"It's nothing, it's fine. Just follow your own arrangements. If you need me to do anything, just tell me."
"good."
…
In the evening, Shen Lin stood on the balcony of the hotel for a long time, but the longer he stood, the less sleepy he felt. All he could think about was Ye Xinning, whether she was eating well, sleeping well, and whether she felt better recently. Did the child in her belly bother her?
Such thoughts made him unable to stay calm. There was one thought in his mind, that is, he wanted to see Ye Xinning immediately.
In fact, Shen Lin did exactly that.
He drove to the Song family manor alone. When he arrived, the lights in the Song family living room were still on. After he stopped the car, he did not get out of the car immediately, but sat in the car and looked inside.
The servants of the Song family were already very familiar with him. When they saw him coming, they hesitated and walked into the living room of the Song family.
After a while, someone walked out of the living room, and it was Ye Xinning who he had been thinking about all day and night.
Ye Xinning came all the way to the door. The servant opened the door for her and she nodded.
She has not had a good appetite this day. With her hair hanging down and her slow steps, she feels like a porcelain doll that will break if touched.
Shen Lin hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. Seeing that Ye Xinning was only wearing a thin off-white sweater, his face was tense, he took off his coat and put it directly on Ye Xinning's body.
"It's cold outside, why do you go out wearing so little?"
Ye Xinning was stunned by Shen Lin's sudden action. She didn't expect that he would notice this in such detail. After all, in her understanding, Shen Lin had never been such a detail-oriented person. She thought that after he came out, he should It is to express his demands first.
Although he was surprised that Shen Lin would do this, it was only a short time before Ye Xinning recovered his thoughts and spoke in a calm tone without much fluctuation.
"How did you come?"
"I want to see you." Shen Lin said without even thinking about it.
Ye Xinning was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes away, "What did you say to me after you saw me?"
"I..." Shen Lin frowned. At that moment, this man who was so decisive in the shopping mall couldn't find anything to say for the first time.
Before he came, he just wanted to see her and see if she was okay.
Even before coming, he thought she was unwilling to come out to meet him, so the moment he saw her come out, he was pleasantly surprised by her appearance, but felt guilty at the same time.
It was so late and I asked her to come out to get some air.
"Ning Ning, I miss you very much. I miss you every second I don't see you." He organized some words again and spoke, still expressing his missing in the most straightforward way.
Ye Xinning did not speak. She lowered her head. Under the street lamp, the shadows of her and Shen Lin were very clear. She stared at that place, and when she spoke, it was rare that there was no sarcasm.
"I know about your aunt."
"Yeah." Shen Lin stared at Ye Xinning, wondering whether he knew what she said. Did he know that his aunt had gone in, or did he know that his aunt had nothing to do with the car accident.
"My father didn't tell me, but I asked Aunt Wen to investigate. My father's car accident was caused by Qin Xiang. I know it."
"When did you know that?"
"It doesn't matter when I knew it, but Shen Lin, I met you to tell you that even if this matter has nothing to do with your aunt, your aunt is not innocent about Uncle Gu's matter and Ji Jianshen's matter. .”
When Shen Lin heard her talking about Ji Jianshen, his expression changed.
"So what you are telling me now is all because of Ji Jianshen, because you care about him, so you feel sorry for him so much?"
"This is not because of what happened to Ji Jianshen, Shen Lin. If it were any other person, I would feel like this now. You don't know how much Ji Jianshen has gone through, and you don't know either. In order to survive, in order to return to France How much effort Ji Jianshen put in to get back what belongs to him."
How could Shen Lin not know?
After knowing that Ji Jianshen was the lost Gu Hanyu, he asked Wen Zhu and Tang Song to thoroughly investigate Ji Jianshen's affairs. He could not find out what happened when he was a child, but what happened after Ji Jianshen appeared in Beicheng He found it all.
He knew that Ji Jianshen was carving his own path in Beicheng alone. He knew that Ji Jianshen's long-term illness and poor health must be related to what happened to him when he was a child.
He also knew that all of this had something to do with his aunt.
The aunt's selfishness harmed Ji Jianshen and Gu Qingyuan.
"Ji Jianshen and I are one-quarter blood related, so how could I completely ignore his pain. But Ningning, there are many ways to compensate Ji Jianshen."
"How you compensate Ji Jianshen is your business. I am just a bystander, but Shen Lin, your aunt, is an unforgivable crime, both for her own relatives and for our family. My father We are collecting evidence, Ji Jianshen is also collecting evidence, and we will definitely make your aunt pay the due price."
Shen Lin knew that his aunt's crime was unforgivable, and no matter how much he said now, it would just be an excuse without any meaning.
"I know that no matter what you do, it is what you should do."
Seeing Shen Lin say this, Ye Xinning's face became a little better.
"Putting aside my aunt's matter, is it still possible between us?"
Ye Xinning didn't want Shen Lin to say this. She was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Shen Lin, I can't deal with that child. This matter will always be between you and me. I don't want my life with you to be constant in the future because I don’t want the child to quarrel, and I don’t want our relationship to be exhausted in such quarrels. Instead of waiting until that day, it is most appropriate for us to separate now."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Shen Lin looked at her leaving figure, but couldn't help but stepped forward and held her hand.
"Would you please listen to the last few sentences?"
"Concerning the child's matter, I will come up with a proper solution. Give me some time, okay? Don't pronounce the death sentence at once. At least wait, let me have a chance to redeem myself, okay?"
Ye Xinning didn't want to give up on Shen Lin. Regarding her affairs with him and the child, although he was set up by Mu Mingwei, the fact was that the child was indeed his.
There is indeed a rift between them, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.
Ye Xinning turned back and met Shen Lin's eyes. After a few seconds, she lowered her head and pulled Shen Lin's hand away, "You and I can't be like before anymore, so let's let Shen Lin go." Each other."
Shen Lin shook his head, "Except for you, I have never thought about anyone else. How do you want me to let go?"
Just as Ye Xinning was about to speak, the phone Shen Lin put in his pocket rang.
Ye Xinning motioned to Shen Lin to answer the phone first.
Shen Lin took out his cell phone and answered the call. The voice on the other end made him instantly let go of Ye Xinning's hand and froze in place.
"Mr. Shen, there was a riot in the prison. Something happened to your aunt Mu Mingwei. She is on her way to the hospital now."
The voice on the phone fell, and Shen Lin reacted quickly, asked for the hospital's address and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lin held Ye Xinning's hand again and said, "I have something to do and I have to leave first. You go back and have a good rest. Ningning, think carefully about what I said. At least, give me some time." "
Ye Xinning said nothing.
Shen Lin would have to leave soon, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being.
…
In the hospital, when Shen Lin arrived, Gu Shilin had already arrived.
"Second brother."
"How about it?"
"He was shot in the heart, and we are currently rescuing him." When he said this, Gu Shilin's voice was trembling.
Shen Lin also clenched his hands and tightened his jaw.
heart position...
The two of them waited anxiously at the door. As time passed by, the door of the operating room finally opened.
Gu Shilin hurriedly greeted her, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, we tried our best, but the patient was shot too close to the heart. Even though we raced against time, we still couldn't save him." The doctor took off his mask and said apologetically.
Gu Shilin opened his eyes and looked at the doctor in disbelief. It took him a long time to find his voice, "What did you say? What do you mean by not rescuing me?"
The doctor looked at Gu Shilin apologetically and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, please forgive me."
The doctor left after saying this.
Gu Shilin stood there, his body stiff.
Shen Lin stood beside him and took a long time to digest this matter.
"Second brother, I don't have a mother anymore." Gu Shilin spoke, his voice difficult and self-deprecating.
Shen Lin looked at Gu Shilin. There was no light in his eyes. However, in a short period of time, Gu Shilin had to endure so many things, one after another.
Shen Lin felt uncomfortable, and more importantly, he felt guilty and self-blame towards Gu Shilin...
If he had taken her out when he knew she was wrongly accused, wouldn't something like this happen?
A riot in the prison took away Mu Mingwei's life and the starlight in Gu Shilin's eyes. It also plunged Shen Lin into huge self-blame.
On the night of Mu Mingwei's accident, Shen Lin asked Tang Song to investigate why a riot occurred in the prison. Was it a coincidence or was it deliberately arranged?
Mu Mingwei's funeral was organized by Shen Lin with the help of Gu Shilin.
Aunt Wen told Ye Xinning these things. Ye Xinning sat in the yard of the Song family manor and listened for a long time without speaking.
Ye Xinning did not expect that Mu Mingwei's sudden accident happened, but then he thought about it. Mu Mingwei had done so many bad things in her life, and the ending she ended up with was her own doing. She could not blame anyone.
"Does Ji Jianshen know?"
"I understand." Aunt Wen said, "But Mr. Ji didn't say anything. The Gu Group is all in Mr. Ji's hands. A press conference will be held soon. At that time, Mr. Ji will officially be named Gu Hanyu, the eldest son of the Gu family. As a member of the Gu Group, he takes charge of the overall situation."
Ye Xinning nodded, indicating that he understood.
All of this is what Ji Jianshen wanted, and so far, his merits can be considered complete.
"Aunt Wen, we don't need to pay too much attention here. My father will help with Ji Jianshen's affairs."
"Okay." Aunt Wen responded.
Seeing that Ye Xinning was silent and didn't speak, Aunt Wen hesitated before speaking.
"Mu Mingwei died in an accident in prison. Mr. Shen knows that Mu Mingwei was unjustly imprisoned this time. If he really wants to pursue the case, he may feel resentful."
"Do you have resentment in your heart?" Ye Xinning lowered his head and smiled, "To me or to my father?"
"It's hard to say."
Ye Xinning could understand what Aunt Wen meant. She lowered her head, played with her fingers, and said while playing, "The riot was an accident. No one expected it. As for the rest, we can't control what he thinks in his heart."
Ye Xinning's indifferent attitude made Aunt Wen feel that she was thinking too much.
"It's best if Miss Shen thinks so. What Mr. Shen thinks is naturally not that important."
"Um."
Aunt Wen went to work, and Ye Xinning sat in the yard, unconsciously thinking about Shen Lin's thoughts.
Is Shen Lin really taking out his anger on others because of Mu Mingwei's death, as Aunt Wen said?
When she realized that she couldn't help but think about Shen Lin, Ye Xinning shook her head, what was wrong with her? It shouldn't, it shouldn't.
However, what happened to Mu Mingwei was completely unexpected. Her original plan was to let Mu Mingwei stay there for the rest of her life after collecting the evidence, but now something like this happened.
Once Mu Mingwei died, it was time for some things in the past to come to an end.
…
On the day of Mu Mingwei's funeral, Ji Jianshen came to the Song family early in the morning.
When Ye Xinning went downstairs, she was a little surprised to see him sitting in the living room.
"Why are you here so early?"
"It's not early, I dare to come later."
"Well." Ye Xinning sat down opposite Ji Jianshen and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Well, I want you to go somewhere with me."
When Ji Jianshen said these words, Ye Xinning understood where Ji Jianshen was talking about.
Today is Mu Mingwei's funeral.
"Do you really want to go?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning didn't know what kind of mentality Ji Jianshen had when going to Mu Mingwei's funeral, but since Ji Jianshen had spoken, she couldn't refuse anymore, and since they were just going to a funeral together, there should be no problem.
"Okay, I'll go change clothes, you wait for me downstairs."
…
Ye Xinning and Ji Jianshen went to the funeral together. They did not show up when there were the most people, but when everyone was about to leave.
Only Shen Lin and Gu Shilin were left at the scene.
Gu Shilin probably didn't expect Ji Jianshen to show up. The moment he saw them, he exclaimed, "Second sister-in-law, eldest brother."
Ye Xinning, "..."
I don't know why, but Gu Shilin's current title sounds a bit...weird no matter how it sounds.
Gu Shilin's voice attracted Shen Lin's attention. He raised his head and saw Ye Xinning and Ji Jianshen appearing here together.
Both of them were wearing black clothes and walked over, looking so handsome and talented. This scene deeply hurt Shen Lin's eyes.
He looked away, not looking at the two of them.
He spoke in a cold voice, "What are you two doing here? Are you adding insult to injury?"
