Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

"Perhaps, Xixi is a bargaining chip."

"Chips?"

"Don't forget, your surname is Li," Jiang Tong reminded her.

Li Qinghe was stunned again. No way...

Jiang Tong sighed, "Do you know why I divorced your older brother?"

Li Qinghe shook her head; she couldn't come up with a reason even if she were beaten to death.

"Because of his sister."

"What?! My older brother cheated on me?!"

How can it be……

These days, even if Li Dongzan cheats on his wife, Li Qinghe doesn't believe that Li Jingchen could cheat on his wife.

Jiang Tong said, "No, it's just that there are some irreconcilable differences between your older brother and me. Don't tell Grandpa and the others about this yet; we'll handle it ourselves."

"This Ye Jun is Ye Hong's older brother, and now he's Xixi's father,"

"Even if it's just a coincidence, even if he really is Xixi's father, do you think he truly loves Xixi, or that he had a child with a woman he barely knows?"

Li Qinghe thought for a moment, then pursed her lips.

"Sister-in-law, do you mean that Ye Jun has ulterior motives towards me and Xixi?"

"Definitely. You still need to be careful and not sell your child because of someone else's words."

Li Qinghe nodded. "Don't worry, she won't."

Jiang Tong left in the afternoon. Although Li Qinghe said she would be careful, Jiang Tong was still worried.

Ye Jun left today; I don't know if he'll come back tomorrow.

She asked Li Qinghe to give the paternity test results to an acquaintance she knew.

She couldn't stay with Li Qinghe forever; after all, Li Qinghe was Xixi's biological mother.

Poor little Xixi. On the way back to Beijing, Jiang Tong called Tao Guanglei and told him about Li Xixi, hoping he would tell his older brother so that his brother would know what was going on, since Xixi would eventually be surnamed Li.

"How is your older brother's leg now?"

“He still can’t stand up. My older brother has been very irritable these past two days and doesn’t want to see anyone. I won’t see him either. That Ye Hong said she’s been looking for doctors and medicine for him.”

Jiang Tong was somewhat dazed.

If Tao Guanglei hadn't mentioned that name, which dampened her spirits, she feared she might have lost control and gone back.

Yes, they're already getting a divorce. If she goes back now, she'll probably only earn his disgust.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to divorce my brother?"

"Yes."

They want a divorce.

Tao Guanglei sighed.

"I don't know what's going on between my older brother and Ye Hong. All I know is that she's Gu Heng's sister, and my older brother is very cold towards her. I had no idea..."

"You don't need to say anything more." Jiang Tong didn't want to talk about these things anymore. She was going back to Beijing now. He would send her the divorce agreement, and she would sign it.

She has arrived at the airport.

……

Li Qinghe has already taken Li Xixi to find Ye Jun.

The address was sent to Li Qinghe. Ye Jun was staying in the presidential suite of the Longcheng Hotel, which was the first time Li Qinghe had ever been to such a high-class room.

Ye Jun took out a property certificate and said, "If you want, I'll transfer the ownership of my villa in Shenzhen to Xixi."

“I can give Xixi so much more. You should understand that having an excellent father can provide her with a lot of opportunities for her to go to school, receive education, and see the world. It can help her avoid many detours.”

Li Qinghe certainly understood...

Ye Jun glanced at his watch. "I'll take Xixi to a party later."

"A party?"

"Yes, they are all from merchant families. It's good for a child to be exposed to people from high society from a young age."

He made a phone call, and soon the room manager came in pushing several formal dresses.

Li Qinghe's eyes widened. What a beautiful dress! The style was gorgeous, and the neckline was adorned with jewels...

"Xixi, which one do you like?"

Li Xixi was still a little girl, and her eyes were drawn to a pink dress.

"Then let's take the pink one and have the kids try it on."

"Yes, Mr. Ye."

Li Qinghe licked her lips. "Let's forget it. Xixi has never participated in this kind of occasion before. I'm afraid she'll embarrass you."

With just one sentence, Ye Jun grasped her psychology.

“How can it be shameful for a child to be dressed up so nicely? So many people fawn over me, and they will fawn over Xixi too.”

Upon hearing this, Li Qinghe felt even more inferior. No one had ever flattered her before. She used to be arrogant and domineering, but many people bullied and treated her harshly because they saw that she was raising her child alone.

At first, Li Qinghe was unconvinced, but gradually she felt wronged and slowly learned to be patient.

Ye Jun adjusted his cufflinks, adopting an arrogant attitude, and pushed the property contract towards her.

"I don't want to waste time with nonsense. Just sign in the bottom right corner, and this villa will belong to Xixi."

Li Qinghe couldn't wait to sign the document.

Is it really that good?

At that moment, Jiang Tong's reminder echoed in her ears.

"What's wrong? Once you sign, you can go back. You can leave Xixi with me."

Li Qinghe hesitated, then looked up and said, "Never mind, the neighborhood where Xixi and I live now is just fine."

A hint of impatience and disdain flashed in Ye Jun's eyes. He pointed to the glass window, gesturing for Li Qinghe to look in Li Xixi's direction.

Do you know how much a dress like this costs?

Li Qinghe didn't know.

Ye Jun held up two fingers.

Li Qinghe said, "Twenty thousand?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Is it really that expensive?" Li Qinghe watched Li Xixi change clothes, wearing a dazzling crown and dressed like a little princess in a gorgeous princess dress...

"If you can't give your child what they want, you have to learn to let go. And these are some other things as well."

Ye Jun opened a box on the table, and Li Qinghe exclaimed in surprise.

Gems, necklaces...

"If you know what's good for you, I can give you all these things; they're nothing to me."

"No, no, I can't take these!"

Li Qinghe forced herself to calm down, "I know you're a big shot and I'm just a nobody. I don't ask for anything else, as long as you treat Xixi well, that's enough!"

"I'll give the child a villa, isn't that good enough? Sign it." Ye Jun had lost his patience.

Li Qinghe, stop thinking about it and sign the property transfer form in the lower right corner.

Ye Jun smiled and said, "You can leave now. I'll take Xixi back tomorrow."

"Will it really be sent back?"

Ye Jun's eyes turned icy cold, and he remained silent.

Li Qinghe choked. This was the child's biological father. What was she worried about?

She got up.

"Well... tell Xixi I'm leaving and I'll pick her up tomorrow."

As soon as Li Xixi came out after changing her clothes, she saw Li Qinghe's back as she turned and left.

She took off running, calling out, "Mommy—Mommy—"

The two bodyguards held the child's hands tightly.

"Mommy, where are you going—" The child's heart-wrenching cries tugged at Li Qinghe's heartstrings.

As she stepped out of the hotel room, Li Qinghe suddenly turned around.

The door behind me had already slowly closed...
