Lin held the phone tightly. He knew very well who the voice on the other end was.
Jiang An, who has been unable to be contacted.
Shen Lin didn't make a sound for a long time, and Jiang An's laughter rang out again on the phone, "Why, brother Shen Lin can't remember? I am Jiang An, and brother Shen Lin personally drove me out of Nancheng. He wouldn't You can’t remember it so soon.”
Shen Lin's eyes turned cold, and his voice seemed to contain infinite coldness.
"You try so hard to hide your itinerary, but you call me at this time and tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Brother Shen Lin is still so smart and witty. I don't want to do anything. It's just that I haven't seen brother Shen Lin for a long time and I miss him a little. Brother Shen Lin, please come to Beicheng."
Beicheng?
So after Jiang An left Nancheng, he did not go abroad, but stayed in Beicheng.
Shen Lin's eyes were cold, "I told you that you and I will never meet again in this life. Who gave you the courage to show up again?"
"Who gave me the courage? Haha, of course it's because I deeply love Brother Shen Lin and can't live without Brother Shen Lin, so I can't help but contact Brother Shen Lin. Besides, I've prepared something for Brother Shen Lin. It’s a big surprise, are you sure Brother Shen Lin won’t come to Beicheng to accept this surprise from me personally?”
"I said I won't see you again, so I won't see you again, Jiang An, put away those dirty thoughts of yours."
After Shen Lin said this, he was ready to hang up the phone.
Jiang An's voice rang again, "Brother Shen Lin, don't you want to see me? That's fine, I'll call your Mrs. Shen now. Anyway, I have been sending her text messages during this time, and she has also I called back, but I don’t know what I would have said if I had called Mrs. Shen back.”
Jiang An's words made Shen Lin's eyes darken instantly, and his face was filled with coldness. He sneered, "I didn't know that you were doing so many things secretly."
"Brother Shen Lin is not paying attention to me, so naturally he won't know these things, but it doesn't matter. I can tell you everything Brother Shen Lin wants to know, so Brother Shen Lin is willing to come to Beicheng to see me. One side?"
Shen Lin held the phone. Jiang An originally thought that she was facing a violent storm, but the man smiled and said, "Jiang An, you'd better have a huge bargaining chip in your hand, otherwise, I will definitely let you know something." Call it the price."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lin called Wen Zhu in, "Mr. Shen, do you have anything to arrange?"
Shen Lin rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Arrange a ticket to Beicheng tonight."
Wen Zhu was surprised, "According to the schedule, there is no business trip to Beicheng recently."
"Jiang An has appeared." Shen Lin's eyes fell into the distance and a cold voice sounded.
Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll book a flight ticket right now." Wen Zhu took a few steps outside and then turned back.
"If my wife asks about work in Beicheng, how should I reply?"
"Let's just say it's a temporary arrangement."
"Okay, Mr. Shen."
After Wenzhu booked the flight ticket, he drove to Ming Mansion to pick up Shen Lin's suitcase.
I happened to bump into Ye Xinning who was returning from the law firm, "Mrs."
Seeing Wen Zhu come back alone, Ye Xinning asked, "What's wrong? Shen Lin didn't come back, so you came here alone?"
"Madam, there is something wrong with the work in Beicheng. Mr. Shen and I will go to Beicheng immediately. I will come back to help Mr. Shen pick up his luggage."
"Something went wrong at work?"
"Yeah." Wen Zhu had experienced big scenes after all, so he was able to deal with Ye Xinning's questions calmly.
"Then I'll have someone go up and clean it up. Assistant Wen Te will wait a moment."
"Yes, please, madam."
Ye Xinning had just finished talking to Wenzhu when he received a call from Shen Lin.
Shen Lin told her a lot of things on the phone, undoubtedly asking her to take care of herself, not to be too tired, and to wait for him to come back.
Ye Xinning agreed one by one, and the two chatted about something else. It wasn't until the servant packed Shen Lin's luggage and came down that Ye Xinning hung up the phone.
Wen Zhu took her luggage and left. Ye Xinning stood at the door and watched her leave. Thinking of Shen Lin's business trip for who knows how many days, he felt inexplicably depressed.
