Chapter 898: A-Jin: "You’ve Gotten Bold!

Last night, when they said goodbye at the door, Gu Jin clearly saw the exhaustion and fatigue on An Mingji’s face, as well as his swollen and red eyes.

She walked out of her room, went to the door of the next room, and knocked on the door.

The door opened automatically in the next moment.

She glanced inside and found the bed very tidy, thinking that An Mingji had already gotten up.

Gu Jin took a bottle of medicine to the Gu Family’s courtyard and saw the butler standing at the door.

She walked up and asked, "Where’s Xiao An? Why is he up so early?"

The butler’s eyes were red: "Miss Gu, the Young Master didn’t sleep all night, got up in the middle of the night and went up the mountain, came back just now, and went out again."

"..." Gu Jin clenched the medicine bottle in her hand.

He actually didn’t sleep all night.

She hadn’t noticed at all.

It’s truly both infuriating and distressing. If this continues, even with cultivation, Xiao An will harm his health.

Gu Jin rubbed her fingertips, took a deep breath, and asked, "Do you know which direction he went?"

The butler pointed her in a direction.

Gu Jin headed straight in that direction.

Along the way, she encountered many villagers. Based on the information she obtained from them, Gu Jin learned that Xiao An had gone to the An Family.

From the villagers’ words, she also learned one thing: An Hanyi had died.

He was killed by his wife, Li Xueqin, with her own hands.

An Hanyi somehow suddenly became lame, and even his arm was disabled, lying in bed all day, relying on his wife and children’s care to survive.

Even though he was bedridden, he still controlled his wife and children because he had money.

Unfortunately, he was too confident.

After becoming lame and breaking his arm, he became sinister and cruel, torturing others too much.

Li Xueqin had enough, and after finding the money he had hidden, she killed him in a moment of impulsiveness.

Murder is illegal. Li Xueqin wanted to escape but was caught by the villagers and was directly bound and sent to the police.

She was locked up, and news came in recent days that she seemed to be facing execution.

As for their only son, An Guoliang, he had long been ruined, living at home like a pig, eating and waiting for death.

Their daughter, An Jiayue, was previously engaged to He Jiaxing, the grandson of the village chief of Qingshan Village.

After their family got into trouble, the village chief’s family naturally didn’t dare to agree to the marriage. They didn’t go to the An Family to ask for the betrothal gifts but even gave them another gift as compensation for breaking the engagement.

A few days ago, An Jiayue married an old widower from another village.

The An Family was completely ruined.

Gu Jin strode towards the An Family. Just as she was about to reach there, she saw An Mingji and Allen walking in her direction.

The young man’s eyes appeared even more swollen and red than yesterday. His face was filled with exhaustion, deep sorrow, a pale complexion, and dark circles under his eyes, a clear sign of a sleepless night.

Gu Jin quickly walked up and glared at An Mingji.

She said angrily, "You’ve really got some nerve now!"

"I was wrong!"

An Mingji admitted it readily, habitually acknowledging his mistake first.

As long as Ah Jin was angry, he knew it was never wrong to admit it proactively.

Gu Jin squinted her eyes, staring at An Mingji’s insincere face, and asked angrily, "What did you do wrong?"

The young man looked confused, opened his mouth but didn’t know how to answer; he didn’t know what exactly he did wrong.

Seeing the innocent look on the young man’s face, Gu Jin’s anger slowly dissipated, though her worry did not lessen.

She opened the ointment in her hand, scooped some out with her fingers, and gently applied it around An Mingji’s swollen, bluish eyes.
