The Rest of My Life

Do you think your mother committed suicide?

I stood up a little nervously.

However, Zhou Xun only glanced past me before withdrawing his gaze. He stood up and said: "Let's go."

There was no other reaction.

I was disappointed.

However, in the next second, he felt relieved.

He was handsome, had a peerless background, and he had seen all sorts of beautiful women.

Take Gu Qiong for example, she was truly a devastatingly beautiful woman, with radiance that shot out in all directions.

But he didn't like it much either.

Compared to Gu Qiong, I'm too lacking, so how could he possibly care about my looks?

I sighed at the bottom of my heart, secretly admonishing myself that I must restrain all of the thoughts that I shouldn't have, all of the unrealistic fantasies.

After thinking it through, I returned to normal.

Looking more carefully at Zhou Xun's clothes, he was still dressed in a black suit, looking tall and slender and handsome.

I looked after him, and somehow he seemed out of reach.

The fact is, he and I are as different as the clouds and the mud.

He is an immortal from the heavens, and I am just a mortal who cannot be caught up to even after a few lifetimes.

Then we got into the car and I sat next to him in the back seat, close enough that I could smell the faint scent of mint on him.

I searched my mind for a moment, wondering if any of the men's perfumes were this pure peppermint.

Maybe it was the smell of the shower gel.

It was refreshing and fragrant.

As the car drove towards the Su Family residence, Zhou Xun kept looking at the documents and ignored me.

Instead, I felt at ease.

However, he did not expect a torrential downpour along the way. The sun had been shining brightly earlier.

Maybe it was because it was summer and the rain was getting heavier.

The driver drove slowly, half an hour's drive away. He drove for an hour.

When the car finally pulled into the house, it was still raining.

Because of the rain, the wedding ground was set up in the playground behind the villa.

Originally, that was the children's playground that my grandfather built for me many years ago. After that, it was turned into a sports field by Su Shiyan and by now, the entire villa has become Su Shiyan's.

There were already many guests present, and the place was arranged in a flowery manner with a jubilant atmosphere.

Zhou Xun suddenly said: "Hold me."

Stunned, I did as I was told.

The next moment, I remembered that this doesn't seem appropriate.

However, there were already many people looking over here, so it wasn't good for me to retract my hand.

I saw Su Shiyan and Gong Shan standing at the entrance to greet the guests.

Gong Shan's stomach could already see a bit of it, but her smile was especially brilliant.

She was finally going to marry Su Shiyan, and was finally going to be the mistress of the Su Family.

I remembered that not long ago, my mother was still living in this house, but now, she was actually being taken over by Gong Shan.

Coincidentally, Gong Shan was looking in our direction.

I frowned.

The smile on Gong Shan's face immediately disappeared, and her eyes revealed a malicious light as she glared at me.

However, she did not rush up to yell at me. Instead, she changed her expression to one of gentleness as she whispered something into Su Shiyan's ears.

Su Shiyan turned his head and saw Zhou Xun.

His entire face was filled with smiles as he said, "Mr. Zhou, both Shan Shan and I feel extremely honored to have you here."

It was also Zhou Xun who saved me from psychiatric hospital, but Su Shiyan acted as if nothing had happened and even had a fawning smile on his face.

With such shamelessness, I can't find any other words to describe my feelings other than contempt.

Zhou Xun said indifferently.

Su Shiyan seemed to see that he was not that friendly with her, so he smiled and turned to stare at me: "Speak, child, since you came with Mr. Zhou, why didn't you give us a call first?"

I coldly replied, "I'm mentally ill. I can't make a phone call."

Su Shiyan's expression stiffened, then revealed an unnatural smile: "Look at you, child. Mr. Zhou, you better not be angry with your memory, it's because I didn't teach her well, if you want to blame, blame me. "

There was a cold smile on my face.

How could someone like him be worthy of being a father?

However, Zhou Xun opened his mouth at this time: "I think it's good to recite."

She gave me a tender look.

I started slightly.

Then, he understood that he was doing this on purpose to let Su Shiyan see, but he was actually protecting me.

I felt a surge of warmth in my heart and smiled gratefully at him.

Turning his head to look, Gong Shan's face was filled with jealousy as he stared at me.

She twisted her waist and walked over, holding Su Shiyan's arm, and gently looked at Zhou Xun, saying: "Miss Gu is here, do you want to greet her?"

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Qiong, who was being escorted by her, swaggering towards us.

Gu Qiong stopped in front of Zhou Xun and said gently: "Ah Xun, long time no see."

However, Zhou Xun did not look at her, but turned and said to me: "The wind is very strong outside, you wear less, stop catching a cold, let's go in."

As he spoke, he walked in.

I couldn't help but sigh.

He is using me as a shield to purposefully embarrass Gu Qiong.

Presumably, Gu Qiong is cursing me right now.

But under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it was not my place to refute Zhou Xun. I could only follow his footsteps and follow him with lowered eyebrows.

Just as he took two steps, Gu Qiong caught up.

She grabbed onto Zhou Xun's other arm and said playfully: "Ah Xun, I know that you have nothing to do with her. You don't like girls like her, you're just angry at me, right?"

Zhou Xun's gaze finally fell on her body.

He slowly said, "No."

After saying that, he continued to walk forward, and Gu Qiong quickly left him behind.

I had to catch up to him by holding his arm.

After a distance, I couldn't help but look back.

Gu Qiong was looking at me and Zhou Xun's backs, his face gloomy and terrifying.

I looked away.

At this time, many people had already noticed Zhou Xun's appearance, and came forward to chat with him. Their eyes were still curiously looking at me.

I maintained a decent smile.

But more and more people came and looked at me more openly.

I thought for a moment, then whispered into Zhou Xun's ear. "Uncle Zhou, I'm going to the washroom."

Zhou Xun did not look at me, but nodded lightly.

With a sigh of relief, I quickly left the hall.

The bathroom is behind the playground, and I've lived in this house for more than twenty years, and I can walk with my eyes closed.

However, as I walked along, I noticed that all the decorations in the house had changed.

My mom likes bright red and I like purple. Before, my family was always big red and big purple.

Gong Shan, on the other hand, liked the pink color.

Thinking that my mom and I might have already been thrown out, my mood became increasingly lonely.

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and slapped my face with cold water, trying to hide the pain and depression in my heart.

When I finally calmed down and planned to return to the banquet site, Gong Shan suddenly walked in.

She told her bodyguard to guard the door, then crossed her arms and looked at me triumphantly.

I smirked. "What, you want to make a move on me? "Don't forget that I'm Uncle Zhou's girlfriend. If you dare to touch me, just wait for Uncle Zhou's revenge."

Gong Shan probably thought of this as well, pointed at me and scolded, "Bitch!"

I smiled. "The more you scold, the more pleased I feel."

Gong Shan glared at me.

I raised my hands and said, "Look, my hands are almost ready. I'm afraid they'll be crippled, right?"

From the moment I entered, I noticed that she was wearing gloves, presumably for fear of being seen.

Gong Shan's expression twisted as she stared at me for a few seconds. Suddenly, she gave a sinister laugh, "There will be a day when I will kill you, just like I would kill your mother."

My expression changed. "You were the one who killed my mother?!"

Gong Shan laughed wickedly, "Do you think your mother committed suicide?

So my mom was murdered?!

I froze, forgetting to react.

Gong Shan scoffed, "I was just borrowing a knife to kill you, there is someone else who has truly caused your mother's death. Why do you think Zhou Xun is so good to you? He's guilty, understand? "
