Chapter 417: Did You Always Take Your Medication?
Grandma’s entire heart was delighted. It was fine. It was fine. Ning Qing was her biological granddaughter. With her around, in the future, she would become the pillar of the entire Zhou family. The Lu family could not let her precious granddaughter endure any suffering at all.
Who was Song Yajing? When she thought of the past, when Song Yajing entered the main doors of the Lu family, she still obediently kneeled before her as she offered her tea as she addressed her as, “Madam Zhou”
Also, she also knew that Zhou Zhilei had feelings for Lu Shaoming. She snorted coldly. That was just her imagination. Shaoming’s taste, he knew what was good. He knew the difference between an authentic and counterfeit product.
He probably still did not know that his wife was the biological granddaughter that the Zhou family had searched for 40 years now….
No, when she returned home. She had to chase Zhou Zhilei somewhere far far away. All the people who made her precious granddaughter unhappy, she would make all of them disappear with her role as a grandmother.
Also, who was that cute pink young kid called… Lu Qinwen…
Her great grandson?
Grandma could not stop smiling. Cute! Adorable! Little Qin Wen had the superior genes of both the Lu and Zhou families, and no matter what he had, it was all of the best.
Grandma looked at Yue Wanqing. There was a sparkling glow in her clouded eyes. “Wanqing, I heard your daughter…she won the champions.h.i.+p during the Zhou Corporation’s red wine compet.i.tion a few days ago. She has an interest in red wine…”
“Grandma, that girl Qingqing followed in my footsteps. She inherited my talent in red wine. There are some moments in my life when I suspect that my biological parents probably are brewers of red wine.” Yue Wanqing joked around.
Grandma nodded her head inside her heart. Silly Dou Dou, not only did your biological parents brew red wine, they even started a winery.
Grandma was proud. Her Dou Dou had left her for 40 years. She did not lose her talent in red wine, and it was even pa.s.sed down to her granddaughter.
Although Dou Dou’s father did not say it, he always regretted that the Zhou family winery did not have any suitable successors.
This was good now. Who was his successor?
The successor of the Zhou family winery had to be Ning Qing.
Grandma’s heart felt good. It has been 40 years now. Her depressed feelings completely disappeared. She had never dared to imagine that her Dou Dou was living such a good life although she had left her.
She let it go.
To a mother, the hards.h.i.+ps that she went through were nothing. As long as Dou Dou was leading a good life, she would feel well.
Knock, knock, knock! The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Ning Zhenguo stood at the side of the door. He was was.h.i.+ng the dishes in the kitchen previously. He had yet to roll the sleeves of his s.h.i.+rt down, and he looked at Yue Wanqing. He wanted to speak but hesitated. “Wanqing, it is late now. You go to tidy the guest room. Help grandma wash up later, and let grandma rest.”
Yue Wanqing listened as she looked at Grandma. “Grandma, it is inconvenient for you to move about. Why not let me accompany you then?”
After that, Grandma, who was sharp, noticed that Ning Zhenguo froze in his expressions.
Grandma smiled as she waved her hands. “I don’t need it. I am under your roof. I still need your husband to use his strength tomorrow. I cannot offend your husband now.”
Yue Wanqing froze. She understood that Ning Zhenguo came just now to rush her. Her face was red. “Grandma, you are joking with me. We are an old couple already.”
Ning Zhenguo was also embarra.s.sed now. He touched his head, smiled, and said, “Grandma, Wanqing was not at home last night. She went to the orphanage. I wanted to know the specific details of the orphanage. I had something to say to her, so…”
Grandma laughed in her heart. What specific details. The situation was that you have married the only daughter of the king of wineries in the world, Zhou Heng, and with all glory.
“Okay, don’t explain further. I understand it all.”
Ning Zhenguo also stopped explaining. The more he explained, the worse it got. He pushed the wheelchair. Yue Wanqing went to tidy the room up, and both of them placated grandma and ensured that she slept before they left.
Grandma lay on the bed. Actually, she did not mind to sleep with Dou Dou, but she was afraid she was unable to control herself and would let it out of her mouth.
She did not know if Dou Dou could accept her, and she did not know if Dou Dou would believe her.
She would contact Dou Dou’s father early next morning. She would take evidence and the amulet over to take her back. She wanted to open the doors of the Zhou family to formally welcome Dou Dou back, and she wanted to announce it to the entire world.
…
Jian Han was in the main lobby of the airport. After she arrived at T City, she went back to her condominium unit. She prepared her luggage two days ago, together with her pa.s.sport and plane tickets.
The announcement rang out in her ears, “All pa.s.sengers, please take note. The plane T-21 departing for Singapore has started to board. Please go towards….”
Jian Han stood up straight, she used her left hand to hold her luggage. She turned her head to have a look, to look at the large hall of the airport for the last time. T City, she bid farewell for the last time.
She would not come back again.
Her heart was broken.
But, she was still searching. In the large hall that was empty, she stared at the door. She still wanted to have a last glance at that person.
But, he did not appear.
Jian Han withdrew her gaze. She turned around and walked towards customs.
At this moment: “Jian Han!” A voice stopped her.
Jian Han froze, and there was joy in her eyes, but this joy darkened very quickly. She could tell the voice of the person very clearly. It was not him, but Tang Fan who came.
Jian Han turned back.
Tang Fan stood behind her. Tang Fan held luggage in his hands as he said, “Jian Han, let’s go. I will go back to Singapore with you.”
Jian Han had a frown on her face. “Tang Fan, I have already told you very clearly, don’t follow me back to Singapore. Also, don’t waste more time on me.You are now the only son in the Tang family, Old Master Tang would also not accept me, and me, I am also unable to accept you. I really have to thank you for the years that you have accompanied me for. I don’t want to harm you, so Tang Fan, let me go.”
Tang Fan placed the luggage down. He took two steps forward and stretched his hand out to hug Jian Han in his embrace. He lowered his gaze to kiss her hair. “Jian Han, I will not force you. We can be the same as we were in the past, and be only friends… Look at how slim you are. You don’t even have any weight when I hug you in my arms. You are pregnant now! How can I not be worried to let you leave all by yourself?”
“Tang Fan.” He was hugging her, Jian Han stretched her hand out to push him away. She struggled weakly as she said, ” Let me go. I…”
She had yet to finish speaking. There was cold and piercing voice that rang in her ears, “What are you two doing right now?”
Jian Han cast her gaze sideways. Her irises contracted. Zhou Dayuan came over.
The man wore the same thin green sweater that he wore yesterday. The lines on his trousers that were like flowing water had creases on due to him wearing it day and night. It was probably because he rushed over, there was still a cold and crisp aura on his body when he paused, and he still looked stunning as usual.
He stood up straight with two fingers on one hand holding his car keys, but his other hand was kneaded tightly into a fist as he glared at her.
Jian Han was fl.u.s.tered. She placed both of her small hands on Tang Fan’s chest and pushed him away harshly. She wanted to explain, but she lowered her head when she saw his cruel, icy-cold gaze.
At this moment, Tang Fan stood out as he said, “Zhou Dayuan, you came just in time. I am preparing to go back to Singapore with Jian Han right now. Are you here to send us… Woo…”
Jian Han noticed that there was something wrong, she lifted her head as she saw two bodyguards dressed in black block Tang Fan’s mouth and drag Tang Fan away.
Jian Han froze and went to chase him quickly, “Tang Fan…Tang…”
Her wrists were pinned down by another large palm.
“Jian Han, where are you going? You are bringing my son along to elope with another man now? Why?” The man was trying to rein in his anger, and his voice was…hoa.r.s.e.
It was only then that Jian Han realized that his large hand that he placed on her wrist was taking her pulse.
Jian Han’s face drained of color. She used strength to take her hand back, but she stumbled in her footing. She retreated a few steps, and it turned out that she reacted too vigorously. The hand that he pinned on her hand did not use any strength at all.
Jian Han froze. When he pinned her wrist last night, he hated that he could not shatter her into pieces, but now he did not use any strength… Was he afraid…of hurting her?
He really knew that she was pregnant.
Jian Han shook her head. She stuttered with her soft voice, “Zhou Dayuan, you go away. Don’t touch me…. The child in my belly has nothing to do with you. He was me and…”
“Jian Han!” Zhou Dayuan controlled his voice, as he looked at her frail and silly look. It was as if she would fall when the wind blew over. She was so afraid of him. Her entire body was shaking. He could not help the anger and pain that he had in his beautiful and clear eyes. “If you dare to allow those words to leave your mouth… Your son is listening to you!”
Jian Han stopped talking, she used one of her small hand to protect her flat belly. Baby, I am so so sorry. Mummy was in a rush just now. Mummy should not have said it just now.
Whose child you are would not change/ n.o.body can s.n.a.t.c.h the right for you to be born. Your surname is Zhou.
Jian Han’s heart was really painful. It was so uncomfortable after getting pierced by him. The amount of grievance that she felt these past few days, she was also guilty towards the baby… The tip of her nose was sour, and her sparkling tears trickled down her face.
She knew that she was very useless. He did not want her anymore. She should lead her life even better to prove to him, but she only knew how to cry.
In front of him, she only knew how to cry.
She lowered her head. A pair of white leather shoes appeared in her line of vision that was blurred with tears. That man stood in front of her as he asked her, “You have been pregnant for exactly four weeks. Tracing the days, it was on the day before I left for the business trip. I saw that you bought contraceptive pills. Did you not take them all this while?”
The man was skilled in his craft. He was a double PhD holder in both western and eastern medicine. He just took her pulse. What could escape him then?
Jian Han nodded her head as she cried as she said, “I only…went into the pharmacy…but I didn’t buy…”
She said she did not buy medication.
Zhou Dayuan looked at the woman in front of him. He felt that his heart was like a lake that was ruffled by a feather before it created multiple ripples. She was sobbing very hard. Her small, frail shoulders were s.h.i.+vering helplessly. She did not dare to lift her head up to look at him, and she only showed him her small head of flowing black hair.
There were some times that she really made him feel both hate and love. He did not know what to do at all.
And it was also such a woman. She had silently accepted his seed that he released into her, and now she was pregnant with a son.
His son!
Zhou Dayuan stretched his right hand out. He used his finger to graze the tears on her face lightly as he said, “Don’t cry anymore, okay? Pregnant women should not be crying. Your bad emotions can prevent the baby from developing normally.”
Jian Han understood this, but she still could not stop her tears because he bullied her.
He bullied her like this.
She didn’t even know why he was so angry at her, and the reason why they quarrelled with one another up until now.
She also felt it was absurd.
At this moment, there was a warmth on her shoulder. Her entire being was brought into a warm, broad embrace. Her silk like hair weaved in the man’s fingers. He kissed every single tear on her face lovingly. “So, you didn’t hate me last night, but you only wanted to vomit because you were pregnant?”
Jian Han’s long lashes that were like thin fans fluttered. The man’s handsome and warm face was close to her. He was afraid that she would vomit, and he did not dare to kiss her lips. He was also afraid that she would be unable to accept the scent on his body. Even his actions when he kissed her tears became careful and slow. She crashed into his sparkling dark eyes. All he had in his eyes was gentleness.
