Upon hearing this, Shen Lin looked behind him and immediately saw Mu Mingwei standing not far away.
Shen Lin frowned. He hadn't seen Mu Mingwei for a while, as he had been busy dealing with his own affairs and investigating these matters.
Now that things are clear, he's been thinking about how to handle it.
Mu Mingwei was indeed his aunt, but he also knew clearly that all these things were done by Mu Mingwei.
So he already had a plan in mind for how to handle this matter.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Shen Lin asked.
Mu Mingwei came up to him and looked at him. "If I hadn't come, would I have let that woman have you completely under her thumb?"
Shen Lin frowned subconsciously at Mu Mingwei's words and said unhappily, "Auntie, I've said it before, my affairs are none of your business."
Mu Mingwei snorted coldly, "Didn't she want a divorce? Perfect, let's get a divorce."
“Auntie, things are already a mess here. Can you please stop interfering?” Shen Lin said, rubbing her temples. “Instead of me getting involved here, Auntie, you should stay home and reflect on how to explain what you’ve done to Shi Lin.”
When Gu Shilin was mentioned, Mu Mingwei's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly said, "How do I explain? All I did was to give him a good life. I never did anything wrong."
Shen Lin looked at Mu Mingwei with disappointment, not expecting that even now, Mu Mingwei would still say such a thing.
"Auntie, what about Ji Jianshen?"
Why are you bringing this up?
Shen Lin spoke up, "Ji Jianshen is Gu Hanyu, the eldest son of the Gu family, and is my aunt's son. That's an indisputable fact. Aunt, I still can't understand why you treated him like this. Is it because you love Qin Yongwang that you did so many inhumane things?"
Shen Lin's accusations did not make Mu Mingwei realize that she had made any mistakes.
She looked at Shen Lin with icy eyes and said, "You don't understand at all. You don't know that if Gu Qingyuan hadn't forced me, how could I have married him and given birth to Ji Jianshen?"
Thinking of that past, Mu Mingwei closed her eyes, her expression filled with pain.
Back then, she and Qin Yongwang liked each other, and the days they spent together were the happiest days of her life. However, later, during a university lecture, she unexpectedly met Gu Qingyuan, who fell in love with her and began to pursue her intensely.
She had always refused, but it was Gu Qingyuan's appearance that caused a misunderstanding between her and Qin Yongwang. In a fit of anger, she had a relationship with Gu Qingyuan and accepted his marriage proposal.
Later, Qin Yongwang returned, and the conflict between them was resolved. However, when she went to Gu Qingyuan to ask him to cancel the wedding, Gu Qingyuan refused and even threatened her with her reputation and future.
She had no choice but to marry Gu Qingyuan. Even after the marriage, she still couldn't forget Qin Yongwang. On the contrary, because of Gu Qingyuan's blackmail, she hated Gu Qingyuan to the core.
“You all think I did something wrong, but how do you know that every time I see that child, I think of Gu Qingyuan and our sordid marriage? How could I possibly allow that child to stay by my side?”
Shen Lin looked at Mu Mingwei with a cold gaze, "If Auntie felt it wasn't right from the start, why did you get married? You could have gone through the proper procedures to get a divorce after marriage. Why did you have an affair during the marriage? Also, was Auntie really responsible for Gu Qingyuan's death?"
Mentioning Gu Qingyuan's death, Mu Mingwei's smile turned sinister. "At the beginning, I didn't want him to die, but he went too far. He actually said he would tell outsiders about Shi Lin's background. How could I let him do that? If anyone is to blame, it's him for having the wrong idea first."
As he listened to Mu Mingwei's words, the coldness in Shen Lin's eyes grew stronger.
He never imagined that his beloved aunt was so cold-hearted and ruthless.
"Is Qin Yongwang really that good? So good that my aunt abandoned her own child for him, and even destroyed my happiness for the person I love most?"
At this point, Mu Mingwei's expression finally changed.
She looked at Shen Lin and said with some pain, "I didn't want this to happen either, but I had no choice, Shen Lin. You have to understand the helplessness of watching your beloved die. From the moment Qin Yongwang died, I secretly vowed to take revenge. I must get my revenge."
"My aunt has lost her beloved forever, so must I suffer too?"
“I just didn’t expect that you would actually fall in love with that woman, Shen Lin. You have to believe me, believe that your aunt’s original intention was not to make you suffer. Your aunt just wanted Song Zhengchu to experience all my pain.”
"Does Auntie have 100% proof that Ningning's father killed Qin Yongwang?"
"If it were him, who else could it be? If it weren't him, Yongwang wouldn't have gone on this business trip, let alone had this accident."
Shen Lin knew that Mu Mingwei's answer meant she had no evidence; if she had evidence, she wouldn't have said it that way.
So, based on just one guess, so many things have been done.
As Shen Lin thought about the hardships he and Ye Xinning had gone through, his resentment and hatred towards Mu Mingwei intensified.
"Auntie, go ahead. You don't need to interfere in my affairs anymore."
Shen Lin's cold attitude pierced Mu Mingwei's heart.
She asked Shen Lin, "So, you're going to blame me because of that woman, Ye Xinning?"
"The woman my aunt mentioned is the first person who made me feel that life is so wonderful. She is the person I miss day and night and can't let go of. She is also the mother of my child."
When it came to the child's mother, Mu Mingwei's gaze fell on Shen Lin. "Jiang An has already given birth to your child. Why are you still so persistent? Isn't it better to be with Jiang An? Why must it be Ye Xinning?"
Mu Mingwei's mention of Jiang An only made things worse. Shen Lin's gaze turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "I have never acknowledged that he is my child. Aunt, aren't you overthinking things?"
Mu Mingwei did not expect that Shen Lin would not even acknowledge the child Jiang An gave birth to.
"You're really crazy about that woman, Ye Xinning."
Mu Mingwei was furious. She threw down those words and turned to leave.
Shen Lin watched her departing figure, unmoved.
He could never let go of Ye Xinning in his life; it was fate. He just didn't know if he could hold onto Ye Xinning this time.
...
The second floor of the Song Family Manor.
Ye Xinning sat in the bedroom, taking in everything downstairs from the moment Mu Mingwei appeared.
The distance was too great for her to know what Shen Lin and Mu Mingwei had said, but what they had said didn't matter anymore.
She took out her phone and called Xiao Chen.
