Chapter 1208: I Want to Make You Stay (86)

One of the team members ran to her and exclaimed, “Ms. An, the other Ms. Gong has come to.”

Upon hearing his words, Mr. Gong immediately walked toward his own car and said to An Xiaoning, “Ms. An, you must wait for my news. I must reward you handsomely as a token of gratitude!”

“You really don’t have to, Mr. Gong.”

“I must, I must.”

“…”

An Xiaoning watched as Mr. Gong and his bodyguards got inside the black limousine, which soon vanished out of sight.

Wang Jinsheng said while smiling, “Ms. An, this elderly man is so interesting. It’s been hard on you tonight. Go back and get some rest.”

“I’ll hand the rest to you guys, then. You can only stop once you’ve confirmed that there are no longer any other coffins.”

“I know, rest assured.”

An Xiaoning expressed assent and turned around to run toward the red Ferrari.

She opened the door and got inside the car. She handed the umbrella to Wang Jinsheng and said, “Call me if there are any changes to the situation.”

“Alright, drive safely, Ms. An.”

“Yes.”

She closed the car door and swiftly turned the car around.

The rain was initially rather light. However, it grew heavier when they arrived in Wei Ni Estate.

She parked the car inside the garage and alighted to see that Fan Shixin was already waiting for her with an umbrella.

She grabbed the umbrella and opened it. “Has Qingyue arrived?”

“Missy, Mr. Ling, and Bao’er are all inside.”

“Is there anyone else?”

“Mr. and Mrs. Long too.”

“Are they organizing a meeting?” she jested with a smile.

Fan Shixin caught up with her and said, “Young Madam, this is going to be cumbersome.”

“I know, but I’m just going to give it a try. I’ll put an end to it once I realize that it doesn’t work. No one can be a hundred percent confident in taking a child like her in hand,” said An Xiaoning, who knew what he was worried about.

They arrived under the shelter. An Xiaoning put the umbrella inside the umbrella rack and entered the mansion to change into her home slippers.

“Sis-in-law, you’re back,” Long Tianze said with a whistle.

An Xiaoning smiled and asked, “Have you guys eaten yet?”

“Yes.”

“Well, I haven’t had my dinner yet. I’ll eat something first,” An Xiaoning said while walking toward the dining table. Auntie Chen and the rest of the servants then served the dishes to her.

To An Xiaoning, a plate of prawns and half a bowl of rice were enough to make up a meal.

Long Tianze leaned forward and asked softly, “Sis-in-law, do you really want to take Bao’er under your care?”

“I’ll just give it a try.”

Long Tianze watched as she put on a pair of disposable gloves and peeled some prawns for herself, which she then placed on top of her rice before taking off the gloves again. She then picked up her chopsticks and stirred the soup in her bowl. He smiled and asked, “Sis-in-law, are you going to drink the soup too?”

An Xiaoning glared at him and said, “What do you know? The point of eating this rice is just so it can go well with the soup. A wealthy man’s son like you who has been living in the lap of luxury ever since you were born definitely hasn’t tried this before.”

Noticing how much she was enjoying the food, Long Tianze said, “Yangyang is just like you… is it really that delicious?”

“Would you like to give it a try? These prawns that Auntie Chen had made are superb and irresistible. All the flavor is inside the soup.”

“Nah.”

An Xiaoning chuckled and thought to herself, This is way better compared to the food I used to have when I lived on the mountains with Master. We used to have a vegetarian diet all year round.

Having had her fill, she wiped her mouth and walked toward the rest of them. She shifted her gaze onto the young and innocent-looking Shi Bao’er, who did not seem like she would be capable of such terrifying and horrid acts.

“When was Bao’er born?”

“On the 20th of this month.”

An Xiaoning leaned against the couch and said, “Yiheng was born on the 15th of July. Bao’er, you’re about half a year older than Yiheng. You’ll be turning eight years old soon. Children your age are usually innocent and harmless little angels. Bao’er, are you your mommy’s little angel?”

“How is that any of your business?” Shi Bao’er blurted.

“Is that how you should be talking to your aunt!?! Where are your manners?” Jin Qingyue rebuked.

An Xiaoning said nonchalantly, “Qingyue, how could you expect her to have manners when she’s already brazen enough to murder someone?”

Jin Qingyue let out a sigh. Before she even responded, Shi Bao’er retorted, “I didn’t murder anyone!”

“You didn’t? Why don’t I re-enact everything that you had done to your Auntie Wen on you? What do you say, Bao’er?” said An Xiaoning.

Shi Bao’er glared at her dauntlessly and yelled, “What right do you have to re-enact it on me!?!”

“What right do you have to set someone else on fire, then? At the start, I really didn’t want to discipline such a devilish child like you. I only promised your mommy that I would give it a try. However, I’ve now changed my mind. Shi Bao’er, aren’t you ill-tempered, full of funny tricks, and completely fearless? I shall see if that’s really what you’re made of,” An Xiaoning said with a smirk, keeping her eyes fixed on her.

Feeling a little intimidated by her smirk, Shi Bao’er said, “Who said you could discipline me? I’m not going to let you do so! I refuse!”

“That’s not up to you to decide.” An Xiaoning stood up and said, “I’m going upstairs.”

Jin Qingyan grabbed her arm and asked, “Upstairs? What for?”

“I’m going to go to your study to type and print out an agreement,” An Xiaoning answered.

“I’ll go with you,” said Jin Qingyan, who stood up and followed her upstairs.

Once they entered the study, he switched on the computer and printer. “Have you really considered it carefully?”

“Yes, I have. Qingyan, don’t you find the look in Shi Bao’er’s eyes a little terrifying?” An Xiaoning asked, leaning against the bookshelf.

“I didn’t notice.”

“If we don’t take her in hand and discipline her strictly, who knows what she might end up doing in the future? She might just cause harm to many other innocent people. Hence, I’ve decided that I must subdue her and make her stop trying to harm others.”

“So… what do you want the content of your agreement to include?”

“Three terms. Firstly, from today onwards, I’ll be in charge of discipling Shi Bao’er and no one is to intervene with or stop me from doing whatever I do to her.”

“What’s next?” asked Jin Qingyan, who was furiously typing away on the keyboard.

“Secondly, Qingyue is not allowed to visit Shi Bao’er throughout the duration of my care, regardless of how long it may be. She can only see her when I send Shi Bao’er back to her, after I’ve decided that she’s turned over a new leaf. Didn’t Shi Shaochuan already return the custody to her? He’ll stay out of this, then. I believe he doesn’t want to see Shi Bao’er either.”

“And the third?”

“Qingyue is to pay me 20 million dollars in return.”

“She wanted to give you 50 million.”

“There’s no need for that much. Twenty million dollars is more than enough. I’m not a hundred percent sure that I can change Shi Bao’er, but I do have quite a bit of confidence. I think it’s a rather meaningful task. Besides, Bao’er is your niece too,” An Xiaoning said truthfully.
