Shen Lin was worried about Ye Xinning back home, so he came here to find out if Gu Shilin was involved in this matter. If not, then Gu Shilin could investigate this matter.
"Alright, I know you're worried about your second sister-in-law, so you should go back now."
Shen Lin nodded, then suddenly said halfway through the walk, "Wen Zhu, stay here too. I'll help you investigate. Once we find that doctor, bring him back to Nancheng immediately."
"Okay, Mr. Shen." Wen Zhu had no objections and would follow Shen Lin's arrangements.
...
After meeting with Gu Shilin, Shen Lin rushed to the airport, while Ye Xinning in Nancheng was trapped in Ming Mansion.
Shen Lin took her phone, so she couldn't see anyone and had no idea what was happening outside.
Every day she tried to persuade the bodyguards at the door to let her go, but they wouldn't say a word to her. Her daily life consisted of eating, sleeping, and constant breakdowns.
That day, Ye Xinning stood on the balcony, looking at the scenery outside the window as always, wondering what she could do to leave Ming Mansion.
Looking at the scenery outside, Ye Xinning lowered her head and looked down.
The master bedroom is on the third floor, not very high. If she were to try to get there from the balcony…
Ye Xinning subconsciously touched her flat stomach. Was she going to take this risk? If something happened to the baby, could she accept that fact?
Before Ye Xinning could figure out the answer to this question, she heard a series of noises coming from the bedroom door.
She frowned, walked towards the bedroom door, and opened it.
Ye Xinning was stunned when she saw that the person standing at the door was Ye Rouxin.
Ye Rouxin was standing at the door, arguing with the bodyguard. When she saw Ningning open the bedroom door, Ye Rouxin stopped what she was doing and looked at her with moist eyes, "Ningning."
Ye Xinning didn't expect Ye Rouxin to come, but thinking about it, it made sense. She hadn't heard from her since going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup that day, and her mother must have been trying everything she could during that time.
"mom."
Ye Xinning took a step forward, heading towards the outside.
But the bodyguard stopped her, saying, "Mr. Shen said that Madam is not allowed to leave the bedroom."
Ye Xinning frowned deeply. She looked at the bodyguard and said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way."
The bodyguard remained standing still, without changing his actions in response to her words.
Ye Xinning's gaze grew even colder. She looked at the bodyguard, but before she could speak, Ye Rouxin's emotions collapsed.
“Who are you people? Did Shen Lin order you to monitor my daughter? Let me tell you, this is illegal.”
"Chairman Ye, we are just doing what Mr. Shen has arranged. If you have any questions, you can talk to Mr. Shen."
Ye Rouxin was so angry at these bodyguards that she almost had a heart attack. "Where is your CEO, Mr. Shen? I want to ask him, what gives him the right to do this?"
"President Shen is away on a business trip and won't be back for a while."
"Then I'm going to leave with my daughter now."
After Ye Rouxin finished speaking, she tried to step forward, but the female bodyguard quickly blocked her way.
"Chairman Ye, please don't make things difficult for us."
Ye Rouxin was so angry that her face turned green. Just as she was about to force her way in, Ye Xinning grabbed her hand, "Mom."
Ye Rouxin looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Ye Rouxin turned to the bodyguard and said, "Since you all listen to Shen Lin so much, why don't you call Shen Lin now and ask him properly if I can bring my mother in for a chat?"
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, knowing full well that Ye Xinning was angry.
Remembering Shen Lin's instructions, one of the bodyguards spoke up, "Madam, you're exaggerating. As long as you don't leave the bedroom, anyone can go in if they want."
Ye Xinning then pulled Ye Rouxin into the bedroom. Ye Rouxin looked back and saw that the bodyguards were still guarding the door.
"What does Shen Lin mean? Why were you suddenly imprisoned?"
Ye Xinning pulled Ye Rouxin to sit down on the sofa. "Mom, how did you know I was being held captive?"
“I didn’t know at first. When I called you, Shen Lin answered the phone. I didn’t think much of it at first, until this morning when Wen Yu went to the Ye family.”
Aunt Wen...
Ye Xinning quickly asked, "What did Aunt Wen say?"
"Wen Yu said that she couldn't get into Ming Mansion or see you, and that's when I realized something was wrong and came over immediately. I never expected that Shen Lin would do something like this."
So that's how it works.
Ye Xinning nodded, indicating that he understood.
"I see."
After listening to Ye Rouxin's explanation, Ye Xinning roughly understood the situation.
So Shen Lin kept the fact that she was controlled by him and couldn't go out a secret from his family and friends.
That makes sense now; it explains why no one has come here all this time, until today.
"Mom," Ye Xinning said, pursing her red lips.
"how?"
"The child Jiang An was pregnant with back then... was born, and... that child was indeed Shen Lin."
Ye Xinning recounted everything that happened at the coffee shop that day in a calm tone. By now, she seemed to have been able to calmly accept it, and even felt numb when she talked about it.
Ye Rouxin jumped up from her seat, her face full of disbelief. "What did you say? Jiang An's child was born, and it was Shen Lin's?"
"Yes. Because of that child, I realized that Shen Lin and I really couldn't go on, so I asked him for a divorce. He refused, and I fainted from the shock. After I fainted, he brought me back here. From that day on, I never had a chance to leave this bedroom. Shen Lin hired bodyguards to watch over me, and I couldn't do anything except eat and sleep."
Ye Xinning's words made Ye Rouxin even angrier. "He already let that bitch Jiang An have his child, and he still wants to trap you with marriage. Is he even human? If I had known he had been lying to me from beginning to end, I shouldn't have agreed to your remarriage."
Mentioning the past, recalling the sweet words Shen Lin whispered in her ear, and remembering how Shen Lin had risked his life for her time and time again.
Ye Xinning's eyes were dry, and she hurriedly lowered her head so that her mother wouldn't see her unusual condition.
With no one around, Ye Xinning felt she could endure all her grievances, but when the moment truly arrived, with her mother sitting beside her and mentioning Shen Lin, tears welled up in her eyes and she could no longer hold them back.
"I misjudged him from the very beginning."
She was too confident, confident that she could understand Shen Lin, confident that what else could Shen Lin have done if not love?
But she forgot that Shen Lin, the pride of Nancheng, had been with her for so many years, going through many ups and downs, and rarely seeing each other. How could she be so sure that she could see through such a person?
"So what are your plans next?"
