Azhen and An Jinyue first met Chu Lianghui, the man who orchestrated the child swap.

Now that his reputation is ruined, he's lost his freedom, and he was taken away in full view of everyone, his state of mind is naturally not good. Even though he is a famous musician, he has never felt as embarrassed as he did that day when he was taken away, wishing that all eyes would be off him.

Upon seeing that it was An Jinyue, Chu Lianghui stared at her intently, his thoughts unreadable.

An Jinyue remained indifferent, which made Chu Lianghui unconsciously look away: "What are you doing here? After being together for more than 20 years, I find that I still can't understand you. Things happened so unexpectedly. Who could have imagined that just the night before, our family had a sumptuous dinner together, which was very warm and cozy."

"An Jinyue, you are a very cunning person."

An Jinyue laughed out loud this time: "You start attacking me personally just because you can't outsmart me? Is being cunning a bad thing? Does it mean that being naive and getting schemed against until you're skinned alive and your marrow is drained? If I could live a life without being schemed against and with everything going smoothly, I would rather be a very cunning person."

“At this point, instead of trying to find fault with me, you should think about hiring a better lawyer so you can spend two fewer years in jail,” An Jinyue said.

Chu Lianghui has done well in his career over the years and has indeed made some money, so hiring a good lawyer is not a problem at all.

She won't stop it.

What are you stopping?
Getting out sooner might not be better than being in prison.

She said that once she knew the truth, it was impossible for these people to have an easy time.

If he doesn't come out, her influence can't reach inside the prison; it's more convenient for her to stay outside.

Chu Lianghui's face did look rather grim. He should have known that ordinary words couldn't possibly hurt someone like An Jinyue.

He clenched his fist: "Then what are you doing here? To laugh at me?"

“Yes, I’m happy to see you go from the peak to the trough, from glory to disgrace, from a famous musician to ruined reputation.” An Jinyue was also very frank. “Not only am I happy, but my daughter is also very happy, so I brought her along to see the show today.”

Chu Lianghui then noticed Azhen beside him. Having been arrested, he was unaware of many things happening outside, and his eyes showed genuine surprise upon recognizing Azhen. At this moment, how could he not know why Chu Lingxiao had gotten involved with Fuzhen in the first place?

"So it was you," Chu Lianghui said.

“Although the matter has been exposed, I have never regretted what I did back then,” Chu Lianghui suddenly laughed. “At least for the past twenty years, my children have been raised very well. I have done right by Lanlan and have not let her down. My children have lived a life of luxury since childhood. They are the envy of everyone, enjoying resources that ordinary people cannot reach. They have been standing at the finish line of others since childhood.”

"I'm content!" Chu Lianghui emphasized, his eyes fixed on An Jinyue. An Jinyue remained calm, her face showing no anger or vulnerability that he wanted to see. But he didn't believe An Jinyue wasn't angry. "Just keep pretending. I know you're definitely angry inside, you must hate me to the core. You've always been so nonchalant, never showing it no matter what happens. But I know you're in a lot of pain right now, aren't you?"

"You seem to hate me a lot?" An Jinyue was actually a little puzzled. When she met Chu Lianghui, he was the one who took the initiative, and their relationship did not develop quickly. At that time, she had to finish her studies and also had to go to the company with her mother to learn, so she didn't have much free time.

Chu Lianghui's appearance did indeed add a touch of specialness to her rare free time. He was good-looking, somewhat talented, and not a particularly troublesome person. He was also quite tactful in his interactions, which satisfied her. Because she didn't want to deal with relationship troubles after her busy schedule, she decided to let things progress slowly.

If she knew that Chu Lianghui had someone else he liked, whether they were together or not, she would never get involved in this kind of trouble.

"Yes, I really hate you." Chu Liang admitted, his expression somewhat blank. "If you hadn't appeared, perhaps Lanlan and I would have ended up together. She wouldn't have fallen that day, and if she hadn't fallen, she wouldn't have had a difficult childbirth. If she hadn't had a difficult childbirth, she could have survived, and my two children wouldn't have lost their mother."

An Jinyue laughed: "If you were content with the ordinary and didn't pursue wealth and status, things might be different. Chu Lianghui, think about it carefully. You broke up with Lu Lan first. All her tragedies are because of you. It's unreasonable for you to hate me."

Seeing Chu Lianghui's expression, An Jinyue suddenly stopped talking, feeling that there was no point in talking to someone like that.

"How did you discover the truth? Everything seemed so perfect." Chu Lianghui was still somewhat unwilling. His original plan was to keep this a secret until the very end. As long as An Jinyue had a voice in the An family and was in good health, no one could act rashly.

He was somewhat disappointed that it was exposed at this time. Everything had been arranged perfectly, and he hadn't even expected the appearance of some helpers.

Otherwise, there would have been a risk of exposure many years ago.

An Jinyue smiled, but shook her head at him: "Well, I don't know either. My daughter found it first."

"I'm not telling you," Azhen replied, "I'll keep you waiting forever."

An Jinyue was amused, and seeing that Chu Lianghui was actually a little defensive, she found it even funnier.

Actually, it's very easy to break Chu Lianghui's defenses.

"You were just congratulating yourself on raising your children so well, weren't you?" An Jinyue asked. Seeing Chu Lianghui's expression change, she continued, "Your daughter has truly surpassed you. She's done far more serious things than you, and she'll probably be serving just as long a sentence as you. Do you need me to count how many crimes she's carrying right now?"

"Actually, this is just on the surface. It will be very difficult for her to get out. Even if she does get out, do you think we will let her live a carefree life? What are you thinking?" After Azhen finished speaking, even An Jinyue felt strange and did not understand what he meant.

Azhen didn't explain, but continued, "Chu Lingxiao hasn't done anything wrong and is still free outside, but do you think he'll be comfortable in the future? I heard he and his girlfriend had a falling out, and even when he offered himself up, she told him to get lost."

"Stop talking!"

"How could Weiwei have been arrested?" Chu Lianghui couldn't believe it; this time, he was truly terrified.

"We know that Chu Lingwei has been threatening and intimidating people, hiring thugs to assault others, and twice hiring people to sabotage my college entrance exams... These are just the things that are out in the open; there's definitely more going on behind the scenes," Azhen said. "Once we find out what else she's done, we'll have someone let you know, so you don't find out nothing." (End of Chapter)
