Ye Xinning arrived at the place she had arranged to meet Bai Yueshu. She went inside, but what she didn't expect was that Bai Yueshu had made an appointment with someone else before meeting her.
And that person was Shen Lin.
Ye Xinning looked at Bai Yueshu and Shen Lin not far away.
Shen Lin sat with his back to her, while Bai Yueshu sat opposite him.
Ye Xinning curled her lips into a smile, but her eyes remained calm. From this angle, the two of them truly looked like a perfect match.
Bai Yueshu wore a dignified and elegant dress, her makeup was tight, and her hair was tied up in a bun. Perhaps because she worked in advertising, Bai Yueshu gave people the feeling of being gentle yet resilient, not at all like a pampered young lady raised in a greenhouse.
As for Shen Lin, he was still wearing a black custom-made suit, and his hair was styled meticulously. Even just his back view was enough to attract attention.
Ye Xinning stood still for a long time without making a move.
Just then, Bai Yueshu raised her head.
Upon seeing her arrive, Bai Yueshu stood up from her seat and greeted her politely, "Attorney Ye is here."
Ye Xinning smiled and said lightly, "If Miss Bai has anything else to say, we can talk about it later."
At this moment, Shen Lin also raised his head.
When he saw that it was her, he remained calm and composed, as if he really didn't recognize her.
His gaze lingered on her briefly before quickly shifting away.
Bai Yueshu spoke again, pointing to a seat by the window, "I'm so sorry, Attorney Ye, Mr. Shen and I still have some things to discuss. Could you please wait for me over there for about ten minutes, please?"
After a brief silence, Ye Xinning said, "Of course, no problem."
After saying this, Ye Xinning nodded slightly and then walked towards the seat furthest from the window.
Sitting in her seat, Ye Xinning turned her gaze away and looked out the window. What Bai Yueshu and Shen Lin were talking about was none of her business.
Bai Yueshu said ten minutes, and it really did take about ten minutes. Ye Xinning saw her stand up and say goodbye to Shen Lin.
The man left without ever glancing in her direction.
Then Bai Yueshu walked towards her with a big smile, and started talking as she sat down.
"I'm so sorry to have kept Attorney Ye waiting. There's nothing I can do. Mr. Shen is quite busy, and the things we're discussing are quite important, so it took a little longer than expected."
Ye Xinning shook her head, seemingly unconcerned. "Miss Bai has things to do. We can actually reschedule for another time."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I really like Attorney Ye. I also know a bit about the cases she's handled. Attorney Ye is excellent, and I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant."
"Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Bai. It's been a pleasure doing business with you."
The two then discussed matters related to legal counsel. Ye Xinning also pointed out some key points, but Bai Yueshu did not offer any opinions.
Finally, the two signed an agreement.
"If anything happens after that, please contact me immediately, Ms. Bai."
At the end of the conversation, Ye Xinning politely said to Bai Yueshu.
Bai Yueshu nodded.
"Of course, I'll have to trouble Attorney Ye a lot more in the future if anything comes up."
"Miss Bai, you're too kind."
Ye Xinning thought the conversation should end here, since everything had been said.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yueshu suddenly said, "Attorney Ye, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Ye Xinning looked up at Bai Yueshu with a puzzled expression, "Miss Bai, please just say what your question is."
"Attorney Ye has seen more people and has more experience. I want to ask, Attorney Ye, what do you think of Mr. Shen?"
Ye Xinning almost spat out the water she had just drunk; she really hadn't expected Bai Yueshu to bring up Shen Linlai with her.
She held the cup for a long time without saying a word, and Bai Yueshu thought she didn't know who she was talking about.
"Look at me, I'm so clueless. How could Attorney Ye, as an outsider, know who I'm talking about, Mr. Shen? It's Shen Lin, the one you just saw."
Ye Xinning cleared her throat, organized her thoughts, and then spoke.
"Mr. Shen is a handsome and distinguished man, and very outstanding."
What she said was what outsiders could see, but what Bai Yueshu wanted her to say was what she wanted to hear.
"So, do you think we're a good match?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
She was right; Bai Yueshu really did have feelings for Shen Lin.
But when asked these questions, Ye Xinning couldn't help but wonder if it was all preordained or something. If Bai Yueshu knew she was Shen Lin's ex-wife, she probably wouldn't have been able to ask her such questions, and it would have been difficult for her to sit down and talk to her calmly.
"Miss Bai is beautiful, generous, gentle and charming, and has her own career. She is an independent and strong woman. You are very outstanding."
As for whether Shen Lin would like it, Ye Xinning didn't say. She wasn't a mind reader, so how would she know if he liked someone like Bai Yueshu?
"Attorney Ye, it seems like you're only speaking from my perspective. Do you think someone like Mr. Shen would like me?"
Her words were evasive, but Bai Yueshu wasn't stupid; how could she not understand? She continued to ask.
Ye Xinning, "..."
This is a question that absolutely needs an answer, right?
"Judging from your identities and jobs, you and Mr. Shen are a good match. As for other things, I'm sorry, Ms. Bai, I cannot give you a definite answer, as that is beyond my capabilities."
Bai Yueshu crossed her arms, her smile unchanged. "Are all lawyers as serious as Attorney Ye? Well, I know I made things difficult for Attorney Ye. It's just that this is the first time I've met someone so interested, and I inevitably lost my composure a bit."
From Bai Yueshu's words, it's clear that she likes Shen Lin very much.
Ye Xinning looked down at her palms and suddenly wondered if Bai Yueshu's feelings for her were one-sided, or if Shen Lin felt the same way about her.
"Alright, it's getting late, so I won't keep Attorney Ye any longer. I wish us a pleasant time together from now on."
Bai Yueshu stood up while packing her things, and Ye Xinning also stood up. "Okay, then I'll be going now, Miss Bai. If there's anything else, please call me."
"Okay, Attorney Ye, goodbye."
After parting ways with Bai Yueshu, Ye Xinning headed towards the garage.
The timing was perfect; she went to pick up Ye Zhimu.
After picking up Ye Zhimu, Ye Xinning took her home. On the way home, Su Wan called.
He said he was in Jiangcheng on business and invited her to dinner. She thought she didn't have anything else to do, so she decided to have dinner with him.
