Chapter 146 Progress of the Car Accident Investigation



That's exactly what Ye Xinning was considering.

She was afraid that doing so would hurt Shen Lin.

Mo Zichen knew this perfectly well. It was precisely because he understood this that he advised Ye Xinning, "I'll have someone consult you about this. I happen to have a friend who used to work in London doing this kind of thing. As for whether or not to use hypnosis, and whether hypnosis will help him regain his memories, these are all unknowns. Think about it carefully and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

After receiving Mo Zichen's reply, Ye Xinning decided to think it over again and let Mo Zichen find someone in this field first.

...

That night, Shen Lin did not return again, something Ye Xinning had already anticipated.

When she came downstairs, Shen Yuxi, the old lady Jiang An, and everyone else were there, except for Shen Lin.

How could she not know that Shen Lin was avoiding her? So, did he really hate her that much? He didn't even want to meet her.

"Getting up before the sun is high in the sky, no manners at all."

As soon as Ye Xinning entered the living room, she heard the old lady's somewhat nitpicky remarks.

She glanced down at her wristwatch; it was only a little past eight, a normal time.

Ye Xinning pursed her lips and decided not to argue with the old lady.

Xi Yuan pulled her to sit down. "Have you made up with Chen Lin?"

Shen Yu was unaware that they had a falling out, so Xi Yuan kept her voice very low.

When Shen Lin was mentioned, Ye Xinning fell silent for a moment before shaking her head. "Not yet."

“The Spring Festival is just around the corner. I hope your unpleasantness won’t continue into next year. Why don’t we go talk to Chen Lin? How can a husband and wife quarrel like this? He has no class at all.”

Ye Xinning knew that Xi Yuan was concerned about her, but she still firmly refused, "No need, Aunt Xi. Trust me, I can handle it."

Aunt Xi wanted to say something more, but the old lady on the other end became displeased again, "What are you muttering about? What kind of behavior is this?"

Xi Yuan glanced at the old lady, then looked at Jiang An beside her and felt incredibly annoyed. This woman really was clinging to their Shen family.

“I’d like to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xinning. If you’d like to hear it too, Mom, you can come sit down. After all, there are outsiders in the house, so it’s not appropriate to say everything to outsiders.”

Xi Yuan said this to anger the old lady, and she wasn't too surprised to see the old lady's angry expression.

The old woman pointed at her and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Shut up! Do I have any say in this family anymore? You're just a mistress who rose to power; what right do you have to act so arrogantly in the Shen family?"

This wasn't the first time Xi Yuan had heard the term "mistress" from the old lady; it was the old lady who called her that after she got together with Shen Yu.

She didn't feel much about it. "Mom hates mistresses so much, why is she so nice to the one next to you?"

"An'an is carrying Chen Lin's child. Can it be the same as yours?"

Speaking of this, Xi Yuan narrowed her eyes, "Mom is wrong to say that. When I was with Shen Yu, I was also pregnant, but I never saw Mom give me a kind look."

The old woman said sarcastically, "Can your short-lived child compare to the baby in An'an's belly?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuan's expression finally changed.

Memories of the past resurfaced in her mind. She lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly. Back then, she was pregnant, but the child died of illness not long after birth. This matter had always been a pain in her heart. Shen Yu treated her very well because of this. Later, Shen Yu wanted to have another child, but she refused. She got along very well with the two brothers, Shen Lin and Shen Ting. As for whether or not they had a child, it wasn't that important.

But that doesn't mean she's not hurting. Now that the old lady is talking about her child like this, Xi Yuan is furious, but because of the old lady's status, she can't do anything about it.

Fortunately, sitting in the living room is someone as sensible as Shen Yu.

"Alright, Mom, why are you getting so worked up?" Shen Yu's voice was deep, with a hint of displeasure. "If you don't like staying in Nancheng, I'll send you abroad to recuperate."

"Chen Yu, what are you saying? I am your mother."

"It's only because you're my mother that I turn a blind eye to many things. If you keep making trouble, I'll go abroad after the Spring Festival."

Shen Yu said these words heavily, then stood up and said, "I have some other things to attend to, I'm leaving."

The old woman fell silent.

She knew about Shen Yu's methods, and now that Jiang An was pregnant, she couldn't leave Nancheng no matter what.

The fact that Ye Xinning couldn't get any benefits from Shen Yu doesn't mean the old lady will be kind to her.

She looked Ye Xinning up and down. "Recently, Shen Lin has been leaving early and coming home late. You, his wife, don't care at all. You probably don't even know when he goes to the company. You're not a good wife at all, yet you occupy the position of Shen Lin's wife."

Ye Xinning twitched her lips, raised her eyes, and spoke to the old lady, but her gaze was fixed on Jiang An.

"Whether I am competent or not is not up to Grandma to decide. If Grandma really can make the decision and get Shen Lin to say he wants a divorce, then naturally, the person Grandma likes can take over."

"What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you should treat an elder?"

Ye Xinning said calmly, "People should always respect each other. Whether my grandmother respects me or not determines whether I should respect her."

After she finished speaking, the old lady was so angry that she gasped for breath, and Ye Xinning looked away.

She had said long ago that she was not the kind of person who would suffer losses for no reason, but the old lady and Jiang An just kept making trouble for her.

After being rebuffed several times, the old lady finally quieted down.

Ye Xinning's phone rang at that moment; it was a call from the police station.

She picked up her phone and got up to answer the call.

It was a call from the police station; there was progress in her case.

Ye Xinning hung up the phone and said to Xi Yuan, "Aunt Xi, I have something to take care of and I have to go out for a bit."

"Hmm, do you need me to come with you?"

Ye Xinning declined, saying, "No need." She still didn't want to involve too many people.

After speaking with Xi Yuan, Ye Xinning drove to the police station.

She was greeted by the same policeman as before. "Ms. Ye, this is the statement from Chen Yong, the driver who caused the accident."

The police showed her the statement, and while she was reading it, the police officer said, "According to Chen Yong, he did not receive any instructions. The reason he tried to kill Ms. Ye was because Ms. Ye had handled a case, an economic case, and she won the case. The company involved in that case went bankrupt, and the boss couldn't bear the shock and jumped off a building. The driver who caused the accident, Chen Yong, is the brother of the man who jumped off the building. He believes that Ms. Ye caused his brother's suicide, so he caused this car accident."
