However, the very person who helped her so much still managed to disappoint her to the point of numbness.
She was holding her phone when Wen Yu sent her a message while she was talking to Xiao Chen.
"Miss, the specific situation is still unclear. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."
Besides Wen Yu's, Xi Yuan's chat box also lit up.
—Ningning, Shen Lin suddenly came back to get his luggage, saying he was going on a business trip. Do you know where he's going?
She knew where Shen Lin was going; the fact that he was leaving in such a hurry meant he was definitely going to find Jiang An.
Jiang An had just experienced such an incident, and then Shen Lin left. What other reason could there be?
Of course not.
Ye Xinning knew why Shen Lin left, and also knew that Shen Lin had known where Jiang An was from the very beginning.
This fact forced her to accept that even if Jiang An left Nancheng and went to other places, the story of Jiang An and Shen Lin would continue.
Perhaps because she had been silent for too long, Xi Yuan called her shortly afterward.
Ye Xinning answered the phone, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Ningning, are you busy?"
Xi Yuan asked her, and Ye Xinning hesitated for a second before replying, "Not in a hurry."
"Not busy? Okay, let me tell you, Shen Lin just came back to get something. Is he going on a business trip?"
"Maybe."
Her answer was somewhat ambiguous. She couldn't tell Xi Yuanming, nor did she want to lie to Xi Yuan, so this was the best way to answer.
Xi Yuan let out a long "Oh," and said, "Oh, what's going on? You guys are all so busy with work. He just got back from Beicheng, and now he's going on another business trip."
Ye Xinning simply smiled and didn't say anything.
Xi Yuan called just to find out about this matter. After speaking, she chatted with Ye Xinning for a few more minutes before hanging up.
In the office, Ye Xinning sat at her desk, thinking that Shen Lin was on his way to see Jiang An, and that Shen Lin had been deceiving her for so long, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Shen Lin, I believed you, and this is how you lied to me?
While pretending to listen to Shen Yu and send Jiang An away, she secretly maintained contact with Jiang An.
Are they making a fool of Ye Xinning or something? Or do they think she has absolutely no temper?
Over the next few days, Ye Xinning did not see Shen Lin again. Wen Yu called to say that Jiang An had been admitted to the hospital to protect her pregnancy. During this time, she did not see anyone else.
Ye Xinning's thoughts were that with Shen Lin's status, it would be easy for him to hide his whereabouts. If he didn't want people to know where he was, he had plenty of ways. The fact that Wen Yu couldn't see him only meant that he had indeed gone to great lengths to deceive Shen Yu and her.
She told Wen Yu that she had worked hard and asked her to leave New Zealand, saying that there was no need to investigate Jiang An's matter any further.
Wen Yu asked in surprise, "Miss, aren't you waiting for the results? That woman is still pregnant with Mr. Shen's child."
Ye Xinning stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her voice on the phone was calm as could be, yet it was also eerily quiet.
"No need, Aunt Wen, you should leave there."
Wen Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.
“Miss, there are many things I can do for that woman, and I can do them without anyone noticing, so that no one can trace them back to you. Why do you still allow that child in her womb to live?”
Wen Yu had wanted to say these things for a long time: why did she tolerate Jiang An being pregnant with Shen Lin's child when Ye Xinning asked her to keep an eye on Jiang An?
"Thank you, Aunt Wen. I understand what you mean, but it's not necessary."
“But Miss, as long as that woman’s child is gone, your relationship with Mr. Shen will not be affected, and you won’t be so sad.”
Ye Xinning sat in the coffee shop, and upon hearing this, she held her phone and fell silent.
She didn't know if her current situation was good or bad, nor did she know the meaning of her marriage with Shen Lin, but she thought that even if she didn't want to accept Jiang An's pregnancy, she couldn't hurt her.
In that case, what's the difference between her and Jiang An?
After hanging up the phone with Wen Yu, Ye Xinning stared blankly at the bustling traffic outside until Xiao Chen sat down in front of her.
"Why are you here so early?"
Ye Xinning raised her head, pulling herself out of her reverie, and said with a faint smile, "I just arrived a little while ago."
"Have you brought everything I asked you to bring?"
Ye Xinning took out the information Xiao Chen had asked for, which was about Miss He's custody battle.
She tried to hand it to Xiao Chen, but he didn't take it, and Ye Xinning didn't understand what he meant.
Xiao Chen took a sip of his coffee and then said, "You'll be in charge of this case."
Ye Xinning was surprised, "Me?"
"Well, I was originally planning to handle it myself, but I've been a bit busy lately, so you can come instead."
Ye Xinning sorted things out. In her memory, Xiao Chen didn't have any cases on his hands. Since he was busy, it must be a personal matter.
She never pried into her boss's private affairs; if Xiao Chen made the arrangements, she would just do them.
"Okay, no problem."
"By the way, let Xia Wan handle the project in Beicheng. You just need to focus on Miss He's case and the other cases you already have."
Ye Xinning paused in her actions, looked up, and asked in confusion, "Should we have Xia Wan do it?"
She didn't understand why, when everything was fine, the case that was in her hands was being handed over to Xia Wan? And it was the case in Beicheng.
“You have a lot of work on your hands, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it. Besides, you’re not good at economic cases, so having Xia Wan handle them can help relieve some of your pressure.”
Ye Xinning pursed her red lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
This was the first time Xiao Chen had said that her abilities were inferior to Xia Wan's.
She was indeed not as adept at handling economics as she was at other categories, but she was no worse than Xia Wan, which Ye Xinning couldn't understand.
She couldn't accept the reasons Xiao Chen gave, nor could she convince him, but she didn't want to delve into Xiao Chen's true thoughts.
"Okay, then I'll go with her to complete the handover procedures later."
"Okay, sure."
Xiao Chen nodded, and the two chatted for a while longer, mostly about the case.
Ye Xinning seemed a little absent-minded, and Xiao Chen noticed, "What's wrong?"
"What?"
You seem unhappy.
Ye Xinning leaned back in her chair, nonchalantly asking, "Was I that obvious?"
"They practically wrote my unhappiness on their faces."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Is it really that exaggerated?
She smiled silently, "It's nothing, just a private matter."
"Do you need any help?"
"No need." Her problem was her marriage with Shen Lin. Shen Lin was unwilling to divorce her, so it didn't matter who she asked for help.
