The Rest of My Life

If it wasn't for Zhou Xun hugging me tightly, I would have definitely fainted from anger long ago.

Su Yan was still shouting obscenely, "Your mom is like a dead fish under me. No wonder, she's only your grandpa …"

Before he could finish, he was kicked out by Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun said coldly, "Su Yan, I have also heard that you are the richest man in the whole of Hua City because you relied on the Yue Clan. A reliable woman is also a type of ability, I had high expectations for you before, but now it seems that you are a bastard."

Su Yan knelt on the ground with an indifferent look on his face.

Zhou Xun said, "Because you are not willing to admit defeat, you set the task of doing nothing for the sake of your benefactor's wife and father-in-law on your shoulders. Aren't you afraid of the Midnight Ghost knocking on the door?"

Su Yan opened his mouth to say something.

Zhou Xun interrupted him, "I know better than you what kind of person my grandfather is. Before coming here, I checked through his information and thoroughly checked out all eight generations of his ancestors. That's right. Although it was true that her mother was taken care of by Mr. Yang, Elder Yang and his wife had a particularly good relationship. The two of them loved and doted upon her mother as well. Elder Yang's wife passed away due to cancer. He missed his wife a lot and never wanted to remarry. "

Su Yan stared at him in disbelief: "You …" "You …"

Zhou Xun said indifferently, "Based on the slander you just made, even if you died a few times, it would not have been excessive. "Next I'll send you to the prison. As you know, there are rules in the prison, so I wish you a happy life there."

With that, he closed the door, isolating Su Yan outside.

I was stunned.

It wasn't until Zhou Xun told Zhou Ning to drive that I began to catch my breath.

Luckily, Zhou Xun managed to intimidate Su Yan, otherwise, I would have to watch as Su Shi Yan unrestrainedly slandered my grandfather and mother. But I can't shut him up, unless I kill him …

I tightly held onto Zhou Xun's shirt and sobbed, "How can Su Shi be like this..." He wasn't afraid … Aren't you afraid of retribution! "

"He's a dog that's in a hurry to jump over a wall. He's broken like a tin, so you don't have to bother with him."

I'm still sad.

I have long understood Su Yan's nature, and I know that he is a villain through and through. However, his actions today have changed my perception of him and his bottom line.

I... How did I end up being his daughter...

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but cry out.

It was too unfair.

And for my grandfather and my mother.

Zhou Xun didn't say anything else. He just patted my back and comforted me.

I didn't pull myself together until we were back at the villa.

But because I cried once, I was always a little tired.

Zhou Xun simply carried me out of the car and walked me all the way back to my room.

After putting me on the bed, he got up and said, "Your eyes are swollen. I'll go to the kitchen and get the ice pack."

I took his hand.

He looked down at me.

I whispered, "Uncle Zhou, my mom..." Was it really adopted by Grandfather? "

At first, I didn't think too much about it, but on the way, I realized something.

Zhou Xun had looked up my grandfather's information, but I didn't think much of it.

After all, a shopping mall was like a battlefield. It was normal for one to know one's opponent and oneself.

But to my surprise, he already knew that my mother was adopted.

But when Tao came to find out about Wu Mei's case, he didn't say anything.

Zhou Xun seemed to have seen through my doubt and shook my hand. "No one in Flower Landing knew that your mother was adopted. I assume your grandfather didn't want others to know, so how could I reveal this secret?"

That's true.

Even I don't know. My grandfather and mother are probably trying to hide it from outsiders.

Zhou Xun muttered to himself, "But I think your mother might not know about this either."

I started.

Did he mean that my mother always thought she was my grandparents'?

I had never met my grandmother, but according to Zhou Xun, my grandmother was a very good person. Although my grandfather rarely mentioned her, I had seen my grandfather secretly cry while holding her picture.

My grandparents probably treated my mother like their own daughter and didn't want to tear the truth apart in front of my mother.

Zhou Xun said, "This is just my guess, but unfortunately, I am no longer able to verify it."

I was speechless at the thought of my grandparents and my mother's death.

Zhou Xun patted my head and said, "Don't think too much about it."

I rubbed my palm against his and obeyed.

After he went out, I fell into a daze.

I'm not angry with him for hiding it from me for so long. I'm just a little hesitant about telling Tao Zhizhou about my mother's adoption.

My gut told me it might have something to do with Wu Mei's case.

Maybe it was because Wu Mei found out about this secret that she was fired by my grandfather …

I hesitated, but Zhou Xun came back with the ice pack.

He pressed my eyes gently.

I looked at his pretty profile and decided to ask his opinion.

His hand paused for a moment, then he smiled and said, "It depends on yourself. Just do as you please."

I didn't say anything.

He said, "As far as I know, Tao Zhizhou is a very reliable person with a lot of professional ethics. He probably won't spread the news."

I thought.

Then it was time for dinner, but I had no appetite, so I drank the bird's nest and the medicinal food.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun didn't force me to sleep.

But in the middle of the night I was awakened by nightmares.

Sometimes it was the scene of Su Yan's limbs being chopped off and blood dripping from his wounds, and other times it was the scene of my mother's body being badly mangled after jumping off a building …

I'm covered in sweat.

The dream was so real and so terrible that I could barely breathe.

Zhou Xun was woken up by me.

He immediately carried me on his back and kissed my forehead. "I'm fine. It's just a dream."

I gripped his robe, shivering.

He took me to the bathroom and dried me off with a towel.

I was still in a trance.

He asked the servant to come up and change the bedclothes, and then he put me back to sleep.

As I listened to his rhythmic, powerful heartbeat, held tight by his strong arms, I finally calmed down and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, when I woke up, my eyes were still a little swollen.

Zhou Xun said, "Why don't I call Ah Ning to receive Young Master Tao?"

I shook my head. "I think it's better if I go. Only I know my mother's things."

Zhou Xun did not say anything else.

After breakfast, we went to the Su Clan at the appointed time.

The transfer letter that Su Yan forced me to press was found by Zhou Ning and was destroyed at the first moment. So my grandfather's property is still mine and so is this villa.

Actually, this place used to be called Yang family. After my grandfather passed away, Su Yan had the servants change their mouths and became the Su family.

I thought, "When Zhou Ning has found a servant for us, I will have everyone change their way of addressing us as Yang family members."

In fact, I was going to change my name to Yang Nian.

However, thinking of my records and books, it must be troublesome to change them, so I gave up.

Tao Zhizhou and Shen Zixian were already waiting inside.

I didn't say anything and directly brought them to the basement.

This time they searched more carefully.

I called Tao Zhizhou aside and told him about my mother's adoption.

Tao Zhizhou was indeed worthy of being the chief of the Criminal Investigation Squadron. He immediately replied, "You suspect that Wu Mei was fired by your grandfather because she knew about this secret?"

I nodded.

Tao Zhizhou muttered to himself, "I know. I will keep this a secret." Miss Su, thank you. Perhaps this is a way to break through. "

I waved my hand.

Actually, the reason why I paid attention to Wu Mei's case was because I felt that her death was closely related to my mother's death.

Although it was just my intuition, I was willing to assist the task force in solving the crime as much as possible.

After Tao Zhizhou left, Shen Zixian walked over.

He stared at me. "You still suspect me?"

I revealed an embarrassed smile and said, "Who told you to call me so coincidentally?"

He snorted and said, "With your intelligence, you can only think of this."

I glared at him, unconvinced, and said nothing.

He suddenly said, "Are you really planning on staying longer on Wednesday?"

The conversation went on too fast for me to react.

He lowered his voice and said, "But the Zhou family's situation is complicated, and GuQiong is not a pushover …" Also, from what I understand, Zhou Xun has a lover, and I don't know why they separated … It's impossible for him to fall for you, so maybe he just wants to play with you … Don't be fooled by him. "

I was stunned. There was only one piece of information left in my mind —

Zhou Xun had someone he liked …

I looked woodenly at Shen Zixian, wanting to inquire about his details.

But I was still rational. I knew I couldn't be impulsive, and I couldn't let him laugh at me.

I replied indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Shen. I know what I'm doing."

Shen Zisheng narrowed his eyes, "I know Zhou Xun helped you beat up Su Yan and Gong Shan, and even helped you put Su Yan in jail. It's normal for you to be grateful to him, but you can't compensate yourself."

Su Yan was still recovering. He knew Zhou Xun was going to put Su Yan in jail?

It seemed like he was well-informed.

However, he was the young master of the Shen family and might have some connections with Su Yan. It was not surprising that he knew about Su Yan's movements.

I replied in an even colder tone, "This is my own affair and has nothing to do with Senior Shen."

Shen Zixian snorted: "You think I'm nosy? When the time comes, don't come looking for me! "

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't worry. Even if I did cry, I would only look for Teacher Tang."

Of course, this was just a joke. Teacher Tang treated me very well, but I also wouldn't bother her with my own feelings.

Shen Zixian's face turned white from my words, he was so angry that he turned his face and left.

I watched him go, and gradually the smile faded from my face.

Was what he said true?

Did Zhou Xun really have a lover?

These two days together, Zhou Xun was very considerate to me, careful and gentle, which gave me the illusion that I was going to walk into his heart.

However, with Shen Zixian's reminder, I immediately became clear-headed.

Shen Zixian, there's no need to lie to me.

So... Zhou Xun did indeed have someone he liked.

I stood in the corner of the basement, my heart cold.

After an unknown period of time, I exhaled slowly, rubbed my face hard, and returned to the living room.

Zhou Xun was standing by the French window, making a phone call.

I stared at him.

He was tall and slender, with an incomparably elegant face. The sunlight fell on his body, making him look like an immortal exiled from a painting, making people unable to look away.

I couldn't help but think that he couldn't even look at a woman of such a devastatingly beautiful background.

What kind of woman could be placed in his heart?
