“Mr. He had previously worked with our bank, and I was the one who handled the liaison work before. This time, they called me over.”
Jiang An was a bank employee before she became pregnant. After she became pregnant, Shen Lin asked her to go to the riverside villa to rest and prepare for childbirth.
Knowing that Shen Lin would bring Ye Xinning, she came too.
Jiang An approached Shen Lin and stood naturally beside him.
"What a coincidence! I didn't know you and Miss Ye would be coming too."
Ye Xinning couldn't help but snort coldly from the side.
Shen Lin is a man whose every word can shake the business world of Nancheng. How could the He family not invite him to their banquet?
Jiang An's pretense was truly clumsy.
"Miss Jiang, your arrival is just in time. Shen Lin is short of a female companion, so I'll trouble you here. I'll head back now."
As she spoke, she turned to leave.
Shen Lin grabbed her hand, preventing him from leaving.
Ye Xinning couldn't hold back any longer and shouted in a low voice, "Chen Lin, are you out of your mind? Do you really think you're so great that you can enjoy the blessings of having two women?"
"If you leave now, I'll make sure all of the Ye family's projects fail by tomorrow."
"Whatever." She'd had enough.
He either threatens her with Shen Yu or with the Ye family. Does he really think she can stay calm forever?
She tried to shake off his hand.
But he still held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
"Stay here."
After Shen Lin finished speaking to her, he looked at Jiang An.
"It's not convenient for you to be in this kind of situation, so I'll have Wenzhu take you home."
Jiang An bit her lower lip and said, "I haven't spoken to Mr. He yet."
"I'll go with you."
Jiang An hesitated for a moment, but still went with him against her will.
Upon gaining his freedom, Ye Xinning's first reaction was to leave this place.
Chi Zhao smiled and said, "Shall we go over there and chat for a while?"
Ye Xinning glanced at him suspiciously, "What does Brother Chi Zhao want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about you and Shen Lin."
Ye Xinning felt there was nothing to talk about, but Chi Zhao was her brother after all, so she felt embarrassed to refuse.
The two went to the balcony.
Chi Zhao's first question naturally turned to Shen Lin, "Why are you so determined to divorce him?"
Ye Xinning felt that Chi Zhao's question was somewhat unnecessary.
"Given the current situation, does Brother Chi Zhao think I should continue to maintain a marriage that exists in name only?"
"Does Jiang An's appearance make you feel that your marriage is only in name?"
"Isn't that so?"
"But have you ever considered that some things might not be as they appear?"
"What do you mean by 'not what I saw'?" Ye Xinning asked, puzzled as to why Chi Zhao was saying this. What did she mean by "not what I saw"?
Jiang An's pregnancy is now a fact. Shen Lin dotes on Jiang An and has insulted her several times for her sake.
Is there some other reason?
Chi Zhao moved his lips, but before he could say anything, a female voice suddenly rang out behind Ye Xinning.
"Oh, who is this? Isn't this my future niece?"
Ye Xinning frowned, instinctively wanting to pretend she hadn't heard.
But the person behind her walked straight towards her.
"Ye Xinning, it really is you."
Ye Xinning narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the person in front of her.
Mu Yinjing, Huo Yanzhi's childhood sweetheart and fiancée, is also one of the people she hates the most.
Mu Yinjing is the eldest daughter of the Mu family and the most beloved granddaughter of Old Master Mu. She has been pampered since childhood, which has led to her arrogant and domineering personality.
Previously, Huo Yanzhi left Nancheng, and Mu Yinjing followed suit.
Huo Yanzhi returned, and Mu Yinjing naturally returned to Nancheng as well. A meeting was inevitable, but she did not expect to see him so soon, especially on such a occasion.
Her gaze was deep and fixed on Mu Yinjing. After a long while, she spoke.
"Miss Mu."
Mu Yinjing looked her up and down, then suddenly laughed, "What's wrong? It's been years, and you don't seem to be doing so well."
Ye Xinning knew that Mu Yinjing must have come with ill intentions.
During this time, her affair with Shen Lin has caused quite a stir. The whole of Nancheng probably knows that Shen Lin's mistress has a child. Mu Yinjing's eagerness to come at this time must be to mock her.
"Whether I'm satisfied or not, what does it have to do with Miss Mu?"
Mu Yinjing hadn't expected that she could be so hypocritical under these circumstances.
"What's so arrogant about someone like you who has been rejected by Shen Lin? Ye Xinning, I've said it before, how could someone like you, who seduces people everywhere, possibly win Shen Lin's love?"
Mu Yinjing hates her so much and tries to motivate her with all sorts of words, simply because Mu Yinjing deeply loves Huo Yanzhi, and Huo Yanzhi has become entangled with her.
Ultimately, her unrequited love led Mu Yinjing to make things difficult for her in every way.
But what did she do?
She tilted her head slightly, her red lips parted, and her words were soft and gentle, with a hint of nonchalance.
“Miss Mu is wrong about something. At least I got to marry the person I wanted to marry, which is worth it. Unlike Miss Mu, who has been following a man but still… made no progress at all.”
"Ye Xinning, you..."
Mu Yinjing blushed with embarrassment at Ye Xinning's words, took a few steps forward and raised her hand to hit Ye Xinning.
At that moment, a pair of large hands stopped her hand.
Looking up, Huo Yanzhi's face was cold and stern, his thin lips pressed into sharp lines as he stared at her.
“Yanzhi”.
Huo Yanzhi coldly released her hand.
"go back."
