Chapter 114 Unnecessary Misunderstanding
Xu Shao's expression froze instantly. He carefully examined the smile on Ye Wanqing's face that seemed to show genuine indifference, and his heart was filled with confusion.
How can it be?
How could she be so indifferent?
If she really didn't care, how could she and Lin Xuan end up parting ways?
Xu Shao tried hard to calm his inner turmoil, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ms. Ye is really an acting talent. Whether you care or not, I am afraid only God and you know."
He paused for a moment, then spoke in a more serious tone: "But if Lin Xuan heard this recording, Miss Ye's peaceful life would probably be over."
Xu Shao's words finally touched upon the point. Ye Wanqing pursed her lips slightly. She was dressed lightly, with only a thin base shirt and sweater under her coat. The cold wind made her feel chilled to the bone.
Just as she was about to respond, Ye Wanqing suddenly noticed a black car slowly approaching.
She was slightly stunned. It seemed to be Lin Xuan's car.
Sure enough, the car stopped quickly, the door opened, and a man in a dark windbreaker walked out.
Ye Wanqing looked past Xu Shao and fixed her gaze on Lin Xuan, who had just gotten out of the car. Her expression was complex and indecipherable. "Mr. Xu, do you really dare to let Lin Xuan listen to the recording?"
Xu Shaozheng was complacent, thinking he had something on Ye Wanqing, but he didn't expect her to suddenly ask him back.
He sneered: "Miss Ye's question is really ridiculous. What should I not dare to do?"
Ye Wanqing raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth: "Then please ask Mr. Xu to give it to him now."
Xu Shao was completely enraged by Ye Wanqing's attitude and gnashed his teeth and said, "Ye Wanqing, don't think that I—"
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Shao's words were interrupted. He turned around and saw that Lin Xuan had been standing behind him with a cold look in his eyes.
Xu Shao subconsciously tightened his grip on the phone: "Boss Lin."
He never expected Lin Xuan to appear suddenly.
Xu Shao glanced at Ye Wanqing secretly, but the expression on her face was still unreadable.
"Miss Ye, I have some personal matters that I would like to ask for your help."
Lin Xuan spoke directly to Ye Wanqing, as if Xu Shao was air.
Xu Shao ultimately didn't dare play the recording in front of Lin Xuan. He said timidly, "Ms. Ye, I've made my words very clear. I'll give you three days to think it over."
"I won't withdraw the lawsuit in three days."
After Ye Wanqing finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Xuan and said, "Let's go in."
The wind outside was too cold and she didn't want to stay there any longer.
Lin Xuan glanced at Xu Shao, and seeing Ye Wanqing walking towards the villa, he followed closely.
Xu Shao looked at the backs of the two men, feeling unwilling.
He kicked the goalpost in anger, but accidentally set off the alarm.
Ye Wanqing stopped at the corner and turned back to say to Xu Shao, "Mr. Xu, there is a surveillance camera at the door."
After saying that, she walked into the villa without looking back.
Lin Xuan also turned around to look at Xu Shao, who was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
The villa was as warm as spring, and Ye Wanqing shivered several times as soon as she entered the door.
Lin Xuan asked with concern: "Xu Shao came to see you because of Xu Xinyi's matter?"
Ye Wanqing sniffed lightly and responded, "Yeah."
She went to the kitchen to wash her hands, brought out two cups of steaming hot coffee, and handed one to Lin Xuan: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Lin Xuan took the coffee and took a sip: "My mother's back pain has recurred recently."
Ye Wanqing had just taken a sip of coffee when she heard this and frowned, "Why did it happen again?"
When Ye Wanqing first married into the Lin family, Lin's mother often suffered from back pain. Medication had little effect and she needed regular physical therapy.
To alleviate Mrs. Lin's insomnia, Ye Wanqing would accompany her whenever she sought treatment from the respected traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. After months of diligent study, she finally mastered the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner's exquisite massage techniques.
The old Chinese doctor's skills were passed down from generation to generation in his family. The reason why he was willing to teach everything he knew was largely because Ye Wanqing, as a member of the Lin family, was moved by her deep affection for her family.
Ye Wanqing devoted more than three months of hard practice. Gradually, whenever Mrs. Lin was troubled by headaches caused by insomnia, she no longer had to go to the old Chinese doctor. Ye Wanqing could use her skillful hands to relieve her pain.
With the help of Chinese medicine, Mrs. Lin's headache frequency has been significantly reduced.
In the year when her marriage with Lin Xuan came to an end, Mrs. Lin had so many headaches that she could almost count them on one hand.
Lin Xuan stared at Ye Wanqing, a hint of worry in his eyes: "The housekeeper said that the old lady has been tossing and turning at night recently."
"Poor sleep quality will naturally cause headaches." Ye Wanqing knew why Lin Xuan came, but she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lin family and no longer had the same identity and responsibilities as before.
Lin Xuan seemed to see through her thoughts: "I know you and the old lady have a deep relationship. She is old, and headaches are an unbearable pain for her."
"If it's inconvenient for you to go back to the Lin family, I can arrange for the housekeeper to pick up the old lady and bring her to your place."
Ye Wanqing rarely heard Lin Xuan speak to her in such a gentle tone, even with a hint of imperceptible pleading.
She looked up at the man opposite her in surprise: "How many times has the old lady had a headache recently?"
"This is the third time this month." There was a hint of helplessness in Lin Xuan's voice.
Ye Wanqing was silent for a while: "Did it happen again last night?"
"Yes." Lin Xuan's answer was brief and heavy.
Ye Wanqing knew very well that massage was not a temporary solution for a headache. The reason why Mrs. Lin's symptoms were relieved was inseparable from her persistence and dedication day after day.
This was also one of the reasons why Mrs. Lin did not blame her too much after learning that she and Lin Xuan were divorced. People are all made of flesh and blood, and Mrs. Lin knew very well what Ye Wanqing had done for the Lin family.
Seeing that Ye Wanqing was no longer talking, Lin Xuan said softly: "If you have any requests, feel free to ask."
Ye Wanqing raised her head and looked at him firmly: "I have one condition."
"Please speak." Lin Xuan's voice was gentle and sincere.
"You are not allowed to be present when I go to the Lin family to give the old lady a massage." Ye Wanqing's tone was filled with unquestionable determination.
Lin Xuan instantly understood Ye Wanqing's intention, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart: "I promise you."
"I'll be there this afternoon." After Ye Wanqing said this, she stood up and made a gesture to see the guest off.
Lin Xuan's hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched. He slowly stood up and looked at her with deep and complicated eyes: "Are you so repulsed by me now?"
Ye Wanqing shook her head gently, her eyes filled with indifference: "It's not rejection, I just don't want to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings."
Although her answer was tactful, her attitude was firm, which meant that she didn't want to have any more entanglement with him, even if it was just rumors.
Lin Xuan felt a heaviness in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart: "I understand."
