Looking back now, many things seem to have been preordained.
Wang Yu gave a gentle smile; her hair had grown long enough to make her look like a tomboy.
"Chen Jiayi, thank you."
Thank you so much all these years.
Wang Yu's voice was choked with emotion and hoarse.
Hearing Wang Yu's hoarse voice, Wang Shulan's eyes welled up with tears again.
Everyone knows that Lin Yuyao has been arrested, finally ending her nightmare of so many years.
Chen Jiayi responded with a gentle smile.
"Wang Yu, you are the first mentor I encountered during my awakening."
The second is her father.
Chen Jiayi always remembers the change in her mindset at that time, which was because she met Wang Yu and her father.
Otherwise, Chen Jiayi wouldn't dare imagine that she would be selling vegetables at a street stall now.
.
After the court hearing, Ding Haowen asked to meet Chen Jiayi, and Chen Jiayi agreed.
Ding Haowen is no longer as handsome as he once was, and his talent has long been buried.
However, these were all choices made by Ding Haowen himself.
Ding Haowen, dressed in the uniform of the prison, stared blankly at Chen Jiayi in front of him.
The Chen Jiayi of this moment is completely opposite to the Chen Jiayi of his dreams.
Ding Haowen spoke in a deep voice, "I had a dream. In the dream, you were married to me for a lifetime and refused to get a divorce even in death."
"In my dream, I was not only husband and wife with you, but I also loved Li Yuzhu for a lifetime. She became the eldest daughter of the Chen family and married Shen Jialiang."
"It's just that her marriage was unhappy, so she chose to have an affair and be with me."
"After you found out, not only were you unwilling to divorce me, but you would also give me money sometimes when I asked you for it, and you were even willing to take care of my mother..."
Ding Haowen paused, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"You spent your whole life running a stall, but in the end you died a tragic death, and there was no one to even collect your body."
"But in reality, you are clearly the eldest daughter of the Chen family. It seems that things changed after I went to pick up Li Yuzhu that time."
"Chen Jiayi, have you been reborn?"
Upon hearing Ding Haowen's words, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but become wary.
She didn't want to be captured and used for research.
So Chen Jiayi sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"Ding Haowen, are you dreaming too much?"
Seeing Chen Jiayi's firm denial, Ding Haowen remained silent for a moment.
"Jiayi, I've already regretted it. It's just that you're too stubborn. As my wife, why do you, a woman, have to be so stubborn?"
Chen Jiayi sneered, "Idiot."
Ding Haowen was speechless after being scolded by Chen Jiayi.
He still clings to the past, believing that if Chen Jiayi hadn't been so temperamental and unwilling to yield and appease him, he wouldn't have actually divorced her.
Moreover, if Chen Jiayi hadn't made a big fuss about him back then, how could he have ended up with Li Yuzhu?
Chen Jiayi found it rather boring. "If you called me here just to say these things, then you might as well talk to the air yourself."
She got up to leave, but Ding Haowen immediately called her back.
"No, Chen Jiayi. I wanted to ask, how is Li Yan?"
Chen Jiayi found it somewhat amusing to hear that Ding Haowen actually remembered Li Yan.
"She got pregnant later, but you ran away. She had an abortion and now she's remarried to a divorced man."
"Second marriage?"
Ding Haowen was somewhat shocked, but Chen Jiayi did not explain to him.
She only came to see Ding Haowen now because she wanted to see the miserable state he was in before his death.
That's right, Ding Haowen was also sentenced to death.
Ding Haowen was found to have smuggled more than the amount stipulated by the state for which he could be sentenced to death, so he was sentenced to death.
As for his romantic entanglements with Li Yuzhu, Li Yan, or Lin Yuyao, Chen Jiayi was not interested.
Perhaps it was Chen Jiayi's cold attitude that made Ding Haowen's brain, which had been ravaged by drugs over the years, slow down his reactions.
However, he still realized Chen Jiayi's impatience.
He couldn't help but ask, "Chen Jiayi, I only found out later that Li Yuzhu's child wasn't my biological child. Do you know whose it is?"
Chen Jiayi didn't say anything, but Ding Haowen suddenly burst into laughter.
That smile was tinged with hatred and resentment.
"It belongs to Chen Jiahua, your godbrother!"
"Didn't you want to know what Chen Jiahua went through before he died? Didn't you want to know if he asked me for help when he died?"
“I’ll tell you what he went through. He was repeatedly whipped by Lin Yuyao, and then Chen Jiahua was splashed with chili water that was soaked in chili peppers… This was just the simplest punishment.”
"Chen Jiahua's eyes were gouged out, and his teeth were pulled out one by one..."
Ding Haowen proudly recounted these words, hoping to see Chen Jiayi's expression change drastically. However, Chen Jiayi maintained an indifferent expression throughout.
Ding Haowen suddenly felt bored and gave a bitter smile.
“After I found out that my child was Chen Jiahua’s, I was furious, so I sent Li Yuzhu to be a prostitute. She deserved it.”
He suddenly lowered his posture and spoke in an extremely humble manner.
"I only have one child left, Dingxiang. But I gave her away myself, and now I don't know where she is. Could you please help me find her and take care of Dingxiang for me?"
“I know I’ve wronged you and the child, but Dingxiang is still a child you raised for over a year. Even though you feel uncomfortable because she’s Li Yuzhu’s child, adult matters have nothing to do with the child…”
Chen Jiayi scoffed, "You really are shameless."
"Why do you think I would agree? You had that dream, didn't you also dream that I painstakingly raised Dingxiang my whole life, and how she answered me in the end?"
Ding Haowen's expression froze instantly. He wanted to say something more, but Chen Jiayi had already stood up impatiently, ready to leave.
Before leaving, she left behind a message.
"Actually, Dingxiang isn't your biological daughter either."
One sentence completely stunned Ding Haowen.
Upon hearing this, the policeman watching Ding Haowen from the side immediately revealed a strange look in his eyes.
Chen Jiayi was definitely not lying to Ding Haowen.
She wondered why Ding Haowen would treat Ding Xiang like this. Even if he disliked Ding Xiang or was angry with her, he wouldn't just abandon her like that.
They are related by blood, after all!
After listening to Dingxiang's explanation, Chen Jiayi couldn't help but think of a conclusion...
Perhaps Ding Xiang is not Ding Haowen's biological daughter.
So she immediately arranged for a paternity test to be done on Ding Haowen and Ding Xiang.
The results showed that the two people were indeed not related by blood.
Blood ties are a very mysterious thing.
It seems like no matter how angry you are with your child, there's still a blood relation, and you'll eventually soften your heart...
