76 – It doesn’t seem to be such a bad thing that the two children were carried in the wrong arms.
Shen Ying was talking with friends, and turned back to find that Tan Xiu just walked away from her son’s side, and An Rong’s face looked puzzled.
Her heart jumped and she slowly walked over and asked in a soft voice:
“What did your second aunty say just now?”
An Rong looked at Shen Ying, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said softly:
“Said a few unpleasant words.”
This was because he wanted to hide it from Shen Ying. She wasn’t angry either, and said softly under the cover of the wine glass:
“Are those unpleasant words meant to make you hate Xingxing?”
An Rong’s eyes moved slightly, and he looked at his mother with some surprise. He paused, and then spoke in a defeated voice:
“She just said it in a very subtle way, but the meaning of it is …… Xingxing And I were held wrongly because my mom and dad had done it.”
Shen Ying’s face instantly sank.
An Rong was a little surprised. He has been home for so long and only felt that Shen Ying and An Xing in general, have a good temperament and love to be petulant, gentle and bright.
He had never felt such a strong sense of aggression from Shen Ying’s body.
At this moment, this woman is like an enraged lioness, radiating a ferocious aura.
Shen Ying was of course furious.
The Ning family couple has passed away, and Tan Xiu’s slander that they deliberately switched the children is simply impossible to prove their innocence.
But even if An Rong has a little doubt about this speculation, and can not find the Ning family couple to explain, who will he blame for it?
She suppressed her anger.
“She was trying to sow discord between you and Xingxing, you don’t ……”.
“Of course I won’t believe her.” An Rong lightly said, “I understand what kind of people mom and dad are more than anyone else here.”
Shen Ying smiled with some relief.
An Rong took a sip of wine and thought that Tan Xiu was out of her mind.
Tan Xiu probably thought that after he was recognized by the An family, he would be obsessed with the power and money of the An family and couldn’t wait to cut himself off from the past.
She also realized that no one would believe such a thing as the Ning couple swapping two children. Tan Xiu said this kind of words, in fact, was to give him an excuse to vent his anger.
–It was the Ning family couple that made him miss out on twenty years of life as a young master of a wealthy family, and now that they are gone, then the father’s sin will be repaid by the son, and he should retaliate against An Xing.
But all of this is premised on the fact that the Ning family couple really did the child-swapping thing, and he really minded the first twenty years of his life. But in fact, to An Rong, he never felt that the experience of being carried by the wrong person should be a shame.
In fact, An Rong felt that it was a blessing for him to have parents like the Ning couple.
Both he and An Xing grew up in love, and he believed that the Ning family, who loved him so much, would never do such a thing as secretly switching their two children. And it was even more unlikely that he himself would take out his resentment on the other side just because he hated An Xing for being held wrongly.
An Rong was very open-minded, but Tan Xiu’s words and Shen Ying’s behavior gave him a certain suspicion.
If she just wanted their family to be unhappy, there are many ways to provoke him and An Xing, why would she use the reason of “they were switched on purpose when they were just born”? Was it a whim, or was it ……
“Do you think that the second aunt, she ……”
An Rong didn’t say the last words, and just lowered his voice while his eyes sank slightly.
Shen Ying shook her head and said softly:
“We have no evidence.”
An Rong’s pupils suddenly shrunk. The woman patted the boy’s shoulder.
“That’s why we can’t talk about it, control your own emotions.”
The woman left with her glass of wine and walked towards Tan Xiu with a smile on her face. An Rong looked over there, clutching his wine glass tightly.
Just when he was somewhat unable to control his anger, his shoulder was suddenly poked.
“Ge, what are you doing here?”
An Xing doubtfully looked at An Rong, wondering why this person is not going to chat with people, and was looking at Shen Ying who walked away.
“…… Nothing.”
The boy didn’t seem to want to answer.
An Xing tilted his head, feeling that the boy’s face looked a bit ugly. Thinking again about the vague sight of his second aunt in this direction just now, the young man suddenly realized.
“Is it because Second Uncle and his family are too stingy and the birthday gift they gave you is too bad?”
An Rong: ……
Like a balloon that almost exploded had suddenly deflated, the anger that had accumulated instantly dissipated. An Rong lowered his eyes and looked helplessly at the boy. The boy covered his mouth and laughed like an angry cat that was happy to watch the fun.
“Brother, be a little more tolerant. Who let the second uncle be fired by father and the second aunty’s family also got into trouble!”
Although An Xing didn’t understand those conspiracies, Shen gege had told him about them! The car accident that Brother Xiao Yi encountered at first was not an accident, it was someone’s plotting against him. The car dealership that An Hao introduced him to played an important role in it, and the second aunty’s maiden family was involved.
An Xing felt horrified even thinking about it, that someone would actually want to kill someone for the sake of gaining some money.
The little teenager shivered a little, tugging at his brother’s sleeve, and nervously admonished.
“Brother, the second aunty’s family doesn’t seem to be very decent, you have to pay attention to your safety outside!
Looking at the youngster’s expression of worrying about his safety, An Rong was in a much better mood. He reached out and rubbed the boy’s head.
“I will, and so will you.”
An Xing twitched his ears and observed for a moment, feeling that the boy’s demeanor was much more relaxed. He immediately turned around carelessly, left his brother behind, and went to find the twins to play with.
The An family’s huge family business has An Rong to inherit, so let him go and socialize well and take on responsibilities bla bla bla!
An Rong: ……
Today, the twins and eldest cousin of the Shen family came to visit and gave An Xing and An Rong handmade birthday gifts respectively. When An Rong was busy, An Xing ran back to the corner of the banquet hall and hugged the two little babies and hugged and kissed them.
“Our Yan Yan and Chan Chan are great, they made gifts that little uncle likes so much, they are worthy of being little uncle’s precious babies!
The two little children happily surrounded An Xing in the center, pampering themselves. An Xing also ignored his beautiful suit and hugged back, making the two children giggle.
The scene was so chaotic that the eldest cousin’s wife felt that she was raising three children.
With An Rong socializing in front, An Xing huddled in the corner, feeling at ease and close to the Shen family. And Lu Tianchen came here to celebrate An Xing’s birthday, so naturally he didn’t go to socialize, and he was also in this corner.
At this time, the man was not far away, standing with the Shen family’s newly married second cousin-in-law, talking in a low voice.
An Zhaoming was always skeptical about the mistake of carrying two children, as well as the experiences of the Ning family over the past twenty years, so he began to investigate the Ning family’s secrets, and the group of punks who had been watching An Rong.
He asked the second cousin-in-law of the Shen family, while Lu Tianchen asked a friend from the criminal police team who had just been transferred from the capital. After the two parties met, they quickly found out the detailed information.
“So there is indeed this gang of thugs who have been spying on the Ning family for the last twenty years?”
The second cousin’s husband nodded and looked serious.
“That’s right. Even this group of gangsters has changed its members more than ten times, but the surveillance has not been interrupted.”
In China, private investigation is a gray area industry, and the fees are not low. If the surveillance lasted for 20 years like this, the cost would not be small.
But if you use a group of punks, the expenses are small and insignificant. After all, even with the rapid development of the economy, there will always be a wave of idle people waiting for death, loitering, and looking for trouble on the streets.
And as long as these people are used properly, they can do a lot of things.
Who would think that there are such a bunch of people who have been watching them secretly?
Lu Tian Shen’s brow furrowed, and the second cousin’s husband glanced over, knowing that he must have the same complexion.
Before the investigation, they had never thought that they would find out this kind of thing. Just imagining that the person behind the Ning family could stare at them for twenty years in a row, what kind of twisted mentality is that, and how obsessive he is.
The Shen family’s twins pressed on An Xing’s body and let out a happy laugh. This sound reached their ears, and Lu Tian Shen and the second cousin’s husband returned to their senses, simultaneously restraining their fierce auras.
“This matter, please hide it from Xingxing for the time being, just tell Uncle An,”
Lu Tian Shen whispered to his second cousin’s husband.
The Shen family and the An family are all in the same boat, not only is Shen Ying the pearl of the Shen family, but An Rong is also the Shen family’s younger generation’s first cousin. Now that they know it is likely that the two children were intentionally switched, the Shen family naturally will not stand idly by.
But they all tacitly hid it from the two kids who are still in school, especially An Xing.
“I know.” Second cousin’s husband nodded slightly, “But An Rong should have realized something.”
He was a criminal police officer, and had been secretly watching Tan Xiu’s movements since he arrived at the banquet, so naturally, he saw Tan Xiu go to talk to An Rong, and An Rong’s face looked ugly. At that time, he suspected that Tan Xiu was up to something.
Moreover, in his opinion, An Rong and An Zhaoming are very similar, both are the kind of people who do not make a sound on the surface, but know exactly what is going on in their hearts. The two families made such a big move, and if they want to hide it from An Rong, it’s more or less difficult.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as Xingxing doesn’t know about it,” Lu Tian Shen said lightly.
Lu Tian Shen said lightly, very determined that An Xing can not find out the problem.
An Xing is the only one who is a little idiot in the big family.
“Ah-choo!”
An Xing’s nose itched, avoiding the two little dummies, she sneezed. The children sputtered in chorus at the sight.
“If you suddenly sneeze, that means your love nest is thinking about you!”
One by one, the children kissed their little uncle on the face.
An Xing thought they were adorable, and stuck with the children for a while, before remembering to come to Lu Tian Shen, and waved at the man.
“I don’t want Xingxing to be immersed in bitterness and hatred, so please second cousin-in-law, we’ll hide it from him together for now.”
Looking at the teenager’s bright smile, Lu Tian Shen said one last thing and stepped forward following the teenager’s call.
The policeman doesn’t approve of this kind of behavior of hiding the truth from the parties involved. Since the truth has not been found out yet, it is not easy to say anything now. And more importantly…
Who is your second cousin’s husband! You don’t even have a title!

After the birthday party, everyone in the upper class of Tang city knew that An Xing was still the little prince who was spoiled by the An and Shen families. He was not a poor little thing that could be bullied by anyone. Whenever the young masters wanted to trade with the company, they would ask An Xing for help, regardless of whether he would accept it or not.
And An Xing is still the same as before, not noticing these changes at all. He was very busy.
In November, after more than two months of designing and polishing, An Xing finished the piece of jewelry for the competition, put it in a special safe and sent it to the jury.
First there was the incident of the real and fake young master, and then there was the incident of Weiqing Jewellery’s plagiarism. The audience of the jewelry circle still remembered An Xing, the former crown prince of Anning Jewellery. When the jury announced the list of winners, and An Xing was one of the first prize winners, many people flocked to the jury.
Then, they were so impressed by the official website that they couldn’t resist buying the jewelry designed by An Xing.
When this jewelry set a record for purchases on the official website, Shen Ying held a small celebration party, inviting only her family and An Xing’s friends.
At the celebration, Shen Ying shook Tan Xiu’s hand and said with emotion:
“Although I carried the wrong child twenty years ago, Xingxing and Rongrong are both good children,” she said.
“Sister-in-law, would you say that I am really very lucky to have such two good sons?”
“Thinking about it, it doesn’t seem to be such a bad thing that the two children were carried in the wrong arms,” she said.
The woman’s smile was bright and glowing, but in Tan Xiu’s eyes, it was like a provocation!
