What happened last night, Huo Yanzhi did that to her, she hates Huo Yanzhi to the core.
Huo Qijun, the man who ruined her parents' marriage, the man who repeatedly plotted against her, these two men of the Huo family—she resented them, she hated them, she didn't want to have any contact with them, she only hated that she couldn't make them repay the suffering she had endured.
She had just begun to recover from her grief when her mother brought Huo Qijun to the Shen family home.
Ye Xinning's hands, hanging limply at her sides, clenched tightly, her whole body trembling with anger.
But Ye Rouxin was completely unaware that something was wrong with her emotions.
She sat down on the sofa next to Ye Xinning and immediately asked about what happened last night, "Ningning, what happened last night? How could you be so impulsive as to do such a thing?"
Ye Xinning had long anticipated Ye Rouxin's purpose in coming, but why did she bring Huo Qijun along?
Is it because she injured Huo Yanzhi last night that she brought Huo Qijun here to confront him?
Sometimes she really wanted to ask if Ye Rouxin was really her biological mother, otherwise why would she disappoint and hurt her so many times?
"So, you've come here to confront me and demand an explanation?"
Ye Rouxin didn't want her to speak in such a harsh tone, and said somewhat displeasedly, "You did something wrong and I'm not allowed to ask? Do you know how badly Yanzhi is injured? This is simply ridiculous."
"Seriously injured?" Ye Xinning lowered her eyes, a chilling smile playing on her lips, her voice as cold as bloodlust. "Is that so? Is he dead?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Rouxin's expression changed drastically, and she raised her hand to slap Ye Xinning.
Ye Xinning saw her movement but didn't move away. She just stared at Ye Rouxin with those cold, emotionless eyes.
Meeting her gaze, Ye Rouxin, who was initially angry at her for her outspokenness, couldn't bring herself to slap her, her heart softening while feeling somewhat annoyed.
What's wrong with her? Why is she hitting Ye Xinning again?
This is her daughter. She felt guilty ever since she hit Ye Xinning last time, so why would she want to hit her again?
She lowered her hand, composed herself, and wanted to say something to Ye Xinning, but Ye Xinning was already chilled by her previous action. "What, weren't you going to hit me? Why did you put your hand down?"
Ye Rouxin moved her lips, wanting to say something, but before she could speak, Huo Qijun spoke first, "Ningning, we're not here to interrogate you, we just want to know what happened last night. If it was Yanzhi's fault, then I'll go back and teach him a lesson."
"Don't say such hypocritical things. Do you think I'm a child?" A look of disgust flashed across Ye Xinning's eyes. She didn't believe Huo Qijun's words.
The reason why Kenneth Fok pretended to be a good person in front of her and said these things was just to put on a show in front of her mother, so as to completely portray her as unreasonable, vicious, narrow-minded and intolerant of him.
Huo Qijun looked a little embarrassed after hearing what she said, as if it was really because of Ye Xinning's words.
Ye Rouxin softened her tone and said softly, "Ningning, I'm sorry. I was just too emotional just now. I didn't really mean to do anything to you, nor did I come to interrogate you. I just want to know what happened last night, why... you came home in the middle of the night and had such a big argument with Yanzhi."
"I don't want to talk about it." She was extremely indifferent; with Huo Qijun present, how could she possibly say anything?
Moreover, her mother has never trusted her, not in the past, and she is now convinced that nothing will change.
Why are you so stubborn?
Paranoia...
Ye Xinning's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, surged violently again because of those two words. She clenched her hands tightly, digging them into her flesh. The more it hurt, the more lucid she became.
“I always wonder why I didn’t go with my dad back then.”
Ye Rouxin's body stiffened, and she looked at her in disbelief, "What are you saying?"
Ye Xinning closed her eyes, then opened them again, the chill within them only intensifying. "Why didn't I go with Dad when he left Nancheng? Why did I compromise because of Grandpa and because of you? I regret it. Do you understand?"
If she had left Nancheng with her father back then, none of those things would have happened. She wouldn't have continued to see Huo Yanzhi, Huo Yanzhi wouldn't have developed any so-called feelings for her, and she wouldn't have had to go through all those things time and time again.
Ye Xinning didn't want to talk to Ye Rouxin anymore. The increasingly strained mother-daughter relationship was exhausting her. She was tired and didn't want to deal with these arguments anymore.
She got up to go upstairs.
Ye Rouxin's emotions were far from calm; in fact, they were quite bad. Every time Song Zhengchu was mentioned, she became angry and couldn't control her emotions. What's more, Ye Xinning had just said that she wanted to follow Song Zhengchu back then.
"Stop." Ye Rouxin grabbed Ye Xinning's hand to stop her from leaving. She stood up and came to Ye Xinning's side, looking directly into her eyes. At that moment, neither of them was at peace.
When people are impulsive, they are prone to saying some irrational things, just like she did to Song Zhengchu back then, and just like now, she said fiercely and angrily to Ye Xinning.
"You want to go with him? Ha! How ridiculous! Does he even want you? Song Zhengchu never intended to take you with him. If he did, why would he have planned ahead and left secretly without giving you any news all these years? Do you know what you are to him? A burden, a drag on his child. He doesn't love you, his daughter, at all. Don't you know he doesn't want you?"
Ye Xinning could barely stand. With each word Ye Rouxin uttered, her face grew paler and paler until it was completely bloodless.
She kept shaking her head. "No, no, Dad clearly told me that he had to take care of some things and it was inconvenient for him to take me with him. He said he was worried about you and Grandpa, so he asked me to stay with you. Otherwise, you would be very sad and miss me if I left. It's definitely not what you said."
She refused to believe a word Ye Rouxin said, and kept backing away, completely lost and confused.
Just a second before she was about to fall down the stairs, a man appeared behind her and she fell into his arms.
The man's broad chest and familiar scent made her completely let down her guard.
She turned around and buried herself in Shen Lin's arms. At that moment, tears soaked Shen Lin's shirt.
She spoke in a low, strained voice, "Let them go, I don't want to see them."
Shen Lin held the woman in his arms tightly, never expecting that he would come out into this situation after just holding a meeting in the study.
When did Su Wan leave?
When did the Ye family arrive?
What did they say? Why was Ye Xinning so emotional?
Shen Lin had many questions in his mind, but clearly, now was not the time to ask them.
