| ← Ch.0433 | Ch.0435 → |
Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing rejected many work offers. They worked five days a week and took two days of rest. She sat on the wheelchair everyday while she looked at Little Qinwen hide everything that he did not like to eat. He took the chance when his Daddy and his Mama were not around to hand it over to her secretly for her to eat.
She wanted to eat, but she did not get to eat it even once, because his Daddy Lu Shaoming had a pair of eyes in the back of his head. Even when he was reading the newspaper on the sofa, one expression in his eyes was enough — Eat it yourself!
After that, Little Qinwen snorted childishly and turned his head around to eat them up obediently.
Grandma also like to watch Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing. Her granddaughter and grandson-in-law. Even when they looked each other in the eye, it was full of love, and she squinted her eyes as she thought to herself emotionally. It was still best to be young. She also knew that they would spend the most passionate feelings that they had for each other when they were young and turn it into everlasting love when they got old.
She was relieved.
As for Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing, she naturally had things to say to them. There was an afternoon with a sunset in the sky. Song Yajing took the initiative to come by her side, squatted down, and held her hand as she said, "Grandma, I know everything that you want to say. In the past, I did not see the good points of Qing Qing. I was at fault. When I liked Qingqing, she was still not the young miss of the Zhou family. After that, I did not bully her for not having a good background. If you do not believe Shaoming, then I will guarantee, as long as I am here for a day, and as long as Little Qinwen is around, Qingqing would forever be the matriarch of the Lu family."
She nodded her head, and was comforted. She did not think that the men would be fickle, but as a grandmother, she wanted to give her own granddaughter the best treatment and guarantee.
Now, there wasn't much that she could do.
As for Zhou Dao, Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei, she asked Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng said everything was settled, and she was comforted.
She let her heart be at ease, and now as the days passed, she felt her own life slowly disappear before her. Everything that she had once loved and hated, she would hand it all over to them. She did not have any more strength to worry anymore.
As for the Zhou family's winery and their estate, that naturally belonged to her Dou Dou. Giving birth to her, the last thing she could pass down as treated as her love for her child. Of course, half of everything in the Zhou family would be given to Zhou Dayuan. In her heart, he was her grandson also.
...
It was a beautiful, bright, and windy day. The entire family had lunch together, and Zhou Heng pushed Grandma onto the grass patch. Zhou Dayuan stood in the living room, watching the news on the television.
For the past few days, all the outlets were reporting on Zhou Zhilei officially taking over the management of the Zhou family winery. The reporter held the microphone in her hands as she reported, "Good afternoon, everyone. I am now at the news conference of the Zhou Corporation Winery. It is also the day that the king of wineries, Zhou Heng, will officially bid farewell at this dinner and dance. We know from our sources, everything in Zhou Heng's name will be transferred to his granddaughter, Zhou Zhilei. Zhou Zhilei would be the magnate in the world of red wine, and she'll be worth billions..."
The report was zoomed in on Zhou Zhilei. She was dressed in professional attire, looking experienced and neat. When she entered the venue, she was surrounded by bodyguards. The scene was grand and luxurious. There was a smile on her face, and she looked delighted.
Zhou Dayuan had a cold, thin smile on the corners of his lips. How could she not be happy? It was everything in the Zhou family, and the entire Zhou family.
At this moment, a large hand patted his shoulder. A deep and charming voice rang out."What are you looking at? Why are you smiling like that?"
Zhou Dayuan turned back to have a look, and Lu Shaoming was by his side.
"You came right on time. I have something to ask you; what is going on right now?" Zhou Dayuan had both of his hands in his pockets and used his gaze to point at the television screen.
Lu Shaoming lifted his handsome eyebrows up. His thin, dark-blue shirt made him look tall and attractive. He smiled without revealing any emotions as he said, "Don't tell me that you didn't guess what happened?"
Between intelligent people, they did not have to explain it clearly.
"Yeah." Zhou Dayuan nodded his head and his warm eyes looked at the grass patch that was a distance away from him. Zhou Heng was pushing Grandma's wheelchair over there, and Little Qinwen was playing happily out front."I am a doctor myself. I would naturally know the meaning when two people are allergic to the same type of flower. Aunt inherited it from my grandfather, then who did I inherit it from? Other... than my grandfather, who else could it be? My parents did not treat me too well or too poorly ever since I was young. To say it strictly, they did not bother with me, just as if I was a person who was not needed, but they treated Zhilei very well. They treated her as a precious baby as they pampered her..."
Zhou Dayuan laughed as he mocked himself as his smile turned cold."I personally performed that DNA test. The results cannot be wrong. At that time, where did that strand of hair that Tong Li have come from? I did not understand it all. I am still unclear right now. How much hatred do my parents actually have, not considering the fact that they made Dou Dou lost, and also created an illegitimate child as they reared him up by their side. It was probably when they looked at me address my own biological father as my grandfather, and my grandmother, she treated a son that her husband had out of an affair as her own biological grandson. They probably felt that it was very funny."
As he spoke, Zhou Dayuan looked at Lu Shaoming, "How about my mother then? My biological mother."
Lu Shaoming pursed his thin lips as he said, "She died from complications when she gave birth to you."
Zhou Dayuan nodded his head, and his expression was calm as he said, "What kind of person was she?"
Lu Shaoming was silent and did not say a single word.
Zhou Dayuan curled the corners of his lips up."You don't have to be wary of my pride and not say it. I can guess it myself. She was probably... in that type of business. My parents purposely made my grandfather drunk, and he was in a blur that night, and after that, they had me. My grandfather did not know about my existence, and my parents treated me as their biggest ace card."
"Dayuan." Lu Shaoming gently said, "It is no use to care about this right now, there is no need to do so."
The meaning behind Lu Shaoming's words was... he guessed it correctly.
Zhou Dayuan's tall figure moved about for a moment. He drooped his warm eyes downwards, and his voice got colder by the minute together with a touch of self mocking."Why do you have to give everything in the Zhou family over to them?"
"Because, firstly, Grandma does not have many days left. We cannot tell Grandma your true background, and secondly, your biological parents, we cannot say it out loud."𝑓𝒓𝐞e𝓌𝘦𝘣ｎo𝐯𝒆𝘭 - 🅽🅽novel
Zhou Dayuan expressed his understanding. What kind of person he actually was — he was an illegitimate child who could not be exposed to the public. How could he let Grandma find out?
If Grandma found out that the grandson whom she loved and pampered so much was actually her beloved husband's bastard of another woman, how would Grandma react?
It would take Grandma's life.
Grandma's life was bitter and hard, and they could not let her pass away feeling regret.
Furthermore, he had such a biological mother with such a background; how could he let others know about it?
He was lonely and arrogant in his life. He felt that other than Jian Han, he gave all of his best moments of his life to the operating theatre. He was not tired as he tried to help others and had a promising career in the medical industry. The white coat that he was wearing had others make their conclusions. Did he have enough love to love everything that was on this earth?
There was no one who could bear to dirty his white coat. People's words were important. There was no one who hoped that he would become the topic of gossip whom others would discuss like the leading male character in a primetime television melodramatic soap opera.
Zhou Dayuan understood. He understood everything.
Grandma and him, even though he was an illegitimate child, both of them could be exchanged with the entire assets of the Zhou family.
Zhou Dayuan did not say anything more. He turned back and left.
...
After Zhou Dayuan left, Ning Qing walked over. She looked at Zhou Dayuan's back profile and had a frown on her face, "Shaoming, what did you say to Older Brother Dayuan? Does Older Brother Dayuan already know everything?"
Lu Shaoming nodded his head and said, "Yeah."
Ning Qing was still worried, and she said, "I will go take a look."
Someone that he always addressed as grandfather had suddenly turned into his own biological father. No matter who met with such a matter, they all needed time to digest it. Ning Qing wanted to go forward to comfort Zhou Dayuan.
But a muscular arm appeared in front of her. Lu Shaoming blocked her, and the man laughed."He doesn't need to comfort him at this moment. Didn't you see where he was heading?"
It was only then that Ning Qing realized that Zhou Dayuan was heading for the guest room. In this period of time, Jian Han and him lived there, and Jian Han was inside the room now.
Zhou Dayuan went to look for Jian Han.
"But..." Ning Qing was still worried.
At this moment, the muscular arm that was blocking her body suddenly came to pin her soft waist. She turned around, and she was pulled into an embrace with the man hugging her from behind."Wifey, don't say 'but' anymore. Dayuan is way more clear about this issue compared to you. Using everything that the Zhou family had in exchange for him, how could he not understand."
Ning Qing's senses were very quickly invaded with the clean and crisp scent that was on the man's body. She moved her small body around, wanting to escape from him, but his body was hard just as if it were made out of metal. She could not struggle at all. She could only looked at him with a displeased expression on her face as she blushed."Let go, there are people around. We might be seen by someone at any moment."
Lu Shaoming did not let go. He had a frown on his face as he sternly asked, "Wifey, letting everything in the Zhou family go to someone else, do you think that it is a pity?"
Ning Qing stopped moving. She curled her beautiful maroon lips up as she looked at him."Oi, Lu Shaoming, your wife is the Young Miss of the Zhou family, but now, this Young Miss has turned into an empty rack. You don't even have any time to be delighted. Do you think that it is a pity?"
Lu Shaoming placed his strong jaw on her shoulders and used force to nudge her for a moment."How come you are speaking as if as I knew that you were the Young Miss of the Zhou family when I married you?"
Ning Qing was feeling ticklish when he nudged her. She gurgled in laughter, and she winked her eye at the man. She placed both of her hands on her waist as she laughed coyly."You can't, Lu Shaoming. I am the Young Miss of the Zhou family now. We are on equal footing now. My position in the family has to be raised up. In the future, you have to listen to me. if I ask you to face the east, you would not dare to face the West."
Lu Shaoming listened to her words and cursed softly."Little bastard, how long have I not taught you a lesson already? You are lacking one right now?"
Ning Qing noticed that the situation was not right. She was very helpless, and she lifted her legs and ran.
...
Zhou Dayuan came into the room. Jian Han was standing on the balcony, and she had a little watering pot in her hands. She was watering a pot of flowers.
She was dressed in a long white dress today. She had a small red shirt on the outside, and Zhou Dayuan looked at her slim, frail back profile. Her silk-like hair was tucked behind her ears. Her small plain, pale face had a pink aura to it. The coyness and gentleness of a woman was all apparent on her now, and she looked attractive and warm.
Zhou Dayuan felt his heart soften. He lifted his long legs and hugged her firmly in his embrace from behind.
Jian Han was suddenly attacked, and she froze for a moment, but when she had a whiff of the familiar and mesmerizing scent on his body, she softened her body. Her small white hand touched his large hand that he placed on her small belly. She smiled softly as she said, "What's wrong? You are hugging me the moment you come in."
