The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 1214: I Want to Make You Stay (92)

Fang Erlan questioned, “Do you know how your father found out about your mother’s extramarital affair?”

“I don’t know.”

Indeed...

Fang Erlan heaved a sigh of relief, for her parents would be in danger if Fang Ruzhen were to find out.

Back then, Fang Ruzhen’s father was arrested and executed soon after he killed her mother.

“Actually, I wanted to question you long ago. Who told you to call my father? However, I haven’t had the chance to ask you. You must know who made you do it.”

“Of course I do, why else would I have done it, then? I can’t believe you’re actually blaming me for your mother’s death. The person who murdered your mother is your father. Your mother is the one who had committed adultery. Even if I didn’t call your father, do you really think he would have never found out about her affair? He’ll have found out sooner or later. Do you really think there would have been a change in the outcome?”

“Even if it’s only a matter of time before he found out, perhaps he wouldn’t have acted so rashly and my mother wouldn’t have died! Just who was the one who made you tell my father? If you tell me, we won’t ever meet again because of this issue,” Fang Ruzhen said menacingly.

“Does that mean... you’ll cause me even more trouble in the future if I don’t tell you?”

“I didn’t say that.”

“That’s what you’re implying. Your reason is not valid enough for me to not pursue this matter. Please leave.”

Fang Ruzhen panicked and said, “Erlan... can I swear to you? I promise I’ll never cause you any trouble from now on.”

“I trust the law more than I trust your words. I can’t take this stab for nothing,” Fang Erlan said with a mirthless smile.

“You... just what must I do for you to drop the matter?” asked Fang Ruzhen, who was growing increasingly flustered.

“There’s no need to negotiate, we won’t drop the matter,” Xiao Chenyang interjected.

“I wasn’t talking to you, why are you interrupting?” Fang Ruzhen asked in a high-pitched voice.

Fang Erlan immediately retorted, “He has voiced my thoughts exactly. So, there’s nothing else for us to talk about now. I’ve already recorded our conversation. We have more than enough evidence against you. You’d better know your limits.”

“Erlan, I was wrong to have done that. Could you take pity on me for becoming an orphan at a young age and forgive me just this once? Do you know how I managed to survive all these years? I had a tough life and I’ve been through all sorts of torment. I began working as an escort at a nightclub ever since a young age. Erlan, I can no longer conceive now. Just forgive me this once, I won’t do it again...”

Fang Erlan slipped into a dilemma. However, she soon made up her mind.

“Like I said, we’re not going to drop the matter. Are you deaf?”Xiao Chenyang gibed, glowering at her with his hands in his pocket.

“Erlan... I’m begging you, let me off this time, okay?” Fang Ruzhen pleaded while kneeling on the ground beside the bed. Fang Erlan could not help but feel a little upset.

“Have you ever thought of sparing my life when you hired someone to kill me? You’re terrified now that you’ve been exposed. Don’t you think it’s all too late now?” Fang Erlan questioned with tears in her eyes.

“Are you really not willing to give me another chance?” Fang Ruzhen asked. She got up onto her feet and glared at Fang Erlan menacingly.

At this moment, Fang Erlan’s inner voice spoke to her, If you show mercy to the person who tried to harm you, you’re simply telling them that they’re allowed to harm you again.

Besides, Fang Ruzhen is single and all by herself now. She would definitely come after me again and do everything it takes to find out who had made me call her father back then.

Although Fang Erlan was not close to her parents, she still did not wish for them to land in the hands of the vicious Fang Ruzhen.

“Yes, I’m not going to.”

As soon as Fang Erlan finished speaking, Fang Ruzhen began trembling vigorously from head to toe, as if she was having a fit. She took out a small dagger from her pocket and began charging toward Fang Erlan.

Xiao Chenyang leaped up and grabbed Fang Ruzhen by her long locks, causing her to fall onto the ground. He then grabbed her wrists tightly and snatched the dagger away from her.

Fang Erlan snapped back to reality and immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, they submitted the two voice recordings, after which Fang Ruzhen was arrested. According to the police, Fang Ruzhen had acted that way because she was experiencing withdrawal symptoms from her drug addiction.

“Were you frightened?”

Shaking her head, Fang Erlan grabbed his hand and said, “I was just a little shocked. However, I wasn’t frightened because you’re around. By the way, the television series...”

“I’ve already spoken to An Xiaoning and she’ll see to it. The production team will definitely film the other parts of the television series that involves the other actors and actresses. You’ll resume filming once your wounds are fully healed. On top of that, I’m not going to allow anyone to disturb you in the next week, including your parents.”

“Alright. When my parents returned home from the county back then, my mother was the one who made me call Fang Ruzhen’s father. My mother must have seen Fang Ruzhen’s mother in the county because they work in the same company... The case of her father murdering her mother was pretty horrifying. All the other villagers were discussing about it fervently too,” said Fang Erlan, who was in low spirits.

“Your parents are still the same as they used to be in your previous lifetime. They’re good for nothing. Back in our previous lifetime, your parents sold you to my family because they needed money for your brother’s marriage. Parents were not supposed to contact their children anymore after selling them away. However, they repeatedly looked you up to ask you for money, and they didn’t even come to visit you when you passed away,” Xiao Chenyang explained.

Fang Erlan hung her head low, feeling extremely morose and agonized.

——

Even after finishing her book, An Xiaoning could still hear the sounds of Shi Bao’er wailing and throwing a tantrum.

However, her voice had grown fainter compared to a few hours before.

She was out of energy.

Time for me to check on her.

She headed to the man-made snake farm on her own.

Truth be told, An Xiaoning detested snakes, and she would get the chills whenever she saw those boneless creatures slithering.

However, they were just what she needed to subdue Shi Bao’er.

Feeling tense and nervous, she entered the farm and could hear the sounds of snakes hissing and slithering. She then made her way to the room wherein Shi Bao’er was detained.

It was a large and spacious room that had a low ceiling. It had a height of less than three meters.

There were planks of wood that were used as a partition. An Xiaoning peeked inside to see that there were several snakes intertwined around each other.

Shi Bao’er was sitting on a pillar, remaining as still as a statue. She had not dared to move an inch at all throughout the entire afternoon.
