A life where one cannot even control their own destiny is nothing short of a joke.
Ye Rouxin realized that her words had been somewhat harsh, and she tried to make amends.
"I'm sorry, Ningning, Mom got a little agitated just now. I just didn't want you to act impulsively."
"Alright, you can go now." Ye Xinning didn't want to say anything more to her.
Ye Rouxin wanted to continue the conversation, but Ye Xinning had already turned her face away and stopped looking at her.
Reluctantly, she had no choice but to leave.
“I ran into Shen Lin when I came here. He should be back soon. Talk to him nicely later. He actually cares about you. If he didn’t care, why would he send you to the hospital?”
...
The ward fell silent again.
After the IV drip was finished, Ye Xinning pulled out the needle herself, lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and prepared to leave.
She had just reached the corner of the corridor when she suddenly heard a conversation that made her stop in her tracks.
"Is Miss Ye alright?"
Ye Xinning stopped in her tracks. Through this corner, she could see Jiang An and Shen Lin standing there.
Shen Lin had her back to her, and Jiang An's voice came from behind.
“I wanted to visit her, so I bought her some fruit and some supplements.”
“She doesn’t need it.” Shen Lin’s voice was low.
“I heard that Ms. Ye left home and went to a hotel last night. I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that I made Ms. Ye so determined to get a divorce. Should I go and apologize to Ms. Ye and ask her not to be angry?”
"You don't need to do these things."
"You don't want to divorce her because you love her?"
Before Shen Lin could answer, Ye Xinning turned and quickly left.
For her to stand there and listen to Shen Lin say "I don't love you" when she already knew the answer was obvious would only be humiliating.
She left the hospital without notifying anyone and took a taxi back to her hotel.
In the corridor.
Jiang An's words made Shen Lin frown.
He looked at Jiang An, his voice indifferent, "You've overstepped your bounds."
Those four simple words were enough for Jiang An to sense Shen Lin's displeasure.
She quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding with panic, but her face remained innocent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I just wanted to say that if you don't want to divorce Ms. Ye, I can go and explain to her."
"No."
Shen Lin raised his hand to stop him.
"President Shen."
"Alright, you can go back to your ward now."
Jiang An moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Shen Lin had already turned and walked towards Ye Xinning's ward.
However, upon returning to the ward, Shen Nanxing was seen standing alone in front of the bed, lost in thought, while Ye Xinning was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Lin walked over and asked, "Where is he?"
Shen Nanxing spread his hands and said helplessly, "Can't you tell? Let's go."
Shen Lin's face was cold and stern. "Your hospital is so big, you can't even keep an eye on one person?"
Shen Nanxing was speechless. "My brother, he just has a cold and fever. He has hands and feet. If he wants to leave, can we stop him?"
Shen Lin remained silent.
He turned around and dialed Ye Xinning's number, but unsurprisingly, the phone was off.
Frustrated, he dialed Wenzhu's number again, asking her to find out where Ye Xinning was.
Soon we received word that Ye Xinning had been taken back to the hotel.
Who sent it?
"Madam's uncle, Mr. Huo Yanzhi."
Upon learning that it was Huo Yanzhi who had taken Ye Xinning away, Shen Lin's expression instantly turned terrifyingly grim.
How long have you been walking?
"Half an hour ago."
Shen Lin put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and walked out of the hospital. "To the Ye family."
Shen Nanxing stood there, watching Shen Lin leave in a hurry, and shook his head helplessly.
...
On the other hand, Ye Xinning's original plan was to take a taxi back to the hotel.
But as soon as she left the hospital, she ran into Huo Yanzhi. The man stopped her and, ignoring her resistance, forced her into his car.
She was about to open the car door and get out, but Huo Yan had locked the car.
"Huo Yanzhi, what are you trying to do?"
She asked helplessly, still sick, her voice very weak.
"I'll take you back to the Ye family. You're sick and need someone to take care of you."
Upon hearing Huo Yanzhi say that he wanted to return to the Ye family, Ye Xinning frowned and coldly refused.
"I'm not going back. Let me down."
"Stop making a scene, okay? You still want to go back to the hotel like this? Or are you going back to the Shen family's place?"
"My affairs are none of your business."
Huo Yanzhi acted as if he hadn't heard her words and started the car, leaving the hospital.
Ye Xinning felt even more resistant when she saw that he was unwilling to stop the car.
"Huo Yanzhi, I told you to stop the car. I'm not going back to the Ye family."
She didn't want to go back to the Ye family with him. If possible, she hoped she would never have any contact with Huo Yanzhi in her life.
Huo Yanzhi remained silent this time, and as the car drove on, she ignored everything Ye Xinning said.
The car was parked in front of the Ye family's house.
As soon as Huo Yanzhi opened the car door, Ye Xinning pushed him aside and walked in the opposite direction from the Ye family home.
"Where are you going?" Huo Yanzhi quickly caught up and took her hand.
Ye Xinning instinctively shook him off, and just as she was about to speak, Ye Rouxin's voice suddenly rang out.
"I'm back."
Ye Xinning looked towards the doorway, where Ye Rouxin and Huo Qijun were standing.
Huo Qijun smiled broadly, "Ningning is back. Come in quickly. Have you eaten yet? I'll have the servants prepare something."
Ye Xinning turned around and looked at them.
Ye Rouxin also spoke up, "If you're sick, don't stay out in the wind. Come in."
Ye Xinning stood there, pondered for a moment, and then walked towards Ye Rouxin.
Upon seeing this, Ye Rouxin immediately instructed the servants to prepare food for Ye Xinning.
Since Ye Xinning married Shen Lin, she has returned to the Ye family very few times, and the relationship between her and her mother has always been distant.
But Ye Rouxin only has one daughter, and although she doesn't say it, she still hopes that her daughter can come back more often.
Sitting in the living room, only Ye Xinning and Ye Rouxin were present. Huo Qijun called Huo Yanzhi upstairs, probably knowing that she didn't like them.
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" Ye Rouxin asked her.
"Hmm." Ye Xinning nodded, then added, "It wasn't a big deal, it's just that I haven't been getting enough rest lately."
"I think you're not actually lacking rest, but rather you're upset by that woman."
The person Ye Rouxin was referring to was Ye Xinning, and Ye Xinning knew that.
"I can handle my own affairs, so please stop interfering."
"If you could handle it, you wouldn't be staying in a hotel," Ye Rouxin said irritably.
Ye Xinning frowned. "I told you before that I was getting a divorce from Shen Lin, and my moving out of the Shen family early was just a reasonable move."
Seeing that Ye Rouxin showed no emotion, she said helplessly, "You don't think I've been joking with you all along, do you?"
"Divorce from Shen Lin is impossible. I just think you're being childish. The marriage was a business arrangement that was voluntary. Now that Shen Lin has gotten into this mess, the Shen family will give an explanation. There's no reason for a divorce."
