Satisfied, An Qingruo quietly changed the topic, and began to chat with Ruan Qingwan.

On the other side, it was the weekend so both Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen did not have to go to work. Yesterday, Gong Lingqian had said that he would bring An Xingchen back to the Gong’s Mansion to see Shu Yurou today, so this morning, after Gong Lingqian had breakfast, he personally drove An Xingchen to the Gong’s Mansion.

Forty minutes later, Gong Lingqian's Maybach stopped outside the Gong’s Mansion.

On the way over, Gong Lingqian called Shu Yurou, so when the car stopped, the servant Aunt Zhang in the old house heard the commotion and immediately came out to welcome them.

Aunt Zhang had been an old servant of the Gong Family for many years. She had watched Gong Lingqian grow up and had thus always treated him as his own child.

Seeing that Gong Lingqian had returned with An Xingchen, he hurriedly went up and greeted him respectfully. "Good morning, young master, good morning Miss An.

Gong Lingqian reached out and grabbed An Xingchen's small hand, his ten fingers clasped tightly as he pulled An Xingchen into the villa.

"Hello, Auntie." An Xingchen somewhat awkwardly looked at Shu Yurou who was sitting on the sofa and greeted first.

An Xingchen's skin was thin. In front of Shu Yurou, she hurriedly let go of the two hands that were tightly locked together with Gong Lingqian.

"Mom." Gong Lingqian also shouted.

When Shu Yurou heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen both entering the room. She smiled gently and called out to them: "It's been a while since the two of you came to see me, come sit.

Shu Yurou had a habit of collecting tea leaves, with that said, she passed two cups of tea that she had brewed earlier to Gong Lingqian and An Xingchen.

"Thank you Auntie." An Xingchen politely accepted the teacup and sipped on her tea.

An Xingchen did not understand much about tea, but seeing that Shu Yurou was still looking at her as if he was waiting for a reply, he replied sincerely: "The tea is very nice."

This answer was obviously an outsider's answer.

"Thank you Auntie." An Xingchen said somewhat embarrassedly.

A while ago, Lu Yaozong's fall had also implicated An Xingchen, and the matter was rather big, so it was impossible for Shu Yurou to not know, so now that she had met Shu Yurou, An Xingchen did not know how to face it. She was afraid that Shu Yurou would also think of herself as a murderer in her heart …

An Xingchen was nervously thinking in her heart, but in the next second, she heard Shu Yurou's gentle voice. "Ling Qian, I heard that your Aunt Lu and Shijie had already cremated your Uncle Lu."

Gong Lingqian nodded his head: "En, I called the passed away Jia De, saying that Aunt Lu means that there will be no funeral."

If the Lu family was holding a funeral, Gong Lingqian was prepared to go, so he made a call to ask Lu Shijia, but now that the funeral was no longer held, there was no need for Gong Lingqian to go.

Shu Yurou sighed in regret as she heard this. "Your Uncle Lu has left, your Aunt Lu must be feeling really uncomfortable in her heart. If she went overboard on impulse, you all shouldn't bother about her."

Shu Yurou and Ruan Qingwan were close friends for many years, and the Gong Family and the Lu Family had always been good friends. Originally, with such a huge matter happening in the Lu Family, logically speaking, Shu Yurou should go and see Ruan Qingwan.

However, the death of Lu Yaozong had also involved An Xingchen.

She was very clear of her son's character. After so many years of being pursued by Gong Lingqian and his countless number of suitors, just choosing An Xingchen was enough to show the important position An Xingchen held in her son's heart.

She had long guessed that An Xingchen was involved, and her son would definitely not stand idly by the side and watch.

So, Shu Yurou had people watching the development of this case the entire time, and she did not want to look at Ruan Qingwan. After all, her own son was also involved in this case, and in order to protect the murderer that Ruan Qingwan had thought she was involved in.

On one side was his own son, and on the other was his best friend of many years.

Even if she did go, it would only cause the two of them to feel awkward. It would be better to temporarily not get involved in this matter.

But because he had been paying attention to this case, Shu Yurou understood a lot about it.

In fact, from the very beginning, when Shu Yurou was listed as a suspect, Shu Yurou had not believed it.

Although she had only met An Xingchen a few times and wasn't familiar with her, but from the few times they had met, Shu Yurou could tell that An Xingchen was a very kind and simple girl.

Furthermore, last time Shu Yurou heard that An Xingchen had been hit by a car and almost lost her life in order to save the Lu couple.

Just from this point, one could tell that An Xingchen was a kind and good child.

How could such a good boy kill someone else?

But thankfully, they heard that the real culprit for the murder in this case had been found, the suspicion on An Xingchen's body had been removed, and the case had been closed.

When An Xingchen heard Shu Yurou's words just now, her tense heart that was in a straight line finally relaxed a bit.

She had thought that Shu Yurou would also think that she was a murderer after hearing the rumors outside … She never thought that Shu Yurou would actually choose to believe her …

How could she be so lucky to have met such a good Gong Lingqian, and even have met such a good mother like Gong Lingqian?

Gong Lingqian, who was at the side, felt An Xingchen's emotions fluctuate. He reached out to grab An Xingchen's small hand, as if he was comforting her, and lightly scratched his palm.

She nodded towards Shu Yurou and replied, "Mn, I know, Stars and I understand Aunt Lu's feelings very well."

Actually, this was because Gong Lingqian had been Lu Family's close friend for many years, and Lu Shijia was his good brother, and Ruan Qingwan was his mother's good friend, so he did not pursue the matter!

With the matter settled, An Xingchen no longer felt awkward facing Shu Yurou. The two of them were like a mother and daughter, sitting and chatting.

On the contrary, he had actually set Gong Lingqian, his own son aside.

Gong Lingqian looked at Shu Yurou and Shu Yurou who were happily chatting with each other, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curved into a smile, revealing a trace of Xiao Ronglai.

However, in the next second, Gong Lingqian's gaze landed on his own mother, Shu Yurou.
