The Rest of My Life

Zhou Xun had always kept a low profile. His sharpness, foresight, and shrewdness were all restrained. He was like a bright pearl covered in dust.

Only the domineering aura that he occasionally exuded was his true personality.

This is where I fall.

Perhaps seeing me in a daze, Zhou Xun chuckled and pinched my nose. "What are you looking at?"

How could I tell him that I saw him in a daze and hurriedly stammered, "No …" "I just feel that you're very powerful …"

The smile on Zhou Xun's face widened. "You only just found out?"

I couldn't help laughing, too, and said nothing, but rubbed my arm affectionately back and forth.

Zhou Xun chuckled as he held me in his arms.

I leaned against his chest and felt relieved.

Even though he used me today, I wasn't disappointed at all. The reason he came to me was to let me deal with Aunt Zhou, but now that he had achieved his goal, I was still happy.

Of course, he didn't discuss it with me, which made me uncomfortable.

But I guess he doesn't really trust me yet. He can only slowly make me feel like a person who can talk things through and make him trust me.

I thought aimlessly.

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said softly, "I'll be accompanying you for the next few days. When you're well, it'll almost be the start of school. I'll send you to report when the time comes."

My knee has been drugged. It's a skin wound, after all, and it should heal soon.

However, it was a miscarriage after all, so he should rest for a month, right?

I raised my doubts.

Zhou Xun smiled and replied, "It's alright. I'll accompany you, so no one else will say anything."

I nodded.

Then, I realized that Aunt Zhou was still kneeling outside the door. I couldn't help but say, "Auntie, she …"

I looked at the door.

Zhou Xun understood and stood up, "I'll go take a look."

Naturally, I have no objections.

The crying stopped, and no one knew what was going on. Although Grandpa Zhou told Aunt Zhou to kneel, she was still an elder, so it wasn't good for her to kneel here.

Zhou Xun walked out and even considerately closed the door, isolating himself from the commotion outside.

I didn't see Aunt Zhou's reaction, but that was good, too, so she wouldn't be angry with me.

The sunlight outside the window was getting brighter and brighter. I was finally able to get rid of Auntie Zhou, so I was relieved.

I was even happier at the thought of going to school.

After waiting for about half an hour, Zhou Xun didn't return to his room. I couldn't hear the door, so I got up and went to listen.

At that moment, I received a call from Jun Yao.

This surprised me.

Under normal circumstances, we would only contact each other on WeChat because it was an urgent matter.

I wondered what had happened and picked it up.

Just as the call connected, Teng Qingshan heard the urgent voice from the other side, "Remembering, you …." "Child …"

Her voice was urgent, but she was hesitating.

I immediately understood what she meant. She probably knew that I had miscarried and was afraid that I would be hurt, so she didn't dare to say those two words out loud.

But how did she know I had an abortion?

I quickly asked, "Where did you hear that from?"

She saw that I didn't deny it, so she must have understood what I meant. As she heard me, she became even more anxious, "You …" "Really …"

I made a sound of acknowledgment.

She seemed to be very shocked. After a few seconds, she said in a hoarse voice, "I also saw it in the WeChat group chat … It was a video called 'The Wealthy Class Wife Uncover the Secrets'... People post this sort of thing every day. Originally, I didn't pay attention to it, but I saw that the photo in the video was a bit like you, so I clicked on it … "The more I see, the more similar it looks. I'll quickly call you …"

I was stunned.

She actually saw it from the WeChat group?

I don't have many friends. Unless someone is looking for me, I usually don't read WeChat and the group is also very small.

This is why I often fall behind in information.

As she pondered, she continued, "I saw you kneel at first, but then you fainted …" Another voice said you had a miscarriage... I was very surprised and asked the people in the group where the video came from. In the end, they all said that this was the most popular video of the day, and it had long been spread … " She paused for a moment, then said, "I'll send you the video later …"

My heart thumped.

The news had spread?

Did it spread in the WeChat group?

This isn't impossible. I occasionally open up the group, but I can always see the same photos or messages in different groups. That is to say, the speed at which they spread is very fast …

However, she didn't hang up the phone. Her voice was still hoarse as she said, "You …" "Are you alright?"

There was unconcealable concern in his words.

She probably thought that I had miscarried, or that I had been bullied in the Zhou Mansion, so she was worried about me.

I was touched, but I couldn't tell her about the miscarriage.

After some thought, I said tactfully, "I'm fine now. Uncle Zhou is very guilty and treats me very well …" "Don't worry …"

I couldn't deny that I had miscarried, so I could only explain Zhou Xun's attitude. After all, I had been wronged, and Zhou Xun's guilt was understandable that he would treat me better.

After a moment of silence, she sighed and said, "Remembering. If something happens to you, you must not hold back. You must tell me …" "Even if I don't have much ability, it's still better for the two of us to hold it in than for you."

I replied softly.

She paused, then said, "If the video is real... I think you... Why don't you think about whether or not you want to stay in the Zhou Mansion … No matter how little is good on Wednesday, you still have to see... "Let's see if it fits …"

Although she was hesitating, I could hear her heartfelt feelings, and I felt my eyes go sour.

Only true friends would truly think for you.

She was right. Qi Dafu was not the right person. No matter how rich and powerful the Zhou family was, it still depended on whether I was lucky or not.

However, the relationship between me and Zhou Xun was a little complicated, so I couldn't explain it properly. I choked with sobs as I replied, "I will think it through carefully."

As if she was relieved, Li Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to see you …." "Can I?"

Are you worried about my situation?

The more I thought about it, the more moved I became. When I recalled that Zhou Xun did not stop me from going to the opening of Qingyao's gallery to celebrate, and that he probably did not mind me going out with Qingyao, I agreed.

After that, she instructed me once more and hung up the phone.

Not even half a minute later, WeChat rang.

I clicked on it. Li Yao had sent me several messages, including links, videos, and photos. All of them said: [The Wealthy Class Wife has unveiled secrets. You can't imagine the temptation.]

This title was indeed very attractive, no wonder it spread so quickly.

I took a closer look. The video was not very clear. It looked like it was a surveillance video, and it was even pieced together.

But the person inside was indeed me.

Anyone familiar with me should be able to tell. It was no wonder that Li Jun was in such a hurry.

I frowned.

Kneeling was before dinner the day before yesterday, and fainting in the middle of the night while miscarriage was this morning, about an hour ago … Who could edit and transmit the surveillance video in such a short period of time?

Furthermore, the Zhou family had always been strict in their management, so how could such an important surveillance video be so easily spread outside?

I thought about Grandpa's seventieth birthday, and the photo of my engagement to Zhou Xun was also posted online...

There were many guests on the day of the engagement ceremony, so it was understandable that there would be people taking photos. However, this time, it was the house's surveillance!

So, who was it, or what organization had the ability to spy on the Zhou family?

The last time I warned Zhou Xun, he should have been on his guard. With his personality, how could he let such a thing happen again?

There must be something behind this...

I couldn't help wondering if it was Aunt Zhou who did it.

Firstly, she didn't like me and wanted to chase me away. Secondly, she was a member of the Zhou family, and Zhou Xun had always respected her. Perhaps, he didn't notice her actions at all …

I was glad that I didn't have to be bothered by Auntie Zhou anymore, but this happened.

I don't care about anything else, since I don't have many friends and there's no one at home, so I'm not afraid of losing face. The only thing I'm afraid of is that the school... There were a lot of rumors about me in the school, and now that there's this video, I'm not sure how many people are discussing me … It was fine that they were secretly pointing fingers behind my back, but they were afraid that someone would deliberately come and humiliate me in front of me.

As for Teacher Tang and the other Senior Brothers, they would also probably be worried …

As I thought about this, I really hoped that Zhou Xun would appear soon. I also had someone to discuss with.

It was only until almost noon that Zhou Xun returned to his room.

I studied his face. He looked no different than he usually did.

He walked closer and whispered, "It will be lunch time soon. I'll get someone to bring the food up here."

I nodded and didn't immediately mention the matter of the video. Instead, I asked him, "Aunt, she … Is it still outside? "

He said, "Aunt fainted and was sent back to her room."

I stared.

Aunt Zhou, are you pretending to be unconscious again, or …

Zhou Xun seemed to see my doubt and said, "The doctor examined her. This time, it's true."

I think I understand. After all, she's always been rampant in the Zhou family, but this time Zhou Xun wanted to get even with her. Grandpa Zhou even wanted her to kneel in front of Zhou Xun's room … She was sure that she was not in a good mood. This way, it would easily cause her heart to feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhou Xun's tone was very calm, not at all like he was in a bad mood.

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then, what about you …? You want to take care of her? "

He shook his head and said, "Since we have already fallen out, there is no need to repair our relationship."

It looked like he was going to break all ties with Aunt Zhou.

I didn't say much.

Zhou Xun suddenly lifted up the blanket and the bed, hugging me tightly, he said, "When I was young, it was my aunt who was always bringing me around … She taught me to write with a pen, cooked green bean porridge for me in the summer, and dressed me in thick cotton clothes in the winter … "

He was lost in his memories.

I can understand his feelings, just like me, memories of my grandfather to me good scenes, no matter how will not forget.

Unfortunately, people can change, especially when driven by benefits.

For a moment I didn't know how to calm him, so I just wrapped my arms around his waist, kissed his face, and told him I was still there.

Afraid that he would be too sad, I thought about it and changed the topic. "Uncle Zhou, I have something to tell you."

Perhaps it was because my expression was too serious, but Zhou Xun was startled and immediately snapped back to reality, gesturing for me to continue.

I took out my cell phone and showed him the video.

Zhou Xun's expression slowly turned grim.

Did he not know about this?

That's not possible. The Zhou family and his men are all in charge of this area. They should be able to discover it in time, right?

Just as he wanted to ask, WeChat suddenly rang a few times.

The phone was still in Zhou Xun's hands, so I said, "Uncle Zhou, please open it for me."

There was no secret.

It turned out to be a group of people I hadn't contacted for a long time, including my high school classmates, my old friends, and a few people I had occasionally added to the university.

They sent me the video and added: [Is this you?]

All of them, without exception, were here to watch the show.
