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

Lin Xiwei clutched the card, staring blankly down at it, without saying a word.

Qin Jiamo looked down at her and saw that her nose was red and her eyes were moist. Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? I gave you money to spend, and it made you angry?"

"No..." Lin Xiwei raised her head, her eyes indeed moist and filled with tears.

Her voice trembled and became hoarse, "Are you being so nice to me because you pity me for what happened tonight?"

Qin Jiamo turned her head, looking helpless and at a loss for words.

"The card PIN is your birthday, how could it be something I decided on a whim? I took care of it before I went on my business trip, I was just too busy and forgot to give it to you."

Lin Xiwei stared at him, tears still welling up in her eyes.

Qin Jiamo saw the child on the bed suddenly turn over and whispered, "Don't cry, or you'll wake Junjun up."

Lin Xiwei quickly turned around and glanced back, immediately stopping her turbulent emotions.

Turning around, she looked at Ka and sighed inexplicably, "No wonder so many women are desperate to marry into wealthy families. They really are rich and powerful."

Qin Jiamo chuckled again and said frankly, "It's me who's generous, not the wealthy. There are plenty of rich people who are stingy."

Lin Xiwei nodded: "That's true, Attorney Qin is indeed a good person."

"Now you're saying I'm a good person?" Qin Jiamo deliberately mocked her. "Who used to say I was sharp-tongued and always arguing with me?"

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Lin Xiwei immediately flattered him, "I was ignorant and shallow before."

Qin Jiamo smiled brightly, "Alright, it's getting late. You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."

"Um."

Qin Jiamo turned and left.

Lin Xiwei stared at the card for two seconds, then a smile appeared on her lips.

Qin Jiamo didn't mention the balance on the card, nor did she intend to ask.

Based on her understanding of Qin Jiamo, she estimated that it was at least a million.

But as it turned out, she underestimated Attorney Qin's financial power and generosity.

About two weeks later, when Lin Xiwei went to the bank to open a fixed deposit account after receiving all the proceeds from the sale of the house, she also checked the balance of this card.

She was immediately stunned.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions!

Then look at the first digit of that string of numbers; it's 8.

Qin Jiamo casually gave her a card, which actually had a balance of 80 million!

This bride price is simply outrageous.

She felt she wasn't even worth that much money, yet Qin Jiamo gave her the huge sum of money so casually.

Such a shrewd person, yet regards money as dirt.

Lin Xiwei was once again deeply moved by him.

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.

The following day, Monday.

Lin Xiwei went to the morning meeting as soon as she arrived at the company.

As we left the meeting room together after the meeting, a colleague approached and asked curiously, "Lin Xiwei, are you a rich girl from a wealthy family? Are you just here to experience life?"

Lin Xiwei was completely confused. "Why do you say that?"

"I was working overtime on Saturday when we saw a Maybach pick you up. I heard you got divorced, so it couldn't be your ex-husband, could it?"

Lin Xiwei's heart skipped a beat.

What I feared most came to pass.

She had previously told Qin Jiamo that they should keep a low profile and not make their relationship public for the time being.

He never took it seriously.

Now things have gotten so out of hand, people actually think she's a rich second-generation heiress.

Of course, Lin Xiwei soon learned that she was indeed a rich second-generation heiress.

"That... of course not." She quickly denied it.

"Who's that? Could it be your new suitor?" A colleague immediately started gossiping.

Before Lin Xiwei could think of any other reason, she blurted out, "That's my son's uncle. He had something to do at home that day, and he happened to be passing by, so he gave me a ride."

"Your son's uncle, that's your ex-husband's brother, right?"

"Hey, is your brother-in-law married yet?"

Lin Xiwei smiled awkwardly, "No, but it will be soon."

"Ah, good men are indeed not available in the market."

Upon hearing this, the colleague immediately sighed with regret.

"I can't even imagine what kind of woman could marry him. She must wake up every night because of her husband's handsome face."

"Exactly, this is the first time I've ever seen such a tall, handsome, and rich man in real life. God is too kind to him."

"Wait a minute, Xiwei, your ex-husband's brother is so handsome and has such great prospects, your ex-husband couldn't be much worse off, right? Why did you two get divorced?"

Lin Xiwei smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

Fortunately, another colleague reacted quickly and smoothed things over: "Why are you reopening old wounds? Let's go, let's get back to work."

As the group walked away, they continued gossiping in hushed tones, "Rich people are the most fickle; she's definitely cheating!"

"Oh, stop talking. Look at Lin Xiwei, she got divorced and went to work, but she doesn't even have time to take care of her sick son. It must be her ex-husband who is unkind. She's pitiful enough. You should all keep quiet."

Lin Xiwei heard this, but ignored it and went straight back to her workstation.

Actually, my colleagues were right. Looking at Qin Jiamo's handsome face, you could wake up in the middle of the night from his handsomeness.

In addition, he was incredibly efficient, reliable, and generous—she often felt like she was dreaming, dreaming that God had bestowed upon her such an outstanding and perfect man.

Thinking about these things, she couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness.

Her phone suddenly rang, waking her from her sweet dream.

Turning my head, I saw Qin Jiamo.

Lin Xiwei smiled first, a heartfelt joy at receiving a call from the man she liked. However, when she remembered what Qin Jiamo's call might mean, her smile suddenly froze.

Could it be that the investigation in Shenzhen has yielded results?

After hesitating for two seconds, she got up, left her workstation, and answered the call.

"Feed..."

"Busy?"

"Thank goodness, we just finished the morning meeting." Lin Xiwei glanced back to make sure no colleagues were around before asking, "Did they find something in Shenzhen?"

"Um."

Qin Jiamo is in her law firm office.

Ten minutes ago, he received a call from Shenzhen, the contents of which surprised him quite a bit.

"Sheng Ruichen does have an aunt, and their situation is indeed as Sheng Ruichen said last night. His uncle was paralyzed on one side due to a car accident many years ago, and his aunt suffers from severe kidney disease and needs dialysis three times a week."

Lin Xiwei gripped her phone, her breathing slightly controlled, and listened intently to what was being said on the other end.

"They have no children and have relied on Sheng Ruichen's mother for help for many years. As their illnesses progressed, both of their health deteriorated."

Lin Xiwei's heart clenched.

"However, it surprised me a little." Qin Jiamo suddenly changed the subject.

"What?"

"The company Sheng Ruichen works for is actually controlled by his aunt and uncle, and they own more than one company. I speculate that their search for their lost daughter may be partly to fulfill a long-cherished wish, and partly to find an heir."

Lin Xiwei looked extremely surprised after hearing this.

"You mean, if they really are my biological parents, then I'm... a rich kid?"
