Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Lin Tinghan had once told Si Nian that Xie Jingyao was the one who tampered with Feng He's affairs, but Si Nian was skeptical at the time.

However, on the day of the press conference, she encountered Xie Jingyao, lost the best opportunity to discuss the project, and was also splashed with dirty water.

He even claimed to be the one who committed the crime, fearing she might be frightened.

How could the person who stepped forward to save her without hesitation at the critical moment be the mastermind behind all of this?

Most importantly, if all of this was indeed arranged by Xie Jingyao, then the press conference was his most important moment, so how could he have voluntarily been arrested at this time?

In this way, isn't his logic completely contradictory to his own purpose?

But Lin Huaixin said, "You are moved by his act of saving you, and it is understandable that you believe him. But what if everything he did for you not only had no effect on him, but actually had an added benefit?"

"Being arrested at the most crucial moment in project negotiations, and with public opinion flooding in, what advantage will he gain?"

"Get rid of the other Xie family members who want to follow up on the project." Lin Huaixin's eyes deepened. "Xie Jingyao has been out for less than six hours, and the wind has already changed. He is now the only best partner left for Lairui Technology."

Si Nian looked at Lin Huaixin with a puzzled expression.

Lin Huaixin did not offer any further explanation.

He simply said, "Young people are fickle and playful, it's normal for them to be blinded by others. But at crucial moments, they must understand that husband and wife are one."

"Tinghan is an impatient person and often makes mistakes. You two had a fight recently, and he shouldn't have kept you locked up. I've already sent someone to inform him, and he knows he was wrong."

Si Nian felt that the probability of Lin Tinghan admitting his mistake was zero.

She merely listened to Lin's father's polite words with one ear and let them slip out with the other.

Lin Huaixin leaned back in his chair. "Actually, as a father, I don't expect Tinghan to stand tall or go far, but he has always been competitive since he was a child. As his wife, you should naturally prioritize his health."

"..."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you back. Just tell the driver where you want to go."

Si Nian stood up. "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Regardless, with Lin Huaixin's intervention, Lin Tinghan was unable to forcibly confine her in Jingheyuan.

To Ling Sinian's surprise, after she got into the car, the driver handed her a sealed bag, which turned out to contain her cell phone.

Si Nian turned on the screen and saw that there was only one bar of battery left, so she quickly unlocked it.

After unlocking, she subconsciously opened the message sent by Xie Jingyao.

After being led out by the lawyer, Xie Jingyao reported to Si Nian and then inquired about Si Nian's situation.

She also said that her injured finger needed to be treated and immobilized promptly.

Si Nian replied: [The finger is treated, the bone is in place, I just left the Lin family's old residence and am on my way back to Yun Jin Mansion.]

Do you want to see me?

Si Nian hesitated for a moment, but before she could reply, her phone automatically shut down!

Back at Yunjin Mansion, Si Nian took out the charger and put it on. She then turned her phone back on and saw Xie Jingyao's added comment: "No reply means you mean you miss me."

"Come find me when you're done with your work," Si Nian replied.

Then she went to look at the many messages that Song Shuyi had sent her.

The events that occurred on the day of the press conference were captured by the media and widely publicized.

Naturally, the news also reached Song Shuyi's eyes.

Compared to the onlookers pointing fingers at Si Nian, Song Shuyi was cursing Lin Tinghan for being hypocritical and pretentious.

She pressed Si Nian further: "When exactly are you going to divorce this 'cargo loader'? Just listening to him gives me a headache."

Si Nian hesitated for a moment. His divorce certificate with Lin Tinghan should have been issued in the next two days.

But now a series of changes have occurred, and she is not sure if Zhao Yulan's promise to send her a divorce certificate at the end of the month still counts.

Si Nian replied: [I'm not so sure now. According to the plan, I should be able to get the divorce certificate the day after tomorrow.]

[I hope the plan proceeds smoothly.] Song Shuyi replied.

Si Nian smiled and chatted with Song Shuyi about this and that.

The two found typing troublesome, so they switched to voice messages.

After listening to Song Shuyi's tirade against Lin Tinghan, Si Nian became curious again, "What exactly happened between you and that guy surnamed Xie at the press conference that day?"

"Someone had malicious intentions towards me. Xie Jingyao helped me deal with it. He was afraid I would be scared and wanted to take the blame for me, saying that he was the one who stabbed the person."

After a moment of silence, Song Shuyi concluded, "This person's level is much higher than Lin Tinghan's."
