“I can't answer that question . Have you seen the drawing?”
She replied, “Yes . Is that real or was it just a random picture you painted?”
“It's real . I'm guessing Xi Houling has already destroyed that drawing . ”
Astonished, An Xiaoning replied, “Why did you guess that?”
He replied, “Because there was once a man who stole a few too many glances at you, and Xi Houling ruthlessly gouged that man's eyes out . The picture depicts you and a male stranger . How could he possibly keep it if he's seen it?”
An Xiaoning was rather apprehensive and doubtful of his words . Was Jin Qingyan really that cruel in the past?
She yearned to find out the truth .
She lay in bed and stared at the ceiling above . She then replied, “What's your purpose in sending me that drawing, then?”
He answered truthfully, “I wanted to spite him on purpose . ”
An Xiaoning almost choked when she read his reply . Were they rivals in our previous lifetime?
I'll know once I test him .
“Did you spite him on purpose… because you two used to be rivals in love?”
It was the sender's turn to choke .
“Hua Jin, you've gotten even more shameless than before . How could I be his rival in love? You may be a precious gem in his eyes, but to me, you're just a worthless nothing . ”
An Xiaoning could not be bothered to argue with him after seeing how harsh he was with his criticism of her . She replied, “You're such a haughty and arrogant narcissist . ”
Shi Shaochuan was initially planning to let Bu Xianxian return to her own place for one night and come back after Shi Bao'er leaves the next morning . To his surprise, Bu Xianxian did not agree .
Although he was rather puzzled, he did not say much .
He was also planning to bring Shi Bao'er to the amusement park for a day of fun and to make things clear to her . However, she was against the idea .
Hence, the three of them spent the entire day watching television at home .
Shi Shaochuan went out in the afternoon to have a few drinks with his friends .
Shi Bao'er and Bu Xianxian were left alone at home .
Bu Xianxian was watching television on the first floor while Shi Bao'er stealthily headed to her father's bedroom upstairs .
She opened the drawer, only to discover that it contained Bu Xianxian's clothes and lingerie . Shi Bao'er closed the drawer and shifted her gaze onto the cosmetic products on the table .
An idea popped up in her mind, and she swiftly exited the room before returning again more than ten minutes later .
She walked toward the dressing table and poured some pesticide, which she had obtained stealthily, into each bottle of cosmetic product . She then shook the bottles before leaving .
She exited with the empty pesticide bottle and placed it back in its original position . A gardener then proceeded to grab the bottle, only to find that it was empty . “Missy, did you touch this pesticide?” the gardener asked .
“I poured it away . ”
“Oh, good that you didn't drink it . It's a very poisonous pesticide . ”
“I obviously wouldn't drink it . ”
I'm already in elementary school . I can read the words written on the bottle clearly, Shi Bao'er thought to herself .
She was in utmost awe of herself for being able to devise such a clever trick .
She was as happy as a lark because of the prank she had pulled .
All of a sudden, she decided not to stay at home and instead called her father so he could bring her back to the martial arts academy .
Shi Shaochuan headed home to send her to the academy and instructed her to focus on training and learning in the boot camp .
Shi Bao'er agreed and skipped through the entrance merrily .
An Xiaoning took a nap in the afternoon and woke up afterward to a text message Jin Qingyan had sent her . He informed her that he would be discussing a business deal with CEO Zhou and would not be coming home for dinner . He also told her that he would only be returning in the late evening .
Thus, she had dinner alone, after which she took a walk to aid digestion . However, she strayed a little too far from the main mansion .
“Young Madam, turns out you're here,” said Xiao Huang, who was panting heavily from running .
“What's the matter, Xiao Huang?”
“I tried to call you but I couldn't get through to you . Chief wants me to tell you to go over . ”
“Alright . ” She followed Xiao Huang back and asked, “Did he say what it's about?”
Xiao Huang answered softly, “Young Sir got a relapse…”
“Is anyone watching him?”
“The bodyguards called Chief Fan and they're keeping close tabs on Young Sir . The Chief asked you if you'd like them to knock Young Sir out and bring him home . That was what Young Sir told us to do previously, in the event of a relapse . ”
“No, that doesn't solve the problem at all . ” She picked up her tracks and strode forward quickly .
She had already consulted a psychiatric expert and obtained an effective solution for Jin Qingyan's condition . She was told to not knock him unconscious whenever he suffers a relapse, for it would only control his condition temporarily . The root of the problem would not be addressed at all .
Since Jin Qingyan was suffering from a psychological disorder, it was crucial to seek treatment that would tackle the root problem .
Fan Shixin was waiting for her in the guardroom . Upon seeing her, he immediately said, “What do we do now? Do we knock him out and bring him home?”
She repeated the words she said to Xiao Huang earlier . “Knocking him out is not going to solve the problem . We can't possibly knock him out for life, can we?”
“Young Madam, you mean…?'
“How did he suffer a sudden relapse? What did the bodyguards who followed him say?”
“The bodyguards said that Young Sir caught sight of a woman being violated by three men at the night club and so he decided to intervene and stop them . In the end, the men were very arrogant and they didn't recognize who Young Sir was because he was wearing shades . Young Sir only brought two bodyguards with him, and the men were not intimidated by him at all and began hitting him . Although Young Sir didn't lose the brawl…”
“Which nightclub was it?”
“I'll take you there . ”
“Drive the car there, hurry,” An Xiaoning urged .
“Got it . ” Xiao Huang took the key away from Fan Shixin's hands and scurried toward the car .
Within two minutes, the car arrived at the entrance . Xiao Huang alighted while Fan Shixin and An Xiaoning got inside the car .
They then swiftly drove out of Wei Ni Estate toward the destination .
An Xiaoning instructed Fan Shixin what to do when they meet Jin Qingyan later . Fan Shixin did her bidding .
Once they arrived, they weaved through the crowd and headed upstairs .
She had already verified with the bodyguards that Jin Qingyan was indeed inside the private room .
It would be a piece of cake for her to find which room he was in .
However, she bumped into a familiar face as soon as she entered the corridor .
It was CEO Zhou, the businessman whom Jin Qingyan was supposed to meet with tonight .
CEO Zhou walked toward her with a sullen expression on his face . Upon the sight of her, he stopped in his tracks .
He said, “Ms . An, you must be here to catch him red-handed in bed . ”
“Catch him red-handed? You're reading too much into things . Everyone knows that I'm the only person Qingyan loves . It's better that you don't spout any nonsense, lest you create unnecessary trouble for my lover, CEO Zhou . ”
“I'm spouting nonsense? You'd better go inside and take a look for yourself . I was initially planning to discuss a deal with CEO Jin, yet he focused all his attention on a woman and completely ignored me . He disregarded our business deal . Well, the Jin Corporation is a huge and wealthy corporation . Losing a deal with us shouldn't matter much . ”
