Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Doting

This recording, which can prove that An Muxin and An Baoying conspired to harm Mrs. Huo, was something An Ge had considered playing for Huo Shaoyan.

But Huo Shaoyan’s attitude had utterly disappointed her, so An Ge didn’t trust him and kept the evidence until now.

Besides, with advanced artificial intelligence nowadays, audio can easily be synthesized by AI.

Even if she played the recording, it would just be dismissed as AI-generated.

However, the An Family’s guilty conscience and her words ultimately made Mrs. An realize the gravity of the situation.

For the honor of the entire An Family, Mrs. An sharply scolded An Muxin in a cold voice:

"You brainless fool! You’ve caused this catastrophic trouble, and you’re still not kneeling down to apologize? Are you waiting for me to break your legs?"

Even though An Muxin didn’t want to kneel to An Ge, she had no other choice now.

She stepped forward, fell to her knees with a loud thud before An Ge’s hospital bed, and knocked her head on the ground three times.

Her attitude could not have been more sincere.

She choked on her words as though genuinely remorseful,

"I... I’m sorry. I truly am... It’s just that I love Brother Yan too much. I was pregnant with his child, but you took away the father of my child. I... I lost my mind and did everything I could to stop Brother Yan from recognizing your children.

I beg you; please forgive me this one time. I promise that from today on, I will disappear from your life. Not only that, but I will also provide serums for Huai Shang’s treatment unconditionally..."

An Muxin cried and spoke at length, barely catching her breath between sobs.

She seemed as if she wouldn’t stop kneeling unless An Ge forgave her.

But An Ge had no reaction.

An Jifeng, unable to bear An Muxin’s suffering, spoke up for her, saying:

"Mrs. Huo, Xinxin has already knelt and kowtowed to you as you demanded, and she’s even willing to provide serum for your son’s treatment without any conditions. Can’t you let bygones be bygones now?"

Still, An Ge didn’t speak.

Her unwavering gaze fixated on An Muxin, and in her mind, she replayed the call they had before the incident.

In that call, An Muxin had told her she possessed a jade pendant tied to her identity.

Thinking of this, An Ge finally spoke, addressing An Muxin:

"Before the incident, you mentioned over the phone that you got a jade pendant from An Baoying that was related to the mystery of my origins. Where is that jade pendant?"

An Muxin would rather skin An Ge alive, tear her apart, and feed her to the dogs than hand over the jade pendant that might prove An Ge was Qin Xiaoqi.

So, An Muxin feigned ignorance and said, "What jade pendant? I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

An Ge hadn’t recorded her and An Muxin’s phone conversation before the incident.

So, faced with An Muxin’s pretense, An Ge felt somewhat at a loss.

She said nothing further.

An Muxin suddenly acted as if she’d had a revelation and said,

"Oh, I remember now. The jade pendant you’re talking about—I’ve never seen it. I only heard An Baoying mention something about it. Thinking it might relate to your origins, I lied to you about it over the phone... In short, I’ve never seen that jade pendant."

An Baoying was already dead.

An Muxin’s flat-out denial left no way to prove otherwise.

An Ge realized she couldn’t pry open An Muxin’s mouth, so she had to give up for now.

Seeing she no longer pursued the pendant, An Muxin breathed a sigh of relief.

What luck—if An Ge stopped asking about the jade pendant, then it would forever belong to her.

If Huo Shaoyan remained cold and heartless toward her, could she reconstruct herself to look like Qin Xiaoqi, make a comeback, and exact vengeance?

The thought thrilled An Muxin, though not a trace of it showed on her face.

Mr. An’s trip to Jingcheng had a clear purpose: to turn big issues into small ones and small issues into no issues at all.

Thus, at that moment, he spoke to An Ge:

"Xinxin has already knelt and apologized to you. Now, I ask that you delete the recordings and such. I hope this matter ends here, today, in this hospital room."

He paused momentarily and added meaningfully,

"If this matter ever comes to light in the future, don’t blame this old woman for turning on you!"

Five minutes later, An Muxin, Mr. An, and An Jifeng left the hospital room.

While downstairs, An Muxin excused herself under the pretense of needing the restroom and called An Ge.

Since the only evidence that could prove An Ge’s mysterious origins—the jade pendant—was in An Muxin’s possession, An Ge didn’t hang up on her.

Not only that, but An Ge quickly picked up the call.

As soon as the call connected, a voice that starkly contrasted An Muxin’s earlier apologetic tone came through.

She sneered and mocked An Ge, "An Ge, while I lost this round, you didn’t win easily either, did you?"

After she finished, An Ge simply asked, "So, what is it? What exactly do you want to say?"

An Muxin curled her lips into a cold smile and said,

"I just wanted to tell you, no matter what colossal disaster I cause, my family will always cover for me. You won’t be able to even scratch me."

She paused.

"Oh, and Brother Yan may be furious, but deep down, he still has lingering feelings for me. He could never truly be so heartless toward me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed me to keep his child."

In truth, Huo Shaoyan had explicitly demanded that An Muxin abort the child. But to plant a thorn in An Ge’s heart, An Muxin deliberately lied.

An Ge said nothing in response. Her silence only affirmed An Muxin’s success in driving the thorn deeper.

An Muxin smiled and continued, "An Ge, the days ahead are still long. Take care of yourself."

An Muxin hung up the call after that.

She then called Lee Dahai.

At that moment, Lee Dahai was inside Bai Meilan’s hospital room.

Bai Meilan had regained consciousness that morning, but she was extremely weak and unable to move.

Bai Meilan was still in the dark about An Baoying’s fatal fall from the building.

When she saw Lee Dahai’s phone display An Muxin’s name as the caller ID, her brows furrowed in confusion.

She asked Lee Dahai, who was stepping out of the bathroom, "Since when did you start staying in touch with that vicious woman, An Muxin?"

Lee Dahai dared not yet bring up An Baoying’s death to Bai Meilan.

Fearful of shocking her, he replied,

"A lot has happened while you were unconscious. That woman An Ge and Huo Shaoyan got remarried. An Muxin is consumed with hatred for An Ge and tried bribing me to do her bidding... I’ve been short on money for your treatment, so I’ve kept some level of contact with her."

Bai Meilan, still weak from awakening, only wanted to recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible, even though she despised An Ge deeply.

With revenge deferred, she warned Lee Dahai:

"An Muxin is ruthless. Her favorite game is using others as knives. Be vigilant when dealing with her and don’t lose your life because of her."

She paused, "Baoying and I still need you with us for the rest of your life."

The mention of An Baoying made Lee Dahai’s eyes redden.

Suppressing his tears, he said,

"I know. You rest well. I’ll take this call from An Muxin to see if I can squeeze some money out of her."

Bai Meilan hummed in agreement, and Lee Dahai stepped out of the room with his phone.

Once outside, Lee Dahai’s expression turned icy as he coldly asked, "What do you want?"

An Muxin, already aware that Bai Meilan had regained consciousness, cut straight to the chase:

"I hear Bai Meilan’s awake, but her recovery costs are exorbitant. And since you’ve already spent a fortune on her treatment,

you must be running on empty now. If you’ve lost your daughter and your beloved woman also passes away, would you still want to live?"

Lee Dahai found a staircase, lit a cigarette, and replied with a cold, deep voice, "What do you want from me?"

This was exactly the opening An Muxin had been waiting for. She said,

"Kill An Ge for me, and I’ll give you more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime. If the police catch you for killing An Ge, at least your beloved Bai Meilan will live the rest of her life in luxury. Isn’t that right?"

She paused and hinted menacingly,

"Don’t forget. Bai Meilan was involved in the attempted murder case of An Ge’s foster mother, Ms. Wen. Now that she’s awake, even if you can afford her treatment, the police will arrest her anyway.

So, let’s work together. I’ll give you a huge sum of money right now to help Bai Meilan flee abroad. But, after she’s settled, I want you to kill that bitch An Ge for me."

The cigarette burned quickly to its end.

Lee Dahai lit another one.

After taking a long drag, he exhaled and said coldly, "Give me twenty million, and my life is yours!"

...

Meanwhile.

Inside An Ge’s hospital room.

Shortly after her call with An Muxin ended, An Ge received a call from Gu Changfeng.

There were feelings between An Ge and Gu Changfeng that were unclear, hard to define.

So she quickly answered his call.

Her voice was weak and hoarse, "Hello?"

At that moment, Gu Changfeng was in the underground city.

In his hand, he held a gun, polished to a shine. From ten meters away, the gun was trained on the head of the human target on the bullseye. The moment he pulled the trigger, the head would explode.

Yet the soft voice of a woman made him pause and lower his gun.

He put it down and focused on the phone call. "Ms. An, I heard you’re not doing well lately?"

An Ge replied, "Not so great, yes. So, why is Mr. Gu calling me?"

Leaving the underground city’s black chamber, Gu Changfeng replied indifferently,

"You once said you could cure the birthmark on my face. So, when would be a good time for us to discuss this?"

Since that morning, Huo Shaoyan had secretly stationed people to keep a tight watch on An Ge’s hospital room. Acting like a thief climbing through her window to visit her was no longer feasible for Gu Changfeng.

However, he couldn’t set his mind at ease about An Ge and had to find a proper excuse to meet her.

An Ge had always been curious about Gu Changfeng’s identity, especially after hearing Gu Ru Yi mention that the Qin Family’s Sixth Brother, Qin Jing, had a crescent-shaped birthmark on his waist. This only made her more eager to verify if Gu Changfeng might indeed be Qin Jingzhi.

So, the moment Gu Changfeng finished speaking, she responded,

"I’m available right now." She paused, then softened her voice, suppressing her urgency to ask, "Will you be coming now?"

Gu Changfeng smirked faintly and smiled silently before replying, "You called me Mr. Gu just now. That’s upset me a little."

An Ge swallowed hard and stammered, "Big...Big Brother Six?"

Gu Changfeng’s mood visibly improved as he softly responded with an indulgent, "Good girl."
