Chapter 1314: I Only Want You (12)
“I actually didn’t want to tell you . But the main reason was because a brazen idea came to my mind after I saw that mural . ”

“What idea?”
“I wanted to use your hair sample to get a DNA test done . I wanted to verify if we were related by blood . ”
“Psht . ” An Xiaoning had never expected that to be his reason .
“That’s why I didn’t tell you . I was afraid that you would be repulsed . ”
“Why would I be?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Xiao Lu reported, “Young Madam, the people from the Donggong family are here . They’re right outside the entrance . ”
She had long expected that they would come for her, just not so soon .
“Let them in . ”
“Alright . ”
“Should I… hide?” he asked .
“No, what for? Are you afraid of them?”
“Of course not . ”
An Xiaoning waved at the servant and said, “Make me another cup of coffee . ”
“Alright, Young Madam . ”

The people who had come forth included Old Mr . Donggong’s sons and a few of his grandsons .
They were the members who held a higher status in the Donggong family .
“Have a seat . ”
The seven men sat down, and the eldest son of Old Mr . Donggong took the initiative to speak . “Ms . An, we came here with a purpose this time . One is to offer you our sincere apology and the other is to plead for your mercy . Will you please release our elder?”
“I accept your apology, but you want me to let your elder go? Why should I do that? I don’t even know who he is . What does he look like? What’s his name?”
Wu Lianzhi did not expect that she would deny it straight away . Seemingly having guessed her intentions, he remained seated quietly .
However, the men were dumbfounded .
“Ms . An, let’s not beat around the bush . We’ve already found out that he’s here . ”
“Do you have any evidence?”
They looked at each other, and one of them answered, “No… but we’re very certain that he’s here . ”
“I’m sorry, but I can only believe you if you have concrete evidence . Talk is cheap . You can’t just accuse me casually,” said An Xiaoning .
The second son said, “Ms . An, name us your condition . We’ll agree to your request as long as you release him . ”
“Do you need me to repeat myself? I really didn’t take your elder away,” she said composedly .
However, they knew that she was just denying it .

They were at a sudden loss for what to do .
Little did they know, An Xiaoning was planning to make them make a wasted trip because she would never let Wu Haigang stay alive .
After a minute of silence, the eldest son said, “Ms . An… if you’re willing to let our elder go, the Donggong family shall be loyal to you from now on . These are the exact words from my father . ”
Wu Lianzhi was dumbfounded .
“Why did your father…”
“Our family has long stopped practicing witchcraft and black magic . Elder is the only one who possesses those skills . We’ll never be able to pass the skills onto the next generation if he were to die . ”
An Xiaoning quipped with a smile, “Pass on? Are you going to expand and develop your witchcraft and use it to harm others?”
“That’s not what I meant . ”
An Xiaoning did not waver at all . “I’m sorry, but I really didn’t bring him away, and I have no idea who he is either . If there’s nothing else you’d like to say, please leave . I won’t entertain you any longer . ”
She was clearly chasing them out .
They were at a complete loss, for they had even pulled their last trump card . Yet, she was nonchalant and refused to budge at all .
There was nothing they could do .
Feeling helpless, the eldest son got onto his knees .
“What are you doing? I really haven’t seen him before . Am I supposed to do a conjuring and make him appear magically?”

At last, they had no choice but to leave empty-handed .
There was nothing they could do at all .
A silence filled the air in the living room . Noticing the deadpan expression on Wu Lianzhi’s face, An Xiaoning asked, “Do you think that I was being cruel too?”
“No . I understand your considerations and, standing from your perspective, I know what you did was right . I’ve already severed ties with the Donggong family, so I’m in no place to comment about someone else’s family matters,” Wu Lianzhi said solemnly .
“Once the curse is broken, all of this will come to an end . To be honest, I still have you to thank . If you hadn’t tried to contact me first, I wouldn’t have known about your existence . Or rather, it would have taken me much longer to find out about you . If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to learn about all these things within such a short amount of time . You see, Xiao Chenyang once tried to search for the descendants of the Wu family, but he never managed to find any clues . So many years had already passed, after all . It would definitely be tough to find them . We initially thought that they had all died because of karma . ”
“I’m really glad to have been able to help you in such an unexpected way . Fate and destiny are such incredible things . We got to reunite in such an amazing way . ”
As soon as Henry arrived downstairs, he caught sight of An Xiaoning and Wu Lianzhi smiling at each other . He stood by the stairs and yelled sluggishly, “Come upstairs, I have something to tell you . ”
“What is it?”
“You’ll know when you come upstairs,” he said before turning around to head upstairs . An Xiaoning followed suit, thinking that he actually had something to say to her . Yet, it was not the case at all .
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to tell me something? Were you fooling me?”
“So what if I was?”
An Xiaoning glared at him and said, “Fine, as long as you’re happy . I’m going downstairs now . ”
“Hold it . ”
“What is it again?”
“When are you going to make that fellow leave?”
“I’ll let him stay here for the time being . We’ll talk about it again next time,” said An Xiaoning, who decided to make further arrangements only after the curse was broken and after Wu Lianzhi’s household register was approved .
“Talk about it again next time? I don’t like having a stranger around at home,” Henry snapped .
“Go ahead and be upset about it . You’ll be fine, just bear with it . ”
“An Xiaoning, this is my property!”
“Does that mean you’re admitting that you’re Qingyan?”
“Who was the one who said that he and I are the same person?”
“Good . I have some special needs now . I hope you’ll fulfill them,” she said while sitting down on the bed and placing her hands behind her .
Pursing his lips, Henry said, “There you go again…”
“What do you mean again? Isn’t this very normal? Henry, I think it’s absolutely necessary for our bodies to communicate with each other properly . I hope you’ll consider my suggestion seriously . ”
