360 Son, Ism Your Father 14 (1/2)
—
After five years, Jin Qingyue managed to regain her svelte figure.
She managed to return to her prenatal self after shedding the unwanted flab from her chubby and overweight body.
Her phone began to ring right after she dropped Jin Bao'er off at school.
”Jin Qingyue,” a familiar voice said over the phone. Jin Qingyue's hands began to tremble upon realizing that it was Shi Shaochuan who called.
”You're released?”
”That's right, I'm out of prison. All thanks to you, I was in there for five years. Now I finally get to be free.”
”Then turn over a new leaf and become a good person.” Not wishing to speak to him any further, Jin Qingyue ended the call and switched off her mobile phone.
Sitting in her car, she felt a sudden sense of threat and impending danger.
It seemed her peaceful and comfortable life was about to be disrupted.
She decided to buy a medium-sized mansion in an estate where security was tight and hired a bunch of bodyguards and servants to live with her.
She did not remarry because she had yet to meet a man whom she could trust completely.
For the past few years, she had been feeling rather lonely and empty emotionally, though she had been leading a comfortable life.
She would frequent nightclubs at night, in hopes of meeting an ideal man.
However, she had never met a suitable man.
Upon arriving home, she switched her phone on again and gave her brother a call.
”Brother, Shi Shaochuan is released from prison.”
”So what if he is? Are you afraid of him?”
”I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried.”
”Bring more bodyguards with you whenever you go out. You'll be fine as long as you don't give him the chance to slip in,” Jin Qingyan instructed.
”Alright, shall we have lunch together this afternoon?”
”Sure, come to Wei Ni Estate in the afternoon then.”
”Okay.”
After ending the call, Jin Qingyue sat on the couch and began to realize how lonely it was to be single.
She wanted to find a good man to settle down with.
Yet, she did not know where to find one.
Jin Qingyue began racking her brains as she leaned back against the couch, overwhelmed with sorrow.
She sunk into a trance for the entire afternoon and a million thoughts flooded her mind.
When afternoon arrived, she proceeded to pick her child up from school and headed towards Wei Ni Estate.
She parked the car in the courtyard and caught sight of three children playing merrily at a distance away. She then turned to her daughter, who was seated in the passenger seat, and asked, ”Would you like to go play with them?”
”No, they'll dirty my new clothes.”
Jin Qingyue then unbuckled her daughter's seatbelt and said, ”Get down from the car and go inside with Mommy then.”
The pair of mother and daughter alighted from the car and entered the living room slowly.
Upon sight of Jin Qingyue, An Xiaoning failed to recognize her immediately. Jin Qingyue had become much more mature since the last time they met.
”Sis-in-law.”
”You're here, I heard from your brother that you'd be here for lunch today,” An Xiaoning greeted in response.
Jin Qingyue expressed assent and asked, ”Sis-in-law, who's that child playing with Long Tianze's children outside?”
”He's my son.”
Noticing that she sounded rather convincing, Jin Qingyue asked in puzzlement, ”When did you have a child? I've never seen you pregnant before. Don't tell me… he's adopted?”
”The An Xiaoning you saw previously wasn't me. The one standing before you right now is the real deal.”
”Wait a minute… what do you mean the one previously wasn't you and that you're the real deal? You're making me confused.”
”That An Xiaoning you saw previously was a clone. I'm the real An Xiaoning.”
Jin Qingyue could not believe her ears. ”I've only heard of animal cloning. Since when was it possible to clone humans too?” she asked apprehensively.
”Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it's not possible. Is this the daughter you had with Shi Shaochuan?” An Xiaoning said calmly.
