The Rest of My Life

I frowned, almost certain that she was muttering on purpose.

But what was her purpose in doing so?

Are you trying to destroy my relationship with Zhou Xun?

In front of Zhou Xun, I told him that I wanted to divorce him, probably to ruin my impression of him.

The first to react was Shen Zixian, he pulled Shen Zi Ru behind him and shouted: "Zi Ruo, shut up!"

Shen Zi Ruo didn't dare to twitch her mouth, "Brother, I didn't say anything wrong, the word 'divorce' was said by my cousin, I heard it all!"

I didn't know what to say.

No matter how close my relationship with Shen Zi Ruo is, from Zhou Xun's perspective, the Shen siblings are still my family. Now that my family is dragging me down, I can't find any other expression besides embarrassment.

The atmosphere became heavy.

Shen Zisheng reckoned that due to the presence of so many people, it's hard to continue, but at the same time, his face isn't looking too good.

At this moment, Jiang JingChen suddenly said leisurely, "Where's the pheasant coming from? Add some drama to your show."

His face was filled with sarcasm as he glanced at Shen Zi Ru.

This was a popular phrase on the internet recently. She didn't think that he would use it to ridicule Shen Zi Ruo.

I compared him to Shen Zixian, both of them really are similar.

Shen Zi Ruo must have also heard his ridicule, as her face changed drastically, and she immediately retaliated: "I'm talking to my cousin, who do you think you are, you're not qualified to interrupt!"

Hearing that, I couldn't help but secretly worry for her IQ.

She actually dared to use such an attitude towards Jiang JingChen.

Although the Shen family was as wealthy as a kingdom, that was only in the business world. The Jiang family was as powerful as the Zhou family.

Speaking of which, everyone here, their family background is not worse than the Shen family, where did Shen Zi Ruo get the self-confidence to show off her strength.

I looked at Shen Zixian. His expression became more and more stiff.

Jiang Jing Chen thought that Shen Zi Ruo's temper had been aroused, so he crossed his arms and sneered, "Who are you, you dare to act so arrogantly here."

Shen Zi Ruo arrogantly raised her chin and said: "I am the young miss of the Shen family."

She had an expression on her face that said, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang JingChen sneered as he turned to Shen Zixian, "Your Shen family is truly powerful."

Shen Zixian was usually a proud person, but because of Shen Zi Ruo, he had a humble expression and said: "My apologies, Young Master Jiang, my sister is immature."

The corners of Jiang JinChen's lips curled up into a mocking smile, "Your sister is far more than ignorant."

Shen Zi Wu's face changed, but he did not refute.

Shen Zi Ruo spat at Jiang Jing Chen, "Who are you saying isn't sensible?! What's so special about your Jiang family? Isn't it just a few officials?! "

The moment she said that, Shen Zixian forcefully covered her mouth, and said harshly, "Say one more word, and I will send you abroad!"

Shen Zi Ruo struggled with dissatisfaction, and looked unconvinced.

Jiang JingChen's brows slightly raised, "Young Master Shen, I know you have a good reputation and a good person, but your sister …." It was really hard to explain in a single sentence … "I think it's better if you teach her well. Today, I'm not going to argue with her for the sake of Ah Xun and his wife, but if she provokes me again, don't blame me for being rude."

The other youths indifferently looked at the Shen siblings. Although they did not say anything, their expressions were very similar to Jiang JingChen, their meaning evident.

Shen Zi Shi opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only nodded his head in embarrassment.

I hesitated to go up and help him out.

If Shen Zi Ru was the only one here today, I would definitely not interfere. But Shen Zi Shi has always been good to me, I don't have the heart to see him being mocked.

Just as I was about to speak, Zhou Xun spoke up before me, "Second brother, this is my cousin's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Actually, he didn't have any relationship with the Shen siblings, much less have deep feelings for them. He only stood out to apologize for Shen Zi Ruo, it was all for my sake.

I looked at him gratefully.

He smiled at me.

Jiang JinChen frowned, but he didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere eased up.

Who knew that Shen Zi Ruo would suddenly pull Shen Zixian's hand away and run to Zhou Xun's side, hugging his arm and saying happily: "I knew brother-in-law wouldn't let me get bullied like this!"

Her tone was charming and innocent. If it wasn't for the fact that he had just seen her pestering him, he would probably have been fooled by her pure appearance.

Zhou Xun calmly withdrew his hand and ignored her. Instead, he turned to Shen Zixian and asked, "Cousin, are you looking for me for something today?"

Shen Zi Wu looked coldly at Shen Zi Ruo, his eyes were sinister and malicious.

However, he did not immediately flare up. Instead, he calmly replied to Zhou Xun, "We are here to pay our respects to the old gramps. We've already seen the old gramps just now, we're about to go back."

Zhou Xun and I were married, and the Zhou and Shen families were married, so it was reasonable for them to come and pay their respects to Grandpa Zhou.

Zhou Xun said, "Oh, then I'll send you off."

He did not urge Shen Zixian to stay.

He had a servant bring the Shen siblings here just now, presumably intending to introduce Shen Zixian to his childhood friends.

In the circle of aristocratic families, the most important thing was connections.

It's a pity that Shen Zi Ruo offended Jiang JingChen the moment he arrived. I guess that Zhou Xun doesn't want to waste time trying to link Shen Zi Shi to her.

Naturally, I have no objections. On the contrary, I agree with his approach.

But he seemed afraid I might be unhappy, and he gave me a worried look.

I gave him an understanding smile.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he quietly reached out and squeezed my fingertips.

The base of my ear felt hot.

Shen Zisheng courteously bid farewell to Zhou Xun's subordinates, then pulled Shen Zhiruo to turn around.

Shen Zi Ruo wanted to cause more trouble, but he was dragged away by Shen Zi Wu.

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

Zhou Xun gave Rui to Ye Nantian and we followed.

After taking two steps, I heard Jiang Jingchen mutter, "What a pity."

I know that he is in pity for Shen Zixian's situation.

Recently, I have also had this kind of feeling from time to time.

Zhou Xun and I sent the Shen siblings to the front yard.

The servant opened the car door, Shen Zixian turned his head to look at me, "When do you plan to return?"

I tilted my head to look at Zhou Xun and said, "It should be tomorrow."

Originally, I was prepared to return to the Shen family today, but with Zhou Xun's subordinates here, I did not want to cause Zhou Xun to lose face, so I decided to stay.

Shen Zixian said, "Do you want me to come and pick you up tomorrow?"

I shook my head.

Shen Zi Shi did not continue speaking, and prepared to pull Shen Zi Ruo onto the car.

Shen Zi Ruo struggled to get away from him and screamed, "I'm not leaving! I want to go with Brother-in-law. " She suddenly ran to Zhou Xun's side and grabbed his arm, her eyes filled with love as she asked, "Brother-in-law, you must be willing to part with me, right?"

Zhou Xun dodged her hand and calmly looked at her, saying, "Miss Shen, please have some self-respect."

Shen Zi Ru's eyes widened in disbelief.

As I watched, I was speechless.

It was really a mystery where her confidence came from. She believed that Zhou Xun would not be willing to part with her.

Shen Zixian's face was cold as he said: "Shen Zi Ruo, we should leave."

How could Shen Zi Ruo be willing? She stomped her feet and said, "I want to stay here …"

Before she could finish her words, Shen Zixian ordered the Shen family's bodyguards to tie her up.

Perhaps it was because of the absence of those children, Shen Zixian no longer had any scruples, he immediately called for someone to gag Shen Zi Ruo's mouth, and then tied her up before throwing her onto the car.

Then, he turned around and looked at me and Zhou Xun. "You two can go in."

Neither Zhou Xun nor I said anything.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Speak, don't worry. I will give you an explanation."

I lightly sighed. "Forget it, you …."

Before he could finish, he interrupted me and said, "I will send my son out of the country as soon as possible."

I whispered, "If it's because of me, then it's completely unnecessary. When the time comes, you won't be able to explain it to uncle."

Shen Zisheng coldly snorted and said: "Don't you need to care about this."

With that, he stepped into the car.

I didn't have a chance to persuade him again until the car left.

Zhou Xun gently caressed my face and said, "I feel that cousin did the right thing. I can't possibly let you feel wronged forever."

I sighed. "Actually, I don't really mind Shen Zi Ruo's actions, as long as she doesn't harm me."

Zhou Xun stared at me and said slowly, "She's trying to take me away, and you don't mind?"

Me: "…"

How could I not mind? But I knew that Shen Zixian would definitely not be able to snatch him away, so I didn't take it to heart.

Zhou Xun's fingers scratched the tip of my nose before he chuckled and said: "You have to watch me closely."

I couldn't help but feel my cheeks burn. I didn't say anything.

He pulled me along as he said, "Tomorrow, I'll go with you to the Shen family. At that time, I'll talk to Shen Fang about his daughter."

My heart was moved, but I also had my doubts. "I was just afraid that he would talk to me about the Africa project …"

Zhou Xun tilted his head and looked deeply at me, saying, "Nian Nian, you really are looking at me."

Me: "…"

Was there even a need to say that?

Compared to the Shen Fang family, he was much more important.

Even if I were to divorce him in the future, he would still be the most important existence in my heart.

Zhou Xun seemed to be able to read my thoughts. With a slight smirk, he said softly, "It's fine. I have a way to deal with him."

Since he was so confident, I didn't say anything else.

Just as we were about to head to the backyard, Zhou Ning suddenly walked over.

This should be the first time I've seen him since I went to the flower garden.

He smiled as he greeted me. Then, he turned to Zhou Xun and said, "The matter that you had me investigate, I've found some clues."

The light in Zhou Xun's eyes deepened as he said, "To the study room."

Seeing that he had something important to do, I decided to go to the backyard first.

Unexpectedly, he called out to me and said, "It's a matter of the Shen family. You can listen to it together."

I was surprised.

Last time he said he would ask Zhou Ning to look for a branch of the Shen family, did he get the news so quickly?

Entering the study room, Zhou Ning directly explained the situation.

Sure enough, he went to investigate the side branch of the Shen family and found something unexpected.

When I opened the file he handed me and read it, I was stunned.

Shen Fang... It was actually adopted?!
