Officer Zhao nodded. "That's right, you are still a legally married couple."

Chen Jiayi nodded. "I was just joking with my husband. Look at him... tsk tsk tsk, that's just how little men are. They always think of finding someone else to solve their problems."

Chen Jiayi's words seemed to be mocking Ding Haowen, and Ding Haowen's face darkened.

"How can you lump these together? This is domestic violence!"

Chen Jiayi chuckled, "Haven't you heard the saying 'a beating is a sign of affection' and 'scolding is a sign of love'?"

Chen Jiayi actually felt disgusted by this statement, but only by defining it as a family matter would the police not interfere.

Ding Haowen was unconvinced and wanted to say something more, but Officer Zhao waved his hand impatiently.

"This is your family matter. You should resolve it privately. Don't waste police resources by going to the police station."

Ding Haowen's expression changed, and he immediately questioned Officer Zhao with dissatisfaction.

"Is there something you're unhappy with about me? Why do you file a case when Chen Jiayi calls the police, but not when I do? Do you have some kind of problem with me?"

Faced with Ding Haowen's questioning, Officer Zhao was speechless. He thought Ding Haowen must have some mental issues.

I keep thinking about this and that, how did this kind of person even get into the research institute?

Officer Zhao couldn't help but be suspicious, but he still patiently explained to Ding Haowen.

“This is a family matter, what can we do? You can’t just run to the police and demand money from your mother after she slaps you, can you?”

Chen Jiayi burst out laughing when she heard this analogy.

Ding Haowen's face darkened. Seeing that the police wouldn't do anything, he could only speak to Chen Jiayi.

“Chen Jiayi, the police just said that we are still legally married. So you are still my wife. As my wife, it is only natural for you to take care of me and my mother, right? I see you've packed everything. Why don't you just take your things and come home with me?”

How come Chen Jiayi never noticed before that Ding Haowen was so shameless?

She laughed out loud, speechless, and raised her hand as if to slap Ding Haowen.

This time, Ding Haowen was well-prepared.

He took two steps back to avoid being slapped by Chen Jiayi.

Ding Haowen's eyes were wary. "Officer, look, she's trying to hit me right in front of you!"

Officer Zhao: "..."

Out of duty, Officer Zhao still offered Chen Jiayi a few words of advice.

Chen Jiayi nodded. "I understand."

She snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

Just as Chen Jiayi reached the entrance of the police station, several cars suddenly stopped in front of her.

Chen Jiayi was a little confused, and she was stunned when she saw the man getting out of the car.

"Mr. Chen? What brings you here?"

Chen Jiayi never expected Chen Qiming to appear here!

Chen Qiming smiled and said, "I came to pick you up. Your mother hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so it was just me who came."

Ding Haowen was surprised to see Chen Qiming here, especially since he was there to pick up Chen Jiayi.

His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mr. Chen, are the paternity test results out?"

Chen Qiming glanced at Ding Haowen, but had no recollection of him whatsoever.

"Who are you?"

Ding Haowen stood there awkwardly, frozen in place, not expecting that Chen Qiming didn't even remember who he was.

He introduced himself, and Chen Qiming gave a perfunctory "oh".

"It's you! What does this have to do with you? I've wanted to ask you this for a long time."

"Isn't Chen Jiayi your wife? Why do you always wish her well?"

Ding Haowen's mind went blank when faced with Chen Qiming's sharp gaze.

He quickly realized what was happening and forced a smile to explain.

"I don't……"

"Oh?" Chen Qiming stared coldly at Ding Haowen with an undeniable gaze.

He smiled at Chen Jiayi, his voice gentle: "Jiayi, tell me, did he bully you?"

Chen Jiayi was surprised that Chen Qiming would stand up for her, and her eyes reddened.

“Mr. Chen, I’ve been married to Ding Haowen for three years. I’ve taken care of his mother and earned money to support the Ding family; everyone in the neighborhood knows that. Yet he brought his child with his mistress back for me to raise—”

People around had already heard rumors that Ding Haowen was suspected of having an affair and had even brought his mistress's child back to be raised by his wife.

But since it was just hearsay and there was no actual evidence, everyone just treated it as a joke.

Hearing the person involved say it with their own ears, I was immediately shocked and excited to watch the drama unfold!

When Ding Haowen heard Chen Jiayi reveal the truth, his expression changed.

"Jiayi, where did you hear these rumors from?"

Seeing Ding Haowen's sad and upset expression, Chen Jiayi sneered.

"Ding Haowen, I know everything! Dingxiang is your child with Dr. Li Yuzhu from the pediatrics department of the People's Hospital! I have evidence!"

Chen Jiayi took the pile of evidence handed to her by Chen Qiming and threw it directly at Ding Haowen's face!

Ding Haowen picked up the documents in disbelief and found photos of when he had visited Beicheng...

He sensed something was wrong, and his face turned pale as he held the documents.

"When did you find out? And when did you start your investigation?"

Upon hearing Ding Haowen's words, the crowd erupted in uproar—

"I can't believe Ding Haowen really cheated on me! Oh my god! Does that mean he's admitting it?"

"Isn't this an admission of infidelity? I thought intellectuals like this wouldn't cheat on their partners, but I never expected... tsk tsk tsk."

"Haven't you heard? Every man thinks about cheating."

"That's not necessarily true. Look at the richest man and his wife, they've been married for so many years and they're still very much in love."

"My goodness, I never expected the richest man to appear in our town! Why is he here?"
