Chapter 1204: I Want to Make You Stay (82)

“I’ll be fine,” said Jin Qingyue, who made her exit delightedly.

Feeling worried, Fan Shixin asked, “Young Madam, are you really going to consider disciplining that child?”

“I’ll decide after seeking Qingyan’s opinion when he comes home later.”

“I reckon Missy must be calling Young Sir now and begging him for his approval. I’m very certain.”

“How are you so sure?”

“It’s too obvious.”

“…”

After Fan Shixin left, An Xiaoning read the news again to see that there were updates of Wen Lele’s condition.

She had been resuscitated.

Seventy-five percent of her body had been covered in severe burns.

She would require skin grafting surgery and was still in critical condition. She had to continue being hospitalized for further observation.

An Xiaoning could already imagine what Wen Lele looked like now. She felt sympathy for Wen Lele, despite finding her a little too foolish and scheming. However, the latter did not commit any evil deeds at the end of the day.

After suffering such severe burns, the rest of her life would definitely be ruined.

Judging from what she knew about Shi Shaochuan, An Xiaoning was certain that he definitely wouldn’t look after Wen Lele for the rest of her life or treat her well. It was only a matter of time before he ditches Wen Lele.

This Shi Bao’er…

An Xiaoning sat on the couch with a frown on her face and pondered over the incident until Jin Qingyan returned.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so preoccupied?” Jin Qingyan asked as he took a seat beside her and removed his blazer.

An Xiaoning looked at him and said, “Your niece. I’m sure you’ve heard about Wen Lele being trapped in a fire today, haven’t you? Shi Bao’er was the one behind the act, and Shi Shaochuan is giving up her custody. He sent the child back to Qingyue. She wants me to take Shi Bao’er in hand.”

Jin Qingyan said, “She gave me a call to inform me about that. I told her that it all depends on your wishes.”

“Does this mean you’re respecting my decision? You will have no objections even if I’m not willing?” asked An Xiaoning, who was rather happy.

He stared at her solemnly and answered with a smile, “Of course. I won’t be happy if you’re being compelled against your wishes.”

Hugging her knees, An Xiaoning asked, “May I hear your opinion, then? Do you think I’m capable of completing this task?”

Jin Qingyan placed his arm behind her back and said, “That’s hard to say, but my suggestion is that you give it a try. It all depends on your decision, however. So what if you really don’t want to do it? It doesn’t help that Bao’er is our niece. That child is really brazen though, just like her father. Genetics really work in such an amazing way. I still remember when Shi Shaochuan ran Wang Fangfang over and hid her corpse. If the Shi family hadn’t pulled their connections and given Wang Fangfang’s parents that much money, or if Qingyue hadn’t covered up for him, he would have been executed long ago.”

An Xiaoning said, “Qingyue seems to have made up her mind. She said that she’ll have no objections even if I beat Bao’er to death… Both she and Shi Shaochuan really don’t know what to do with the child. Now that Qingyue is pregnant, it’s really inappropriate for Bao’er to live with her. If Bao’er gets up to any evil tricks…”

“What do you think?”

“I actually don’t want to, but… I think she’s a huge troublemaker, and if we let her continue being led astray, who knows what she might do again in the future? As you’ve said, I’ll give it a try,” she said.

Jin Qingyan kissed her and said, “Qingyue said that she’s willing to pay you 50 million dollars. Milady, you don’t even have to go out to work and money will come knocking on your door.”

“She’s your biological sister, after all. How can I take so much money from her? Let’s put the topic of money aside. I’ll give it a try first. It won’t be too late to discuss the price again once I’m confident about taking her in hand.”

“I initially thought that it would be a tall order to discipline Bao’er. However, I’m starting to find it rather feasible after having a chat with you.”

“Really? Why?” she asked gleefully.

“Because there’s nothing you can’t achieve, so long as you put your mind to it. You couldn’t swim so you started learning how to. You weren’t proficient in foreign languages so you decided to pick them up. You always strive to broaden your knowledge and acquire skills that you don’t already have,” said Jin Qingyan, recalling the things she had done after marrying him.

“I grew up on the mountains with my mentor ever since I was a child. My mentor taught me most of the things I know. After she passed away, I returned to my foster parents’ home and got married to Shi Shaochuan. I found that driving was a necessary skill so I decided to pick it up. I’ll do whatever it takes to attain a skill, so long as I find it important.”

“Boss, that fellow is calling you again!” An Xiaoning picked her mobile phone up from the coffee table to look at the caller display. As soon as she saw that it was a call from Wang Jinsheng, she immediately answered, “It’s me, are there any new leads?”

“Yes, we found a few other coffins near the lake where we found that mutated corpse. The coffins are still there and we didn’t dare to move or open them. We were afraid that history would repeat itself. Ms. An, are you free now?”

“Are you at the site or at the archeological research center right now?”

“I’m at the site.”

“Got it, I’ll make a trip there now,” she said before hanging up. She then put on her shoes and stood up.

“Where are you going?”

“They said that they had found a few other coffins by the lake. I’ll go take a look,” An Xiaoning said while making her way upstairs.

More than ten minutes later, she returned downstairs. He asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

“No, you’ve had a long day at work. Although you’ve been taking the medicine given by Teacher Bei Qi, your leg has yet to fully recover. You’d better rest at home.”

“Yes, Ma’am. You must call me first, should anything crop up.”

“Got it.” Just as An Xiaoning was about to leave after putting on her shoes, she stopped in her tracks and said, “Qingyue said that she’d be dropping by again tonight. If she does, tell her that I’ll be giving it a try. However, there’ll be nothing I can do if there still aren’t any changes.”

“Yes, I’ll tell her your exact words.”

….

An Xiaoning headed to the lake.

She arrived to see that Wang Jinsheng and Team Leader Zhang were both present.

“How many coffins are there?”

“Five,” Wang Jinsheng answered.

“You didn’t open any of them?”

“We were waiting for you to come.” Wang Jinsheng and Team Leader Zhang led An Xiaoning to the coffins.

The five coffins were spaced near each other, and two of the five contained two corpses each.

After taking a look, she said, “Collect some soil samples from the ground nearby and send them to the lab to test the pH levels. Check everything once more.”

“We’ve already done that. You’ve got such foresight, Ms. An. It’s getting dark soon, should we open the coffins now?” Wang Jinsheng said.

“Of course, open them now. You must be very careful. There might be some amulets on the corpses, like the one before. It’d be terrible if you accidentally shook them off.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I understand.”
