I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

662 He’s the Murderer

Song Ci was very calm. “If it’s for the sake of money, I wouldn’t have to. After all, I’m going to be engaged to Young Master Lu. Why would I be worried about not having money?”

Lu Gan nodded. “My money is her money.”

Song Ci shrugged. “You see what I’m talking about.”

Everyone was speechless. Although they did not want to admit it, Little Ci did not seem to have any reason to kill for money.

Lu Gan had the same attitude as Song Ci. “It’s definitely not me. With Old Master dead, the engagement can’t continue. It is my biggest loss. Besides, I never had the intention to kill Old Master. Otherwise, my father wouldn’t have especially reminded me.”

In the end, it was time to vote for the murderer.

Three minutes later, the staff collected everyone’s cards.

The netizens in the live-stream were even more nervous.

[Who is it? I’m very confused about this game. It could be anyone or no one. I’m so nervous!]

[I’m guessing it was Madam Ji who killed Old Master.]

[The Third Young Master, Di Cheng, is also very suspicious. Is he really an innocent nineteen-year-old teenager? He’s so young and impetuous at his age. He can’t take anger. He’s the most likely to kill someone!]

[I think CEO Lu and Song Ci are also very suspicious…]

Amidst the anxious anticipation of the audience and guests, the staff finally finished reading the results of everyone’s guess of the murderer and said unhurriedly, “I hereby announce the result of this murder — a fail! The murderer has escaped and won this round.”

The guests present looked at each other. “Wasn’t it Madam Ji who killed Old Master?”

“So who’s the real murderer?” Second Young Miss Xu Qin asked.

“It’s me.” Lu Gan raised his hand.

“Didn’t you want to get engaged?”

Netizens were shocked.

Song Ci laughed. “I guessed that you’re my father’s murderer, as he never intended to give me an inheritance.”

“That’s right.” Lu Gan nodded. “Old Master was going to write his will today, and I didn’t want Little Ci to be sad. Although I’m not happy we can’t get engaged today, I know there will be a chance in the future. However, if Old Master didn’t die today, Little Ci would forever lose her inheritance and know that her father didn’t care about her. Then I’ll definitely care more about her feelings.”

However, Lu Gan still asked the question he was most concerned about. “So, after the banquet, Little Ci and I will still get engaged, right?”

Xie Chuan said mercilessly, “You murderer, go to jail!”

“Hahaha.” The guests laughed again.

Lu Gan sighed and looked at Song Ci with regret. “It looks like we’ll have to postpone our engagement.”

“This is your punishment for being impulsive. You can’t kill anyone. Understand? ” Song Ci sublimated the topic.

“I understand.” Lu Gan was very cooperative.

It was already past 7 p.m. when they were done with the script. Ji Yue and Xie Chuan prepared food for all. Together with the special guests, everyone had a lively meal and was very satisfied.

When the director announced the end of the recording, everyone was finally able to head back to their rooms and rest.

Song Ci had just returned to her room when she heard a knock at her door. She opened the door and saw that it was indeed Lu Gan. “Why are you knocking on my door so late at night instead of sleeping?” Song Ci leaned against the door frame and smiled.

Lu Gan walked in. “Isn’t it time for bed? That’s why I knocked on your door.”

Song Ci closed the door. “You seem to have a good time today.”

“Doesn’t that make you happy?” Lu Gan asked.

Song Ci snorted. “How can I be happier than our Young Master Lu? Darling… Baby… My wife… I don’t see you calling me that while I’m at home. Today, you didn’t leave a single one behind and called me that in different ways.”

Lu Qian could not help but laugh. He leaned closer and hugged her. “I was just trying to fit the persona.”

“Do you think I believe you?” Song Ci rolled her eyes.

“Trust me.” Lu Gan blinked at her.

Song Ci was amused by his fawning actions and said in a low voice, “Aren’t you afraid of being seen through?”

Lu Qian said nonchalantly, “Then we’ll admit it. We’re official anyway.”

“How official?” Song Ci asked.

Lu Qian smiled. “With the Civil Affairs Bureau, of course.”

Song Ci laughed.

Lu Gan took the opportunity to hold her tighter and pressed his forehead against hers. “I really do want to get engaged to you, though.”

Song Ci’s heart softened. She slowly raised her eyes and said softly, “But we’re already married.”

“Yeah…” Lu Gan said gently, “We’re already married.”

Song Ci’s face could not help but burn.

As there were no cameras or anyone else in the room, they did not need to be on guard. They could express their feelings without scruples as if they were in private.

After the kiss, Lu Gan picked Song Ci up and walked toward the bed.

“You’re not really planning to sleep here tonight, are you?” Song Ci asked in surprise.

Lu Gan hugged her and let her sit on his lap. “What do you think?”
