Shen Nianyao produces an “authoritative” paternity test to prove that Shen Nianwan isn’t their biological daughter.
Mrs. Shen weeps. “Nianwan, we’ve raised you for eighteen years. That’s enough.”

Shen Nianwan appears to accept it, but laughs coldly to herself. With red-rimmed eyes, she takes the check, while her inner monologue says, “A million? The Shen Group makes three hundred million in profit every quarter. Do you think I’m a beggar?”
