449 The Secret About the Past 67 (1/2)

As soon as she arrived at the door, the secretary informed her that Jin Qingyan came by during noon and had been waiting for her inside for hours.

She pushed the door open and was immediately greeted with the sight of him sitting on the couch quietly.

After closing the door, she walked inside and asked, ”What are you here for?”

He sprung up immediately and walked towards her.

To his surprise, An Xiaoning walked past him and hung her purse onto the clothes hook before taking a seat on her chair.

Jin Qingyan approached her once again and supported himself against the desk. He looked down at her and said, ”Are you still angry?”

”I'm not angry, why would I be?”

He reached out to grab her chin, forcing her to maintain eye contact with him.

”Don't lie to me. I know you're still angry. I'm sorry.”

”It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing? You're never wrong or at fault.”

”…”

”I shouldn't have kept it from you. Xianxian called me yesterday to say that her mother had slapped her. I went to see her and comforted her while she was bawling and weeping. You happened to call me at that time so I didn't answer. I didn't tell you about it because I knew that you disliked her and you'd definitely hit the roof if you found out that I didn't pick up your call because I was with her at the time. Had I known that you'd get so upset, I would've told you the truth right from the start. Besides… ”

He continued, ”I wasn't blaming you for the matter regarding Ciye. Telling him the truth wasn't your fault since he was the one who wanted to know.”

Noticing that she was not answering him, Jin Qingyan cocked his head sideways to look at her before saying, ”Are you really that angry? How can I make you feel better? Tell me.”

In fact, his words were already enough to make her anger dissipate.

Pouting her lips, she answered, ”I'm not that petty. I wouldn't have gotten angry if you'd decided to be honest from the start.”

He immediately rushed forward to hug her and said, ”I haven't had my lunch because I was waiting for you.”

”You're not the only one who hasn't eaten, I haven't either.”

”Shall we go and eat together then?”

”Let's go.”

As soon as she stood up, he hugged her by her waist and gave her a kiss before saying, ”You're finally not upset anymore. Great!”

After shadowing her mother for a day, Jin Qingyue realized that the situation was far more serious than she had imagined.

She did not make a sound throughout and instead followed Mrs. Jin all the way home.

”Why have you come back at this time?”

”I've been following you the entire day. Mother, is that 20-something-year-old the man who sold you those health supplements?” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I was the one who initiated the purchase because I took pity on him,” Mrs. Jin answered.

”You're in the pink of health, what are you taking those supplements for?”

”I'm not taking them anyway.”

”Why did you buy them in the first place then? Do you think you're doing charity? That gigolo is obviously out to cheat you out of your money,” Jin Qingyue snapped.

”Why do you have to put it that way? Xiaotian is really having a hard time working as a salesman, why do you have to call him a gigolo?”

”I'm already being kind by calling him a gigolo. Mother, have you got too much money to spend? Do you want me to tell Sis-in-law to cut back on your allowance from now on?” Jin Qingyue threatened.

”I'll strangle you if you dare breathe a word about this to her. Are you trying to make life hard for me? Stay out of my matters and just mind your own business,” Mrs. Jin snapped.

”Mother, I'm just sparing a thought for you. Why can't you understand where I'm coming from? You're being so stubborn.”

”I'm already such an old adult. Do you really think I need you to teach me what to do? You actually followed me for the entire day. Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands. Since you're so free, just go find yourself a man,” Mrs. Jin scorned before turning around to walk away.

Jin Qingyue stood rooted to the ground and remained silent.

She got inside the car. Suddenly reminded of Jin Bao'er, she decided to give Shi Shaochuan a call.
