The notary cleared their throat and began to read from the document.
Mrs. Wen's terms, Lu Fan's terms, the sum of four hundred thousand, the contents of the letter of commitment, and the legal force of the notarization.
They read through it item by item, slowly, each and every word pronounced with perfect clarity.
Wen Wan kept her head down, her fingers clutching Jiang Sifan's hand tightly.
Mrs. Wen sat across from them, her head bowed and her shoulders trembling slightly.
When the notary read, "Party B voluntarily relinquishes custody, guardianship, and all related rights to her daughter, Wen Wan," Mrs. Wen's hand jerked. Her canvas bag slid from her lap and hit the floor with a muffled thud.
She bent over to pick it up, hugging it tightly to her chest.
"If there are no objections, please sign the document." The notary pushed the document in front of Mrs. Wen and offered her a pen.
Mrs. Wen stared at the document for a long, long time.
