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

He didn't recognize the woman in front of him, but he felt the situation was too awkward.

Seeing the woman's swollen eyes and the obvious five-finger mark on her face, as if he could glimpse her pain and embarrassment, made him even more uncomfortable.

Lin Xiwei looked at him, equally stunned.

She had only met him a few times, and this was the first time she had seen the man's face clearly.

He has strong brow bones, thick brow peaks, sharp eyes, and a high nose bridge.

His deep, sculpted features were as if carved by a knife, sharp and distinctive, exuding a powerful and imposing aura. He was surrounded by the aura of a superior standing at the pinnacle of power, commanding respect from all.

To Lin Xiwei's surprise, she discovered that the man's sharp, dark eyes were moist and bloodshot.

It seems like... I've cried too.

She couldn't believe that such a powerful, cold, and aloof man could also have sad things and shed tears.

Furthermore, after staring at that face for a while, she even had a moment of disorientation—she felt that her son Junjun looked somewhat like him.

Lin Xiwei was stunned and forgot to look away for a moment.

Qin Jiamo glanced at her briefly before looking away. He loosened his grip, slamming the door shut with a loud thud, which startled the stunned woman and brought her back to her senses.

Qin Jiamo acted as if he didn't see her, his tall and slender figure walking past her with steady and powerful steps.

Lin Xiwei smelled a faint scent of smoke.

Yes, Qin Jiamo was smoking outside the security door just now.

He wasn't addicted to cigarettes, but in the period since his brother's death, he would smoke one when he felt particularly sad.

Since smoking is prohibited in the hospital, he hid outside the emergency exit, where no one was.

But on the way back, they encountered this embarrassing scene.

After Qin Jiamo left, Lin Xiwei's grief and depression were also dispelled by this sudden scene.

The man's face was still lingering in her mind. She thought to herself that she was really bewitched. Why did everyone look like her son to her lately?

The firefighters who sacrificed their lives, the cold-hearted strangers...

She leaned against the wall to stand up, faced the direction the wind was blowing, took a few deep breaths of the cold air, and cheered herself up.

At the corner of the connecting corridor, Qin Jiamo had already walked past, but for some reason, she turned back and looked back.

He stopped medical staff who were passing by.

"Mr. Qin, what are your orders?"

"There's a family member over there who's emotionally unstable. Please keep an eye on them."

It turned out that Qin Jiamo was worried that Lin Xiwei might do something rash and jump off the building.

After all, this kind of thing happens quite often in hospitals every year.

The medical staff nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Qin. I'll go take a look."

Qin Jiamo turned and walked away.

The medical staff headed towards the terrace at the end of the connecting corridor.

But before he could walk over, Lin Xiwei had already perked up, walked off the terrace, and headed back to the south building.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Lin Xiwei spent the weekend at the hospital taking care of her child.

Su Yunfan didn't reappear, presumably he had openly gone to be with Zhong Yurou and her daughter.

Lin Xiwei didn't care.

She was initially quite heartbroken after her marriage fell apart.

But when a child is sick, all those things become trivial.

On Monday, Lin Xiwei went to work at her new company as scheduled.

Quanyun Technology is a leader in the IT industry. Although the work is hard and stressful, the compensation is known to be excellent.

Lin Xiwei urgently needed money and cherished this job.

When she arrived at the company, she was surprised to find that the department manager was actually a senior from the same department who was two years her senior.

"Lin Xiwei, is that really you? I was away on a business trip last week, and when I came back over the weekend I heard that the department hired a new person, and she's a beauty! I was stunned when I saw her profile!"

Feng Zheqian put his arm around Lin Xiwei's shoulder and turned around to introduce her to everyone: "This newcomer is my classmate from the same department, Lin Xiwei. She's a campus beauty and a talented woman at Tsinghua University. Please take good care of her in the future."

Everyone applauded in welcome, and someone even joked, asking directly, "Boss, are you sure you're just alumni?"

"Get lost! Don't joke around. She got married young, and her kids are old enough to run errands."

Feng Zheqian immediately clarified and also announced Lin Xiwei's marital status to prevent these bachelors from having any ulterior motives.

Lin Xiwei felt a little embarrassed, but still nodded and smiled politely.

After several years, she returned to the workplace and still felt somewhat out of place.

Having an acquaintance look after her now makes her feel much more at ease.

"Senior Brother Feng, I never expected to meet you at Quanyun. Please take care of me in the future." Lin Xiwei had known this capable senior brother for a long time.

Top students share resources and often work on projects with their mentors, so even students from different years can become acquainted.

"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want on my turf." Feng Zheqian was very forthright and also well aware of her abilities.

After finishing the report, Lin Xiwei returned to her workstation.

The deputy manager quickly assigned her a task.

When you focus your energy on work, you temporarily forget about the pain in your heart, and time seems to fly by.

Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

She turned her head and saw that it was Chu Qing. She roughly understood what was going on.

"Hey, Qingqing."

"Weiwei, remember to go to Desheng Law Firm to see Attorney Qin at 12:30 noon today. Don't be late, his time is very precious."

Chu Qing knew her best friend started work today, and fearing she might forget, she made a special phone call to remind her.

"Yes, I remember. Let's get ready to go."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiwei handed the completed work to the deputy manager, explained the reason, and left half an hour early.

On the way, she specifically used her phone to look up "Qin Jiamo".

There is information about him online, but no photos of him.

However, the two or three pages of honorary titles on her personal encyclopedia left Lin Xiwei speechless.

She suddenly understood why there were thresholds for accepting divorce cases; they only accepted cases involving the division of property exceeding 500 million yuan.

—With his status as a top-tier lawyer, even with such a high barrier to entry, he would still be overrun by wealthy people.

Lin Xiwei was grateful and sent a WeChat message to her best friend, saying that she must treat her uncle to a meal to express her gratitude when she has time, regardless of whether it is possible or not.

Chu Qing replied: No need, it's nothing, don't worry about it.

Upon arriving at the Desheng Law Firm, Lin Xiwei looked at the solemn and magnificent building before her. It was the first time she had ever seen a law firm built in such a luxurious and grand manner, and she couldn't help but gasp in amazement once again.

"Miss Lin, is that right? Please wait a moment while I inform her." After greeting Lin Xiwei, the elegant and sophisticated female secretary turned and walked up the wooden staircase.

Lin Xiwei looked around at the furnishings and saw that everyone was still busy at midday, which showed how famous the law firm was and how many cases it handled.

The secretary went upstairs and knocked on the office door.

"Attorney Qin, Ms. Lin, whom Professor Chu introduced, has arrived."

Qin Jiamo was staring at her laptop, not even looking up: "Bring her in."

"OK."

Secretary Fangfang came downstairs. "Miss Lin, please come with me."

"Thank you." Lin Xiwei stood up, straightened her clothes, tousled her hair, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the stairs.

"Miss Lin, please come in." Fangfang knocked on the door, pushed open the wooden door, and stood at the doorway to gesture for her to enter.

Lin Xiwei nodded her thanks, stepped into the office, and greeted him with a polite smile: "Attorney Qin, hello, I'm Lin—"

Lin Xiwei's expression and mouth froze halfway through her self-introduction.
