Shen Lin suddenly became curious about what kind of situation this woman would encounter to lose all her rationality and lower her head and put aside her proud nature.
"Ye Xinning".
He suddenly called her name.
Ye Xinning was frustrated because she couldn't get a taxi, and she didn't have much patience for him at that moment.
"Is there something you need, Mr. Shen?" "Please beg me, and I'll take you there."
Ye Xinning replied as if she had heard a joke, "Mr. Shen's beloved has gone abroad, has he lost his mind?"
She begged him?
She would rather spend an afternoon in the wind and lose a job opportunity than ask him for something so trivial.
Shen Lin's expression turned even uglier than before. "Ye Xinning."
"What, did I say something wrong? Mr. Shen has been acting strangely ever since Jiang An left. I suggest that Mr. Shen see a psychologist, so that he doesn't become abnormal before Jiang An even returns. That would be such a pity."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, ignoring Shen Lin's increasingly unpleasant expression.
As Shen Lin sat in the car, rolled up the window, and left, she left him with four words.
"Hopeless."
As the Lamborghini sped away, Ye Xinning stood by the roadside, his tension finally released.
She stared intently in the direction the car had gone, her gaze deep and thoughtful.
—Chen Lin, I once begged others for your sake, but later, a bloody lesson taught me that only when you are strong can you have confidence. Since then, I have told myself that I will never place my hopes on others again.
If she couldn't get a taxi, she would apologize to Xiao Chen; if she still couldn't get a taxi, she would give up on the case.
Life will always have some unpleasant moments, and she must learn to accept them.
Ye Xinning said this to himself.
She continued walking forward when a horn suddenly sounded behind her.
She turned around, and Chi Zhao leaned out of the car, smiling at her, "Ningning."
She exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chi Zhao!"
Where are you going?
"I need to go to the financial center, but I can't get a taxi."
She sounded a little embarrassed when she said that last sentence.
Chi Zhao waved to her.
"Get in the car, I really need to run some errands nearby, I can give you a ride on the way."
Since she ran into an acquaintance who was going the same way, Ye Xinning didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car.
On the way to their destination, Chi Zhao chatted with her, "Are you going there for work?"
"Um."
"Didn't you run into Chen Lin before I left?"
Upon hearing Shen Lin's name, Ye Xinning understood something.
No wonder I ran into them one after the other; they were together just now.
"I ran into him," she said truthfully. "But he wanted me to beg him before he would take me there, and when I didn't, he just drove off!"
"What, he wants you to beg him?"
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement.
Chi Zhao was speechless at Shen Lin.
While stubbornly denying it, she also called him to hint that Ye Xinning couldn't get a taxi on the street and asked him to give her a ride.
Sure enough, this person's thought process is extraordinary.
As Chi Zhao drove, he asked, "How have things been between you and Shen Lin lately?"
“Brother Chi Zhao sees him every day, so he should know our situation very well.”
Asking her at this point would be somewhat like making conversation out of nothing.
Chi Zhao awkwardly touched his nose. "I just wanted to hear what you think."
"My idea is to get a divorce, but he doesn't want to. Maybe Brother Chi Zhao can help me persuade him?"
"I really can't help you. This man's stubbornness is unmatched by ordinary people."
Ye Xinning smiled but didn't say anything.
Chi Zhao felt that he should say something on behalf of Shen Lin, that man who was so concerned with saving face that he suffered for it.
"Jiang An is gone, do you still want a divorce?"
"Does Brother Chi Zhao think that the only problem between me and Shen Lin is Jiang An?"
No, that's not it.
“When you wanted to marry him, I thought you must have accepted the relationship.”
Ye Xinning lowered her head and subconsciously touched the bracelet on her wrist again.
"I was ignorant before, but now I see things more clearly and dare not be so stubborn anymore."
At the traffic light intersection, Chi Zhao stopped his car.
Turning his head, he saw her touching the bracelet on her hand with a serious expression, and Chi Zhao asked casually.
"Is this bracelet on your wrist very special to you?"
Ye Xinning was slightly taken aback, not expecting Chi Zhao to notice this detail.
"Um."
"It seems like you've been wearing it ever since the first time I met you."
"Um."
She didn't want to say more.
Chi Zhao examined the bracelet; well, it was quite ordinary.
To these people who were used to seeing such things, it even seemed somewhat cheap. Yet, it was this very bracelet that Ye Xinning cherished so much, wearing it on her wrist for so many years without wanting to take it off.
He looked away and said casually, "Ningning, I think your bracelet is a bit old. I know a friend who deals in antiques. I'll bring you one or two pieces next time I see her, so you can exchange them."
Ye Xinning lowered her head and smiled faintly upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Chi Zhao-ge, but no need."
She spoke very politely, and Chi Zhao nodded intermittently. When she looked at the bracelet again, her gaze became more complicated than before.
As the car drove to the financial center, Ye Xinning packed her bag.
"Thank you, Brother Chi Zhao, for bringing me here. I'm so grateful for your help."
"It's no trouble at all."
"Then I'm leaving."
As she was about to get out of the car, Chi Zhao called out to her.
"Ningning."
"Hmm? Brother Chi Zhao, is there anything else?"
"Chen Lin is a bit of a scoundrel, and he's stubborn, domineering, and has a bad temper, but he's not a bad person at heart."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xinning smiled gently.
She paused for a few seconds, then said, "Whether he's with Jiang An or anything else, it's all because he doesn't love me. Perhaps to you it's a small thing, but to me it's different."
She phrased it tactfully, but Chi Zhao understood what she meant.
Ye Xinning is stubborn yet gentle, aloof yet mild-mannered. These contradictory qualities do not clash at all when applied to her. In other words, she is a special person in herself.
She has her own independent thoughts and opinions.
Watching Ye Xinning turn and leave, and thinking of Shen Lin, Chi Zhao sighed inwardly, "Go ahead and act recklessly. In the end, he'll regret it."
...
Ye Xinning saw Xiao Chen as she approached the coffee shop, and she walked over to him.
"Sorry I ran into some trouble on the way and I'm late."
Xiao Chen glanced at the documents and said nonchalantly, "It's alright. The client hasn't arrived yet. Sit down and rest for a while."
Ye Xinning sat down, and after that little incident, things went relatively smoothly.
They are discussing a child custody battle case, and the client is the child's mother, Ms. He.
