When Ruan Yuan and the other person were mentioned last night, Ye Xinning stopped reading.
"Thanks."
Shen Ting smiled gently, "Sister-in-law, you're too kind. But I was just saying that the woman was Jiang An's friend. It's true what they say, like attracts like."
Shen Ting has always been straightforward in her speech, without much beating around the bush, but she regretted it after saying it this time.
He wished he could bite off his own tongue; how could he possibly mention Jiang An in front of his sister-in-law?
He carefully observed Ye Xinning's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no significant change in Ye Xinning's expression.
"I'm so sorry, sister-in-law."
Ye Xinning just smiled faintly, her gaze fixed on the book in her hands.
"fine."
She was already used to it; it was just mentioning Jiang An's name. If a mere name could make her feel melancholic, then she might have died several times over from anger because of Shen Lin and Jiang An's relationship.
"By the way, did you tell your older brother about what happened last night?"
"No." There was no need to tell Shen Lin.
Shen Ting, however, did not think so. "Sister-in-law, you should tell your brother that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can't bully you."
"Do you think I was bullied yesterday?" Ye Xinning asked, her lips pursed.
Shen Ting, “…”
That seems to be true. Yesterday, my sister-in-law didn't suffer any losses. On the contrary, that woman was turned green with anger by my sister-in-law's retort.
However, that doesn't mean I can't tell my older brother about this.
Shen Ting moved her lips, wanting to say something, but before she could speak, Shen Yu and Xi Yuan came downstairs.
Therefore, this topic had to be put to an end.
...
After having breakfast, Ye Xinning set off for the law firm.
When she arrived at the office, her colleague told her, "Attorney Ye, Mr. Xiao wants you to go see him."
"I?"
Ye Xinning was puzzled. What could she want to see her about so early in the morning?
She arrived at Xiao Chen's office and pushed open the door to go inside.
"You were looking for me?"
There was another person in Xiao Chen's office. The woman was wearing high heels and a light blue suit. She was elegant and beautiful, but her back was to Xiao Chen, so Xiao Chen couldn't see her face.
"It's nothing major, just letting you know that the assistant I found for you has arrived."
As soon as Xiao Chen said that, the woman opposite him turned her head.
When Ye Xinning saw the woman's face clearly, her expression was one of disbelief.
"Smile."
The woman in front of him smiled and walked towards Ye Xinning.
"sister."
The two embraced. Even someone as aloof and indifferent as Ye Xinning couldn't control her emotions when she saw her long-lost relatives, and her joy was overflowing.
Ye Xiaoxiao, her cousin's daughter, is also the person she is closest to among the younger generation of the Ye family.
A few months ago, Ye Xiaoxiao received an admission letter from a foreign university to study for a Master of Laws degree abroad.
She originally thought she wouldn't see Ye Xiaoxiao for a long time, but unexpectedly, the reunion came so quickly and in such a way.
"What happened? Didn't you go abroad to study? Why are you back?"
“Studying abroad is no fun at all. I didn’t like it, so I came back,” Ye Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly.
"You mean you dropped out of school?"
"Um."
Ye Xinning frowned, never expecting that Ye Xiaoxiao would drop out of school.
Does your uncle know that you dropped out of school?
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head. "Not yet. I want to wait until my job is stable before I tell him. By then, he will be more accepting."
Ye Xinning still found it somewhat unbelievable. Although it was inappropriate to say these things in front of Xiao Chen, she still said, "Xiaoxiao, your uncle arranged for you to pursue a master's degree in law. Isn't it a bit irrational for you to drop out of school and come here to be an assistant lawyer?"
“There’s nothing irrational about it. I don’t like life abroad. Rather than wasting time there, I’d rather come back sooner and gain more practical experience.”
Ye Xinning didn't speak, but looked at her with complicated eyes. Ye Xiaoxiao, however, took her hand and said, "Okay, sister, aren't you happy that I'm here to work with you? I can help you."
"How could I not be happy that you're here?" Ye Xinning sighed. She was just worried that her uncle would be furious if he found out about this.
"As long as you're happy, let's go to your office then. Let's not bother Mr. Xiao here."
Xiao Chen nodded. "Go ahead. To make your work easier, I'll have someone add a desk for Ye Xiaoxiao in your office."
Xiao Chen clearly already knew about Ye Xiaoxiao's relationship with her. Ye Xinning saw that they had made all the decisions, and there was nothing she could do but take Ye Xiaoxiao to the office.
Back in the office, Ye Xinning gave Ye Xiaoxiao a brief introduction to her work. Although Ye Xiaoxiao didn't have much work experience, she was very diligent in learning. Ye Xinning gave her the relevant materials, and she studied them carefully for a whole morning.
Later that afternoon, Ye Xinning took the initiative to call Shu Chaoyu, and she had new conditions regarding Miss He's case.
When she arrived at the meeting place with Ye Xiaoxiao, Shu Chaoyu was already there.
When she saw a junior assistant following behind her, Shu Chaoyu's expression froze for a moment, and she smiled meaningfully.
"I didn't expect Attorney Ye to find an assistant so quickly."
Ye Xinning raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "What you're unwilling to do, someone else is naturally willing to do."
Shu Chaoyu leaned back in her chair, her emotions shifting at those words.
But having been in the legal profession for several years, she quickly composed herself and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, speaking deliberately.
