On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

Su Daqiang and his daughter are both mute.

Lin Xiwei took a deep breath, and her chest trembled as she exhaled.

After such a long back-and-forth struggle, we finally have a fairly satisfactory result.

She looked at Qin Jiamo, her face filled with gratitude.

Qin Jiamo didn't look at her, but turned to Han Rui and instructed him to draft a letter of understanding immediately.

Suddenly, her phone rang, snapping her out of her reverie and prompting her to take it out.

Upon seeing that it was her mother calling, Lin Xiwei instinctively frowned and looked up at Su Yunfan on the other end of the line. "Did you tell my family about what happened these past two days?"

Even though she was a victim of domestic violence and her face was disfigured.

But Lin Xiwei didn't tell her parents.

She knew that telling them would be useless and would only force her to listen to their annoying nagging, so she simply took it all on herself.

After her parents got the money and redeemed their beloved son, they didn't contact her for several days.

Clearly, their daughter was merely a "blood bag" for them to receive blood transfusions.

But they suddenly called today, at the same time...

Su Yunfan was already annoyed, and upon hearing this, he said irritably, "Why would I contact them? A bunch of parasites who only know how to suck blood."

"..." Lin Xiwei was speechless.

She can stand tall in anything, but when it comes to her hopeless family background, she is completely powerless to refute it.

Since she didn't know, calling would definitely not bring good news, so Lin Xiwei simply muted her phone and didn't answer.

But soon, WeChat rang several times in a row.

She glanced down and saw that her mother had sent several voice messages.

There were people around, so it wasn't appropriate to use voice messages. She waited a few minutes before opening the chat interface and clicking "Convert to Text".

[Weiwei, has Junjun been discharged from the hospital? Why is no one in the ward?]

Lin Xiwei frowned.

Did they go to the hospital again?

[I had some free time today, so I thought I'd make some soup for Junjun. This time I really bought a free-range chicken myself and cooked it at home. But when I brought it over, no one was in the ward; neither the caregiver nor Junjun were there.]

[Weiwei, has Junjun been discharged from the hospital? Has his condition stabilized or has he been transferred to another hospital? You child, you didn't tell the family about such a big thing.]

[You're going through a divorce and still have to go to work. Mom knows you're having a tough time. What do you want to tell the family?]

After reading the translated text, Lin Xiwei felt no warmth in her heart.

Knowing her parents as she does—if they suddenly show her kindness and start caring about her, it's because they want something from her again.

She didn't reply, put down her phone, and just then Qin Jiamo moved his business laptop over and looked at her: "Take a look at the letter of understanding. If there's anything that needs to be adjusted, I'll revise it."

"Okay." Lin Xiwei nodded and looked at the computer screen.

Qin Jiamo is a professional, so writing this kind of legal document is naturally no problem for her.

Lin Xiwei quickly glanced through it and said, "No problem, it's very well written."

Qin Jiamo retrieved the computer, and Han Rui immediately used a portable printer to print out three copies of the letter of understanding.

"You can just sign here." Qin Jiamo handed her the pen and pointed to the signature area.

Across from him, Zhang Ye watched all this and suddenly frowned.

"Senior Brother Qin, I remember you have high standards for handling family and marriage cases? This Miss Lin doesn't meet them, does she?" Zhang Ye asked curiously.

Qin Jiamo looked up at him. "What's wrong? Are you upset about losing?"

"How could that be? I have no complaints about losing to you. Looking at the entire law school, the only ones who could beat you are probably those few senior professors. I'm just curious."

"Curiosity killed the cat. Just do your job well." Qin Jiamo said, handing the signed letter of understanding to the other side.

Zhang Ye took it, glanced at it, and clicked his tongue in admiration: "Truly a model." Then he handed it to Su Yunfan, "Mr. Su, please sign it."

Su Yunfan took the document and examined it.

Zhang Ye then asked Qin Jiamo, "Since a consensus has been reached, is there still a need for a court hearing? They can agree to a divorce by mutual consent."

"No, the court will proceed as scheduled." Qin Jiamo made her choice without hesitation.

If they go through a divorce by mutual consent, their last meeting won't count because the terms of the divorce agreement have changed.

They have to resubmit their divorce petition.

That means we'll have to wait another 30 days for the cooling-off period.

Even one more day could bring changes, let alone waiting 30 days—the longer it goes, the more things could go wrong.

"Friday is the court hearing day. Now that an agreement has been reached, the hearing is just a formality, and the verdict will be announced soon."

Moreover, in divorce cases where the husband has committed domestic violence, the divorce can be granted in one go according to laws and regulations.

In other words, Lin Xiwei will be able to escape her misery and return to single life on Friday, while also becoming a young, beautiful, and wealthy woman.

Zhang Ye nodded: "Alright, I understand your considerations. Let's wait for the court verdict then. But Senior Brother Qin, considering how difficult things are for my client, could you please give me some time to discuss the division of company assets?"

Qin Jiamo didn't answer directly, but turned to Lin Xiwei and asked in a low voice, "Regarding the 50 million in company assets, how many years do you expect the other party to pay it back?"

Considering the company's current situation, Lin Xiwei estimated that Su Yunfan really couldn't come up with that much money, and there was no need to push him too hard, otherwise he might do something extreme out of desperation.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Five years, 1000 million a year, he should be able to afford it."

Su Linlin asked in surprise, "Five years? 1000 million every year? Do you think my brother's company is a money-printing machine?!"

Lin Xiwei said, "I've already been very lenient by not asking for two or three years. I remember your brother once said that an investor wanted to acquire the company, but he didn't agree. If he really can't afford it, it's not too late to sell the company now."

After signing the letter of understanding, Su Yunfan looked over with a cold face, "The company's annual profit is only a little over ten million. If I give you ten million, the rest won't be enough to keep it running."

Qin Jiamo thought for a moment, "I can give you an extension, but you have to pay interest, but not too much, just the bank interest rate will do."

Zhangye shook his head and sighed.

Senior Brother Qin is truly amazing; he relentlessly pressed forward, never giving an inch.

Su Daqiang looked at his son with heartache, almost slapping his thigh in frustration. "Yunfan... look at the woman you chose back then, she was a devil."

Su Yunfan ignored him and remained silent.

It's pointless to bring these things up now.

Zhong Yurou got bored sitting there and couldn't listen anymore, so she suddenly picked up her bag, got up, and left.

Su Linlin immediately stopped her: "Zhong Yurou, what do you mean? You're not actually going to look for another woman because my brother is broke, are you?"

Zhong Yurou tossed her hair aside and said matter-of-factly, "Can't I go pick up the kids?"

He turned and left after saying that.

Lin Xiwei gave a cold laugh, not finding it strange at all.

If Zhong Yurou still harbored some old feelings for Su Yunfan when she first returned to him, those feelings would surely vanish after she learned that he was impotent and unable to have children.

The only reason she's still clinging to him is for money.

Now that Su Yunfan has basically run out of money, she's not stupid; why would she hang herself on this useless, crooked tree?

They'll definitely have to find someone else.

Once both parties reach an understanding, Lin Xiwei will be able to leave.

Su Yunfan needs to apply for administrative reconsideration and will have to stay to go through the procedures.

Lin Xiwei didn't even glance at him when she left.

As he was about to walk away, he couldn't help but ask, "From the time I filed for divorce until now, you've never tried to stop me. Have you been waiting for this day all along?"

Lin Xiwei had already reached the door when she heard him, so she stopped and turned back to look at him.

"What are you trying to say? Are you going to accuse me again?"

Su Yunfan stared at her. "It's no use making accusations now. I just regret it."

Lin Xiwei understood what he meant.

"Actually, I regretted it before, but I don't regret it now," Lin Xiwei said.

Su Linlin sneered, "You got divorced, and your net worth skyrocketed by tens of millions. Of course you don't regret it; you must be grinning from ear to ear!"

Lin Xiwei scoffed coldly, "If I said it wasn't for that reason, you definitely wouldn't believe me. The reason I don't regret it is because—Junjun is with me. Although I suffered a lot during the IVF treatment, I don't regret giving birth to him at all."

Especially now that she knows Junjun's biological father was a heroic firefighter who sacrificed his life, she has even less regret.

Junjun carries heavy thoughts of longing, but he has also received a newfound and intense affection.

Even if the little one loses his complete family, he won't be hurt by it.

Su Yunfan didn't respond to that, but instead looked at Qin Jiamo, who was waiting for Lin Xiwei outside the conference room, and asked again, unwilling to give up, "You and him... really only recently met?"

Lin Xiwei smiled.

"I didn't have to prove it myself; whether you believe me or not is none of my business. But considering how miserable you are, I can prove it for you."

Lin Xiwei took out her phone and opened WeChat.

"This is my chat history with Qingqing. It's true that we met that famous lawyer Qin through Qingqing's uncle's introduction."

Su Yunfan frowned, staring at his phone screen.

Su Linlin craned her neck to get a closer look, then turned to look at her brother, "It really is. How could... Junjun look so much like him?"

"It's fate," Lin Xiwei said, putting her phone away and not minding talking to them a little longer.

"Actually, Attorney Qin originally didn't want to take this case, it was too degrading. It was only because he accidentally discovered that Junjun looked like him that he changed his mind for Junjun's sake. You could say that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few. Even God is on my side."

Su Yunfan stood there, completely heartbroken.

Lin Xiwei turned and walked out of the conference room, exchanging a glance with Qin Jiamo who was waiting at the door. "Let's go."

Qin Jiamo followed beside her and said coldly, "After suffering such a great loss, you still can't get rid of your soft-heartedness."

Lin Xiwei turned to look at him. "What do you mean?"

"Why bother arguing with him so much? Let him think what he wants." This is Attorney Qin's motto in life: never nag.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, her face a little embarrassed. "He'll think that I've been having an affair with you for a long time, that Junjun is your biological son, and that he's been cheated on."

Qin Jiamo's gaze darkened slightly, his thin lips pursed, and he remained silent.

Han Rui, who was a step behind them, coughed inexplicably—he really didn't dare to imagine how Miss Lin would react when the truth came to light.

Qin Jiamo was exchanging pleasantries with the police station leaders, and Lin Xiwei was standing beside him when her phone suddenly rang again, interrupting her.

I took out my phone and saw it was my mother.

Lin Xiwei frowned and hung up immediately.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xingfen, who was in the hospital, had already found her grandson.

However, the Qin family elders had long known that the child's maternal grandmother was no good, so they didn't allow her to have any contact with Junjun.

Zhao Xingfen had no choice but to call her daughter again, but the call was hung up!

"That brat, she's really gotten too big for her britches and won't even answer my calls!" Zhao Xingfen was furious and dialed again.

Mr. Qin was worried about causing a misunderstanding, since she was the child's maternal grandmother, so he also called his son at the same time.

Qin Jiamo was still being polite with the leaders when her phone rang.

He took the opportunity to say goodbye to his superiors while answering the phone and then turned to leave.

"Hello, Dad..."

"Jiamo, Junjun's maternal grandmother came to the hospital. She couldn't find the child in the ward at first, so she asked the medical staff and came here."

Before Qin Jiamo could finish listening to her father's words, she turned to look at Lin Xiwei beside her.

"Okay, I understand. Miss Lin is with me. We just came out of the police station. I'll ask her what she thinks."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei's eyes widened in astonishment. "My mom found your parents?"

Qin Jiamo didn't hang up the phone; she asked her directly, "Your mother wants to see Junjun, do you agree?"

Lin Xiwei said, "Wait a minute, I'll call her back. She called several times and I hung up."

Qin Jiamo replied to her father, "Let Miss Lin handle it."

Lin Xiwei immediately called Zhao Xingfen back.

As soon as the call connected, Zhao Xingfen started yelling, "Weiwei, what do you mean? You don't even want to acknowledge your parents anymore? You don't answer our calls, you don't reply to our WeChat messages, and you didn't even tell us about such a big thing as firing the nanny. You'd rather have a stranger take care of your child than ask your parents for help."

Lin Xiwei was in a good mood because the negotiations went smoothly and she would soon be able to completely sever ties with Su Yunfan.

But now my good mood has been ruined by my own mother.

"Mom, I have to go to work, I don't have time to argue with you. Thank you for visiting Junjun, but I've arranged everything, you don't need to worry about it, go back now."

Lin Xiwei's attitude was bad, but it didn't mean she was unfilial.

Rather, it was the deep-seated trauma her parents left her with.

She worried that her mother's show of goodwill might be hiding some ulterior motive, and that she might use Junjun as a threat later.

Therefore, the best way is to prevent her from contacting Junjun—unless she is present.

"Also, don't argue with the Qin family elders. They're taking care of Junjun for me free of charge. Don't be ungrateful and offend them."

Zhao Xingfen was even more furious: "What kind of talk is that? How can you talk to your parents like that? I'm the child's maternal grandmother, can't I see him?"

"I can't today. If you really miss your child, come again tomorrow at noon. I usually go to the hospital at noon, but something came up today."

I might not be free tomorrow!

"Never mind then." Lin Xiwei prepared to hang up the phone.

But then Zhao Xingfen suddenly asked, "How are things between you and Yunfan? Is he still going to get a divorce?"

Lin Xiwei had a thousand words in her heart, but she held back and replied, "This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it."

She was afraid that her parents would find out she would get a lot of money from the divorce and then exploit her endlessly, so she chose to keep it a secret.

But this cover-up certainly won't last long.

Lin Xiwei was on the phone when she reached the roadside. She was blocking half of her view with her phone and didn't notice a rider speeding towards her.

"Watch out!" Qin Jiamo noticed that the rider was already close by. He reacted quickly and pulled Lin Xiwei over.

"what!"

Lin Xiwei was terrified. The rider's motorcycle grazed her lower back as Qin Jiamo held her tightly in his arms, her face deathly pale.
