17 How Nice It Is To Marry Me (1/2)
”I… so I'm actually not the biological child of both of you — no wonder you treat me like this, no wonder I don't look like any of you.” She stepped into the house and looked at Mrs. An coldly. ”The two million you got from my in-laws, give it back.”
Mrs An would never give back money she received. She immediately said, ”I have no money to give, except a life of mine.”
”At a young age, I was sent to the mountains by you. Not long after I came back, you forced me to marry into the Shi Family. You've also accepted the betrothal gifts from them — treat that money as my compensation for you. I want this money back now, or don't blame me for being nasty.”
”Unless I'm dead, don't think about taking away a single cent from us!”
Jin Qingyan's figure appeared at the door. He strode in, having already heard everything from their conversation.
”Now, how about this—both of you write a contract to cut off all foster ties and go to the nearest office to get an official statement to remove a household member and this two million will be yours, okay?”
An Xiaoning turned around to look at him. Jin Qingyan held her hand tightly, but his voice became colder. ”Say something.”
”Sure, okay.” Mr. An quickly left the house while Mrs. An hurried An Xiaonan, ”Quick, get a pen and paper.”
An Xiaonan turned around to search for a pen and paper and placed them on the table. He wrote according to what Jin Qingyan instructed him to, and finally, Mrs. An signed on it. Jin Qingyan took a seal from his pocket and passed it to Mrs. An. ”Seal your thumbprint on it.”
Mrs. An sealed her thumbprint without hesitation. After half an hour, Mr. An came back. He showed the statement from the office — it had an official seal on it.
”Sign your name and seal your thumbprint too.”
Jin Qingyan quickly scanned the signatures and said after confirming, ”After today, An Xiaoning has nothing to do with your family. If you go out and publicize that you're related to her, we will take legal action. I hope all of you will understand.”
He turned around, held An XiaoNing's hands, and left.
Mrs An did not feel dejected at all. On the contrary, she was elated. ”It's two million yuan, I would never earn so much in my whole life.”
”Mom, I think both of you have gone overboard.”
Mrs An slapped his head. ”What overboard, if back then your father and I did not pick her up at the roadside, will she be here today? I think two million yuan is still too little — we should get at least ten million.”
An XiaoNan rubbed his head. ”Luckily I'm a son, if I'd been a daughter, both of you would have long sold me for money.”
”You brat… are you the same as her? You are our flesh and blood, we wouldn't sell you no matter what. Enough. Now that we have money, let's get a two-storey house, buy some nice furniture and invest in a small business for you. You still need to get married next time — our good days are finally here.”

The chauffeur drove in one car while Jin QingYan and An XiaoNing drove in another.
”Why did you come here?”
”I knew you couldn't settle it yourself. Isn't it good that this money can get you freedom from that family? Why don't you change your residence to my household?”
An XiaoNing shook her head. ”No, I want to change it to the Gu family's residence.”
Jin QingYan's heart fell. ”Why?”
”Because I'm afraid that one day, I'll get kicked out by you. It'll get troublesome.” She was not at all afraid of avoiding such inauspicious words. ”After all, no one knows about the future. It's best to be prepared.”
”You're such a smart woman.”
An XiaoNing held onto his arm and rested her head on his body. ”From today onwards, you're the closest person I have. Please continue to treat me well.”
Jin QingYan's heart tightened. Hhis closest person wasn't her, but her closest person was him?
On the way home, she had fallen asleep while resting on him.
