After taking on the new case, Ye Xinning was much busier than before. The next morning, Shen Lin offered to take her to the law firm.
She refused without even thinking about it.
“I’ll drive myself. I’m not necessarily at the law firm all day. If you drive me, it won’t be convenient for me to go out.”
She spoke as she dressed, looking at the marks left by Chen Lin all over her body, and felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Fortunately, it's winter now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go out with all those marks on her body.
Thinking this to herself, Ye Xinning added, "By the way, Xiaoxiao and I might be busy until very late tonight, so you guys eat first and don't worry about me."
Shen Lin came out of the bathroom, came up behind her, and hugged her from behind.
"Shall I come pick you up?"
Ye Xinning repeated, "I said I don't need it."
"Really not going to do it?" he asked again as he spoke.
Ye Xinning pressed his hand down, a smile playing on her lips, "Mr. Shen, it would be good to be more restrained."
“Moderation?” He chuckled softly, his voice low and gentle.
"If I continue to be more restrained, does Mrs. Shen want me to become a vegetarian?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
A beast in human clothing.
She moved away from him, keeping a safe distance between them. "I have to go to work. I'll be late if I linger any longer."
After she finished speaking, she ignored Shen Lin and went straight downstairs.
Shen Lin stood behind them, watching the people flee in disarray, his smile gradually widening.
...
Upon arriving at the law firm, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao collected the documents.
Today we're going to meet with the client. Ye Xiaoxiao, carrying the documents, followed behind Ye Xinning. "Speaking of which, this case is a bit difficult. What if we can't find the motorcycle owner?"
"Once we take on a case, our job is to win it. As for the person, we have to win whether we find them or not."
Such a statement would be something an ordinary person would never dare to make; it requires sufficient confidence and strategic planning.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, have you ever lost a case?"
"No."
The answer was exactly what she expected. Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, "I wonder when my sister will lose her first case."
Ye Xinning pondered these words repeatedly, but something just didn't sound right.
"Why does that sound like you're hoping I'll fail?"
"Of course not." Ye Xiao chuckled, just curious whether there might be.
"I hope there won't be that exception, but of course, if there is, I'll accept it calmly."
"Of course, in my heart my sister is amazing. Even if there was one time, it can be considered as gaining experience."
It was just a casual conversation between the two, but neither of them knew that what they were talking about today would not only happen in the future, but would also be the most painful time for them...
When they arrived at the coffee shop, Ye Xinning sat and waited for her client, while Ye Xiaoxiao went to buy her coffee.
Soon after, Grandma Yang's daughter, Song Xiang, arrived. She was a woman in her early twenties, dressed very plainly, and her face was not particularly delicate, but she could be considered pretty.
Ye Xinning had read her information before. Grandma Yang had a daughter late in life, Song Xiang. Song Xiang was outstanding from childhood to adulthood. A few years ago, she was working in another city. After returning, she learned about Grandma Yang's situation and chose to file a lawsuit, which led her to their law firm.
Song Xiang was very polite and even brought her a gift. "Hello, Attorney Ye. I'm sorry we had a little accident on the way and the car broke down. This small gift is just a token of our appreciation."
Ye Xinning shook her head, refusing the gift offered to her. "Miss Song, you're too kind. We just arrived a little while ago. As for the gift, our law firm doesn't have the habit of accepting gifts."
Song Xiang didn't want her to refuse, "Miss Ye, do you think this gift isn't valuable enough?"
Song Xiang knew that Ye Xinning was the young mistress of the Shen family, and naturally, she wouldn't care about such a small thing.
"No, you're overthinking it. I'll only charge you the legal fees you're entitled to. We're just legal representatives."
"But without Attorney Ye, with our meager funds, the law firm probably wouldn't accept us."
Ye Xinning didn't know what to say. She placed her hand on the table and tapped it occasionally.
"Attorney Ye, please accept this."
Song Xiang was very enthusiastic, and Ye Xinning wanted to refuse but couldn't find the words to say.
After accepting the gift, Ye Xinning discussed the details of the case with Song Xiang. In the end, there was only one breakthrough in the case: finding evidence of the motorcycle owner's debt or finding the video footage of the accident.
But these are not simple matters. Song Xiang was very worried. "My mother did make a mistake, and we have paid back the money, but her hands are now like this because of this. I am heartbroken. Attorney Ye, you must help me get compensation."
"Now that I've taken on this case, I'll do my best. Next..."
Ye Xinning chatted with Song Xiang while Ye Xiaoxiao took notes. They didn't finish discussing the key points until almost noon.
"Attorney Ye, let me treat you to dinner."
"No."
Ye Xinning refused, saying, "You should go back and see your mother. It's not good for her to be alone without anyone to take care of her."
Seeing that she said that, Song Xiang did not press the matter further. "Then I'll have to trouble Attorney Ye."
After Song Xiang left, Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao found a nearby restaurant to eat.
"Sis, do you think we can find the owner of that motorcycle?"
"If we can't find it, let the authorities look for it."
"But given the current situation, Grandma Yang is involved in insurance fraud, which is quite difficult."
"Whether it is difficult or not depends not on external forces, but on how much we are willing to give."
It has to be said that what Ye Xinning said made sense. Ye Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, "As expected, it has to be my sister. Well then... I wish us all the best."
Ye Xinning and Ye Xiaoxiao looked at each other and both smiled.
"I'm going to the restroom, you eat first."
She got up to go to the restroom, but unexpectedly heard a familiar voice from a distance.
Ye Xinning looked up and saw Xia He dressed in a white shirt and suit skirt, looking impeccably dressed, arranging work with someone on the other end of the phone.
Their eyes met, and Xia He hung up the phone.
As always, he was polite and courteous, addressing her as "Miss".
"You're here for dinner?"
"Yes, it's something personal."
So Ye Rouxin isn't here, Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't want to see Ye Rouxin for the time being.
"Then I'll be going now."
"Goodbye, young lady."
Ye Xinning turned and left.
She didn't take her meeting with Xia He to heart.
She returned to the dining table and had just sat down when she heard Ye Xiaoxiao say, "Sis, your phone kept ringing. It must be some text message. Take a look."
Ye Xinning gave an "oh," picked up her phone, and opened the text message. When she saw what was on the screen, her gaze instantly turned cold.
As for the phone, there was nothing but pregnancy photos.
It goes without saying who sent these photos.
But what Ye Xinning didn't expect was that Jiang An was having too good a life in New Zealand, so he came to provoke her?
