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

Zhao Xingfen then realized that inmates also had to pay extra fees inside.

If you don't have money, your fellow inmates will look down on you and you might even bully you.

She couldn't bear to see her son suffer, so she quickly wired all the compensation money to the father and son.

She was now free again.

Moreover, because of the scandal, her reputation in the neighborhood was completely ruined.

When she went out to dance in the square again, everyone pointed at her and said some very hurtful things.

She couldn't find an old man to rip her off, but she needed to spend money every day, so she could only wait and see if she could run into Lin Xiwei at the hospital where Junjun had been hospitalized.

After waiting for three days, I actually managed to catch her.

Seeing her reaction and recalling what she had seen in the living room when she returned home last time, Lin Xiwei quickly understood.

She boldly guessed, "You wouldn't have gotten into trouble with old men, swindling them out of their money, and then been beaten up by their families, would you?"

Zhao Xingfen's face paled in surprise, and her eyes became even more evasive.

Lin Xiwei knew she had guessed correctly.

She stared at Zhao Xingfen, her face filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

The sympathy I felt for her just now vanished without a trace.

"You could easily make three or four thousand a month washing dishes or working as a waiter, enough to support yourself. Why do something like this?"

Zhao Xingfen retorted angrily, "Can you stand washing dishes in this cold weather? Besides, if it weren't for your heartless actions in getting your father and brother arrested, I would still be a restaurant owner now. Would I be in this situation?"

Lin Xiwei curled her lips and sneered, "Don't blame everything on me. The restaurant you partnered with failed because of your own mismanagement, plus the fire safety issues that led to the inspection. I gave you 200,000 yuan in cash, isn't that more than enough?"

Zhao Xingfen tried to use moral blackmail, but found that she couldn't win the argument with Lin Xiwei no matter what she did.

Moreover, Lin Xiwei was sitting next to a renowned top lawyer.

After glancing at Qin Jiamo, Zhao Xingfen changed the subject and shifted the focus.

"Your father and brother went to jail because of this man, and you're still with him. All he did was beat you up, and you sent him to jail. He'll be serving six months, and with that criminal record, your brother's life will be ruined."

Qin Jiamo had remained silent until now.

It's inappropriate for a grown man like him to interfere in a dispute between women.

But since Zhao Xingfen had turned her anger towards him, he could only defend himself: "We lawyers strictly abide by laws and regulations. It is the law that punishes your husband and son, not me."

"Ha, everyone knows you're powerful and influential. You can let anyone in with just a word."

Qin Jiamo smiled, a rather eerie smile, and said slowly, "If I really had that ability, the next person to go in would be you."

Looking into his cold, sharp eyes, Zhao Xingfen felt a chill run down her spine and immediately fell silent.

Just then, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food.

Zhao Xingfen has been alone these days and hasn't had a proper meal of meat and fish in a long time.

Seeing the feast laid out before her, her eyes lit up. She swallowed hard, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat.

Lin Xiwei and Qin Jiamo looked at her, but neither of them moved.

Zhao Xingfen wolfed down her food.

Before all seven or eight dishes had been served, she was already full.

Sitting up, Zhao Xingfen took a sip of water, let out a burp, looked across at the table, and raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you eating?"

Lin Xiwei said bluntly, "Looking at you, I have no appetite."

Zhao Xingfen realized, "You despise me."

She then became angry, saying, "I raised you, and now that you've climbed the social ladder, you look down on me. You're such an ingrate."

Lin Xiwei did not offer any explanation.

She does indeed look down on Zhao Xingfen now.

Moreover, she knew that Qin Jiamo also disliked it, and if she started eating, it wouldn't be appropriate for Qin Jiamo to sit alone.

So she decided to go with her.

"Now that you're full, listen to what I have to say." Lin Xiwei sat up a little, her expression indifferent and serious.

When Zhao Xingfen saw the cream buns being served, she immediately grabbed another one and stuffed it into her mouth, while simultaneously asking the waiter to bring four takeout boxes.

Hearing Lin Xiwei's words, she rolled her eyes at the person opposite her, "You're definitely not here for anything good."

Lin Xiwei cut to the chase, dropping a bombshell: "It seems my biological parents have appeared."

Zhao Xingfen held a lunch bag in one hand and a water glass in the other.

Upon hearing this, she choked on the water she had just drunk, spitting saliva all over the table.

"You, cough cough... what did you say?" Her eyes widened, she coughed, trying to catch her breath, and couldn't believe it.

Lin Xiwei remained calm and continued, "They sent people to find me, but I don't want to acknowledge them. I need your cooperation."

Actually, Sheng Ruichen's decision to come to Jiangcheng to find her was mostly his own.

His aunt and uncle are most likely unaware of this matter.

But Lin Xiwei didn't need to explain in such detail to Zhao Xingfen, so she just glossed over it with a simple sentence.

Zhao Xingfen was still coughing, her face flushed, and her eyes flashed with panic. She hurriedly asked, "Your biological parents...who are they? Where are they from? How...how did they find you?"

Lin Xiwei said decisively, "That's none of your business. In short, I don't want to acknowledge them. I need you to come with me and say that you are my biological mother and that they have made a mistake. That's enough."

"Why?" Zhao Xingfen asked, puzzled. "Your biological parents have found you, isn't that a good thing? Why don't you acknowledge them?"

Lin Xiwei remained expressionless. "I have my reasons. You just need to do as I say."

Zhao Xingfen stared at her, her eyes darting around, before suddenly sneering contemptuously, "I get it. It must be that your biological parents are very poor, and you don't want to support them in their old age, so you're unwilling to acknowledge them."

Lin Xiwei smiled but did not respond.

Let her misunderstand.

Zhao Xingfen gritted her teeth and cursed again: "You are so heartless. We raised you and you don't acknowledge us. Your own parents gave birth to you and you don't acknowledge them either. How can a heartless and ruthless woman like you meet such a rich man? God must be blind."

Lin Xiwei ignored this and didn't bother to argue. She simply asked, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, then forget it."

"Fine, I'll do it, but what's in it for me?"

Lin Xiwei scoffed, "Benefits? You're helping yourself, and you're asking me for benefits?"

"What do you mean by helping myself? I'm clearly helping you."

Zhao Xingfen twisted her face, "Lin Xiwei, you're so shameless now! You're a completely different person from before!"

Lin Xiwei leaned back in her chair, looking at her angry and gloomy face, and said slowly, "Can you honestly tell me how I came to the Lin family?"

"This... why are you bringing this up again? I already said I picked it up at the train station." Zhao Xingfen rolled her eyes and turned her face away.
