Aunt Wen was also curious about this matter.
“That’s right, why doesn’t Mr. Shen help? If Mr. Shen had helped, it wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.”
Ye Xinning lowered his eyes and spoke after a long while, "Keep an eye on Mu Mingwei and let me know if there's any progress."
"good."
After chatting with Aunt Wen for a while, Ye Xinning felt a little tired and was about to go upstairs to rest when a servant suddenly came over at the door.
"Miss."
Ye Xinning nodded. "What's wrong?"
"Miss, at the door, Young Master Qin Xiang has arrived."
Qin Xiang?
Ye Xinning had almost forgotten about this name and didn't know why Qin Xiang had suddenly appeared again.
"Did they say who they were looking for? Was it still my dad?"
"Looking for a lady."
Ye Xinning didn't want to see him, but considering that this was the Song family manor, there was nothing Qin Xiang could do.
...
Ye Xinning was sitting in a chair basking in the sun when Qin Xiang came in, looked at her, and whistled.
"Oh, I was so pleased with how carefree you seemed. I had imagined that when I saw you again, you would be crying your eyes out every day."
Ye Xinning slightly raised her head to look at Qin Xiang, who still had that same irreverent look. Ye Xinning looked away, fiddled with her fingers, and said casually, "You didn't come here just to see if I'm crying every day, did you?"
What do you think?
Ye Xinning wasn't interested. "Say it or don't, I don't care."
After Ye Xinning finished speaking, Qin Xiang laughed, "You're stronger than I thought. However, I came to you to make a deal."
trade?
Ye Xinning looked up and asked, "What kind of deal can we make?"
"I'll tell you something you're interested in, and you'll have to do me a favor."
Qin Xiang's words were vague, and Ye Xinning was still wary of what he had done last time.
"You're telling me things that interest me? I don't believe you. You might be setting some trap for me to fall into."
"I know what you came to France for, isn't it to investigate Mu Mingwei? I can tell you, but only if you help me with this."
"You need to show sincerity before negotiating. Has no one told you this before?"
"Mu Mingwei and Mu Chaochao have met. Does this count as my sincerity?"
Ye Xinning was stunned. Qin Xiang's words stirred up a storm in her heart. "What did you say? Who did Mu Mingwei meet?"
"Mu Chaochao. That's the person who went to work at your law firm in Nancheng before."
Ye Xinning clenched his hands, his gaze deep.
Mu Chaochao.
Previously, Mu Chaochao suddenly arrived in Nancheng and abruptly resigned from the law firm. It turns out that problems had already arisen at that time.
She thought about the day she went to the Chi family's party...
She almost got into trouble, but after questioning, they couldn't figure out who had taken Chi Zhao's phone.
Now everything becomes much clearer.
Mu Chaochao and Chi Zhao's brother are longtime friends, so it wouldn't be too difficult for her to go up to the second floor of the Chi family's house and get Chi Zhao's phone from his bedroom.
"How did you know about Mu Chaochao's meeting with Mu Mingwei?"
"To be honest, Mrs. Gu is quite cautious. She actually arranged to meet someone at a church. But sometimes things just happen to be so coincidental. That church is actually managed by a friend of mine."
Ye Xinning smiled and looked at Qin Xiang, "Speaking so cryptically, it seems you know what they talked about?"
What do you think?
Ye Xinning and Qin Xiang looked at each other. She knew that Qin Xiang meant that he had shown his sincerity, but what about her?
"What do you need my help with?" Ye Xinning asked casually, closing the book in her hand.
Qin Xiang said, "I need my uncle to come to my house. My mom wants to see him."
Ye Xinning shook her head. "Impossible. My dad said he will never see your mom again in his life."
“If you speak up, this matter is not so absolute.”
Ye Xinning became curious, "Did your mother send you?"
"no."
"Don't you hate my father? Why are you willing to say these things?"
“I hate him, but that doesn’t conflict with me letting him visit my mother.”
Ye Xinning didn't believe these words.
“I will talk to my dad, but whether he goes or not is his own decision. As for the content of Mu Mingwei and Mu Chaochao’s conversation, you can talk about it if you want, or you can not talk about it if you don’t want to. I don’t necessarily need to know.”
Knowing that Mu Chaochao and Mu Mingwei were related, some things could be deduced naturally, and the previous suspicions about Mu Mingwei became even more certain.
Qin Xiang was not expected Ye Xinning to be so calm. He was furious. "Since that's the case, I'm not going to tell you. You can guess for yourself."
After saying that, Qin Xiang left.
Ye Xinning remained seated. Aunt Wen watched Qin Xiang leave, then approached Ye Xinning and said, "Miss."
"Aunt Wen, let's arrange to meet Mu Mingwei," Ye Xinning suggested.
Aunt Wen asked in surprise, "Do we need to meet?"
“Actually, by now I’m certain that Mu Mingwei is not innocent. As for why she did this and why she hates me so much, all the investigations have only scratched the surface. In that case, let’s meet her.”
I want to meet her and see why Mu Mingwei did this, and why she set up such a big scheme.
"Okay, miss, I'll make the appointment right away."
...
Ye Xinning met Mu Mingwei at a coffee shop.
This was the second time she had seen Mu Mingwei. The various events that had happened in recent days had made Mu Mingwei less detached from worldly desires than the last time. She looked much more tired than when they last met.
The two sat facing each other.
Ye Xinning looked at the person in front of her and found it unbelievable that she could still sit so calmly opposite Mu Mingwei after so many things had happened.
After sitting down, Mu Mingwei was the first to speak. She took a small sip of tea and said, "I didn't expect that so much would have happened since we last met."
Ye Xinning tugged at the corner of her lips and looked at Mu Mingwei, "Didn't you expect this, Aunt? I thought everything was going according to your plan."
Mu Mingwei smiled, "I just didn't expect you to be pregnant, or that Shen Lin would love you so much."
Ye Xinning and Mu Mingwei looked at each other for a long time before speaking.
"So, is Jiang An one of Auntie's people?"
"yes."
Mu Mingwei's quick agreement surprised Ye Xinning for a second.
Mu Mingwei continued, "What, isn't this the answer you wanted? You asked me to meet you to talk about these things, didn't you?"
"Jiang An is Auntie's person? What about Xia He?"
"They are also my people."
"So, you're saying that all the things my aunt did weren't aimed at Shen Lin, but at me and my mother?"
"You're not entirely foolish, it's just a pity that you've poured your heart into Shen Lin and only now realize all this, it's too late. How is it, Ye Xinning? It hurts to be betrayed by the one you love, doesn't it? Even if you don't mind, they're still Shen Lin's child. Doesn't it feel like your heart is aching beyond repair?"
