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

Old Madam Qin released her hand, took out a photo of her youngest son that she always carried in her pocket, and said, "Look, this is Yue Lang—do you recognize him?"

Lin Xiwei was initially confused, but when she saw the old lady take out Qin Yuelang's photo and saw her excited and happy expression, she suddenly understood!

Her heart skipped a beat. Extremely embarrassed, she asked softly, "Madam, you... you know?"

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qin's face lit up with even greater joy, her eyes practically gleaming. "So, you really know Yue Lang? When did you get together with Yue Lang? Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

In fact, as soon as they received the test results and learned that Junjun was of the Qin family bloodline, the two elders first suspected their eldest son and Lin Xiwei.

But then I thought, Lin Xiwei has a family, and her eldest son would never do something as shameful as interfering in someone else's marriage.

Moreover, the eldest son and Lin Xiwei had only known each other for a short time, and the politeness and unfamiliarity between them didn't seem fake.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the two elders ruled out this possibility.

That leaves only the youngest son.

Now that the old lady had only tested her, Lin Xiwei had reacted in this way—which immediately confirmed the old lady's suspicions, naturally making her extremely excited.

Lin Xiwei was completely bewildered!

Is she with Qin Yuelang?

Lin Xiwei didn't understand where she had gone wrong, her face showing embarrassment and confusion. "No, Madam... I don't know your youngest son, and I've never been with him—are you mistaken? Or did you hear something from someone?"

Lin Xiwei wondered to herself, "Did Qin Jiamo tell the two elders about Junjun's background?"

Why didn't you tell her?

This caught her completely off guard.

"Who told you what?" Old Madam Qin was also stunned.

The two locked eyes, their minds racing.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Qin asked directly, "Isn't Junjun Yue Lang's child?"

Lin Xiwei understood, and realizing there was no need to hide it anymore, she could only nod: "Yes, so Attorney Qin told you?"

"Jiamo told us?" Old Madam Qin was taken aback. "So, Jiamo already knew?"

Lin Xiwei was surprised. "Didn't Attorney Qin tell you? How did you know?"

Madam Qin hesitated for a moment, her face showing some guilt, "This... it was Jia Mo's father and I who saw that Jun Jun looked a lot like Yue Lang, and we had always suspected it, so we kept it from you and did a kinship test with Jun Jun."

Lin Xiwei suddenly frowned.

So that's what happened.

"Weiwei, I know what we're doing is wrong, but now that the child is of the Qin family bloodline, we will definitely take responsibility for you and the child."

When Madam Qin saw Lin Xiwei's furrowed brows, she assumed that Lin Xiwei was angry, so she immediately apologized and made her stance clear.

Lin Xiwei remained silent.

She is feeling very confused right now.

The divorce had already caused a lot of trouble, and now this has suddenly come out.

She had always trusted the Qin family elders, and considering their immense grief at losing their child, she entrusted the child to their care to heal their pain.

But they secretly went to get a kinship test done on their child.

Thinking of all this, Lin Xiwei slowly withdrew her hand and looked at Old Madam Qin, asking, "How did you conduct the test? Junjun had his head shaved; did you take him for a blood test or a nasal swab?"

"No, no," Madam Qin quickly waved her hand, "Don't worry, we didn't hurt Junjun. He had a nosebleed that day, and we just took a blood sample."

Lin Xiwei looked at the old lady, unsure of what to say.

"Weiwei, you just said that Jiamo already knew about this?" The old lady was focused on another point.

Lin Xiwei nodded. "This matter is complicated. Let Attorney Qin explain it to you. I'll go and bring Junjun back first."

After saying that, Lin Xiwei got up and went to pick up the child.

Mr. Qin was with Junjun in the ward when he saw Lin Xiwei knock on the door and enter. Her expression was a little off, and the old man knew that things had not gone well during the discussion.

"Junjun, come over there with Mom," Lin Xiwei called to her son.

Mr. Qin stood up: "Weiwei, it's almost lunchtime. Let's go over after the child has eaten."

"No need, thank you." Lin Xiwei ignored her back injury and picked up her son.

Old Madam Qin has also returned.

The old man cast a probing gaze over her, but Madam Qin simply shook her head slightly.

As soon as Lin Xiwei left with the child, Mr. Qin immediately asked his wife, "What happened? Did the paternity test go wrong?"

Madam Qin explained, "That's right, the child belongs to the Qin family, but Weiwei refuses to say how she came to be—also, Jia Mo knew about this all along, but kept it from us."

"What?" Old Qin was greatly surprised upon hearing this. "That brat already knew?"

As he spoke, he immediately took out his phone and called his eldest son.

At the same time, Lin Xiwei returned to her ward and immediately sent a WeChat message to Qin Jiamo.

Your parents already know that Junjun is your brother's child, and they have conducted a kinship test without your consent.

Qin Jiamo was still receiving treatment from the doctor when she saw this WeChat message, and her expression suddenly darkened.

From the word "without permission," he knew that Lin Xiwei was unhappy.

Qin Jiamo immediately called Lin Xiwei, but as soon as he logged out of WeChat, his father called first.

He answered the phone without hesitation and immediately asked, "You conducted a paternity test on the child without my permission?"

Old Qin understood immediately upon hearing this.

"Did Miss Lin tell you?"

He addressed her as "Miss Lin," no longer as Weiwei.

Qin Jiamo's expression grew increasingly serious.

The change in how they address each other indicates that they have had a falling out.

Qin Jiamo stood up to leave, but the doctor, caught off guard and still holding onto the brace on his back, called out repeatedly, "Hey, Mr. Qin, don't move, it'll be done soon."

Qin Jiamo was pulled like that, which aggravated the injury on his back, causing him to wince in pain.

"Hurry up, I have something to do," he urged coldly.

"Almost done." The doctor quickened his pace, fastening the medical chest and abdominal support belt for him, while instructing, "Be sure to avoid strenuous movement for the next few days..."

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Qin Jiamo had already left without looking back.

The doctor could only turn to Han Rui: "Remind your boss, this is a rib fracture, don't take it lightly!"

"Okay, thank you, doctor," Han Rui replied hastily, and quickly followed.

In the elevator, just as Qin Jiamo was about to close the door, Han Rui quickly chased after her and entered.

With a stern face, he snapped at his father on the other end of the phone: "Who gave you permission to do this? Do you have any respect for people?"

Old Mr. Qin retorted, "I heard you knew about this all along. Why did you keep it from us? That's Yue Lang's child, his only bloodline left in the world. How could you keep such a big deal to yourself!"

"I have my reasons for not saying."

"What are you considering? Your mother just went over and asked what happened with the baby, but she wouldn't say a word. Did she get pregnant through some improper means?"

Mr. Qin could only think of this reason; otherwise, he would not understand his son's actions.

The youngest son, who was single and unmarried, died in the line of duty, but it was unexpectedly discovered that a child had been left behind in the world—this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, and a good thing.

Why hide it?

Qin Jiamo: "Is this how you questioned Lin Xiwei just now?"

Old Qin denied it: "No, we're not that kind of people. Your mother just asked indirectly, but she wouldn't say, so she told us to ask you."

Qin Jiamo didn't quite believe her father's words, worried that they had already clashed with Lin Xiwei.

Upon reaching his floor, he strode out of the elevator, completely disregarding his injuries.

Han Rui followed behind him, forcing a smile as he reminded him, "Boss, the doctor said you need to be careful with your injury..."

Qin Jiamo turned a deaf ear.

Madam Qin's ward is at the end of the corridor; to get there, you have to pass by Lin Xiwei and her son's ward.

He walked over, gave a symbolic knock on the door, and then pushed it open and went inside.

Lin Xiwei was pouring water for her son when she heard the noise and was startled. She quickly turned around.

Upon seeing that it was Qin Jiamo, she was taken aback, her gaze falling on the restraints wrapped around his upper body.

"My parents didn't say anything offensive, did they?" Qin Jiamo walked quickly closer, his voice low and slightly tense.

Lin Xiwei shook her head. "No, they just misunderstood. They thought I dated your brother."

"Okay, I understand." Qin Jiamo was slightly relieved to see that she wasn't too angry, and then said, "Come with me and let's explain things clearly."

Lin Xiwei frowned. "Junjun doesn't need to go, does he? He may be young, but..."

Qin Jiamo understood her considerations, nodded, and then instructed Han Rui, "You stay with the young master."

Han Rui stepped forward and said, "Okay, boss."

After feeding her son a cup of water, Lin Xiwei gently coaxed the little guy, "Baby, play with Uncle Han for a while. Mommy is going to talk to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin about something."

Junjun is precocious; seeing the adults' expressions, he already feels worried.

"Mommy, Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin are so good to us, unlike my maternal grandparents. Please don't fight, okay?" the little one reminded her earnestly.

Lin Xiwei gently smacked her son's cheek. "Okay, Mommy will remember what you said, baby."

As they left the ward, Qin Jiamo glanced back at her and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, my parents secretly had a paternity test done with Junjun without telling you. They didn't think things through."

Lin Xiwei glanced at him, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "It's okay. I was a little upset when I found out about this so suddenly, but I'm fine now."

From the perspective of the Qin family elders, she could understand.

After all, the child does look very much like that Second Young Master Qin, so anyone would have doubts.

They were afraid that telling her directly would be too abrupt, or that they would be rejected, so they did it secretly.

They probably thought it was unlikely, and did the test purely to give up hope.

But to their utter surprise, the test results shocked them.

Anyway, this matter was going to be exposed sooner or later, so it's better that she knows now, because she no longer needs to hide it.

Even when Junjun was so young, they could tell that the two elders truly loved him. Now that they know he is their grandson, they will only love him even more.

For her, there was no loss or harm, so there was no need to be angry.

Seeing that she was calm and didn't seem to be pretending to be magnanimous, Qin Jiamo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you don't care. Don't worry, even if they know that Junjun is their grandson, they won't fight you for him."
