"What does Miss mean?"
“Check the records of the people around my mother, as well as the medications she took and the information she received during the years I was away. I hope I’m just overthinking it.”
"Yes, miss."
...
The first thing Ye Xinning did after getting up the next morning was to call Ye Rouxin.
The call was answered quickly, "Hello, Ningning."
Ye Xinning asked in a low voice, "Are you still in the hospital?"
"No, I went home after you left last night. I don't like staying in the hospital."
"Are you alright?"
"It's alright, I brought the medicine back with me."
"Um."
Ye Xinning didn't say anything more after hearing this, but gave Ye Rouxin a few more instructions.
"I know everything. I'm your mother. Do you need to worry about me? Go and take care of your own things."
"Okay, I got it. That's all for now. I'm hanging up."
Ye Xinning hung up the phone.
Looking into the distance, she thought about Ye Rouxin, and then she realized that she had been busy with all sorts of things lately and hadn't paid attention to Ye Rouxin.
If she had been more observant, wouldn't she have noticed these things much sooner?
Whether these problems truly stemmed from work or life, or were due to other reasons, or perhaps someone close to her mother harbored ulterior motives, Ye Xinning didn't know.
But she thought that Aunt Wen would find out about this as soon as possible.
After having breakfast at home, Ye Xinning set off for the lawyer.
On her way to the law firm, Ye Xinning saw Shen Lin's car again.
She never expected that Shen Lin would be so persistent, following her like this for several days in a row.
She really couldn't understand what Shen Lin meant. Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin's car and made a decision in her heart, pulling her car over to the side of the road.
She sat in the car in silence for a while, then opened the door and got out. She walked to the car behind hers, Shen Lin's car, and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the car door opened, and the man's cold, stern face appeared before them.
Their eyes met, Ye Xinning pursed her lips, and asked, "What are you doing, Mr. Chen?"
"What do you mean, what do you mean?" Shen Lin asked, another rhetorical question.
Ye Xinning felt that this person was deliberately playing dumb. After following him for so many days, it couldn't all be a coincidence every day.
“Chen Lin, we are divorced and have no contact with each other. This really is meaningless.”
"I know we're divorced, I don't need you to remind me."
When Shen Lin said this, his eyes were cold, as if the person following her was not him.
Ye Xinning rubbed her forehead, her expression one of utter helplessness. She had no way to refute Shen Lin's actions.
"So, you won't listen to a single word I say, is that it?"
What do I need to hear?
Ye Xinning didn't say a word this time; she turned and left.
Let him go ahead and be with her; she didn't believe he could really find the time to follow her every day.
As Shen Lin sat in the car, watching her departing figure, his gaze grew even more profound.
...
When Ye Xinning arrived at the law firm, Xia Wan came to find her and said, "Prepare the materials for Mr. Yao's case for me."
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement.
Xia Wan looked down at her and said, "You can't even solve a simple case. Director Ye is really not worthy of the title."
Xia Wan's words were sarcastic, and Ye Xiaoxiao, who was busy at work, couldn't help but say, "Attorney Xia, that's not how it works. My sister's contributions to the legal profession can't be denied with just a few words from you."
"Really? Who knows whether she got those cases because of her own abilities or because of her status as Mrs. Shen?"
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore and rushed towards Xia Wan, "What are you saying? Can my sister's abilities be questioned?"
Ye Xinning quickly pulled Ye Xiaoxiao back, "Xiaoxiao."
Ye Xiaoxiao was unwilling to let Xia Wan take advantage of her like this, but Ye Xinning said, "I've prepared Mr. Yao's information for you. If Attorney Xia has nothing else to say, you can leave now."
Xia Wan left with a smug smile.
Ye Xinning asked Ye Xiaoxiao to organize the documents, but Ye Xiaoxiao angrily said, "My sister, they've come to bully us right here, are you still going to swallow your anger?"
“She is my colleague, and it’s normal for colleagues to have friction. I don’t confront her, not because I’m tolerant, but because I’m considering the overall situation of the law firm. Internal strife is something that the law firm absolutely cannot tolerate.”
"But she spoke so rudely."
"Just don't worry about it."
Ye Xiaoxiao was still very angry. Xia Wan had always been rude to Ye Xinning, and recently she had become even more rude. Ye Xiaoxiao murmured softly, "If you ask me, if my sister and brother-in-law hadn't divorced, Xia Wan wouldn't dare to treat my sister like this even if she had ten lives."
Ye Xinning frowned and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, "You're getting further and further off track."
"Is there anything wrong with what I said? That's just how it is."
"Alright, instead of wasting so much time talking, you should go and process Mr. Yao's case materials and give them to Xia Wan."
Ye Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing more.
In the evening, Ye Xiaoxiao went out to deliver some materials. Ye Xinning was about to go out to get a glass of water when she received a call from Xia Wan.
"Hello."
"Is something the matter?" Ye Xinning asked.
"I've met with Mr. Yao, but I don't have any documents on hand right now. Could you bring them to me?"
Ye Xinning frowned. "Now?"
"Um."
"Xiaoxiao isn't here. Can we wait for her to come back and deliver it?"
"If Ye Xiaoxiao isn't here, you can send it over. Anyway, you were alone before you didn't have an assistant."
Xia Wan paused briefly at this point, then added, "Besides, this is for the sake of the law firm. You wouldn't be unwilling, would you?"
Ye Xinning paused for a second, then smiled, her tone extremely calm, "Attorney Xia is joking. It's just a matter of sending a document; I'll send it to you right now."
"Then I'll have to trouble Director Ye."
After Xia Wan finished speaking and hung up the phone, Ye Xinning got up and started packing her documents.
Xia Wan sent over the address, and Ye Xinning glanced at it; it was Mingsheng.
Why would they be discussing work at Mingsheng? Ye Xinning was baffled and drove to Mingsheng.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Mingsheng, Ye Xinning parked the car and called Xia Wan.
"I've arrived. Come out and get your documents."
"I can't get away right now, could you bring it in for me?" Xia Wan said.
Ye Xinning frowned. "I don't want to go in."
"Seriously, Ye Xinning? You won't even help with such a small thing? Besides, this is a case in which everyone in the law firm is responsible."
Having said all that, Ye Xinning was already getting impatient.
"Okay, I'll take it in."
Ye Xinning hung up the phone, opened the car door, got out, and walked inside.
However, as soon as she stepped inside, she saw Chi Zhao, Shen Ting, and Shen Lin walking together, and Ye Xinning froze in her tracks.
So... when did this southern city become so small?
