The Rest of My Life

Upon hearing these words, the entire room fell silent once more.

Zhou Xun wanted to draw a clear line between himself and his aunt, and use a small life to repay the favor of raising her.

The first thing I do is go see Grandpa Zhou.

The old man's face was as heavy as water, but he did not make a sound to stop them.

At first, Aunt Zhou was stupefied, and only after a long while did she react. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Zhou Xun and said: "Say that again?!"

Zhou Xun knelt straight in front of her, looking up at her, "In the future, I will treat you as an ordinary relative. If you are unwilling, then treat it as if I don't have such an aunt."

His tone was gentle and his face was calm, but everyone could tell that he wasn't joking.

Auntie Zhou was dumbfounded as she stared at him in disbelief.

Actually, I was also very surprised.

His previous attitude of respect and indulgence towards Auntie Zhou had suddenly changed. Aunt Zhou definitely could not accept this.

Sure enough, after Aunt Zhou came back to her senses, she rushed over to him like a madman and gave him a fierce slap: "You ingrate!" "I used to treat you so well, but you actually broke all ties with me for a woman!"

Not only did she curse and curse, she even punched and kicked Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun's knee was kicked a few times with the tip of his shoe.

Zhou Xun did not even frown.

He didn't want to resist, but Grandpa Zhou couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he told the guard to drag Aunt Zhou away.

Auntie Zhou screamed at the top of her lungs, "Dad, you heard it too! Ah Xun doesn't recognize me as his aunt! "Why are you still helping him?!"

Grandpa Zhou ignored her.

Zhou Xun didn't even look at her. He changed directions and knelt in front of Grandpa Zhou. "Grandfather, if you feel that I did wrong, I can leave the Zhou Mansion with this thought."

Yet another heaven-shaking thunderbolt.

His meaning was obvious. He wanted Grandpa Zhou to choose between him and Aunt Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou stared at him without saying a word.

Aunt Zhou was probably really angry this time. She clutched her chest, her face ashen as she pointed at Zhou Xun, unable to utter a sound.

The young woman immediately held her and asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Auntie Zhou screamed twice, but she still couldn't speak.

Little Wan choked with sobs, "Is your chest uncomfortable? Is it a heart attack again? "

Perhaps it was her words that reminded Auntie Zhou, but she unexpectedly sat down on the ground. The woman who had been supporting Auntie Zhou on her arm was now dragged to the ground by her.

The young wench cried and shouted, "Mom, mom, are you alright?"

Auntie Zhou did not seem to hear what she was saying. She stared blankly at Zhou Xun as tears streamed down her face. However, she did not say a single word.

Uncle Zhou and his two sons immediately came forward. Uncle Zhou held her in his arms and gave her some comfort. "Don't be angry. If you're angry, your chest will hurt. The one feeling uncomfortable is you."

Auntie Zhou suddenly burst into tears.

It was as if his heart had been broken.

All that was left in the room were her mournful wails and Uncle Zhou's soothing voice.

Xiao Wan suddenly knelt in front of Zhou Xun, begging him with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, please take back what you just said …" "No matter what, aunty did it for your own good …"

Zhou Xun didn't even look at her.

He silently kneeled in front of Grandpa Zhou, waiting for Grandpa Zhou to speak.

Grandpa Zhou said, "Ah Xun, get up first."

Zhou Xun nodded and stood up.

"You are the third young master of the Zhou family. Let's see who dares to kick you out of the Zhou family!" Grandpa Zhou said loudly.

His meaning was obvious. Between Zhou Xun and his aunt, he would choose Zhou Xun.

Uncle Zhou's expression changed drastically.

Aunt Zhou's reaction was especially intense. She forcefully pushed Uncle Zhou and her two sons away, crawled to Grandpa Zhou's side, and hugged his feet without caring about their image. She sobbed, "Dad, how could you be so heartless. Am I not your daughter?"

"Having a cold-blooded daughter like you is my shame!" Grandpa Zhou sneered and ordered the guard, "Chase that family out. In the future, don't let them in the Zhou family's door!"

His face was filled with dignity. It did not seem like he was trying to scare people, but rather, he was truly angry.

Auntie Zhou was at a loss for words as she fell limply to the ground.

The security guards surrounded Aunt Zhou's family and dragged them out.

Auntie Zhou finally reacted and hugged Grandpa Zhou's leg again, wailing miserably, "Dad, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! "Please forgive me this time. In the future, I will no longer care about Ah Xun's matters!"

It was a pity that Grandpa Zhou didn't even give her a glance.

He turned to Zhou Xun and said, "Take good care of your wife these few days. With your second uncle here, you don't have to worry about anything else."

Zhou Xun quickly responded in a low voice.

Grandpa Zhou turned around. Aunt Zhou was still hugging his leg, but he ignored her and walked out.

Auntie Zhou crawled behind him, crying until her throat was hoarse. "Dad, I know I was wrong …" I promise I will never interfere with Ah Xun's business again. It was because I lost my head and didn't know what to do … "You should forgive me for bringing Ah Xun along, okay?" After saying that, she turned around to look at Zhou Xun and cried out, "Ah Xun, aunty was just muddle-headed. Please help me talk to grandpa …"

Zhou Xun remained silent and did not move.

Auntie Zhou could only continue to hold Grandpa Zhou's feet and sobbed, "Are you really that heartless …" Before Mom passed away, let me be filial to you … "If you kick me out of the Zhou family, how would I have the chance to show you filial piety …"

Even Grandma Zhou had been carried out. It seemed that she was indeed afraid.

At this time, Grandpa Zhou had already reached the door of the room, but stopped when he heard this.

He lowered his head and stared at Aunt Zhou, saying, "It's not impossible for me to forgive you. Kneel at Ah Xun's door, no matter how long his wife kneels. Kneel as long as you want …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Little Night had already kneeled down in front of him, "Grandfather, Mother has a heart attack … "Why don't you let me make her kneel for her.

Grandpa Zhou looked at her amiably. "No."

The little night was stunned.

Grandpa Zhou turned to Aunt Zhou and said, "If you're willing, then you should stay at the Zhou Mansion. If you're not, then get out."

His tone was flat, but it carried a sense of solemnity and solemnity that could not be refused.

No one dared to plead with him again.

I couldn't help looking over at Zhou Xun. Why didn't he say anything?

Aunt Zhou was kneeling outside her nephew's door. If this were to spread out, who knew what would happen to everyone. If I were Zhou Xun, I would try to dissuade him. However, Zhou Xun's thoughts had always been hard to predict. He probably had his own considerations.

I pretended to be deaf and mute.

Auntie Zhou was on the verge of fainting.

However, Grandpa Zhou seemed to be determined to punish her. Even though her face was as pale as paper, she didn't change her mind.

However, Auntie Zhou was probably unwilling or embarrassed, and did not make a move for a while.

The atmosphere turned tense.

Grandpa Zhou sneered. He glanced at Uncle Wang, signaled for him to deal with the matter, and went out the door.

Aunt Zhou clenched her teeth and followed him.

But perhaps it was because she had knelt for too long, she staggered the moment she got up, and Little Night immediately went forward to support her.

She chased after Grandpa Zhou and whispered, "Dad, I'll listen to you."

She knelt in the doorway.

The moment she did so, the young woman quickly followed suit, and her two sons knelt beside her.

Grandpa Zhou said lightly, "Then just kneel."

Auntie Zhou seemed disappointed, but after learning her lesson, she did not make any more noise.

Little Night held her arm in pain and sobbed softly.

Grandpa Zhou didn't pay any more attention to them and started walking down the stairs.

Before he left, he had the door closed.

So I didn't see what happened to Auntie Zhou after that. I could only hear the sound of Little Night's crying coming in.

I hadn't fully recovered yet.

Last night, my aunt was so high up in the sky that she ordered me to kneel down before her. Just now, when she angrily charged in to cause trouble for me, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Xun and she were cut off from each other. Grandpa Zhou even severely punished her, making her kneel outside the door …

This change was too fast!

And all of this was caused by my 'miscarriage' …

I turned to look at Zhou Xun.

He was standing not far away, lost in thought as he looked out of the window. His face was calm, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

I followed his gaze.

The autumn sun was high in the sky, but perhaps it was because of the rain last night, the leaves on the treetops swayed in the wind, carrying with them a sense of desolation and hopelessness.

What was he looking at?

A trace of unease arose in my heart. I couldn't help but call out to him softly. "Uncle Zhou."

Only then did Zhou Xun look away. He looked at me and approached me.

I held his hand and whispered, "Aunt is still outside …"

He grabs me back, but he doesn't answer.

Actually, what I want to ask is, do you want your aunt to just keep kneeling like this?

But as the words came out of my mouth, I swallowed them back.

If, at this moment, I did not understand his intentions, then I would not have to stay with him.

He used my miscarriage as a raft against Auntie Zhou.

As expected, Auntie Zhou was like a frosted eggplant today. She no longer had her usual arrogance.

I thought of his patience, his indulgence and respect for Auntie Zhou …

So, from the moment he saw Auntie Zhou, he had been planning, right?

In the eyes of outsiders, he treated Aunt Zhou as his own mother, he always remembers her kindness to him, and he also forced me to treat Aunt Zhou with respect.

Even if it was his own son, it probably wouldn't be to this extent.

The first time Auntie Zhou punished me to kneel, he knelt in my place. Firstly, he showed her how much he valued me, and secondly, he let everyone know that even if Auntie Zhou made trouble without reason, he would not disobey her.

Then he closed the door and talked to me. His purpose was to be filial and respectful to Aunt Zhou.

As for me, I couldn't bear to leave him, so I was provoked by Little Night. In the end, I made up my mind that no matter what Aunt Zhou said or did, I would do it according to his request.

The next day he left me alone with Auntie Zhou. He knew her temper and knew that Aunt Zhou would not let him go. Sure enough, Aunt Zhou found fault with me again and made me kneel. And I thought to endure it, so I silently resisted, and even knelt until the middle of the night.

It was also because I knelt for a few hours that I got the chance to 'miscarry' …

Whether it was Aunt Zhou's personality or my determination, or even the possibility of her coming to provoke me, he had deliberately and tacitly allowed her to do so.

Everything had been planned by him!

He was truly shrewd and astute, winning step by step.

But... After all, this was the Zhou family. Under Grandpa Zhou's watch, he could deceive servants and subordinates, but could he deceive Grandpa Zhou?

I asked worriedly, "Was it a diagnosis made by my family's doctor?" Would he expose the fact that he had miscarried? Did Grandpa ask you anything? "

Zhou Xun did not expect me to ask this many questions, and he was stunned.

He looked at me deeply for a few seconds, as if he was sighing with emotion or admiration, and said, "Darling, you really know everything."

I smiled at him, but I was still worried.

He was just afraid that Grandpa Zhou would think that he was being too scheming, and then he would turn his back on him …

However, Zhou Xun smiled as he brushed the hair on my forehead and pushed the hair on the side of my face behind my ear. He said slowly, "Don't worry. Grandfather knows."

I exclaimed, "Grandpa knows that I didn't miscarry?!"
