He then left the bed reluctantly.

An Xiaoning slept soundly for the rest of the night.

By the time she woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.

She felt much more refreshed and energized, completely devoid of the drowsiness she felt the night before.

An Xiaoning sat on the bed, stared at the spot beside her, then got out of bed.

After washing up, she put on some makeup and left her room with her purse in hand. The Gu family was already waiting for her in the restaurant of the hotel.

They then returned home after finishing the buffet breakfast.

Jin Qingyan arrived in B City via his private jet, which he boarded on the way back. Hence, he arrived back in A City much earlier than they did.

He landed on the private hangar of Wei Ni Estate and soon arrived at the garage of his mansion minutes later.

“Young Sir, Sir is here.”

“How long has he been here for?”

Fan Shixin raised his finger and said, “It’s been an hour since he arrived. He seems to be very angry.”

Jin Qingyan handed his car keys to Fan Shixin and walked toward the mansion.

Mr. Jin was sitting on the couch and turned around to take a look when he heard footsteps approaching.

“You’re finally back. Were you the one behind Youran’s incident?” Mr. Jin asked with a sullen expression on his face.

Jin Qingyan kept a straight face and said, “Who did you hear that from?”

“Gu Dongcheng came to look for me personally. If you were the one who did it, release her immediately. She’s still your sister at the end of the day. Just spare her this once.”

“What did he say to you?”

“That’s none of your concern.”

Jin Qingyan sneered and said, “You came here to find your daughter without any concrete evidence. You don’t have to go to such extremes even if you want to make it up to her. You need evidence for everything.”

“I heard that she was the culprit behind your mother’s death, but since your mother is dead, so be it. Although I’ve let her down, I didn’t divorce her because of Youran’s mother. After Youran’s mother died, I didn’t show Youran any concern either. How about your mother? She had an illicit affair with the butler behind my back and lied to me about Qingyue. I raised and doted on someone else’s daughter for nothing. Just forget it now that she’s dead and let Youran off,” Mr. Jin said straightforwardly.

Just forget it now that she’s dead…

Jin Qingyan rubbed his temples. When his mother was alive, she was very promiscuous with her relationships…

Especially that young chap she bought supplements from.

However… at the end of the day, she was still his birth mother.

He still ought to avenge his mother and exact revenge on the person who caused her death. Besides, Xu Youran had also tried to kill An Xiaoning as well as the entire Jin family…

A calamity would ensue if he were to let her off.

“As I said, come and question me only after you’ve got the evidence. I’m not obligated to answer these questions of yours.”

Mr. Jin was at a loss for words.

To make matters worse, he had been losing all his money at the gambling den, causing him to be in a foul mood.

“Give me some money.”

“Where did your money go?” Jin Qingyan questioned even though he already knew the answer.

“I don’t have much money to begin with.”

“How much do you need?”

“One hundred million dollars.”

“Got it, five million dollars.”

“One hundred million,” Mr. Jin reiterated.

“Three million.”

“Fine, five million. Why are you so stingy with your own father?” Mr. Jin chastised, glowering at him angrily.

“That can’t be helped, I need money to marry a wife and feed my family.”

“…”

After Mr. Jin left, Jin Qingyan rested his legs on the coffee table and leaned against the couch to ponder over his thoughts.

Fan Shixin entered to see that his eyes were tightly shut, seemingly sleep deprived.

“What did Sir come to see you for?”

“Gu Dongcheng told him to come to me for Xu Youran.”

“What did you tell him, Young Sir?”

“I told him exactly what I told others. I can’t possibly admit to it. He’s lost almost all his money during gambling. I gave him five million dollars.”

Fan Shixin snorted with laughter and said, “Sir would definitely hit the roof if he finds out that all the money he had lost had gone to you. You’ve got him wrapped around your finger and have played him like a fool. He actually came here to ask you for money that he’s going to end up losing to you again.”

“He’ll live in peace, because he will never find out about it,” said Jin Qingyan, who opened his eyes.

“Young Sir, did you not sleep well last night?”

“I was suffering from insomnia the whole of last night. I ran out of sleeping pills.”

Fan Shixin took a seat beside him and said, “Young Sir, don’t keep taking sleeping pills, they’re bad for your health.”

“If you have the ability to let her sleep by my side every night, I’ll stop taking them.”

Fan Shixin was well aware of who he was referring to by “her.”

“I have no means to bring An Xiaoning here to sleep with you every night. But I do have a solution to make another her accompany you every day.”

“What do you mean?”

Fan Shixin chuckled and said, “Young Sir, I’ll get someone to construct a life-sized inflatable, based on Ms. An’s exact measurements. You can hug, touch, and use it to satisfy your needs…”

“Do you dare assume that I won’t beat you up? The clone we made previously already gave me enough trouble. Are you thinking of giving me a fake clone this time?” Jin Qingyan chastised.

Pursing his lips, Fan Shixin answered, “What’s wrong with comforting yourself with a placebo?”

“Go ahead with what you’re supposed to do. I’m going upstairs to get some rest.”

“Yes.”

Fan Shixin exited, after which Xiao Huang scurried towards him and reported, “Chief, that woman has gone on a hunger strike.”

“Hah, leave her be. Doesn’t matter even if she starves to death,” said Fan Shixin, who nonetheless continued to make his way to the basement.

After placing the food outside Xu Youran’s door, Fan Shixin entered and said in contempt, “You’re being treated very well, aren’t you? You’re getting fed and provided for. You don’t even have to pay rent. Xu Youran, enjoy whatever you get to eat and drink while you can. After all, you’re going to be faced with a hard time very soon.”

“Just let me die peacefully.”

“Dream on. Young Sir couldn’t even bear to shoot you dead right away because he thinks that’s too quick and painless. Since you refuse to eat or drink, you won’t get to do so from now onward. You’re on your own now,” Fan Shixin sneered.

Xu Youran was feeling famished, and her stomach was growling uncontrollably. Contrary to her expectations, going on a hunger strike did not work at all. Noticing that the dishes were about to be taken away, she hurriedly yelled for them to stop, “I’ll eat!”

Fan Shixin could not be bothered to waste time talking to her and left the basement. Xiao Huang hurriedly followed him and asked, “What does Young Sir plan to do with her?”

“Nothing too kind. Where’s that tan-looking shrew?” Fan Shixin asked, curious about the woman whom he had not seen in a long time.

Amused by his words, Xiao Huang could not help but crack up and answered, “I heard that she had gone to the hospital for plastic surgery ever since Young Sir allowed her to leave the mansion freely.”

“It’s true that she needs to get some work done on her face. I guess everyone has different standards when it comes to beauty, but I really can’t appreciate hers. No wonder my eyes have been extremely comfortable lately. Turns out it’s because that eyesore is gone. Awesome.”

“Chief, you’ve got such a vicious tongue…”

“That depends on who we’re talking about,” Fan Shixin answered with a smirk.

——

The sweet and loving married couple, Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang, had been inseparable after work each day, now that the children were away at the boot camp.

Although they had been in a relationship for years already, they were not sick of each other at all and instead were still head-over-heels in love, as if they were still in their honeymoon phase.
