Ye Xiaoxiao's mysterious behavior aroused Ye Xinning's curiosity. "Well then, bring the person in first."
"OK."
Ye Xiaoxiao went out to bring people. Ye Xinning looked in the direction of the door, and after a while, Ye Xiaoxiao came in with people.
Ye Xinning looked at the person walking towards her, then stared in shock at the person in the distance, "What brings you here?"
"My daughter was being bullied, how could I not come?"
The middle-aged man in front of me smiled and spoke, his eyes full of gentle smiles. Who else could it be but Song Zhengchu?
Ye Xinning never expected that the person who came would be her father. She had no idea at all, and this surprise was really too big.
"Dad." Ye Xinning, still shocked, held Song Zhengchu's hand.
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to find that kid from the Shen family. I'll ask him what's going on. How dare he divorce my daughter? Who gave Shen Lin the guts?"
Upon hearing what Song Zhengchu said, Ye Xinning quickly replied, "Dad, my decision to divorce Shen Lin is my own; it has nothing to do with him."
Song Zhengchu, however, did not believe it at all. "How could you get a divorce? You like that boy from the Shen family so much, how could you bring up divorce yourself? That boy must have done something bad to you."
"No," Ye Xinning denied. Her relationship with Shen Lin was complicated and couldn't be explained in a few words. She didn't want to make it too complicated, nor was there any need to.
Song Zhengchu did not believe Ye Xinning's words. He insisted that Shen Lin had done something to make Ye Xinning want a divorce.
“I can handle this, honey. Don’t worry, Dad will definitely get justice for you.”
Ye Xinning shook her head helplessly. She explained her relationship with Shen Lin again, "Dad, marriage is something that can't be explained in a few words. Just like the beginning with you and my mother, I always thought you and my mother were loving, but then you suddenly divorced. It was all so unexpected. How could I have imagined it? The reason why Shen Lin and I have come to this point is simply because we are not meant to be together."
"There's no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. If you're good to him and he's not good to you, that's just wrong."
Ye Xinning wanted to say something, but Song Zhengchu said, "Alright, I'll take care of this. I said I'd help you get justice, and I mean it."
Ye Xinning had no choice but to temporarily set aside the question, "Dad, is there something important that you're coming back for? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
"It's nothing, I just have some work-related matters in Beicheng that I need to come over to handle."
North City?
Ye Xinning thought of someone, "Will Dad go to see Ji Jianshen when he goes to Beicheng this time?"
"I probably won't go. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "It's nothing, I just thought of it and asked."
Song Zhengchu said "Oh," and then said, "I don't really like Ji Jianshen in many ways, but considering he's helped you a few times, I'll try my best to help him if he gets any trouble in the future."
Ye Xinning couldn't understand. She lowered her head and asked, "Why doesn't Dad like Ji Jianshen? Ji Jianshen has always been very good to me and has helped me a lot. Why doesn't Dad like him?"
When Ye Xinning asked this question, she meant it sincerely. She had never been able to understand why someone like Ji Jianshen didn't receive a perfect score from her father. In her heart, Ji Jianshen was the best person ever.
“Everyone has things they like and dislike, which is normal and there’s no need for a huge reason,” Song Zhengchu said.
"Really?" Ye Xinning was still somewhat confused; she felt that something was amiss.
"Well, regarding your matter with Shen Lin, I'll personally go and talk to Shen Yu. I want to ask him properly what's wrong with my daughter that her son would do this."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Seeing that the topic had circled back to her and Shen Lin, Ye Xinning quickly changed the subject, "Is Dad going to see my mom this time he's back?"
“I’m not going.” Song Zhengchu’s answer came out in almost a second.
Ye Xinning lowered her head; at that moment, she felt a mix of emotions.
She lowered her head and asked Song Zhengchu, "Does Dad still... have any feelings for Mom?"
Song Zhengchu remained silent for a long time because of her question. As time passed, he spoke again, his voice cold, "It's all in the past between her and me."
"But if Dad really let go of what happened in the past, why did he choose to let me stay when he separated from Mom? If he wasn't worried that Mom would be sad if I left, why would Dad make that decision?"
Ye Xinning spoke one sentence after another, each sentence sounding very serious, but Song Zhengchu's demeanor remained unchanged. He told Ye Xinning, "The reason I chose to let you stay was because my condition at that time was not suitable for me to take you with me. Letting you stay was a decision I made after careful consideration."
Ye Xinning lowered her head, her eyes filled with complex and deep emotions. "Is that so? Maybe I'm overthinking it."
She thought that her father still had feelings for her mother no matter what, but now it seems that over the long years, her mother has changed, her father has changed, and everything is no longer the way she thought it was.
But this is for the best; forgetting the past is a new beginning for both of them.
"Let's go." Ye Xinning turned around, grabbed her bag and car keys, "I'll go have dinner with Dad, and then take him to my new home."
Song Zhengchu smiled broadly, "Let's go, we should go and see what you're missing, and I'll go and get it for you."
“I have everything I need, except people. If Dad is free, he can stay in Nancheng for a while longer, so we can spend more time together.”
"I'll check my work schedule. If I'm free, I'll stay in Nancheng for a few more days."
Ye Xinning was very satisfied with the answer. "Okay."
...
On the second day after Song Zhengchu arrived in Nancheng, he went to the Shen family. He originally intended to take Ye Xinning with him, but Ye Xinning had important work to do in the morning and could only promise Song Zhengchu that she would go to the Shen family to pick him up in the evening.
As for whether Ye Xinning really had something to do, or what caused the delay, Song Zhengchu didn't ask. Ye Xinning's promise to pick him up at the Shen family's gate was enough.
The Shen family.
Shen Yu and Song Zhengchu sat down facing each other.
