When the topic of Mo Shenjing came up, Ye Xinning lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
Song Zhengchu also realized that bringing up the silent scene at this time might hurt Ye Xinning's feelings.
Just as Song Zhengchu was about to say something, Ye Xinning spoke up, "Since he's been by Shen Lin's side, his personality might become more like Shen Lin's."
Song Zhengchu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ye Xinning to bring up this matter so naturally.
"You've met with Mo Jing?"
Ye Xinning nodded, "He wasn't feeling well a few days ago, and Shen Lin took him to the hospital for a checkup. We met there, but I didn't tell him who I was, and he didn't know either. He just thought of me as an ordinary aunt."
“In the past four years, Shen Lin has not been very close to him. In fact, he has spent most of his time with Xi Yuan and Shen Yu.”
Ye Xinning knew this.
The photos and videos that Su Wan brought her were mostly taken at the Shen family's old house, and Shen Lin was hardly ever seen there.
As they were discussing, Ye Zhimu tilted her head back and asked, "Mom, who are you talking about?"
For Ye Zhimu, the name "Silent Scenery" was completely unfamiliar.
Song Zhengchu and Ye Rouxin both looked at Ye Zhimu and said with a smile, "Mumu, are you so curious?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning lowered her head, thought about it carefully, and answered, "Chen Mojing is Mu Mu's brother."
"elder brother?"
Ye Zhimu asked in surprise, "I have an older brother?"
"Okay, I'll take Mumu to play with her brother in a few days," Ye Xinning said gently, patting Ye Zhimu's head.
"Okay, it's settled then."
...
That evening, after Ye Zhimu went to bed, Ye Xinning came down to the living room to get a drink of water and happened to run into Song Zhengchu, who had just returned from making a phone call.
"Is Mumu asleep?"
Ye Xinning nodded and asked, "Why isn't Daddy asleep yet?"
"I got a phone call and we talked for a while."
Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, without asking who had made the call.
Song Zhengchu took the initiative to speak, "The call was from Ji Jianshen, asking about your situation."
Ye Xinning had never heard anyone mention the name Ji Jianshen since he left four years ago.
Hearing that name from her father again now, she felt mostly calm, without any turmoil.
This kind of tranquility is more of a sense of relief from letting go.
"Then Dad told him that I was fine."
Song Zhengchu simply smiled and said, "Why don't you tell him yourself?"
"There's no need."
How could Song Zhengchu not know what she was thinking? In the end, she still didn't want to contact Ji Jianshen.
“I told him that you’re doing great now, with such a lovely daughter as Mu Mu. In the four years since you left Nancheng, you’ve truly become the person you wanted to be.”
"Well, looking back now, I'm actually glad I made that decision."
"What about Mo Jing? You told Mu Mu today that you'd take her to see her brother another day. Have you thought it through? Do you want to acknowledge Mo Jing as your brother?"
Ye Xinning lowered her eyes; she had thought this through very clearly over the past few days.
"Yes, I used to torment myself because of Jiang An's situation. I felt that the fact that Chen Mojing was born from Jiang An's womb was a thorn in my side, which is why I left for four years. But in those four years, it wasn't just me and Shen Lin who were hurt. Chen Mojing is just a child. He couldn't decide his own birth, nor could he change the consequences of Jiang An's malicious actions. No matter what, the child is innocent. Even if I resent and hate them, it's only Jiang An and the others who shouldn't have let Chen Mojing have such a bad childhood."
The past four years are indeed irreparable, but in the future, she doesn't want the adults' entanglements to affect a child who can't do anything.
"Think things through and do what you need to do. Four years has been a worthwhile time to see things clearly. But what about Chen Lin? Does he have any thoughts of getting back together?"
complex?
Ye Xinning's first reaction upon hearing this was to shake her head repeatedly, "I never thought of that."
"Shen Linna, do you really not want to turn back?"
"I don't have the courage anymore." After a long silence, Ye Xinning finally uttered these words.
Song Zhengchu knew that Ye Xinning and Shen Lin had gone through countless things together, and her current thoughts were only natural.
"We never interfere with your decisions, as long as you're happy."
"I see."
...
Having decided to meet with Chen Mojing, Ye Xinning first called Xi Yuan and Shen Yu.
After explaining the situation, Shen Yu learned that Ye Xinning had left while pregnant, and that she not only didn't abort the child but also gave birth to a lovely granddaughter for them. He was both happy and guilty.
Ye Xinning said she wanted to take Ye Zhimu to the Shen family, and Shen Yu readily agreed, saying she would arrange for someone to come and pick them up.
But Ye Xinning refused, saying there was no need to make things so complicated; the Ye family driver was there, so there was no need for such trouble.
On the day they went to the Shen family, Ye Xinning told Ye Zhimu early on that they were going to her grandparents' house, and also gave Ye Zhimu a general overview of the situation at the Shen family's house.
Now that they've returned to Nancheng, and Ye Zhimu is Shen Lin's daughter, this relationship can't be severed no matter what.
and……
When she was still with Shen Lin, Shen Yu and Xi Yuan treated her very well.
She had no reason not to let Ye Zhimu acknowledge them.
Ye Rouxin had originally planned to accompany them to the Ye family's gate.
Ye Xinning said, "Mom, you should rest at home. We'll be back later tonight."
"Call me if anything comes up."
"good."
Ye Xinning was holding Ye Zhimu's hand, and just as they were about to get into the car, a familiar car appeared in their sight not far away.
Bentley.
Who else could it be but Shen Lin?
Ye Xinning wondered, why would Shen Lin be here?
As Ye Xinning looked on in confusion, the car stopped in front of them, and then Shen Lin got out of the car.
He greeted Ye Rouxin first, and then came over to them.
Ye Zhimu remained as enthusiastic as ever, addressing him as always, "Hello, Uncle! What brings you here, Uncle?"
Shen Lin didn't seem to mind Ye Zhimu calling him "uncle." He patted Ye Zhimu's head and said softly, "I've come to pick you up to go play at my house. Do you want to come?"
"Is there anything fun to do?"
"There is an older brother, grandparents, and lots of Lego."
Speaking of Lego, it's Ye Zhimu's absolute favorite. Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Mom, there's Lego."
Ye Xinning, “…” So when did Shen Lin find out about Ye Zhimu’s crazy obsession with Lego?
Let's go.
Shen Lin reached out his hand to take Ye Zhimu's hand.
Ye Zhimu turned around and glanced at Ye Xinning, then placed her hand in Shen Lin's large hand, and Shen Lin picked up his daughter and walked forward.
Ye Xinning, "..."
