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

Mr. Qin gestured to Butler Chen, who immediately presented him with a red brocade box.

"Weiwei, this jade pendant is one of the Qin family's heirlooms. It should have been given to Junjun, but he is still too young, so you can keep it for now."

After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he opened the brocade box. Lin Xiwei looked at the jade pendant, which was entirely green and translucent, and waved her hands in surprise.

"No, no, sir, this is absolutely not possible. It's too expensive; we can't afford it."

That imperial green jade pendant was extremely rare, completely green and translucent without any impurities, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved on it, and the entire jade ornament was as big as a child's palm.

She wouldn't even dare buy a fake one this big! How could she dare accept it?

The Qin family still has Qin Jiamo in charge, so it's not appropriate for a child like Junjun to receive this family heirloom.

Madam Qin advised, "Junjun is the eldest grandson of the Qin family. According to the rules, he belongs to him."

"No." Lin Xiwei was flattered and turned to Qin Jiamo, signaling with her eyes for him to help persuade him.

Qin Jiamo stood up and slowly walked over, her upper body stiff.

He glanced at the gifts and seemed fairly satisfied.

"Let's put the family heirloom aside for now. The child is too young to understand what it means. You'd be better off buying him some more delicious food and fun toys."

After persuading her parents with her previous words, Qin Jiamo then advised Lin Xiwei, "Keep the rest of these. They were specially prepared for you. We wouldn't need women's things if we kept them."

"No, it's really too expensive!" Lin Xiwei shook her head, looking troubled.

Qin Jiamo retorted directly, "Are you afraid we'll make demands if you don't accept the child? Are you afraid you'll feel indebted to us because you've eaten our food? Don't worry, we won't take the child from you."

"Of course not," Lin Xiwei quickly denied. "I didn't think that way. It's just that..."

She hesitated for a moment, then made an excuse: "I haven't even moved my house yet, and I'm at the hospital all the time. These things are too valuable, and I have nowhere to put them."

Lin Xiwei thought this reason would be enough to make them take back these valuable gifts, but to her surprise, Qin Jiamo simply picked up the villa key and handed it to her.

"Isn't this a ready-made house? It's bigger than the three-bedroom apartment I provided you before; you can fit as much stuff as you want."

"No, I can't take this villa either." Lin Xiwei shook her head vigorously.

Old Mrs. Qin asked her son curiously, "You gave Weiwei a house?"

Qin Jiamo explained, "She needed to move out and clear out the house in order to sell it, and she had nowhere to live temporarily, so I provided her with a three-bedroom apartment. But now she doesn't need it anymore; she can move directly to the villa."

"No……"

Lin Xiwei was about to refuse when Qin Jiamo took it upon himself to say, "Tomorrow's the weekend. I'll have someone pack your bags and move out as soon as possible. Your ex-husband is still thinking of appealing, and I'm afraid he might suddenly change his mind and refuse to give you the house."

In reality, no matter how much Su Yunfan tries, he can't possibly defeat Qin Jiamo.

Qin Jiamo said that on purpose to scare Lin Xiwei.

Sure enough, Lin Xiwei's expression tightened, and she nodded: "Indeed, we need to move out quickly, vacate the house, and put it up for sale as soon as possible."

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll take care of it—just give me your house key."

After Qin Jiamo finished speaking, she looked at Butler Chen and said, "Just send these things directly to Greentown Villa."

"Yes, young master."

"Attorney Qin, these really are..." Lin Xiwei looked troubled, but she really couldn't refuse.

Finally, she could only look at the Qin family elders and express her heartfelt gratitude: "Madam, thank you. It is the luckiest thing in Junjun's life to have your love."

"Weiwei, stop calling us 'old lady' all the time. Since we don't have any daughters, how about..."

Madam Qin glanced at her husband, and the two looked at each other, clearly reaching some kind of consensus.

"Why don't you become our goddaughter? Your parents are unreliable anyway, so we'll treat you like our own daughter from now on."

"Madam Qin said with a smile."

Lin Xiwei was so shocked that her mouth dropped open, and she was so excited and happy that she didn't know how to express herself.

"This... Madam, how could I possibly deserve such love from you?" Lin Xiwei felt like she was dreaming.

Qin Jiamo frowned as he listened to his parents' suggestion, seemingly somewhat displeased.

"Mom, you guys are so old-fashioned. What era are we living in? Who still worships godfathers and godmothers these days?"

Qin Jiamo voiced her objection, and then advised Lin Xiwei, "You don't necessarily have to agree."

"..." Lin Xiwei was a little stunned, looking at him unsure how to respond.

He must feel that he is not good enough for her.

Back then, when Old Madam Qin wanted to matchmake the two of them, he interrupted her directly, not letting her finish speaking at all.

Now, the old lady wants to take her in as her goddaughter, but he opposes it.

Lin Xiwei's excitement and joy subsided a little, and her mind cleared up.

Indeed, one should not be greedy.

She has already gained status through her son and received so much help and favor from the Qin family; she shouldn't ask for more.

Lin Xiwei quickly calmed down and smiled at the two elders, saying, "Madam, thank you for your kindness, but things are fine as they are."

"What's wrong with him? Don't pay any attention to him." Old Madam Qin glared at her son, her words both loving and forceful. "I just want you to be my goddaughter. What does it have to do with him? I don't need him to pay for it."

Mr. Qin also said, "You're divorced and raising the child alone, and your family can't be relied on. As for us, it's like an old person sending off a young one, the pain in our hearts is unbearable... Jia Mo is busy with work and doesn't have time to spend with us. If you could treat us like your daughter and bring Jun Jun back to visit often, that would be wonderful."

Since Mr. Qin had spoken, Lin Xiwei softened her heart again.

According to the old man, this was a two-way street for her and the two elders, and both sides gained a lot of emotional value.

Lin Xiwei looked at Qin Jiamo with a troubled expression.

Qin Jiamo's expression was cold and stern. "Do as you please. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Qin Jiamo greeted Junjun, patted the little guy's head, and strode away.

Junjun looked at the adults, and asked innocently, "What's Uncle angry about?"

Lin Xiwei looked at her son and gave a silent, bitter smile.

Even a three-year-old could tell he was angry, so it seems he really resents his own "greed".

Lin Xiwei pondered silently, deciding that once the divorce case was settled, she would try her best to distance herself from Qin Jiamo.

As for his suggestion to "have a child to save Junjun," it was probably just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

No man can accept having a child with a woman he doesn't respect.

Before Lin Xiwei could answer her son's question, Old Madam Qin smiled and coaxed, "Don't mind your uncle, that's just his temper."

Changing the subject, the old lady looked at Lin Xiwei and reaffirmed her decision: "Weiwei, it's settled then. From now on, stop calling us 'old lady' and just call us 'godmother' and 'godfather'."

"This..." Lin Xiwei smiled slightly, pursing her lips, unsure of what to do.

Does she really want to become the goddaughter of the Qin family elders?

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to call us?" the old lady asked, feigning anger.

"Of course not." Lin Xiwei quickly denied it, staring blankly at the two elders for a while before she finally composed herself, "Godmother, Godfather."

"Oh!" Old Madam Qin was overjoyed. "Good, that's wonderful. Then these are our greeting gifts, please accept them all."

Unable to refuse Lin Xiwei's earnest request, she had no choice but to agree.

However, she still returned the priceless family heirloom jade pendant to the two elders.

"When Junjun is a bit older, you can give him to Junjun directly," she said.

"Alright then," the old lady said, no longer insisting.

Back in her hospital room, Lin Xiwei looked at the table full of jewelry, accessories, and bags, still feeling that today had been too surreal.

First, he confronted Su Yunfan in court, won the case but caused Qin Jiamo to get injured.

Upon returning to the hospital, she learned that Junjun's true identity had been revealed.

Before she could figure out how to respond, the two elders forcibly delivered so many valuable gifts to her.

Her life, full of fantastical ups and downs, is something even TV dramas wouldn't dare to portray.

The WeChat notification brought Lin Xiwei back to her senses.

She picked up her phone.

It was sent by Chu Qing, asking about Qin Jiamo's injuries and how serious they were.

Around noon, Lin Xiwei received a call from Chu Qing as soon as she returned to the hospital. However, before the two could finish their conversation, Old Madam Qin arrived, and the call was abruptly ended.

Chu Qing still remembered their story.

Junjun was asleep next to her, so Lin Xiwei couldn't make a phone call. She could only reply by text, giving a general overview of Qin Jiamo's situation and mentioning that Junjun's background had been exposed.

When Chu Qing learned that the two elders insisted on taking Lin Xiwei as their goddaughter and had given her a lot of expensive gifts, she was shocked and rushed over to find out what was going on.

Pushing open the door, Chu Qing saw Junjun asleep and quietly entered the room.

Lin Xiwei tilted her chin slightly towards the sofa, and Chu Qing walked over, her eyes widening instantly.

"This is too outrageous! The Qin family truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier wealthy family; they are incredibly generous!" Chu Qing exclaimed in a low voice.

Lin Xiwei stood up, supporting her back, and sighed with a mixture of happiness and helplessness, "I can't believe it either, but it's true."

Chu Qing turned to look at her: "How's your back? If you can't, lie down."

"It's okay, I can walk slowly with the back brace on."

"Wow... this bag costs hundreds of thousands to buy, you have to buy other things with it! And this one, made of rare leather, there are probably no more than three in the whole of Jiangcheng. And this jewelry, I saw it in a fashion magazine, it's worth over a million!"

Chu Qing is a luxury goods enthusiast and knows these luxury items like the back of her hand.

Lin Xiwei was even more astonished after hearing this.

No wonder Qin Jiamo treated her that way; people must think she's too greedy. Not content with receiving so many expensive gifts, she also wants to be his "adopted sister."

Thinking about this, Lin Xiwei felt depressed again.

She really didn't want Qin Jiamo to misunderstand, but her godparents insisted on giving her the gift, and she couldn't refuse their kindness.

Seeing her staring blankly into space, Chu Qing turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong? Are you still dreaming?"

Lin Xiwei nodded: "I really feel like I'm dreaming."

"Haha, I wouldn't believe it either."

"Qingqing, tell me—don't I also owe a debt of gratitude to Su Yunfan? If I hadn't married him, if he hadn't been infertile, if he hadn't begged me to do IVF with donor sperm, I would never have had any connection with a wealthy and powerful family like the Qin family in my life."

Lin Xiwei increasingly believed in the saying that there is a divine will in the universe.

Chu Qing stroked her chin and nodded, saying, "What you say makes sense, but don't let it soften your heart. Su Yunfan is a complete bastard and a scumbag; he brought this upon himself."

Lin Xiwei sighed, "I didn't soften my heart. He's like a mad dog now. If it weren't for Attorney Qin protecting me today, I would have been bleeding from my head, and maybe even dead."

"It's good that you understand. Anyway, whether he's arrogant or regretful, just ignore him."

"Um."

After examining the expensive gifts, Chu Qing suddenly turned to Lin Xiwei, giving her a mischievous smile. "Attorney Qin really went to great lengths to save you. And you still say there's nothing between you two?"

Lin Xiwei smiled wryly, "It's nothing really. Today, it seemed that Old Madam Qin wanted to match me with him, but he interrupted her and didn't let her finish speaking. Later, Old Madam Qin wanted to take me as her goddaughter, but he objected."

Chu Qing frowned: "Like this? But he's unwilling, yet he's protecting you and helping you..."

There is indeed a contradiction.

Lin Xiwei couldn't understand it either.

Qin Jiamo did not appear again that afternoon or evening.

Lin Xiwei was worried about his injuries, but due to various concerns, she didn't know how to show her concern and ask about them.

Even as she lay in bed that night, she couldn't let go of the thought. After struggling and hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to send Qin Jiamo a WeChat message.

How's your injury? Does it still hurt?

I know you're busy with work, but please try to rest as much as possible; your health is the most important thing.

She sent two messages in one go, staring at the chat interface, counting down the time as she waited for a reply.

However, one minute, two minutes, five minutes passed, and there was no response.

Lin Xiwei began to regret sending the message; perhaps the other person simply didn't want to talk to her.

I waited anxiously for a while longer, a full ten minutes passed, but there was still no response.

Lin Xiwei looked at the message that had disappeared without a trace, and she no longer felt regret, but shame and frustration.

What will people think of her?

Do you feel that her concern is excessive? Do you think she has other intentions?

Are people secretly laughing at her, thinking she's "a toad trying to eat swan meat"?

Hey……

Lin Xiwei let out a silent wail, forced herself to put down her phone, and went to sleep!

In reality, Qin Jiamo did not intentionally ignore him.

He attended another court hearing in the afternoon, and his phone was on silent.

Because he insisted on working despite his injury, his body naturally couldn't take it anymore. After finishing his work and returning to the law firm, he fell asleep in the break room.

The phone was kept on silent.

When Han Rui noticed that he hadn't left the office by 9 p.m., she became worried and went upstairs to the lounge to call him.

Qin Jiamo then woke up.

He wanted to change out of his blood-stained shirt, but he dared not raise his arms too much, which restricted his movements.

Han Rui immediately stepped forward to help.

Seeing the large, shocking bruises on his boss's back, with the most severe areas turning purple and bleeding, Han Rui's heart clenched and he couldn't help but advise, "Boss, why don't we go to the hospital and stay there? This injury looks too frightening."

Qin Jiamo said calmly, "Hospitals aren't exactly pleasant places. Does everyone have to go and join in the fun?"

The mother is hospitalized, the son is hospitalized, and now even the son's mother is hospitalized.

Han Rui understood what he meant and decided not to try to persuade him further.

After Qin Jiamo changed into clean clothes, Han Rui helped him put the medical chest and abdominal brace back on.

Qin Jiamo's face was even more tense than usual because of the pain.

"How's it going at the hospital?"

Han Rui said, "I asked the bodyguards, and everything was fine this afternoon. The two elders are in a much better mood now that they know Junjun is their grandson."

That's not what Qin Jiamo wanted to hear.

He turned to his assistant. "Anything else?"
