Su Wan said meaningfully, "You'll have to ask him about that."
Ye Xinning nodded.
Things have been too chaotic lately. Once she and Shen Lin have sorted things out, she has to go to Nancheng at least once. Regardless of whether he agrees to see her or not, she can't just go directly to him and expect him to kick her out when she arrives.
She and he had a relationship like family, and she shouldn't keep avoiding him like this.
...
While Ye Xinning and Su Wan were meeting and chatting about their lives, offering each other comfort and encouragement, Ye Xiangsi was on the phone with a man.
The person on the other end of the phone was Xiang Yu, Xiang Wange's younger brother, the man who had once been tormented by illness but later, with the help of the Su family, managed to take back the Xiangshi Group.
"My sister told me you went to Nancheng with Sister Wanwan?" Xiang Yu's voice came through the phone, deep and mellow, completely different from when we first met.
"Yeah, I'm here to take care of some things," Su Xiangsi said casually.
"What is it?" Xiang Yu asked again.
Su Xiangsi frowned. "Xiang Yu, aren't you... asking a bit too many questions?"
Xiang Yu paused for a second, then stopped.
"Did you go see him?" They both knew who "he" referred to.
Su Xiangsi raised her head, about to say no, but the figure that caught her eye made her words stop abruptly.
She froze, momentarily forgetting what kind of reaction would be appropriate.
It was only when Xiang Yu's voice rang out again that she was brought back to her senses.
"What’s wrong with you!"
Su Xiangsi hurriedly said to the person on the other end of the phone, "It's nothing, I have something to do here, I'll talk to you later."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Xiang Yu could say anything, and then strode away in the opposite direction from the man, her panic clearly visible in her steps.
But she hadn't taken more than a few steps when someone grabbed her wrist, and the next second, a man's unique clear voice, deep in her memory, rang out.
Where are you going to hide?!
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Su Xiangsi had no choice but to accept her fate.
She stopped, turned around, and looked at Shen Ting in front of her.
She couldn't even remember the last time she saw Shen Ting, but she felt that the person standing in front of her now had the same smile she remembered. Shen Ting was the most beautiful person Su Xiangsi had ever seen when she smiled, with two shallow dimples on her face and that particularly distinctive little tiger tooth.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Su Xiangsi had once thought she had long forgotten those unimportant things, but the sudden encounter with Shen Ting made her feel that same feeling again.
It took her a long time to sort out her thoughts.
"I wasn't hiding. I didn't see you just now. Long time no see, Chen Ting."
She pretended to be generous, but Shen Ting bluntly exposed her, saying, "Your smile is stiff, it's uglier than not smiling at all."
Su Xiangsi, "..."
She lowered her head awkwardly. When they met again, she found that she didn't seem quite comfortable facing Shen Ting.
"When did you come to Nancheng?" What is the purpose of your visit? Is it possible that she is still thinking about him too? Shen Ting looked at Su Xiangsi with anticipation in her heart.
"I came with my sister for work."
Su Xiangsi's words disappointed him.
He gave a cold laugh. "Is that so?"
Su Xiangsi didn't know what to say at this moment, so she remained silent.
Shen Ting was very angry. He was never one to stop short of a point. Even though Su Xiangsi remained silent, he still insisted on getting an answer.
“If we hadn’t met here, would you have gone to find me, or even pretended that you never came here?”
Su Xiangsi pursed her lips several times, but in the end, she said nothing.
What she said, Shen Ting wouldn't want to hear.
The longer she remained silent, the more painful it became for the listener.
"So, I was right after all. You never thought of coming to find me. Well, Su Xiangsi, that's good."
After saying this with red eyes, Shen Ting turned and left without lingering for a moment.
When Ye Xinning came out of the restaurant, what she saw was Shen Ting turning and leaving.
She felt stuffy in the restaurant and wanted to come out for some fresh air with Su Wan, but she didn't expect to see Shen Ting here.
So, Shen Ting met with Su Xiangsi?
Ye Xinning looked at Su Xiangsi expectantly, wondering if the two had said anything.
Su Xiangsi merely forced a smile, saying, "Sister, Sister Xinning, let's go in and eat."
Su Wan was still worried about her younger sister, and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"
Su Xiangsi forced a smile, but it looked more like a grimace. "It's nothing."
Su Wan and Ye Xinning exchanged a glance. Neither of them mentioned Chen Ting. When it comes to relationships, only the person experiencing it truly knows. Although they were experienced, they couldn't really say anything about it.
...
While Ye Xinning was having dinner with Su Wan and Su Xiangsi, an uninvited guest arrived at the Ye family home.
Huo Yanzhi looked at Shen Lin, who was sitting upright on the sofa, and the corners of his lips curled up.
He had never expected Shen Lin to come to the Ye family, and what he didn't expect was that Shen Lin would specifically ask to see him as soon as he arrived.
Everyone left the living room, leaving only the two of them. Huo Yanzhi narrowed his eyes.
So what is the purpose of your visit this time?
"Mr. Shen, what brings you here?"
"Did you know that Ningning almost got into a car accident a couple of days ago?" Shen Lin asked, his voice as cold as ever.
Huo Yanzhi, who had been sitting calmly on the sofa, immediately sat up straight upon hearing this. "What did you say? Ningning was in a car accident?"
He had no idea when or why this happened.
"On the anniversary of her grandfather's death, she was almost hit by a car as she came out of the cemetery."
Huo Yanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Lin, as if he understood why Shen Lin had come to the Ye family and why he wanted to talk to him alone.
"Do you suspect me, or do you suspect my brother?"
"You will hurt everyone around her, but you will never hurt her, because you love her."
Huo Yanzhi suddenly felt a little ironic, "You can see my feelings for her, but she has always been indifferent to them."
Shen Lin came here not to hear Huo Yanzhi express how deep her feelings for Ye Xinning were; he just wanted the truth.
"Did your brother do it?"
Huo Yanzhi lowered his head, his eyes hidden in the shadows, and said casually, "If President Shen wants to know, he can investigate it himself. Why are you asking me? Do I need to tell you?"
"Huo Yanzhi, do I need to tell you? Ningning almost died in that car accident."
"That sounds somewhat ridiculous. Well then, let me ask you this: where were you when she had that accident?"
