The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

You're the Only One I Adore

Terrorized with shock, An Xiaoning called out softly, “Old Madam?”

However, there was no response at all from old Mrs. Jin, whose eyes were tightly shut.

An Xiaoning reached out to pick up the knife, only to find that there were bloodstains on it and that old Mrs. Jin’s pillow was drenched in blood.

At this very moment, a bunch of people showed up at the door, appearing to have been in a hurry. Jin Qingyan was shocked beyond his senses at the sight of An Xiaoning standing there with a knife in her hand.

Mrs. Jin hurried to the side of the bed and fell to her knees as she wept out loud, “Mother.”

Mr. Jin was plunged into a state of grief just as he was in the midst of a celebratory mood.

Teary-eyed, he cried in agony, “Mother!”

Jin Qingyan stood rooted by the door, afraid to take another step forward. His eyes were red and brimming with tears; he could not believe the scene before him.

As soon as he regained his senses and rationality, he closed the door shut right away and walked towards the center of the living room. Clenching his fists, he announced to the guests, “My grandmother isn’t feeling too well today. I’m afraid we won’t be able to carry on with her birthday celebration.”

“Is old Madam alright?”

“What happened to old Madam?”

“…”

Jin Qingyan was bombarded with questions from the curious guests, to which he answered, “We’re not too sure about her current condition. But may everyone please take your leave.”

With his hands trembling slightly, Jin Qingyan turned around and returned to his grandmother’s bedroom.

He closed the door, leaving the butler and servants outside.

“Mother!” Jin Qingyan exclaimed as he frantically pulled his mother away to stop her from yanking An Xiaoning’s hair any further.

“Qingyan, let go of me. I’m going to shred her into pieces. She killed your grandmother.”

“How are you so sure that Xiaoning is the culprit even before any investigations? I don’t think Xiaoning has a reason to kill Grandma.”

“Qingyan! Didn’t you see that she was holding the knife earlier? Who else but her could’ve killed your grandmother!?!” Mrs. Jin hollered in agitation.

Although her hair was a complete mess, An Xiaoning still maintained her composure and said calmly, “It wasn’t me. I was told by a servant to come in here because old Mrs. Jin was looking for me. I noticed the knife on her neck when I entered, thus I pulled it out.”

At this point, she absolutely regretted her decision to pull the knife out.

“An Xiaoning, stop feigning ignorance, you were the one who killed her! I’m going to call the police to arrest you right now!”

“We must call the police right away!” Mr. Jin bellowed sternly.

“Let’s check the surveillance cameras before calling the police. Xiaoning doesn’t have a motive to do that. Besides, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to do something like that here,” Jin Qingyan refuted.

“Qingyan, this is your grandmother’s life we’re talking about!”

“I know that she’s my grandmother. That’s exactly why I must get to the bottom of this matter and find out who did it! Just because you saw it with your own eyes doesn’t mean it’s true!”
