Ye Xinning didn't want to become a tattletale, so after thinking about it, she kindly helped Shen Lin cover for himself.
“He received a work-related call last night, probably about something at work.”
Shen Yu snorted coldly.
"You're still kindly covering for him, how could I not know? He went to that bastard again last night."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Well, Shen Yu isn't stupid; she can easily see that.
She remained silent, which made Shen Yu extremely angry. "This is getting more and more outrageous."
Shen Ting tried to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she heard a sound coming from the doorway.
The group looked over and saw that it was Shen Lin, who had not returned home all night.
"Brother's back! Come and have breakfast."
Shen Lin walked over and sat down next to Ye Xinning. He then looked at Shen Yu with a sullen face.
He pretended not to see it, picked up his utensils, and started eating breakfast.
Where did you go last night?
"Does Dad even have to control where I go?"
"They're all married people, how can they stay out all night? It's not right."
"I stay out all night all the time, does Dad have to interfere every time?"
Hearing this, Ye Xinning managed a weak smile.
Indeed, Shen Lin often stayed out all night; otherwise, how could Jiang An have gotten pregnant?
Just as Shen Yu was about to get angry, Xi Yuan spoke up in time.
"Ningning, I forgot to tell you, your mother said last night that you and Shen Lin should go back to the Ye family for dinner tonight."
"Go back to the Ye family for dinner?" Ye Xinning frowned.
"It would be good to go back to the Ye family for dinner. You haven't been back for a long time due to all sorts of things that have happened," Shen Yu said, and the matter was settled.
If Ye Rouxin calls her privately, she will definitely choose not to answer if she doesn't feel like it, based on her own feelings.
Knowing what she was thinking, Ye Rouxin chose to come to the Shen family to say that this way, she would have no choice but to go back.
"Okay, I understand, Dad, Aunt Xi."
"I asked your Aunt Xi to prepare some gifts. Take them with you as a way of expressing our apology for the mess Shen Lin has made during this time."
Shen Yu was always the most thoughtful, and Ye Xinning could only nod and thank him; there seemed to be nothing more to say.
After breakfast, Shen Yu called Shen Lin to the study, presumably to say something.
After they went upstairs, Ye Xinning prepared to go to the law firm.
Just as Shen Ting was about to leave, she offered, "Is it convenient for you, Shen Ting, to take me to the law firm?"
"Isn't sister-in-law waiting for brother?"
Ye Xinning smiled gently, "Do you think he'll give it to me?"
Shen Ting, “…”
"Of course, if it's not on your way, I can have my driver take you, but that would be a bit of a hassle."
Having said all that, how could Shen Ting refuse?
We're family, so it's fine to deliver it on purpose, let alone if it's just passing by.
However, this was something that Shen Lin should have done, and it felt somewhat strange to have him do it.
Seeing that Shen Ting agreed, Ye Xinning smiled and thanked him, "Then let's go."
...
Upstairs study.
Shen Lin stood in front of the desk, while Shen Yu was giving him a long lecture.
"You're a married man, can't you be more mature?"
"So, not coming home for one night means you're unreliable?"
Shen Yu said unhappily, "She is your wife, and you are the one who made the mistake. If you had been a little gentler and more sincere, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
As Shen Lin thought of what Ye Xinning had said last night, he lowered his eyes, looking indifferent.
"We can handle our own affairs; you don't need to worry about them."
"You can handle it yourself? If you could handle it yourself, you wouldn't have let another woman get pregnant with your child."
Upon hearing Shen Yu's words, Shen Lin suddenly laughed.
Shen Yu was displeased. "I'm talking to you very seriously. What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just found it interesting." Shen Lin's tone was low. "What gives Dad, a man who has been married three times and had three wives, the right to offer me marriage advice?"
Shen Lin's casual remark touched a nerve with Shen Yu, who grabbed a book and threw it at Shen Lin.
Shen Lin didn't dodge and took the hit squarely.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Shen Lin? Let me tell you, although I have been through several marriages, I have a clear conscience when it comes to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's gaze turned cold.
"Are you saying that letting me inherit the Shen family business means I can have a clear conscience?"
"I've given you the best education and the greatest autonomy. What more do you want?"
"Stop interfering in my affairs."
After finishing speaking, Shen Lin turned and walked out of the study.
Shen Yu watched his departing figure, feeling angry yet helpless.
...
As Chen Lin went downstairs, only Xi Yuan was in the living room.
Seeing him come down, Xi Yuan said gently, "Are you done talking?"
Shen Lin hummed in agreement, glanced around, and didn't see anyone.
Xi Yuan noticed his unusual behavior and said knowingly, "Are you looking for Ningning? Her car was taken for maintenance, and she just left with Shen Ting in a car."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin frowned slightly, but said, "Aunt Xi has misunderstood. I am not looking for her."
"But……"
"Okay, I'm going to the company now."
After finishing speaking, Shen Lin strode towards the door.
Xi Yuan stood there, watching his departing figure, and shook her head helplessly.
Was he looking around just now not looking for someone, but rather taking a look at the living room's decor style that he sees every day?
...
In the afternoon, Ye Xinning got off work and felt irritable thinking about having to go back to the Ye family home for dinner.
Xiao Chen came to get some documents from her. Seeing that she was dawdling and unwilling to leave, he chuckled and teased, "What's wrong? Don't want to leave after get off work? Want to work overtime?"
"Is that okay?" Her eyes lit up; now she had a legitimate reason not to go back to the Ye family home while working overtime.
Xiao Chen glanced at her and said, "No."
"I knew it, you're such a boss. Other bosses would love for their employees to work overtime."
"Adjust appropriately."
Xiao Chen gave her two words, then pointed out the window, indicating that Ye Xinning should look outside.
Ye Xinning looked outside and was immediately struck by Shen Lin's car.
"Hurry up, if his car stays parked at the door any longer, I doubt anyone in the office will be able to work properly."
Xiao Chen is gone.
Ye Xinning didn't know why Shen Lin had suddenly come to the law firm, but considering Xiao Chen's words, she quickly packed her things, grabbed her bag, and left the firm.
She walked out of the law firm and came to Chen Lin's car. Wen Zhu got out of the car and opened the door for her.
"Madam, please."
Ye Xinning's gaze fell on the man in the car who was looking down at documents.
I hesitated for a second, then sat down.
"Why did you come all of a sudden?"
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out; clearly, the man completely ignored her.
She frowned, about to say something more, when the man spoke.
"You actually managed to stay in this law firm?"
