After the conversation ended, Ms. He looked at them and said, "I'll leave this matter to you two."
"Miss He, you're too kind. This is what we should do, and I believe you will get what you want," Xiao Chen said confidently.
Ye Xinning saw that Miss He's eyes lit up when she heard Xiao Chen's words.
"Is it really possible? Will I really be able to get custody of my child smoothly?"
“Ms. He’s husband is at fault. He had an extramarital affair and also accidentally let their child eat an allergenic food. These conditions alone are enough to make him lose his advantage in the court proceedings.”
Xiao Chen's words reassured Miss He, and before leaving, she shook hands with both Xiao Chen and Ye Xinning.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two."
"Miss He, you're too kind. Goodbye."
After watching the person leave, Xiao Chen turned his gaze back to Ye Xinning.
"What's wrong? You seem down. Are you unhappy?"
"It's nothing," she replied listlessly.
Xiao Chen laughed, "This doesn't seem like anything's wrong. Is it because of Miss He's matter that you're thinking about yourself?"
Ye Xinning sighed and said, "I can't hide it from you after all. I was just wondering, if I were to sue her, what are my chances of winning?"
"Is that the truth?"
"I asked because I wanted to hear the truth."
"If that person isn't Shen Lin, then I can tell you I'm 100% sure. But, you know, a lot of the time, there are too many other things involved."
Ye Xinning had already anticipated this outcome, and she had only casually asked, "It seems that I really can't get a divorce."
Her words carried a hint of self-mockery.
"Actually, if Shen Lin were willing to get a divorce, everything would be easily resolved."
The problem is, Shen Lin doesn't want a divorce.
She sighed softly to herself.
"Alright, let's go, I'll take you home."
"You don't need to take me. I'll have the driver pick me up." She didn't want to trouble Xiao Chen.
"Why are you being so polite with me? If you really feel bad, bring me a cup of coffee when you come to the company tomorrow morning. That will settle things even."
Ye Xinning remained standing in place, while Xiao Chen had already started walking towards the parking lot, so Ye Xinning had no choice but to follow.
Xiao Chen is a very tactful person. The two of them have worked together at the law firm for so long, and their relationship is relatively relaxed and comfortable. They are in a superior-subordinate relationship, but also friends.
Along the way, Xiao Chen chatted with her intermittently, mostly about the progress of the cases she was handling.
Another thing is the business trip next week.
The car stopped in front of the Shen family's house, and Ye Xinning thanked them again.
"I said, thank you sincerely, don't forget my coffee tomorrow."
Seeing his reaction, Ye Xinning stopped being coy and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely bring you coffee tomorrow morning."
Xiao Chen waved his hand.
"Alright, go in."
"Goodbye then, drive carefully on the road."
"Um."
Xiao Chen started the car and drove away. Ye Xinning stood there, watching his car leave and disappear from sight out of politeness, before turning around and walking towards the gate behind her.
Little did she know, everything that happened after she and Xiao Chen appeared at the Shen family's door was being observed by the man on the second-floor balcony...
Ye Xinning walked into the living room, where only Xi Yuan was painting.
Upon seeing her return, Xi Yuan put down her drawing board.
"Ningning is back."
"Yes, Aunt Xi."
"Your mother just came by and brought you some things."
As Xi Yuan spoke, he handed her a gift box that was placed beside him.
Ye Xinning recognized it as a set from a famous brand.
She opened it and glanced at it; it was the latest jewelry set, quite valuable.
She pursed her lips, smiling inwardly. Her mother really liked to express her guilt in this way.
Knowing that she wanted a divorce, she still had Shen Yu send Jiang An away to stabilize her marriage with Shen Lin. She clearly knew that she was unhappy, but she still gave her a gift in such a casual way. Did she think that this would make her happy?
She closed the gift box and asked Xi Yuan, "Did she come to see me because she wanted to say something?"
"No, I'm here to talk to your father about work."
Xi Yuan blurted out, noticing the dimming light in Ye Xinning's eyes. She realized what she meant and said, "Of course, Ningning, your mother definitely wanted to see you when she came. Besides, she brought you a gift because she was thinking of you. I saw the gift; it's a limited edition, and I bet you're the only one of its kind in the entire South City."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Xi. I'll go upstairs now."
Xi Yuan took her hand and glanced upstairs. Ye Xinning instantly understood what she meant.
"Chen Lin is back?"
"Yes, it's in your bedroom. Go up there and talk things out. Jiang An has left Nancheng. You two can talk it over. Some things can be resolved through communication."
"Um."
Ye Xinning replied casually, "Actually, the problem between her and Shen Lin is not something that can be solved by simple communication."
But none of them thought it was a problem.
...
Ye Xinning went upstairs and opened the bedroom door.
The bedroom lights were off, so she assumed Shen Lin had gone to sleep and went straight to the coat rack to get her clothes.
"Mrs. Shen's day is truly eventful."
The sudden male voice made her pause.
Turning around, I saw Shen Lin standing at the door of the dressing room, his jawline sharply defined, his eyes gleaming with a cold, eerie light.
She put down the clothes she was holding, crossed her arms, and looked him over.
"Is Mr. Shen so free? Why does he have to be so concerned about my life?"
Shen Lin walked closer and closer to her.
Ye Xinning reached out and stopped him in front of her.
"What is Mr. Shen trying to do?"
Shen Lin propped himself up on his hands in front of her, "Who was that man just now?"
"Who is this person and what is their relationship with Mr. Shen?"
Her defiant look made Shen Lin place his hand on her chin, pinching it until her fair skin turned red.
"Don't forget who you are."
"My identity? Mrs. Shen?"
"As long as I don't sign the divorce papers, you are..."
Ye Xinning continued, "Then what would it take for you to agree to a divorce?"
"You want me to get a divorce?"
"Um."
"impossible."
Ye Xinning knew that.
She tried to push him away, but Chen Lin remained motionless in front of her.
Faced with an absolute innate advantage, her skills were completely ineffective against Shen Lin, so she simply gave up.
"You still haven't told me who that man is?"
"Xiao Chen, my boss, are you satisfied now?" Ye Xinning said defiantly.
"He likes you?"
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin in surprise, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't use your filthy thoughts to judge others. Xiao Chen and I have nothing going on."
