The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

2: Congrats, You're Now Famous!

As she walked through the door, An Xiaoning realized that the villa was much bigger than she imagined. It looked more spacious under the warm yellow light that was cast across the room.

Feeling chilly, An Xiaoning headed straight to the bathroom for a hot shower. Clad in Jin Qingyan’s white shirt and black trousers, she plonked herself down on the sofa and sipped on the hot ginger tea he made. The entire situation seemed rather peculiar and inappropriate since he was considered a stranger.

“If it were anybody else, they probably wouldn’t take me in,” said An Xiaoning.

“I’m not just anybody else,” Jin Qingyan said gently, swirling the glass of wine he was holding. “An Xiaoning, while I was on my way home, I happened to chance upon the marvelous feat that was you chasing your Husband and his Mistress out of the car, stark naked at the junction. If it hadn’t been for that, perhaps I would’ve just behaved like ‘anybody else’ and refused to take you in. Congrats, you’re now famous.”

Startled by Jin Qingyan’s words, An Xiaoning quickly explained, “Mr. Jin, I’m actually here to discuss a deal with you.”

“Oh?” said Jin Qingyan with raised eyebrows as he placed his feet on the table and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. “What would you like to discuss with me about?” he questioned calmly.

“Your mother has been feeling a constant pain in her calf that won’t go away — even after multiple treatments by different doctors. Am I right?” An Xiaoning asked.

“Yes.”

“I have a permanent solution for your mother’s condition. If you trust me, she will never experience the pain ever again,” An Xiaoning said, her eyes fixed on him.

Jin Qingyan was surprised, for not a single soul except his family was aware of his mother feeling pain in her calf. Due to her strong sense of pride, she demanded that her family members not spread the word about her condition. In fact, she was now secretly receiving treatment, but the results had constantly been unsatisfactory.

Just how did An Xiaoning find out? he thought to himself as his mind filled with other questions.

“If you don’t believe me, give me a set of women’s clothes and I’ll go with you to visit your mother,” An Xiaoning said convincingly.

“What do you want in exchange?”

“Money. I want money,” she bluntly replied, with no intention of hiding her thoughts at all.

“How much?”

“I’m not a greedy person. Just 100 thousand yuan will do.”

In a moment of recklessness, Jin Qingyan gave his assistant a call and ordered her to deliver a set of women’s clothes for An Xiaoning. This was all done without hesitation.

“Are you aware of the consequences of lying?” Jin Qingyan questioned rhetorically.

“If what I said is not true, you’re free to do whatever you want to me,” replied An Xiaoning confidently, smiling as she finished her ginger tea.

Noticing how confident she was, Jin Qingyan decided to give her a shot.

An Xiaoning quickly put on the set of women’s clothes and followed him to visit his mother at his family mansionette.

“Qingyan, who’s this lady you’ve brought?” asked Jin Qingyan’s grandmother, the old Mrs. Jin.

“Just a specialist for Mother’s condition,” he replied. Then he asked, “Father, where’s Mother?”
