After waking up from a nap, Ye Xinning ate with Aunt Wen and then put on her coat.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Wen asked, "Is Miss going out?"
Ye Xinning nodded, "I've been in France for so many days, and I didn't know how my mother was doing. Now that I'm back, I should visit her as soon as possible."
Upon hearing Ye Xinning say that she was going to visit Ye Rouxin, Aunt Wen paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go with Miss."
Ye Xinning refused, "I can go by myself, there won't be any problems. Aunt Wen, I know you seem fine on the surface, but you must be feeling very uncomfortable with my mother. I won't make things difficult for you."
Aunt Wen wanted to say something, but Ye Xinning held her hand without saying anything more. They both understood perfectly what she meant.
Wen Yu did not go with them in the end, and Ye Xinning drove to the Ye family alone.
The car stopped in front of the Ye family's house. Ye Xinning opened the car door and got out. Just as she reached the door, she heard a conversation coming from inside. She turned her head to look at the maid, puzzled. "Are there guests at home? Why is it so lively?"
"Yes, Assistant Xia brought several important senior executives to the house to discuss work matters with Chairman Ye."
"Why would you bring company work home to discuss it?"
"Chairman Ye is not feeling well and has not been to the company these past few days."
Upon hearing the maid say that Ye Rouxin wasn't feeling well, Ye Xinning panicked, "What happened?"
“Chairman Ye has been feeling unwell lately. Three days ago, he almost fell down the stairs again.”
I tumbled down the stairs again...
Ye Xinning's heart was in her throat. She didn't have time to say much to the maid and quickly walked into the living room.
In the living room, Xia He led the senior executives to report to Ye Rouxin one by one. Ye Rouxin was seen rubbing her temples, her expression clearly showing fatigue.
Even though she was exhausted, Ye Rouxin still forced herself to stay awake and listen to the person in front of her report on their work.
Seeing how hard Ye Rouxin was working, Ye Xinning felt a mix of emotions.
Now, only Ye Rouxin is holding the Ye Group together. Sometimes he wonders if things would have turned out differently if she hadn't insisted on choosing law and instead returned to the Ye Group to help Ye Rouxin.
Ye Xinning stood there, his mind wandering unconsciously.
It wasn't until everyone in the living room saw her arrival and looked in her direction that she finally came into view.
"Ningning." Ye Rouxin called out her name, and Ye Xinning pulled herself out of her reverie and gave a perfectly timed smile.
"Yes, Mom."
She walked over and sat down next to Ye Rouxin.
"When did you get back? Have you finished your work?"
"Yeah, I've finished taking care of it. I came back today, and since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd come and see you, but you seem pretty busy."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, her gaze fell on the other people present, and finally settled on Xia He.
Ye Xinning looked at Xia He, who nodded to her. Then, she stood up from her seat, looked at her, and said, "Miss and Chairman Ye haven't seen each other for several days. You must have a lot to talk about. We'll take our leave now, and we can discuss the rest another day. Chairman Ye, is that alright?"
"Alright, you can go back first and send me the details of the plan. I'll get back to you after I've reviewed it."
"Yes, Chairman Ye." Xia He and her entourage prepared to leave.
Ye Xinning spoke up at this moment, "I'll see Assistant Xia out."
Xia He paused noticeably, then said politely, "You're too kind, Miss. I can leave by myself. It's not proper for you to see me off."
"We're about the same age. You've helped my mother so much over the years, so you don't need to be so polite to me. Let's go, I'll see Assistant Xia off. Perfect timing, I have some questions I need to ask Assistant Xia."
Ye Xinning has already said all this, so if Xia He were to refuse again, it would be rather ungrateful.
"Miss Ye, please."
The two walked outside together. Ye Xinning's pace was slow, and Xia He didn't speak first, waiting for Ye Xinning to break the silence.
"Assistant Xia has been with the Ye Group for many years now."
"It has indeed been many years."
"That's right. We've known each other for so long, but I haven't really gotten to know Assistant Xia properly yet. Where is Assistant Xia from? Does he have any other relatives?"
“I don’t have many relatives. My home is in Nancheng, but before I joined the Ye Group, I lived in France. Strictly speaking, Nancheng is no longer home for me.”
"In that case, may I ask Assistant Xia why you suddenly decided to return to Nancheng when you were living a good life in France?"
"I have some personal matters to attend to."
"So why did you join the Ye Group?"
Xia He's smile was so perfect that no one could find fault with it. "It was just the right time. I am very grateful to the Ye Group for giving me this opportunity, and I am also very grateful to Chairman Ye for seeing me."
Ye Xinning gazed into the distance, his eyes narrowed, his gaze deep. Not a single word Xia He had said could be wrong, yet this flawless answer made Ye Xinning's thoughts gradually sink.
"Xia He." She called Xia He's name softly.
"Miss Ye, please speak."
"I've always been indifferent to emotions, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate others hurting the people I care about. Once I've made up my mind about something, I will do what I want to do without hesitation."
"Ms. Ye is fortunate to have Miss Ye by her side."
"I also hope that your appearance will not betray my mother's trust."
"Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Ye."
Having reached this point, Ye Xinning still couldn't get any other useful information from Xia He, so she knew that continuing the conversation would be pointless.
"I'll leave you here. Take care, Assistant Xia."
"Okay, Miss Ye."
Ye Xinning nodded slightly, then stopped talking and turned to leave.
Xia He stood there, watching her figure disappear little by little, her gaze shifting from politeness and courtesy to one filled with endless indifference and coldness.
Xia He stared at the direction where Ye Xinning disappeared for a long time. When she looked away again, she lowered her head, dialed a number, and walked while waiting for the person on the other end of the line to answer.
The call was answered quickly, and a cold, deep voice came through, "What is it?"
"It seems she knows that I drugged Ye Rouxin."
