274 Yousre the Only One I Adore 7 (1/2)

After saying her piece, An Xiaoning closed her eyes and got down on her knees to kowtow a total of three times.

As soon as she stood up, a sudden gasp filled the air, adding to the spookiness of the night.

Xu Yang's forehead creased into a frown as he frantically grabbed onto Pan Zhenghui's arm, causing the latter immense pain. However, Pan Zhenghui did not dare to shake him off and had no choice but to bear with the pain.

Not afraid at all since her conscience was clear, An Xiaoning kept her eyes fixed on the grave.

”Little lass…”

”I'm here, Old Madam,” An Xiaoning said agitatedly.

”Are you not going to call me 'Grandma' anymore now that you and Qingyan are divorced?” old Mrs. Jin's spirit asked in disappointment.

”No, Grandma. I've always treated you like my own grandmother. I was just afraid that you would be upset if I went against the rules and formalities,” An Xiaoning eagerly explained.

”Why would I? I've always been supportive of you getting back together with Qingyan. It's been hard on you, little lass.”

”Nothing of that sort. Grandma, who was the one… who did such a ruthless thing to you? Could you tell me?”

”Xiaoning, I'm sorry, but Grandma can't tell you. However, I'd like to see Qingyan's father and tell him the answer personally. Don't worry, I will help prove your innocence. To all the police officers present, Xiaoning didn't murder me, don't accuse her falsely,” said old Mrs. Jin.

”Old Madam, we've always felt that she didn't do it, but we just didn't have the evidence to prove her innocence. Xiaoning has constantly been accused by your son and daughter-in-law, so…”

”Call my son here.”

An Xiaoning turned towards Ma Jianguo and instructed, ”Give Qingyan a call and get him to inform his father. Quick.”

”Got it.” Ma Jianguo proceeded to call Jin Qingyan immediately.

After informing Jin Qingyan, An Xiaoning and the rest continued to wait for their arrival.

Noticing that the incense stick was about to finish burning, An Xiaoning quickly replaced it with a new one.

The sky was pitch dark, and gusts of cold wind were blowing strongly.

Twenty minutes later, they finally heard footsteps approaching quickly.

Jin Qingyan arrived with his parents, as well as the butler.

”Uncle, Grandma said she'd like to see you alone. No one else is allowed to go near,” said An Xiaoning.

Mr. Jin had a stern expression on his face while Mrs. Jin insisted, ”I want to be there too.”

”I'm sorry, Mrs. Jin, but you weren't asked to be here.” An Xiaoning then instructed Zu Dong and Gong Le, ”Bring Madam away.”

Thus, Mrs. Jin was brought away forcefully while the rest of them waited patiently a distance away from the grave.

Mrs. Jin appeared rather jittery and ill at ease as she continuously paced back and forth.

About half an hour later, it was almost 12 midnight.

Mr. Jin walked towards them slowly with a grave expression on his face. ”Your grandmother would like to see you and Xiaoning,” he said to Jin Qingyan.

Jin Qingyan held An Xiaoning's hand and entered the graveyard.

Both of them then got down on their knees before old Mrs. Jin's grave. ”Grandma,” Jin Qingyan sobbed, tears in his eyes.

”Don't cry, I just think it's a pity that I left too soon and too abruptly. I didn't get the chance to live my life to the fullest. I've yet to even see you two give me a grandchild,” old Mrs. Jin lamented with a sigh.

”Grandma…” Jin Qingyan bawled loudly.

”Grandma has faith in you two. Technology is so advanced nowadays. Besides, it's not like Xiaoning is infertile. Xiaoning, I've never seen Qingyan so uptight and protective over a woman before. I can tell he really wants to spend the rest of his life with you. Since you two have decided to reconcile, you must remember to love and cherish each other,” said old Mrs. Jin.

”Yes, I'll remember your words dearly. Rest assured, Grandma, Qingyan and I will bring the child to see you should we have one,” An Xiaoning answered.

”Alright, I'm looking forward to that day,” old Mrs. Jin said in relief.
