“Aunt Wang, I witnessed my ex-husband cheating on me when I was selling vegetables at that stall.”
Wang Shuting walked over in surprise. They had only brought a bed sheet with them when they came out, because they were worried that the places they stayed outside might not be clean.
Wang Shuting had just put a sheet from home over the hotel blanket when she heard Chen Jiayi's words, and she quickly came over.
Looking at the spot where she used to set up her stall, Chen Jiayi felt as if she were seeing herself back then.
She scoffed, "I always thought it was a hot day, but now I realize I was just angry."
At the time, Chen Jiayi was selling vegetables at her stall. She had just finished calculating the cost for a customer when she looked up and saw her husband carefully embracing a woman.
She couldn't help but call out to her husband in a sharp voice, "Ding Haowen!"
Ding Haowen frowned when he saw himself.
He patted the woman's arm, gesturing for her to go inside first.
Back then, I stormed up to Ding Haowen and demanded in a harsh tone, "Ding Haowen, who is she?"
All I remember is Ding Haowen's brow furrowed into a deep frown, explaining in a very impatient tone.
“That’s my cousin. Her husband died and she just returned to Haicheng alone. I’m helping her make some arrangements.”
After hearing this, Aunt Wang angrily cursed, "Pah! Cousin? My cousin rolled into bed?"
Chen Jiayi sighed, "At that time, Ding Haowen was probably already impatient. He was probably thinking that he should not have walked this street. He did not expect that I would set up a stall here."
Her tone carried a hint of self-mockery, as if she were laughing at how foolish she had been back then.
Ding Haowen looked disgusted; she couldn't even tell herself. She was simply furious that Ding Haowen was with another woman!
At that time, Ding Haowen, looking at himself covered in sweat, must have already compared himself to Li Yuzhu, right?
Li Yuzhu smelled wonderful, unlike her who always smelled of sweat!
Chen Jiayi's gaze was unfocused as she recalled what had happened before her rebirth.
Ding Haowen tried to leave after giving a brief explanation, but she grabbed his arm, feeling uncomfortable.
He hated being in contact with himself and subconsciously shook himself off.
Unexpectedly, Ding Haowen suddenly acted this way. She was pulled down by the sudden force and fell, hitting her forehead on a stone, and fainted.
Ding Haowen was startled and quickly checked on Chen Jiayi's condition.
He frowned, wondering whether he should take her to the hospital, when he heard Yuzhu's gentle voice calling his name.
Ding Haowen hesitated for a few seconds, then turned around and went upstairs.
Chen Jiayi was in a daze when she saw all this; in fact, she was already dead at that time! When she regained consciousness, she was reborn, wasn't she?
Aunt Wang spat, "They won't have a good ending! Ding Haowen will get to know other people the same way he got to know you! Miss, just you wait and see, they won't have a good ending."
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "Looking back now, I think it was good that I knew I had heatstroke, but I just thought I was strong and healthy and would be fine in a while. So he didn't care about me. I should thank him for not caring about me so that I could wake up."
Aunt Wang reached out and hugged Chen Jiayi with great tenderness.
"Miss, there's something I've been meaning to tell you!"
“Back then, your shameless ex-husband and his mistress came to the Chen family to acknowledge their relationship. You and your wife went out, and your husband handled the matter.”
Chen Jiayi looked at Aunt Wang in surprise, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"It was about two days after you were brought back to the Chen family that your wife took you out shopping."
Chen Jiayi had some recollection of that day; it was the first time she had dressed up and been taken shopping by her mother.
Wang Shuting said, "At that time, Ding Haowen said something like, 'Mr. Chen, I just can't stand people cheating and swindling!' Shen Jialiang happened to come to visit at that moment. I clearly remember Professor Shen's clear and pleasant male voice sounding behind Ding Haowen, and he casually said 'Oh!'"
"Oh my god! I was so smitten with him back then... my heart was fluttering!"
Upon hearing that Shen Jialiang had also appeared, Chen Jiayi exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Shuting continued to recall the scene at that time.
Inside the Chen family villa, Chen Qiming sat solemnly on the sofa, looking calmly at Li Yuzhu and Ding Haowen in front of him.
Mr. Chen glanced at Ding Haowen, his smile turning colder.
Ding Haowen, being thin-skinned, blushed deeply.
Shen Jialiang glanced at Ding Haowen's expression and knew what he was thinking.
His expression was indifferent, and his tone was distant.
"You say you can't stand seeing your uncle being cheated and swindled, by what right do you say that?"
Ding Haowen was a beat slow to realize that he had said the wrong thing.
His face was pale, and he stammered for a long time.
Chen Qiming and Shen Jialiang were both highly educated intellectuals, and they disliked the act of tattling on others.
I just had to break a taboo...
"You say you have evidence to prove that Chen Jiayi is not my biological daughter, what evidence do you have?"
Chen Qiming scrutinized Li Yuzhu, whose face was pale and who could not speak.
Ding Haowen took out the evidence and pointed to the jade bracelet, saying that the jade bracelet with engravings on it was the real token.
A cold glint flashed in Chen Qiming's eyes.
"Indeed, the real tokens have inscriptions, but is the name engraved on them Li Yuzhu or Chen Jiayi?"
Seeing this, Ding Haowen quickly explained, "Back then, she was just a baby. So what if there were words engraved on the jade bracelet? After Yuzhu was picked up by her adoptive father, her family just randomly gave her a name."
Li Yuzhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if she had grasped the key to her future.
“Mr. Chen, a name is something that parents give you... If my biological parents named me Jiayi, and I was then given a different name and raised by my adoptive parents, then that would naturally be an unavoidable factor.”
Chen Qiming calmly hummed in agreement, nodding as if in consent.
Wang Shuting couldn't help but speak up, "Your explanation is too outrageous! If her adoptive parents found the jade bracelet and knew the inscription on it, why didn't they name her according to the homonym of the inscription?"
Ding Haowen's expression remained calm, but his heart was pounding.
I never expected Shen Jialiang to appear here.
He forced a smile, "Yuzhu's adoptive parents are illiterate."
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Shen Jialiang glanced at Ding Haowen with a half-smile, then spoke softly.
"Now that we've done the DNA report, let's wait for the results."
Believe in technology!
Shen Jialiang said calmly, "Although the DNA report may take three months to come out."
It could take three months if things go smoothly, or six months if things go slowly.
He has to do it himself to get the report results faster.
Chen Qiming nodded, as if he understood.
"Thank you, then let's wait for the DNA report!"
As for the token, Chen Qiming didn't care.
Ding Haowen's face paled for a moment, and he silently nudged Li Yuzhu with his arm, signaling her to speak.
Li Yuzhu quickly flashed a sweet smile, "Mr. Chen, DNA testing is certainly the best option. But with the added element of a kinship token, it will be even more accurate, don't you think?"
