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

Looking at his mother's reaction, little Junjun asked innocently, "Mom, don't you like Uncle?"

"Of course I don't like it!"

Lin Xiwei responded instinctively, but then realized something was off and quickly added something else.

"Uh...it's not that I don't like him, it's just...Mom and Uncle can't like each other. Uncle is Uncle, he can't be my father."

Hongjie listened silently from the side, increasingly confused about the identity of that Mr. Qin.

As a nanny, it was inappropriate for her to inquire about her employers' affairs.

Just because Junjun looks a bit like Mr. Qin, she secretly imagined a dramatic story of an affair and an illegitimate child...

As Junjun listened to his mother's explanation, he became more and more confused. In the end, he only remembered one sentence: "Mom doesn't like Uncle, and Uncle can't be my father."

After finishing her meal, Lin Xiwei still felt uneasy, so she held her son's hand and looked at him intently.

"Honey, Mommy is telling you, you shouldn't discuss this issue with your uncle anymore. Just get along well with him."

"Oh." Junjun nodded obediently.

"Also, your uncle will come later to take us to see your two grandparents. You've met them before; they're the two grandparents who saved you when your maternal grandparents came over and tried to secretly take you away."

Lin Xiwei was thinking that she was going to visit the Qin family elders later, so she needed to tell her son beforehand.

Junjun asked, puzzled, "Why do we have to see those two grandpas and grandmas?"

Lin Xiwei was troubled again. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Because Junjun is handsome and smart, those two grandpas and grandmas really like Junjun and want to play with you."

"Sigh... Being handsome has its troubles too," the little guy sighed adorably.

Lin Xiwei chuckled and patted her son's bald head.

"Baby, being liked by many people is a kind of happiness that you can't ask for. You'll understand when you grow up."

In this respect, the son is luckier than himself.

She grew up in a loveless family, and her heart was like barren soil, unable to bloom any beautiful flowers, nor could she feel love and happiness.

But the son is different.

Her son has her complete maternal love, and although he has lost his father's love, he will soon have a replacement.

Even the part about being a substitute far surpasses the original fatherly love.

Her baby won't be as miserable and pitiful as she is.

Hongjie listened silently to the scene, continuing to imagine the dramatic scene unfolding before her eyes—it seemed they were getting a divorce, no longer hiding it, and were going directly to meet the child's biological grandparents with the child's biological father.

Thinking about it this way, Sister Hong secretly despised Lin Xiwei in her heart.

The phone rang, and Lin Xiwei picked it up and glanced at it, her brows furrowing slightly.

It's another number for Su Yunfan.

Why did he suddenly contact me?

Thinking he wanted to discuss divorce, Lin Xiwei hesitated for a moment, then turned away from her son and answered the phone in a low voice: "Feed..."

"Lin Xiwei, when did you hire bodyguards? Now I'm even being prevented from seeing my child!"

On the other end of the phone, Su Yunfan asked angrily.

Lin Xiwei was surprised: "You've come to the hospital?"

She turned around, opened the door, and walked to the elevator area at the end of the corridor, where she saw Su Yunfan being stopped by two bodyguards.

To be honest, she goes to and from the ward many times a day, but this is the first time she has seen these bodyguards.

The people Qin Jiamo arranged were indeed reliable.

They usually hide in the shadows and are completely undetectable.

They appear promptly and play a role when needed.

"Lin Xiwei, is this how you squandered that million? How much does it cost to hire bodyguards every day?" Su Yunfan questioned Lin Xiwei again when he saw her come out.

Lin Xiwei didn't respond, but politely said to the bodyguard, "Let him go."

The bodyguard stopped, and Su Yunfan angrily dusted off his clothes and stepped forward.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Xiwei asked coldly.

"Can't I come see Junjun?"

"If you don't love him, why are you even here?"

"Who said I don't love him anymore? I've raised him for three years. Even a dog has feelings, let alone a living child."

Lin Xiwei rolled her eyes at the analogy and turned to leave.

Su Yunfan tried to chase after him, but the bodyguards immediately stopped him again. "Mr. Su, please leave, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Su Yunfan stopped being arrogant and immediately apologized: "Weiwei, I misspoke. I just wanted to see Junjun and, by the way, talk to you about the division of assets."

Property distribution?

Lin Xiwei turned around and gestured again for the bodyguard to let go.

This time, Su Yunfan behaved himself and followed Lin Xiwei into the ward.

Seeing his son playing with toys on the hospital bed, he went over and acted as a loving father.

"Junjun, do you miss your dad?"

Junjun didn't answer, but instead asked, "Did Daddy miss me?"

Su Yunfan said, "Of course Dad wants to! He thinks about it every single day!"

"Then why didn't you come to see me?" The child's question stunned him.

Lin Xiwei stood aside, sneering inwardly.

Even a three-year-old isn't easily fooled.

"Dad's busy with work, but he had some free time today, so he came to see you," Su Yunfan said with a smile, trying to comfort the child.

"You didn't come to see me, you came to argue with Mom again, didn't you?"

"..." Su Yunfan was speechless again.

Even Lin Xiwei was surprised this time.

When did this little guy become so sharp-tongued, even a bit sarcastic?

Much, much later, after she had fully discovered the child's identity, she finally understood where his sharp tongue and biting wit came from...

Seeing that her son didn't seem interested in talking to her, Lin Xiwei took the initiative to intervene, "Didn't you say you were here to discuss the division of assets?"

Su Yunfan got up and walked towards her, glancing at Sister Hong first, "Sister Hong, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Hongjie was just about to listen to what was going on when she was told to leave.

After Sister Hong left, Su Yunfan walked up to Lin Xiwei.

He stared at Lin Xiwei for a long time, putting on a pitying and sympathetic look. "Weiwei, you've lost weight."

"..." Lin Xiwei sneered, "Don't be disgusting. Now that things have come to this, do you think I'd still believe your feigned sincerity?"

"I'm sincere. I know your parents threatened to jump off a building to force you to give them money. It's my fault. I shouldn't have told them I gave you a million."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei became even more furious.

"Su Yunfan, are you a performer? You just wanted me to be exploited by my parents so you could get revenge on me. What are you pretending to be repentant for? Besides, that million was given to me by you!"

She even laughed in anger when she said the last sentence.

When her child was hospitalized, she was penniless and asked him for money, but he wouldn't even answer her phone.

She had to sell all her bags and jewelry to barely scrape together the deposit.

Now he shamelessly claims that he gave him that million?

This resounding question made Su Yunfan feel embarrassed.

"I..." he stammered, unable to speak.

Lin Xiwei said coldly, "Stop pretending, just tell me why you came here."

Su Yunfan had intended to show goodwill and ease the tension between the two so that he could discuss the next steps.

Now that he had tried to do something foolish, he realized that Lin Xiwei was not easy to fool, and he lost his confidence.

But he still smiled and said, "Weiwei, I'm here to talk to you. Can we get a divorce by mutual agreement? I agree to split the assets equally, and I'll pay child support every month. What do you think?"

Lin Xiwei saw right through his thoughts.

"Didn't you insist that I leave with nothing? Why are you suddenly being kind?"

"That... it was all Zhong Yurou who instigated me. I originally wanted to part ways with you amicably."

Lin Xiwei looked at him and felt even more shameless.

They actually shifted the blame to Zhong Yurou.

"So now you've agreed to give me half of the property, aren't you afraid she'll get angry and cause trouble?" Lin Xiwei asked deliberately.

"Never mind her, you deserve it."

Su Yunfan looked as if he had suddenly realized his mistake and was ready to start anew.

If it were someone else, they might believe it and genuinely think he still had a conscience.

But Lin Xiwei knew him too well.

She hesitated for a moment, then bluntly exposed him: "You wouldn't be doing this because you can't find a lawyer, so you're backing down, hoping to salvage half of your assets through a strategic retreat, would you?"

"How could that be? With the money, how could I not be able to hire a lawyer?" Su Yunfan retorted too quickly, making him seem even more guilty.

"Ha, so what if you have the money? Looking around Jiangcheng, there aren't many colleagues who dare to challenge Attorney Qin, are there? And you're not willing to spend the money on the truly powerful and famous ones."

It has to be said that Lin Xiwei really knows the man she has shared a bed with for four years inside and out.

Su Yunfan hesitated, his expression turning even more unpleasant.

"I knew it," Lin Xiwei sneered, mockingly. "It's really kind of you to try and fool me with your tail between your legs."

"No, Weiwei. I just think it's unnecessary. I've inquired about it; Qin Jiamo's agency fee is astronomical. Even if you win the case, he'll still make all the money. Why bother? Let's get a divorce, and I'll give you half. We won't let outsiders earn that money!"

No sooner had Su Yunfan finished speaking than the ward door was pushed open, and Qin Jiamo strode in with her head held high.

"Who said I wanted Ms. Lin's legal fees? I'm representing Ms. Lin in this case free of charge, not a single penny." Qin Jiamo's calm tone was astonishing.

What?!

Su Yunfan suddenly turned his head, his face filled with shock, wondering if he had misheard.

Lin Xiwei was equally incredulous.

She stared intently at Qin Jiamo's cold and dignified face, her mouth slightly open, her expression frozen.

How is that possible?

He must have said that on purpose in front of Su Yunfan, deliberately slapping him in the face and venting his anger.

Lin Xiwei felt grateful to him again.

"Attorney Qin? What are you doing here?" Su Yunfan asked curiously.

Qin Jiamo said, "I have an appointment with Miss Lin to discuss some matters, is that not allowed?"

Su Yunfan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

His thoughts were pulled back when he thought of "no money required".

"You say you don't charge for lawsuits? How is that possible? Everyone knows your glorious legend of being invincible, Attorney Qin. High-ranking officials who want to sue you are scrambling to raise their commissions, and they still might not be able to hire you." Su Yunfan came to his senses and asked excitedly.

Qin Jiamo, tall and elegant, raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "That's true, but I don't want to accept Miss Lin's commission—Does Mr. Su have any objections?"

Lin Xiwei's heartstrings trembled, and her gaze fell on Qin Jiamo again, a warm current flowing into her heart.

I can't remember the last time I felt this way, being favored.

"You—" Su Yunfan was speechless, his gaze shifting between the two of them, somewhat exasperated. "Lin Xiwei, what exactly is your relationship with him? You actually managed to hire him as your divorce lawyer, and for free!"

The last sentence was sung in a broken voice, clearly indicating that Su Yunfan had lost his composure.

The ward was completely silent.

Lin Xiwei hadn't recovered from the warmth Qin Jiamo brought when little Junjun on the hospital bed suddenly spoke up, "Uncle, come and play with my building blocks."

"Uncle?" Su Yunfan was startled again, his face scrunched up, his eyes full of question marks. "What uncle? What exactly are you...?"

Before he could finish his question, his gaze fell on Qin Jiamo's face, then suddenly turned to Xiao Junjun on the hospital bed.

Su Yunfan was shocked; he had made an earth-shattering discovery!

"You...that child looks just like you—" Su Yunfan was so shocked by this realization that he questioned his existence, and even staggered backward unsteadily.

He stared intently at Lin Xiwei, raising his hand to accuse her: "You slut! You and him, you two have been... all that IVF and sperm donation stuff, it was all a lie to me. You two have been having an affair for a long time, and that child is yours, isn't it? You two conspired together—"

"Slap!" Before he could finish his nonsense, Lin Xiwei rushed up and slapped him hard across the face.

Upon hearing the sound of a slap, the bodyguards waiting outside immediately rushed in with practiced ease.

Su Yunfan was even more enraged after being hit. Just as he was about to rush forward to retaliate, the bodyguards restrained him from both sides.

"Su Yunfan, are you a mad dog? You bite anyone you see! I only recently met Attorney Qin, and our relationship isn't what you're imagining at all! Junjun is a sperm donor! You're the one who couldn't be a man because you were impotent, and you begged me to do the sperm donor IVF! And now you're turning around and biting me!"

Lin Xiwei may not care about being wronged, but she will not allow Qin Jiamo to be slandered.

The young master of the prestigious Qin family, with power, influence, and status, was labeled a "lover" simply for helping him out.

How could she possibly bear this!

But Su Yunfan refused to believe it.

Even with bodyguards flanking him, he continued shouting, "If you two weren't adulterers, why would he help you like this? How did you, a housewife, get to know such an important person like him? He even made an exception to help you with your case, and didn't even charge you lawyer fees!"

"Yes, you said it yourself, what makes me, a housewife, think I can climb up to such a big shot? He could have any kind of socialite or rich heiress he wanted!"

Upon hearing this question, Su Yunfan's expression froze.

"But...but Junjun looks so much like him! He's clearly his biological son..."

Su Yunfan was confused, his gaze shifting back and forth between the child and Qin Jiamo's face.

In the end, he chose to trust his own judgment: "In short, there's definitely something going on between you two! Lin Xiwei, I really underestimated you. I never imagined you'd orchestrate such a grand scheme, not only cheating on me but also trying to leave me with nothing!"

Lin Xiwei was speechless and too tired to argue any further.

"Whatever, I think you're impotent and can't be a man, and your mind is twisted and perverted."

Given Qin Jiamo's status, there was no need to explain anything to him.

He merely glanced at the bodyguard, who immediately understood and escorted Su Yunfan out.

"Lin Xiwei, let me tell you, I won't admit defeat! You want me to leave with nothing? No way! I'll make sure everyone knows about your scandal!"

Su Yunfan was forcibly taken away, but he was still shouting filthy words.

Lin Xiwei felt embarrassed and awkward.

She turned to look at Qin Jiamo, her face troubled: "Attorney Qin, I'm sorry, I meant well in helping me, but I've gotten myself into trouble."

Qin Jiamo smiled faintly, clearly not caring at all.

"It's okay, ignore him. The court has already served the summons. The hearing is in a month, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, your marriage will end in a month."

Lin Xiwei was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Yes," Qin Jiamo nodded, "What, are you hesitating?"

"Of course not." Lin Xiwei shook her head. "It's just that I looked it up before, and it said that filing for divorce takes at least three months, and in many cases, it takes more than six months."

Qin Jiamo: "That's someone else."

These four simple words demonstrate Attorney Qin's effortless control.

While other people's divorce proceedings take so long, the cases Qin Jiamo handles don't.

Lin Xiwei looked at him, feeling a surge of admiration.

The ward fell silent for a moment, then Junjun suddenly sighed, "I knew it. Dad didn't come to see me; he came to argue with Mom."

Lin Xiwei snapped out of her daze, walked to the bedside, and touched her son's little face. "Baby, did I scare you?"

"No." Junjun shook his head, looked up and asked, "Mommy, why did Daddy suddenly become like this...?"

Looking at her son's disappointed and sad eyes, Lin Xiwei felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Honey, people change. Some people become better, and some become worse. You'll understand when you grow up." She said in a dazed tone, trying to enlighten her son.

Qin Jiamo turned around, glanced at her watch, and asked, "Are you still free?"

"Yes, let's go, we'll take the child to visit your parents."

Lin Xiwei wanted to repay him wholeheartedly. Even if she was late for work and was criticized by her boss today, she would keep her promise and not reschedule.

She picked up her son and smiled gently, "Baby, let's go see those two grandpas and grandmas. They'll be so happy to see you."

Xiao Junjun nodded.

Lin Xiwei smiled gently, "Attorney Qin, let's go."

The two of them took the child out of the ward and headed towards the north building.

Lin Xiwei was still thinking about what had just happened. After considering it carefully, she said, "Attorney Qin, you said you didn't want the commission. I know you said that on purpose to provoke him. I will definitely pay the commission after the case is over."

Qin Jiamo said in a slow, deep voice, "You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to provoke him. I'll represent him in this case for free."

what?

Lin Xiwei, holding the child, froze in her tracks.

"Attorney Qin, this... how can this be? You are so busy, and I am already very grateful that you could take the time out of your busy schedule to help me with this case. How can I let you work for nothing?"

Qin Jiamo stopped and turned to face her. "It wasn't all for nothing. You agreed to let the child stay with my parents, and I represented you in your divorce case. Wasn't that all agreed upon a long time ago?"

"..." Lin Xiwei clicked her tongue again, paused for a moment, and then said, "What I understand is that as long as you are willing to help me win the case, that's enough."

"That's not what I understand."

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Qin Jiamo reached out to the child in her arms, "Junjun, how about your uncle holds you?"

"Mmm." Junjun opened his arms, and Qin Jiamo took them from him.

Lin Xiwei came to her senses when her arms suddenly felt empty.

Seeing the man turn and walk away with the child in his arms, she quickly followed. "Attorney Qin, you've helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you."

This is the truth.

Suddenly encountering someone being so kind to her, so kind that it felt unreal, made her feel a little apprehensive.

Qin Jiamo gently and loosely held the child, her steps steady and her tone calm: "Then let the child spend more time with my parents."

"Sure, as long as Junjun is willing, I have no objection."

Lin Xiwei has been completely "bought off" by Qin Jiamo, and she is happy to see things go as long as it doesn't go against her son's wishes.

The three of them soon arrived at the North Building.

When they reached the luxurious ward at the end of the corridor, Qin Jiamo stopped. "My mother is staying in this ward. You can bring your child over when you have time."

Lin Xiwei nodded: "Okay."

Thinking about how she would soon officially meet her child's biological grandparents, Lin Xiwei had mixed feelings.

Qin Jiamo, holding the child, turned to look at her with downcast eyes: "Don't worry, my parents are very easy to get along with, so you don't need to be nervous or reserved."

She forced a smile. "Yes, I'm ready."

Qin Jiamo pushed open the door and carried the child inside.

Lin Xiwei clenched her hands and followed, falling half a step behind him.

In the ward, Old Madam Qin had just finished lunch and hadn't rested yet.

Mr. Qin was brewing tea, and the two old men were chatting casually.

Upon seeing their son arrive, the couple turned to look at him simultaneously.

Before they could speak, both of them turned their gaze to the little boy in their son's arms.

In an instant, Madam Qin's expression changed, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Jiamo, this..." The old lady became agitated instantly, supporting herself on the bed with both hands, trying to sit up.

Upon seeing this, the caregiver immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Madam Qin had met Lin Xiwei before, so they were acquainted.

A smile spread across her face as she glanced at Lin Xiwei, her joy tinged with benevolent excitement.

Mr. Qin was equally surprised and immediately stood up, but he moved too quickly and knocked over the teacup.

The butler was startled and rushed forward: "Master, be careful, are you burned?"

The old man didn't care whether he was burned or not; he quickly went to greet his son, "Jiamo, this child..."

Qin Jiamo glanced at Lin Xiwei and explained to his parents, "I've spoken with Miss Lin, and she's agreed to let the child come and keep you company."

"That's wonderful, wonderful!" Old Madam Qin murmured repeatedly, looking at Lin Xiwei with kind eyes. "Thank you, Miss Lin. My husband and I were very rude that day, it was really inappropriate."

Looking at the two elders who were so approachable and kind, Lin Xiwei felt extremely regretful.

"I'm sorry, I was rude that day. You helped me, but I was petty..." she quickly apologized, her face flushed.

Seeing that both sides were being so polite, Qin Jiamo interrupted directly: "Let's not talk about the past. You can see the child whenever you want, but the premise is that the child is willing to spend time with you."

Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Qin family exchanged glances, both overjoyed and unsure of what to do.

"Miss Lin, thank you so much! Jia Mo, please help Miss Lin to a seat and ask her what she would like to drink."

When people are happy, they are in high spirits. It seemed that Madam Qin's illness was cured in an instant, and her voice was stronger.

"Madam, my name is Lin Xiwei, you can just call me Weiwei, no need to be so polite." Lin Xiwei responded politely while reminding her son, "Sweetie, quickly call Grandpa and Grandma."

Little Junjun is a clever little thing. He knew he was very popular as soon as he saw the scene, so he immediately said sweetly, "Hello Grandpa, hello Grandma, my name is Su Chengjun, and I'm almost three years old."

"Oh my! This child is so good! He's clearly an outstanding individual and will surely achieve great things in the future." Old Madam Qin was so happy that tears almost streamed down her face.

Qin Jiamo asked the child, "Want to sit with Grandma by her bedside for a while?"

"Um!"

The little guy nodded, and Qin Jiamo then placed the child beside the hospital bed.

Old Madam Qin stroked the child's little arms and hands as if caressing a rare treasure.

Grandpa Qin immediately brought over all sorts of fruits and snacks, asking the little guy if he wanted any.

Junjun shook his head: "Grandpa, I just ate, my stomach is full."

As he spoke, he patted his belly lightly, a lovable gesture that made the two elders smile with delight.

Lin Xiwei's phone rang.

She glanced at it; it was a call from a colleague.

"Attorney Qin, I'm going out to take this call," she whispered to Qin Jiamo.

Qin Jiamo nodded.

As soon as she left, Old Madam Qin immediately asked her son, "How did you persuade them? You didn't use any underhanded methods, did you?"

Qin Jiamo: "Is your son that kind of person?"

"You, so suddenly, without even telling us beforehand. We didn't prepare anything for the child, nor did we prepare a gift for Miss Lin," Old Madam Qin complained to her son.

Qin Jiamo said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Lin Xiwei quickly finished the phone call and returned.

Qin Jiamo asked her, "Are you in a rush to get to work?"

"No, a colleague asked me something, but it's already been resolved. I just mentioned it to my supervisor and I'll be back half an hour later," Lin Xiwei explained with a smile.

The atmosphere in the ward was so wonderful that she was infected by it, and her eyes and brows were full of smiles.

She hadn't felt this harmonious atmosphere in a long time, and she was reluctant to leave.

Old Madam Qin looked at Junjun up close, admiring him dearly, and couldn't help but whisper to her husband, "He really looks like Yue Lang, the more I look at him, the more he looks like him."

The old man shook his head. "I think some of his expressions are more like Jia Mo's."

These words made Qin Jiamo's heart skip a beat, and his eyes darkened for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei asked Qin Jiamo in a low voice, "Aren't you planning to tell the elders about Junjun's identity?"
