"..."
Ye Xinning wondered, if they were just waiting for her to throw it away, why send it in now? It was pointless.
"Mr. Shen, don't you think this is a troublesome matter?"
She tried to make Shen Lin understand.
But Shen Lin stepped back at that moment, widening the distance between them.
He then spoke, his tone calm and even, without any inflection, "It's my business if I send it here, and it's your business if you want to throw it away. I won't interfere with you, and you shouldn't try to stop me."
After finishing speaking, Shen Lin turned around and got into the car.
Ye Xinning, "..."
Shen Lin drove away, and Ye Xinning stood at the door looking at Wen Zhu. Wen Zhu was still polite and courteous, "Madam, these are all Mr. Shen's kind gestures. Please accept them. They are all things that are needed."
Ye Xinning was somewhat helpless about Wen Zhu's way of addressing him. "Assistant Wen, your President Shen and I have been divorced for four years. You should change how you address me. It's a bit inappropriate to call me 'Madam' anymore."
Her reminder was relatively mild.
Wenzhu just smiled and said, "You should get some rest."
After saying that, Wenzhu left with the people who had finished moving the things. Ye Xinning stood there, not knowing whether Wenzhu had listened or not.
She had a headache. When she returned to the room, she looked at all the things scattered around and the servants didn't know what to do with them.
"Miss, what are these things?"
"Let's move upstairs."
Ye Xinning hesitated before speaking. They couldn't really just throw these things away. Although Shen Lin might not be short of money, it wasn't something that came out of thin air.
"Yes, miss."
Ye Xinning went upstairs to her bedroom, and her phone rang as soon as she entered.
She picked up her phone and glanced at the number. It was both familiar and unfamiliar; it was none other than Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning thought of Shen Lin's arrogant demeanor when she left, and felt angry. She didn't want to answer Shen Lin's call at all.
She hung up the phone, grabbed her clothes, and went to take a shower.
When she came out again, the phone was still ringing.
She thought it was Shen Lin, but when she picked up the phone, the caller ID showed Cheng Yu Huai.
Ye Xinning thought it must be something work-related, so she quickly answered the phone.
"Hello, Director Cheng."
Cheng Yuhuai's voice came from the other end of the phone, light and with a smile, "Are you busy? It took you so long to answer the phone."
"I just went to take a shower."
"OK."
Ye Xinning took the initiative to ask, "Director Cheng, is there something you need for this call at this hour?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Cheng Yuhuai asked with a smile. "Also, it's not working hours now, so isn't it a bit too formal for you to call me Director Cheng?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She pursed her lips, wanting to speak, but not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, Cheng Yuhuai was a tactful person, and his joke was limited to just this one sentence.
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I called you to tell you that the law firm has taken on a case, an economic one, and the client is from Nancheng. I thought you happen to be in Nancheng, so I guess this case will have to be assigned to you."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, we're calling you to ask for your opinion, since you're returning to Nancheng on vacation."
Ye Xinning readily agreed without much thought, “Of course, no problem. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go back to Nancheng and miss work, so I can make up for it by handling this case.”
“Okay, I’ll have someone compile the relevant case materials and send them to you in the next few days. Take a look at them first, and then I’ll arrange for your client to meet with you.”
"OK."
After finishing the business, Ye Xinning thought the call should end there, but Cheng Yuhuai spoke again, "It's cold in Nancheng, Xinning, take care to keep warm and don't get sick."
This was clearly not a superior speaking to a subordinate. Ye Xinning held the phone in one hand and tugged at the corner of her lips.
"Thanks."
"How about I come to see you in the south of the city after I finish what I'm doing?"
Cheng Yuhuai asked the question "Is it good or bad?" with great caution.
Ye Xinning knew that her words at this moment were very important to Cheng Yuhuai. If she wasn't careful, she might hurt Cheng Yuhuai's feelings deeply.
Ye Xinning was well aware that being too soft-hearted at the wrong time would only give Cheng Yuhuai a bad impression.
"Director Cheng is busy with work, and Jiangcheng and Nancheng are far apart, so it's best not to make too much of a trip." She spoke slowly, her tone polite but distant, and upon closer listening, there was a hint of indifference in it.
Cheng Yuhuai is a sensible person; how could he not understand Ye Xinning's meaning?
He felt disappointed and said wistfully, "You really don't give me a single chance."
"Director Cheng is a talented young man and deserves better."
"To me, right now, you are the best."
"Then it can only be said that Director Cheng has a misconception."
Cheng Yuhuai knew that Ye Xinning's personality couldn't be reasoned with in just a few words. He sighed deeply, "Fine, since you don't want me to go to Nancheng, then I'll wait for you to come back in Jiangcheng. Xinning, you won't not come back, will you?"
No, it won't.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should get some rest. Goodnight."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone with Cheng Yuhuai, Ye Xinning opened her social media app. There were new friend requests in her contacts, so she clicked on them to take a look.
It's a blank profile picture with the note "Chen Lin".
Ye Xinning ignored it, put down her phone, glanced down at her sleeping daughter, covered her with the blanket, and then lay down.
...
The next morning, Ye Xinning woke up early because she was going to the hospital to see Ye Rouxin, and she asked the kitchen to prepare some nourishing soup.
When she went upstairs to her bedroom, she saw Ye Zhimu sitting on the bed, holding her phone and talking on the phone.
"Yes, my mother isn't here. You can tell me if there's anything you need."
"..."
"I understand."
"..."
"I don't know? Do you want to come find my mother?"
Hearing the sounds coming from the room, Ye Xinning walked over.
Whose call was it?
Upon hearing her voice, Ye Zhimu looked up and immediately hid the phone behind his back with a guilty expression.
"without."
Ye Xinning saw everything and understood without much thought.
Give me your phone.
"Mother."
Ye Zhimu pouted.
"Give me."
This time, Ye Zhimu was no longer stubborn and gave her the phone, but she still looked at her pitifully.
Ye Xinning looked down and saw, sure enough, it was Shen Lin calling.
She held the phone without saying a word, but the person on the other end probably knew that the phone was in her possession.
"What were you busy with just now?"
Ye Xinning said irritably, "I'm busy making room for you and Ye Zhimu to talk."
"Are you angry?" Shen Lin's voice came from the phone, seemingly with a slight smile.
"I'm not angry. Is there anything else, Mr. Shen? If not, I'll hang up now."
