The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "I have discussed this matter with grandfather beforehand."

I was completely stunned.

Just now, I was crying in front of Grandpa Zhou as if I had really miscarried, but Grandpa Zhou was the one who knew … I couldn't help but blush and feel embarrassed.

Zhou Xun laughed and stroked my hair. "It's fine. Grandfather will definitely think that I was the one who ordered it. You don't need to take it to heart."

My cheeks are getting hotter. No matter what, acting in front of the elders and crying so exaggeratedly … Fortunately, Grandpa Zhou didn't expose me.

Zhou Xun paused for a moment, before saying: "Last night, my grandfather and I had some business as an excuse, and purposefully did not come back."

I started, then understood.

Aunt Zhou punished me to kneel until Zhou Xun returned home, and in order to keep me kneeling, Zhou Xun and Grandpa Zhou were outside the house … Afterwards, Uncle Wang came in the middle of the night to persuade me to go back to my room. After all, I've been on my knees for seven hours.

It was truly linked, there was nothing left to be overlooked.

I looked at Zhou Xun with a complicated expression, unable to say what it felt like.

Zhou Xun clenched his fingers and softly said, "It was all because of you …"

I shook my head.

Kneeling from the afternoon till midnight was indeed a difficult task. My knees still throbbed faintly, and I didn't know when they would recover.

However, I also know that this is the only way for Zhou Xun to draw a clear line between himself and Aunt Zhou.

So my suffering was not in vain, at least Aunt Zhou would never find fault with me for no reason, never punish me as she did yesterday.

I'm more concerned about Grandpa Zhou's attitude.

He actually allowed Zhou Xun and Aunt Zhou to break up with him …

I couldn't help but ask, "Why would Grandpa agree to this?"

Zhou Xun's eyes were deep and serene as he looked at me. "You've asked me about a crucial point." He smiled slightly. "Darling, you've always been very smart, why don't you guess first?"

I don't know much about the Zhou family, so how am I supposed to guess?

I muttered to myself, lost in thought.

Although Aunt Zhou was overbearing and selfish, she still cared a lot about Zhou Xun. After all, it couldn't be that she wanted to interfere in Zhou Xun's marriage, or that she wanted to make Zhou Xun kneel once. Grandpa Zhou couldn't bear to continue watching, so he agreed to what Zhou Xun had to do, right?

Just now, Zhou Xun had used the words' grudges against each other '. This meant that in the future, Aunt Zhou and him would only go further and further away. More importantly, Aunt Zhou would never be able to run amuck in the Zhou Mansion like this.

Suddenly, I thought of the position of Zhou Family Patriarch …

Could it be that Aunt Zhou was also coveting this position?

No, since she was married off to a daughter, she shouldn't have such thoughts. She should have thought highly of or supported someone in the Zhou family.

I thought about her insistence on marrying Zhou Xun...

So, she was in favor of Zhou Xun?

If that was the case, then her target was Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa Zhou shouldn't have stopped her.

Unless... She had done something too excessive, causing Grandpa Zhou and Zhou Xun to be unable to endure it any longer.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hold onto Zhou Xun's hand tightly. "What did Aunt Zhou do?" I mean, is she involved in the fight for the family head... Does she want to become the head of the Zhou Family? "

Zhou Xun looked down at the hand I was holding with him and didn't say anything for a long time.

I was stunned. Am I wrong?

But very quickly, I saw Zhou Xun staring straight at me with a smile in his eyes. "You guessed right. She was indeed involved in this matter … If it wasn't for that, Grandpa wouldn't be disappointed in her. "

The admiration in his eyes deepened, and I shyly avoided his gaze, thinking, So it is.

Although Auntie Zhou was the daughter of Grandpa Zhou, once she married someone, her relationship with the Zhou family would go far if Grandpa Zhou died in the future. Therefore, she had to build a good relationship with the future head of the Zhou family.

So I wasn't surprised that she was involved.

Zhou Xun replied, "But the one she is supporting is not me."

I stared at him, stunned.

His warm fingers caressed the corners of my eyes. With a helpless tone, he said, "The one she supports is second uncle."

I was astonished.

Then, he thought of the fact that Aunt Zhou and Uncle Tuesday were siblings, and he understood their support.

But if she was supporting Second Uncle, why did she marry Second Uncle to Zhou Xun? Second Uncle's eldest son was about the same age as me and was said to be an officer.

Zhou Xun seemed to understand my doubts and carefully analyzed them with me.

It turned out that after Aunt Zhou saw that Grandpa Zhou liked Zhou Xun, she wanted to rope him in so he could support Uncle Tuesday as well. On the surface, she said that Little Night had a gentle personality and was able to take care of Zhou Xun. However, in reality, she was relying on her previous friendship to make Zhou Xun compromise.

Originally, if she had only mentioned him, it would have been fine. However, at that time, she had used her death to force Zhou Xun to marry her.

Zhou Xun happened to find traces of the mercenary leader Wolf, so he hid from Flower Landing.

However, Aunty Zhou did not stop. She had originally planned to slowly soften Zhou Xun's marriage, but in the end Zhou Xun had secretly engaged to Gu Qiong.

After learning of this, Auntie Zhou directly brought people to find fault with GuQiong.

However, Gu Qiong was also a formidable person. She scoffed at Aunt Zhou, calling her an old and disrespectful person.

The two of them reprimanded each other for a while before they started to fight. They even almost used their guns on each other.

Fortunately, the restaurant was owned by Zhou Xun, and the Zhou family had arrived in time to avoid any rumors.

However, because of this, Zhou Xun and GuQiong's marriage was over.

When I heard this, I was shocked beyond words.

Previously, I was wondering who would win if Aunt Zhou and GuQiong were to meet. I didn't expect that the two of them would have already fought.

It was the result of both sides suffering.

On the surface, it was obvious that Gu Qiuyu had lost. After all, Zhou Xun had complied with Aunt Zhou's wishes and annulled the engagement with her.

However, the truth was that because of this, Aunt Zhou had made up her mind to split up with Zhou Xun, and even Grandpa Zhou had sided with her.

And this happened last year and a half, just as I was on my way back to the Flowers.

So that was the reason why he was in such a hurry to get back to the capital?

Then I thought about how he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend when he returned to the flower garden... He must have made up his mind at that time to keep his distance from Auntie Zhou …

Zhou Xun looked at me and said, "I had originally wanted to break off the engagement with the Gu family. Grandfather also agreed, saying that the Gu family had done a lot of private things in the past few years, so it's better that they don't seek trouble. My aunt made a ruckus, which gave me an excuse to end the engagement. However … "Because of this, Grandfather and I both felt that we can't let Auntie Zhou continue to make trouble like this …"

I thought of Auntie Zhou crying and making a scene, and I also had a lingering fear.

She had gone too far.

Unfortunately, she still had a heart attack. As long as it didn't suit her, she would continue to cause a ruckus.

However, it was impossible for Zhou Xun to not take a wife.

I can understand Zhou Xun's actions.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhou Xun's mouth curled up as he said, "At that time, I had thought of you …" "You were framed by Su Yan. I think you need someone to support you …"

That's why he chose me.

At this point, I still have to be grateful to him, it is he who helped me settle a lot of things.

He held my hand and gently said, "You are smarter than I thought. You are more suitable … "You're fine."

Is this a compliment?

Perhaps it was because he used me, afraid that I would think too much, that he praised me.

I smiled but didn't take it to heart.

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have had the chance to walk to his side and be chosen by him … So I was more thankful.

As for Auntie Zhou … I still understand her selfishness. It was a pity that she was too selfish and cold-blooded, treating Zhou Xun's marriage as child's play. It was like Zhou Xun was her personal property. Whatever she wanted him to do, he had to do.

But even his own mother would not do such a thing.

This time, Zhou Xun used my miscarriage to draw a clear line between himself and Aunty Zhou. In the future, I will no longer be restricted by Aunt Zhou. No matter if it is marriage or taking control of the Zhou family, I will no longer have to worry about Aunt Zhou …

I couldn't help but admire Zhou Xun and Grandpa Zhou for their foresight.

The one Aunt Zhou supported was Uncle Tuesday. If Zhou Xun took over the position of the family head, Aunt Zhou would definitely be in trouble. She might even force Zhou Xun to give up the position of family head. If Zhou Xun didn't agree, she would use kindness to suppress him, and if she had a heart attack, then it would definitely bring trouble to Zhou Xun.

Deep down, Grandpa Zhou would have passed away by then, and no one would be able to suppress Aunt Zhou. She would be even more domineering.

Now, taking advantage of Grandpa Zhou's unyielding attitude, he had completely taken care of this matter of Aunt Zhou. This would be of great help to Zhou Xun in the future, when he would successfully become the family head.

Since Grandpa Zhou wanted Zhou Xun to take control of the Zhou family, he definitely wouldn't let Aunt Zhou interfere. This would explain why Grandpa Zhou would stand on Zhou Xun's side.

At this thought, I suddenly felt some sympathy for Aunt Zhou.

She could tell that Grandpa Zhou liked Zhou Xun, but she could not see that he was actually Zhou Xun's subordinate. As a result, she jumped up and down, losing her favor with Grandpa Zhou.

I sighed. "I hope that Aunt Zhou will be able to teach me a lesson."

Zhou Xun acknowledged.

I thought about it and said, "Second Uncle's side..." Would he see anything? And, if you treat your aunt like this, will he be angry with you? "

Zhou Xun touched my face and said, "That won't happen. After all, Aunt has been too fierce these past two years …"

He hesitated, wanting to say something.

Did Auntie Zhou do something I couldn't know about?

I did not disturb him, but waited quietly for him to continue.

He frowned slightly and said, "Actually, aunt was also urged on by the Xiang Family … Second Uncle was clear on this point, so when my aunt and I cut off our relationship, he probably wouldn't say anything … He doesn't like it either. "

I was surprised.

The Xiang Family was Uncle Zhou's family. Could it be that they had done something against the Zhou Family's rules?

Zhou Xun was playing with my hands as he slowly said, "They used the name of the Zhou family to do some illegal business. Grandfather's delay made my big brother come out and talk to them … "It's probably because of this, they don't want Big Bro to take over the Zhou Family …"

His words were vague, but I understood what he meant.

The Xiang family definitely felt that as the elder brother of Aunt Zhou, if Aunt Zhou did anything wrong in the future, they would definitely not blame her.

I pondered and asked him, "Is it because Second Uncle doesn't like the Xiang family?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

It seemed that Second Uncle was still very clear-headed and did not blindly protect Aunt Zhou.

He just didn't know what Zhou Xun would think when he found out that Zhou Xun was his grandfather's subordinate …

However, Zhou Xun and Grandpa Zhou definitely knew what was going on. There was no need for me to worry.

Zhou Xun said softly, "Dad and Second Uncle are very close. If dad is still alive …"

He did not finish his sentence, and his expression was very gloomy.

If Zhou Quan's father was still here, then his father would definitely be supporting the family, so Zhou Xun wouldn't be needed.

I felt sorry for him and quickly changed the topic. "That's right, what if Aunt Zhou finds out about it from the doctor at home?"

Zhou Xun came back to his senses and looked at me. "If I can't handle this little matter well, then I don't need to be the Patriarch anymore."

Her eyes were filled with a domineering spirit.

I was stunned for a moment, my heart beating like a drum.
