"That's most likely the case," Qin Jiamo chuckled, joking with her, "Doesn't it seem dramatic? Like a scene from a movie."

"This..." Lin Xiwei was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

The world is too strange.

My colleagues were just spreading rumors that she was some kind of rich second-generation, and a few minutes later this news came out—she really might be a hidden rich second-generation.

"So, you could consider going to Shenzhen to meet them and see if you can find an opportunity to do a paternity test."

Lin Xiwei said indifferently, "Just by looking at the photos, we can basically make a judgment. What's the point of further analysis?"

"Looking at photos is just speculation, no matter how similar they are. Only a written medical examination can serve as a legal basis."

Qin Jiamo is a lawyer, and she insists on solid evidence in everything she does.

"If the final result is that you are not related by blood, then consider it as you doing a good deed. If you are indeed related by blood, and they want to give you their inheritance, then accept it as compensation for all these years."

Qin Jiamo's idea was very practical.

There's no need for people to be unwilling to spend real money.

Besides, those things were rightfully his to begin with.

Lin Xiwei, however, remained somewhat aloof, saying disdainfully, "I'm not short of money. Even if we are truly related, I don't want their assets."

Perhaps they want to use money to atone for their sins and alleviate some of their inner pain and guilt.

But why did she give them this opportunity?

Qin Jiamo knew her temperament and didn't try to persuade her further, only saying, "Think about it first, there's no rush to make a decision."

"Um."

"Has Sheng Ruichen contacted you?" Qin Jiamo asked again, worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the matter alone.

"Not yet, probably in the afternoon. Everyone's busy at work on Monday." Lin Xiwei hoped the other person wouldn't ask anymore.

She's really avoiding this issue right now.

He said he wanted you to give him an answer today, so he'll definitely need to ask you again.

"We'll see," Lin Xiwei said, holding her phone, conflicted.

A colleague called from behind her. She turned around and saw Huanhuan.

"Xiwei, the boss wants you to go to his office," Huanhuan said loudly.

Lin Xiwei raised her hand to indicate that she understood, and then said to Qin Jiamo, "Wait, I have something to do, let's talk later."

"Well, if Sheng Ruichen contacts you and you're unsure what to do, just call me."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiwei quickly turned around and went back to her workstation.

Huanhuan reminded her again: "The boss wants you to go to his office."

The department head is Feng Zheqian; that's what everyone calls him.

Lin Xiwei responded and immediately went inside.

After knocking and entering, Lin Xiwei nodded politely: "Senior Brother Feng, is there any work arrangement?"

Feng Zheqian looked at her, his expression somewhat complicated. He frowned before saying, "Xiwei, President Sheng's flight to Jiangcheng this afternoon isn't for work; he's here to see you."

"What? He's coming to Jiangcheng?" Lin Xiwei exclaimed in surprise.

This news came like a bolt from the blue.

She had just been hoping that Sheng Ruichen wouldn't contact her today, but now she was in a snail's-like state and didn't want to deal with the matter.

Who knew that instead of asking on WeChat, this person would fly all the way over from afar?

Seeing her strong reaction, Feng Zheqian quickly got up and walked around the desk.

"Xiwei, don't be nervous. President Sheng didn't mean anything by it. He said he contacted you yesterday and explained why he paid special attention to you when we went to Shenzhen on a business trip."

Lin Xiwei remained silent, her brows furrowed.

"The reason Mr. Sheng contacted me about this is because he was worried that if he approached you abruptly, it would make you nervous and uneasy, since you two aren't very familiar with each other. He hopes I can mediate and that you can meet with him."

Seeing Lin Xiwei's reaction, Feng Zheqian was unsure of himself. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How about we have dinner together tonight? If you agree, I'll make the arrangements."

Lin Xiwei looked up at Feng Zheqian, her face still furrowed.

"I don't know what President Sheng said to you, but his sudden appearance has really put me in a difficult position. He said I look like his aunt and wants me to play the role of his aunt's long-lost daughter and visit them in Shenzhen. But you know, my son is sick and needs my company. The previous business trips were unavoidable for work, but this has nothing to do with me..."

Feng Zheqian quickly followed her words, "Yes, I understand. I've also explained your difficulties to President Sheng. But President Sheng said that since you have a fiancé now, the child should be taken care of."

When talking about her fiancé, Feng Zheqian looked at Lin Xiwei with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

He knew he had no right to ask, but he couldn't help but ask, "Let me make a bold guess: is your fiancé... the lawyer Qin I saw in the hospital room that day?"

Lin Xiwei suddenly looked up at Feng Zheqian.

She didn't speak, but she didn't deny it either.

Feng Zheqian smiled slightly. "I understand."

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, her feelings were complicated, but thinking about everything Qin Jiamo had done for her, she decided to be brave for once.

So she simply said, "We plan to get our marriage certificate this week, and he will soon be my husband."

She didn't openly admit these things to her colleagues because she didn't want to explain a lot.

But since Feng Zheqian already knew about this and guessed who the other party was, there was no need for her to deliberately hide it.

Feng Zheqian's eyes widened, and he looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

In the end, he could only manage a forced smile. "It's good that people strive for better things. Well... congratulations."

Lin Xiwei was also embarrassed, but she still accepted the blessing generously, "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng."

Feng Zheqian did have a strong liking for Lin Xiwei, and when he learned that she was getting a divorce, he did consider pursuing her.

But Lin Xiwei nipped his idea in the bud.

He could only bury this feeling in his heart afterward.

I thought that by waiting silently, I might one day have a chance to express my feelings.

Who would have thought that Lin Xiwei would get married again so quickly, only a month after her divorce.

The other party is a scion of a wealthy and successful family.

Feng Zheqian was completely heartbroken.

Although there was a moment of doubt in my heart—whether they had known each other for a long time, or even had been secretly having an affair, which is why they got married again so quickly after their divorce.

But upon reflection, even if the truth were true, he, as an outsider, had no right to criticize.

Ultimately, it has nothing to do with him.

All he can do now is to help Sheng Ruichen as much as possible, both publicly and privately.

"So, about tonight's meeting with President Sheng..." Feng Zheqian was a respectable man, but he hadn't yet recovered from his heartache, so he continued to return to the matter he had promised his friend.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xiwei said, "I'll contact President Sheng myself."

"That's fine too."

With that said, Lin Xiwei turned and left the office.

Back at her workstation, she pondered the matter, and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

If Sheng Ruichen only wanted her to impersonate his aunt's daughter so that he could visit the two elders and offer them some comfort, why was he in such a hurry?
