Chapter 1391 - I Only Want You (1/2)

“Did you look her up again?”

He answered in denial, “No, I don’t want to upset you.”

“Do you really fancy her that much?” Mrs. Pei asked while staring at him.

“Let’s not talk about her,” said Pei Yi.

“Do you really think I can’t tell?” Mrs. Pei sighed and continued, “I’m not blind. I can tell.”

Pei Yi thought that his mother had already decided to give in. Just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Pei’s words shut him up again.

“She’s so much younger than you and she’s really beautiful too. Pei Yi, do you really think she’d be true to you? Besides, she definitely wouldn’t want to see you now, especially since she was imprisoned for two years. You and Tian Tian already have a son together too. Just continue living peacefully with her. I know you don’t fancy Tian Tian much but I know that she’s truly devoted to you.”

Pei Yi nodded and remained silent, not wanting to agitate his sickly mother. He wanted her to die peacefully with no regrets.

“When is Sis Qiao An going to be released from prison?”

Jing Chu answered, “Soon, I suppose. She had already been in jail for a year when we went in. Her jail term should be over too. It’s been hard on her. We must go and pick her up on the day of her release.”

“Sure. Sis Qiao An’s husband and mother are such scumbags.”

“Were you guys… talking about Qiao An?” Su Yan asked upon overhearing their conversation.

Jing Chu asked in surprise, “Mr. Su, do you know her?”

Su Yan asked, “I don’t know if I’m thinking about the wrong person, but were you referring to Qiao An, the daughter of the Qiao Corporation?”

Jing Chu nodded and said, “Yes, it’s her. I’ve heard her mention it before.”

Su Yan said, “I do know her, then.”

Jing Chu asked curiously, “Do you merely know of her existence or do you know her personally?”

“I know her personally.”

“Ms. Qiao went to jail because she was framed and maligned, just like me and Fat Lass. Mr. Su, are you bothered by the fact that we’re ex-convicts?” Jing Chu said truthfully.

“I know you’ve been to jail before, but I believe you’re good-natured.”

Jing Chu decided to explain the situation to him briefly because she felt the need to make a clarification.

Su Yan was astonished to hear what happened to her. Staring at her with a look of sympathy in his eyes, he said, “I believe everything that you said, just like how I believe that Qiao An was wrongly accused. She doesn’t even dare to kill a fish. How could she have had the audacity to commit murder?”

He then teased Su Nainai, who was in Jing Chu’s embrace, before leaving.

“Sis Jing Chu, why does it seem like Mr. Su is very close to Sis Qiao An?”

“I had that feeling too.”

In fact, Su Yan used to be in a relationship with Qiao An, and they were each other’s first love. However, they broke up later and each had their own family.

Unfortunately, they did not have blissful marriages.

They both ended up in a divorce.

Qiao An signed the divorce papers when her father and mother put her behind bars.

Su Yan could have saved her at first. However, he did not do so because he wanted her to have a taste of the hopelessness he had felt back then.

He was completely distraught when she broke up with him and aborted their child back then.

She would be released from prison soon after a three-year jail term.

So what if she’s to be released from prison? He knew that she had nothing to her name because her mother had already transferred all the assets and money under her name away from her account, leaving her without a single cent. The wealthy man’s daughter, Qiao An, is now a nobody.

Can she actually get used to living in poverty?

I shall see.

Qiao An was released from prison two weeks later.

The weather was gloomy and pouring.
