The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 1399 - I Only Want You

Chapter 1399: I Only Want You (97)

“Grandma, you were reading too much into things. I removed my name and kept the news of my wedding from you guys simply because I’m an ex-convict and didn’t want to tarnish your reputation again. In my heart, you’ll always be my grandmother, and Father will always be my father too. I’m well aware that you guys had nothing to do with my imprisonment.”

Extremely thrilled to hear her words, Mrs. Qiao quickly said, “Stop standing there. Come here and take a seat beside Grandma.”

Qiao An sat down beside Mrs. Qiao and asked, “Grandma, how has your health been?”

“I’ve been alright. Qiao An, I’ve actually always wanted to visit you in prison, but my legs were aching and I couldn’t do so. You must have suffered a lot when you were in there. You’ve lost so much weight,” Mrs. Qiao said while holding her hand.

Although Qiao An knew that her grandmother was just putting on an act, it did not matter to her at all.

“Once bitten, twice shy. I was framed and put behind bars for three years. I must get my revenge and avenge myself for all the mistreatment that I had received. I can’t suffer for nothing.”

Having understood the hidden meaning in her words, Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, “Son, take a photo of me and Xiao An, then publish a news article and inform the media of our stand and how we feel about Qiao An’s case.”

Back when Qiao An was involved in a lawsuit, the Qiao family did not make any comments and held their silence.

It was rather appropriate of them to publish such a statement at this juncture.

It was exactly what Qiao An wanted to achieve.

Qiao An’s car was stopped when she was on her way back from the Qiao family mansion.

The person who stopped her from leaving was none other than Xi Changzhi.

Qiao An thought to herself, Who gave him the gall and cheek to be so thick-skinned as to stop my car shamelessly?

She alighted from the car and quipped coldly, “What are you trying to do? Daylight robbery? Or are you trying to frame me again?”

Xi Changzhi walked toward her and sneered, “I hate that you had caught me by surprise, but Qiao An, you’re really something, huh? You’ve got the capability to make Su Yan marry you.”

“I just got married and you can already tell that I’m capable? Have you got bionic eyes? Xi Changzhi, there’s still a long way ahead of us. I’m still young. All that you had done to me, I’ll pay you back in double. Just you wait and see.”

“Sure, I’ll be waiting. However, let me warn you beforehand. You’d better not go overboard and end up harming yourself again. If that were to happen, I’ll be in for a good show.”

Qiao An stared at him, wis.h.i.+ng she could give him a few hard slaps. However, she suppressed her anger and glanced at him in disdain before getting back inside her car.

Xi Changzhi watched her car leave, seething with anger.

Is there going to be a twist of fate?

Xi Changzhi was displeased about the fact that she now had the support of Su Yan.

Tang Zhijing was not surprised to hear that Jing Chu had returned to Pei Yi. What surprised him was the fact that Jing Chu had a son.

He said to Jing Chu, “Seems like he still cares about you. I had a hunch long ago that you would never escape his clutches unless he got sick and tired of you. I knew you couldn’t stay in the Su family mansion forever.”

“Yeah, he’s currently settling the divorce proceedings with Tian Tian. We’ll be getting married once he’s divorced. However, I’d need a household register and personal identification card, so I’m trying to get that settled too.”

Tang Zhijing expressed a.s.sent and said, “There’s no hope for me anymore.”

“Why do you say so?”

“I have a feeling that this is how I’m going to live for the rest of my life. I was actually really into having multiple relations.h.i.+ps in the past. However, life has become really bland and mundane after I got sick of casual dating.”

“Try and discover a new interest, then. Tang Zhijing, get a divorce and settle down with a decent woman. Don’t you want to come home to a delicious meal and spend time with your own child every day? Life is too short to be living aimlessly. Go and pursue the life that you want. If your wife is dead against the divorce, take it to court. Don’t bother about the interests and benefits that your marriage will bring you. You can never earn enough money. Tang Zhijing, you’re already wealthy enough. You’ll never be able to earn all the money in this world.”

After a moment of silence, Tang Zhijing said, “Okay, I’ll see to it.”

Jing Chu could tell that Tang Zhijing was in low spirits, although there was nothing unusual about him apart from that.

Jing Chu ended the call and fed her son with some milk. Pei Yi returned shortly after with two doc.u.ments in his hand.

She took a look at the doc.u.ment to see that it was a divorce agreement.

Tian Tian had already signed the agreement.

“Wasn’t she dead set against the divorce? Why did she sign it?”

Pei Yi explained, “I told her that I was going to pursue the matter about her framing you and sending you to prison for two years. I gave her two options, one is to let me reverse the verdict, and the other is to sign the divorce agreement. She chose the second option. I told her to keep the 900 thousand dollars that she had given you as compensation after knocking you down with her car back then. I told her to take it as a compensatory sum for being… a surrogate mother. But of course, I didn’t say it to her face.”

“Aren’t couples supposed to split their matrimonial a.s.sets in half during a divorce?”

“We signed a pre-nuptial agreement that states that our a.s.sets are to remain as our individual a.s.sets, even after a divorce. I’ll settle the rest of the proceedings later.” He winked at her and said, “Wait for me to come home tonight. I want to enjoy a feast for dinner.”

Jing Chu blushed and expressed a.s.sent softly.

He left shortly after.

When serving Jing Chu her dinner, Qin Guo said, “Aren’t you afraid that Madam would find out about you staying here?”

“They’ve already signed the divorce papers and Master Pei is settling the rest of the proceedings now. Didn’t he tell you about it?”

Shaking her head, Qin Guo said in shock, “No. Isn’t Madam still alive? Why did she allow them to get a divorce?”

Being rather intolerant toward Qin Guo, Jing Chu was naturally reluctant to share any information with her. “I’m not sure either. If you really want to know, you may ask Master Pei.”

Qin Guo asked, “How about Little Sir? Does Ancestor have his custody now?”

“Of course, there’s nothing too strange about that,” said Jing Chu.

It did not cross Qin Guo’s mind that Pei Yi and Tian Tian would get a divorce so soon. She was initially waiting to see an interesting battle between Tian Tian and Jing Chu. Yet, Tian Tian was eliminated without even putting up a fight.

She had never expected Jing Chu to be the ultimate winner.

Two years ago, she thought that it would be a piece of cake for Tian Tian to eliminate Tian Tian.

Yet, in the end…

Qin Guo exited and stood by the door, still unable to recover from the shock.

She had been serving Pei Yi and running errands for him for years.

Although she had always carried a torch for him, she never dared to express her affection for him openly, for fear that he would punish her and kill her.

He once stated clearly that he would never allow his female subordinates to harbor any designs on him.

Yet, Pei Yi and Jing Chu had reconciled and eliminated Tian Tian. She definitely didn’t stand a chance now.
