"Trust me, you are helping Ye Jingjing, not harming her," An Nuan persuaded again.
Qin Qin didn't dare nod.
But she didn't dare refuse either.
She just looked at An Nuan, still unable to make up her mind.
"Actually, you don't have a choice," An Nuan said. "The fact that you killed Pan Mila is obvious. First, Pan Mila didn't accidentally fall into the swimming pool and die. Not to mention cats are naturally born being able to swim, even if living in captivity made Pan Mila lose that ability, once Pan Mila fell into the water, it would definitely make a huge noise. But the Ye family villa has security patrolling 24 hours a day, and no one discovered Pan Mila falling into the water. The only possibility is that someone killed her and then directly threw her into the water."
"Second, since it’s impossible for Pan Mila to have drowned, then it must be murder. Murder that was done without making a single sound or letting Pan Mila cry for help before dying can only mean that Pan Mila was killed by someone she trusted. Because she wouldn't resist that person's approach, so she wouldn't call out. And of all the servants in the villa and even the Ye family members, everyone should know clearly that other than Ye Jingjing, the only person Pan Mila was close with was you."
"Ye Jingjing certainly wouldn't have killed Pan Mila herself, so the only other person left is you," An Nuan said bluntly. "This is also why I knew from the start that Pan Mila was killed by you, which is why I had Xiao Chun accompany me to get you to reveal yourself."
Qin Qin was suddenly stunned. She stared at An Nuan wide-eyed again. "That cat's meow from earlier wasn't my delusion, it was..."
"Yes, it was deliberately played by me and Xiao Chun for you to hear," An Nuan admitted.
Qin Qin stared straight at An Nuan.
She seemed not to have expected to be suspected so quickly, and even tricked.
She had thought all along that she had hidden it very well, and had already fooled the young missus.
"Of course, the reasoning I just gave doesn't matter that much. After all, it was just my one-sided words, and can't have much legal effect. If you don't want to betray your so-called young lady, I won't make it difficult for you either. But there is one thing I want to remind you. North Wen Country has a law to protect pets. It clearly states that if any animal registered as a pet encounters abuse, it will be subject to the penalties in the pet protection law, with imprisonment up to 3 years maximum! I assume Pan Mila's pet ID was processed, right? Now that it has been harmed, it falls under the pet protection law. I won't pursue it if we just let it go, but if I really pursue it..." An Nuan's eyes tightened. "Going to jail would be unavoidable."
"No, I can't go to jail, I can't!" Qin Qin was instantly agitated. "My brother studies law. Once I go to jail, it will affect my brother's future. I can't leave a criminal record for my brother, I can't..."
"So like I said, you don't have a choice," An Nuan still didn't have much emotion towards Qin Qin's breakdown. "This matter shouldn't blame you originally, but if you insist on concealing the truth, you can only bear the consequences yourself. If you don't want to bear them, the best way is to reveal the whole truth."
"I promise you," Qin Qin nodded heavily.
Under the young missus's coercion, she simply had no choice.
Besides.
The young missus was right.
It was wrong for the young lady to like the young master.
She should let the master and mistress know about this matter to put a stop to it.
"Good," An Nuan also didn't have too much excitement at Qin Qin's agreement.
As if everything was under her control.
So effortless, it made Qin Qin have to admire her.
She always felt the young lady was already very smart, smart enough to make everyone listen to her, to get everyone's attention, and even in the past matter of bullying Miss Tong, it was to make Miss Tong resentful but could only swallow her anger.
This time the young lady dealing with the young missus, she also felt would be effortless.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, the young missus seemed to be the kind of person who wouldn't pursue matters if you don't provoke her.
Sure enough.
If you walk the streets at night long enough, you're bound to run into ghosts someday.
The young lady had finally met someone more capable than herself.
She should know that in this house, besides her who personally took care of the young lady, no one else including the young lady's parents knew what kind of person the young lady really was!
Yet the young missus saw through the young lady's disguises in half a day.
The young missus really wasn't simple!
...
After agreeing with Qin Qin, An Nuan returned to Ye Jinghuai's bedroom.
She had intended to wait for the Ye family to return, but at that moment she suddenly received a call from Yun Yu Qing.
She said, "Nuan Nuan, the doctor said Jingjing is fine now, and we'll be back soon too. I heard from the servants that you're still at home, so I wanted to say..."
"Mom, come back, don't worry. I won't let Jingjing see me," said An Nuan.
"Nuan Nuan, your mom has made it difficult for you," Yun Yu Qing felt very guilty.
"It's fine. I understand mom's difficulties. If it were me, I would do the same," said An Nuan.
"It's good that you understand. After Jingjing calms down, I will resolve things between you and Jingjing," said Yun Yu Qing.
Yun Yu Qing said some more reassuring words to An Nuan before they ended the call.
After ending the call, An Nuan didn't leave.
She had only promised not to see Ye Jingjing, but she hadn't promised to leave the Ye family villa.
Without exposing that wretched Ye Jingjing, how could she leave so easily?
So she just lay there on the sofa in the room.
Until the room door was pushed open.
Ye Jinghuai looked at her still in the room, and was surprised for a second.
He said, "I thought you had run away with your tail between your legs."
His tone was clearly still mocking.
An Nuan glanced at Ye Jinghuai. "You were hoping I'd run away, right? So as not to provoke your family's little ancestor."
Her words inevitably contained some sarcasm.
Ye Jingjing was probably spoiled by the Ye family beyond being unreasonable.
When she had lain idle on the sofa just now, she had also carefully considered the Ye family.
Although she hadn't interacted with them for long, and had little contact in her previous life, just from the brief time together, it seemed that besides Ye Jingjing, the Ye family were quite loving towards each other without much intrigue. They had also sincerely hosted her, and she was even somewhat relieved that they were completely different from the Gu family.
Yet still, there was the twisted personality of Ye Jingjing existing.
An Nuan secretly pondered.
In that moment, her body suddenly tensed up.
She looked warily at Ye Jinghuai who had suddenly gotten close before her.
She had clearly been lying on the sofa by herself, so what was Ye Jinghuai doing coming over!
Just as she was about to resist,
she heard Ye Jinghuai's incredibly magnetic voice say, "I've only ever had one little ancestor, no one else."
