578 The Secret About the Past 196 (1/2)
Jin Qingyan stood up immediately and walked toward the door.
Fan Shixin shifted his gaze to the computer screen, feeling a little dismayed at the sight of the unrefreshed webpage.
He clicked the refresh button, after which the web page vanished, as expected.
He then went out of the room as well.
”Has Little Sir eaten?”
”No, he refuses to eat.”
”Let him go hungry then. He'll eat once he's hungry enough,” Jin Qingyan said coldly.
”Go coax him a little. Little Sir is still a child, after all,” Fan Shixin suggested.
”No.”
”…”
”How's my father been doing at the casino?” he asked nonchalantly while cutting himself some steak with a fork and knife.
”Old Sir has been on a losing streak. He has already lost a ton of money, which Sister Hong had sent over,” Fan Shixin answered while standing beside him.
”Keep a close eye on him and make sure he loses, regardless of which casino or gambling den he visits. There'll definitely be a day when he loses everything.”
”Yes. The reporters will definitely hound you tomorrow. Young Sir, do you plan to clarify matters?” Fan Shixin asked.
”No, there's no need for that. Forbid her from seeing Yiheng from now onwards,” he instructed Fan Shixin with an icy cold stare in his eyes.
”Okay.”
He then left the living room and bumped into Bu Xianxian, who asked, ”Chief Fan, is Nick in the living room?”
”What are you trying to do?”
”I want to look for him.”
”Did you forget that you're not allowed to enter the main mansion?” Fan Shixin reminded her.
”Is it true that Nick and An Xiaoning have gotten a divorce?”
”What has that got to do with you?” Fan Shixin hissed before turning around to leave.
Bu Xianxian sneaked inside the mansion while no one was looking.
She ran toward Jin Qingyan and called, ”Nick.”
”Didn't I already forbid you from entering?”
After a moment of silence, she answered, ”I just came by to verify something. Did you two really get a divorce?”
”Yes. Can you go out now?”
Bu Xianxian smiled and asked, ”Nick, why did you two get a divorce?”
He slammed the knife down onto the table and bellowed, ”I told you to get out, do you not understand human language!?!”
The smile on Bu Xianxian's face vanished as she quivered in shock and fright. ”Okay, simmer down. I'll go out right now.”
Jin Qingyan did not look at her and continued eating.

Jin Qingyue resisted the urge to look for her brother and stayed home for the entire day.
Upon realizing that there was no longer any news of them online, she said to Ling Ciye, ”Someone must've been behind this.”
”That's obviously the case. I can't believe they really got a divorce. I still find it so surreal right now. However, I think Qingyan must've been mistaken about something,” said Ling Ciye, leaning against the headboard.
”What do you mean?”
”I heard from Tianze that Xiaoning had entered the Autumn Palace to search for her parents. I can't really explain the details, but I think it's something along the lines of your brother getting hold of some evidence. I asked Fan Shixin to let me have a look at the evidence, but he refused to show it to me and Tianze. I reckon it must be something rather severe.”
”Don't tell me my sister-in-law was unfaithful toward my brother?” Jin Qingyue shook her head and continued, ”I think my brother is already an excellent catch. I doubt Sis-in-law would be so heartless as to do something like that.”
”Who knows? After all, we don't know what actually happened. Perhaps your brother will tell us out of his own accord once he gets over it.”
”Will that affect your perspective toward marriage?” Jin Qingyue asked.
