The Rest of My Life

Originally, Zhou Xun had stayed in New York to accompany me. In fact, he had accumulated some things in his hands and needed to return home to take care of them personally. Since he had accompanied me here for so long, I was truly pleasantly surprised.

What made me even happier was that his gunshot wound was almost healed and he was already scarring.

He was hiding the matter of his injuries from Grandpa Zhou. Previously, he was afraid of exposing himself, but now he's basically recovered. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to tell anything from his appearance.

It was a dozen hours, but not as boring as last time.

Because he had Zhou Xun by his side.

When the delegation saw Zhou Xun, they were somewhat surprised. I didn't introduce him specifically, but I think everyone knows him. A few girls were quietly sizing him up. It was unknown if they were curious or harboring other thoughts.

I didn't feel anything, since Zhou Xun was the center of attention wherever he went, and he wasn't the kind of person to cause trouble for a woman.

Compared to those little girls he didn't know, it was naturally Qin Xueman and Bei Bei who were more dangerous.

However, I stroked my belly. There was a little person here that both Zhou Xun and I were looking forward to.

I think I should be more confident.

When we arrived at the airport, it was already morning. The weather was very good, and the warm winter sun covered the entire airport. My mood couldn't help but brighten up.

Zhou Xun led me off the plane. There was already a car waiting in the parking lot.

But when we arrived at the exit, we saw Wu Dun's group of reporters holding onto their short guns and directly rushing towards us.

The spotlight flashed on and off.

A reporter put the microphone in front of me and asked, "May I ask what your relationship with Gong Shan's death is?"

So they were targeting Gong Shan's case.

In the past half month, the news from the internet had been removed, but this only made it more secretive. It was no wonder that these reporters had rushed over to surround them.

I didn't say anything.

At a time like this, no matter what I say, the media might be able to magnify the interpretation, making things even more uncontrollable.

Fortunately, Zhou Ning and his bodyguards immediately separated the reporters. The Zhou family also sent someone to pick us up. We quickly threw the reporters off and got into the car to return to the Zhou Mansion.

It took more than an hour to get from the airport to the old house. I lazily leaned on Zhou Xun because I had slept too long on the plane. I wasn't sleepy, but I was bored.

Zhou Xun simply turned on the television in the car.

A piece of news was being broadcasted live. When I looked at it, I was stunned.

The person who appeared on the live broadcast was Aunt Zhou.

The reporter surrounded her and asked her for her opinion on the alleged murder of her daughter-in-law.

Aunt Zhou faced the camera and said indignantly, "I, personally, would never tolerate such a criminal act. Neither would our Zhou family. Rest assured everyone, we will definitely give the public an explanation! "

After that, I didn't have the mood to continue watching.

I was stunned.

Auntie Zhou, she … They actually came back to the country. It seemed like they were on the same flight as us.

In the past ten or so hours, she endured the temptation to find trouble with Zhou Xun and me, probably because of this scene at the airport.

Those reporters should have been hired by her.

I thought back to her tone. She had almost decided I was a murderer, and she said she wouldn't let me go.

She just wanted to kick me out of the Zhou family.

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

He frowned and said: "Let her mess."

"Don't worry about it?" I was surprised.

I don't care, but Zhou Xun will protect me. However, Aunt Zhou's nonsense, coupled with the media's unrestrained publicity, would probably affect the reputation of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xun pinched my nose and said, "Without my grandfather's tacit approval, the media would not dare to report it. Since it's already broadcast, it should be fine."

I was more and more surprised.

In other words, not only did Grandpa Zhou know that Auntie Zhou was spouting nonsense in front of the media, he even tacitly consented to her actions?

Why is that?

Grandpa Zhou can't possibly be targeting me, right?

Not to mention that my engagement to Zhou Xun was facilitated by his esteemed self, even if he didn't agree to be with Zhou Xun, he could have just given Zhou Xun an order. Why go through so much trouble, and could even affect the prestige of the Zhou Family?

The corners of Zhou Xun's lips curled up as he said, "Actually, it's to confuse the real culprit."

The real culprits were those mercenaries, who were also the ones directing Gong Shan.

I understood instantly.

Push the Zhou family to the heart of the matter, and let them let their guard down. The other party might even add fuel to the fire by attacking the Zhou family, and at that time, the Zhou family would catch hold of their tail.

Seeing that I understood, Zhou Xun smiled as he touched my face and then leaned over to kiss me, as if praising my intelligence.

Me: "…"

He always felt that after he confessed to me, he would like to praise me more and touch me more intimately.

Especially after he learned that I was pregnant, he became even more determined to come and kiss me almost every moment of the day.

Of course I was glad of his change.

I almost had the illusion that we were a couple in love, and I felt nothing but sweetness in my heart.

Grandpa Zhou was very happy when he returned to the Zhou Mansion.

I noticed that there were two other men in the hall who looked a little like Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun pointed at one of the men with a serious expression and said, "This is Big Brother." Ye Zichen pointed at the other man, who was smiling so much that he couldn't even see his eyes, "This is second brother."

The three brothers were about the same height with similar facial features. They were all very handsome and looked like triplets.

However, everyone's temperament was very different.

The eldest brother was not smiling, but the second brother was always smiling with his eyes half-lidded. Zhou Xun's temperament was much clearer, like an elegant young master.

I hurriedly called out 'big brother' and 'second brother'.

Rui Rui jumped into Brother Zhou's arms.

I noticed that Big Brother Zhou didn't bring the woman back, and I didn't know if Rui's new mother was real or not.

Brother Zhou was busy being intimate with Rui Rui. Second Brother and Zhou Xun were chatting, while Grandpa Zhou was beaming at them. In the entire house, only Zhou Xun and his family were there, the atmosphere was especially good.

From time to time, Rui Rui's childish words and his cheerful laughter could be heard in the hall. It was as if the whole house had come alive.

Although Grandpa Zhou didn't say anything, he looked to be in a good mood.

He smiled as he looked at the wall opposite him. It was as if he had suddenly recalled something. It was unknown if he was thinking of Zhou Xun's grandmother …

Unfortunately, this lively atmosphere didn't last long before it was quickly broken by someone.

Auntie Zhou brought a whole family to the Zhou Mansion.

When the servant came to report, Grandpa Zhou's eyes turned sharp.

Instead of letting Auntie Zhou in, he got up and walked slowly to the door.

Auntie Zhou's car was in the yard. Seeing her grandfather's appearance, Auntie Zhou immediately burst into tears. "Dad, I know I was wrong!"

Grandpa Zhou looked at her with an expressionless face, not saying a word.

Maybe it was because Grandpa Zhou's expression was too scary, but Auntie Zhou plopped to her knees and sobbed, "Please forgive me this time …"

Behind her, Uncle Zhou and her two sons also knelt down.

I thought it was weird. Aunt Zhou was obviously gloating and targeting me at the airport not long ago, but now she's come to ask Grandpa Zhou for forgiveness …

What had happened?

I looked over at Zhou Xun.

His expression was calm, as if he had already expected that Auntie Zhou would come and beg for forgiveness.

I was more and more surprised.

Second Brother Zhou, who was standing beside me, seemed to have noticed my doubt and whispered, "Grandfather knew that aunt would look for trouble with you and Ah Xun in New York, so he was angered and directly called uncle, saying that he wanted to cut off his relationship with aunt's father and daughter."
