The two looked in the direction of the sound, and when they saw who it was, Ye Xinning frowned.
Huo Yanzhi's sudden arrival alerted her. She looked at Mu Yinjing, and sure enough, Mu Yinjing clenched her hands and her eyes began to dart away.
Ye Xinning tried to remind her, "Miss Mu, you promised me."
Mu Yinjing pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
Huo Yanzhi strode towards them, step by step. He was smiling, but that smile was particularly eerie.
He approached Ye Xinning, stopped, looked at Ye Xinning, but spoke to Mu Yinjing.
"What should we talk about?"
Even if Mu Yinjing admired Huo Yanzhi, she could still tell from what Huo Yanzhi did to Ye Xinning how ruthless this man was.
"I didn't say anything," she said, unwilling to admit it.
Huo Yanzhi was still smiling, and he even took Mu Yinjing's hand, saying, "I bought you a gift. Do you want to come with me to the car and see if you like it?"
Mu Yinjing stared at him in shock and disbelief. "What did you say? You bought me a gift?"
"Um."
Mu Yinjing had never seen Huo Yanzhi so gentle before. This was the first time he had spoken to her so gently since their marriage was dissolved.
"Okay." She admitted that she was not sober at that moment, under Huo Yanzhi's deliberately created gentleness.
No matter how much time passes, she remains completely subservient to the man before her.
Seeing that Mu Yinjing was about to leave with Huo Yanzhi, Ye Xinning hurriedly spoke up.
"Miss Mu."
Mu Yinjing ignored her completely, but Huo Yanzhi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Ningning?"
"Huo Yanzhi, what are you afraid of? Why don't you let her finish speaking?"
"What do you want to say?" He acted as if he knew nothing, and even as he finished speaking, he looked down at Mu Yinjing. "What do you want to say to Ningning?"
"I won't say anything."
"Did you hear that, Ningning?"
Ye Xinning closed her eyes in despair. Huo Yanzhi left with Mu Yinjing. She stood there, barely managing to suppress her anger.
The more Huo Yanzhi tried to hide the truth from her, the more curious she became.
She needs to know, no matter what means are used.
Ye Xinning's eyes flashed with a cold light. Since she couldn't find out from them, she would start from other places.
Thinking of this, Ye Xinning called Wen Yu.
The call was quickly answered, and Wen Yu's voice came through, "Young Miss."
"Aunt Wen." She held the phone and walked outside while talking.
"Yes, Miss, please go ahead."
"I need Aunt Wen's help with something. Is it convenient for Aunt Wen to go back to Nancheng?"
Wen Yu was surprised, not expecting her to say that. "Why do you suddenly want me to go back to Nancheng? Has Miss encountered some trouble?"
Ye Xinning paused slightly before speaking, "About what happened back then, during my time in the hospital."
"Is Miss referring to the time when the scar on her hand was forcibly removed?"
"Yes, Huo Yanzhi has returned to China. I've discovered that what happened back then wasn't just what I knew, but I can't find out anything." Ye Xinning said with some frustration at the end.
Wen Yu naturally obeyed her arrangements unconditionally, saying, "Miss, don't worry, I'll investigate when I get back."
"Okay, then thank you for your help, Aunt Wen."
"It's not hard work, but if I go back, there will be no one to keep an eye on things here."
Ye Xinning held the phone, and after a brief silence, she calmly said, "There's no need to keep an eye on him. If Shen Lin really wants to do something, it won't matter whether I find someone over there or not."
"So, Miss means that I should withdraw the surveillance here and return to Nancheng?"
Ye Xinning nodded seriously, then realized that Wen Yu couldn't see her, so she whispered, "Aunt Wen, please come back. Given the current situation, there are many things that I can't easily investigate myself, so only Aunt Wen can come back and help me."
"Okay, I'll return to China as soon as possible, and we can talk in detail when we meet."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning looked into the distance and involuntarily fell into memories.
Back then, after she broke up with Shen Lin, she was imprisoned in the basement by Huo Yanzhi. That period was the darkest time of her life.
She lost Shen Lin one after another, experienced pain and torment, and also lost her maternal grandfather who had always loved and doted on her. Huo Qijun took her father's place and stood by her mother's side. What was she thinking at that time? The world was so unsatisfactory, and she was in so much pain in Nancheng, so why should she stay here any longer?
She abandoned everything in Nancheng and left, originally thinking that time could heal everything. Now it seems that she had oversimplified things.
Some pain can never be forgotten.
Since we don't want her to forget, let's all investigate thoroughly and take revenge on each other.
Ye Xinning composed herself, opened her eyes, and prepared to return to the law firm.
But after taking only a few steps, someone grabbed his wrist.
"sister in law."
Ye Xinning turned around and saw Shen Nanxing.
Ye Xinning asked in surprise, "Nanxing, what are you doing here?"
Shen Nanxing complained, "Don't even mention it, my mom made me come here for a blind date."
"A blind date?" Shen Nanxing's words surprised Ye Xinning greatly.
If it's a blind date, what about Chi Zhao?
"How about it?"
Shen Nanxing knew perfectly well why she was surprised. He sighed and said, "Chi Zhao doesn't like me. It seems there's no point in me persisting."
"Would you be content with finding someone through a blind date?"
Shen Nanxing looked at her without saying a word.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Xinning immediately understood what she meant. "So, you're just here to appease your aunt?"
Shen Nanxing gave a thumbs up, his face full of smiles as he spoke, "As expected, you, sister-in-law, understand me perfectly."
Ye Xinning let her hold her hand and laughed, "I knew you wouldn't go on a blind date so easily."
“If I don’t go, my mom will keep arranging things for me. I just thought I’d come to make do, but I have a little trick up my sleeve. No one will be interested in me.”
Ye Xinning knew without much thought what her little tricks were.
"What about you and Chi Zhao?" Ye Xinning asked in a low voice, looking into the distance.
"I don't know either," Shen Nanxing sighed deeply. "But there will come a day when he falls for me."
Ye Xinning was somewhat at a loss for words. She admired Shen Nanxing's courage, but also felt that Shen Nanxing had suffered too much.
In other words, Shen Nanxing is waiting for an uncertain future.
"Won't you regret it?" She didn't know why, but she suddenly asked this question.
Shen Nanxing stopped and asked her, "And you, sister-in-law, have you ever regretted marrying my brother?"
