Chapter 183: Chapter 183: The Truth of That Year 2

An Yan glanced back and smiled, "Of course."

She and Mu Boyan walked to the bedside and sat down.

Yang Suhua sighed heavily and began with difficulty, "It was our greed that led to this tragedy. If we had known what lay ahead, I don’t think we would have made the same decision twenty years ago."

An Zaili and Du Xinlan were childhood sweethearts, but since An Zaili’s family was of modest means, the pair thought of having An Zaili marry into a wealthy family to elevate their status.

The innocent and kind-hearted Xu Zhen became An Zaili’s target.

Under An Zaili’s passionate pursuit, Xu Zhen became his girlfriend.

The Xu family did not care about social status, only wanting their daughter to be happy and content. Moreover, An Zaili was proactive and hardworking in his dealings with the Xu family, who came to accept him.

After the couple graduated, they held their wedding, and soon after, Xu Zhen became pregnant.

At the same time, Du Xinlan also became pregnant, with twins no less.

She began urging An Zaili to take over the Xu Family soon, turning it into the An Family and making herself Mrs. An.

However, An Zaili pacified her, saying things were not so simple and asked her not to rush.

Naturally, Du Xinlan felt uneasy. Once when she went to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup, she happened to encounter Mrs. Mu there for a prenatal examination.

Worried she might never become Mrs. An and because her due date was close to Mrs. Mu’s, she then hatched a plan to switch the babies later.

As her due date approached, she kept tabs on Mrs. Mu’s condition. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mu went into labor, while Du Xinlan showed no signs of labor.

She had a doctor prearranged to administer labor-inducing drugs to speed up her birthing process, and she gave birth to both children at home.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mu also gave birth to a daughter.

Du Xinlan then pleaded with Yang Suhua to switch the babies.

She argued that life is never smooth, that the Xu family, being a minor wealthy family, might face bankruptcy easily. By switching the babies now, they could hold the Mu family’s fortune in their hands in the future, which would be advantageous however you look at it.

Thinking of what was best for An Zaili, Yang Suhua agreed, feeling Du Xinlan made sense. Moreover, she had watched Du Xinlan grow up and knowing how she had endured indignities waiting for her son for so many years, she steeled her heart, picked up the newborn eldest child, and headed to the hospital.

Taking advantage of the absence of the doctors and nurses, she switched the babies.

Newborns all look quite similar, and since there were no distinctive marks on either child, Yang Suhua was somewhat relieved.

Having taken the true heir of the Mu family, Yang Suhua didn’t know what to do next.

Du Xinlan said she wouldn’t raise someone else’s child, especially not wanting to see Xu Zhen’s child, since it was her man’s child with another woman.

Yang Suhua was deeply shocked; she called An Zaili and explained the situation.

An Zaili hurried over, only to discover the terrible thing these two women had done behind her back.

Xu Zhen had not yet gone into labor; she urged An Zaili to deal with Xu Zhen, by any means necessary, to ensure both Xu Zhen and the child died.

An Zaili’s intentions towards Xu Zhen were impure, but he had never considered taking their lives.

Du Xinlan threatened An Zaili, saying that if he did not comply, they would both be destroyed.

That night, An Zaili took Xu Zhen out, and a car came hurtling directly towards the passenger side.

Xu Zhen bled on the spot; she grabbed An Zaili’s hand, hoping he would save their child.

An Zaili’s heart softened, and he saved Xu Zhen.

After emergency treatment, both Xu Zhen and the child were out of danger.

Du Xinlan was burning with rage, she switched Xu Zhen’s child with the Mu Family heiress; she wanted to make sure Xu Zhen would never see her biological daughter in this lifetime.

This unfortunate child was thrown by Du Xinlan into a Tibetan Mastiff den as soon as she was born. The infant had just started crying when a mastiff bit her neck, and Du Xinlan watched as the baby was torn apart by the mastiff before she left.

For the next two years, An Zaili refused to see Du Xinlan because of this incident, finding her too cruel.

However, the two had children together and shared secrets unknown to others, so An Zaili couldn’t completely sever their relationship.

As time passed, they gradually forgot this unhappiness and became inseparable once again.

When the Mu Family heiress was five years old, Du Xinlan could no longer bear such a life; she wanted to be Mrs. An openly and honorably.

Thus, the two conspired to drug Xu Zhen, then faked her illness to seize the Xu Family’s fortune. Father Xu, in a surge of anger, suffered a fatal heart attack, and Mother Xu was tormented in an asylum.

As for the real Mu Family heiress, she was sent to the countryside, not eliminated because they feared some future calamity could befall the An Family and they might need her to negotiate a large sum; moreover, her engagement had been arranged with Old Master Fu, so she was still useful.

As for the fake Mu Family heiress An Yingying, ever since she discovered she was not the Mu Family’s child, she had been particularly vigilant towards people getting close to her.

She was smart and quickly ascertained that An Zaili and Du Xinlan were her biological parents.

She hoped they would not disrupt the current rhythm; one day she would assist the An Family.

This promise was long drawn out as the members of the An Family died one by one.

An Yan, having heard this, felt that Du Xinlan’s death was too easy.

The entire An Family had lost their moral compass, utterly shameless.

Mu Boyan’s lips were tightly pursed, his fists clenched. After a long moment, he said, "You truly deserve to die."

Yang Suhua’s eyes widened in terror, "You said that as long as I told the truth, you would ensure my safety."

Mu Boyan, standing up with An Yan, said, "We did say that; you can go to prison now, it’s safe there."

"No, please! I’m too old to go to jail!" Yang Suhua pleaded desperately.

An Yan said coldly, "Everyone must pay the price for their actions."

Yang Suhua shook her head violently, "I don’t want to go to jail, I don’t want to; please have mercy."

Mu Boyan narrowed his eyes, "Not going to jail is also an option. There’s a place that suits you better, Mrs. Xu would be very eager to meet you."

Yang Suhua screamed in shock, "I won’t go to the insane asylum, I won’t, no, no no no no..."

He led An Yan toward the door, which suddenly opened.

Fu Shiyan was standing there, his gaze resting on Mu Boyan’s hands.

His eyes were bloodshot, a rage contained within his chest, "Second Young Master Mu, she is my wife, this is inappropriate. Yanyan, come here."

An Yan looked at him indifferently, "Mr. Fu, I have already drafted the divorce papers. All you need to do is sign them."

Fu Shiyan felt a sweet, bloody taste in his throat, "Is it because of him?"

An Yan turned to Mu Boyan, "You should wait for me in the lobby."

Mu Boyan nodded, casting a glance at Fu Shiyan before leaving.

Fu Shiyan grabbed An Yan’s wrist. An Yan did not struggle, letting the man lead her toward the stairwell.

With a clang, the safety door closed.

Fu Shiyan grabbed An Yan’s shoulders, took a deep breath, "Yanyan, just say you two have nothing to do with each other, and I will believe you."
