"It's getting late, Uncle, you should head back soon too. We're leaving now." After saying that, Shen Lin led Ye Xinning toward the car.
Huo Yanzhi was left standing there, suppressing his anger and clenching his fists.
In the car, Ye Xinning was roughly thrown into the passenger seat by Shen Lin. Throughout the journey, Shen Lin did not utter a sound, and the car sped along.
Back in the bedroom, before Ye Xinning could react, Shen Lin pushed her onto the bed. The next second, the man pressed down on her, restraining her hands so she couldn't move.
"He's only been back in the country for a few days, and you're already so impatient?"
Ye Xinning had been keeping him company all night and was exhausted; she had no mood to talk to him anymore.
"Let me go."
Seeing that she was avoiding the topic, Shen Lin's anger intensified.
She and Huo Yanzhi had an inextricable entanglement in the past, and now that Huo Yanzhi has just returned, they are already in close contact. Just thinking about this makes him furious, a kind of inexplicable anger rising in his heart.
He pinched her chin, his tone icy, "Ye Xinning, you really have a heavy taste. You even went after your stepfather's brother, your nominal uncle. Should I say you have no sense of propriety or shame, or that you violate public order and good morals?"
His blatant distortion of the truth and his utter insults left Ye Xinning speechless with anger.
She struggled beneath the man, wanting only to get away.
Shen Lin began to undress her, "So eager for a divorce? Can Huo Yanzhi satisfy you?"
Seeing the anger and desire mingling in the man's eyes, Ye Xinning instantly understood what he wanted to do.
She glared angrily at Shen Lin, struggling incessantly, "Shen Lin, you're insane, let me go!"
The more she struggled, the more Shen Lin felt that her resistance was only because of Huo Yanzhi.
"Do you think I'll let you go so you can go find Huo Yanzhi? Impossible, absolutely not. Ye Xinning, as long as I don't agree to a divorce, you'll never get rid of me for the rest of your life."
Ye Xinning did not want to recall the details that followed.
When Shen Lin left her, she felt pain all over her body.
Especially her chest area, it felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, the pain almost making it hard for her to breathe.
Shen Lin went to the bathroom.
She lay on the bed, completely naked.
With her last bit of strength, she pulled the blanket over herself, trying to preserve the little dignity she had left, which had been trampled upon by Shen Lin.
Shen Lin quickly came out of the bathroom and came to her side.
I'm getting ready to carry her to take a bath.
Ye Xinning shrank back a little. "No need, you go to sleep."
Seeing her lying on the bed, her face so pale, as if she had no life, Shen Lin felt a strange feeling in his heart.
But in the end, he said nothing, turned around, and went to the guest room.
After Shen left, Ye Xinning finally had some peace and quiet. She didn't linger and packed her things to leave the Shen family home.
I ran into Xi Yuan, who was coming downstairs to get water, when I went downstairs.
Xi Yuan was surprised to see her carrying so many bags.
What happened?
Noticing that Ye Xinning's eyes were a little red, Xi Yuan asked worriedly, "Did Shen Lin bully you?"
Ye Xinning pursed her lips and said with some difficulty, "Aunt Xi, I have made up my mind to divorce Shen Lin. Please help me tell my father that I will stay outside for the next few days. Once Shen Lin agrees to the divorce, we will go through the divorce procedures."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, she ignored Xi Yuan's attempts to stop her and walked outside with her belongings.
...
Ye Xinning left the Shen family late at night, not returning to the Ye family or visiting friends, but instead going to a hotel under the Ye Group.
She didn't register with her own ID card, and no one knew her itinerary.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Ye Xinning asked her law firm boss for the next day off, turned off her phone, went into the bathroom, and didn't come out for almost an hour.
I slept until noon the next day.
She opened her phone and, sure enough, saw a lot of calls.
Mother's, Shen Lin's, Huo Yanzhi's, Shen Yu's.
Ye Xinning held her phone, hesitated for a long time, and then called Shen Yu back.
The call was quickly answered, and Shen Yu's calm and powerful voice came through: "I know about what happened last night. I've already taught Shen Lin a lesson. That bastard did something utterly incompetent."
Mentioning Shen Lin, Ye Xinning felt a pang of pain in her heart. She forced a smile and replied, "Dad."
"you say."
"When I married Shen Lin, there were many things I hadn't considered. Now I understand that we're not a good match, so let's get a divorce."
Shen Yu neither gave permission nor directly refused.
“Xinning, I know that what Shen Lin did recently has upset you, and I understand that you don’t want to go home for the time being. Then stay outside for a few days and come back home when you’ve calmed down. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer then.”
Ye Xinning remained silent.
Shen Yu was probably busy, so he gave her a few more instructions and quickly hung up the phone.
Sitting on the bed with her phone in hand, Ye Xinning sighed.
Shen Yu did not want her to divorce Shen Lin. On the one hand, Shen Yu had always been good to her as her daughter-in-law. On the other hand, she probably also considered that the divorce would have a negative impact on the Ye and Shen families.
As she thought about these things, her feelings became even more complicated.
Just then, the receptionist called, and she answered.
"Miss, Mr. Shen is here." The receptionist's voice was flustered and apologetic on the phone. "Mr. Shen's attitude was very firm, and we couldn't stop him at all. He's already upstairs."
Ye Xinning frowned.
"I see."
She got up. After being tormented by Shen Lin last night and spending too much time in the bathroom at the hotel, she was starting to feel unwell.
She was wearing a coat when there was a knock on the door from the outside, which was then opened.
Ye Xinning had long guessed that he would have a room key. The identity of the president of the Shen Group really made Shen Lin seem omnipotent.
She sat in the recliner, looking at him.
Compared to her breakdown and despair last night, she now possessed an almost eerie calm.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" Shen Lin walked in, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" Ye Xinning laughed. So this was what she was doing with Shen Lin.
"Mr. Shen's sudden arrival, does it mean you're willing to get a divorce?" She cut straight to the point, immediately bringing up the topic of divorce.
"impossible."
"It's nothing." She didn't react much to his words. From the time she brought up divorce until now, he had refused. Ye Xinning knew that in this man's heart, freedom was far less important than revenge against her.
After all, he hated him so much.
"According to the law, couples who have been separated for more than two years can file for divorce."
Chen Lin's jaw tightened. He squatted down, placed his hands on her shoulders, and almost gritted his teeth.
“If I don’t agree, you’ll still be wasting your time, let alone two or even twenty years.”
A cold glint flashed in Ye Xinning's eyes because of his contact.
She looked up, met his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly whispered.
"Shen Lin, you will regret treating me like this."
