novelThis Is My Wife, Jian Han

Zhou Heng withdrew his gaze. As he looked at Yun Wanqing, he had yet to say a word, but Zhou Dao, who was beside him, said, "You were harbouring ill intentions towards my mother, but you are still trying to deny it? There are many loopholes in what you are saying. Firstly, why would my mother follow your wife back to your home? Secondly, even if she followed you back home, why did my mother not contact us during the night? Thirdly, why would my mother fall down from the wheelchair for no good reason? Do you think that we are three years olds and so easy to fool?"
Zhou Heng had his own judgement in his heart. On the way here, he heard the bodyguards report the situation. Zhou Dao's questions that he brought up right now matched what he himself was considering. He had long thought that this couple was doing this on purpose.
But now, looking at this couple in front of him, they looked gentle and kind. He looked at their sincere gaze and hesitated.
Yue Wanqing pushed Ning Zhenguo away gently as she took a step forward. With her warm eyes, she bravely looked at Zhou Heng as she said, "Old Grandpa, my husband is speaking the truth. We are not lying. As for your son's three questions, there are many coincidences. We are unable to explain it, but Grandma fell down from the wheelchair. I do have a responsibility in that. What about this: we will wait for Grandma to wake up. After Grandma wakes up, the truth will come to light."
"Wait till Grandma wakes up?" Zhou Zhilei laughed coldly."What if my grandma is unable to wake up?"
Yue Wanqing said, "For each day Grandma is unable to wake up, I will treat her as my mother and take care of her."
Zhou Heng froze. After he heard Yue Wanqing say the word, "Mother, " he hesitated as her words went into the depths of his heart.
At this moment, Kong Lan used her eyes to give Tong Li a hint. Tong Li came forward quickly as she tugged Zhou Heng's sleeve."Dad, what do you think? Although we do not know what happened at that time, they are unable to be separated from the fact that Mum got injured. We can see them behaving like this right now, but we do not know their true intentions inside their hearts. If they really did have bad intentions towards Mum... Mum is a coma right now. We are also not sure if it is really an accident. What about this: we will hand these two over to the police to investigate. Let the police officers bring them away and question them slowly."
Ning Zhenguo was alarmed."Without any evidence, you want to send us to the police station?"
Zhou Dao laughed coldly."Both of you have hurt my mother, and you are still saying that there is no evidence? Furthermore, what kind of family is the Zhou family? Can't we send whoever we want to the police station?"
Zhou Dao's words exposed his cruel character immediately. Zhou Heng listened on and had a frown on his face. He looked at Zhou Dao, feeling displeased.
Ning Zhenguo was also unhappy. Immediately, he replied, "It is the middle of the day, and you all are thinking of ignoring the law? We will leave right now. If you have the ability, come over and arrest us then."
Ning Zhenguo held Yue Wanqing's hands as they left.
At this moment, Kong Lan shrieked out loud."Someone come over, they want to escape. Come over and arrest them quickly, send them over to the police station for me."
The situation turned into chaos immediately.
Yue Wanqing did not want to leave, but she was dragged away by Ning Zhenguo. She did not know who pushed her from behind, and she almost crashed into the wall.
How could both of them escape the group of bodyguards? Ning Zhenguo and Yue Wanqing were blocked in a moment. Someone stretched out their hands to grab them. A deep and confident voice rang out at this critical moment."Who dares to touch a single strand of my parents' hair?"
Everyone turned their heads back. Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing came in.
Lu Shaoming was dressed in a light blue shirt with black trousers. There was a striped tie on his neck. He was dressed formally. He had a frown on his face while he looked over. His sharp, dark gaze was like a hawk's as he scanned those bodyguards casually.
The bodyguards felt their scalps turn numb, and they lowered their heads down."Young Master Lu."
"Dad, Mum, are you okay?" Ning Qing ran forward quickly. She saw that Ning Zhenguo was fine, and she held her mother's elbow as she examined her carefully, "Mum, did you get injured?"
Yue Wanqing shook her head."I am not injured."
At this moment, Zhou Heng said in shock, "Ning Qing, this is your... mother?"
Ning Qing stood up straight, and her beautiful eyes were focused on Zhou Heng as she said, "Old Master Zhou, yes. This is my dad. This is my mum. We rushed over after receiving my father's call. I didn't expect to see this situation. Can I ask Old Master Zhou what is the meaning of this?"
No matter how good Ning Qing's character and temper was, she saw her parents surrounded by a group of menacing bodyguards and could not help but be angered. If she had come a little later, she does not know what would have happened.
Zhou Heng did not think that this would be Ning Qing's mother. She was the person who wowed him with her wine brewing skills. No matter how much he heard about her, it all did not compare to meeting her in person, but their first meeting was a bad beginning.
Zhou Heng had yet to say anything, and at this moment, Zhou Dao said, "Mrs. Lu, my mother was hurt in the Ning family villa and had to go to the hospital. Your parents were the only ones at the scene. Your parents are suspected of hurting her. We are going to send your parents to the police station to investigate this issue thoroughly."
"Heh." Lu Shaoming laughed casually as he took a stride with his long legs. His cold, imposing aura was clear as he protected Ning Qing behind him. He lifted his eyebrows up. He did not say much, but his voice was deep and slow, making others unable to discern his emotions at that moment."You said that my parents are suspects, but I said that my parents are not suspects. President Zhou, who do you think the police would believe?"
Zhou Dao was at a loss for words. Lu Shaoming was confident and powerful. Speaking on the power structure of T City, the Zhou family could not be compared to the Lu family. They were of a different league.
"Shaoming, young girl Ning Qing, I think this is all a misunderstanding. Since these two people are your parents, then I believe that they are innocent. There must be something that we've overlooked. After concluding the operation, after Xiao Hui wakes up, everything will naturally come to light, " Zhou Heng said.
"Dad." Zhou Dao and Kong Lan protested immediately.
Zhou Heng looked at them with a stern expression in his eyes. He lowered his volume to chide them."Both of you do not feel embarrassed at all?!"
Zhou Zhilei laughed coldly in her heart. To be honest, this old thing was still biased towards Ning Qing and her mother. It seemed like this kinship was really very magical.
At this moment, the doors of the operating theatre opened up, and the doctor walked out.
Zhou Heng and Yue Wanqing rushed forward at the same time. At the same time, they both said, "Doctor, how is the patient doing?"
The doctor looked at them both and removed the mask that he wore over his mouth."The patient's brain injury is very serious. Thankfully, she was sent to the hospital in time. The surgery is very successful, and we will see when the patient wakes up. I will have to advise everyone here to prepare yourselves mentally. The patient's body is unable to hold on for much longer, and time is running out."
Yue Wanqing heard the doctor's words and her legs crumbled."Mum!" Ning Qing supported her quickly.
Zhou Heng's expression turned dark, and his straight back became arched, as if he had instantly aged ten years.
At this moment, the nurse pushed the bed out. Grandma was pushed into the high dependency ward, and had to stay in the hospital for further observation.
...
The corridor became quiet again/ Zhou Heng brought his entire family over to the hospital ward to look at Grandma. Yue Wanqing's family stood by the door to look on. At this moment: "Shaoming, Ning Qing..." Zhou Dayuan and Jian Han walked over.
Lu Shaoming stood up straight as he said, "Dayuan, you are here."
"Yeah, I have heard of the situation here. What is wrong with my grandma?" Zhou Dayuan asked.
With his gaze, Lu Shaoming pointed towards the hospital ward as he said, "Go in and have a look."
"Okay." Zhou Dayuan let go of Jian Han's small hands as he gently ordered her, "Stand here and don't run anywhere else. I will go in to take a look at Grandma."
Jian Han nodded her head. At this moment, Ning Qing stretched her hand out to hold Jian Han."Older Brother Dayuan, Older Sister Jian is not a child anymore. She will not run off. Go in, quickly."
Jian Han could tell that Ning Qing was teasing him, and her small face was blushing red as she gave a displeased look at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing spat out her tongue playfully.
Zhou Dayuan pushed the door and headed in.
...
Zhou Heng in the hospital ward saw Zhou Dayuan walk in. He had a benevolent expression on his face. He stretched his hand out to pat Zhou Dayuan's broad shoulders as he softly said, "Dayuan, you are here. It is good for you to come over. A few days ago, your grandma mentioned you. She said that she has not seen you for such a long time now, and she misses you very much."
Zhou Zhilei listened on and snorted. Her grandparents were too weird, just as if Zhou Dayuan was not like her older brother, as they just favoured her older brother only.
Zhou Zhilei lifted her gaze to look at both Grandfather and grandson. Her gaze suddenly turned bright. She was puzzled. Just by looking at their side profile, she actually could see the similarity between the pair.
Zhou Zhilei shuddered. She suddenly felt that Zhou Dayuan's character was extremely similar to Zhou Heng. Both of them were the type to be loyal in their love, and they would protect a woman for their entire lives.
Zhou Dayuan spoke with Grandma's main physician before he examined Grandma's body. Zhou Dayuan had the same conclusion; Grandma's days were numbered in these two weeks.
They could not stay in the high dependency ward for too long. Everyone walked out and closed the door behind them. Both families stood along the corridor to speak.
Zhou Heng pointed at Dou Dou and introduced her to Zhou Dayuan."Dayuan, this is my daughter Dou Dou. I found her early this morning and brought her back."
With his words, Lu Shaoming, Ning Qing, Zhou Dayuan, and Jian Han's gazes turned over to Tong Li. Their faces were confused, as they were suspicious and in disbelief.
How could a person change so drastically? Zhou Heng and Tong Li stood together and seemed like two different people from different worlds, and they did not look compatible with one another.
Zhou Dayuan lifted his eyelids, and his voice was confident as usual."Grandpa, have you tested the DNA already? Take a strand over here and hand it to me. I will go test the DNA."
Zhou Heng nodded his head."It sounds good, DNA is important. I will hand it over to you. Grandpa can trust you entirely."
Zhou Heng took a strand of his own hair and handed it over to Zhou Dayuan. Tong Li was also quick in her actions. She took a piece from the back of her head and handed it to Zhou Dayuan.
Zhou Dayuan looked on and had a frown on his face."A short piece of hair?"
Tong Li looked at Zhou Dayuan. The man's gaze was sparkling with a cold and intelligent glow. He was the same type of person Lu Shaoming was. His refined and elegant aura that was uneasy for others to interact and approach him with was not reflected on his exterior, and he just used his gaze to express it.
Tong Li stumbled in shock.
At this moment, Kong Lan smiled and said, "Dayuan, it is very normal for a woman to have short hair. Why are you so shocked?"
Tong Li did have a short head of hair. It was very very short. It was similar to a man's cut. Zhou Dayuan looked at Tong Li again. He would not expose his suspicions, and he would let the evidence speak for itself.
He took a Ziploc bag to seal the two strands of hair.
At this moment. He turned around, and stretched his hand out towards Jian Han who was standing beside Ning Qing."Come over."
Jian Han was beckoned over. She froze for a moment. There were so many people around. Everyone in the Zhou family was present. She did not hesitate. She was calm as she extended her small hand and allowed him to hold her hand in his palm.
"Grandpa, Dad, Mum, I will let you guys know, I have gotten married already. This is my wife, Jian Han."
"What?" Zhou Dao and Kong Lan's expressions changed drastically, and it was only at that moment that they saw the diamond ring on Jian Han's right ring finger.
