Ye Xinning hung up the phone without saying a word.
Ye Rouxin never truly realized the nature of her relationship with Huo Yanzhi.
If she could, she would rather have no contact with Huo Yanzhi for the rest of her life.
But her mother always felt that she was deliberately clinging to Huo Yanzhi.
After she hung up the phone, Su Wan asked her, "What's wrong? I heard you say that Jiang An went abroad."
Ye Xinning pursed her red lips. "Yes, my mother thinks that this was done by Shen Lin's father."
"Jiang An has left Nancheng, so what are your plans next?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips. "I might need to meet with Shen Lin first."
She wanted to know what Shen Lin was thinking, and she also wanted to know why Shen Lin would let Jiang An leave.
"Then you should go back and find Shen Lin first. This is such a big matter, you probably can't sit still. Let's reschedule for another day."
"Alright."
After parting ways with Su Wan, Ye Xinning called Shen Lin.
The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just as she was wondering where Shen Lin was, her phone, which was on her lap, rang again.
She picked it up and glanced at it; it was Shen Yu.
"Hello, Dad."
"Ningning, come back here."
Ye Xinning didn't ask any further questions, only replying softly, "Okay."
She returned to the Shen family home, and as soon as she reached the door, a servant said to her, "Young Madam, you're back."
As Ye Xinning walked inside, she asked, "Is Chen Lin at home?"
"Yes, young master. The second young master is home. Please come in."
Has Shen Ting returned too? Ye Xinning walked in with a question in her mind.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Shen Lin standing there, and in front of him was Shen Yu holding a whip, looking furious.
Ye Xinning was taken aback by this scene. She stood there, stunned, unable to process what was happening.
The first person to see her was Shen Ting. Shen Ting quickly came to her and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back. Please try to persuade Dad. My brother has already been whipped several times."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and remained silent.
The Shen family has strict family rules, and this is the second time Ye Xinning has seen Shen Yu use them. The last time was when Shen Ting went to Switzerland against the wishes of everyone in the Shen family, for the sake of Su Wan's sister, Su Xiangsi.
Now, seeing Shen Yu angry again, the target has changed to Shen Lin.
"Dad." She walked over and spoke respectfully.
When Shen Yu saw her return, she looked at Shen Lin.
“Now that Ningning is back, what do you say?”
"say what?"
Shen Lin spoke lightly, his expression even colder than before.
Although he was injured by Shen Yu, he still gave people a sense of oppression when he spoke.
"He said he would break off all ties with that woman and that he would live a good life with Ningning."
Shen Lin's thin lips curled into a cold smile.
"Dad, are you mistaken? It's not me who wants a divorce, it's her. She's the one who can't wait to find another man."
"If you hadn't been entangled with other women, Ningning wouldn't have wanted a divorce. Even now, you're still twisting the truth."
In his rage, Shen Yu finished speaking and lashed out at Shen Lin with his whip again.
"You've already sent them away, what's the point of saying all this now?"
Shen Yu was so angry with Shen Lin that he was about to raise the whip again.
Ye Xinning, who had been standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She stopped Shen Yu and said calmly, "Dad, that's enough."
Shen Yu turned to look at her, "Ningning, I know you're very angry about this, but Jiang An has already left Nancheng, and I've already taught Shen Lin a lesson. Just give him another chance this time. You two should live your lives well. If he dares to do something like this again in the future, I will be the first to stand up for you."
Shen Yu gave a series of instructions and scolded Shen Lin a few times before going upstairs with Xi Yuan.
Shen Ting helped Shen Lin up and asked worriedly, "Brother, are you alright?"
Shen Lin pushed him away and walked step by step to Ye Xinning's side, his words full of sarcasm, "Well, are you satisfied now?"
Ye Xinning looked at him, puzzled. "What am I satisfied with?"
"By forcing Jiang An away and getting my father to intervene, no one can threaten your status as Mrs. Shen now."
Ye Xinning was taken aback. "Is this how you think of me?"
"You went to great lengths, making a scene about divorce and acting all wronged. Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Now you've got what you wanted."
"So in your opinion, my desire for a divorce is just a pretense, just to get rid of Jiang An?" Ye Xinning said each word with great difficulty.
Her heart sank. The people she had treated with sincerity had never believed her once.
Even if she was heartbroken and wanted a divorce, he thought she was just putting on an act and deliberately setting these things to solidify her position as Mrs. Shen.
She closed her eyes, overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness.
Shen Lin leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Actually, you didn't have to do all this. I wouldn't agree to a divorce even if you wanted one. Ye Xinning, if I can't have the one I love, you can't have one either. We're locked in a life-or-death struggle."
After finishing speaking, Shen Lin turned and walked outside.
Shen Ting stood there awkwardly, "Brother, where are you going? Aren't you going to treat your injuries?"
"What's the point of dealing with it? Keeping it will make me remember tonight even more."
Shen Ting looked at Ye Xinning and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, my brother is being irrational. Please don't take it to heart. He's injured. I'll go check on him."
Shen Ting left in a hurry, while Ye Xinning stood there, quietly thinking about everything.
She really is asking for trouble.
So why did you marry Shen Lin in the first place?
Ye Xinning returned to her bedroom, stood on the balcony, looking at the boundless night, and dialed a phone number.
The call was answered quickly, and a woman's voice came from the other end.
"Miss Ye."
"Could you please help me investigate someone?"
"Miss Ye, please speak."
"Jiang An, I'll send you the details later. I need to know where she is and who's with her."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning rubbed her temples. Jiang An had been sent away by Shen Yu. If she wasn't mistaken, Shen Lin shouldn't know about that place.
Shen Yu was determined to let Jiang An leave so that Shen Lin wouldn't find out, even though the chances of her finding out were extremely slim, she still wanted to try.
Shen Yu was doing this for her own good, but she overlooked the fact that her relationship with Shen Lin was never solely due to Jiang An.
Sending Jiang An away doesn't mean she and Shen Lin can live together. Moreover, no matter where Jiang An is, it doesn't change the fact that the child in her belly is Shen Lin's, nor does it change the fact that Shen Lin loves Jiang An, not her.
After Shen Yu saw Jiang An off, Shen Lin misunderstood her and became even more unwilling to divorce her.
