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

Chu Qing was busy at work, and Lin Xiwei left as soon as she got the report.

Qin Jiamo was already waiting in the car. As she went downstairs and stepped out, Han Rui opened the back door and held the top of the door to prevent her from bumping her head.

This respectful and dignified demeanor drew the attention of passersby.

The Maybach drove away smoothly.

Lin Xiwei and Qin Jiamo sat side by side in the back row.

Although the luxury car was spacious, the atmosphere remained tense for the two people in an ambiguous relationship.

Especially when neither of them speaks, the awkwardness is enough to make someone's toes chaf through their shoes.

Just as Lin Xiwei was racking her brains for a topic to break the silence, Qin Jiamo's phone rang.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be said that Qin Jiamo's insistence on accompanying him had its advantages.

If she goes back alone, she'll definitely experience internal turmoil and depression along the way, and her mood will plummet to rock bottom.

With Qin Jiamo by her side, she couldn't care less about those trivial matters; her mind was filled with last night's kiss and her erotic dream.

"Hello, what's up?" Qin Jiamo put the phone to his ear, his tone rude.

It was a call from my good friend.

Meng Junhe asked, "It's the weekend today, so we shouldn't have to work overtime, right? I haven't played basketball in a while, how about we play a game this afternoon?"

Qin Jiamo: "We can't fight."

"Working overtime again?" Meng Junhe said with dissatisfaction. "You left me stranded in the middle of the night a few days ago, didn't you feel any guilt at all? I order you to put aside your work today and play ball with me."

"I really can't play." Qin Jiamo still refused, and this time she finally said the reason, "I'm injured, I have a broken rib, and I can't play for the next few months."

"What?!" Meng Junhe exclaimed in surprise. "What happened to you? Who in Jiangcheng would dare to lay a hand on you? That person must be tired of living!"

Qin Jiamo didn't want to say more.

But Meng Junhe insisted on getting to the bottom of it, "What happened? Say something! Or where are you? I'll come see you."

"No need, I'm busy today, I don't have time."

"You've broken your ribs, what are you still busy with? Do you value money more than your life?" Meng Junhe dropped his joke and became serious. "What exactly happened?"

"It's nothing, I'm busy right now, I'll talk to you later, I'll hang up now."

Qin Jiamo dared not tell the truth, otherwise his good friend would definitely tease him and Lin Xiwei again.

Lin Xiwei was sitting right next to me, and the carriage was quiet. If she heard anything, the situation would be even more awkward.

He hung up immediately after saying that.

Hearing the conversation, Lin Xiwei turned around and asked, "Did I interrupt your business?"

"No, my friends asked me to play ball," Qin Jiamo explained casually.

"Oh," Lin Xiwei replied, and the carriage fell silent again.

However, when Qin Jiamo was on the phone just now, she relaxed and suddenly remembered something.

"Um... I wanted to ask, what's the status of the case involving my dad and brother assaulting me? Will they face criminal charges?"

Qin Jiamo said, "If it's a minor injury, and you don't issue a letter of understanding, they will be held criminally liable, usually for six months to a year and a half, depending on their attitude in admitting their mistake."

After explaining, he looked at Lin Xiwei and asked, "What, you want to let them go?"

Lin Xiwei shook her head. "I just want to know if Lin Zheng'an is my biological father."

"You can go back and ask your mother."

"Um."

The Maybach arrived at an old neighborhood, where parking was haphazard and it was difficult to drive in.

"Assistant Han, stop here. It'll be difficult to turn around if we drive in," Lin Xiwei quickly reminded her.

Assistant Han stopped the car.

Lin Xiwei turned to Qin Jiamo and said, "Then... I'm going back."

"Okay, call me if anything comes up," Qin Jiamo instructed.

"Okay." Lin Xiwei smiled gratefully and got out of the car.

After she had walked a few steps away, Han Rui turned back to Qin Jiamo and asked, "Boss, should I follow her?"

Qin Jiamo nodded: "If she can handle it herself, then you shouldn't show your face."

"clear."

After all, it was a family scandal, and Lin Xiwei certainly didn't want others to know.

The Lin family lived on the third floor.

Lin Xiwei slowly climbed up, supporting her waist, which was quite strenuous.

After she got married, Lin Zheng'an mentioned several times that she should buy a villa in a residential complex and move away from here.

Lin Xiwei planned to fulfill her parents' request once Su Yunfan's company grew stronger and their family's finances improved.

Now it seems unnecessary.

In fact, over the years, the money she gave to her family, if not for their reckless squandering, would have been enough for a down payment on a villa.

Standing at her front door, Lin Xiwei looked at the fingerprint lock—she had replaced it for her family last year because Zhao Xingfen had a bad memory and always forgot her keys when she went out.

Before raising her hand to swipe her fingerprint, she secretly took a breath and mentally prepared herself.

With two clicks, the door lock opened.

As she opened the door and stepped into the entryway, she suddenly heard hurried sounds coming from inside.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Who's back? Didn't you say there was no one else at home besides you?"

"Stop asking, just hurry up!"

The voices of a man and a woman.

The man was a stranger, and the woman was Zhao Xingfen.

Lin Xiwei frowned, full of doubt—were there guests at home?

She walked through the entryway, turned around and saw the scene in the living room, and felt her worldview shatter completely!

Zhao Xingfen and a strange old man were engaged in a naked physical struggle on the sofa.

The two hurriedly put on their clothes, and she accidentally caught a glimpse of the old man's body, which made her so disgusted that she got goosebumps all over her body!

The next second, Lin Xiwei turned around quickly.

It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's just that the scene was so disgusting!

She clenched her fists tightly, unable to believe what she was seeing.

In the morning, she was still thinking about how she hadn't heard from her mother for the past few days, and wondered what her mother was doing at home alone, and whether she was still trying to find a way to rescue Lin Zheng'an and his son.

Who knew—

"Lin Xiwei! What are you doing back here? You didn't even tell me you were coming back! Are you trying to kill me?!" Zhao Xingfen was flustered but also relieved when she saw that it was her daughter.

It's better to be seen by your daughter than by Lin Zheng'an.

Enraged, she frantically dressed while retaliating with a vicious tirade.

Lin Xiwei retorted angrily, "Do I need to inform you in advance to go back to my own home? Who knew you'd be so shameless!"

Judging that the two had finished dressing, Lin Xiwei turned around and said, "At your age, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble for doing this kind of thing?"

Before Zhao Xingfen could speak, the old man saw Lin Xiwei and smiled, "Is this your daughter? Your daughter is much prettier than your whole family!"

Lin Xiwei knew he was in a "male-only" place, and she was disgusted again. She immediately chased him away: "Get out! Or I'll call the police!"

The old man stood up with a smile. "Why call the police? Your mother invited me here."

Feeling guilty, Zhao Xingfen quickly pushed the man away, saying, "Brother Li, you go first. We'll contact each other again later."

The man smiled and pointed to the gold necklace around her neck, "You've accepted it, so you can't go back on your word."

"How could that be? I'll definitely contact you," Zhao Xingfen said with a smile, trying to coax the man and urge him to leave.

The old man walked towards the door, and Lin Xiwei felt disgusted by his lewd gaze, so she took several steps away.
