When An Zhaoming and An Rong rushed back to the An family villa, Tan Xiu had already been taken away by 120 and An Zhaoyuan had also been taken away by the police.
Although the incident happened in the An family villa, An Xing and Shen Ying were both present, but from beginning to end, they only pushed Tan Xiu away when she rushed over. The surveillance camera on the door also clearly captured how Tan Xiu rolled down the stairs.
After watching the surveillance video, the police did not make things difficult for Chen Ying and An Xing. They just said they would still question them and then left.
After receiving the news from Shen Ying at the company and learning that the two had come to their house to make trouble, An Zhaoming and An Rong hurried back home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw blood all over the floor and were almost frightened to death. When the two were trembling with fear, they saw An Xing and Shen Ying coming out and rushed over to them.
"Aying, Xingxing, are you okay?"
The tall and dignified middle-aged man was frantically circling around his wife and son. The handsome young boy was also very anxious. He was relieved to see that the woman and the boy were unharmed.
Chen Ying sat on the sofa, leaned into An Zhaoming's arms, smiled and patted his arm.
"Don't worry, they can't do anything to us."
After hearing the news that Brother Hai was arrested, Chen Ying rehearsed many times in her mind how to make Tan Xiu confess her guilt - it was not easy. Tan Xiu had been monitoring the Ning family for more than ten years and was ruthless. It was too difficult to get her to admit that she had deliberately taken the wrong two children.
Therefore, Shen Ying's goal from the very beginning was to let An Zhaoyuan identify Tan Xiu.
Her brother-in-law was arrogant and self-righteous, and was much easier to deal with than Tan Xiu.
As expected, An Zhaoyuan didn't hesitate at all when he stabbed Tan Xiu in the back.
Thinking of Tan Xiu's unwilling and resentful look when she rolled down the stairs, Chen Ying felt extremely happy. She leaned out of An Zhaoming's arms and touched the baby's head.
“Is Xingxing scared?”
An Xing sat on the sofa, still a little dazed. He tried to sort out what happened today and how his mother made Tan Xiu confess. But no matter how he tried to recall, his logic failed in the end.
In the end, the boy could only ask foolishly:
"Tan Xiu, are you... admitting your guilt?"
The woman said in harmony:
"It can't be considered formal evidence, it can only be said that there is a strong suspicion. If we want to convict her, we still need to collect evidence from the police in the end."
An Xing uttered an "ah" in a daze, and finally decided to give up torturing himself. He rubbed his head against his mother's palm while muttering:
"It's true that evil will be punished!"
The boy came up to his brother again, grabbed the boy's hand, and looked serious.
"Tan Xiu rolled down the stairs. It must have been painful. She deserved it!"
How could the pain she felt when she rolled down the stairs be comparable to the pain his parents felt when they encountered a landslide or the pain he felt when he was in a car accident in his previous life?
The tragedy of their two families was caused by Tan Xiu. An Xing even sincerely hoped that Tan Xiu would not die so easily, and it would be better for him to continue to live.
An Rong touched the boy's head, was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
Chen Ying looked at An Zhaoming again.
"Your second brother should have had nothing to do with this matter at first, and he didn't know about it, but later..."
She didn't say anything more, but An Zhaoming understood. Tan Xiu was An Zhaoyuan's bedmate, how could he not know what Tan Xiu did? He was just pretending to be deaf and dumb for his own benefit.
An Zhaoyuan had long been disappointed with his younger brother, so he showed no emotion when he heard this, and only sighed.
"He's already grown up, but he's still so impulsive that he pushed Tan Xiu down the stairs with his own hands...they really deserve it!"
Chen Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up at An Zhaoming, only to see her husband's gentle expression, his phoenix eyes looking at her with pity. Their eyes met, and the man bowed his head and kissed his wife's forehead.
"Don't worry about them. They deserve it."
"Yes, it's a bargain for them."
An Rong glanced at the two of them and spoke calmly.
"Luckily you installed surveillance, mom. Otherwise they might have put the blame on our family."
An Xing nodded vigorously: "That's right!"
The woman's eyes were slightly red, and when she saw the boy nodding vigorously in agreement, with his curly hair flying, she couldn't help but laugh. She was about to raise her hand to touch the cub when she saw Lu Tianchen hurriedly walk in from outside.
"Brother Shen!"
Seeing the worried man, An Xing's eyes lit up and he pounced over instantly.
Lu Tianchen took the boy in his arms, looked him up and down several times, and confirmed that the boy was not hurt at all, just a little frightened, and only then was he completely relieved.
He had been on the phone with An Xing and was very clear about everything. He didn't say anything more at this time, but just looked at the An family.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It's hard to clean up such a big pool of blood. This is also a crime scene... Why don't we go to the Lu family's old house for the New Year this year?"
The An family paused and looked at the large pool of blood under the stairs with distorted expressions.
Tan Xiu and An Zhaoyuan, even during the New Year, didn't forget to cause trouble for them.
The An family cursed and thought for a while, then packed up their things and went to the Lu family's old house with Lu Tianchen.
This year, the two families spent the New Year at the Lu family's old house. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner together, they climbed up the city wall to watch the fireworks.
An Xing and Lu Tianchen were in love, and the An couple were more skilled at showing off their affection than their own children. The Lu couple said it was a business marriage, but after all, they had been together for decades, and there was a deep affection between them.
The New Year passed by An Rong alone.
After New Year’s Eve, the An family and the Lu family each paid New Year’s greetings and cooperated with the police in various investigations before cleaning up the house.
But the An family felt uncomfortable with the living situation, so they hired someone to redecorate the walls and floors of the house, reinforced the stair railings and took various anti-slip and anti-fall measures, and then moved back.
News came from the hospital that Tan Xiu hit the back of her head when she fell and her condition was not good. It was feared that she would have difficulty waking up again in the future.
Upon hearing the news, the An family members were very indifferent, except An Zhaoyuan, who was shocked. It was impossible for Tan Xiu to be sentenced in this state, so he could only try his best to put all the blame on Tan Xiu and find a way to clear himself.
But in the end, he was held accountable for not reporting the incident.
An Hao came to the An family, wanting An Zhaoming to rescue An Zhaoyuan for the sake of their blood relationship, but he didn't know what An Zhaoming said to him. He left dejectedly and left Tang City with his family savings.
An Xing never asked about these things, nor did he care at all. After watching Tan Xiu rolling down the stairs, all his worries disappeared.
Although An Rong didn't say anything, he felt more and more relaxed day by day, as if he had unloaded a heavy psychological burden and was finally able to move forward.
*
In the blink of an eye, spring came, the ice and snow melted, and all things began to grow.
On Friday night, Lu Tianchen got off work from Lu Group and drove home.
As soon as the door opened, the cat with flower arms sprinted over to welcome the return of its owner. The man leaned over with a gentle expression, changed his shoes, and petted the cat a few times. "Where's your brother?"
The kitten purrs and wags its tail.
Lu Tianchen looked up at the room and saw that there was still no boy coming out to greet him. After touching the cat a few more times, he stood up and walked towards the handicraft room.
The cat with flower arms followed the man closely, only to see the two-legged beasts open the room that it was never allowed to enter, and then locked it outside.
The kitten ran back to the cat's nest angrily, picked up a hand-sewn little mouse, and started to bite it.
In the handicraft room, the young man was facing the door sideways. When he saw the man coming in, he looked up and smiled at him, then continued to work on his handicraft.
The boy held a piece of wood in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand, concentrating on carving the wood. The setting sun shone in from the French window, giving the boy a beautiful golden glow.
The audience who were watching the live broadcast through the camera in front of the boy were frantically taking screenshots of the boy's hands in the camera, but they didn't know that the boy who was not captured in the camera was even more fascinating.
Lu Tianchen sat on the sofa next to him without changing his clothes. He just watched the boy do handicrafts quietly, and occasionally chatted with the barrage.
It was not until dark that the wood in the boy's hands gradually took shape into a vivid wooden kitten, and he was satisfied.
An Xing looked at the kitten in his hand which was still missing a few details, then looked at Lu Tianchen sitting on the sofa next to him, and decisively decided to end the live broadcast.
"That's all for today. I'll continue with the kitten next time. Huh? Ask me what I'm going to do later?"
In Lu Tianchen’s eyes, the boy’s mouth corners turned up, his round face was full of pride, and his clear voice was extremely brisk.
"Don't interfere in things that only young couples do!"
"..."
After turning off the live broadcast, An Xing stood up, threw himself onto the sofa, and rubbed into Lu Tianchen's arms.
"I drove back here by myself today! It was a great drive!"
Since the ending of Tan Xiu and An Zhaoyuan, An Xing's minor psychological shadow on riding in a car has completely dissipated. He passed the driving test in his sophomore year, but he was not familiar with it. Now he dares to go on the road alone.
The man lowered his head and kissed the boy's cheek, praising him:
"The stars are awesome."
The overbearing Mr. Lu, who was cold and strict outside and even reluctant to smile, now embraced the young man and spoke in a low and gentle voice.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, shall we go back to An's house?"
An Xing started school in the second semester of his junior year, and there were already very few professional courses, so there was no need for him to live on campus all the time. He also wanted to manage his small broken website account and try to build his own brand, which would be even more difficult to do in the dormitory.
So after several rounds of discussions with his family, and with the Lu couple joining the talks, An Xing moved into Lu Tianchen's home.
Fortunately, after the engagement, the An family has become much calmer about the Lu family's inherited habit of stealing babies. Seeing their own little cabbage trying hard to push towards the pig, they could only accept it with a smile.
So An Xing lived with Lu Tianchen during the week and went back to the An family on weekends to spend time with his old father, mother and brother.
——After helping their son get engaged and spending the New Year together, the Lu couple went abroad again to build their own business.
"Let's go to the cemetery tomorrow morning."
An Xing nestled in Lu Tianchen's arms and yawned.
"Dad said that Tan Xiu is confirmed to be brain dead."
This news must be told to his parents.
The boy's face was relaxed, without any trace of gloom or anxiety. Lu Tianchen responded, picked him up, and opened the door of the craft room.
The kitten with flowery arms rushed over again, meowing in dissatisfaction.
"Flower!"
An Xing jumped down and hugged the cat, squeezing its paws happily. Lu Tianchen smiled and went to the kitchen to cook.
The next day, An Xing and Lu Tianchen took flowers and went to the cemetery together.
The cemetery where the Ning couple originally lived was not well managed, and there was an incident where the eldest and his wife of the Ning family evaded surveillance and attempted to steal. So later, An Xing and An Rong worked together to dig out their own money and moved the Ning couple's tomb to another cemetery.
When they arrived at the gate of the cemetery, Chen Ying and An Zhaoming were accompanying An Rong out.
"I knew you two would come too. Let's go into the mountains and have lunch later."
An Xing looked at An Rong for a few times, and seeing that the boy looked very peaceful and even in a good mood, he felt relieved. He responded, waved to his parents, and pulled Lu Tianchen into the cemetery.
The two placed the flowers in front of the Ning couple's tomb, together with the flowers brought by An Rong, and bowed to the tombstone hand in hand.
"During the Chinese New Year, I was unable to bring Brother Chen to see you because of Tan Xiu, and then I was busy moving and starting school, so it has been delayed until now. It's not a coincidence that that person is gone too, this is called double happiness!"
The young man spoke confidently. Lu Tianchen turned his head to look over and a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Chen and I are already engaged. We will get married when I graduate, but Brother is still single. You guys should protect him from being single for too long. He is old and no longer fresh. No pretty girl will want him!"
Lu Tianchen couldn't help but ask:
"Do you really want Anrong to find a partner?"
An Xing said as a matter of course:
"Of course! Brother Shen, you can't have children. I'm still waiting for my brother and sister-in-law to have twins so that I can play with them!"
"..."
Lu Tianchen was speechless for a long time. After all, he failed to deal with this little bastard in front of his elders’ grave.
"What if your sister-in-law doesn't want to have children?"
"...Okay, forget about him then."
The boy also felt that inducing labor was not a good idea and could only say so angrily.
"I'll play with my cousin's nephew and niece first!"
The early spring sunshine sprinkled from the sky. The boy muttered to himself in front of his biological parents' grave, with the little curls on his head twitching.
Lu Tianchen looked at the lively boy without blinking, until the boy turned around and met his eyes.
The pair of round almond-shaped eyes first widened in surprise, and then the light brown eyes were filled with a little pride and endless joy. The boy took the man's hand and moved closer to kiss him.
"Okay, let's go home!"
The two held hands and never let go again in their lives.
