"When did you become so easily bullied after leaving me?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head slightly. She was so disheveled that she felt embarrassed even when she saw Shen Lin.
If the two met under normal circumstances, she had rehearsed her best smile to face him, or said to him, "Long time no see, Mr. Shen," or "How have you been, Mr. Shen?"
But given this situation, she really didn't know how to face Shen Lin.
Shen Lin's gaze remained fixed on her face.
She was covered in coffee, her face was pale and tired, and she couldn't even argue back against being treated so badly.
When he decided to divorce, he thought that Ye Xinning would definitely not live well without him. Without the status of Mrs. Shen, the pressure from the Ye family and the difficulties she would encounter at work would be much greater than before.
But when he actually saw her in trouble, he felt a surge of anger.
She was so resolute when she divorced him, but now that she's being bullied, why doesn't she know how to retaliate?
"Who are you? Let go of me!" the middle-aged woman, who was being held by Shen Lin, shouted, but was pulled back by Mr. Yao, who was sitting down.
"Shut up, have you made enough of a scene?" Mr. Yao first scolded in a low voice, then turned to look at Shen Lin and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, my wife is being unreasonable and has offended you." Although Mr. Yao didn't know why Shen Lin was here or why he was so angry, he had to apologize no matter what the reason was. Mr. Yao knew very well what kind of status Shen Lin had in Nancheng, and he couldn't afford to offend this man.
"Mr. Shen? What Mr. Shen? Who is this little vixen sitting across from you?"
Mrs. Yao, however, ignored the advice and pointed at Ye Xinning, questioning him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? She's a lawyer hired by the company to handle a debt dispute," Mr. Yao explained helplessly.
Mrs. Yao still didn't believe it. She looked at Ye Xinning and said something increasingly harsh, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're overjoyed because this woman is young and beautiful, aren't you? You shameless vixen, you're even interested in someone this old. Are all the men in the world dead?"
Ye Xinning was initially confused, but after hearing this, she roughly understood.
In summary, Mrs. Yao's attempt to catch her husband in the act of adultery was a misunderstanding, which led to her suffering this undeserved misfortune.
She didn't want to say much, so she took out her lawyer's license and her work ID. "Mrs. Yao, right? I am Ye Xinning, a lawyer at the law firm. Mrs. Yao, you should get to the bottom of this. Mr. Yao, didn't you want to change lawyers? Perfect, I don't want to take this case anymore. Please contact Director Xiao."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she gestured for Ye Xiaoxiao to take the things and leave. The two headed towards the restroom. She needed to take care of her clothes, otherwise, what would she look like going out like this?
Ever since Mr. Yao heard Ye Xinning say his name, he had been thinking that he seemed to have heard the name somewhere before...
Mr. Yao suddenly realized, looking at Shen Lin in front of him... The former Mrs. Shen was named Ye Xinning!
Upon realizing this, Mr. and Mrs. Yao's expressions changed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I didn't know, I..."
Mrs. Yao apologized, but Shen Lin's face was cold and icy.
"Mrs. Yao's shrewish behavior is truly...unbelievable."
"Mr. Shen, I..."
Shen Lin had nothing to say. Looking at Mr. Yao, he said, "Cooperating with a company like Mr. Yao was a misjudgment on my part, but it's good to correct it now."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he left only a cold, aloof back view for the Yao couple.
Mr. Yao looked at Mrs. Yao with annoyance and reproach, "Look what you've done! Mr. Shen is angry and won't cooperate with us anymore."
"What do you mean I did something wrong? Besides, why is Mr. Shen still protecting Ye Xinning even though we're divorced?"
Mr. Yao said irritably, "Who knows?"
He's only feeling sorry for his partnership with the Shen Group right now; it cost a lot of money.
...
On the other side, Ye Xinning was cleaning her clothes in the bathroom, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get the stains off. With no other option, she asked Ye Xiaoxiao to go to the mall upstairs to buy her a new outfit.
While Ye Xiaoxiao was on her way to buy clothes, Ye Xinning stood in the corridor with her head down, waiting.
When she heard footsteps, she didn't think much of it, assuming it was Ye Xiaoxiao returning.
"Why are you back so soon? I still..."
Her unfinished words came to an abrupt halt when she saw the man's cold, stern face.
Ye Xinning did not expect Shen Lin to follow her, and she did not expect him to appear when she was alone.
She didn't know what to say, and quickly lowered her head again.
"What, you're not as resolute as you were when you wanted a divorce?" A deep, mocking voice sounded from above.
Ye Xinning frowned slightly, and it took her a long time to speak, her face bearing a perfectly appropriate smile.
"Mr. Shen, what are you trying to prove by repeatedly mentioning my failed marriage with you? Tell me, are you reluctant to let go?"
Do you think it's possible?
Ye Xinning still smiled slightly, "I can't tell whether it's possible or not. Mr. Shen's repeated mentions inevitably make people think too much."
You're overthinking it.
"Hmm, I guess I was overthinking it. Mr. Chen, aren't you leaving yet?"
Such a clear order to leave caused Shen Lin's face to darken.
"You deserve to be bullied."
After saying that, Chen Lin left without looking back.
Ye Xinning stood still, finally finding peace and quiet, and took a deep breath.
Are all men this inexplicable? They clearly have no attachment to that marriage, yet they still come to her to assert their presence.
...
The meeting with Shen Lin did not have a significant impact on Ye Xinning. She changed into the clothes that Ye Xiaoxiao had bought for her and went back to the law firm with Ye Xiaoxiao.
On the way back, Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at her several times. Even if Ye Xinning was a simpleton, she knew that Shen Lin had something to say at this moment.
"Just say what you want to say, don't make me anxious."
"Hehehe." Ye Xiaoxiao chuckled dryly twice. "When I met my brother-in-law... no, my ex-brother-in-law, my sister didn't feel anything?"
Ye Xinning smiled faintly, "What kind of fluctuation do you think there should be?"
"My ex-husband! He's my ex-husband! Don't you feel sorry for him?" Ye Xiaoxiao said exaggeratedly.
"If I felt it was a pity, would I still get a divorce? That's a contradiction."
