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

Mingming said yesterday that she would give her a day to consider it and would reply today.

But instead of receiving a reply today, he flew in from Shenzhen to meet with her and talk in person...

Unless, Sheng Ruichen also began to suspect her background.

After all, if you look at that photo closely, you'll find that she not only looks like her "aunt," but also has features that resemble her "uncle."

Perhaps Sheng Ruichen already had his suspicions when she was still on a business trip in Shenzhen.

So he made this trip in person, both to meet and talk to her face to face, and to take the opportunity to check on her situation—in order to confirm his suspicions.

Thinking about all this, Lin Xiwei became even more reluctant to meet that evening.

She doesn't like the feeling of being schemed against.

After careful consideration, Lin Xiwei made up her mind and sent a message to Sheng Ruichen directly on WeChat.

[Mr. Sheng, I heard from Manager Feng that you're arriving in Jiangcheng on a flight this afternoon. If it's just to see me, then there's no need for this.]

When Sheng Ruichen, who was far away in Shenzhen, received this WeChat message, he was already at the airport.

After reading the message, he frowned, knowing that Feng Zheqian's conversation with her had not gone smoothly.

Before he could figure out how to reply, Lin Xiwei sent another message.

My son needs to be hospitalized again for further chemotherapy in the next few days, and I can't get away for the time being, so I have to put the matter you mentioned on hold for now. I'm sorry.

After sending this WeChat message, Lin Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

This is true; Junjun will indeed be hospitalized again soon for chemotherapy, and she has no desire to travel to other places anymore.

With this legitimate reason, she found peace of mind.

Regardless of whether the "aunt and uncle" in Shenzhen are her biological parents, she cannot meet them for the time being.

Sheng Ruichen stood in the airport, staring at his phone for a long time, his mind filled with all sorts of assumptions.

Lin Xiwei's resistance was very strong, and one could even read a hint of hatred between the lines of her words.

He quickly realized that Lin Xiwei must have sensed something after seeing the photos, which was why she was so resistant.

If Lin Xiwei is indeed her aunt's long-lost twin daughter, then she must hate her biological parents, which is why she showed such resistance and rejection after learning that her biological parents might reappear.

Sheng Ruichen originally came here to verify this in person.

But now, without needing verification, he has already made his judgment.

We are all smart people, and smart people hate being schemed against by others.

After a brief moment of consideration, he decided to treat him with sincerity.

[Ms. Lin, you don't need to apologize; it was my rudeness.]

To be honest, I think you look a lot like my aunt and uncle, and I even suspect that you are my aunt's lost daughter.

[So I want to go to Jiangcheng in person to see you, and we can talk face-to-face.]

[Perhaps your current parents aren't your biological parents; there are just some things you're kept in the dark about.]

Sheng Ruichen sent four messages in a row.

After reading it, Lin Xiwei held her phone, lost in thought and silence.

Sure enough, he became suspicious.

He also understood the saying, "Sincerity has always been the most touching thing"—so he stopped beating around the bush and simply stated his purpose directly.

Lin Xiwei's heart raced. Instead of relaxing because of Sheng Ruichen's explanation, she became even more resistant and confrontational.

Of course she knew that Lin Zheng'an and his wife were not her biological parents.

But her biological parents who lost her back then were even more despicable.

She also didn't want to admit it.

Even if she has a huge fortune to inherit.

[Mr. Sheng, you've made a mistake. I have my own parents, and we have a very good family relationship.]

After sending the WeChat message, Lin Xiwei put down her phone, not wanting to deal with the matter anymore.

Huanhuan, who was standing nearby, noticed that Xiwei looked unwell and leaned closer to ask with concern, "Xiwei, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Xiwei perked up, shook her head and smiled faintly, "No, I just didn't sleep well last night and I'm a little sleepy."

She still had work to do, so she forced herself to focus on her work and ignore the troubles.

During the lunch break, Qin Jiamo called again.

"Hasn't Sheng Ruichen contacted you?" He had been waiting for news from Lin Xiwei, but there was still none, so he had to call again to ask.

Lin Xiwei was about to go downstairs for dinner when she calmly said, "He came to Jiangcheng this afternoon and asked Senior Brother Feng to act as an intermediary, saying he wanted to talk to me in person."

"What do you mean?" Qin Jiamo's voice suddenly tightened. "You said you were coming without any warning? Why didn't you tell me about something this important?"

Lin Xiwei said, "You're busy with work, and I don't want to keep bothering you."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Qin Jiamo's tone suddenly hardened. "What did I tell you?"

Lin Xiwei knew his personality and that he was worried about her, so she wasn't angry at his attitude.

"Don't worry, I can handle it. If I really can't handle it, I'll ask you for help with the aftermath."

Qin Jiamo didn't speak, clearly still somewhat angry.

He was genuinely worried about her and afraid she would get hurt, which is why he was so proactive in paying attention to the matter.

But Lin Xiwei's attitude made him feel excluded, as if he was the only one putting in the effort.

"He suspected that I was his aunt's biological daughter, so he wanted to come and find out for himself. But I told him directly that I have my own biological parents, and that I can't go to Shenzhen for the time being because my child is sick."

Seeing that he was angry, Lin Xiwei stopped hiding it and quickly explained the whole thing.

Qin Jiamo was angry, but after she finished speaking, she still went along with her words: "So you've made up your mind not to acknowledge them?"

"At least not now," Lin Xiwei said calmly as she walked out of the elevator with the flow of people.

Qin Jiamo was somewhat surprised. "When you found out recently that Lin Zheng'an and his wife weren't your biological parents, you even went to register them as missing persons. I thought you really wanted to find your family."

Lin Xiwei sighed softly to herself.

"People's thoughts can change. Especially when I heard that they had twins, a boy and a girl, but lost their daughter for some reason, I didn't want to acknowledge them anymore."

For some reason... what else could it be?

They are just like Lin Zheng'an and his wife, who also favor sons over daughters.

However, it was only after their son died young that they had no children of their own and began to think of their "lost" daughter.

What use is this belated, charity-based blood ties to her?

We also have to take care of them, support them, and provide for them in their old age and until their death.

Even if there is an inheritance in the end, she doesn't necessarily want those assets.

Therefore, recognizing each other is not very meaningful and will only disrupt your current peaceful and happy life.

"Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then don't. Don't hold a grudge about it and make yourself unhappy."

Qin Jiamo knew her personality; she seemed to be able to take things in stride, but in reality, she kept it all bottled up inside.

"Yes, I'm fine, don't worry. Just focus on your work," Lin Xiwei smiled and coaxed him gently.

Qin Jiamo, annoyed, scolded again, "We're already in this kind of relationship, why are you still being so polite? If you don't tell me next time you have something to do, I won't help you when you get into trouble."
