The person on the other end of the line never said their name. Jiang An gripped the phone tightly, remaining silent.
The people over there weren't in a hurry. "Now that Mu Mingwei is dead, Shen Lin's attention will definitely return to Nancheng. Do you think you can escape unscathed then?"
“I gave birth to his child, so no matter what, he will have some reservations and won’t do anything to me,” Jiang An said stubbornly, biting her lip.
"Hehe, Miss Jiang, ignorance is not your fault, but knowing you are ignorant and letting others know is your fault. Do you really think Shen Lin cares about that child?"
Jiang An bit her lip and remained silent for a long time.
She knew that Shen Lin had disliked the child ever since it was born, but she always thought that no matter what, it was still his child, and he couldn't possibly do anything wrong.
But what the person on the phone was saying now plunged her into a state of panic.
"Don't try to scare me. You haven't even told me who you are, so why should I believe what you're saying?"
The man on the other end of the phone chuckled. "Of course you can choose not to believe what I say, but Miss Jiang, once you miss this opportunity, it's gone forever. You're refusing me now that I still want to cooperate with you. By the time you regret it, it will be too late."
After saying this, the man prepared to hang up the phone.
Jiang An quickly spoke up, "Wait a minute."
The man stopped talking on the phone without hanging up. "Ms. Jiang, my time is very valuable. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"If I cooperate with you, can you really help me?" Jiang An had no other choice. Mu Mingwei had been her support, but now Mu Mingwei was gone, and she had to find another way out for herself.
"It seems that Miss Jiang has no other choice but to believe me now."
Jiang An bit her lower lip, and had to admit that what the man said was true. It seemed that she had no other choice but to believe him.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
A low chuckle came from the man on the other end of the phone, as if he had known all along that she would make this choice.
The man spoke calmly, and his words pointed Jiang An in a direction he needed to find...
...
Nancheng Airport.
Ye Xinning and Song Zhengchu returned together. As soon as they arrived at the airport terminal, they saw Shen Lin, who had been waiting for them.
Shen Lin returned three days before them. Ye Xinning originally thought that she would see him again when they were going through divorce proceedings, but she didn't expect that Shen Lin would appear here.
Behind Shen Lin were Wen Zhu and Tang Song. Tang Song was very perceptive and came up to help them with their luggage, but Song Zhengchu and Ye Xinning did not make a move.
The first to speak was Song Zhengchu. He looked at Shen Lin and said, "What are you doing, kid?"
“It is only right that I, as the son-in-law, come to pick up Dad and Ningning when they come back.”
Shen Lin spoke as if nothing had happened, and that he had simply come to pick up his wife and father-in-law who were traveling far away.
Song Zhengchu raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and his gaze fell on Ye Xinning's face.
As for Ye Xinning, seeing Shen Lin appear with his subordinates, she felt no emotion. After Song Zhengchu finished speaking, she slowly raised her head to look at Shen Lin, "Shen Lin, you didn't need to do all this. You and I both know what my purpose is in coming back here."
Despite Ye Xinning's cold attitude, Shen Lin acted as if nothing had happened. "I'll take you back first, and we can talk about other things later. You don't want your father to have to stand here and suffer after traveling all the way with you on the plane, do you?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
In the end, Shen Lin drove Ye Xinning and Song Zhengchu to the Ye family's door. Ye Xinning originally wanted to refuse again, but Song Zhengchu agreed before she could.
According to what Song Zhengchu whispered in her ear, she was still pregnant with Shen Lin's child, so it was only right for Shen Lin to send her the baby; it wasn't an unreasonable thing to do.
...
As the car drove along, Ye Xinning sat in the back seat with her head tilted to the side. Even so, she could still feel the intense gazes of the people in front of her.
She told herself to ignore it; since she had decided to divorce Shen Lin, she should remain calm and unaffected by any external factors.
When her phone rang, Ye Xinning was staring blankly out the window at the receding scenery.
"Your phone is ringing, Ningning," Song Zhengchu reminded her. Ye Xinning snapped out of her reverie and lowered her head to answer the phone.
The call was from Ji Jianshen.
"Have we arrived, Xinning?"
Ye Xinning nodded and said to Ji Jianshen, "Don't worry on the way home."
"You must be tired from the long journey. Get home and rest early."
"Yeah, you too. You're so busy with work, so don't worry about me anymore. I can handle it."
"How could I not worry? I should have gone with you, but I have so many things to do here, so I can only let you face these things alone."
Ye Xinning felt that he had been very straightforward with Ji Jianshen, but Ji Jianshen still said the same thing, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"I'm not so worried about you being with Uncle Song. Go home and get some rest. Call me if anything happens."
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, exchanged a few more words with Ji Jianshen, and then hung up the phone.
During the time it took her to answer the phone and then hang up, Shen Lin kept watching her.
Listening to her gentle voice, listening to her slowly speaking to the person on the other end of the phone, Chen Lin looked away with a pained expression. Without having to think too much, he knew who the person on the other end of the phone was.
...
After escorting Ye Xinning and Song Zhengchu to the Ye family's door, Shen Lin originally wanted to find an opportunity to speak with Ye Xinning alone. However, Ye Rouxin had not seen Ye Xinning for a long time, and the moment she saw Ye Xinning, she pulled Ye Xinning into the house.
Shen Lin had no time to speak.
Song Zhengchu looked at Shen Lin, who was standing to the side with undisguised disappointment in his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and said only one sentence.
If only I had known then what I know now.
Song Zhengchu didn't say anything, and turned around to walk into the Ye family's house.
Shen Lin stood at the door for a long time, but in the end he just got into his car and left without saying anything.
...
Ye Rouxin hadn't seen Ye Xinning for a long time. When the mother and daughter met, they exchanged pleasantries.
Thinking of Ye Xinning and Shen Lin appearing here together, Ye Rouxin lowered her voice and asked, "Ningning, how come you came back with Shen Lin? What, have you changed your mind? Do you want to continue living with him?"
Ye Xinning shook her head without even thinking, "I'm just back to complete the formalities. There are so many problems between us, how could we possibly get back together?"
"Why can't we get back together? It all depends on how you look at it."
"What about Mom and Dad?"
