Upon arriving at the private room, Ye Zhimu suddenly came over, took Ye Xinning's hand, and said, "Mom, we had breakfast this morning..."
Ye Xinning frowned deeply.
Ye Zhimu happened to touch the spot where she was injured.
Shen Lin noticed the unusual expression on Ye Xinning's face. He quickly pulled Ye Zhimu away and lifted Ye Xinning's wrist, immediately revealing the burn marks on her wrist.
Shen Lin instantly raised his head and looked at Ye Xinning.
Aunt Xi and her two children also saw it.
Aunt Xi said with surprise and heartache, "Oh my god, Ningning, what happened to you? It looks like a burn. How did you get that?"
"Mom, did I hurt you just now? I'm sorry, I didn't know." Ye Zhimu looked at Ye Xinning with guilt, looking like she had done something wrong.
Silent Jingye looked at her carefully and asked, "Mommy, does it hurt?"
Ye Xinning didn't want to make a fuss about such a small matter. "It's nothing, it's not a big problem, don't worry."
Shen Lin held her hand tightly and spoke with a deep gaze.
"What's going on?"
Ye Xinning tried to pull her hand back, "It's okay, it's really okay, I just accidentally got it."
"Ye Xinning".
Shen Lin's voice suddenly became more intense, clearly because she was angry about her concealment.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips, but still didn't say anything. She secretly felt this was her business and there was no need to tell Shen Lin.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Lin simply stopped asking.
I called and asked Wenzhu to send over the best burn ointment.
Ye Xinning said softly, "No need, Shen Lin, I've already applied the medicine myself."
Shen Lin, however, completely ignored her.
Ye Xinning, "..."
Not long after the meal, Wenzhu brought over some ointment. In front of everyone, Ye Xinning was pulled aside by Shen Lin to have the ointment applied.
This intimate yet awkward scene made Ye Xinning feel extremely uncomfortable, and she had no idea how things had turned out this way.
Fortunately, after applying the medicine, Shen Lin didn't say anything more and went out with Wen Zhu.
Ye Xinning breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the private room, Wen Zhu whispered to Shen Lin, "President Shen, we've found out what you asked us to investigate."
"Hmm, tell me about it."
"Madam's case involves an artist named Tong Shier. The other party in this case is a film and television company, as well as the popular star Yang Zihan."
"So, who caused her injury?"
"Today, Madam went to meet with the opposing lawyer. Yang Zihan and Tong Shier were also there. The two sides argued, and Yang Zihan picked up the water in the teacup and threw it at Madam."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lin's expression turned quite grim. Wen Zhu cautiously continued, "Tong Shi'er was about to throw it back, but was stopped by Madam. In the end, Tong Shi'er slapped Yang Zihan."
Shen Lin's voice was chillingly cold, "Yang Zihan? A celebrity, is she?"
"Yes, Ms. Shen, she is one of the female celebrities who has been generating a lot of buzz lately."
Shen Lin gave a solemn order, "Investigate this person's background and remove all resources from her control."
Wen Zhu was slightly taken aback, then immediately replied, "Okay, President Shen."
With Shen Lin taking action, Yang Zihan's reputation is practically ruined.
I bet Yang Zihan will regret it when she finds out. The identity behind the seemingly insignificant lawyer she mentioned is someone she wouldn't dare offend even if there were ten of them.
...
That evening, Shen Lin drove Ye Xinning and her daughter back to the Ye family home. Even though Ye Xinning refused several times, Shen Lin stubbornly refused to change his mind.
Because Ye Zhimu was present, Ye Xinning didn't want to make the situation too ugly.
Along the way, Ye Zhimu fell asleep in the back seat, while Ye Xinning stared blankly at the scenery rushing past the car window.
The car stopped in front of the Ye family's house, and without a doubt, Shen Lin once again played the role of a good father.
He carried Ye Zhimu inside and placed her directly on the bed in the bedroom. Since the other person was Ye Zhimu's father, Ye Xinning couldn't say anything more.
Standing at the door of Ye Zhimu's bedroom, Ye Xinning crossed her arms and watched as Chen Lin tenderly covered Ye Zhimu with a blanket.
To some extent, Shen Lin is a good father.
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when Chen Lin arrived in front of her.
What are you thinking about?
Ye Xinning snapped out of her reverie upon hearing the sound, and her first reaction was to shake her head, "It's nothing."
She was unwilling to admit that she had indeed been daydreaming during those moments.
Shen Lin placed the burn ointment in her hand, "Three times a day, don't forget."
"Actually, I bought the medicine myself," Ye Xinning said helplessly, looking at the ointment in her hand.
Shen Lin did not respond to her words.
Instead, he looked into her eyes, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is this how it is around me? How much injustice did you suffer in those four years? When others bully you like this today, do you still swallow your anger and endure it silently?"
Ye Xinning licked her lips and tried to explain the situation to Shen Lin.
“I didn’t let her bully me at the time. I just felt that in that situation, it was more important to endure it. As long as I endured it, I would definitely win the case.”
Is winning the case that important to you?
Ye Xinning immediately replied, "Of course it's important. Miss Tong has suffered a lot of injustice in this case. As her client, I can only succeed and cannot fail."
Shen Lin stared at her intently for a long time before finally giving in, "No one else can bother me except you."
...
The next day, Ye Xinning had nothing to do. Ye Zhimu was playing with building blocks, while she was sitting on the sofa browsing the news.
A headline that suddenly appeared made her stop looking.
—Brands xx and xx successively terminated their contracts with popular actress Yang Zihan.
—The TV series xx has been released, and the female lead, Yang Zihan, has been replaced.
Such news left Ye Xinning's hands, resting on the keyboard, unsure how to move.
She casually clicked on a few comments, and the discussions below were all very lively.
—What happened to this big star, Yang? How did she lose so many endorsements and resources in a row?
—Wasn't it a hot topic not long ago?
—Didn't you know? It seems the movie she starred in involves copyright infringement issues, and she's currently in a lawsuit.
—Do you think she must have offended some important person by suddenly encountering so many things?
Some onlookers were discussing it intensely, and Ye Xinning's attention was drawn to the words "big shot".
With so many things happening together, it's practically impossible to call it a coincidence.
Ye Xinning thought of Shen Lin's sudden concession last night.
He didn't ask any further questions because he had already looked it up himself.
So, were all of Yang Zihan's actions done by him?
Ye Xinning had doubts in her mind, and all of these doubts pointed to Shen Lin. She didn't want to guess in circles, so she took out her phone and dialed Shen Lin's number directly.
