272 Yousre the Only One I Adore 5 (2/2)

Touching her lips subconsciously, she could not help but feel over the moon at the thought of the kiss in Jin Qingyan's car earlier.

Jin Qingyan bumped into Ma Jianguo and the rest when he arrived back at the Jin family old mansion. Upon sight of him, Ma Jianguo greeted, ”Hi, Mr. Jin.”

”Hello, Officer Ma and everyone else.” Jin Qingyan strode towards him and said softly, ”Is there any outcome after asking the butler about the portrait sketch?”

”The butler answered that Liu Yingying had worked here before but quit afterwards.”

”Let me have a look.”

Ma Jianguo handed him the sketch.

Jin Qingyan scrutinized the sketch before shaking his head and saying, ”No, I saw her on the morning of my Grandma's birthday.”

Ma Jianguo's eyes lit up in surprise. ”Really?”

”Yes, she broke a vase by accident and I happened to walk past her at the time. I've always had a good memory. Let's keep this a secret for now, I'll begin investigating around my home,” said Jin Qingyan.

”Alright.”

Jin Qingyan then walked towards the living room with a heavy heart. He had taken the familiar route towards the mansion countless times ever since he was young. Yet, this time, he was dragging his feet along.

He was no fool.

The fact that the butler constantly denied the existence of the servant, even though she indeed existed, could only mean one thing: the butler was lying!

The butler had been serving the Jin family for decades.

He could already be considered a part of their family.

There were only two reasons behind his decision to lie.

”One could be that he lied out of his own accord, another was… Mother made him do so,” Jin Qingyan pondered to himself as he stopped in his tracks.

He could not help but find the entire situation extremely ridiculous.

As much as that was the only conclusion he could come up with for now, what he needed to know now was the reason why the butler was hiding the truth about the servant. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Jin Qingyan gazed at the entrance of the living room.

He felt his heart wrench with immense pain and sorrow.

Although old Mrs. Jin had already passed on for more than half a month, he could still feel her very presence in the mansion.

He still remembered how she used to nag at him and call him to come home for meals.

He stepped foot inside to see that Mr. Jin was seated on the couch, with Mrs. Jin beside him, while the butler was standing by the side.

Mr. Jin let out a grunt upon seeing Jin Qingyan.

”Butler, bring me a pot of tea,” Jin Qingyan instructed as he entered through the door with his hands in his pocket.

”Yes, Young Sir.”

Sitting opposite his father, Jin Qingyan crossed a leg over another and rested his hands on his lap as he stared at his parents.

He continued to stare at them while suppressing his emotions of confusion and bewilderment.

Silence filled the air.

When the butler arrived with the pot of green tea, Jin Qingyan looked up at him slowly and asked, ”Butler, you've been serving us for years and you watched me grow up. I'd like to ask, how did Grandma treat you when she was alive?”

”Old Madam had always been kind and nice to me. I'm very grateful towards her for always taking good care of me.”

”Since you're so full of gratitude, then I have a question for you. On the day of my grandmother's 70th birthday, there was a servant named Liu Yingying who told Xiaoning that Grandma had asked to see her. You denied the existence of this servant when the police questioned you about her. The police made another trip here again just now, and yet you claimed that she did work here before but she had already quit. When did she quit?” asked Jin Qingyan.

”She quit some time ago,” the butler answered politely.

”How long ago exactly?”

”I'm not too sure about that. Age is catching up with me and I've become rather forgetful lately,” the butler said calmly, standing tall and still like a statue.
