The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

97: Was She Pregnant?

Seeing how relaxed she was, Jin Qingyan decided to suppress his anger and pulled her into his embrace as he said, “Just let it out if you’re upset. Don’t bottle up your feelings.”

“As your wife, I ought to stay vigilant and resistant towards the evil-doings of others. I know she had always disliked me, but I did not expect her to detest me to such an extent. Well, I guess I can understand why. I’ll stay out of her matters from now on, and don’t ask me anything about her ever again,” An Xiaoning said coldly as she looked up at him.

“Alright.”

——

“Brother, why are you looking at me like that?” asked Jin Qingyue, easing herself into a comfortable position on the couch.

“Qingyue, how I have been treating you since you were young? Tell me truthfully,” Jin Qingyan said sternly.

“Very well. You’ve always doted on me.”

Puzzled, Mrs. Jin asked, “Qingyan, did something happen?”

He looked down and answered, “Hmm, Qingyue hired someone under the disguise of a silicone face mask to mail a bunch of rat carcasses to Xiaoning. It happened three times in total. After some investigation, we found out that she was the culprit.”

“What!” Mrs. Jin exclaimed in disbelief as she turned to look at Mr. Jin. She then glared at Jin Qingyue angrily and hollered, “Tell me, is what your brother said true!?!”

Jin Qingyue would never admit to it, of course. “What do you mean? Of course it isn’t true. How could I have done something like that, especially since she’s my sister-in-law?” she denied.

“We’ve already caught and interrogated the woman you hired. She spilled the beans and revealed that you were the one who had instigated everything. We’ve also tracked the IP address of the phone number you had used to contact her, and it all led to you. Jin Qingyue, do you take me for a fool?” he questioned, staring at her coldly.

Jin Qingyue pinched the couch nervously, too afraid to look him in the eye. She tried to leave after putting on her shoes but was stopped by Jin Qingyan. “Where do you think you’re going? Sit down now,” he ordered.

“I’m going upstairs to catch some sleep,” she said, trying to escape once again but to no avail. Finally, she admitted, “Fine, I was the one who did it, but so what? I admit, I did hire someone to mail her the dead rats.”

Before she knew it, Mrs. Jin gave her a tight slap across her face, causing her ears to ring from the impact. “Mother, you actually slapped me!” she cried, staring at Mrs. Jin in disbelief.

“You deserved to be slapped, didn’t you? Just what did your sister-in-law do to deserve such treatment from you? You’d better come up with a good explanation for what you did!” snapped Mrs Jin as she flew into an uncontrollable rage.

Jin Qingyue was just as furious. She lamented angrily, “I just hate her, alright? I won’t deny that she’s indeed pretty capable, but I can’t stand the fact that you guys believe her completely and try every possible way to stop me from being in a relationship with Shaochuan. Don’t think I don’t know what she had been saying about me behind my back. You guys tried to have my fate changed, just so I would break up with Shaochuan. But let me tell you, I won’t let you have it your way, ever!”

Mrs. Jin was at a loss for words, momentarily dumbstruck. “How… how did you find out…” she stuttered.

“Of course I did. I overheard you guys talking about it, but I’ve been stopping myself from exposing you. Have you ever considered how I felt? We were getting along really well at the start, but because of the seeds of discord you had been trying to sow between us, we’ve ended up arguing almost every other day. I’ve really had enough! I am definitely going to marry Shaochuan, and my decision is final. No one can stop me, not even Heaven!” Jin Qingyue reiterated while staring angrily at her brother and parents.
