Was she ever pregnant with another man's child?
Ye Xinning felt a pang of pain in her heart. She tried her best to remain calm and not let her emotions get out of control. "Chen Lin, I can explain this to you."
"So you're admitting it? So you really were pregnant with someone else's child?" Shen Lin smiled coldly, his face devoid of any warmth. "Yes, I should have expected this. All the investigation results are in hand. I was hoping you could say something."
Ye Xinning felt incredibly heartbroken listening to him repeatedly refer to someone else's child.
“I’ve said it before, I’ve never cared about anyone but you.”
"You didn't care about anyone, yet you've been pregnant with someone else's child?" Shen Lin was furious. He spoke each word with gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Ye Xinning looked into his eyes. She knew he wouldn't believe her, but at that moment, she still followed her heart and tried to explain.
"If I told you that the child is yours, would you believe me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lin suddenly shouted, "You keep repeating the same lie, Ye Xinning. What can I say about you? What do you take me for? A fool with no judgment? I had Wen Zhu investigate five years ago, and you weren't even in Nancheng back then."
Ye Xinning's face was pale.
She stared at Shen Lin in front of her. He had kissed her tenderly that morning and promised to go with her to pay respects to her grandfather. But in just a few hours, he had changed.
Even though it was the same person standing in front of her, Ye Xinning felt no warmth in her heart.
She felt cold all over, and all her words turned to nothing. She didn't know what to do.
Huo Yanzhi erased all information about her from five years ago in Nancheng. What she says now is all a lie to Shen Lin, but Shen Lin can't remember anything, so any explanation she gives seems weak and powerless.
Seeing Ye Xinning remain silent, Shen Lin's heart grew colder and colder.
"So, do you love that man? Love him enough to have a child for him?"
Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time before speaking again, her voice becoming hoarse.
"You won't believe any of my explanations?"
"How can you expect me to believe you?" Shen Lin shook off her hand, his icy gaze falling on her face, his expression devoid of any warmth.
She smiled, and as she looked at Shen Lin, her gaze softened.
"Since you don't believe me, what else is there to say?"
"Good, good, very good." Shen Jin said this almost through gritted teeth.
He then turned and strode away.
As the car sped past her, Ye Xinning felt a deep, persistent pain in her heart that threatened to engulf her entirely.
She remained in one position, her eyes moist, but she knew she couldn't cry at this moment.
She still had to visit her grandfather, and she couldn't go with a bad mood no matter what.
Ye Xinning took a taxi to the cemetery and arrived at her grandfather's grave.
The Ye family members must have all come to pay their respects. She placed the things she brought in front of the grave and sat on the ground talking to her grandfather.
She stayed there until evening before getting up to leave.
The phone rang just as I stepped out of the cemetery.
She hurriedly took out her phone, and at that moment she felt a surge of hope. She desperately hoped that the call was from Shen Lin.
But no...
The screen showed her mother. Ye Xinning answered the phone, her voice visibly tired.
"What's wrong?"
Did you go to the cemetery?
"Um."
"Okay, it's good that you went. Is Shen Lin with you now?"
"Not here."
Ye Xinning's voice became even hoarse when Shen Lin was mentioned.
She suppressed her emotions and replied in a low voice, mentioning that Shen Lin wasn't there. Ye Rouxin asked in surprise, "What happened? Didn't he go with you?"
"He's busy. Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'm hanging up."
Ye Xinning was in a bad mood and didn't have the energy to say anything else to her, so she hung up the phone after speaking.
It was a long way from the cemetery to where you could hail a taxi, and Ye Xinning suddenly regretted not driving here today.
She was originally waiting for Shen Lin to pick her up...
Thinking of this, a sense of sadness washed over Ye Xinning once again. You should never have too many expectations of someone, because the road ahead is unknown, and you can never know what awaits you.
Unable to hail a taxi, she had to walk alone. The weather was cold and foggy. Ye Xinning frowned. Was this what people meant by "when it rains, it pours"?
With very low visibility and poor cell phone signal, Ye Xinning was unable to hail a taxi several times.
Just as she was wondering whether she should call one of her friends to pick her up, the glaring headlights of a car at the intersection caught her attention. "Why would there be a car parked in such a remote place?" Ye Xinning thought to herself, and prepared to look away.
The next second, the parked car suddenly drove towards her as if it had gone out of control. This was not the first time Ye Xinning had experienced something like this. From the moment she left the cemetery to the moment she encountered this car, everything was strange.
That car was clearly targeted at me.
She stood there, unable to see who was in the driver's seat. With the car speeding towards her, Ye Xinning knew that she couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.
Just when Ye Xinning thought he was going to die here today, the car that was rushing towards him was suddenly hit hard by another car.
The two cars collided. The car that tried to hit her was overturned, while the car that saved her was also badly damaged.
Faced with such a horrific car accident, Ye Xinning stood frozen in place. The sudden turn of events took her a moment to process before she took a step forward and quickly ran towards the scene.
But before she could get close, the car that had saved her suddenly started and drove off in another direction, quickly disappearing from sight.
Ye Xinning instinctively wanted to chase after it, but how could her legs keep up with the speed of the car?
As the car completely disappeared from sight, Ye Xinning was helpless.
Who's in the car?
Is it someone I know?
Why did you save her? And why won't you show yourself after saving her?
Ye Xinning had too many questions in her mind, but the sound of police sirens forced her to look away and look at the overturned car again.
Who is it that would go to such lengths to kill her?
When the police arrived, Ye Xinning cooperated with their investigation and went to the hospital to give a statement.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Ye Xinning stood at the entrance of the police station and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. I can say with certainty that this was a premeditated murder."
"What does Miss Ye mean?"
"My future stepfather, perhaps you could try to work towards that goal."
