What's strange about it?
“Others don’t understand my mother, and I can’t possibly understand her either. The time when Kenneth Fok had his accident was the worst time for my mother. During that period, she was extremely cold to me. How could she suddenly fall in love with Kenneth Fok and be with him?”
Shen Lin had never really understood this point Ye Xinning had raised before, but now that Ye Xinning had brought it up, he realized that Ye Xinning had such a question in her mind.
"Didn't you ask Mom about this?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "You don't know, my relationship with Mom had plummeted to rock bottom because of Huo Qijun and the drug Xia He gave me. Since then, I haven't asked about her and Huo Qijun. Besides, these things are somewhat secret, so it wouldn't be right for me to ask."
After Shen Lin roughly understood what Ye Xinning was suspicious of, he kept it in mind and thought about having Wen Zhu investigate the matter carefully.
Check if there's anything wrong with it.
...
Ye Xinning received Ye Rouxin's call after returning home, taking a shower, and having dinner.
On the phone, Ye Rouxin's voice was visibly weary, "Ningning."
Ye Xinning went to the balcony with the phone in her hand. "Yes, Mom, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. I've been busy with things, so I haven't had a chance to call you back."
Ye Rouxin said she was busy, and Ye Xinning didn't need to think too much to know what she was busy with.
"Mom, I know about Huo Qijun's matter."
She had just finished speaking when Ye Rouxin fell silent.
Ye Xinning roughly knew what Ye Rouxin was thinking, so she didn't choose to lie. Instead, she said directly, "Shen Lin said that he asked Wenzhu to collect the evidence. Huo Qijun's arrest was actually facilitated by us."
"Oh, I thought you wouldn't say these things." Ye Rouxin's words stunned Ye Xinning.
"Mom, you know?"
"Yes, I know. Actually, I guessed it the moment I went to see him after he was arrested. He has been reckless in many things over the years, and I knew this day would come sooner or later. I know you are acting out of your own interests, and I can understand that."
Ye Rouxin's words truly surprised Ye Xinning; she never expected to hear such words from Ye Rouxin.
"Mom, don't you resent me? You and Kenneth Fok are destined to live together anyway."
"He and I were originally a couple who met later in life. I thought he was honest and upright, but I never expected that he would secretly plot so many things."
Ye Xinning actually had a lot to say about Huo Qijun, such as the things he had done in the past, and how she had always suspected that his approach to her mother was a premeditated act.
However, it was inappropriate to say these things, and even if she said them at this moment, Ye Rouxin might not believe them.
"Mom, regarding Huo Qijun's matter, Shen Lin and I both believe it's entirely his own fault. Don't worry too much about him. Right and wrong will be judged by the relevant people."
"Yes, I know, but no matter what, we've been together for so long, I can't just ignore it. But Ningning, whatever I do is what I should do, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about me."
Ye Xinning understood Ye Rouxin's thoughts. She wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, she heard Ye Rouxin say, "You and Shen Lin should be fine. You don't need to worry about me. I won't involve you in many things. I know what I should do."
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and didn't say anything more. "Okay, Mom, take care of yourself. Shen Lingkong and I will come to see you again when we get back."
"good."
...
Many people are paying attention to Huo Qijun's case. Ye Xinning originally thought that such a thing was not enough to make Huo Qijun suffer too much, but she did not expect that the punishment from above would be very severe.
On the day the punishment was announced, Ye Xinning was busy with her work at the law firm when Ye Xiaoxiao rushed in, "Sister, Huo Qijun's punishment has been announced."
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's anxiety, Ye Xinning discerned something from her expression: "How many years?"
Five years.
The sentence for illegal business operations is no more than five years, but Huo Qijun was sentenced to exactly five years. Ye Xinning suddenly felt very satisfied with this result.
"I see."
"How's it going with the Huo Group?"
"I heard that after Huo Qijun got into trouble, Huo Yanzhi became the main person in charge of the Huo Group. During this period, the Huo Group's stock price plummeted, and it was Huo Yanzhi who handled it."
"Okay, I understand."
This was to be expected, but Huo Yanzhi's methods did not allow Huo Qijun to come out, which surprised Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning looked at Huo Qijun's judgment documents, lost in thought.
After getting off work in the evening, Shen Lin called to say that something had come up and he would be a little late picking her up.
"You don't need to pick me up. I'm going to go for a walk with Xiaoxiao later."
"Where are you going? I'll come pick you up later."
"You don't need to pick me up. I don't know how late we'll be out shopping. I'll text you when it's time."
"Okay, sure."
After hanging up the phone with Shen Lin, Ye Xinning stood at the entrance of the law firm, while Ye Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and looked at her.
"Sis, how do you manage to lie without batting an eye?"
Ye Xinning raised an eyebrow. "So, if your brother-in-law calls, do you know what to say?"
“I know, I can’t not tell him that you’re with me and that you’re shopping. It’s just a few words. But what I don’t understand is why you lied to me, sis. Where are you going later?”
"Let's go see Kenneth Fok."
Upon hearing Ye Xinning say she was going to see Huo Qijun, Ye Xiaoxiao was incredulous. "What? Sis, you're going to see Huo Qijun?"
Ye Xinning nodded. "Yes, there's something I need to ask about."
Ye Xiaoxiao was genuinely curious. "What is it?"
"It's nothing, it has little to do with you. The less you know, the better."
She was unwilling to talk about it, and there was nothing Ye Xiaoxiao could do.
"Then how about I go with you, sister?"
"No need, I'll go by myself. You go and do your own thing, don't worry about me."
"But……"
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to say something more, but Ye Xinning said softly, "Alright, how could Huo Qijun possibly cause me any harm now? There's really no need for you to worry."
"Alright."
Ye Xiaoxiao compromised and said, "In that case, I'm leaving. Sister Zhu can get the answer she wants by going there."
