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

"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense!"

Lin Xiwei never expected her best friend to be so bold as to say those words so sweetly in front of Qin Jiamo!

She quickly stopped, but ended up tearing her wound by pressing her mouth too hard, causing her face to contort in pain.

"You're covered in injuries, why are you so agitated?" Chu Qing complained with concern, then turned to look at Qin Jiamo.

"Attorney Qin, do you have any ice water in your car? Quickly grab a bottle of water and apply it to her face to cool it down, otherwise the swelling will be even worse tomorrow."

Chu Qing directed Qin Jiamo without the slightest hesitation.

Qin Jiamo was also taken aback when he heard this.

Given his status and position, people usually treat him with utmost respect, even speaking to him with extreme caution.

And this woman, whom he knew absolutely nothing about, dared to order him around so openly.

He didn't want to pay attention, but seeing Lin Xiwei's miserable state, his brain involuntarily issued a command—to reach out, open the car's mini-fridge, and take out a bottle of ice water.

"Hmm." He pursed his lips and made a sound, handing the water to Lin Xiwei.

Lin Xiwei glanced at him, "Thank you..." and reached out to take the water.

Chu Qing kept turning her head to look behind her, and seeing this, she continued to play her trump card, "Attorney Qin, you've never had a girlfriend, have you? How come you don't know how to be gentle with women at all? Weiwei's arm is injured too, it'll hurt a lot for her to hold the water bottle by herself."

Han Rui, who was driving next to her, had been able to hold back his laughter until he heard this, and he almost burst out laughing.

This Miss Chu is practically a reincarnation of a matchmaker; she's not even afraid of someone with her boss's status and aura. She's truly amazing!

Lin Xiwei was completely overwhelmed.

"Qingqing, that's enough! If you say another word, I'll kick you out of the car." Lin Xiwei was so embarrassed she wanted to jump off, so she could only threaten her best friend.

"Oh, this is Attorney Qin's car. You're making decisions so quickly?" Chu Qing, true to her reputation as a socialite, wasn't afraid of being threatened.

Lin Xiwei: "..."

She deeply regretted letting her best friend get in the car; she should have let her take a taxi home herself.

Qin Jiamo had never experienced anything like this before, being subjected to such close-quarters combat and being repeatedly and haphazardly paired up with someone.

He suddenly spoke, his deep, authoritative tone carrying a hint of polite distance: "Han Rui, pull over and ask Miss Chu to get out."

What?

Lin Xiwei turned to look at him.

for real?

This is on an overpass!

Sure enough, Chu Qing was also stunned, staring wide-eyed at Qin Jiamo: "Attorney Qin, you can't be serious? It's hard for me to get a taxi here."

"Then shut up." His tone was gentle and even flat, but his aura was overwhelming.

"..." Chu Qing pursed her lips, remained silent, and obediently turned around and sat down.

Lin Xiwei couldn't help but want to laugh, but her face was really sore, and her muscles were uncomfortable no matter where she touched, so she had to hold it in.

In her opinion, Chu Qing and Attorney Qin are a perfect match.

One is cold, the other is hot; one is still, the other is active. Both of them are skilled with words, but they excel in different areas.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to play matchmaker for Attorney Qin.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chu Qing leaned closer and whispered, "This person's aura is too strong. I'd better leave first. Call me if you need anything."

Lin Xiwei grabbed her: "You're injured too, aren't you going to get checked out?"

"I'm fine, I can handle the minor injuries myself." After saying that, Chu Qing looked at Qin Jiamo and smiled shamelessly, "Attorney Qin, I'm leaving Weiwei in your care, okay? You'd better take good care of her."

Lin Xiwei: "Qingqing!"

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving!" Chu Qing waved her hand dismissively and turned to leave.

Lin Xiwei looked at Qin Jiamo, smiled with a "distorted" expression, and said, "Attorney Qin, my best friend loves to joke, you... don't take it to heart."

Qin Jiamo: "Am I that kind of person?"

"..." Lin Xiwei remained silent, thinking to herself that lawyers are the most fond of arguing, always making a big deal out of nothing.

"They say birds of a feather flock together, but why don't you have Miss Chu's arrogant and domineering spirit? You've been bullied like this."

As Qin Jiamo spoke, his eyes swept over her, his brows furrowed deeply.

"..." Lin Xiwei was speechless again.

Was he praising or being sarcastic?

Why did she see a hint of heartache in this person's eyes?

Lin Xiwei only dared to grumble inwardly, not daring to ask outright.

Soon, it was her turn.

After examining her skin injuries, the doctor disinfected all the broken skin.

When the doctor's hand touched her back during the examination, she let out a scream, which startled Qin Jiamo.

"Your back pain is severe. I suggest you get an X-ray; there might be a fracture," the doctor said based on experience.

Qin Jiamo stood to the side and nodded without hesitation: "Then let's film it."

Han Rui quickly pushed a wheelchair over. Lin Xiwei looked a little embarrassed and said, "That's too much. No need. I can walk by myself."

Qin Jiamo: "Then let her walk over there; it's best to make her injuries worse by causing her to fuss."

"..." Lin Xiwei was speechless, looking at him, "What do you mean?"

Curse her?

"It doesn't mean anything. Anyway, I'm already injured. Focusing on the injury is more beneficial. It's best to reach the standard of minor injury." Qin Jiamo replied to her in a formulaic tone.

Lin Xiwei was stunned, unsure how to respond.

Is it to say he's cold-blooded? Or to praise his professionalism?

Because of her experience of domestic violence, she also knows that many sentencing standards are based on whether or not the injury constitutes minor injury.

On the way here, she had already reached an agreement with Qin Jiamo to get her awful father imprisoned.

In that case, it is indeed better for her to be as badly injured as possible.

Han Rui was stunned when he heard this, unsure whether he should push Lin Xiwei in a wheelchair.

Lin Xiwei was unsure whether she should sit down.

Seeing her frozen in shock, Qin Jiamo's expression grew even more disdainful. "What are you standing there for? Do you really intend to force yourself to walk over there?"

Lin Xiwei then realized that he had been being sarcastic.

He just spoke so seriously that she couldn't tell the difference.

After realizing what had happened, Lin Xiwei felt a burning hatred in her heart.

She suppressed her anger as she sat in her wheelchair, muttering, "I knew I shouldn't have called you over."

Han Rui pushed the wheelchair, with Qin Jiamo beside him, and said, "Then next time you should remember 'if only I had known,' after all, I'm very busy and can't be available whenever I call."

Han Rui curled his lips, suppressing his laughter.

He felt that the boss's image was very different in front of Miss Lin.

Although the boss is usually sarcastic, he doesn't argue or bicker. He usually just says one thing and leaves the other person speechless.

But with Miss Lin, he always leaves some room for maneuver, waiting for her to retaliate before he continues.

How to describe this feeling? It's similar to an owner teasing their pet.

Han Rui pondered this in his mind for a while, and when he realized that he had compared Lin Xiwei to a "little pet," he was startled and immediately came to his senses.

Lin Xiwei went to get an X-ray, and sure enough, the doctor was right.

She has two transverse process fractures in her lumbar vertebrae.

"Although the fracture isn't too serious, the location is unusual. If you don't rest properly, you'll experience frequent back pain in the future. And thankfully, the fracture isn't severe; otherwise, a broken fracture here could very likely result in hemiplegia," the doctor explained to them in detail, holding up the CT scan.

Lin Xiwei, sitting in her wheelchair, was stunned after hearing this.

She was beaten by her own father and brother, resulting in a fractured transverse process of her lumbar vertebra, which could have led to hemiplegia if the injury had been more severe...

What kind of family members are they?

Seeing that she was sitting there blankly without saying a word, Qin Jiamo turned to look at her, his brows furrowing.

"Congratulations, your father can really go in this time. This constitutes a minor injury, level one, which is a criminal offense, punishable by at least three years," Qin Jiamo said indifferently.

Lin Xiwei glanced up at him and replied indifferently, "Thank you."

She was so badly injured, and they still said "congratulations" to her.

Since we're already at the hospital, we might as well get a medical examination to assess the extent of our injuries.

But throughout the rest of the process, Lin Xiwei didn't say much, only speaking briefly when the doctor asked her.

Qin Jiamo stood to the side, his expression equally somber, and remained silent.

Han Rui said in a low voice, "Boss, Miss Lin seems very sad."

"nonsense."

She was just subjected to domestic violence by her husband a few days ago, and now she's being beaten by her own father and brother—even a tough person can get hurt and even question the meaning of life.

Han Rui: "Boss, are we really going to send Miss Lin's father to jail?"

"What, are you being soft-hearted?"

"Of course not. I think that for at least three years, her mother will be crying and making a scene, and who knows what she will do to make things difficult for Miss Lin then," Han Rui said with a sigh.

Family blood ties are not like a marital relationship, where you can get a divorce if things don't work out.

The law stipulates that children have an obligation to support their parents. No matter how unreasonable the parents are, Ms. Lin cannot escape this responsibility and obligation.

Besides, she "got" her father and brother into prison, so wouldn't her mother be even more determined to fight her?

Even if you get revenge, you'll still suffer every day.

Qin Jiamo remained silent, perhaps trying to find a solution for Lin Xiwei.

After the forensic examination was completed, it was already quite late.

Lin Xiwei had just left the hospital when her phone rang.

She glanced at the shattered screen; it was a call from her colleague. Only then did she realize it was already 3 p.m.

Oh no, I can't go to work now, I'll have to take leave eventually.

She answered the phone and explained to her colleagues that she was injured and in the hospital and couldn't go back.

"Then you should tell Manager Feng that you're still in your internship and need to be careful," a colleague kindly suggested.

Lin Xiwei really didn't want Feng Zheqian to know that she was injured again, but she had no choice but to call him after thinking about it.

On the other end, Feng Zheqian quickly answered: "Hello, Xiwei."

"Manager Feng, I need to ask for leave. I might not be able to come to work this week," Lin Xiwei said with difficulty.

Feng Zheqian asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is the child's condition serious?"

"No, it's me. I'm injured. I fractured my lumbar vertebra. The doctor said I need to rest for a few days."

While Lin Xiwei was on the phone, Han Rui pushed her towards the parking lot.

Before she could finish her call, her wheelchair had already arrived next to Qin Jiamo's Maybach.

Han Rui opened the back door, and Lin Xiwei naturally prepared to get in.

But as soon as she exerted force, a sharp pain shot through her back, as if all her strength had been instantly drained.

She cried out in pain and fell back into her wheelchair completely out of control.

"Miss Lin!" Han Rui was standing next to the car, unable to react in time.

Qin Jiamo instinctively reached out, but only managed to grab Lin Xiwei's arm, offering no cushioning effect.

Upon hearing the voice, Feng Zheqian immediately asked with concern, "Lin Xiwei, what happened? Is your injury serious? Which hospital are you in?"

Lin Xiwei's face turned deathly pale, and she held her lower back with her other hand, unable to speak for a moment.

"Manager Feng, I'm sorry... I'll ask for leave this week. I know I shouldn't take leave so frequently during my internship. If it affects my performance evaluation, I'll take responsibility for it myself."

After Lin Xiwei finished speaking, she hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

Although she cherished this job and had even rejected Qin Jiamo's suggestion that she "not go to work" that morning, she really had no choice now.

In any case, good health is the most important thing.

She also has Junjun to take care of, and she can't afford to have any health problems.

Qin Jiamo's face tightened as he stared at her pained expression. Without much hesitation, he suddenly bent down.

Lin Xiwei didn't react immediately, only seeing the handsome face suddenly close by, she was a little confused: "Attorney Qin...you—"

"Raise your arm and put it on my shoulder," Qin Jiamo reminded her casually, without looking at her.

Lin Xiwei was still in pain, but suddenly it dawned on her, "You...you want to hug me?"

"Then what? You climb into the car?" Qin Jiamo turned to look at her, his handsome face sour beyond description.

Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then raised her arm and hooked it around his neck.

Qin Jiamo put one arm around her from behind and the other arm went under her knees to lift her up steadily.

Princess hug.

As the two became so intimate, Lin Xiwei caught a whiff of his fresh and pleasant scent, which immediately reminded her of the clothes he had lent her a few days ago. At that time, her nose was filled with this scent, making her heart race.

And now, it's the same.

Han Rui watched this scene in shock, but dared not say anything. After Qin Jiamo picked up Lin Xiwei, he quickly went over to fold up the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.

Qin Jiamo carried the person into the car, putting them down gently and carefully.

Lin Xiwei sensed it too, but dared not utter a sound.

Her face was burning, and she couldn't tell whether it was the heat from shyness and nervousness or the swelling from her injury.

"Thank you, Attorney Qin." She sat up, slowly relaxing her body, glanced at the man, and thanked him.

Qin Jiamo got into the car, her sharp tongue unchanged: "Now I also want to say 'If only I had known'."

Lin Xiwei was stunned. "What?"

"If I had known you would be this troublesome, I shouldn't have made an exception in the first place."

I shouldn't have made an exception and accepted her divorce case, which led to so many other problems.

Lin Xiwei realized after hearing this that he thought she was troublesome.

She was powerless to refute it, because it was the truth.

"I've never been a male servant to a client before; you're the first," Qin Jiamo continued to demonstrate his skills.

Lin Xiwei had been having all sorts of wild thoughts, feeling shy and embarrassed, but upon hearing the term "the person involved," her mind suddenly cleared.

So it turns out they only considered her as someone involved in the incident.

"I...I can pay the lawyer's fees normally, I'll have the money soon," Lin Xiwei said proactively, trying to justify her actions.

Qin Jiamo: "I'm short of money?"

"..." Lin Xiwei was speechless. She stared at him for a while, then muttered, "If you really don't want to care, you can just ignore it. I can't do anything to you."
