After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 144

"Your big brother won't get eaten, it's okay, Qingqing." An Jiuxi placed the sandalwood comb and ebony pen together and gently patted Chen Wanqing's little head.

Thinking about how I still need to settle my mother's ashes today.

The group went directly to the nearest cemetery in Xiaoshan.

After choosing a suitable burial site, An Jiuxi buried Shi Yao's ashes and bought offerings to pay her respects.

In a daze, she seemed to see a transparent figure appear behind the tombstone. The woman's gaze was gentle, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at her.

An Jiuxi froze, and subconsciously murmured, "Mother?"

The figure appeared for only a moment before disappearing into the light, making people think it was just their imagination!

"Xixi, your mother-in-law has been laid to rest. We can visit her often from now on." Jin Yize stepped forward and held the woman's small hand, the warmth of his palm passing into hers.

It seemed to be comforting her in her sorrow.

An Jiuxi slowly lowered her eyes, looking at the empty photo section on the tombstone, her eyes slightly red, "Mm."

Jin Yu, being a mother herself, couldn't bear to see such a scene. She stepped forward and hugged An Jiuxi to comfort her, saying, "If you're really upset, you can temporarily treat me as your mother. Cry if you want to."

The woman's words touched An Jiuxi's heartstrings, and her nose tingled, her eyes filling with tears.

With her vision blurring, tears rolled down her cheeks and landed hard on the back of Jin Yize's hand.

The heat made his heart ache, and he felt extremely distressed!

"It's alright, it's alright." Jin Yu sighed, patting the little girl's back, her gaze falling on the tombstone in front of her.

He secretly promised himself that he would treat An Jiuxi well.

It's unclear whether Jin Yu's imagination or her auditory hallucination was mistaken.

I felt like I heard a whisper in the air the moment she made that promise, as if she were saying thank you?

The group stayed at the cemetery for a while, and just as they were about to leave, Jin Yize's phone rang.

After hearing the words coming from inside, the group noticed that Jin Yize's gaze unconsciously fell on Chen Wanqing.

"Okay, let's go back right now."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Yize glanced at Qingqing playing in the spirit bubble. "The old man called and said that the Chen family came to our door. They heard from somewhere that we maliciously imprisoned their daughter's soul and they want an explanation."

Malice?

An Jiuxi narrowed her eyes, naturally feeling that this matter was not simple.

"Only the Chen family came?"

Jin Yu also frowned and asked, puzzled by the Chen family's sudden visit.

Their relationship with the Chen family is hardly good!

Now that the other party has come to our door demanding an explanation, things could easily escalate into a major conflict if we're not careful.

Jin Yize recalled the voice he had just heard on the phone and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. I guess the Chen family will bring someone who knows these things with them."

An Jiuxi's eyes lit up with amusement, and she seemed eager to return to the Jin family's old residence immediately.

After saying goodbye in front of the tombstone, the group quickly got into their car and headed towards the old house.

Meanwhile, inside the Jin family's old residence.

Mr. Chen sat on the sofa with a cold face, staring at Mr. Jin sitting opposite him with an unfriendly expression. He would occasionally reach out and pat his wife's hand, a hint of heartache in his eyes.
