The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Sparks Flew in the Washroom

“It’ll stay effective for a long period of time. I’ll give you a new one when it no longer works.”

“Alright.”

Not knowing what her mother and An Xiaoning were murmuring about to each other, Jin Qingyue interrupted their conversation. “Mother, didn’t Brother come home early today? Where has he disappeared to again?”

“He went out to handle some matters. He should be home anytime soon,” said Mrs. Jin. Not long after, Jin Qingyan returned.

It was time for lunch and everyone began tucking in quietly. Mrs. Jin broke the silence and asked An Xiaoning, “How are you coping with helping out with investigations at the police station?”

“I’m coping just fine.”

“I heard they’ve set up a special investigations unit. Which kind of cases do you usually handle?” asked Mr. Jin.

“We handle serious crimes. There are a total of four members in the department, including myself, two armed policemen, and an older, experienced policeman who has handled many cases before. We mainly deal with cases that haven’t been cracked for many years, as well as the murder case which took place recently.”

“I heard you’ve brought some men with you to Shaochuan’s place, claiming that Wang Fangfang was the cause of his parents’ death. Is that true, Sis-in-law?” Jin Qingyue said, sneering.

Upon hearing her tone, An Xiaoning did not wish to go into detail about the matter; thus, she said instead, “We can’t do much if the person involved refuses to cooperate. Am I right?”

“We shall wait and see, then. If it’s really like what you said, then perhaps something may happen again in the future. However, if you’re just spouting nonsense, then I’m afraid nothing will happen anymore.”

After a brief second of silence, An Xiaoning replied, “Wouldn’t it be outright foolish to prove the truthfulness of this matter based on a human’s life? I’m afraid it’ll be too late to realize your folly only after someone has died.”

Shi Shaochuan looked up at her and said coldly, “An Xiaoning, if nothing happens to my family in the near future, do you dare to admit to the media that everything you had mentioned before was nothing but a pack of lies you’ve fabricated?”

“Shi Shaochuan, now that you’re already engaged to my sister-in-law, aren’t you being a little too rude by addressing me by my full name? You’re already a grown man, yet you still lack such basic manners and courtesy. Being the only child, you must’ve been spoiled rotten by your family. What a brat indeed. Also, it’s best if nothing happens to your family. But, in the event that something does happen, are you going to crawl on your knees and apologize to me for your words? Do you dare to take on the bet?” An Xiaoning taunted as her face stiffened.

Shi Shaochuan was momentarily lost for words, for he could not guarantee that his family would be safe and sound.

“Qingyue’s Father and I, as well as Qingyan, know best if Xiaoning is capable or not. I don’t think there’s a need for her to prove anything to you. Shaochuan, you’re marrying Qingyue soon. Thus, you should also be addressing Xiaoning as your sister-in-law. That’s just some basic courtesy and formalities,” said Mrs. Jin, in a bid to stop the conflict.

Shi Shaochuan nodded abidingly, although he was, in fact, rather reluctant to address An Xiaoning as his sister-in-law.

Jin Qingyan remained silent while maintaining his composure.

He would occasionally help An Xiaoning to the food, which was to the joy of Mrs. Jin, for they had gotten closer just like she had wished.

Just as they were about to leave after finishing their meal, An Xiaoning noticed that Jin Qingyan had gone forth to say a few words to Shi Shaochuan, after which the latter nodded fervently with a grimace.
