After Chen Ying finished talking to her friend, she turned around and found that Tan Xiu had just walked away from her son, and An Rong had an inexplicable look on his face.
Her heart skipped a beat, she slowly walked over and asked softly:
"What did your second aunt say just now?"
An Rong glanced at Chen Ying, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said lightly:
"He said some unpleasant things."
This is to hide it from Chen Ying. She was not angry, and said softly under the cover of the wine glass:
"Are those unpleasant words meant to make you hate the stars?"
An Rong's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at his mother in surprise. He paused, then compromised and said:
"She just said it very subtly, but what she meant was... Xingxing and I were taken by mistake. It was mom and dad who did it."
Shen Ying's face darkened instantly.
An Rong was a little surprised. He had been home for so long, and he only felt that Chen Ying was like An Xing, good-tempered, coquettish, gentle and bright.
He had never felt such a strong sense of oppression from Shen Ying.
At this moment, the woman was like an enraged lioness, exuding a fierce aura.
Of course Shen Ying was angry.
The Ning couple has passed away, and Tan Xiu slandered them for deliberately swapping the child, but there is no way to prove their innocence.
If An Rong had any doubts about this speculation and could not ask the Ning couple for an explanation, who would he be alienated from?
She suppressed her anger.
"She wants to sow discord between you and Xing Xing, don't..."
"Of course I won't believe her." An Rong said calmly, "I know what kind of people my parents are better than anyone here."
Chen Ying smiled with some relief.
An Rong took a sip of wine and felt that Tan Xiu was mentally ill.
Tan Xiu probably thought that after being recognized by the An family, she would become obsessed with their power and money and would be eager to break away from the past.
She herself knew that no one would believe that the Ning family had swapped two children. Tan Xiu said this to give him an excuse to vent.
——It was the Ning couple who made him miss out on twenty years of life as a rich young master. Now that they are gone, he should take revenge on An Xing, as the son should pay for his father’s debt.
But the premise of all this is that the Ning family couple really did swap children, and he really minded the first twenty years of his life. But in fact, for An Rong, he never felt that the experience of being taken away by mistake should be a shame.
An Rong even felt that it was a blessing for him to have parents like the Ning couple.
He and An Xing both grew up in love, and he believed that the Ning family couple who loved him so deeply would never do such a thing as secretly swapping two children. And he himself would never vent his resentment on the other party because he hated An Xing for being taken away by mistake.
An Rong was very open-minded, but Tan Xiu's words and Shen Ying's performance made him have some guesses.
If he just wanted to make his family unhappy, there were many ways to sow discord between him and An Xing, so why did he use the excuse that "they were deliberately switched at birth"? Was it Xinxue Laicha's idea, or...
"Do you think Second Aunt..."
An Rong did not say the rest of the words, but lowered his voice and his eyes darkened slightly.
Chen Ying shook her head and said softly:
"We have no evidence."
An Rong's pupils shrank suddenly. The woman patted the boy's shoulder.
"So don't make it public and control your emotions."
The woman left with the wine glass, walking towards Tan Xiu with a smile on her face. An Rong looked over there, holding the wine glass tightly.
Just when he was beginning to lose control of his anger, he was suddenly poked in the shoulder.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
An Xing looked at An Rong in confusion, wondering why this man didn't go and chat with others, and then looked at Chen Ying who was walking away.
"……nothing."
The boy didn't seem to want to answer.
An Xing tilted his head, feeling that the boy's expression was a little ugly. Thinking about the vague sight of Second Aunt in this direction just now, the boy suddenly realized.
"Is it because my second uncle's family is too stingy that the birthday present they gave you was so bad?"
An Rong: ...
Like a balloon that was about to explode, it suddenly lost its air, and the accumulated anger instantly dissipated. An Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the boy helplessly. The boy covered his mouth and smiled like a proud kitten who was gloating over the misfortune of others.
"Brother, please bear with me. My second uncle has been fired by my father, and my second aunt's family is also in trouble!"
Although An Xing didn't understand those conspiracies, Brother Chen told him everything! The car accident that Xiao Yige encountered was not an accident, but someone plotted against him. And the car dealership that An Hao introduced played an important role in it, and Second Aunt's family was involved.
An Xing found it horrifying to think about it that someone would actually want to kill someone else just for money.
The little boy shivered, tugged at his brother's sleeve, and nervously gave him instructions.
"Brother, Second Aunt's family doesn't seem very decent, you have to be careful when you're out there!"
Seeing the boy's silly look of worrying about his safety, An Rong felt much better. He reached out and rubbed the boy's head.
"I know. You too."
An Xing observed with her ears trembling, and found that the boy looked much more relaxed. She immediately turned around heartlessly, leaving her brother behind, and went to play with the twins.
An Rong is the heir to the huge An family business, so let him socialize well and take on responsibilities!
An Rong: ...
Today, the twins of Shen's eldest cousin came and gave An Xing and An Rong handmade birthday gifts. An Rong had nothing to do, so An Xing ran back to the corner of the banquet hall and rubbed the two little balls.
"Our Yanyan and Cancan are awesome. Uncle really likes the gifts they made. They are indeed Uncle's treasures!"
The two little dumplings happily surrounded An Xing, and they were clinging to each other. An Xing didn't care about his neat and beautiful suit, and he clung to them, making the two dumplings giggle.
The scene became chaotic for a moment, and my cousin's wife felt as if she had raised three dumplings.
With An Rong socializing in front, An Xing huddled in a corner, feeling at ease getting close to the Shen family. Lu Tianchen came to celebrate An Xing's birthday, so he naturally didn't go to any social events, and he also stayed in this corner.
At this time, the man was not far away, standing with the Shen family's newly-appointed second cousin-in-law, talking in a low voice.
An Zhaoming had doubts about the two children being taken away by mistake and the Ning family's experiences in the past twenty years, so he began to investigate the gang of thugs who had been monitoring An Rong as revealed by the Ning family.
He was looking for the second cousin's husband of the Shen family, while Lu Tianchen was looking for his friend in the criminal police team, who had just been transferred from Beijing. After the two parties met, they quickly found out the detailed information.
"So, there really is such a group of thugs who have been monitoring the Ning family for the past twenty years?"
My second cousin's husband nodded, looking very serious.
"That's right. Even though this gang has changed more than a dozen people, they have never stopped monitoring."
In China, private detectives are a grey area profession and the fees are not low. If surveillance lasts for twenty years like this, the cost will not be small.
But if you use a group of hooligans, the cost is not high and it is not noticeable. After all, even if the economy is developing rapidly, there will always be a group of idle people in society who eat and wait for death, do nothing, pick on cats and dogs and find trouble on the streets.
And as long as this group of people use it well, they can accomplish a lot of things.
Who would have thought that there are so many eyes actually staring at you secretly?
Lu Tianchen frowned, and his second cousin-in-law took a look and knew that he must have the same expression.
Before the investigation, they had never thought that they would find out such a thing. Just imagine how twisted and persistent the person behind the scenes must be to keep an eye on the Ning family for twenty years.
The twins of the Shen family pressed on An Xing and laughed happily. When Lu Tianchen and his second cousin-in-law heard this, they came to their senses and restrained their evil spirits at the same time.
"Please keep this a secret from Xingxing for now. Just be honest with Uncle An."
Lu Tianchen whispered to his second cousin’s husband.
The Shen family and the An family are closely related. Not only is Shen Ying the apple of the Shen family's eye, but An Rong is also the younger cousin of the Shen family. Now that they know that the two children were probably deliberately swapped, the Shen family will naturally not stand idly by.
But they all tacitly kept it a secret from the two children who were still in school, especially An Xing.
"I know." My second cousin's husband nodded slightly, "But An Rong should have noticed something."
He was a criminal policeman, and had been secretly watching Tan Xiu's actions since he arrived at the banquet. Naturally, he also saw Tan Xiu go to talk to An Rong, and An Rong's face was unhappy. At that time, he suspected that Tan Xiu was up to something.
Moreover, in his opinion, An Rong and An Zhaoming were very similar, both of them were calm on the outside but clear on the inside. It was somewhat difficult for the two families to hide such a big move from An Rong.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the stars don't know."
Lu Tianchen said calmly, he was very sure that An Xing would not find any problems.
Only An Xing is a big family of little fools, and it was born.
“A-choo!”
An Xing's nose itched, and he sneezed away from the two little dumplings. Seeing this, the dumplings began to sing indistinctly.
"If Li suddenly sneezed, it must be because I was thinking about Li!"
The dumplings kissed their uncle on the face one by one.
An Xing was so delighted by the cuteness that she stayed close to the dumplings for a long time before she remembered Lu Tianchen and waved to the man.
"I don't want Xingxing to be immersed in pain and hatred, so I'll trouble my second cousin-in-law to keep it a secret from him for now."
Looking at the boy's bright smile, Lu Tianchen said one last word and followed the boy's call and stepped forward.
The police officer strongly disapproves of this behavior of hiding the truth from the parties involved. Since the truth has not yet been found out, it is not easy to say anything now. And more importantly...
Who is your second cousin's husband? You don't even have the status!

After the birthday party, everyone in the upper class of Tang City understood that An Xing was still the little prince who was spoiled by both the An and Shen families, and was not a poor little person who could be bullied by just anyone. Whenever a young master wanted to organize a party, he would ask An Xing, whether he wanted to go or not.
An Xing was still the same as before and didn't notice these changes at all. He was very busy.
In November, after more than two months of design, production and polishing, An Xing completed the jewelry for the competition. After putting it in a special safe, he mailed it to the judging committee.
First there was the real and fake young master incident, then there was the plagiarism incident of Weiqing Jewelry. The spectators in the jewelry circle still had an impression of Anning Jewelry's former prince, An Xing. When the jury announced the list of winners and An Xing was one of the first prize winners, many spectators flocked to the event.
Then I followed the official website and couldn’t help but buy jewelry designed by An Xing.
When this piece of jewelry set a purchase record on the official website, Chen Ying held a small celebration party, inviting only relatives and friends of An Xing.
At the celebration party, Chen Ying held Tan Xiu's hand and said with emotion:
"Although the wrong baby was taken away 20 years ago, Xingxing and Rongrong are both good children."
"Sister-in-law, do you think I am really lucky to have two such good sons?"
"Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing that the two children were taken away by mistake."
The woman's smile was bright and brilliant, and in Tan Xiu's eyes, it seemed like a provocation!
