643 A Million Times for You 5 (2/2)

”Alright. You've been of such great help, Ms. An. Why don't you come over to our place for lunch today?” said Madam Xu, feeling a little embarrassed.

”No, thank you. I still have something to attend to later,” An Xiaoning answered composedly.

Madam Xu dared not utter another word upon hearing her answer.

An Xiaoning dropped them off at the entrance of the Xu family mansion. They alighted and watched as An Xiaoning's car quickly disappeared near a turn.

An Xiaoning bought a large bag of items for offerings and carried it with her onto the mountains.

It had been a long time since her last visit.

The tombstone was kept spick and span, thanks to the graveyard-keeper who was in charge of the maintenance of the graves.

She squatted down onto the ground and placed the bag of items at the side before reaching a hand in to take the items out.

”Teacher, I'm here to see you. How are you and old Mr. Gu doing?”

An Xiaoning flicked the lighter and ignited a bright, yellow flare, which she then used to set the pile of gold paper ingots on fire. The ingots soon went up in flames.

An Xiaoning then took out a wad of paper money and cast it into the flames.

”Today, I was called by the Xu family to visit an elderly fortune-teller in Beijia Bay. I didn't expect her to turn out to be your senior. She said that she wanted to take me in as her disciple, but I turned down her offer. She told me to ask for your opinion. Teacher, please visit me in my dreams to inform me of your answer, regardless of whether you agree or disagree to it. I miss you. I've been really busy lately and haven't had the chance to come visit you. Please don't hold it against me, Teacher.

”I've also found my biological mother and rescued her…

”I'm doing very well now, don't worry about me, Teacher…

”…”

An Xiaoning briefly informed her teacher of the good news and things that had happened to her recently, making sure not to mention a word about the unfortunate incidents she had met with.

She decided to leave the mountains half an hour later.

Once she headed back inside her car, An Xiaoning recalled every decision she'd made ever since she was young and could not help but feel like everything seemed to be destined.

In fact, her fate and destiny had indeed already been arranged by Heaven beforehand.

How her life turns out would still ultimately depend on her.

If she lives life by following her heart, nothing should go wrong.

It was Saturday, the day Shi Shaochuan was supposed to look after Jin Bao'er. Thus, he showed up at Wei Ni Estate with a document in hand.

Staring at the document he handed her, Jin Qingyue asked coldly, ”What's this?”

”What else could it be? The letter of notice of a court trial sent by the courts. I'm delivering it to you personally,” Shi Shaochuan answered, appearing cool and collected.

Jin Qingyue took the document from him and flipped through a few pages. With a sullen expression on her face, she hissed, ”Shi Shaochuan, I'm not going to let you have the child.”

”That's not up to you to decide. I'll definitely get hold of the rights to her custody again,” he said arrogantly.

”Do you think I'll sit back and do nothing while you manipulate Bao'er into lying for the video that you uploaded online in order to tarnish my reputation? Shi Shaochuan, if you want to go against me, I'm all up for it. I still have the videos of you fooling around with women at nightclubs. Shall I spread them online too?” Jin Qingyue retorted with a humph.
