Ye Xinning felt annoyed when she heard this; only Xia Wan could come up with such a nonsensical idea.
“We have no relationship whatsoever. I’ve said it many times. If Attorney Xia has nothing else to say, please leave. I have work to do.”
Xia Wan knew perfectly well what this blatant order to leave meant.
She was furious. "Ye Xinning, don't be so arrogant. You've divorced Shen Lin. Do you think there are still many people in Nancheng who will respect you?"
Ye Xinning stopped talking to Xia Wan and continued working on her tasks with her head down.
Xia Wan left in a huff, and the office returned to silence.
Ye Xinning stopped what she was doing. Her head was throbbing. She rubbed her temples and thought of what Xia Wan had said.
So, once she left Chenlin in Nancheng, did she have nowhere else to go?
She smiled gently, no longer dwelling on it, and was still busy when the phone rang.
She picked up the phone and saw it was a call from the Ye family. She answered, "Hello."
"Where are you now?" Ye Xinning asked, holding the phone as Ye Rouxin spoke on the other end.
Ye Rouxin said angrily, "If I hadn't already found out about your affair with Shen Lin, when were you planning to tell me?"
Ye Xinning was taken aback, not expecting Ye Rouxin to find out so quickly. "Who told you?"
"Yanzhi, tell me, what nonsense are you spouting? Why do you want to divorce Shen Lin?"
Ye Xinning listened to Ye Rouxin's questioning on the phone, asking her why she and Shen Lin wanted to divorce.
In her mother's eyes, she was just being silly.
But what nonsense is this? Her mother has never understood her relationship with Shen Lin, nor has she ever considered things from her perspective.
I don't know how difficult her relationship with Shen Lin was, or how much torment she went through before making this choice.
“I can make my own decisions, Mom doesn’t need to worry. Mom can take care of her own affairs.”
Ye Xinning finished speaking calmly and prepared to hang up the phone.
Ye Rouxin's vicious voice came from the other end of the phone, "What use is it that I gave birth to you? You can't care about me at all. In your heart, am I not even as good as that woman Wen Yu?"
"Mom, Aunt Wen cares about me, cares about me, and helps me. Mom, what has Mom done for me?"
"I……"
Ye Rouxin was interrupted by Ye Xinning before she could finish speaking, "Mom won't. What Mom cares about most is whether this marriage of mine can bring you benefits. What Mom cares about is whether I, as your daughter, can fight for the greatest benefit for you. Whether I am happy, whether I am blessed, or whether I am wronged is not important to Mom, right?"
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she hung up the phone before Ye Rouxin could speak.
She never expected her mother to understand her, neither in the past nor now.
...
After divorcing Shen Lin, Ye Xinning lived a normal life, going to work on time and having Aunt Wen prepare meals for her when she returned home.
She also received a few scattered phone calls. Su Wan asked her if she wanted to come to Nancheng to keep her company, and Xi Yuan asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk with her to clear her mind.
Xiao Chen also asked her if she wanted to rest for a while and take a break.
Her father also called, asking if she needed to seek justice for her.
Ye Xinning's answer to all this concern was the same: no need.
There were many considerations behind divorcing Shen Lin.
She was unhappy when she was still married. Now that she's divorced, although she still feels some sadness, she's no longer as anxious and insecure as she was when she was married. Her daily life revolves around Chen Lin.
Ye Xinning has always known that her self-healing ability is not very good, but she is still willing to believe that sooner or later, she will be able to let go.
Even if you love someone deeply, one thing you should try is to gradually let go of them.
That day, Ye Xinning had a case to handle and needed to go to the development center, so Ye Xiaoxiao accompanied her.
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, the client, a middle-aged man, appeared somewhat disappointed to see her. "Didn't I say I wanted a highly qualified lawyer?"
Ye Xinning gestured to Ye Xiaoxiao, who then handed Ye Xinning's information to the client, saying, "Mr. Yao, take a look. This is our Director Ye's resume."
Mr. Yao refused to look at it at all, showing no patience and appearing very resistant. "I don't need to look at it anymore. I want to change lawyers. I don't trust you."
Ye Xiaoxiao's temper flared up immediately. "Mr. Yao, our Director Ye is one of the top figures in the law firm. You can't distrust our work ability just because we are young and women."
"Why do you talk so much, assistant lawyer? I said I wanted to change lawyers. If you're not willing, I'll change law firms. There are other law firms in the entire South City besides yours."
Mr. Yao was completely uncooperative, which infuriated Ye Xiaoxiao. Just as she was about to argue with Mr. Yao, Ye Xinning grabbed her hand and shook his head at her.
Ye Xinning opened her lips, looked at Mr. Yao, and her smile was still just right.
“Mr. Yao, I know you have many thoughts right now. Whether it's your distrust of me or your need to find a more capable lawyer, we can understand. Of course, we will fully cooperate with Mr. Yao's requests. However, it's a bit unreasonable for Mr. Yao to be so resistant on our first meeting. How about this, Mr. Yao, go back and learn more about it. We can talk about it another day. If Mr. Yao still needs to change lawyers, our law firm will make proper arrangements.”
Mr. Yao looked up, squinting at Ye Xinning, not expecting Ye Xinning to say that.
"That's all then, goodbye Mr. Yao."
Ye Xinning stood up from her seat as she spoke, but before she could take a step, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed over aggressively. The next second, a cup of coffee was splashed on Ye Xinning, and at the same time, the middle-aged woman's voice was cursing, "You shameless woman, you know you're a mistress, you have no shame, and you still dare to meet him like this."
As the woman spoke, she rushed forward to hit Ye Xinning.
But the next second, her raised hand was gripped tightly.
Ye Xinning lowered her head, her body a mess. She was about to argue with the woman for saying something nonsensical when she looked up, but what she saw next was the man's cold profile.
He was wearing a gray custom-made suit, one hand in his pocket, his hair was neatly combed, and his gaze remained as cold as ever.
Ye Xinning was completely stunned. She hadn't expected to see Shen Lin again under such circumstances. This was the first time she had seen Shen Lin since the divorce, but she never imagined it would be when she felt so pathetic.
Ye Xinning hung her head, feeling that everything was absolutely terrible.
Just as she was filled with mixed emotions, Shen Lin's deep voice rang in her ears.
