The Rest of My Life

I whispered, "That's right …" "My mom was adopted by a kind couple …"

Grandpa Ning stared at me unblinkingly, and I could tell that he really wanted to know about my mother's situation.

Zhou Xun reminded him, "Old man, please take a seat."

Grandpa Ning sat on the sofa, but kept his eyes on me, as if he was urging me to hurry up and continue speaking.

I told her about my grandfather and my grandmother's family and how my mother was living well.

Grandpa Ning's eyes were red as he said, "That's great …" Great... It was great that the young mistress did not suffer at all … If the old mister and the old mistress knew about it, they would definitely be very happy. "

I looked at him, hesitating to tell him about my mother's death.

I'm just afraid that he might not be able to handle it …

In fact, my mom has been suffering. Ever since she married Su Yan, she has been living in pain …

I couldn't make up my mind, so I went to see Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun pinched my fingertips, as if to tell me that no matter what decision I made, he would always support me.

I thought about it.

Grandpa Ning was still looking at the picture of my mother as a baby.

He must have been worried about my mother.

I was touched, and that was why I felt I should not hide it from him.

After thinking for a moment, I took out my phone. Inside was a photo of my mother from childhood up to now. I passed it to Grandpa Ning and said, "Look again, this is how my mother will look when she grows up."

Grandpa Ning became even more agitated. Trembling, he picked them up and flipped through them one by one.

Zhou Xun and I waited quietly for him to finish reading.

There were a lot of servants in the room, and Zhou An and his bodyguards were also standing not far away. But there were so many people, not a single sound was made, and the hall was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

The weather was good today, the flowers were warm, the sun was beautiful, and there was a breeze blowing in from the window. I felt as if my heart was at peace with the breeze.

After a few minutes, Grandpa Ning finally finished reading it.

His voice was choked with sobs, "When young miss grew up, she was really very similar to old mister … Unfortunately, old mister can no longer see it … "

His tone was dispirited, filled with endless regret.

I couldn't help but cry too.

After a while, I bit the corner of my lips and said, "Grandpa Ning, I still have some news to tell you."

Grandpa Ning looked up at me.

There were tears in his eyes, and a touch of hope, as if he was waiting for me to tell him more about my mother.

My heart suddenly tightened.

But I decided to follow the plan and tell the truth.

So after a short period of silence, I whispered, "My mom... She's already passed away … "

Grandpa Ning's pupils suddenly contracted as he blankly stared at me.

The more I felt, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Then I thought about the panic I'd felt when I heard my mother had jumped off a building and killed herself, and the regret I'd felt when I hadn't even seen my mother for the last time.

Zhou Xun gripped my hand tightly and silently comforted me.

His warm palm gave me a hold.

I held him back.

Grandpa Ning only regained his senses after a long while, and he muttered, "So …" "Miss is also gone …" After a few seconds, he continued in a low voice, "The young miss should have reunited with the old mister and the old lady underground …" This is good too … "Alright …"

The last sentence was too painful to bear.

I was so scared by this that my tears, which had stopped, began to fall again.

Grandpa Ning rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, then returned the phone to me with trembling hands.

I inadvertently glanced at his face.

He noticed that besides the reminiscence on his face, there seemed to be regret and pain.

This... Why?

I calmed my emotions, wiped away my tears, and softly said, "Grandpa Ning, this time we came because we wanted to ask you something."

Although Zhou Xun didn't tell me who he wanted to meet in advance, nor did he give me any hints as to what he wanted to say, but the moment I saw Grandpa Ning, I understood why he brought me here today.

I remember Zhou Xun telling me that Zhou Ning found the Shen family's old servant, but he refused to tell me the truth.

Grandpa Ning was probably that old servant.

Furthermore, Zhou Xun must have brought me here to let Grandpa Ning loose.

So I got back to business.

However, Grandpa Ning's reaction was beyond my expectations.

After returning the phone to me, Grandpa Ning was still staring at the screen of my phone, as if he was still recalling the pictures of my mother.

When I finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head. With a wary look in his eyes, he said with slight agitation, "I don't know anything! Even if you imprison me to death, I will still say that! "

I didn't expect him to have such a reaction.

To tell the truth, he was so excited when he saw me, and I could tell he was very respectful to Grandpa Shen's family and very fond of my mother.

So I thought he would love me and tell me the truth after he saw me.

But before I could ask, he simply refused, even with a look of exasperation and alarm.

What was going on?

Thinking of his regret and pain just now made him even more suspicious.

I looked over at Zhou Xun, hoping he would give me a hint.

Zhou Xun pinched my fingers and turned to Grandpa Ning, saying, "Old man, we are not imprisoning you. You have been living here for more than a month, so you should be aware that we have not restricted your movements. Besides, you were in a nursing home before, and we also sent a servant to take care of you. I believe you are more comfortable than before. Of course, you are not used to it. Here I apologize. "It's just that we really need your help. I hope you don't mind if we don't go out of our way to tell you the truth."

I instantly understood the sequence of events.

Grandpa Ning was angry that Zhou Xun had somehow brought him here?

I hurriedly said, "Grandpa Ning, I'm sorry, we were inconsiderate …" "But I really want to know about my mom being kidnapped …" I looked at him with particular sincerity and said, "Did you know, until my mother died, she didn't know what she was like? Although my grandparents treated her very well, she married my father and didn't have a good time … My dad had a mistress and even swindled away all of my grandpa's assets … "My mom suffered from depression in the past few years and was forced to commit suicide and jump off a building …"

Upon hearing that my mom committed suicide by jumping off a building, Grandpa Ning's pupils once again twitched.

I said in a low voice, "As long as I think about it, if my mother was a child of the Shen family, it would be impossible for her to meet scum like my father. Then, it would be impossible for my mother to die so early.

This is my real idea, after learning that my mother is the daughter of the Shen family, I have countless times thought, if only my mother is older in Shen family.

Then she must still be alive, and happy, and not in pain or depression.

Grandpa Ning's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he hesitated.

I knew that the elder's heart must have relaxed, so I continued, "Actually, we've already found some information. I know that Shen Fang was raised and isn't related to my mother by blood …"

Just as he finished speaking, Grandpa Ning raised his head and stared at me, saying, "How do you know?"

His reaction was not shock, but fear.

Zhou Xun and I looked at each other.

It seems that Shen Fang was indeed adopted.

Previously, Zhou Xun had been able to find out some truth, but now, he was a hundred percent sure of it.

But why would Grandpa Ning be frightened?

He … It seems like he doesn't want us to know this secret?

But why?

Did he want to cover something up for Shen Fang?

Then was the reminiscence he revealed earlier to Grandpa Shen, and the love he showed to my mother, all an act?

He's actually with Shen Fang's group?

My heart was in turmoil, but I remembered that his joy after seeing me wasn't fake. I decided to test him and said, "Grandpa Ning, did you know? We also found out that my mother was kidnapped that year and it was most likely related to Shen Fang?"

I kept my eyes on him as I said this.

This time, Grandpa Ning was completely flustered and blurted out, "You guys …" You guys even found out about this? "

I was flabbergasted.

He … What did he mean?

I turned to look at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun furrowed his brows, as if he was also shocked.

So, this Grandpa Ning in front of me, the former housekeeper of the Shen family, actually knows the truth behind the kidnapping of my mother?

More accurately speaking, Shen Fang was indeed involved in the kidnapping of my mother, and Grandpa Ning was aware of Shen Fang's crime since a long time ago?

No wonder he was both regretful and wary. It was because he had been keeping this secret for the past forty years.

But why should he keep it a secret?

Is he an accomplice of Shen Fang?

As I let my thoughts run wild, my whole heart sank to the bottom.

But in any case, since I'm here, I have to find out what happened that year. I have to know everything.

So I stared at him without blinking and said, "Don't you pity my mother for being kidnapped at such a young age? Although there was a good family that adopted her, but before meeting my grandparents, my mother must have suffered … She is so young, who knows what she encountered while wandering? "

Grandpa Ning's gaze turned evasive, as if he didn't dare to look at me.

I was anxious.

The old man in front of him clearly knew the truth, but why did he insist on keeping it a secret?

Could he really be an accomplice of Shen Fang?

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. My tone couldn't help but become agitated as I said, "Even if you didn't pity my mother, you had still followed Grandpa Shen before … His biological daughter had died at the age of forty due to her kidnapping that year. Her life had changed, resulting in her death at such a young age … Don't you feel guilty for hiding it like this? "

At this point, I almost burst into tears.

A pained expression once again appeared on Grandpa Ning's face.

I really don't understand what he means.

Zhou Xun held me in his arms and gently patted my back. You remember you had a baby in your belly... "

I stared fixedly at the elderly with indecisive expression and said, "You saw it too. I'm carrying a child in my stomach. If my mother was still alive, I would have been a grandmother by now …"

The pain on Grandpa Ning's face became even more intense, and his eyes showed signs of struggling.

From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have done anything to let my mother down.

I choked with sobs. "Why can't you tell me the truth? You don't want me to avenge her?"

He still didn't say anything.

I really don't understand what he's hesitating about.

Could he be afraid of Shen Fang finding him?

But since I'm married to Zhou Xun, and the Zhou Family is in the circle of aristocratic families, I believe that he should have heard about the situation of the Zhou Family.

My mind was in a whirl, and I was desperate.

Zhou Xun touched my face and gently said, "Actually, I know why this old man hid the truth."
