"I know everything."
Ye Xinning was stunned. After a long time, she turned around and looked at Shen Lin. The surprise in her eyes had slowly turned into calm.
She should have guessed it; when she saw Mu Mingwei before, Shen Lin didn't greet her but offered to take her back.
If it were in the past, Shen Lin would have respected his aunt so much, so why would he have been so cold to Mu Mingwei?
It turns out he already knew what had happened.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips with difficulty before speaking, "If you know, then you know."
Shen Lin never expected Ye Xinning to say this.
He looked at her and spoke with difficulty, "I never thought it would be her. She is my closest relative, someone I have always trusted. If I had discovered earlier that my aunt harbored so much hatred, I would never have let things come to this."
Ye Xinning was curious about when he found out. "Did you find out because you overheard what I was saying to your aunt, or did you already have some idea before that?"
"Before that, I had someone investigate. Comparing what the doctor said, the only person who could use a voice changer to contact him was someone I knew. And in France, it could only be Gu Shilin or my aunt."
"So you had suspicions before, but never told me?"
"I just wanted to wait until I found more information before telling you, but I didn't expect you to find it yourself so quickly."
Ye Xinning hated Shen Lin's attitude the most. Back when Jiang An was there, he always kept it from her, thinking that he was omnipotent and could do anything well.
Even now, regarding Mu Mingwei's matter, he had already found some clues, but he still chose to keep it from her.
Ye Xinning didn't want to say another word to Shen Lin, so she pushed open the car door and got out.
Shen Lin quickly caught up and hugged her tightly from behind, his voice hoarse, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what Auntie is trying to do, but Ningning, believe me, I will definitely get the answer you want from Auntie."
Asking for the answer she wanted, Ye Xinning wondered what kind of result Shen Lin would want.
Shen Lin is always like this, so self-righteous.
"Let me go. I have nothing more to say to you. I can look up anything I want to know myself. I don't need you."
"don't want."
Shen Lin held her tightly. Ye Xinning didn't turn around, but she could feel that her shoulder was wet.
Because of this realization, Ye Xinning remained silent for a long time. She never thought that Shen Lin would shed tears in front of her.
But just because he sheds tears and feels wronged, does that mean she has to forgive him?
Who can she tell about all the grievances she has suffered?
That child was his, and that was something she could never get over in her entire life.
...
Ye Xinning finally let Shen Lin let go of her hand and entered the Song family manor without looking back.
She didn't care whether Shen Lin left or continued to wait outside the door. The most important thing now was to figure out why Mu Mingwei hated her and her mother so much, and if Mu Mingwei were to take action again, would she choose an even more extreme method to hurt her or Nancheng's mother?
Therefore, the most urgent thing for her to know is this one thing.
After returning home, Ye Xinning called Song Zhengchu.
Song Zhengchu returned quickly after the call connected. He was somewhat puzzled to see her sitting so formally in the study waiting for him.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly call me so urgently and ask me to come back?"
"Dad, I know who's been plotting against me behind my back?"
Upon hearing her words, Song Zhengchu's expression turned extremely serious. "Who is it?"
"Mu Mingwei".
Upon hearing Mu Mingwei's name, Song Zhengchu slammed his fist on the table in anger, "How could it be her? Shen Lin is her family, why would she do this?"
Ye Xinning shook her head. "I went to see Mu Mingwei, and she admitted it herself. She did all of this. And it wasn't just me; Xia He, my mother's assistant, was also arranged by her. Xia He drugged my mother and caused her health problems. She was the one who did all of that."
"But why? You have no grudge against her, so why would she do this?"
"Yes, we have no grudge against her, so why would she do this? My mother doesn't even know her, and I only met her for the first time after remarrying Shen Lin. So why would she go to such lengths to take revenge on us?"
Ye Xinning's questions silenced Song Zhengchu.
After a long silence, Song Zhengchu finally understood why Ye Xinning had called him back in such a hurry.
"You think the problem lies with me?"
“Dad, I can’t think of any other reason besides you.”
"Tell me, what are you thinking?"
"Mu Mingwei started planning and scheming against my mother and me so early on. Whether it was Xia He or Mu Chaochao later, these people were just a small part of Mu Mingwei's chessboard. So, was Dad the most important person to break this chess game?"
"You believe the root of everything lies with me?"
"Dad is in France, but Mu Mingwei has already extended her reach to Nancheng. Why? Also, Ji Jianshen told me those things. Mu Mingwei doesn't love Ji Jianshen's father. So, who does she love? Gu Shilin isn't a member of the Gu family. So, who is Gu Shilin's biological father?"
Song Zhengchu finally understood what Ye Xinning meant. He chuckled and said, "So you think that Mu Mingwei is treating you and your mother this way because she loves me but can't have me, so she hates you and your mother? Also, are you starting to suspect that Gu Shilin is my son?"
Ye Xinning had this suspicion. Hearing Song Zhengchu say these things, she looked at him nervously, "So Dad told me, is that right? It's because Mu Mingwei loves you that all these things happened later?"
Song Zhengchu smiled and rubbed Ye Xinning's head, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Of course not. Let me tell you, I've only ever had your mother in my life, and I've only ever loved her. I've never had a deep relationship with Mu Mingwei. I've met her a few times before, but we've never spoken. Plus, after learning about Ji Jianshen's situation, I disliked that woman even more. How could the things you're thinking of happen?"
Ye Xinning was distressed that Song Zhengchu had rejected her idea. "Then what exactly happened? Could it be that she secretly liked Dad, but Dad fell in love with Mom, so she took revenge like this?"
Would you like someone you've barely met and have never spoken to?
"..." Ye Xinning was stumped by the question.
