Chapter 375 - 375 361 my master also has a pocket watch (1)_1

Chapter 375: 361, my master also has a pocket watch (1)_1 Chapter 375: 361, my master also has a pocket watch (1)_1 An Chong nodded, then went on, “The doctor said she has suffered a head injury and on top of that, she was submerged in the sea, resulting in memory loss. Your mother can’t remember anything, so I gave her a name, Yun Xi. Even though she had amnesia, I could tell from her graceful manner that her background must not be simple. She woke up and after a few days of recuperation, she wanted to leave. Out of selfishness, I did not want her to leave like this and used the fact that I saved her life as a condition to ask her to stay with me for two years. She agreed because of her gratitude for saving her life.”

He named her Yun Xi, because she was like a misty cloud, elusive and unfathomable, as if she would disappear from his world at any time. Moreover, he saved her from the sea, hence the name.

“There’s one question I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time, what is your mother’s real name?” He never got to possess the woman who was as pure as a lotus, but he didn’t want her to completely disappear from his world. At least, knowing her real name would be good.

“You’re not worthy to know my mother’s name.” The hint of coldness in Jian Qing’s gaze deepened as her eyes swept over him.

True, An Chong saved her mother. But Zhou Qi and others not only set up her mother, but also caused her death in the end. This was an indisputable fact.

No matter what, Zhou Qi and An Rong must pay for her mother’s death.

“Qing girl, I know that we An’s are responsible for your mother’s death. But Azhe is innocent, he knows nothing. At least, can you not hate him?” The old Master An looked at her hopefully, begging.

Mo Xiao didn’t expect the old Master An to say this. He raised his eyes and looked at Jian Qing, waiting for her reply.

Passing over that issue, Jian Qing, her eyes as dark as midnight and cold as ice, stared at An Chong, “I’ll ask again, was my mother’s pocket watch in your hands or not?”

She had asked him once before, and he had seemed completely oblivious. But since he was the one who saved her mother from the sea, it’s very likely that he took her mother’s pocket watch, aside from the possibility it was drowned in the sea.

Having heard about the pocket watch for the second time from her, a touch of confusion surfaced on An Chong’s face. He shook his head as usual, “I really haven’t seen the pocket watch you’re talking about. When I saved your mother from the sea, she didn’t have the pocket watch on her.”

Moreover, a pocket watch is of no use to him, so he has no need to lie to her.

No one noticed, but when they heard the two words “pocket watch”, Ning Feng and Xing Sen, standing nearby, their faces suddenly changed.

They have been by their master’s side for many years, and the most precious thing to their master is the pocket watch he carries with him every day.

And that pocket watch was given to him by the woman he had been looking for.

If someone else had mentioned the pocket watch, they might not have thought much of it. But it was Jian Qing who mentioned it.

Just based on her eyes, which are identical to those of the woman called “Wei Wei”, it’s hard to resist making assumptions.

But could things in the world really be this coincidental?

Upon thinking this, the two shared a glance, and then secretly looked to Mo Xiao.

His eyes were fixed on Jian Qing, his gaze cryptic.

“An Chong, I’m giving you one last chance. If I find out that my mother’s pocket watch is in your hands, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” said Jian Qing in a freezing voice.

An Chong, with an open and fearless expression, met her gaze, “I swear, I have not lied to you about this. A pocket watch is completely meaningless to me, I have no need to lie to you.”

Jian Qing withdrew her gaze, her hands clenching unconsciously.

Damn it, if the pocket watch isn’t with An Chong, then where is it?

Did it really fall into the sea?

Her tranquility was beginning to show signs of impatience, and her brows furrowed.

The man’s hand grabbed hers, cupping her clenched fists in his palm.

“Baby, don’t rush!”

His deep voice uttered slowly, soothing her inner irritation.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the usual calm was restored.

“Xiaojing, let’s go.”

Having everything cleared up, there was no point in staying any longer.

She believed that her relationship with An Zhe should remain as strangers, as they had only a one-night stand, a simple mistake, nothing more.

This way, when she takes vengeance on Zhou Qi and An Rong, she wouldn’t have any misgivings.

Hearing that she was about to leave, the old Master An became anxious.

“Qing girl!”

Jian Qing stood up, gazed calmly at him, and said, “From now on, unless necessary, I think it’s better for us not to maintain contact.”

Even though the ones who caused her mother’s death were Zhou Qi and the others, they were after all, family. She could no longer call him Grandpa with the innocence of a child.

Once she acknowledged him and An Zhe, it meant she couldn’t break ties with the An family. Then to whom should she seek justice for her mother’s death?

The old Master An was shocked. His face fell.

She was truly cutting all ties with the An family this time.

Quan Jingwu got up, his arm wrapped her, and the two of them walked towards the exit.

Seeing them nearing the door, Ning Feng glanced at Mo Xiao before yelling in urgency.

“Miss Jian Qing, wait!”

Jian Qing stopped in her tracks and looked at him, “Is there anything else?”

Not wasting any more time, Ning Feng asked directly, “May I ask what kind of watch is it that Miss Jian Qing is looking for?”

No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of this, otherwise, he would be restless all night.

Jian Qing turned around, her eyes icy, “What do you mean by that?”

Ning Feng shifted his gaze to Mo Xiao and said slowly, “To be frank, my master has a pocket watch.”

“Ning Feng!” Xing Sen quickly grabbed his sleeve.

Had he gone mad?

Didn’t he know how important that pocket watch was to their master?

Moreover, that pocket watch had been with their master for some time before he had any relations with Yun Xi.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned and looked at Mo Xiao.

Jian Qing freed her hand from Quan Jingwu. The next moment, she walked quickly to Mo Xiao.

She stared at Mo Xiao, who was still sitting on the sofa with a poker face, calm as a mountain, his expression inscrutable.

After a pause, Jian Qing was the first to speak.

“Mr. An, could you let me see the pocket watch?”

Her voice was cold and distant.

Though they were father and daughter, they seemed so distant.

For some reason, hearing her call him “Mr. An”, a slight sting rose in Mo Xiao’s heart.

After a while, he stood up. His tall body was like a mountain, overpowering.
