Chapter 710 Lin Yun's Conspiracy
When Shen Anning received Lin Yun's call, she was in the middle of a law firm interview.
It's really just a formality; anyone Chu Yuke approves of can't be bad.
In the conference room, Shen Anning held her phone in one hand, slowly stood up, and gently patted Chu Yuke's shoulder.
Chu Yuke understood and nodded to her.
Shen Anning nodded slightly to the male lawyer who was conducting the interview, then turned and walked out of the conference room.
With the phone pressed to her ear, Shen Anning walked toward her office, her voice indifferent: "I'm at the law firm. I'll only wait for you for ten minutes."
Ten minutes is actually a bit tight for getting from the hospital to the law firm.
But Shen Anning hung up the phone after saying that.
She knew that Lin Yun would arrive no matter what.
Her intentions were too obvious.
Shen Anning walked to her desk, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and gently placed her hands on her slightly protruding belly.
His expression was calm, and he was not particularly moved.
Lin Yun, a woman who was able to seize the opportunity to escape her predicament because of her compassion and charity, but whose ambition grew as a result.
Shen Anning dialed Qi Yue's number.
Qi Yue answered very quickly.
"Anning, I was just about to send you a WeChat message." Qi Yue's voice was deep, with a hint of pleasure in it.
"The law firm hired a new lawyer today." Shen Anning looked down at the cars coming and going on the street, her voice gentle. "Now I can officially start my maternity leave."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue paused, and it took him a while to react.
"Is it because I suggested you take a break from work last time?"
“You’re right,” Shen Anning said, touching her belly. “Right now, it’s definitely the most important thing to take care of the pregnancy.”
"An Ning," Qi Yue said gently and deeply, "I'm glad you understand."
Shen Anning smiled and said, "To celebrate my first day of maternity leave, shall we go out for dinner together tonight?"
"In the evening?" Qi Yue pondered for a moment and asked, "I was just about to tell you that some friends wanted me to take you out for dinner tonight. They're all groomsmen, and they said they wanted you to get to know them beforehand so it won't be too awkward on the wedding day."
Shen Anning was pregnant and didn't really want to attend this kind of gathering, but when she heard about the groomsmen, her eyes widened.
Then she asked, "Are you all single?"
Qi Yue narrowed his eyes, "What is Mrs. Qi planning?"
“You’ve already called me Mrs. Qi, so what other ideas do you think I could have?” Shen Anning smiled and explained, “My senior sister is still single, and she’s one of the bridesmaids. If you have any eligible single friends, I’ll bring her along tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue pursed her lips and finally said honestly, "I don't recommend anyone except Zhou Jingye. You can choose anyone else, Senior Sister."
"Zhou Jingye?" Shen Anning frowned. "Is he the Mr. Zhou who accompanied Yunqin to the photo studio to take wedding photos that day?"
"Yes, he manages an entertainment company and deals with female celebrities and internet influencers in the entertainment industry, so his romantic history is quite extensive."
Shen Anning, "..."
“Don’t worry, although birds of a feather flock together, apart from his unsatisfactory romantic history, he’s alright in other aspects.” Qi Yue added, as if afraid that Shen Anning would overthink things, “Personally, I don’t approve of his behavior in relationships.”
"President Qi, there's no need to be so nervous. I know very well whether you're a womanizer or not."
"You investigated me?"
Shen Anning raised her hand to her forehead, thinking to herself, when will this kind of life, where she accidentally lets something slip while chatting and then frantically tries to cover it up, ever end!
She sighed inwardly, but her tone remained relaxed, "Our two families have such a good relationship, why would I need to investigate you?"
Qi Yue was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."
Shen Anning saw a white Mercedes parked in the parking space for outside vehicles downstairs.
A short while later, a beautiful figure got out of the car and walked straight into the building.
It's Lin Yun.
"That's all for now. Send me your address on WeChat later, and my senior sister and I will go there together."
"I'm at the company now. I'll finish my meeting around five o'clock. Shall I come pick you up?"
“Okay,” Shen Anning said. “Then we’ll wait for you at the law firm.”
"good."
...
After hanging up the phone, Shen Anning put her phone on her desk, turned around, and walked to her executive chair to sit down.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the office door.
Shen Anning said calmly, "Please come in."
The office door opened, and Xiaoxue stood in the doorway, reporting to Shen Anning, "Sister Anning, this Miss Lin says she has an appointment with you."
Shen Anning said calmly, "Let her in."
Xiaoxue nodded, stepped aside to make way, and gestured for Lin Yun to come in: "Miss Lin, please come in."
Lin Yun strode in, her high heels clicking on the marble floor, carrying a Chanel designer bag. She exuded confidence and composure.
"Xiaoxue, close the door. Mr. Lin and I have something to discuss." Shen Anning leaned back in her executive chair, gently touching her stomach, her voice indifferent.
"Okay." Xiaoxue understood that this meant she didn't need to bring tea. She glanced at Lin Yun, knowing that the visitor was up to no good, and silently closed the door.
...
The office door closed.
Shen Anning looked at Lin Yun and said, "President Lin is really efficient. No wonder she is the female president that Ronghao Group has cultivated."
Lin Yun's gaze swept over Shen Anning's stomach, then looked into Shen Anning's eyes, her red lips curving slightly: "I didn't expect that after five years, you and President Qi would still be together."
Shen Anning looked at her, her beautiful eyes icy cold. "If President Lin is here to offer his blessings, then it's a bit hasty. The invitation hasn't even been sent to Yueyun yet."
“Miss Chen, you know I came to see you with ulterior motives, so there’s no need for us to beat around the bush.” Lin Yun took a few steps forward, stood in front of the desk, lowered her eyes, and looked down at people with a condescending air.
Shen Anning remained seated, one hand resting on her stomach, her beautiful eyes curving slightly in a smile.
She never regretted helping Lin Yun out of momentary pity, but not regretting it didn't mean she would tolerate Lin Yun continuing to grow her ambitions.
Five years ago, she could change Lin Yun's fate with a single sentence; five years later, she could just as easily bring Lin Yun back to square one with the same sentence.
“It’s obvious that President Lin is in a hurry.” Shen Anning nodded. “That’s right. You’ve even recognized Uncle Luo as your godfather. You’ve worked hard to maintain your inspirational and strong woman persona for five years. In the end, you still can’t compete with me, your white moonlight. It’s quite normal for you to break down.”
"You—" Lin Yun's face contorted for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
She hadn't forgotten why she came here.
Lin Yun composed herself, frowned as she looked at Shen Anning, her voice tinged with grievance, "Miss Shen, why are you so harsh? I admit I admire President Qi, but I never intended to interfere between you and President Qi. President Qi and I have always been completely innocent! Your breakup with President Qi five years ago was your problem! You can slander me, but you are clearly the one who wronged President Qi. What right do you have to wrongfully question me?"
