Shen Lin, "..."
He selectively ignored what Ye Xinning said.
"What kind of food is Ji Jianshen making you eat? It has no nutritional value at all. It's not good for you to eat this while you're pregnant. How about I take you to eat something else?"
Ye Xinning refused without even thinking, "No need."
Moreover, the food that Ji Jianshen asked Zhou Yun to buy was not as extravagant as he described. Ji Jianshen must have asked Zhou Yun to buy it specially, and everything was according to her preferences after she became pregnant.
Seeing that Ye Xinning rejected him without even thinking, Shen Lin's gaze became somewhat deep. "So now, compared to that Ji Jianshen, am I really not worth even the slightest bit of your affection?"
Ye Xinning felt that Shen Lin was being somewhat inexplicable, always liking to compare him with Ji Jianshen.
How could they possibly be the same?
Ji Jianshen never hurt her, but what about Shen Lin?
The previous amnesia, the mutual torment in the marriage, and the hard-won recovery of her memory, all came to an end with the Jiang An and the child incident.
Sometimes she wondered if fate had destined her and Shen Lin to be incompatible, which was why so many things had happened.
"I'm done eating, I'm leaving."
She didn't want to say anything more to him, so she packed her things and got up to leave.
Just a second before she left, Shen Lin held her hand tightly.
"Is there anything you want to say to me about Ji Jianshen?"
Ye Xinning was taken aback.
Turning back to look at Chen Lin, the color in his eyes began to change constantly.
The man's gaze was deep as he slowly spoke under her watchful eyes, "Ji Jianshen is my aunt's son, and he is Gu Hanyu. How long are you going to keep this from me?"
Ji Jianshen...
Ye Xinning was surprised; Shen Lin actually knew about this?
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin. After a long while, she regained her composure and asked calmly, "When did you find out?"
"This morning."
How did you know?
Does it matter how we know?
Ye Xinning pursed her lips.
"The important thing is, that's the truth, isn't it?"
"Hmm." Since Shen Lin already knew, Ye Xinning didn't hide it from him anymore.
This was already a fact, so when Shen Lin heard Ye Xinning's definite answer, he wasn't greatly moved; instead, he gradually calmed down.
"When did you find out, and why did you never tell me?" Shen Lin asked, but he overlooked the fact that his tone was more like an interrogation.
Ye Xinning felt somewhat uncomfortable listening to Shen Lin's tone.
"When I found out is my business. As for why I didn't tell you, Shen Lin, it's my freedom to tell you or not. There's no reason for me to report this to you."
"You know that's not what I meant. Ji Jianshen is targeting the Gu Group. The Gu Group has already suffered heavy losses because of his meddling. This has caused a lot of trouble and problems for Gu Shilin and my aunt, you know?"
Ye Xinning realized that Shen Lin was questioning her.
"Shen Lin, are you questioning me? That's ridiculous. You don't even know the details of the matter before you're talking about this. Do you know how Ji Jianshen got lost back then? You say you've found out, but I don't think you know anything. You don't know how much pain Ji Jianshen endured, how many things he shouldn't have had to bear. You also don't know how many things your naive aunt did behind the scenes."
"Then tell me, what is the reason? Why did Ji Jianshen do this? Why are you protecting him so much?" Shen Lin was anxious to know, and didn't even notice that Ye Xinning was already a little angry.
Ye Xinning was angered by Shen Lin's self-righteous attitude. She moved her lips, about to speak.
A voice suddenly rang out from not far away, interrupting her conversation with Shen Lin.
"Is Mr. Shen curious?"
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin looked in that direction, and Ji Jianshen appeared behind them at some point, now looking at them with one hand in his pocket.
Ye Xinning looked at Ji Jianshen, who gave her a smile and then stepped in front of them.
"Have you eaten?" he asked, his voice so gentle.
Ye Xinning nodded, and Ji Jianshen rubbed her head. "Uncle Song seems to be in good spirits. Why don't you go and chat with him for a while?"
Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin, then at Ji Jianshen, and suddenly understood what Ji Jianshen meant.
Ye Xinning understood, but she was still a little uneasy about leaving two men to discuss this matter.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Ji Jianshen's smile became even gentler. "Don't overthink it, I won't do anything."
Under Ji Jianshen's gentle gaze, Ye Xinning finally nodded.
"good."
Ji Jianshen and Shen Lin are cousins, so it's good that Ji Jianshen told Shen Lin these things in person.
This can also be considered another way to resolve the deep-seated frustration in Ji Jian's heart.
...
After Ye Xinning left, Ji Jianshen sat down where she had been sitting.
"Sit down."
Shen Lin's gaze was deep as he looked at Ji Jianshen, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and he remained silent.
"What's wrong? Mr. Shen seems very unhappy?"
"I never imagined that you and I would have this kind of relationship. Why?"
"Why what?"
"We've been looking for you all these years, why did you never show up? Why were you unwilling to acknowledge us? Now that you're back, why are you doing this to the Gu Group?"
Still searching?
Ji Jianshen looked as if he had heard a joke.
"Perhaps I'm a little unclear about the concept of 'finding,' and I didn't know that this is how you define the word 'finding.'"
Shen Lin's gaze was deep and thoughtful.
Ji Jianshen's gaze fell into the distance, his voice calm, "Let me tell you a story, a story I've told Xinning before..."
...
Shen Lin was sitting in his seat. When Tang Song came to find him, he saw him alone with his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"Mr. Shen."
Shen Lin nodded without saying a word.
Tang Song continued, "The person you asked us to find has been found, and is now under our control."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's expression finally changed.
He glanced in the direction of Song Zhengchu's ward, then looked away.
Let's go.
...
In a remote residential building in France, Shen Lin and Tang Song walked in together. A woman was tied to a chair in the room. Hearing the noise, the woman turned around. When she saw that the person who appeared there was Shen Lin, the woman was obviously stunned for a second, and then smiled.
"I didn't expect that the person here would be Mr. Shen. It's been a long time. I wonder how Mr. Shen has been doing during this time. I imagine it must not be very good."
