Ye Ling didn’t understand why Xiang Weilai would say that, but because of his words, she really didn’t dare to move. Xiang Weilai was always a steady person and never said anything useless. Since he asked like that, sothing must have been up at that mont.
When she saw the person in her arms who was about to jump out suddenly freeze, an amused glint flickered in Xiang Weilai’s eyes. But it disappeared quickly, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. Ye Ling, on the other hand, was lost in thought over what Xiang Weilai had said and naturally didn’t notice.
Xiang Weilai’s smile didn’t last long before he spotted the figure in gray clothing not far away, and he said softly, "Alright, no more joking. Soone’s here to see you. Get yourself together; you wouldn’t want others to see you in such a ssy state."
Ye Ling turned her head to look at him, wondering why Xiang Weilai’s deanor changed so suddenly. But prompted by his words, she glanced back and found no ti to think about anything else. She nimbly got down from Xiang Weilai’s arms, sat on the bench, and put on the coat draped over her. Seeing her torn clothes gave her a mont’s pause, but she quickly put the clothes on and combed her hair. The person who had co was already before her.
"What a coincidence, running into Uncle Shen here," Ye Ling deliberately emphasized the words "Uncle."
Looking at Shen Bin, who stood upright and proper in front of her, Ye Ling felt inexplicably irritable. It seed that no matter the ti, since her rebirth, Shen Bin always bumped into her whenever she had misfortune. Just like now, with her bruised and battered appearance and the incident that just occurred, he stood like a telephone pole before her, his chiseled face expressionless. It was unclear if he knew what had happened to her.
Even if he knew, so what? She was the one who suffered, not him. Who was his angry face for?
Shen Bin’s imposing presence was hard to ignore as he frowned, "I’m here to take you to resolve this. When you cause trouble, it must be dealt with. Let’s go."
"How did I cause trouble? Yes, I know you look down on , but so what? Once sothing happens, it’s all my fault in your eyes. I’m the bad person, the one in the wrong. Why should I listen to you? My affairs are not your concern. Go do whatever you need to, and don’t make call you ’Uncle.’ You’re really taking yourself for my uncle." If she hadn’t been beaten up so badly, Ye Ling might have delivered these lines with more force. But in her current pitiful state, her tone was completely off.
Having lived two lifetis, Ye Ling admitted when facing Shen Bin that he was a man, exuding a unique masculine coldness. But the burden he had from the last life, especially after discovering post-rebirth that the one he liked was Ye Qian, made Ye Ling’s guilt toward Shen Bin disappear. They owed each other nothing, and there was no need for further involvent.
Given the entanglents between them, it was difficult for Ye Ling to face Shen Bin normally.
Xiang Weilai sat nearby like an outsider, observing their actions with an amused expression. Especially seeing Ye Ling in such a state, he nearly couldn’t hold back a chuckle.
The last ti Shen Bin saw Ye Ling was in early February, which ant it had been a few months. In Shen Bin’s eyes, Ye Ling was a troublemaker from the start, and now she had beco the emblem of trouble. Wherever she was, trouble would follow. That was his understanding. He couldn’t fathom why this little girl harbored such great resentnt towards him as if he had wronged or provoked her. The last ti he t with Bai Hehua in the park, he’d only glanced back once when leaving and didn’t see clearly. Encountering her again now and seeing her bullied look befuddled him.
Shen Bin’s gaze scanned over Ye Ling. Since their first eting, she’d always shown stubbornness, from the family squabbles to the present. A year had passed, and she hadn’t changed. She remained as obstinate as ever.
When facing Ye Ling’s cold disdain, Shen Bin took it in stride.
At this point, Ye Ling’s words rely deepened Shen Bin’s frown, "Are you going to walk with , or should I carry you?"
Ye Ling’s eyes widened, but she couldn’t utter the words, "You dare."
The unyielding Shen Bin wouldn’t make idle threats. Despite hating Shen Bin’s intimidation, Ye Ling wanted to resist, but for so unknown reason, she couldn’t summon the resolve now.
In contrast to Ye Ling’s glaring glare, Shen Bin was much calr, steadfast like a block of wood with no visible change.
Unable to reach a decision, Xiang Weilai stood up, turning to Ye Ling, "If Uncle Shen ca to handle this, your father must be too busy. He’s probably worried and asked Minister Shen to help. Head over to the police station to make a statent. We certainly can’t let those punks get away so easily."
Standing with her back to Ye Ling, Xiang Weilai winked at her.
Ye Ling understood this was giving her an out. Besides, a wise person knows when to compromise. Ye Ling grasped this logic. Moreover, if Shen Bin had to carry her, it would be even more deaning. After weighing the options, she took Xiang Weilai’s cue, stood up, thanked him, and followed Shen Bin.
Watching them leave, the smile on Xiang Weilai’s face faded as he shoved his hands into his pockets, whistling as he strolled towards the courtyard. He hadn’t actually left the park but had found a seat near the park exit by a small grove. He hadn’t expected soone would really find them.
Seeing the green jeep parked by the roadside, Ye Ling quipped, "Uncle Shen is quite impressive, having a car ready whenever you go out."
As she watched Shen Bin pull the car keys from his pocket, Ye Ling was puzzled. How co she didn’t know he could drive in the last life? Then again, since they’d hardly exchanged words from marriage to divorce, she hadn’t paid any attention to him. Not knowing was unsurprising.
Ye Ling tugged open the back door, but before she could climb inside, Shen Bin, already in the front, said, "Sit in the front passenger seat."
Ye Ling glared at him.
Without even looking at her, Shen Bin got into the car and stated, "Explain everything from start to finish. You bit off a piece of the deputy mayor’s son. You certainly have your sights set high, biting off just those with status."
Deputy mayor’s son?
Ye Ling thought of the thug with the perd hair. The mayor had such a bastard son, and so it had alard the entire company?
Without much thought, Ye Ling took off her coat, adjusted her clothes and hair, and directly sat in the car, "Drive."
The mayor’s son, sothing big happened today. It’s also necessary to make him pay a price. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welco to cast recomndation votes and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
