The Rest of My Life

I was stunned.

Shen Ziwang He... Do you know what you're saying?

He actually said I was his aunt's daughter?!

I involuntarily looked over at Zhou Xun.

He was the only one I could rely on at this moment, and I had to turn to him.

His face was calm, as if he wasn't surprised.

I was surprised.

Did he already know about this?

I thought of the times he had hinted at me not to make a sound. Was it because he already knew Shen Zixian's plan?

Previously, Shen Zixian also said that he came to see me with Zhou Xun's permission.

Perhaps … The two of them had already discussed this a long time ago?

And the reason why Shen Zixian followed Aunt Zhou all the time was actually not because he colluded with Aunt Zhou, but to pave the way for what he was going to say next.

I feel like my head is spinning.

If Zhou Xun knew, why didn't he tell me earlier?

But now was not the time to pursue this issue.

Shen Zixian actually said that I'm his aunt's daughter... In other words, my mother was his aunt?

I am in a state of confusion and fear.

The rest of the people in the room also had stunned expressions on their faces. They were probably stunned as well.

Amid the eerie silence, Aunt Zhou suddenly screamed: "This is impossible, he must be lying! That's why he said that Su Nian Jun was his little sister! " She turned to Grandpa Zhou with a face full of indignation. "Dad, you can't be fooled!"

Grandpa Zhou looked at her coldly.

She seemed to shrink back a little, but she didn't become silent because of it. On the contrary, she became even more serious, casting a disgusted glance at Shen Zisheng and me, spitting once, she said, "An adulterous couple impersonating as siblings, this is too disgusting!"

I frowned.

No matter what, she was still the young miss of the Zhou family, but her words were so … So vulgar.

Grandpa Zhou's face darkened, and he gestured to the guard behind him: "Block her mouth."

Aunt Zhou was naturally unsatisfied and called out in dissatisfaction, "Dad, how can you treat me like this …"

But before she could finish, the guard covered her mouth.

She struggled violently and turned to look at Uncle Tuesday and Uncle Wednesday, probably to get them to plead with Grandpa Zhou.

But neither of them said anything.

The room once again quieted down. Shen Zisheng took a step towards me and said, "Look at the medical report in your hand, open the second page."

I froze and did so suspiciously.

The first page was my DNA and fingerprint, the second page was another person's DNA.

What did that mean?

I looked up at Shen Zixian.

Shen Zixian said, "Look at the next page."

I flipped to the third page. It turned out to be a DNA comparison between me and the person I just met. The similarity was greater than 99%.

That is to say, we must be blood relatives.

I stared at Shen Zixian in disbelief.

Shen Zixian slowly said, "What you see is my grandfather's DNA. I've compared it before, you and my grandfather are indeed blood-related."

I was shocked.

Shen Zixian's next words surprised me even more. "I've seen your mother's picture and it's very similar to my grandfather's."

He pulled out the picture of his grandfather and my mother.

When I took it, it really did look like it.

Available... Where did Shen Zixian get a picture of my mother?

Seemingly seeing my doubt, Shen Zixian said: "The picture of Aunt was taken by the task force when they went to your house to search for evidence."

It was true that the task force had been to the villa several times, and I had taken them to the storeroom for a search. I hadn't expected him to steal my mother's picture.

I thought about the time he asked me to go for a checkup. He probably did it on purpose. After all, how could an intern use DNA testing?

What made me even more speechless was that he'd just called his aunt, but I didn't think my mother was his aunt at all.

If his grandfather was my biological grandfather, then what about Flower Landing's grandfather?

Since I could remember, he had always taken care of me meticulously. He would take me to and from school, accompany me to the park, go to the amusement park, accompany me to do some manual work, and teach me the principles of life …

Then he died and gave it to my mother and me.

If it wasn't his own, why would he be so good to me and my mother?

From an emotional perspective, I simply cannot accept that there is another biological grandfather in this world.

Shen Zixian probably knew that my emotions were unstable and didn't continue persuading me. Instead, he passed the photos and DNA test to the others.

My mother and his grandfather do look alike.

However, there are many people who look alike in this world. I don't believe that things happen so coincidentally, that my mother can be the daughter of his grandfather …

But what about the DNA contrast?

Did Shen Zixian forge it?

But what was his purpose? What good would it do him or the Shen family if I became part of the Shen family?

Did he want to build a relationship with the Zhou family through me?

But in fact, the Shen family isn't that bad either. Although his father is just a merchant, his cousin holds great authority. There is no need for them to get involved with the Zhou family …

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and I felt as if my entire being had fallen into a state of confusion and helplessness.

At that moment Zhou Xun came over to me and gently put his arms around me.

I looked up at him.

He kissed me lightly on the forehead and whispered, "No matter who you are, you are still my wife."

With that one sentence, I instantly calmed down.

That's right, no matter what Shen Zixian's motive is, no matter if I'm from the Shen family or not, I'm already married to him, and I'm already the Zhou family's daughter-in-law.

Smelling Zhou Xun's familiar scent, I felt extremely at ease.

I slowly snuggled into his arms to relax.

The contrast between the picture and the DNA had been passed around, and everyone's faces revealed a thoughtful expression, as if they almost believed Shen Zixian's words.

I lowered my eyes.

Even though Shen Zixian released such a big news to clear away the suspicion between me and him, but things have clearly become more complicated, and it still relates to my mom's secret history …

No matter what, I can't accept having an extra grandfather …

Shen Zixian swept his gaze over me and suddenly asked his father, "Why do you want to stop me from recognizing Shen Li? Do you not want Shen Li to return to the Shen family?"

I was surprised.

He seems to have always been against my father, so he and my father were actually at odds in my life. Perhaps my father didn't think that I was a child of the Shen family?

Father looked at me and said with a wry smile, "I didn't want to blow up today's matter. I originally wanted to find a better opportunity to have a talk with Nian Bing."

The corners of Shen Zixian's mouth hooked into a mocking smile.

I frowned.

Father did not deny that I was a child of the Shen family... Therefore, Shen Zixian didn't lie to me, his family should have already confirmed this matter, I am indeed related to the Shen family.

But Father Shen's attitude was a bit ambiguous. Perhaps he really didn't want to acknowledge me.

To be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with the Shen family, nor would I covet anything from the Shen family.

Before I was eighteen, I was in flower, and my grandfather had only one.

As for my home... Although I've long since been torn to pieces, I only have that one home.

I suddenly had a bit of hope, maybe Shen Zixian made a mistake...

Father looked at me and said, "Nian Xi, you definitely won't be able to accept this fact now, right?"

I met his gaze and said nothing.

He sighed and said with a sincere expression, "It was because I could guess your reaction that I didn't want to give you such a difficult problem on your happy day."

I remained silent.

He sighed even more heavily, "It's alright, Uncle won't force you. When are you willing to recognize us? Just contact us again at any time."

I froze at the word uncle.

In my entire life, there has never been a relative like Uncle …

Shen Zixian suddenly said, "Dad, I think we should take advantage of today's good day to let Nian Ming go back to the Shen family."

He didn't seem to trust my father enough to force him to admit me.

A trace of impatience flashed across his father's eyes. It was probably because he was a little angry that Shen Jingbin was unwilling to forgive him.

In reality, I didn't want to be acquainted with the Shen family, so I spoke up first, "There's no need. My grandfather and mother have both passed away, so there's no way to verify my mother's background. Since that's the case, why don't we pretend that we don't know anything?"

My attitude is so clear, I believe that both Shen father and Shen Zixian should understand what I mean.

Shen Zixian silently stared at me, his eyes instantly turning sharp.

I avoided his eyes.

For some reason, I suddenly felt guilty.

Remembering his actions in the past, whether it was when he asked me to work as an intern in the task force, or when he warned me to stay away from Zhou Xun, or his repeated attempts to fight him for my sake, I was filled with a sense of profound meaning.

He said he liked me, and of course I didn't believe him, but he did care about me.

At that time, I already thought that he must have some other purpose, but I didn't expect that … The truth of the matter was actually like this …

He probably suspected my background long before the flower bloomed, which was why he made those confusing moves afterwards.

In fact, I already somewhat believe that my mother is Shen Zixian's aunt.

Although I still don't understand why my mother would end up in Flower Landing, why my grandfather would adopt my mother, and why my grandfather would keep it from me, I don't think that there is a need for Shen Zixian to lie to me.

He couldn't possibly be so full that he would deliberately forge DNA.

Furthermore, even Father Shen did not deny it.

But I really can't accept relatives appearing out of thin air, so I can only pretend to be confused.

But I also feel that I am somewhat sorry to Shen Zixian, he did many things for me, he purposely revealed the truth today, so that I could recognize him as my ancestor.

Maybe he offended his father for it.

I didn't appreciate his kindness and instead spoiled his good intentions …

Fortunately, Zhou Xun was right next to me. He touched his face and said, "Darling, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

I rubbed his hand gratefully.

Shen Ziqian curled his lips, no longer forcing me to admit that he was someone from the Shen family. He pointed to the box on the tea table and said: "This necklace is a wedding present for you. Take it."

Back then, he pulled me along to go shopping with him, but it turned out to be prepared for me.

But how did he know I was going to get married?

Then, I couldn't help but start. Did he and Zhou Xun pass off at that time?

No wonder they stopped fighting each other and decided to work together to deal with Guqi.

So, Zhou Xun actually already knew of my background?

I looked at Zhou Xun.

He was looking at me, too, with a deep look in his eyes.

I temporarily suppressed the doubt in my heart, turned to look at Shen Zisheng, and said: "My apologies, I cannot accept this."

Shen Zisheng's brows fiercely knitted, "Why not?"

I paused before I said apologetically, "My mother's background still needs to be tested … I have no reason to accept such a precious gift … "

Shen Zixian's face darkened as he stared at me coldly.
