With a cold glance from Shen Lin, Chi Zhao knew that this was almost certainly the case.
He smiled but didn't say anything.
He took out his phone and called Ye Xinning. The phone rang for a short while before the person on the other end answered. Her voice was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what her emotions were.
"Hey, Chi Zhao-ge."
"Hey, Ningning, where are you?"
"I'm at home, what's wrong?"
"Oh." Chi Zhao let out a long "oh," raising an eyebrow at Chen Lin, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Look, everyone answers my calls but not yours. Do you know what that means?
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you, isn't the Spring Festival coming up soon? Why don't you come out with Shen Lin and have a meal with us?" Chi Zhao said casually, his tone suggesting he already knew the answer.
When Shen Lin was mentioned, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Chi Zhao thought he should say something more, but before he could speak, he heard Ye Xinning say something on the other end of the phone.
"What is Chi Zhao trying to test me about by calling? Did he ask you to call? If I'm not mistaken, you two should be together now."
Chi Zhao fell silent. He hadn't expected Ye Xinning to be so perceptive, noticing something was amiss with just a few words.
"No, no, no." Although Ye Xinning had already seen through him, Chi Zhao still denied it. He couldn't just admit it so easily.
Ye Xinning remained silent, and Chi Zhao didn't know what to say either, so the two of them remained in an awkward silence.
Just as Chi Zhao was about to say something more, his phone was suddenly snatched away. He looked up and saw Shen Lin with a sullen face, talking to the person on the other end of the line.
"Ye Xinning, what do you mean? Have you blocked my number?"
Upon hearing Shen Lin's voice, Ye Xinning knew she had guessed correctly. She hung up the phone without saying anything.
Shen Lin waited for a long time, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't speak.
Just as he was about to speak again, the call was suddenly cut off.
That's right, it was cut off.
Seeing that the call had already been disconnected, Shen Lin was furious and pointed at the phone.
"What kind of attitude is this? He hung up on me and didn't want to say a single word to me?"
Chi Zhao rolled his eyes at him, "With your attitude, who would want to say a word to you? You're wrong but you won't admit it, and you're so arrogant."
“I’m wrong, where am I wrong? She’s the one who had a child with another man, she’s the one who kept so many things from me.”
"Regarding the child, I think you should investigate further. I always felt that Ye Xinning wasn't that kind of person; at least she showed that she loved you quite a bit."
Chi Zhao sat there and sincerely offered his opinions.
Shen Lin sat back down on the sofa, clasped his hands together, and looked deep into the distance.
"What you do is one thing, what you think in your heart is another."
Chi Zhao pursed his lips. "You mean she told you that child was yours?"
"Yes, it's surprising, isn't it? She can say something so absurd. I've only met her a handful of times before we got married, and that child happened five years ago. How could we possibly have any contact?"
"Don't forget that when you had that accident five years ago, there was indeed someone who saved you."
"I know that person is Ling Qingxue, but wasn't that a long time ago? Why bring it up again?"
"I think you should investigate this thoroughly. Ye Xinning isn't the type to lie, so there's no need for her to keep harping on this one point. Besides, you said it yourself: if this is really false, how absurd would that be? Do you think Ye Xinning is that stupid and brainless?"
Chi Zhao's words enlightened Shen Lin.
Shen Lin looked at him, his eyes half-closed. "You mean Ling Qingxue was speaking?"
Chi Zhao smiled but didn't say anything, his attitude was obvious.
Shen Lin's gaze deepened even more, concerning something that happened five years ago.
He did indeed have an accident that lasted for a long time. But the person who took care of him at that time was not Ye Xinning, but another woman.
That person's name is Ling Qingxue, and she is Li Zeya's ex-girlfriend.
A few years ago, Ling Qingxue had an accident.
They went abroad after that and never saw each other again.
Although they were each other's saviors, Ling Qingxue had never asked him for anything over the years.
At most, it was during her past relationship with Li Zeya that Ling Qingxue asked him for some help, but that's all in the past.
Ye Xinning keeps bringing up that matter.
Shen Lin had some doubts.
If, just if, is there any possibility that Ling Qingxue is lying?
It wasn't Ling Qingxue who saved him back then.
Shen Lin lowered his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't recall that long-buried memory no matter how hard he tried.
The more he tried to figure it out, the more his head ached.
In a very short time, his face had turned extremely pale.
Shen Ting noticed the change in his expression and quickly walked over to pat him on the shoulder.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
"fine."
Shen Lin shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it.
Regardless of the truth, we've already gotten to this point, so it's necessary to have someone investigate.
"I'll have Wenzhu investigate this matter."
"You'd better ask Ling Qingxue directly. If she really is lying, then what Ye Xinning said is very likely true. During the time you forgot, Ye Xinning might have been the one who was always with you."
