Chapter 513: Turning of Events (Part 7)
Grandma Shangguan noticed it was indeed getting late, nodded, and went back to her room to rest. As for the other elderly people, after exchanging a few words with Mu Qiancheng, they each went back to their rooms.
However, Shangguan Wenbin hadn’t gone back to his room yet. After the elders had left, he asked Jiang Xue, "Sis, how did tonight’s situation go? Do you need any help from me?"
"Thank you, Wenbin, but I don’t need any help for now."
"Alright, if you need anything, just let me know anytime." Shangguan Wenbin didn’t insist and left it up to Jiang Xue.
"I understand, go and sleep now."
Shangguan Wenbin then went to rest as well. Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng turned off the lights in the living room and returned to their room. In the room, Little Reunion was already asleep. Whether he was having a good dream or not was unknown, but there was a smile on his face.
Mu Qiancheng stepped forward and gently kissed his son before sitting down on a chair nearby, then pulled Jiang Xue into his arms, saying, "Xue’er, I’m sorry, for scaring you."
Fortunately, with Gong Hai’s help, otherwise today’s matter would have been quite troublesome. Because the evidence, the photos, were all provided by Gong Hai.
As for Liu Yongfa, although they had taken some photos, it wasn’t easy to convict Ming Lan. So this time, he owed Gong Hai a favor again.
"It’s nothing!" Jiang Xue shook her head indifferently. Mu Qiancheng had spoken with her beforehand and had told her that someone would protect her from the shadows, so she shouldn’t worry or panic if anything happened.
It was precisely because she trusted Mu Qiancheng that when the police came forward and Ming Lan accused her of murder, she could remain so calm.
"With Ming Lan away now, she won’t bother us anymore in the future." Mu Qiancheng tightened his grip around Jiang Xue. He hadn’t expected Ming Lan could even resort to murder, she was indeed bold.
But thinking about the things she had done in the past, it was not surprising. After all, twenty years ago, she had someone kill Jiang Xue’s parents.
Jiang Xue leaned on Mu Qiancheng, savoring this rare warmth. Suddenly, she thought of Lu Ling, who had come out with Ming Lan to accuse her today, and so she sat up, looked at Mu Qiancheng, and asked, "Qian Cheng, are you hiding something from me?"
Mu Qiancheng didn’t think much about it and shook his head directly, saying, "No, what could I be hiding from you?"
"Really nothing?" Jiang Xue looked into Mu Qiancheng’s eyes and asked.
"Really nothing!" Mu Qiancheng had a face full of sincerity, allowing his little wife to scrutinize him. He truly had nothing to hide from her, so he felt no guilt.
Seeing his denial, Jiang Xue’s expression became a bit unhappy. She glared at Mu Qiancheng and said, "Do I need to remind you?"
"Xue’er, don’t overthink. There really is nothing."
"Is that so? Then what’s the matter with Lu Ling?" Jiang Xue no longer beat around the bush with Mu Qiancheng and directly brought up Lu Ling.
Upon hearing Lu Ling’s name, Mu Qiancheng’s expression changed. Jiang Xue caught this change, and her heart sank slightly.
As expected, there was something between Mu Qiancheng and Lu Ling. However, Jiang Xue was not questioning Mu Qiancheng’s feelings for her. She felt that Mu Qiancheng shouldn’t keep things from her.
After all, she wasn’t the kind of woman who wouldn’t listen to reason. She knew clearly that Mu Qiancheng’s heart belonged only to her. It’s just that she disliked him being entangled with other women.
Moreover, if she hadn’t misheard tonight, this Lu Ling seemed to have quite a background. A woman like her would be very troublesome once entangled.
