Chen Jiayi then noticed a young man in a black Zhongshan suit sitting in the car behind her.

Jiang Wenbo smiled and nodded, then took out a piece of paper and wrote something by hand.

In no time, Jiang Wenbo finished writing.

He handed it to Chen Qiming, who glanced at it and, finding nothing wrong, nodded.

Jiang Wenbo opened a combination lock box, inside which was a pile of cash.

A hint of envy flashed in Chen Xiaowei's eyes, followed by hatred.

Chen Qiming is so rich, what's wrong with giving him five thousand yuan?

Jiang Wenbo handed the money to Chen Xiaowei, who licked his fingers and began counting the money.

He counted three times to make sure the number was correct before he finally smiled.

Although Chen Jiayi was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Xiaowei's snobbishness.

She lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Chen Xiaowei.

Chen Qiming handed the letter severing ties to Chen Xiaowei.

"Sign it."

Chen Xiaowei casually said, "I can't write."

Chen Qiming's eyes turned cold: "Is that so?"

Chen Xiaowei shrank back in fear. "I really can't write! You can ask Jiayi if you don't believe me."

Chen Qiming looked at Chen Jiayi, his eyes questioning.

A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Jiayi's eyes.

In her past life, she always thought Chen Xiaowei was illiterate, but in the end, it was he who signed the agreement to give up treatment!

Her voice was calm. "You can write your own name, right? If you can't, don't worry, we have plenty of time to teach you how."

Chen Xiaowei gave an awkward smile.

He originally intended to refuse to sign after getting the money, but when Chen Jiayi exposed his lie, Chen Xiaowei reluctantly signed his name.

It's just a matter of signing a name. He's supported Chen Jiayi for so many years, he can't just sever ties with a written agreement, can he?

After Chen Xiaowei signed his name, Jiang Wenbo took the letter of severance of relations and walked up to Chen Jiayi.

Chen Jiayi signed her name neatly and decisively, and felt a sense of relief the moment she put her name down.

Chen Qiming got into the car, ready to leave.

Chen Xiaowei left with three thousand yuan, feeling quite pleased with himself.

He didn't care at all whether Chen Jiayi had really found her biological parents.

Chen Jiayi couldn't help but look back at Lotus Town, her expression dazed.

Chen Qiming thought Chen Jiayi was sad because of Chen Xiaowei, so he remained silent for a while before slowly speaking.

"My child, let me tell you! Raising children is not a favor, giving birth is not a favor, but supporting them is a favor!"

"Humans want to have children just like animals do, to reproduce and not to have children just to support themselves in old age."

"Relationships between people are only temporary, and even your future partner may not be able to stay with you forever."

Chen Jiayi chuckled, realizing that the other party had misunderstood.

She was a little embarrassed to make a request.

"Mr. Chen, could you do me another favor?"

Chen Qiming's eyes flickered. "Of course, but there's one condition."

Chen Jiayi immediately accepted; she would only feel embarrassed if the other party helped her unconditionally.

Chen Qiming smiled and asked, "Can you call me Dad?"

Although Chen Qiming knew that the DNA test results were not yet available, he had already decided in his heart that Chen Jiayi was his biological daughter!

The probability of two strangers in the world looking exactly alike is 0.01%.

Therefore, they have always believed that Chen Jiayi is their biological daughter.

Chen Jiayi was taken aback, not expecting the other party to ask such a simple question.

She called out softly, embarrassed, "Dad."

Chen Qiming couldn't help but tear up.

For so many years, they have been searching for their biological daughter.

Now that they've finally found someone very similar, even if there's only a 50% chance, they still want to treat their daughter well in advance.

Chen Jiayi didn't know how to comfort her and seemed a little awkward.

She said softly, "Dad, my divorce application with Ding Haowen has been filed for over a week. I heard that divorce applications take 3 to 6 months to be processed. I want to divorce Ding Haowen as soon as possible. I wonder if it's possible to get the divorce certificate earlier?"

Chen Qiming nodded without hesitation, "Leave this to me. What are your plans for the future?"

Chen Jiayi thought for a moment, "I want to study."

Chen Qiming nodded. "Studying is good! If you master math, physics, and chemistry, you can go anywhere in the world without fear! And what comes after studying?"

Chen Jiayi smiled, revealing a bright smile.

"The country is developing heavy industry now, but in the future the country will focus on the development of railways, agriculture and commerce. I want to seize the business opportunity and do something that benefits the people and myself."

In her previous life, she died at the age of 28 in 1981. At that time, rural reforms had been implemented and the household responsibility system had been promoted, creating unprecedented business opportunities in many industries.

If she seizes the opportunity, she could very well become one of the first "ten-thousand-yuan households" or even "millionaires".

Chen Jiayi had no intention of relying on the Chen family; she believed that making money was the most important thing for her.

Firstly, she was worried that she wasn't actually the Chen family's daughter, and secondly, she felt more accomplished making money herself.

A look of relief flashed in Chen Qiming's eyes, while Jiang Wenbo, who was sitting on the side and had no presence, looked at Chen Jiayi with a hint of surprise.

She was just an ordinary rural woman, yet she radiated an extraordinary glow of confidence.

…

Chen Xiaowei missed his bus home and couldn't bear to stay in a hotel in town.

He deposited the money in the bank and planned to stay at the Ding family's house for the night with the passbook in hand.

As soon as I arrived at the Ding family's door, I heard Li Shufang cursing Ding Haowen.

"I never agreed to you marrying Chen Jiayi! Now look what's happened, you've lost both your money and your wife! What kind of situation is this?"

Ding Haowen's face was red and swollen, and he pursed his lips.

"Mom, stop talking."

His face was cold, and his voice was sharp.

"My divorce certificate with Chen Jiayi hasn't been issued yet. As long as the divorce certificate hasn't been issued, she is still my wife!"

Li Shufang was furious. "So what if she's your wife? She's run away! Who's going to give us all that money every month? I don't care, go find Chen Jiayi's father and get my dowry back!"

When Chen Jiayi was alive, she took care of her every day. Now that Chen Jiayi is gone, no one takes care of her. Shouldn't she ask for the bride price back?

Ding Haowen was also seething with anger. He felt ashamed for being beaten on the street, and his mother kept nagging him after he got home.

He said impatiently, "Alright! All you ever talk about is money. If you want money, go ask for it yourself! I'm not going!"

After saying that, Ding Haowen turned and went into the room. Looking at the pile of dirty clothes in the room, he was furious.

Li Shufang angrily retorted, "Fine, I'll go!"

Upon hearing the sound of Li Shufang walking with her cane, Chen Xiaowei immediately took off running.

When Li Shufang came out, she saw a figure running away at high speed.

She muttered irritably, "Running so fast, are you in such a hurry to die?"

Chen Xiaowei reluctantly opened a hotel.

He was about to go to sleep when he returned home early the next morning and noticed a small card slipped under the door.

Chen Xiaowei picked it up and saw that it was printed with a beautiful woman's alluring figure and an address.

His eyes flickered, and he put the small card into his bag.
