With her words, everyone present on the scene was shocked.
Zhou Dao was only so young at that time. Such young child knew how to kidnap someone else, so he must be so sinister and evil.
Zhou Dao stood up straight. He did not feel regret at all. He slowly put on a smile on his face. He nodded his head and said, “Yes, it was me!”
Slap! Zhou Heng came forward and hit him. Zhou Heng’s eyes were red as he scolded him loudly. “Beast! If I had known this early on, I wouldn’t have saved you. I would have let you fend for yourself as a beggar!”
The corners of Zhou Dao’s lips were bleeding. He stretched out his thumb to wipe the blood off. There was no anger on his face. He looked at Zhou Heng with a sinister smile.
His attitude was extremely wild.
At this moment, Grandma snorted coldly and said, “Not only is Zhou Dao a beast, even his wife, and even the daughter that he has given birth to are no good at all! Dou Dou’s father, I spent a night at Dou Dou’s home that night. The next morning, I called you early in the morning wanting to tell you this piece of good news, but Zhou Zhilei picked up the phone/ She told me that I’d found a counterfeit good. She said that Dou Dou cannot truly return to the doors of the Zhou family. She even said that everything in the Zhou family belonged to her. She meant to use her words to provoke me; she wanted me to die!”
Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Zhilei. He stared at her with anger in his eyes. He was shaking with his anger as he said, “Okay, this really proves that a daughter would be the same as her father. Your family of three is so evil. You don’t care about giving back and being thankful. You’re all worse than beasts!”
Kong Lan laughed coldly. “Dad, what’s the point of saying all of this now? We are all grown up now. We are over the age of to be listening to you lecture us.”
“Okay, you all are really amazing.” Zhou Heng stretched his hand out to point at the main doors. “I am inviting you all to get lost. Exit the Zhou family. As for the matter involving the kidnap of Dou Dou 40 years ago, I will not end everything right here. We will meet in court. I want to see what would you still have after leaving the Zhou family. Wherever I picked you up from 40 years ago, I, Zhou Heng will send you all back there!”
Zhou Dao’s eyes lit up. He believed everything Zhou Heng said right now. The fact that he was worth nothing after he left the Zhou family was true, but the key point was, how was he going to leave the Zhou family?
“Dou Dou’s father, what are you being so long winded with them for? Let someone come and chase them out first. We will settle our debts with them another day…”
Grandma was too emotional. She had just awoken not long ago. It was bad for her health for her to experience intense emotions, and she did not have much strength left in her body. She touched her own chest, and suddenly bent over.
“Mum!” Yue Wanqing turned her body around quickly. “Mum, are you okay? Where does it hurt?”
Zhou Dayuan stepped forward, and he had a serious expression on his face while he solemnly said, “Grandma had signs of fainting. She needs to rest immediately. We should all go home now. We will discuss what to do in the future at a later date.”
“Okay.” Zhou Heng agreed and he pushed the wheelchair personally. “Let’s go. We will go out first.”
Zhou Zhilei looked at the group of people who followed Grandma out, and she looked at Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming. Neither of them said a word for the entire duration, and she did not know what both of them were thinking.
Zhou Zhilei curled the corners of her lips up, smiled, and said, “Mrs. Lu, your grandmother fainted, and you are such a filial person. Why didn’t you go and take a look at her?”
Ning Qing welcomed Zhou Zhilei’s gaze, and her beautiful and clear eyes had a sharp ferocity. “Miss Zhou, Madam Zhou, President Zhou, I am waiting for all of you to speak. We have yet to speak about the main topic; how can I leave before then?”
Zhou Dao and Kong Lan’s facial expressions changed. They looked Ning Qing in the eye. There were some times that they were really jealous. They had not known whose intelligence Ning Qing inherited after all.
Zhou Dao turned his body sideways. He looked at Zhou Heng who was about to step out of the main doors, and he said, “Dad, you stay behind, we should have a chat.”
Ning Qing’s gaze lit up, and they were finally going to head to the main topic.
Zhou Heng snorted coldly. He did not even turn his head and said, “I don’t have anything to say to all of you…”
“Grandpa,” Ning Qing said to interrupt him. She had a beautiful smile on her face as she said, “Since they want to have a chat, then the power of decision making in our hands. We can stay behind to hear them out, and we would not lose out at all.”
Ning Qing winked her eye playfully at Zhou Heng.
Hearing his own granddaughter speak, Zhou Heng stopped in his tracks. Yue Wanqing took over the wheelchair as she pushed Grandma. Zhou Dayuan was beside them, and Zhou Heng felt secure. He turned back and went into the room.
The room was left with the family of three, also the family of three here, and there were six of them in total.
Zhou Heng had a frustrated expression on his face. It was obvious that he did not want to speak to them at all. These few years, he had sincerely treated Zhou Dao as his own son, and he never thought that Zhou Dao would betray him so badly.
“What do all of you want to say; if there’s anything, say it quickly.”
Zhou Dao took a step forward. There was a smile on his face, “Dad, you are also old in age. It is time for you to retire now. Zhou Corporation Red Wine needs a successor. All of the assets in your name also need a successor. Aren’t you considering writing a will now?”
Zhou Heng listened to these words and all of the blood in his body rushed towards his brain. “All of you…”
“Grandpa,” Ning Qing stepped forward quickly. She stretched her hand out to hold Zhou Heng’s elbow as she advised him softly. “Grandpa, you are not in good health. why don’t take a seat to rest for a moment. If you believe in me, I can be your representative and speak to them on your behalf.”
Lu Shaoming also stepped forward. He did not have much emotion on his face. He looked just like how he would look on a usual day, cold and confident. He held Zhou Heng’s elbow as he said, “Old Master Zhou, have a seat first then. Let Ning Qing do it.”
Zhou Heng trusted Ning Qing very much. He followed Lu Shaoming as he sat down on the sofa.
Ning Qing slowly walked over to face Zhou Dao. Her exquisite face was sparkling with an intelligent glow. Her beautiful eyes nonchalantly scanned Zhou Dao from head to toe. Her lazy voice had satisfaction in it. Although she did not take them lightly, when anyone heard her tone, it was slightly mocking as she said, “Want to speak about assets with my grandpa? I don’t find it weird. The beggar who has come out from a group of beggars, no matter how good the packaging is on the outside, it still cannot change the fact that he is still a beggar on the inside.”
“Ning Qing, you!” Zhou Zhilei was extremely furious.
“Miss Zhou is talking about me?” Ning Qing looked shocked on the outside. “I guess that in Miss Zhou’s dictionary, she has probably never heard of the meaning humble. I still remember clearly that Miss Zhou still looked down on how poor my family background was, but on the other hand, you were the Young Miss of the Zhou family. The funniest thing after all, you turned out to be the counterfeit product, but I was the genuine one instead. Zhou Zhilei, talking about family background and status, you are the daughter of a beggar. You are just a young beggar. You have taken the money of my Zhou family for 20 years, and I didn’t fuss about it. I just treated it as giving it to the dogs, but you look; dogs all see their masters and still know how to bark and welcome them. Aren’t you not even up to the standard of a dog right now?”
The family of three’s facial expression changed drastically, especially Zhou Zhilei, who clenched her teeth in anger. She always knew that Ning Qing was glib with her tongue, and a simple sentence from her insulted Zhou Zhilei from top to toe. The moment Ning Qing appeared, she had never disappointed anyone.
Zhou Zhilei closed her eyes as she caught her breath for a moment, and it was only then she stopped herself from vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Kong Lan’s face turned green. She would not have believed that Ning Qing stayed behind and could not guess that she had an ace up her sleeve. She was the champion just because she had the ace, and she had to have the upper hand.
But she never expected that the moment Ning Qing came, she would turn the situation upside down, and she had firmly gave their entire family a tight slap to their faces.
The meaning Ning Qing was trying to bring across in her words was very obvious; a dog would be fed by their master, so they should act like a proper dog.
Kong Lan’s hands that she placed by her sides were tightly kneaded into fists. She controlled her anger temporarily. “Mrs. Lu, it is still better for us not to waste time. We should go to the main topic directly.”
“Sure,” Ning Qing squinted her eyes. “I never liked to say useless things, my grandfather’s assets, it would belong to our Zhou family. Who are all of you considered to be?”
“You!” Zhou Dao was also anxious and flustered. He looked at Zhou Heng and said, “Dad, you just want your assets but not your son right? Your assets and your biological son; you should just pick one today.”
Zhou Heng leaped up from the sofa in an instant. His entire face was full of shock and disbelief. What biological son?
Ning Qing sighed in her heart, that DNA confirmation report…
…
Inside the relaxation room, Zhou Dayuan and Yue Wanqing worked with one another to bring Grandma onto the bed. Grandma’s face was wax yellow, and she closed her eyes as she slept.
Yue Wanqing worriedly asked, “Doctor Zhou, my mother, she…”
Zhou Dayuan shook his head and did not say a single word.
Yue Wanqing got the message. Grandma was facing her end soon, and even the Gods were unable to save her.
Jian Han looked on and felt sad inside her heart. She covered Grandma with the blanket and walked towards the sofa. At this moment, she saw that there was a pot of blue balloon flowers on the coffee table beside the sofa. She looked at Zhou Dayuan and had a beautiful and gentle smile on her face as she said, “Dayuan, I will take this pot of blue balloon flowers out. You are allergic to these flowers.”
Yue Wanqing was taken aback when she heard her words. She asked, “Doctor Zhou, you are also allergic to balloon flowers?”
Jian Han answered, “That’s right, Aunty. It is also weird to speak of. There are thousands and millions of flowers on this earth, but Dayuan is only allergic to balloon flowers… Ay, this is not right, Aunty. What do you mean by also? Are you also allergic to balloon flowers?”
Yue Wanqing did not say anything, as she looked at Zhou Dayuan.
At this moment, Song Yajing walked over. “Doctor Jian, Qingqing’s mother is in fact allergic to balloon flowers… Aiyo, speaking about it now, I remember. It seems like Old Master Zhou is only also allergic to balloon flowers too… Genes that are inherited are way too strong. All three generations all similarly allergic to one type of flower…”
Song Yajing stopped in her speech. She thought of it suddenly; this was not right. Zhou Dayuan’s father Zhou Dao was not Old Master Zhou’s son at all!
Then Zhou Dayuan…inherited whose genes?
The room became silent in an instant. Everyone looked at each other awkwardly as they silently guessed.
…
Grandma was taken back to the Ning family villa. She spent the most beautiful times in her life…and her last moments in her life there.
Every morning when she woke up, she would see Dou Dou’s smiling face. Dou Dou would help her put on her clothes, shoes, and Dou Dou would squeeze the toothpaste for her in the washroom, and wring the towel. After breakfast, she would sit on the balcony to bask in the sunlight, and she felt the beauty of life in late autumn.
She was very satisfied with her son in law Ning Zhenguo. The first few days she was there, Ning Zhenguo would serve her tea. She would accept it formally. She would say that you have married my daughter, and that is the bliss that you have gotten from the good deeds that you have gotten from your previous eight lives.
She was not angry at her son-in-law at all. She laughed heartily, and he would reply with, “Yes yes yes. Thank you mum for the 40 years. You have given me such a good wife, and given the Ning family such a good daughter.
What more could she still say?
She did not know that Ning Zhenguo had made a mistake once in his life. Of course, nobody would let her know about it. The most important thing in life was not to look back, but to look forward. What else could be more important that the bliss that she held in her hands right now?
The thing that Grandma liked and was most proud of was her Little Qinwen. Little Qinwen was the combination of the good genes of the Zhou and Lu families, and he was absolutely cute and adorable.
