“Is that how your father treated you when you were a child?”

“Make a guess.”

Instead of answering him, she walked toward the dressing table and removed her makeup. “The election is about to begin soon,” she said,

“No matter who becomes the president, it won’t be of any harm to us.”

“I thought so too. Regardless of who takes the throne, I’ll no longer be compelled by him.”

After removing her makeup, she headed to the bathroom to rinse her face. She then grabbed a sheet of facial serum mask and lay straight on the bed.

“Why didn’t you take one for me too?” he asked.

“Do you even need them? Your perfect complexion has made mine pale in comparison. I must upkeep my appearance and take good care of my skin. Otherwise, if we get photographed together in the future, the media is going to shame me for looking aged and haggard while you’re still handsome and ravishing...”

He chuckled and said, “I’ll gouge out the eyes of whoever dares to write that.”

“...”

At the same time that they were chatting idly, a somber mood filled the air in Jin Yiheng’s room.

“Brother, what’s the matter with you?” Jin Rongyan asked.

“What do you think of Daddy?”

“He’s awesome.”

“How so?”

Jin Rongyan answered, “He just is.”

“You’re still young, you don’t know a thing. He may seem like a good father, but in reality, he’s the worst. He often insults me and cheats me out of my feelings,” said a heartbroken Jin Yiheng.

Upon hearing his words, Jin Rongyan began to find that the situation seemed rather serious. He asked in puzzlement, “Brother, how did Daddy insult you and cheat you out of your feelings? Tell me, quick.”

“I don’t know how to explain it to you,” said Jin Yiheng, who did not wish to repeat the conversation he had with Jin Qingyan in the bathroom.

“Alright, let’s go to bed, then, Brother.”

“I can’t fall asleep.”

“Brother, shall I tell you a story, then?”

“I think we’d better go to bed...”

“...”

The next morning, Team Leader Zhang arrived at Wei Ni Estate in the police car.

An Xiaoning was still sleeping when he arrived.

After making him wait for half an hour while she freshened up and tidied herself, An Xiaoning made her way downstairs and sat down opposite Team Leader Zhang.

“Team Leader Zhang, you woke up so early today.”

“Hehe, I came to talk to you about that woman.”

Knowing his intentions, An Xiaoning said, “Just get straight to the point. Don’t bother beating around the bush. You know me.”

“This Sister Zhang is a member of the Flying Tigers gang. I’m sure you’re well aware of that. They’ve now stated that they want their member back and that they’ll clean up all the mess that she had created. They offered to compensate you with another 10 million dollars.”

“Hmm... that works.” Ten million dollars was a huge sum.

Seeing how quick she was to agree, Team Leader Zhang said, “Alright, I’ll inform them of your decision, then, Team Leader An. You’re an understanding person too, I believe.”

“But, Team Leader Zhang... are you on close terms with the Flying Tigers?”

“Of course not. How could I possibly be on close terms with an opposing party? Well, we just refrain from stirring trouble, as far as possible. They’re powerful and have a massive number of gang members. Unless we have concrete evidence after arresting them, there’s nothing we can do...”

“Mm... there’s something I’d like you to relay to the Flying Tigers.”

“Feel free to speak.”

“Tell them that if they think they have too much money to spare, just let Sister Zhang provoke me again. I don’t mind having more money.”

“Alright... However, that woman is one big troublemaker. The representative of the Flying Tigers sounded so furious over the phone. I reckon she’ll definitely be severely punished once she’s handed over to them.”

“We can’t do anything about that anyway. Some people just enjoy digging their own grave. No one can stop them. Team Leader Zhang, you woke up at such an early time. Have you had breakfast?”

“I bought some food and finished it on my way here. Well then, I won’t impose on you any further,” he said while rising from his seat immediately.

An Xiaoning followed suit and walked him out of the door.

She stood by the entrance and watched as the police car left slowly, after which another car entered the mansion and pulled over. An Xiaoning squinted to take a look at the person who alighted from the car.

“Ye Xiaotian?”

It was indeed Ye Xiaotian. He stepped forward and said, “I need you to do me a favor.”

“Don’t tell me, it’s about Mo Li?” asked a dumbfounded An Xiaoning, who had no idea how she could help him.

“No. Could you help me read my mother’s fortune and tell me how much longer she has left to live?”

An Xiaoning answered with raised brows, “Didn’t your mother seek the help of a fortune-teller to get a talisman that she then forced Mo Li to drink so she’d conceive a baby boy? You should be asking him to read your mother’s fortune. Why have you come to me this time?”

She was clearly mocking him and Mrs. Ye sarcastically.

Ye Xiaotian ignored her tone, knowing that she was just stating facts.

“I still doubt their abilities. I don’t think those so-called fortune-tellers can be compared to you.”

He was obviously expressing his recognition of An Xiaoning’s capability. One would usually feel smug and confident after being praised.

However, An Xiaoning remained calm and kept a straight face, as if she did not hear his compliment at all.

“I rarely read the fortunes of others nowadays, especially when I’m asked to divulge their lifespan.”

Ye Xiaotian cut straight to the chase and said, “I’ll give you two million dollars. Help me out and have a look at her fortune, will you? My mother’s health is debilitating, and she’s becoming weaker with each day. The doctor said that we can only try to stabilize her condition now. I’d like to prepare myself mentally.”

“I don’t just agree to read fortunes for whoever that comes to seek my help. I can help her, but I’d definitely have to charge you. However, you must also answer three of my questions truthfully. Can you do that?” said An Xiaoning, staring at him solemnly.

“What questions? Ask away.”

“Have you ever loved Mo Li truly?”

Ye Xiaotian nodded and expressed assent.

“Since you truly loved her, why did you still hurt her?”

“I didn’t want to either, but I still forced us onto the path of separation.”

“Do you regret it?”

Ye Xiaotian answered with a nod, “I do.”

Despite having asked her three questions, An Xiaoning did not allow Ye Xiaotian to enter immediately. Instead, she said, “Honestly, I really don’t wish to see you. If you didn’t hire a hitman from M Nation to abduct me and Qingyue before making Qingyan choose between saving me and saving her, I wouldn’t have had a close shave with death. I wouldn’t have gotten my womb injured, and I wouldn’t have divorced Qingyan. Qingyan acquired the Ye Corporation to teach you a lesson. Okay, transfer the money to my bank account first.”

“What’s your bank account number?”

She revealed her bank account number, after which Ye Xiaotian whipped out his mobile phone and proceeded to make the transfer.

After receiving the payment, she asked, “Tell me your mother’s birth characters and exact birth timing.”

“She was born on the 4th of December in the Year XX at about 11 at night. I’m not sure about the exact timing.”

An Xiaoning nodded and explained, “To put the doctor’s words bluntly, there’s no cure for your mother’s condition. Uremia can usually be kept under control after a kidney transplant with long-term medication and proper care. The fact that she suffered a relapse so soon after Bai Ranran donated her kidney to her just goes to show that her retribution arrived in advance. I’ve read her birth characters. She’s not going to pass away any time soon. Heaven would usually punish great sinners like her by putting them through long periods of suffering and pain before letting her go. She’s due to die in November this year, according to the lunar calendar. She still has a few months more to go.”
