"Mom, you can take that piece of land to the south."
Ye Rouxin held the phone, unable to recover from Shen Lin's words for a long time.
Time passed second by second, and she finally regained her voice.
"Why? I had someone assess it before, and your Shen Group is determined to get this land."
"Since Mom knew I was determined to have her, why did she still go to her?"
Who she is is self-evident.
Ye Rouxin composed herself, realizing that Shen Lin's question wasn't really about wanting her answer, but rather...
I need her attitude.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think this through."
Shen Lin remained silent. Ye Rouxin couldn't fathom his thoughts and didn't speak either.
After a long pause, Shen Lin's voice came from the other end of the phone, "In the future, you can just contact me directly for things like this, without having to go through her."
...
Ye Rouxin remained silent for a long time after hanging up the phone.
Xia He sat down beside him and cautiously asked, "Chairman Ye, how did your conversation with Miss Ye go?"
"Not very good."
When Ye Xinning was mentioned, Ye Rouxin looked tired and helpless. "Because of that piece of land in the south, she is very resistant to me now."
“Miss is just having a momentary emotional outburst. You are her mother, and there will never be a permanent rift between you,” Xia He comforted her.
Ye Rouxin was very clear that her relationship with Ye Xinning was more than just this little bit of grudge.
“She has always been bothered by the fact that I sent her away back then. I know that no matter how much time has passed, she will still blame me for sending her away from Nancheng.”
"But if we hadn't sent the young lady away back then, she would have..."
"Alright." Xia He's words were interrupted by Ye Rouxin, who frowned.
Xia He knew that Ye Rouxin was saying this because she didn't want her to say it.
She sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy for Ye Rouxin, and said, "You sent her away back then for Miss's sake, but Miss has always held a grudge against you. Why didn't you tell her about the situation back then?"
Ye Rouxin rubbed her temples. "There's no need to tell her. It's all in the past anyway."
Xia He wanted to say something, but Ye Rouxin waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
She told Xia He what Shen Lin had said on the phone and instructed Xia He, "Make arrangements and prepare well for the auction. If Shen Lin makes concessions, we must get this land."
Xia He was surprised, "President Shen agreed to make concessions?"
"Um."
"I thought hiring a prostitute wouldn't work, but it seems that a single word from her can change Mr. Shen's mind."
Ye Rouxin narrowed her eyes, "After a year of marriage, how could there really be no feelings left?"
"Yes, it would be great if we could get this land. Not only can we make up for the loopholes with the He Group before with this project, but we can also use this project to do some other things."
Ye Rouxin also breathed a sigh of relief. She had given up hope on this project, but she didn't expect Shen Lin to agree. This was exactly what she wanted.
...
I got off work in the afternoon.
Ye Xinning had just stepped out of the office when Xiao Chen walked over.
"Are you leaving?"
"Uh-huh."
Ye Xinning looked up at him. "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"No, just letting you know in advance, there's a dinner party tomorrow night, you'll be coming with me."
"good."
"Okay, that's all. You can go home now."
After parting ways with Xiao Chen, Ye Xinning walked out of the law firm and saw the car across the street as soon as she stepped outside.
Wenzhu got out of the car and walked towards her.
"lady."
Ye Xinning looked at the car over there, and then saw Wenzhu coming over. She already roughly understood what was going on. "Is Chen Lin in the car?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen wants you to come over."
“I drove myself, so I didn’t need him to pick me up.”
"It's alright, I'll drive your car home for you."
Ye Xinning had no choice. Shen Lin was just that kind of domineering person. He always seemed to like to arrange things all at once.
"Thank you for your help."
She thanked Wenzhu and then walked towards Shen Lin's car.
Opening the passenger door, she saw Shen Lin's profile. The man looked straight ahead, his expression unchanged by her arrival.
Ye Xinning didn't beat around the bush; what they needed most was directness.
Why are you here?
"What, don't you want to see me?" Shen Lin lowered his voice, turned his head, and looked at her.
"I am flattered." Those four words clearly expressed her meaning.
"You are Mrs. Shen, why should you feel flattered?"
"Mrs. Shen, do you love me?"
Shen Lin didn't speak, looked away, and started the car.
Ye Xinning was not surprised at all; this was the normal course of events.
"You came to pick me up, is there some mission you have?"
"Nanxing is organizing a party to celebrate her promotion, and she wants me to bring you along."
Ye Xinning understood.
So Shen Nanxing got promoted. That's definitely something to celebrate.
Shen Nanxing treated her very well, and she really had no reason to refuse.
Where should we meet?
"A bar for quiet listening."
Ye Xinning nodded.
Shen Lin drove towards the bar. She turned her head and stared blankly out the car window. It was unexpected that Shen Lin would mention Jiang An.
Why didn't you ask me about that phone call last night?
Ye Xinning paused, then smiled faintly, "There's nothing to ask."
"You don't care?"
"Does it matter whether I care or not?" she asked seriously.
Her reaction was indifferent, without much emotional fluctuation, which Shen Lin saw as her complete indifference.
Shen Lin's expression darkened, and he didn't speak again until he arrived at Shen Ting's bar.
Upon arriving at the bar, Shen Nanxing was already there. Seeing them, Shen Nanxing ran over and affectionately took Ye Xinning's arm.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so slow?"
"The law firm is quite far from here."
Shen Nanxing nodded in understanding, then looked at Shen Lin and asked, "Big brother, why do you have such a sullen face?"
Shen Lin did not answer Shen Nanxing's question. He glanced at Ye Xinning and strode inside.
Shen Nanxing, "..."
She looked at Ye Xinning with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you acting so strangely?"
Ye Xinning shook her head; she truly didn't know.
Shen Lin's emotions rarely changed, and she rarely noticed what he was thinking at any given time.
Shen Nanxing asked in a low voice, "Did you two have a fight?"
Ye Xinning thought about their conversation in the car earlier. Was it an argument? It shouldn't be considered one.
"He called Jiang An yesterday, probably because he was worried about Jiang An being alone there."
"What? He's still in contact with Jiang An? That's too much! Sister-in-law, how can you tolerate this? If I were you, I'd tear Jiang An apart."
