After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he turned around and left.
As Shen Lin watched her departing figure, he couldn't resist going up to her and taking her hand.
"How about we listen to the last few lines?"
"Regarding the child, I will come up with a proper solution. Please give me some time, okay? Don't pronounce a death sentence right away. At least wait and give me a chance to make amends, okay?"
Ye Xinning didn't want to give up on Chen Lin's refusal to let go of the matter between them, and the child. Although he was tricked by Mu Mingwei, the fact was that the child was indeed his.
A rift has indeed formed between them, and that's an undeniable fact.
Ye Xinning turned around and met Shen Lin's gaze. After a few seconds, she lowered her head and pulled away from Shen Lin's hand. "We can no longer be like we were before, so Shen Lin, let's let each other go."
Shen Lin shook his head. "Besides you, I've never thought about anyone else. How can you expect me to let go?"
Just as Ye Xinning was about to speak, Shen Lin's phone rang in his pocket.
Ye Xinning gestured for Shen Lin to answer the phone first.
Shen Lin took out his phone and answered the call, but the voice on the other end made him instantly release Ye Xinning's hand and freeze in place.
"Mr. Shen, there has been a riot in the prison. Your aunt, Mu Mingwei, is in trouble and is being taken to the hospital."
As soon as the voice on the other end of the phone finished, Shen Lin quickly realized what was happening, asked for the hospital address, and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Lin held Ye Xinning's hand again. "I have something to do and I have to go first. You go back and get some rest. Ningning, think about what I said again. At least give me a little more time."
Ye Xinning did not speak.
Shen Lin will be leaving soon, so he can only put this matter aside for the time being.
...
When Shen arrived at the hospital, Gu Shilin was already there.
"Second Brother."
"How about it?"
"He was shot in the heart and is currently undergoing emergency treatment." Gu Shilin's voice trembled as he said this.
Shen Lin clenched his hands, his jaw tense.
Location of the heart...
The two waited anxiously at the door, and as time ticked by, the operating room door finally opened.
Gu Shilin rushed forward, "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, we did our best, but the patient was shot too close to the heart. Even though we raced against time, we still couldn't save him," the doctor said apologetically, removing his mask.
Gu Shilin opened his eyes, staring at the doctor in disbelief. It took him a long time to find his voice, "What did you say? What do you mean it couldn't be saved?"
The doctor looked at Gu Shilin apologetically and said in a low voice, "Mr. Gu, please accept my condolences."
After saying that, the doctor left.
Gu Shilin stood frozen in place.
Shen Lin stood beside him, and it took her a long time to process what had happened.
"Second brother, I don't have a mother anymore," Gu Shilin said, his voice strained and tinged with self-mockery.
Shen Lin looked at Gu Shilin, his eyes devoid of any light. In such a short time, Gu Shilin had endured so much, one thing after another.
Shen Lin felt terrible, but even more so, she felt guilty and remorseful towards Gu Shilin…
If he had taken his aunt out when he found out she was innocent, would this have prevented this from happening?
A prison riot took Mu Mingwei's life, robbed Gu Shilin of the starlight in his eyes, and plunged Shen Lin into immense self-blame.
On the night Mu Mingwei had her accident, Shen Lin asked Tang Song to investigate why a riot had occurred in the prison. Was it a coincidence or was it deliberately orchestrated?
Mu Mingwei's funeral was arranged by Shen Lin with the help of Gu Shilin.
Aunt Wen told Ye Xinning about these things. Ye Xinning sat in the courtyard of the Song family manor and listened for a long time without saying a word.
Ye Xinning was surprised by Mu Mingwei's sudden accident, but upon reflection, she realized that Mu Mingwei had done so many bad things in her life, and this was her own doing, so she couldn't blame anyone else.
"Does Ji Jianshen know?"
"I understand," Aunt Wen said. "But Mr. Ji hasn't made any statement. The Gu Group is now entirely in Mr. Ji's hands. A press conference will be held soon, at which time Mr. Ji will officially take over the Gu Group as the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Hanyu."
Ye Xinning nodded, indicating that she understood.
All of this was what Ji Jianshen wanted, and now, he can be considered to have achieved his goal.
“Aunt Wen, we don’t need to pay too much attention to this. My father will help with Ji Jianshen’s matter.”
"Okay," Aunt Wen replied.
Seeing that Ye Xinning remained silent, Aunt Wen hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Mu Mingwei died in prison. Mr. Shen knows that Mu Mingwei was wrongfully imprisoned this time. If we really investigate, he may hold a grudge."
"You harbor resentment?" Ye Xinning lowered her head and smiled. "Is it towards me or towards my father?"
"That's hard to say."
Ye Xinning understood what Aunt Wen meant. She lowered her head, playing with her fingers as she spoke, "The riot was an accident, no one expected it. As for the rest, we can't control what he thinks."
Ye Xinning's nonchalant attitude made Aunt Wen wonder if she was overthinking things.
"It would be best if Miss thought that way. What Mr. Shen thinks is naturally less important."
"Um."
Aunt Wen went to do her work, and Ye Xinning sat in the courtyard, unconsciously thinking about what Chen Lin was thinking.
