"I understand, don't worry, miss, I will find a way to get the results you want."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wen."
"By the way, the Huo family doesn't have Miss Embarrassing, right?"
Ye Xinning shook his head, "What can they do to me? Even if they want to do anything, they have to take the Shen family's face into consideration."
Hearing her say that, Wen Yu felt a lot more relieved, "That's good, that's good."
Ye Xinning sat with Wen Yu until night. She originally wanted to send Aunt Wen to her place, but Wen Yu refused.
"No, I haven't been back to Nancheng for a long time. If you want to walk around, miss, you'd better go back early."
Seeing her persistence, Ye Xinning did not force it, "We will contact you if there is any news in the future."
"good."
…
After separating from Wen Yu, Ye Xinning originally wanted to go back to Shen's house directly, but as soon as she walked out of the restaurant, she received a call from Ye Rouxin.
Ye Xinning did not expect that Ye Rouxin would call. Her first reaction was to hang up. In fact, she did just that.
But Ye Rouxin's patience was so long, she hung up once, and Ye Rouxin called again, as if she would never give up if she didn't answer the call tonight.
Ye Xinning had no choice but to block Ye Rouxin's phone number. No matter what, Ye Rouxin was her mother, so she had no choice but to answer the phone.
"You finally answered the phone?"
Ye Xinning was irritated. As she walked on the road, her tone was not so good, "Don't you think you are sure that I will answer the phone in the end if you keep calling me?"
"Do you have to talk to me like this?"
"If I remember correctly, I was slapped by you just a few days ago. I shouldn't have forgotten the wound so quickly."
Mentioning what happened last time, Ye Rouxin softened her tone. She sincerely apologized to Ye Xinning, "I'm sorry Ning Ning. It was my mother who was too impulsive that happened last time. I promise, it won't happen again in the future."
Ye Xinning's heart seemed to have become numb, and she would never believe it no matter what Ye Rouxin said.
Maybe it's because I've been disappointed too many times.
"If you have something to talk about directly, what are you going to say this time? Are you asking me to help you get some project from the Shen Group again?" Ye Xinning said this with a bit of sarcasm.
inside.
She was venting her anger, how could Ye Rouxin feel better? When mother and daughter reached this point, what they were best at was using emotions to communicate problems. To put it bluntly...
quarrel.
"When you talk to me like this, do you still think of me as your mother a little bit in your heart? Or, have you longed for that woman named Wen to be your mother?"
Ye Xinning stopped and her voice was a bit cooler than before, "So you called just because you knew Aunt Wen was here?"
"Yes, I know she is here. Why, Song Zhengchu is no longer in Nancheng and has disappeared without a trace. Why is she still coming to Nancheng to pester you?"
Ye Xinning clenched her hands and closed her eyes, suppressing her emotions in this way.
Song Zhengchu, her father, disappeared in Nancheng after divorcing his mother. Since then, he has deliberately hidden his itinerary and there has been no news about him.
"How does mom feel when she mentions dad again now?"
"I'm not in the mood?"
"Haha." Ye Xinning sneered, "I wonder if Huo Qijun is with you now? I think he is not. If he was, how could you take the initiative to mention my father."
"Ye Xinning." Ye Rouxin became angry.
Ye Xinning took the phone further away. It didn't take much thinking to know that Ye Rouxin must have started saying those nasty things again.
"Let me tell you Ye Xinning, that woman had bad intentions from the beginning. Why do you think she was nice to you? It's not because of Song Zhengchu. She has always wanted to destroy our family."
These words sounded somewhat funny to Ye Xinning at this moment.
What does it mean to destroy their family? If you don’t know, you think their family is so happy.
"Do I need to remind you? Our family ceased to exist long ago when you and Huo Qijun were together."
"If Song Zhengchu hadn't had an affair with that woman first, how could I..."
There was no need to finish the rest of the words, Ye Xinning already knew what she was going to say.
It's nothing more than putting the responsibility of being with Huo Qijun on his father.
"Whether you believe it or not, my father has only loved you from the beginning to the end. The betrayal you thought never existed." Ye Xinning explained word for word. At this point, she paused for a while before speaking again.
"As for Aunt Wen's return this time, I asked her to come back. I need her help with something."
"What do you need her help with?"
"I said it, but you won't believe it. That's it. It's nothing. I'm hanging up the phone."
After saying that, Ye Xinning hung up the phone. She tried to tell Ye Rouxin about how she was imprisoned by Huo Yanzhi and had all traces erased, but Ye Rouxin never believed her.
The more times I did it, I gradually became extremely disappointed and no longer wanted to explain anything. As for my feelings for Aunt Wen, it was just respect for an elder, and Aunt Wen had always only taken care of her.
As long as they understand these things.
Ye Xinning was walking on the roadside and was worried about these things when her phone rang again.
She picked up the phone and looked at it, it was Shen Lin's number.
"Hi." She said softly, her tone lazily.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing." She replied absentmindedly. Since when did Shen Lin like to ask such unnutritious questions?
"Why are you lowering your head? Is there any money on the ground?" The other person spoke again, but this time the words he said made Ye Xinning freeze on the spot.
what did he say?
Why are you keeping your head down?
Realizing that Shen Lin might be nearby, Ye Xinning looked around for him, but saw no one.
But this meant that she had changed her perception. As she held the phone, her voice became much softer.
"Where are you?"
"look up."
Ye Xinning raised his head and looked diagonally towards the second floor. Shen Lin was holding the phone with one hand in his pocket. Looking from the bottom up, he stood tall and straight, with sharp features. The coat on his body was fluttering with the wind.
His temperament is exceptionally cold, yet it makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Next to Shen Lin, there were several other people standing, probably clients who came out to discuss business together.
Ye Xinning was moved, but before she could speak, Shen Lin had already hung up the phone and walked downstairs.
A few minutes later, the person had arrived in front of her. Just as Ye Xinning was about to speak, Shen Lin had already taken off his coat and put it on for her.
She paused, opened her lips, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" There were so many people watching upstairs, and they must have started talking in low voices at this moment.
"It's such a cold day, do you think you're invincible? Wearing such little clothes?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She looked at the clothes she was wearing. It was not as cold as it was now when she went out in the morning. To match her skirt, she wore a knitted coat instead of a coat.
I didn’t want the temperature drop to come so suddenly and be so cold at night.
She raised her head slightly, looked at Shen Lin's chin, and said something subconsciously, "Shen Lin, are you caring about me?"
