After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Ten minutes seemed to freeze, Secretary Zhou, Zhou Dan and Xu Cheng sat nervously in the office, staring at the landline on the table. If this news was false, it would involve the reputation of a provincial governor, so an in-depth investigation would be necessary.

If true, is there a hidden feud between the wealthy families behind this? Although they are public officials at the moment, they can't help but be curious about such gossip. After all, government officials are also human beings, who can resist the temptation of gossip?

In the provincial government compound, Secretary Chen gently knocked on the door of Li Hongxing's office.

"Come in." Li Hongxing's low voice came from the office.

Secretary Chen pushed the door open and Li Hongxing looked up from the documents and asked, "Chen Nian, what's the matter?"

Secretary Chen said softly, "Governor, the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Xi City, Zhou Huaye, just called. They are investigating a case involving Jiawei, and they want to confirm whether she is your niece. How should I reply to Secretary Zhou?"

Li Hongxing took off his glasses, rubbed his brows, and asked, "Did they say Jiawei was involved in any case?"

Secretary Chen said, "Disciplinary inspection cases are all required to remain confidential. Since it involves you, I did not ask in detail."

Li Hongxing listened to Secretary Chen's words and nodded, "You are right," and then after thinking for a moment, he said, "Chen Nian, tell Zhou Huaye the truth about Jiawei. I know Jiawei. She is honest and a contract worker at the Finance Bureau. The nature of her job will not allow her to cross the legal red line."

"Okay, I'll call him back right away." Secretary Chen replied.

"Well, let's go."

Secretary Chen returned to his office, picked up the phone and called Zhou Huaye back. The phone rang once and was picked up.

"Secretary Chen." Zhou Huaye's voice came.

"Secretary Zhou, regarding Li Jiawei's identity, she is indeed the biological daughter of Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu." Secretary Chen informed directly.

"Okay, Secretary Chen, I understand."

After Zhou Huaye hung up the phone, he turned to Zhou Dan and Xu Cheng and said, "What Li Jiawei said is true."

Xu Cheng looked at the transcript in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Were all her luxury goods and savings bought for her by Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu?"

Zhou Dan analyzed, "Given the financial resources of Li Ronghua and his wife, it is entirely possible that the luxury goods and sudden increase in savings that Li Jiawei has recently acquired were given to her by her biological parents out of a compensatory mentality."

Zhou Huaye nodded in agreement. "Then find out which account the money was transferred from. If it is proven that Li Jiawei is indeed not a problem, arrange for her to leave as soon as possible."

Zhou Dan and Xu Cheng stood up and responded in unison, "Yes, Secretary, we will go and verify it now."

After coming out of the bank, Zhou Dan carefully checked the bank transfer records in his hand. Those who transferred money to Li Jiawei's account were all members of the Li family. Among them, Li Ronghua and his wife made the most transfers, followed by Zhang Qiushuang, Li Xuanbao and Li Yan. Even their provincial governor Li Hongxing transferred 100,000 yuan.

As Xu Cheng opened the car door, he sighed, "You said that Li Ronghua and his wife and Li Jiawei's adoptive parents are obviously not on the same level, so how could they have taken the wrong child?"

Zhou Dan asked doubtfully, "Is there some conspiracy? Is it a deliberate mistake?"

Xu Cheng smiled and shook his head. "You've read too many novels, right? Conspiracy? Considering the family backgrounds of the two families, I guess it can only be said to be a coincidence."

Zhou Dan sighed and said jokingly, "Why didn't I encounter such a good thing? I woke up and found out that my parents were the richest people and I was the daughter of the richest person. If that were the case, why would I go to work? It would be so comfortable to be a salted fish at home every day."

Xu Cheng looked at Zhou Dan slumped in the chair, smiled and shook his head, "Dreams come faster. But think about it, Li Jiawei is also quite pitiful. Thirty-three years have passed. Even if she is recognized now, she still has to endure the same punishment and suffering. Her life situation is completely different from Li Xuanbao's."

Zhou Dan put the bank transfer record into the file bag and said self-deprecatingly, "We should not feel sorry for Li Jiawei. At least her future life of luxury is beyond our imagination. We should have more pity on ourselves. We work so hard for a month, and when we see the salary of 5,800, we want to cry."

Cheng Ping looked at Zhou Dan who was indignant about her salary and joked, "I want to cry more! You are lucky because your family is in this city and you don't have to rent a house. What about me? I spend one-third of my salary on rent every month."

Cheng Ping and Zhou Dan were lamenting the difficulties faced by migrant workers, while Li Jiawei was sitting restlessly in the inquiry room. Time seemed to have stopped. The two disciplinary inspection comrades had been gone for almost two hours, so why had no one come in yet?

Li Jiawei was in an interrogation room surrounded by four walls, isolated from the outside world. She could not see any light or shadow, nor could she feel the passage of time. She could only hear her own heartbeat, and anxiety and uneasiness surged like a tide. In order to relieve this emotion, she kept picking at her fingers until her two thumbs were bleeding.

Just when Li Jiawei was about to collapse, the door of the inquiry room opened. She turned around and saw Zhou Dan standing outside the door in a formal suit, walking towards her with a smile on her face. "Li Jiawei, thank you for your cooperation, you can leave now."

"Can I leave now?" Li Jiawei asked in disbelief.

"Yes, you can go." Zhou Dan answered affirmatively.

This sentence was like a reassurance, and the fear and anxiety in Li Jiawei's heart instantly dissipated. She quickly stood up and nodded to Zhou Dan to express her gratitude. "Thank you, I'm sorry to bother you."

Zhou Dan quickly turned aside and said with a smile, "No need to bother. This is our job. We don't deserve your thanks. We also have to thank you for cooperating with our work. I'll take you out."

Li Jiawei followed Zhou Dan out of the Discipline Inspection Commission's floor, and the two took the elevator downstairs. Zhou Dan accompanied Li Jiawei to the outside of the building, then stopped and said, "I have already called your Director Qiao and told her that she told you not to go back to work yet. You can go home and rest today, and go to work on time tomorrow."

"Thank you." Li Jiawei didn't know how to respond and could only keep thanking Zhou Dan to express her gratitude.

"Then I'll take you here." Zhou Dan said with a smile.

"Then I'll leave first, you go on with your work." Li Jiawei responded with a smile.

Li Jiawei walked out of the city government compound. Although it was her first time here, she had no intention of feeling the majesty of the city government compound. At the moment, she just wanted to quickly leave this place that made her feel uneasy.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she saw a familiar car parked not far away, with Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu standing side by side. When Jing Qiu saw Li Jiawei coming out, he hurriedly ran forward.

When Li Jiawei saw Jing Qiu running over, she was filled with endless gratitude. She didn't expect that the two would come to pick her up. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Jing Qiu had come to her side and held her steadily.

Li Jiawei grabbed Jing Qiu's arm, forced a smile on her face, and explained, "I've been sitting for too long, and my legs are numb."

Jing Qiu saw that Li Jiawei's fear had not completely disappeared, so he hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay, go home with mom."
