The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1391: I Only Want You (89)

“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.

Su Yan drove Jing Chu and Fat Lass to the women’s prison.

Jing Chu and Fat Lass waited outside the entrance under an umbrella while Su Yan waited in the car with Su Nainai.

Two minutes later, the door opened.

Qiao An exited with her belongings.

Jing Chu and Fat Lass rushed forward to hug her.

Fat Lass grabbed the belongings from her hands while Jing Chu sheltered her with the umbrella.

“Why are you guys here?” Qiao An asked in surprise.

“We’re here to welcome you out of prison. We wouldn’t have been able to come if Mr. Su didn’t drive us here,” Jing Chu said with a smile.

“Mr. Su? Which Mr. Su?”

“You’ll know once we get inside the car. It’s pouring heavily, let’s go inside.”

Qiao An did not think much of it and instead followed Jing Chu into the car. Fat Lass helped place her suitcase inside the trunk of the car.

Jing Chu carried Su Nainai in her arms, after which Qiao An asked, “Who does this child belong to?”

“Mr. Su.”

Qiao An turned to look at the man in the driver’s seat. Upon the sight of his features, Qiao An turned pale immediately. “Why are you here?” she asked in shock.

Su Yan stared at her and said, “Long time no see, Qiao An.”

“Long time no see. You’re blessed to have such a pretty daughter.”

He kept quiet and drove away.

During the journey home, Qiao An learned that Jing Chu and Fat Lass were working for Su Yan.

Su Yan was one of the three people whom she dreaded seeing the most, apart from her mother and ex-husband.

Upon seeing Su Yan, she felt as if her wounds had been reopened again. Despite the fact that several years had already passed, she would still feel miserable whenever she got reminded of him.

There was a drastic difference in their appearances.

He was a year older than her, and yet he appeared much younger in his immaculate suit. He was handsome and charming.

On the other hand, she seemed to be perpetually drained ever since her downfall. She was distressed, out of sorts, and had lost all hope in life. She had already cried countless times during her first year of imprisonment.

She appeared worn out and haggard, a far cry from him.

The car was being driven toward the Su family mansion. Halfway through the journey, Qiao An said, “Please pull over. I want to alight from the car.”

Knowing that she had nowhere to go, Su Yan said, “Come to my place first.”

“It’s... it’s alright,” she said in refusal.

“Your mother had already taken all your money and property. Where can you go now? Have your relatives ever visited you in prison? Stop putting on a strong front.”

Jing Chu held Qiao An’s hand and said, “Sis Qiao An, Mr. Su is a nice man. Just settle down in his place before making further plans.”

Qiao An knew clearly what kind of a person Su Yan was.

However, she really had nowhere to go.

Su Yan kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and focused on driving.

They arrived at the garage of the Su family mansion.

Jing Chu alighted from the car with Su Nainai in her arms, followed by Fat Lass. However, both Su Yan and Qiao An remained still.

“Do you find it amusing that my life has been reduced to such a pathetic state?”

Su Yan looked at her and said, “It’s very amusing, indeed. I thought that you’d end up with a brilliant man after breaking up with me. Turns out, I thought wrong.”

“You’re divorced too. How are you any better than me?”

“Seems like you’ve been paying attention to the news about me even while you’re in prison.”
