She knew, of course, that wouldn't happen, but if it wasn't, then what was it?
Ye Xinning really couldn't think of any other reason.
"Why did Mu Mingwei do all these things? Designing these things couldn't have been done overnight. She made many preparations to make it so seamless, deceiving Shen Lin, deceiving me, and deceiving everyone."
"Yes, I'll investigate this matter and try my best to find out what happened as soon as possible." Seeing Ye Xinning's worried look, Song Zhengchu comforted her, "Don't be too anxious. Now that we know it was Mu Mingwei who did it, we should investigate properly and find out the results eventually."
Ye Xinning nodded. "It seems that this is the only way now."
Song Zhengchu hummed in agreement and brought up another matter, "When I came back just now, I saw a car on the road that looked like Shen Lin's. Did he come here to look for you today?"
When Shen Lin was mentioned, Ye Xinning lowered his head and remained silent for a while before speaking.
"Um."
"What does he want with you?"
"He knows about what Mu Mingwei did."
Song Zhengchu wasn't surprised by this. "He's not stupid. He's been investigating these things since he came to France. It was only a matter of time before he found out about Mu Mingwei."
"Yes, he apologized to me, saying that it was all because of him that I went through all this, but I know that's not true. Even if I hadn't met him, Mu Mingwei would still have done these things. She hates me, not because I married Shen Lin, but for other reasons."
"So what do you think? In this matter, Shen Lin is actually innocent. It's not something he can decide that Mu Mingwei is his aunt. He didn't expect to be schemed against by Mu Mingwei like this."
“I know what Dad said, but for me, some things are just insurmountable. That child is his, and Jiang An is the child’s mother. This is an insurmountable obstacle between him and me.”
Song Zhengchu sighed, and didn't say anything more.
...
When Shen Lin returned to the Gu family home, Gu Shilin was there, and Mu Mingwei had also returned. She was sitting on the sofa.
Shen Lin didn't approach, but instead headed straight upstairs.
Gu Shilin quickly stepped forward and pulled him back.
"Second Brother."
Shen Lin glanced at Gu Shilin, who looked at Mu Mingwei and asked, "Why didn't you even say goodbye to my mother before going upstairs?"
Shen Lin then turned his gaze to Mu Mingwei. Judging from Gu Shilin's words, he probably didn't know anything yet.
Shen Lin looked at Mu Mingwei and smiled, "Your aunt still hasn't said a word to you?"
Mu Mingwei's gaze was icy, and Shen Lin's questioning did not change her expression in the slightest.
So you're blaming me now? Because of that woman?
Shen Lin twitched the corner of his lips. "It's unbelievable that my aunt is still so self-righteous at this time."
Gu Shilin was even more puzzled by Shen Lin's indifference towards Mu Mingwei.
"What's wrong? Second brother, why are you suddenly treating my mother like this?"
"Why? Why did Ningning and I end up like this? Who arranged Jiang An's marriage? Why is everything in this situation? It's all because of my aunt. My aunt ruined my marriage with her own hands."
"Second brother, are you saying that my mother was the one who helped Jiang An orchestrate everything behind the scenes?"
Gu Shilin's face was filled with disbelief. "How could this be? How could Mom have made this?"
“At first, I never imagined that my beloved aunt would plot against me like this behind my back.”
Gu Shilin still refused to believe it. He turned to Mu Mingwei and said, "Mom, tell me and my second brother that this is a misunderstanding. You didn't do it. You advised my second brother to save his sperm because you didn't want him to misunderstand later, not because you intended to scheme against him from the beginning."
Under Gu Shilin's persistent questioning, Mu Mingwei kept a tight expression and remained silent for a long time.
Gu Shilin then realized that what Shen Lin said was true, and that Mu Mingwei really did these things.
But why?
"Mom, why did you do this? Why did you hurt my second brother like this? You clearly care about him so much, how could you bear to let him suffer like this?"
Mu Mingwei pursed her lips, her hands clenched into fists. She looked at Shen Lin, stood up from the sofa, and walked step by step to Shen Lin. She said with difficulty, "Shen Lin, you are my sister's only child and my only nephew. How could I hurt you? I just didn't expect that you would really fall in love with that woman."
"I never thought I'd fall in love with her? So this is my aunt's explanation for me now?"
“Back then, you had no feelings for love at all. I thought you would be heartless and indifferent to love for the rest of your life. Even after you married Ye Xinning, you were so cold to her. It was because I saw your indifference that I decided to take action. Shen Lin, you have to believe your aunt. Your aunt never intended to hurt you like this.”
Mu Mingwei spoke so sincerely, but Shen Lin's heart was still filled with coldness.
“If my aunt really cared about me, she wouldn’t have plotted to have Jiang An appear after knowing that Ningning was pregnant with my child. If my aunt really cared about me, she should have cut her losses after Ningning and I remarried. But my aunt didn’t. First, she sent Mu Chaochao to Nancheng to try to create an accident that would kill the child and Ningning. After the plan failed, my aunt then plotted to have Jiang An come and blackmail me. My aunt knew how resolute Ningning was. If she knew that Jiang An had given birth to the child, she would definitely not stay.”
Mu Mingwei tensed her jaw; what Shen Lin said was true, and she had no way to refute it.
Shen Lin and Gu Shilin were both looking at her. Shen Lin curled his lips and gave a self-deprecating smile.
“Auntie, I used to think you were my most important family member, but you disappointed me so much in this matter. The happiness that was within my grasp is gone because of you. I know I can't do anything to you because you are my auntie, but I also can't treat you the same way as before.”
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he told Tang Song to go upstairs to pack his things. Soon Tang Song came down with his things.
Seeing this, Mu Mingwei panicked, "Chen Lin, A-Lin, you can't leave. Your aunt shouldn't have disregarded your feelings, but your aunt had her reasons for doing these things. Can you forgive your aunt just this once?"
"What's your predicament?" Shen Lin asked in return.
Mu Mingwei said with difficulty, "I can't tell you these things right now, but believe me, you will be happier without Ye Xinning. Jiang An loves you so much, and now you have a child with Jiang An. As long as you want, you can be very happy. Do you believe your aunt?"
