The Rest of My Life

I was stunned for a moment before hugging his waist. "Don't worry. I will get along well with my aunt."

Zhou Tong calmed down and cupped my face. "I haven't told you about my family yet, have I?"

I immediately revealed a look of anticipation. Originally, I wanted to ask about the Zhou family's situation.

He led me to the sofa and sat down. "Actually, my father and second uncle aren't the same mother. They are half-brothers."

I was astonished.

It turned out that Grandpa Zhou had married two wives, the first one was his uncle, who died of illness. Then Grandpa Zhou had married another, and the next three were his uncle, his third uncle, and his aunt.

Zhou Xun said that his stepgrandma treated Uncle Zhou quite well and treated him like her own son. Because of this, Uncle Zhou and Uncle Zhou had a very good relationship.

However, when Zhou Xun was born, his stepgrandma passed away, and Zhou Xun never married again.

Uncle Zhou had followed Grandpa Zhou's path to power. If he was still alive, he definitely would have held a high position by now.

Second Uncle had left for the army and was now the head of the military sector.

Uncle Zhou had also entered the government on Wednesday, but he kept a low profile. Ten years ago, Uncle Zhou had been assassinated and raised by Grandpa Zhou. He was now living in a city in the southwest.

As for Aunt Zhou, she was the youngest and had always been spoiled by her family. After graduating from university, she had married into the Xiang Family.

I listened in silence, feeling that the Zhou family was quite harmonious.

However, I remember Zhou Xun saying that the Zhou Family is a whirlpool …

Why did he say that?

I couldn't help but look at him.

He stroked my hair and said, "Grandfather is already old, so in the end, he has to leave. No one can say what the final appearance of the Zhou family is like."

I still didn't quite understand what he meant.

His gaze darkened slightly as he said, "If my father did not die, of course my father would have been the one to take charge of this family … "But the current situation is that my second and third uncle both have the ability. My eldest brother and second brother have also cultivated their own forces …"

He didn't finish the sentence, but I understood.

In other words, it was possible for everyone to fight for the position of the clan head.

I couldn't help but ask, "What about Grandpa?"

Zhou Xun looked deeply at me and said, "Darling, you asked me the most important question. If grandfather were to express his opinion, there definitely wouldn't be any arguments."

I was surprised.

So Grandpa Zhou didn't appoint an heir?

But why was he not afraid of the internal conflict within the Zhou family?

After a long silence, Zhou Xun replied, "I don't quite understand grandfather's intentions either. Maybe he is waiting for the mastermind behind my father's murder to fall into the net …"

What does that have to do with choosing an heir?

In a split-second, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind … Could it be that Uncle Zhou's death was related to Uncle Tuesday or Uncle Wednesday?

Otherwise, Grandpa Zhou wouldn't have waited for Uncle Zhou to finish his business.

But when I think back to Second Uncle's family, they all seem to be very kind …

I covered my mouth and stared at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun saw through my thoughts and shook his head. "My father and second uncle have a good relationship with each other …"

On the surface, they seemed friendly, but that didn't mean they didn't have their own selfish motives.

However, I still don't understand what kind of people they were, so I naturally didn't dare to speak carelessly.

I thought for a moment and said, "Earlier, you told me that the Zhou family is a whirlpool. What do you mean?"

Zhou Xun carried me onto his lap. With a gloomy gaze, he slowly said, "It's both internal and external."

It was only a few words, but it was enough to point out the current situation of the Zhou family.

I've been with him for more than half a year, and I've seen some things. In order to find out the truth behind Uncle Zhou's assassination, he ran around everywhere. He did not hesitate to use his business as bait to deal with the mercenaries. Every time he did so, it was extremely dangerous. Just like this time, he was injured when he went to Africa.

As for the internal affairs of the Zhou family … I had always thought that they were very harmonious, but I didn't expect that there would be a fight for the Patriarch's position. It seems that there won't be any peace from now on.

I asked hesitantly, "Then who do you support?"

Zhou Shengmo's expression changed and he said, "Baby, you're so smart. Guess what."

Me: "…"

Logically speaking, his eldest brother and second brother were close to him, so he should be supporting his eldest brother and second brother. However, based on what he said, his relationship with second uncle and third uncle was pretty good …

I pondered for a moment. "You should still listen to grandfather's decision."

After all, his grandfather was the authority of this family.

Zhou Xun didn't expect me to say that. He stared at me with a gloomy expression in his eyes.

My heart tightened. "Did I say something wrong?"

He took me in his arms and kissed me on the cheek.

I smiled.

Actually, I only guessed it from the days I spent with Grandpa Zhou and his attitude towards Zhou Xun.

Then, I remembered that my grandfather seemed to value Zhou Xun very much. He had always been with me, and the wedding was arranged by my grandfather. At that time, the Zhou family wasn't even present …

All of a sudden, I was startled and couldn't help but hold tightly onto Zhou Xun's clothes. I asked uncertainly, "Grandfather, he …" Isn't that the best bet on you? "

Zhou Xun's eyes grew increasingly dark, and he pulled me onto his lap. "You guessed right again!"

So that's how it was!

No wonder he repeatedly told me that the Zhou family was very dangerous, because once he reached that step, he would be facing all of them. As his fiancee, I am definitely the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Xun cupped my face in his hands and gently wiped the corner of my mouth with his thumb. "Darling, you are really smart. I was not wrong about you back then."

I was stunned.

In his heart, I'm actually a smart person?

But I never thought I was smart... Back then, I might have been a bit shrewd in front of Su Yan, but facing a scheming and scheming person like Zhou Xun, I was like a toddler who had his IQ crushed by him.

I had no idea he had such a high opinion of me.

He kissed my forehead and said, "Grandfather's body is strong and healthy, so it is actually a little too early to consider the position of Patriarch. The main thing is to take revenge for dad, this point my brother and second brother and I got to agree. As for second and third uncle … He paused, then said, "With grandpa here, I'm not afraid of them attacking us."

I took his hand and said, "We will definitely be able to find the person who killed Uncle."

Zhou Xun frowned. "Uncle?"

I looked up at him.

Am I calling the wrong person?

The corner of his mouth curled up. "Of course I have to call him father."

It was only then that I realized he was making me change my mind.

Although Papa Zhou isn't here, I still feel a little shy. I bury my face in his arms and mutter, "I … "I got it …"

Zhou Xun chuckled and kissed the corner of my mouth, then emphasized the kiss.

After a while, I gasped for breath and collapsed into his arms.

If it weren't for the injuries on both of us, he would have already eaten me clean.

He rubbed my back and suddenly said, "Auntie …"

I softly interrupted him. "Grandfather told me that I'll treat my aunt with respect. If she doesn't like me, I'll just avoid her and not show myself before her eyes."

He was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry."

I shook my head.

Since she liked him, of course she had to respect the people he respected.

He hugged me tightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Aunt has always been living in this old house …"

I was stunned.

Then I realized why he had looked so grave when he said we were moving back to the old house. I'm probably just afraid that Aunt and I won't get along well. After all, Aunt Zhou and I have to live under the same roof every day.

After a brief moment of shock, I whispered, "I will pay attention."

Zhou Xun looked at me quietly for a moment before he said, "You don't have to be that careful …." Like you said, if you can't handle it, then just stay away and leave everything to me. "

My heart was slightly sweet as I smiled in agreement.

Although daughter-in-law relationship is the most difficult problem in the world, but as long as Zhou Xun supports me, I can persevere.

Then we washed up and decided to go to sleep.

I suddenly remembered what had happened at the school and quickly told Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun was not surprised at all. "I really did not get Ah Ning to take note of the group chat." Now that you have reminded me, I will ask Anin to investigate as soon as possible. Don't worry, there won't be any news for long. "

With his assurance, I naturally believed him.

He said, "Why don't you stay at home for a few days? You can go back to school after you settle things with Ah Ning."

I thought that since I've already promised Teacher Tang, I definitely must go. Besides, Teacher Tang recommended me to go to the task force, so I frequently applied for leave. I definitely can't let Teacher Tang down this time.

Although it is a little uncomfortable for me to be pointed out by others, I will definitely not lose a piece of my flesh, so I will just let them watch the show.

I replied, "It's fine. News like this will be spread very quickly."

Without another word, Zhou Xun embraced me and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a nightmare.

In my dream, my mother stood on top of the building, covered in blood, her hair disheveled, and asked me why I hadn't avenged her.

My entire body was drenched in sweat as I woke up screaming. However, I found that Zhou Xun was not beside me.

It made me even more confused.

I turned on all the lights in the bedroom and sat on the edge of the bed with the quilt in my arms for a long time.

I don't know if this is my mother to give me a hint, or I dream night and day, will be such a dream.

In fact, I've been thinking about it, and I don't think my mother could have killed herself. Although she has always been depressed, she was very good to me as well. She once said that no matter what, she had to wait for me to graduate from university and watch me get married before she can be at ease …

Maybe she really was hurt.

But there's no proof. Gong Shan told me that my mother was killed. Then she turned around and said that Shen Zixian had asked her to pass the message like this. But when I got close to Shen Zixian, I didn't get any leads.

Zhou Xun had also promised me that he would help me investigate this matter, but even now, there isn't any news on him.

Today, when I heard Zhou Xun talk about the murder of my father, I naturally thought of my mother, so before I fell asleep, I couldn't help but think a little too much.

I thought to myself, it seems that I should ask Zhou Tong to look into this matter.

Or... I can also give it to Zhou An, since he has already become my subordinate.

Just that, where did Zhou Xun go?

I looked at the empty space beside me and wondered where he had gone.

Did he go out on some business? Or go out for a walk when you can't sleep?

At times like these, I would naturally prefer to be curled up in Zhou Xun's warm and firm embrace, softly consoled by him.

But very quickly, I couldn't help but mock myself. In less than half a year, I had gotten used to finding Zhou Xun to settle everything, as if I couldn't leave him.

What would I do if I were to split up in the future …

I thought aimlessly, and fell asleep again, but the light in the room was on.
