The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1047: Perplexed and Smitten (107)

“Of course I’m going to. These are all for our daughter, not for you.”

Seething with exasperation, Mrs. Wen retorted, “Did I waste all my youth on you for free? You’re the one who’s in the wrong, yet you still have the cheek to treat me this way. Don’t you find yourself shameful at all? Forget it if the assets are not split equally. I can’t believe you even tried to threaten me. I was really blind to have married you!”

“If you continue to complain, you’ll have none of those things. Do you really think you can win against me in a lawsuit?”

“You… I shall see how long you and that hussy can last!”

“I don’t want to live with you anymore, even for a day! You don’t ever reflect on yourself and your mistakes. You’re hopeless!”

“You’re just giving excuses for your infidelity!”

“…”

Slightly traumatized by her parents’ incessant arguing, Wen Yuechan stood rooted to the ground, at a loss for what to do.

After they stopped arguing, they signed the divorce papers in front of Wen Yuechan. Mr. Wen took out a bank card and said, “This contains the maintenance fees for Yuechan, which will last all the way until she’s 18 years old. I’ll give them to you all in one go, so stop asking me for money from now on. The car is registered under your name anyway. I’ll transfer the ownership of the house to you tomorrow. We’ll settle the divorce proceedings now.”

“I’ll go with you to get that settled after you transfer it to me.”

Mr. Wen shifted his gaze onto Wen Yuechan, who had been remaining silent. “Yuechan, call me when you miss me in the days to come. I’ll take you out to eat delicious food and have fun.”

Wen Yuechan finally burst into tears and bawled loudly, “Those don’t matter to me at all!”

She then ran back to her room.

A while later, Mrs. Wen entered and said, “You father has left.”

Wen Yuechan looked at her while tears flowed from her eyes continuously like a broken tap. At this very moment, she knew that her family would never be complete again.

Mrs. Wen said, “Don’t cry. Your father doesn’t want us anymore. I can’t depend on him anymore, so I’ll have to depend on you from now on. Yuechan, you must make a name for yourself when you grow up and make your father regret his decision to walk out on us!”

“Mommy, what does it mean to make a name for myself?”

“It means to live better than everyone else and become wealthy. Do you understand?”

“But how do I do that?”

Mrs. Wen said, “You’ll have to abide by my teachings, then. There are a few boys in your boot camp, two of which you should play with more frequently. One is Jin Yiheng and the other is Jin Rongyan. Out of all the boys, you’re allowed to play only with that pair of brothers.”

“What about Long Wenlun and Ji Gui? Aren’t they great?” she asked.

“Their families may be affluent too, especially Long Wenlun. He’s the only son of the Long family and he only has a younger sister. His future is bright. However, he can’t be compared to the Jin family. Out of the two Jin brothers, you must prioritize Jin Yiheng. Yuechan, if you can marry Jin Yiheng when you’re older, you and I will be able to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of our lives. We’ll let your father die of regret!”

“But he’s closer to that Long Xiaoxi and he rarely plays with me.”

“How can that ugly and chubby girl compare to you? If he rarely plays with you, you must find a way to make him fancy you and detest that chubby girl.”

“…”

—

“You lost them?” the man asked in a cold and intimidating voice.

“When we arrived in Y Nation, they just went missing really quickly somehow. It’s as if they had just vanished into thin air. I don’t know where they went. I’ve already tried my best.”

“Hmph, it’s not your fault. After all, Xiao Chenyang is not someone whom you can deal with easily. Okay, you’re dismissed.”

“Yes.”

Xihou Jiaping knocked his fingers against the table gently and stood rooted to the ground. He then pressed the service bell, after which a servant knocked on the door.

“Master, do you have any orders for me?”

“What has An Xiaoning been up to the past couple of days?”

“She’s been handling documents and attending to matters at the Jin Corporation office. She often goes there in the morning and leaves only in the late hours of the night. I think she’s still at work now.”

“She’s really capable, huh? She can take on the duties of men. How’s the investigation about Xiao Chenyang and that actress going?”

“There’s nothing unusual with that actress’ background.”

“That’s bloody strange. Why would he become the bodyguard of a random woman for no reason? Don’t tell me, he’s already found his sweetheart? By the way, have you found any clues about the woman who looks identical to the female corpse currently in the museum?”

“No, there are no clues yet.”

“Okay, get out.”

The servant exited the room while Xihou Jiaping changed into a fresh set of clothes. He then left the house, donning a pair of shades.

Although it had already been a week since they arrived in A City, he still could not quite get used to the weather.

He got into a jeep that was parked outside the nightclub and began driving toward the North.

As soon as he pulled up at a road beside the Jin Corporation office tower, he caught sight of An Xiaoning exiting from the turnstile with numerous bodyguards behind her.

He gripped the steering wheel and watched as they walked toward the car park.

He recalled the sight of a frightened An Xiaoning when he popped up behind her that night.

The familiar face had now become his target to kill.

I really wonder if it’s Heaven’s will.

They ended up together again in this lifetime.

What rights do they have to do that?

No one knew how infuriated he was the moment he read about them and their relationship after he woke up from his sleep.

His anger had been accompanied by fear and worry.

At that moment, he immediately decided to kill them first, so as to prevent any unnecessary trouble.

He may have wanted to make her his in their previous lifetime. However, in this lifetime, all he wanted was for the two of them to die.

He simply could not tolerate the sight of them being in a relationship, despite it being another lifetime.

He just could not stand it.

An Xiaoning drove out of the carpark and left slowly.

He did not follow her.

Instead, he made a U-turn and headed somewhere else.

He decided to go to Fang Erlan’s estate.

There was something he had to do now that was far more important than killing Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning.

That is, to find Xiao Chenyang’s Achilles’ heel.

There must have been a reason for him to act out of the ordinary and become someone else’s bodyguard.

Ding-Dong…

Fang Erlan was watching the television in the living room when she heard the doorbell. “Who’s there?” she asked.

“Xiao Chenyang’s brother?”

“Xiao Chenyang’s brother? What are you here for?” Fang Erlan asked in astonishment.

Thinking to herself that only a few people were aware of Xiao Chenyang’s name, she decided to believe him and opened the door.

The man in front of her was rather dashing. However, his looks were nowhere comparable to Xiao Chenyang’s. Fang Erlan looked at his face and did not see any resemblance.
