Ding Haowen immediately dared not move and remained standing in place.
Chen Jiayi sneered. Although her hands were in great pain, she felt extremely relieved!
She took two steps closer to Ding Haowen and slapped him hard across the face again!
"This slap is what you owe me! Three years, and you've given me three slaps in return. I'm the one who's at a disadvantage!"
Ding Haowen had never been hit before, but being slapped three times by Chen Jiayi in front of so many people caused him to feel a deep sense of humiliation.
He felt a buzzing in his ears and his face hurt as if it were splitting open.
After slapping Ding Haowen, Chen Jiayi turned around and walked to Chen Qiming's side.
She was already planning to leave! Why should she still have to carry on Ding Haowen and Li Yuzhu's scandalous affair?
Seeing Chen Jiayi's red eyes, Chen Qiming couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This child may seem gentle, but is actually strong-willed and stubborn.
She has to vent her anger herself today.
"Mr. Chen, thank you."
Chen Qiming smiled kindly, and looking at Chen Jiayi, he felt as if he were seeing Lan Meixuan in her younger days.
“You don’t need to thank me. My child was bullied, so it was only right that I stood up to protect her. I happen to be not far from you, and I drove over as soon as I received Ding Haowen’s call.”
Chen Jiayi was touched and didn't know what to say for a moment, standing there somewhat awkwardly.
Chen Qiming noticed that Chen Jiayi seemed a little uneasy, so he smiled and said, "Get in the car first! Where do you live? I'll give you a ride."
After Chen Jiayi got into the car, she gave her residential address, and Chen Qiming told the driver to drive there.
Chen Qiming glanced at Ding Haowen and immediately saw the hatred in Ding Haowen's eyes.
Chen Qiming thought for a moment, "Jiayi, although the paternity test results haven't come out yet, my wife and I both believe that you are our biological daughter."
After all, they really do look too alike!
Chen Jiayi nodded, knowing that Chen Qiming still had something to say.
“You hit Ding Haowen today, he must be holding a grudge. Why don’t you move to the city with me today?”
Chen Qiming was a little nervous; he had never been this nervous, not even when negotiating contracts worth millions.
Seeing how nervous Chen Qiming was, Chen Jiayi became less nervous.
She smiled gently and said, "I was just planning to go to the city tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come! Now I can move out a little earlier."
Chen Qiming was overjoyed when he saw that Chen Jiayi had agreed.
"What are you waiting for? Dad will help you move it!"
Chen Qiming naturally said the word "Dad," then realized something and gave an awkward smile.
Chen Jiayi pursed her lips, finding it somewhat amusing.
Upon arriving at the destination, Chen Jiayi originally planned to move everything herself.
Chen Qiming told her to sit in the car while he had his bodyguards and driver move the items.
Chen Jiayi had never spent time alone with Chen Qiming, and she felt somewhat awkward in front of this father figure.
Perhaps Chen Qiming noticed, because he offered to go down and help.
Chen Jiayi didn't have many belongings to begin with, and they were all gone in one trip by a few bodyguards.
Chen Qiming went up empty-handed and came down empty-handed; the driver got back to the car before Chen Qiming.
He looked at Chen Jiayi with a smile and said, "Miss, you don't know. After Mr. Chen received Ding Haowen's call, he felt something was wrong and insisted on driving over from dozens of kilometers away."
Chen Jiayi was stunned; she hadn't expected Chen Qiming to drive all the way from so far away.
She thought Chen Qiming was in a nearby village and had just come by.
After Chen Qiming got into the car, there was a look of heartache in his eyes for Chen Jiayi.
"The place you're staying is in terrible condition."
Chen Jiayi smiled and said, "I think it's alright. The price is reasonable and the environment of the house is also okay."
A hint of heartache flashed in Chen Qiming's eyes. He planned to buy a house for Chen Jiayi as soon as he got back!
Just as the car was about to start, a voice called out Chen Jiayi's name loudly.
Chen Jiayi knew who was calling her just by hearing the voice.
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Chen Qiming raised an eyebrow. "Who is that man?"
Chen Jiayi hesitated before speaking: "My adoptive father."
She thought Chen Xiaowei had already returned to the countryside, but she didn't expect him to still be in the town.
Chen Qiming frowned. "Are they good to you?"
Chen Jiayi shook her head, then nodded.
"I don't know if it's good or bad. If it's bad, at least they didn't starve me. If it's good, they just used me as a tool to make money."
Chen Qiming gave a gentle smile. "You stay in the car. Don't worry, Dad's here! I'll go down and see what he's up to."
Chen Jiayi was stunned.
No one ever told her, "You can rest assured, I'm here for you."
Chen Xiaowei had already bought a ticket to return to his hometown, but after hearing about what happened here, he immediately turned back and came looking for him.
Luckily, I made it in time!
Chen Xiaowei looked at the man in the Zhongshan suit and a greedy smile appeared on his face.
"Hello comrade, I am Chen Jiayi's father."
Chen Qiming did not extend his hand to shake hands in return. It was not that he looked down on farmers, but he saw a greedy desire in Chen Xiaowei's eyes, which made him uncomfortable.
He said calmly, "Hello, may I ask what you need?"
Chen Xiaowei grinned from ear to ear, "I heard you're Jiayi's biological father? Are you going to take her away now?"
Chen Qiming nodded, and Chen Xiaowei immediately continued.
“When I first found Jiayi, I thought someone would come looking for her after a few days. But it's been over ten years now. We originally planned to raise a child to support us in our old age, and you just took my daughter away like that. What am I supposed to do?”
Chen Qiming's smile didn't reach his eyes. "How about I give you a sum of money to support the child all these years?"
A glint of greed flashed in Chen Xiaowei's eyes, and he immediately agreed.
"Okay! One price, five thousand yuan!"
Chen Jiayi couldn't hold back any longer; she opened the car door and got out.
"Chen Xiaowei! You've been supporting me all these years, treating me like a slave! I haven't starved to death, but I was never full as a child. As soon as I turned 18, you were in a rush to marry me off for a dowry. Ask yourself honestly, have you spent this much money on me?"
Chen Qiming frowned in displeasure; he wanted to pay money to sever the relationship between Chen Xiaowei and Chen Jiayi.
But Chen Xiaowei's exorbitant demands were not something he could be easily taken advantage of!
Chen Xiaowei chuckled, "Jiayi, it didn't cost me this much money to raise you, but if it weren't for me, who knows if you'd still be alive today?"
Chen Jiayi's face turned red with anger; what Chen Xiaowei said was indeed reasonable.
She looked at Chen Qiming, hoping he wouldn't give it to her.
Chen Qiming said in a deep voice, "How about this, I'll give you three thousand yuan!"
Chen Xiaowei was displeased and snorted coldly with his arms crossed.
"Five thousand yuan, not a penny less!"
The bodyguards immediately got out of the car and surrounded Chen Xiaowei.
Chen Qiming smiled politely, "Mr. Chen, I'm in a good mood right now, and I can talk to you calmly. But if I'm in a bad mood..."
Chen Xiaowei's legs trembled with fright, and he quickly agreed.
"Three thousand it is! I want cash!"
Chen Qiming nodded and turned to look at the young man beside him.
"Wenbo, write a letter severing all ties."
