1209 I Want to Make You Stay 87 (1/2)
Jin Qingyan printed two copies of the agreement and walked toward her. ”Does that mean you chose to help her partly because of me?”
An Xiaoning wrapped her arms around his waist and said, ”She's your biological niece, so that makes her mine too. I'll take the money and save her and, at the same time, solve your sister's problem. That also means I'm saving the potential victims from her misdeeds. If she continues acting this way, I reckon Qingyue will have no choice but to resort to the last possible solution, and that is to lock Bao'er up like a prisoner. That'll prevent her from doing any shockingly horrifying deeds.”
Jin Qingyan lowered his head and kissed her hair. ”I know that as long as you've set your mind to it, you'll do whatever it takes to accomplish the task. You have my support.”
An Xiaoning looked up and said, ”The twin corpses that we found by the lake today turned out to still be alive…”
After explaining the situation to him in detail, she finally got to the main point.
”Mr. Gong mentioned that he wants me to be his granddaughter-in-law and introduce me to his grandson. What do you think of that?”
”How would you like me to think of it?” He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
Noticing that he was about to bring her inside, An Xiaoning frantically said, ”Bring this agreement downstairs. Qingyue and the rest are still waiting for us.”
”Let them continue waiting.” He then placed the document onto the table and pinned her down beneath him. Staring at An Xiaoning affectionately, he said, ”I think you're still hoping that I'll strip you down to nothing.”
An Xiaoning chuckled in amusement and said, ”Quit fooling around. Give me ten minutes. I'll go downstairs to hand this agreement to Qingyue. I'll be back soon.”
”Five minutes.”
”Fine, five minutes it is.”
He stood up while An Xiaoning got out of bed and headed downstairs with the document.
Noticing that Shi Bao'er was no longer in the living room, An Xiaoning asked, ”Where is she?”
”I got Fan Shixin to take her away.”
”Okay, here, have a look at it.”
After perusing the document together with Ling Ciye, Jin Qingyue said, ”No, the money is too little. Sis-in-law, I must give you 50 million dollars like I had promised earlier. This is a grave matter to me…”
An Xiaoning interrupted, ”I think 20 million dollars is good enough. At the end of the day, you're Qingyan's sister. Just give the money to me as a labor fee after everything is completed.”
”Sis-in-law… I'll pay you first, alright?”
”I haven't even started. It's not too late to pay me after everything is done. I'm not afraid that you won't pay up, so don't worry.”
Jin Qingyue chuckled and said, ”Alright, since you've said that, I'll give it to you in the future, Sis-in-law.”
Jin Qingyue stamped her thumbprint onto the agreement, and An Xiaoning kept one copy of it.
”You guys may go back and leave Bao'er here with us.”
”Okay.”
An Xiaoning left together with them. However, Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye walked toward the entrance while she headed to the guardroom.
Shi Bao'er was seated on the chair and snacking on some tidbits.
Standing by the door, An Xiaoning looked at Shi Bao'er and said, ”Your mommy has handed you over to me. From now onwards, you must listen to me and adhere to my instructions.”
Shi Bao'er flung the bag of tidbits in her hand onto the ground and sprung up from her seat. She glowered at her and yelled in exasperation, ”I don't want to obey you, I want to go home!”
”Go home?” An Xiaoning said to Fan Shixin, ”Lock her up in the basement where we once locked Xu Youran. I'll give you further instructions tomorrow morning.”
”Yes, Young Madam.”
