Su Meifen shook her head and said, "That's a high-end bar! Who knows who the actual owner of this watch is? What if it was found or stolen?"

Su Chenxi hurriedly asked, "Mom, did Dad say anything when he handed this watch to you?"

Su Meifen sighed, "He said he would take responsibility for me, ha! Who would believe a man who frequents those kinds of places?"

Su Chenxi held the hand tightly, her eyes shining with determination. This was very likely the only clue she had to find her father, and she had to keep it safe.

Su Chenxi sat with her mother in the living room for a while, and transferred 100,000 yuan to her mother's account before leaving.

As for Shen Liguo's infidelity, she decided not to mention it for the time being. She wanted to see how Jiang Yao viewed the matter first.

At the Jiang Group, Jiang Yao stormed into the conference room, startling everyone inside. Jiang Liguo, looking at his daughter who didn't know any manners, frowned and said, "Yao Yao, can't you see I'm in a meeting?"

Jiang Yao gritted her teeth and said, "Dad, don't start the meeting yet, I have something to ask you."

Jiang Liguo frowned and said, "Whatever it is, we can talk about it in the office later." After saying that, he glared at Jiang Yao sternly and said, "Get out."

Jiang Yao waited in the office, suppressing her grievances. At this moment, she truly felt insecure about her position in her father's heart.

Her pride was shattered, her status as the sole heir of the Jiang family was stripped away, and her value to her father vanished. She was now just a daughter, a tool that could be used by her father for marriage alliances at any time.

A moment later, Jiang Liguo pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at his daughter on the sofa, he asked first, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yao took out six photos she had just printed out from her bag and threw them on the table. "Do you want to explain this?"

Jiang Liguo's expression changed. He immediately stepped forward to examine the six photos, looking at his daughter nervously, "Yaoyao, did you send someone to follow me?"

"I didn't take this picture secretly. Su Chenxi took it and sent it to me. How could you keep a lover and have an illegitimate child behind my mother's back?" Jiang Yao asked angrily.

"Shut up. Xiao Feng and Xiao De are my sons, not illegitimate children." Jiang Liguo's face hardened. "They are also your brothers."

"Then what about me! What am I! Didn't you always say that I'm your only child?" Jiang Yao's eyes reddened with grievance.

Jiang Liguo quickly sat down next to her and comforted her, "Yaoyao, having a younger brother is not a bad thing for you. They will be your support in the future. Don't worry, Dad is not biased. You will not lose a penny of the property that is due to you."

"What about Mom? What's going to happen to her? She's completely kept in the dark." Jiang Yao's anger subsided considerably.

Jiang Liguo snorted, "I will confront her about this. I have supported her and her daughter for more than 20 years, she dares not say anything."

Jiang Yao took her father's arm and said, "Dad, you can't just abandon me."

"If I divorce your mother, who will you live with?" Jiang Liguo asked her, looking down at her.

Jiang Yao replied almost without hesitation, "Of course I'll follow you, Dad!"

Jiang Liguo understands his daughter quite well; she can have a better future if she stays with him. As for Su Meifen, a housewife, she will have a hard time supporting herself in the future.

"Dad will definitely not treat you badly."

"Dad, if you divorce Mom, how will the family property be divided?" Jiang Yao asked anxiously.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Liguo's eyes. "I've already raised a daughter for her. Does she still want to get any property from me? I'll only allow her to take the clothes and jewelry she's worn over the years. She can forget about anything else."

Jiang Yao immediately thought, if her parents really were to divorce, her mother would definitely share the Jiang family's assets with Su Chenxi, wouldn't that mean Su Chenxi would also benefit from it?

"Dad, I agree with what you're doing. Who is this auntie?" Jiang Yao immediately wanted to know her father's mistress!

“Just call her Aunt Shan. She used to be my secretary, but after she came to me, she focused on raising your two younger brothers. Don’t worry, she will treat you very well,” Jiang Liguo comforted his daughter.

"Can I have dinner with her tonight?" Jiang Yao asked.

"Of course, let's have a family get-together tonight." Jiang Liguo chuckled, but then his eyes darkened with anger. That brat Su Chenxi dared to investigate him; she was incredibly audacious. Luckily, his daughter was easy to appease.

He will remember this.

Su Chenxi drove home and opened the door to find the television on, a football channel, with Shen Yanchuan lounging on her sofa, watching TV.

When Su Chenxi saw him, she quickly sat down next to him and said, "Help me watch something."

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes curiously, "What is it?"

Su Chenxi took the watch out of her bag and handed it to him. "Can you tell the value of this watch?"

Shen Yanchuan took the watch, his eyes lighting up. "A Jaeger-LeCoultre model, an ultra-thin tourbillon minute repeater watch, a limited edition from back then, only eighteen were made worldwide, priced at around ten million."

Su Chenxi's beautiful eyes widened. "How much?"

"Around ten million is just my guess. In reality, this watch should be worth more than that now. After all, it's a limited edition from over twenty years ago, and it's a watch that collectors all want." Shen Yanchuan admired the watch, his eyes revealing a desire to collect it.

"Whose is it? Are you selling it? I'll take it." Shen Yanchuan held the watch with obvious affection, clearly a watch enthusiast as well.

Su Chenxi couldn't help but ask, "With so many counterfeit watches on the market, are you sure this one is real?"

Shen Yanchuan continued to admire it, then nodded and confirmed, "This is indeed the genuine product, your friend's?"

“No…” Su Chenxi shook her head, reached out and took the watch, carefully wiping the dial. “This is my biological father’s.”

Shen Yanchuan's pupils contracted. "Your dad's?"

Su Chenxi nodded. "My mom gave it to me. She said my dad gave it to her that night, and my mom has treasured it ever since. Now, she's giving it to me as a keepsake."

Shen Yanchuan reached out and ruffled her hair. "It seems your father was quite powerful back then. This is something that ordinary families can't afford."

“My mom means that my dad might have stolen it back then, or someone gave it to him, or he might have found it…” Su Chenxi sighed. Her mother’s implication was very clear. She believed that her mother was very likely the Cowherd from back then, so this watch definitely wasn’t his.

“The owner will definitely be looking for such a valuable watch. You can give it to me, and I'll help you find out who the real owner is,” Shen Yanchuan said.

Su Chenxi's eyes lit up. Maybe they could really find out her father's identity? What if there was hope?

Su Chenxi reached out and handed the watch to him. "Okay, I'll give it to you then. Please check it for me."

Shen Yanchuan took the watch. "Don't worry, your father is my father-in-law, and I also hope to find him."
