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

After exiting the graveyard, An Xiaoning did not return to the police station with Xu Yang and the rest. Instead, she left together with Jin Qingyan for the old mansion.

On the way home, Mrs. Jin continuously pestered Mr. Jin and asked about what old Mrs. Jin had said to him.

However, Mr. Jin remained tight-lipped and did not respond to her at all.

Although the lights were off in the car, An Xiaoning could tell clearly that Mr. Jin had been trying his best to hold back his emotions throughout the entire journey home.

Jin Qingyan was still holding onto An Xiaoning's hand when they alighted from the car.

”All of you, come here,” said Mr. Jin as he took the lead and walked towards the living room.

Everyone except Mr. Jin took a seat in the living room.

All of a sudden, he bowed down to An Xiaoning.

”Uncle…”

”Xiaoning, I'm very sorry and guilty for what I've done towards you. I've wronged you for everything from the start, including the time we chose to save Qingyue as well as this murder case. I hereby express my deepest regrets and apology.”

An Xiaoning was taken aback by his sudden apology. Although she knew that he had indeed accused her, she did not expect him to be so frank and sincere in apologizing.

”I accept your apology, please take a seat.”

Mr. Jin straightened his back slowly and turned towards Mrs. Jin. ”It's your turn.”

Unable to swallow her pride like her husband did, Mrs. Jin refuted, ”But you've already apologized on our behalf.”

”We're two separate individuals. Hurry up,” Mr. Jin urged with a straight face and an aloofness in his voice.

Mrs. Jin strongly refused and cocked her head towards the side, away from him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Trying to smooth things over, An Xiaoning said, ”Uncle, let's forget it, if Mrs. Jin is unwilling to do so.”

Glaring at Mrs. Jin, Mr. Jin bellowed, ”No! I'm giving you one last chance. If you're still not willing to apologize, I'll have no choice but to get the servants to force you to kowtow.”

”What are you trying to do!?! It's your own decision to apologize. Why do you have to force me to do the same?” Mrs. Jin snapped.

Unable to tolerate her outrageousness any longer, Mr. Jin released his anger and gave Mrs. Jin a hard slap across her face, causing her to be robbed of her senses. It was a long while before she managed to recover from the shock.

Jin Qingyan seemed to have sensed something and continued to remain silent while holding onto An Xiaoning's hand.

”Apologize.”

Realizing that there was no way she could retaliate, Mrs. Jin had no choice but to do it. ”Xiaoning, I'm sorry.”

Before An Xiaoning had even responded, Mr. Jin chided, ”Apologize sincerely like I did. I know you weren't apologizing with your utmost sincerity.”

Suppressing her anger, Mrs. Jin rose from her seat to give An Xiaoning a bow. ”Xiaoning, I'm sorry,” she apologized yet again.

From An Xiaoning's perspective, there was nothing much she could really say since they were both Jin Qingyan's parents.

If she were to marry Jin Qingyan again in the future, she would still have to address them as her parents-in-law. Thus, she had no choice but to forgive them.

”You were right to have insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. If it weren't for Xiaoning's help, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to speak to your Grandma again. Fetch Qingyue here when daybreak arrives. Make sure she's here by nine o'clock in the morning. I have something to speak to you guys about,” Mr. Jin said to Jin Qingyan.

”Alright.”

Mrs. Jin appeared to be completely flustered and flabbergasted. Noticing that Mr. Jin was walking towards the bedroom, Mrs. Jin frantically chased after him.

Jin Qingyan pulled An Xiaoning up before giving Fan Shixin a call. ”Bring some bodyguards to surround the entire mansion and keep it on lockdown. No one is allowed to leave here tonight.”

”Why?” An Xiaoning asked after he ended the call.

”Because I don't want to allow the murderer a chance to escape. My woman is so capable and outstanding indeed. Not only did you manage to prove your own innocence, you've even uncovered the truth,” Jin Qingyan complimented her while draping his coat over her shoulders.

”The truth?”

Jin Qingyan gave her a peck and said, ”You'll know tomorrow. You ought to take a cleansing shower tonight.”
