Why did she want to remarry Shen Lin?
Several people asked this question, but Ye Xinning could only think of one answer: "There is no other reason. I chose to remarry him simply because I love him."
Perhaps it was because of the word "love" Ye Xinning uttered, or perhaps it was because Ye Xinning spoke the truth so frankly, that Huo Yanzhi's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.
"Why? Why have you chosen him time and time again?"
Despite Huo Yanzhi's overwhelming rage, Ye Xinning remained calm throughout, saying, "I love him."
"Love? How ridiculous. He hurt you, misunderstood you, and he hasn't forgotten anyone else, except you. And now you're telling me you love him? Is he, Chen Lin, worthy of your love? If you're really such a soft-hearted person, why have you never looked back at me?"
Huo Yanzhi's voice was initially angry, but later it became pleading.
Ye Xinning listened to the change in the voice on the other end of the phone and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Huo Yanzhi, love and not love have never been measured by you like this, nor have they been measured by your standards."
"Then tell me what it is? What are you using to measure it? In the end, these are all just your excuses. It's because you're biased towards Chen Lin that you can't see me."
Ye Xinning was already very familiar with Huo Yanzhi's obsession and scheming.
This man had gone mad five years ago, so it's not surprising that he could say these things now.
"I told you, Huo Yanzhi, that you and I were never meant to be. I hate you, I hate your brother. Even if you hadn't done those things to me later, even if I hadn't met Shen Lin, we still wouldn't have been together."
Hearing Ye Xinning speak these words so coldly, Huo Yanzhi's cold laughter came from the other end of the phone, sounding like helplessness, pain, and despair.
"Just because my brother is Kenneth Fok, just because of my identity which I cannot choose, just because of the development of the story which I cannot control, you have never been willing to give me a chance?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and said calmly, "Huo Yanzhi, I have never been an honest person. I hate scheming and betrayal. As for you, how can I face you after everything you have done five years ago? Moreover, your brother has wanted me dead countless times. How can I accept you and your obsessive love?"
"Then why is it okay for Shen Lin?"
Huo Yanzhi circled back to Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning felt utterly helpless. "We have nothing more to talk about. That's it. Don't call me again. I don't think we have anything to talk about."
"Nothing to talk about?"
Huo Yanzhi repeated her words, and then a gloomy voice came from the phone, "I will always wait until you call me first."
After saying that, Huo Yanzhi hung up the phone immediately.
Ye Xinning stared blankly at the phone that had already been hung up, stunned by Huo Yanzhi's last words.
What does it mean to always wait for her to call him first?
What did Huo Yanzhi mean by this?
Why is he able to be so confident?
Ye Xinning was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when the study door was pushed open from the outside.
As soon as Shen Lin entered, he saw Ye Xinning holding a phone, looking like she had just finished a call. He walked over, picked up the person from the chair without saying a word, sat down himself, and held the person in his arms.
Ye Xinning was startled by this sudden turn of events. When she came to her senses, she saw Shen Lin's enlarged face right in front of her.
"Who did you finish the call with?" Shen Lin asked, his voice low.
Ye Xinning put his arm around her waist, thought for a moment, and said truthfully, "Huo Yanzhi."
Upon hearing the name Huo Yanzhi, Shen Lin's expression changed, and he tightened his grip on her.
Seeing his stubborn refusal to answer even though he seemed to want to ask, Ye Xinning knew that he was jealous.
"Don't worry, we didn't say anything. It was a complete accident that I received his call. He always calls me from different numbers. At first, I was very annoyed, but then I thought that constantly avoiding him would only make me feel uneasy. He's just obsessed with me, and it doesn't have any impact on me."
Ye Xinning explained it very clearly, but Shen Lin remained silent.
Ye Xinning looked at him cautiously and asked tentatively, "Are you still angry?"
Shen Lin spoke, his magnetic voice sounding particularly charming in the darkness, "I'm not angry that you answered his call, but angry at myself. If it weren't for my amnesia back then, perhaps you wouldn't have had to endure so many unpleasant memories about Huo Yanzhi."
Hearing his guilty words, Ye Xinning was touched. She softened her voice and patted his back gently, saying soothingly, "I know, it's all in the past."
Shen Lin held her tightly, remaining silent for a long time.
“Sinking down.”
Ye Xinning called her name softly.
Shen Lin hummed in agreement. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think it's possible that none of the people I suspect are among them?"
Ye Xinning's words made Shen Lin look at her seriously, "What did Huo Yanzhi say to you that made you think like this?"
"He didn't actually say anything."
But that last, meaningful sentence made her think about some things.
Shen Lin stared at her intently, trying to discern something else from her face.
Ye Xinning appeared calm and composed, not at all like she was hiding anything from him.
"Regardless of whether the current direction is right or wrong, I will eventually find out the truth with you."
"Um."
"So don't carry everything on your own. Tell me what's on your mind as soon as possible."
"good."
"It's getting late. You should go back to your bedroom and take a shower first. I'll come and keep you company after I finish the last bit of work."
"good."
After Ye Xinning left the study, Shen Lin took out his phone and dialed Wen Zhu's number.
The call was quickly answered, and Wenzhu's voice came through, "President Shen."
"How did it go when I told you to keep an eye on the movements of those two Shen brothers?"
"Um."
Is there anything special about it?
“I haven’t found anything particularly remarkable here, but Xia He seems to have met with Huo Yanzhi a few times.”
Xia He...
Huo Yanzhi...
"Is there any way to find out what they talked about when they met?"
"There's nothing we can do about it for now. Huo Yanzhi is very vigilant, and we can't find out anything."
Shen Lin's eyes were deep, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Has the list of all personnel involved in the Ye Group project been released?"
"It's out. I'm just about to send it to President Shen."
"Okay, then send the list over first."
Wenzhu sent over the list, and Shen Lin looked at the people on the list. One name in particular caught Shen Lin's attention.
