The Rest of My Life

The letter was brief, and my mother had said that she would be bold to disturb Zhou Xun, but she was desperate to see him. She asked Zhou to give me the will, and then asked him to convey her wish to see me out of the country; if it was not too much trouble for Zhou Xun, she wanted him to look after me a little more.

No wonder Zhou Xun would help me. He was indeed entrusted to me by my mother.

Available... Why would my mother want him?

Zhou Xun didn't look like someone with bad intentions, and my mother didn't have much contact with him.

As he pondered, Zhou Xun whispered, "Darling, have you finished reading?"

I came back to myself and nodded.

He tightly clenched my hand and said, "I'll explain to you the situation then."

I sat up.

He stared into my eyes and said, "Do you remember that I said that I would bring people to track the mercenary that day, and happened to pass by the place where my mother was in trouble?"

He did say that.

He said, "Actually, I met her on the roof. Because we met a few times before, I chatted with her for a while. She was with some friends and said she wanted to buy the building across the way, so she went up to the top floor to see what was going on. I saw them busy and left soon after. And that evening, I heard about her jumping off the building. "

I stared.

So did he just happen to run into my mother so that the court could shoot those videos and photos?

I wondered if what he said was true.

Zhou Xun said, "The next day, I received a courier from the same city. Mom wrote a will and asked me to pass it to you."

So this was the whole story?

I looked at him, speechless for a moment.

He added, "I did check. Mom did buy the building opposite, but she didn't write it down in her will. That is to say, the building isn't for you."

No wonder I don't remember a building in the estate.

Zhou Xun looked at me and said in a deeper tone, "I will tell Ah Ning to investigate. The owner's name is Wu Mei."

I stood up.

Why did my mother buy a building for Wu Mei?

Although the price of the flower was not particularly expensive, it was still over ten million yuan per building.

As for Wu Mei, she was quickly killed by the mercenaries. At that time, Zhou Xun happened to pass by …

What was the connection?

I just have a headache.

All of a sudden, Zhou Xun said, "I called Ah Ning to keep an eye on the situation over there and found out that the owner of the house had changed to Wan Yu Xin."

I frowned.

Who was Wan Yu Xin?

I'm sure I've never heard the name before. It's not my mother's friend.

Zhou Xun looked at me deeply and said, "Wan Yuxin is Shen Zixian's distant concubine."

My mouth dropped open.

It had something to do with the Shen family?

Could it be that Wu Mei was killed by the Shen family? Does my mother's death have anything to do with the Shen family?

Does this mean that my mother didn't commit suicide by jumping off a building?

At first, I thought that my mother was forced to death by Su Yan and Gong Shan, but now, it seems that there's something more to it.

My mind was in a whirl.

However, a doubt suddenly flashed through my mind. Why would Zhou Xun tell me this?

He made a point of meeting my mother on the top floor. He... Did you already know that the court gave me those photos and videos?

Or was he hinting at me to confess to him?

I couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

His eyes were deep and silent as he looked at me.

My heart skipped a beat.

Is he waiting for me to tell him the truth?

But I thought about it and kept quiet.

If he didn't trick me into going to see Ye Beibei, I would have explained everything to him, but now that I was planning to separate from him, I didn't need to take out those photos and videos.

Perhaps what he had said was true. My mother's death had nothing to do with him.

This is for the best, to prevent me from being conflicted over whether I should seek revenge on him or not.

Of course, if he's lying, it doesn't matter. I've decided to pursue my mother slowly, and I believe the truth will be revealed eventually.

As for what I should do when the time comes, to be honest, I have yet to make up my mind …

Zhou Xun was still looking at me.

I looked him in the eye for a moment, avoiding his eyes in silence.

He must have been disappointed with me. He was giving me a chance to confess to him, and I had lost it.

It's just that I don't regret it.

Let's just let him think I'm on guard against him. Since we're going to separate anyway, I don't want to explain too much to him.

I whispered, "It's getting late. You … Should we go and rest? "

This was a tactful signal for him to leave.

In the end, he only acknowledged, "It's very late." However, he had no intention of leaving.

I was a little depressed and thought about what I would say to let him know what I meant.

He suddenly stood up.

Originally, he was sitting by my side. After getting up, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed my hand. "Let's go and rest."

I opened my eyes wide.

He had led me to the bed and was beginning to take off his coat.

I came back to my senses and couldn't help but stay a few steps away from him. "I …" "I mean I'm resting by myself …"

He hung his coat on a hanger beside him and looked back at me, saying innocently, "Then where should I sleep?"

Me: "…"

He slowly approached me and said, "We are husband and wife. Of course we have to sleep together."

I wanted to step back, but there was a bed behind me.

He was already closing in on me, and I could smell his sweet scent on me.

It dawned on me that he was deliberately being a scoundrel.

In fact, I hadn't really expected to see him like this.

In the past, I might have felt that he was approaching me, slowly revealing all of his personality, and would have been moved by this.

But now all I have is sadness.

I directly explained myself and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm sorry. It's possible that I didn't express my feelings clearly. What I mean is that in the future, we will part ways …"

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Xun had already hugged me …

He put my head against his chest and whispered in my ear, "Baby, are you still angry? Are you angry at me for going to see Bei Bei? "

Hearing him mention Ye Beibei's name, even though it was in a very normal tone, I could hear the tenderness in his words.

I kept my mouth shut.

He suddenly cupped my face and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong this time …" "Her health isn't good. Even big brother Nan Ting rushed over, afraid something bad might happen to her …"

I lowered my eyes and didn't look at him.

He firmly lifted my chin and let me look at him, saying, "She is indeed in a very bad condition …" "Baby, it won't happen again."

I shook my head. "Even if you're worried about her and want to see her, there's no need to lie to me and tell me that …"

I care more that he lied to me than that he desperately went to visit Ye Beibei.

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect me to care about this.

I replied, "You directly told me that you want to go to Switzerland. Could it be that I will stop you?"

He immediately said in a low voice, "I promise there won't be a next time."

I smiled bitterly. He could lie to me just for Ye Beibei and the second and third time, how could I believe him?

Zhou Xun's mouth was slightly agape, but he remained silent in the end.

I looked him in the eye and said, "The reason you didn't tell me was because you had a guilty conscience, right? You know Miss Ye's position in your heart, you're afraid of hurting me … But you don't know, when I knew the truth, I was hurt even more. "
