After returning to Jiangcheng, Ye Xinning's daily life consisted of going to work, coming home, and occasionally picking up and dropping off Ye Zhimu at kindergarten.
During this period, Shen Lin never came to Jiangcheng again, nor did he contact him again.
Perhaps he had truly made up his mind to move forward, or perhaps her attitude made him feel that there was no need to persist any longer.
In the first few days after returning to Jiangcheng, Ye Zhimu would ask her when Shen Lin would come to Jiangcheng to see her.
Ye Xinning replied that her father would come when he had time.
Time passed day by day, but Chen Lin never came.
Later, Ye Zhimu stopped asking. Ye Xinning guessed that Ye Zhimu must have found out something; her little brain was so clever.
Ye Xinning never directly explained her decision to Ye Zhimu, but she thought Ye Zhimu would support her no matter what she did.
She was just wondering if it was a bit unfair to Ye Zhimu; this thought popped into Ye Xinning's mind.
She began to wonder if bringing Ye Zhimu back to Jiangcheng was the right decision.
...
On this day, when it was time to leave work, Ye Xinning packed her things and prepared to go home.
At that moment, Cheng Yuhuai suddenly knocked on her office door, "Attorney Ye."
Ye Xinning looked up at Cheng Yuhuai and asked in confusion, "Director Cheng, is there something you need?"
"There's a dinner party tonight. You and Attorney Qin will come with me. We have a few questions to discuss on the way."
Since it was a work assignment, Ye Xinning nodded, "Okay, Director Cheng."
Unable to leave work on time, Ye Xinning took out her phone and called the housekeeper to ask her to pick up Ye Zhimu.
During the dinner, Cheng Yuhuai spoke to her and Qin Yuchu from time to time. Ye Xinning looked at the empty seats at the table and wondered who was coming.
"The collaboration we're discussing today is a very good one. If it goes through, our law firm will gain a very important resource."
As Cheng Yuhuai spoke, he told Ye Xinning and Qin Yuchu what to do.
Ye Xinning listened intently, so much so that she didn't notice the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer.
The first to see the newcomers was Cheng Yuhuai. He stood up and looked at the group of people who came in. "Mr. Shen and Miss Bai, you've arrived. Please come in."
Mr. Shen...
Ye Xinning froze. She slowly turned her head, and when she saw that the person standing at the door was indeed Shen Lin, she was stunned again.
She had thought that she and Shen Lin might have a chance to meet again, after all, they shared a daughter and a son.
But she didn't expect that when they met again, they would be sitting together in different capacities to discuss cooperation.
When did Shen Lin arrive? Why is she collaborating with Cheng Yu Huai's law firm? How come she didn't know anything about it before?
Ye Xinlin had some doubts in her mind. She lowered her head, her thoughts wandering.
"I'm sorry, Attorney Chen, there was some traffic on the road. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for Mr. Chen and me."
The woman standing next to Shen Lin spoke, her demeanor dignified and elegant, her voice commanding. Cheng Yuhuai smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Miss Bai, you're being too kind. We've only just arrived. Oh, and I haven't introduced you yet. This is Attorney Qin, and this is Attorney Ye." As Cheng Yuhuai spoke, she introduced them to the people opposite her.
"Attorney Qin, Attorney Ye, this is Miss Bai Yueshu, and this is Mr. Shen Linchen from Nancheng."
Ye Xinning kept her head down and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
At this moment, Bai Yueshu looked at her and said, "This must be Attorney Ye. I've heard so much about you. Many people in Jiangcheng say that any case handled by Attorney Ye has never failed."
"Miss Bai is too kind. It's just that the cases I've been given are more suitable for me."
"Attorney Ye, you're too modest. You're good-looking and so capable; you must have many suitors."
The topic suddenly shifted to personal life. Qin Yuchu smiled and said mysteriously, "Of course, Miss Bai may not know, but our Director Cheng really admires our Lawyer Ye."
"Really? Attorney Cheng, does that mean good things are just around the corner?"
The conversation was getting more and more outrageous. Ye Xinning looked up at Cheng Yuhuai, her expression was calm, but her eyes already showed displeasure.
Cheng Yuhuai knew her personality well, and simply smiled at Bai Yueshu's question. "Miss Bai is quite the humorous person. Let's talk about work first. As for my personal matters, if there is any good news, I will definitely inform Miss Bai in time. I hope Miss Bai will give me the honor of knowing."
"That's for sure. We'll just have to wait for Attorney Cheng's good news."
And so the topic ended there, and everyone took their seats.
Ye Xinning had Cheng Yuhuai to her left and Qin Yuchu to her right, while Shen Lin was sitting directly opposite her. She could see the man's cold and handsome face as soon as she looked up.
During the meal, Bai Yueshu talked the most with Shen Lin. She would occasionally lean down to ask Shen Lin about the cooperation, and then ask him if the food suited his taste. Their conversation was very natural.
Even someone as aloof as Shen Lin would occasionally reply when Bai Yueshu asked him questions.
He was very different from the person Ye Xinning remembered.
She had never seen Shen Lin interact with his female business partners before, but now that she saw Bai Yueshu, she seemed to understand.
Every woman Shen Lin encounters under his identity is outstanding, and probably every one of them will develop feelings of admiration for him.
Ye Xinning didn't know whether Bai Yueshu liked Shen Lin or not, but throughout the whole process, Bai Yueshu was indeed very enthusiastic and caring towards Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning had little appetite, so she used her phone to search for information about Bai Yueshu.
Bai Yue, the eldest daughter of the Bai family in Shujiang City, works in the advertising industry.
Baidu's description also says that Bai Yueshu has many suitors, but she has never been in a relationship with any of them. In Bai Yueshu's own words, she already has someone she likes.
Ye Xinning began to wonder who Bai Yueshu actually liked. Was it the one sitting in front of her?
With so many things on her mind, Ye Xinning was stunned for a second before she reacted when Bai Yueshu spoke to her again.
"Attorney Ye, you didn't live in Jiangcheng before. I'd like to ask where you were before? Were you also working as a lawyer there?"
From Bai Yueshu's words, it can be seen that Bai Yueshu really didn't know about her relationship with Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning pursed her lips, her smile faint. "The past is the past. If Miss Bai is interested, you can learn about what has happened since I came to Jiangcheng."
