Chapter 33
"My mother died a long time ago."
Shen Tingzhou, who was about to leave, paused when he heard this.
It seemed that Mr. He and He Ranjie were also not expecting that the corridor would become silent again.
He Ranjie moved her lips and asked in a daze, "How could it be?"
Xie Ning lowered her eyes. "When my mother was working as a war correspondent abroad, she took photos of a private meeting between high-ranking government officials and the rebels. People from both sides were hunting my mother and me. At that time... he came."
This "he" refers to He Zheng.
At that time, Xie Ning moved to a safe place with Xie Yinong. He Zheng was unaware of this and went to the original address. He was ambushed by mercenaries and shot dead, mistaking him for Xie Yinong.
"My mother learned about this in the news half a month later. She then became ill and passed away half a year later."
Xie Ning hid in the home of Xie Yinong's friend, who kept trying to send her back to China.
But the situation there was too critical at the time, and she was on the blacklist of the government and the rebels.
When Xie Ning grew older, she no longer had any thoughts of returning and stayed there under an assumed name, becoming a journalist like her mother.
However, the news was not reported in a regular newspaper, but by a media person on the Internet.
Taking a look at Xie Ning, who had a handsome figure and a determined look in his eyes, Shen Tingzhou was filled with admiration.
It is truly remarkable that he was able to stick to his original intention and report the truth without fear of danger in a war-torn country where order has collapsed and laws are non-existent.
He Ranjie obviously thought the same thing. She took Xie Ning's hand and said distressedly, "You must have suffered a lot, right?"
He Ranjie's warm and soft palms wrapped around Xie Ning's rough, thick hands, making Xie Ning feel a little uncomfortable, especially when she met He Ranjie's eyes that were full of worry and warmth.
Xie Ning avoided her gaze and whispered, "Not bad."
Mr. He, who had been silent the whole time, stood up, turned his back to them and said, "Let's go home first."
He used the two words "go home", which showed that he accepted Xie Ning in his heart.
Actually, think about it, although Mr. He hated Xie Yinong who indirectly killed his son, Xie Ning is not only Xie Yinong's child, but also their He family. No matter how big the grudge is, it cannot be dragged into the child.
Seeing that the family was getting along well, Shen Tingzhou left the hospital.
-
Shen Tingzhou never dared to tell Zhou Zitan the news of He Yanting's accident. He only told him the good news that Xie Ning had returned, and asked him to behave well in prison and try to get out to see his sister as soon as possible.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Zitan behaved too well in prison in order to see Xie Ning earlier.
After receiving a call from Shen Tingzhou in the morning, Zhou Zitan reported the camera blind spots in the exercise ground to the prison police in the afternoon.
This directly resulted in a large number of people who smoked in blind spots losing their sanctuary.
Surveillance blind spots have existed since prisons were equipped with cameras. Even those who want a reduced sentence will not disclose this matter. This is also the law of survival and social etiquette in prisons.
Zhou Zitan's action of overturning the table completely angered everyone.
From then on, Zhou Zitan was "taken care of" by his fellow inmates in all aspects, from food and clothing to housing and transportation.
It was common to be tripped and thrown at by people when going out for a walk, and even the bedding was soaked with water several times.
But Zhou Zitan still did not restrain himself, and instead became an expert at complaining.
As long as he finds someone making trouble or smoking secretly in a corner, he will report it immediately.
As expected, Zhou Zitan's "immoral" behavior led to a mass beating.
Zhou Zitan did not fight back, but held his head and face and let them hit him.
Now Zhou Zitan is hated by everyone in the prison, and his various behaviors show that he "wants to make progress too much", so when Shen Tingzhou helped him to get bail, it was quickly approved.
The day Zhou Zitan was released from prison, there was a lot of curses.
Everyone thought that this disaster had finally been resolved ahead of time, as his presence had been a huge detriment to their progress.
How many people who were about to be released from prison had two months added to their sentences just because they beat him up?
Only Li Muye felt lost, not because he couldn't bear to leave Zhou Zitan, but...
When did this Zhou guy become so smart that he could think of such a way out?
Li Muye thought fearfully, could he be even dumber than Zhou Zitan?
Then he became confused again, wondering whether he should also follow this method and go out early, so that he could see Brother Ning earlier.
But--
Li Muye looked at his fellow inmates who were now fighting with each other behind him, and felt sad when he heard them scolding Zhou Zitan.
He is different from Zhou Zitan, a loner. He became familiar with everyone in just a few days here and has a very good relationship with everyone.
We are all brothers, how could he do something to betray his brothers!
When Li Muye was full of righteousness, he saw Zhou Zitan suddenly turned around and mouthed three words to him -
Little trash!
Li Muye: …
Don't be too Zhou Zitan in life!
-
When Shen Tingzhou drove to pick someone up, he didn't find any obvious injuries on Zhou Zitan's face.
But when he lifted his clothes, he saw a shocking purple bruise. I heard that several ribs were broken, but they have been connected.
Zhou Zitan, who was able to withstand the beating, said proudly: "I'm protecting my face, so there's no trace of it, right?"
Seeing that he didn't care at all, Shen Tingzhou sighed in his heart.
Shen Tingzhou started the engine and said, "Let's go to the hospital first."
Zhou Zitan nodded in agreement, "Yes, let's go to the hospital to see my brother first."
Shen Tingzhou, who had been planning to take Zhou Zitan to the hospital for a reexamination, froze in his tracks, "How did you know?"
"There is a TV in the prison, and it seems that some channel reported this incident, but I didn't watch TV that day. I later found out about it when I heard other inmates chatting. I went to ask them, but none of them paid any attention to me."
Zhou Zitan's popularity is completely different from Li Muye's. From the very beginning, he has been acting like a lone wolf who is arrogant and no one is worthy of being associated with him.
Zhou Zitan turned around and asked, "Is my brother okay now?"
Shen Tingzhou looked around and said, "How about... you go see your sister first. She looks a lot like your brother."
Zhou Zitan suddenly felt a sense of honor, "That's a must, they are twins."
But this did not scare him. Zhou Zitan said without thinking, "Sister will definitely go see it, but let's go see my brother first. He is in the hospital."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to tell him that He Yanting was in the ICU.
Zhou Zitan's expression froze for a moment, and he looked flustered and at a loss.
-
After that, Zhou Zitan said nothing. He just curled up in the passenger seat and bit his nails unconsciously.
When they arrived at the place and saw He Yanting in the intensive care unit with many medical devices inserted, Zhou Zitan was like a confused child.
After a long while, he slowly walked over and put his forehead against the tempered glass.
Looking at his red eyes, Shen Tingzhou put his hand on his shoulder and patted him gently twice.
Zhou Zitan asked hoarsely, "Doctor Shen, will my brother die?"
Shen Tingzhou cannot downplay He Yanting's condition just to comfort Zhou Zitan. He is still in a coma, which is a very dangerous signal.
Shen Tingzhou avoided Zhou Zitan's question again, "Since we are already in the hospital, let me check your injuries again."
Zhou Zitan shook his head, "I want to stay with my brother for a while."
Shen Tingzhou did not persuade him any more and just waited quietly.
When Zhou Zi had examined enough, he turned to Shen Tingzhou and asked, "Doctor Shen, can you take me home?"
Shen Tingzhou: "You don't want to check your body?"
Zhou Zitan: "I'm fine."
He didn't care about this "little injury" at all. He missed his mother very much and wanted to see his sister.
Shen Tingzhou tried to persuade him but to no avail, so he had to send him back first.
Xie Ning is now living with He Ranjie. After all, they are both women, so it is convenient for communication and care.
Zhou Zitan was in a low mood on the way, and when he returned home and saw He Ranjie, his depressed look disappeared immediately.
He was covered in wounds, but still walked briskly, "Mom, I'm back."
When Zhou Zitan saw Xie Ning in the living room, his eyes lit up, "Sister, you really look like me."
Xie Ning was stunned.
He Ranjie stood up and introduced Xie Ning, "This is my son, Zhou Zitan."
Zhou Zitan quickly added a note, "I'm going to change my surname to He soon, He Zitan."
He Ranjie smiled.
"Sister, wait for me for a moment. I have something to give you." After saying that, Zhou Zitan quickly ran upstairs.
After he left, Shen Tingzhou told He Ranjie that Zhou Zitan was injured. If He Ranjie hadn't come forward, Zhou Zitan probably wouldn't have taken it seriously.
But looking at how lively he is, how does it look like he broke four ribs two days ago?
With this stamina and health bar, even Shen Tingzhou, who is in good health, feels ashamed of himself.
It's simply the Sakuragi Hanamichi of the vicious dog world!
Soon Zhou Zitan came down holding a jewelry box and handed it to Xie Ning like a treasure, "Sister, this is for you."
Since he knew he had a sister in the world, Zhou Zitan began to collect jewelry, preparing to give it to her personally when he returned.
There are seven or eight necklaces alone, made of pearls, rubies, emeralds, turquoise, diamonds, gold, and jadeite.
Xie Ning seemed to be a little embarrassed when looking at these things. She froze in place and did not reach out to take them.
He Ranjie looked at her and said, "These are some gifts from him. Pick a few and accept them."
Zhou Zitan has always had a "unique style" in his aesthetics, and when buying things he focuses on luxury and size. He Ranjie picked out two good items and gave them to Xie Ning.
It was almost noon, and He Ranjie invited Shen Tingzhou to have lunch.
Zhou Zitan was also there to encourage him.
Shen Tingzhou: "No, I have an appointment with other people to discuss business at noon."
This was originally an excuse for him to decline. After all, the family had just reunited and there must be a lot to talk about, and it would not be appropriate for an outsider like him to be present.
But I didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he was really found for something!
Xu Xun called and said that Xiaoyin gradually fell ill.
When Shen Tingzhou heard this, his head was about to explode and he quickly rushed to Xu Xun's home.
In the past, Xu Xun was feeding the cat pills. As soon as he fed one pill, the cat turned around and vomited.
"You can't feed them like this." Shen Tingzhou walked over. "They are very sensitive to bitter tastes."
Shen Tingzhou tore off a cat noodle, then smeared it on his finger and fed the cat a little, then put the medicine on it. Thinking it was a cat noodle, the kitten immediately came over to lick it. Shen Tingzhou was quick to feed it some more cat noodle.
Little Yin Jiance, who didn't understand the trick, just swallowed the pill.
Xu Xun asked, "How come you are so experienced?"
Shen Tingzhou said without any defense: "You will become proficient if you feed it more often. In the past, when the cat in Qin Si's family was sick..."
Turning his head to meet Xu Xun's gloomy gaze, Shen Tingzhou swallowed back the next words.
"Um..." Shen Tingzhou changed the subject abruptly, "Should we apply insect repellent to the cat today?"
Xu Xun held a cat in his arms and said calmly, "Go ahead and try the technique you learned from other people's cats."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
When Shen Tingzhou first adopted the orange cat, he dewormed it. Xu Xun was there at the time, so how could he not have seen his skills?
But under Xu Xun's gaze, Shen Tingzhou said nothing.
After expelling the insects, Xu Xun's complexion had returned to normal. He said to Shen Tingzhou, "I'm going to build a cat house in the backyard. I've asked someone to design the blueprint. Do you want to see it?"
Shen Tingzhou really wanted to see it.
Xu Xun took out the design draft.
Shen Tingzhou was shocked. "So big?"
The design draft was drawn in great detail, more than one meter long, and was spread out on the tea table by Xu Xun.
Xu Xun said, "I may raise more cats in the future. Besides, the cat house is bigger and they can move around more easily."
Rather than calling it a cat house, it is more like a happy house for cats.
The cat house has a 270-degree panoramic glass structure, a constant temperature system, an extra-large cat climbing frame, a rattan hammock on top, and many pipes with air holes embedded in the walls, as well as ropes for the cats to climb.
Xu Xun: "There is an automatic feeding machine in the pipe on the wall, and it makes a rustling sound every time it feeds."
Cats like small places, and dark pipes can stimulate their hunting instincts, so Xu Xun installed a feeding machine inside.
Shen Tingzhou thought Xu Xun was thoughtful and considerate. After a while, he heard him say, "This way they can 'hunt' inside. It's better to have a job than to be lazy and bask in the sun all day."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Yes, very strong!
"What is this?" Shen Tingzhou asked, pointing at something in the design that looked very much like an LCD TV.
Xu Xun took a look and replied, "TV."
Is it really TV?
Xu Xun explained, "I heard that cats can watch TV, so I'll let them watch Tom and Jerry and learn how to catch mice from the cat."
ah?
If I learn mouse-catching techniques from Tom, I will probably starve to death.
Shen Tingzhou suspected that Xu Xun had never watched "Cat and Jerry", but when he turned around, he saw a light floating in his eyes. After looking carefully, he found that it was a smile.
Shen Tingzhou was stunned at first, then he realized that he was joking and started laughing unconsciously.
The housekeeper came over and said, "Have some wedding cakes."
Shen Tingzhou looked up and asked, "Are you attending another wedding?"
Housekeeper: "It's not a wedding, it's a golden wedding."
Wow, golden wedding.
If Shen Tingzhou remembered correctly, the golden wedding refers to the fiftieth anniversary of marriage.
The housekeeper gave two wedding cakes to Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun, "Let's share in the good fortune."
Shen Tingzhou took it with both hands, "Thank you."
Xu Xun saw Shen Tingzhou eating it, then he opened his mouth and took a bite. He was very sensitive to sweetness, and the wedding cake was a little sweet for him, but he still finished it.
-
Fu Yunyun's birthday is coming soon, and Qin Shiyao is preparing to give her a set of jewelry as a coming-of-age gift.
In Qin Shiyao's view, the end of the college entrance examination is the best sign of entering adulthood.
On the weekend, Qin Shiyao went to the store she often visited to choose something suitable for Fu Yunyun's age. The salesperson introduced several models to her, but she was not very satisfied with any of them.
When I went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup, I bumped into someone.
The man quickly said sorry and left the bathroom with his phone.
Qin Shiyao saw her appearance and couldn't help but chase after her for a few steps. She vaguely heard the content of her phone call -
"Don't go too far. They've already paid..." As if she was afraid of being overheard, the woman lowered her voice, but soon raised it a little because of the attitude of the other end of the phone, "If you are not afraid of being suspected, then I will accept everything."
Qin Shiyao didn't stop until the woman turned into another corridor.
Although she was extremely curious, she knew that if she continued to pursue him she would definitely be discovered.
After putting on makeup, Qin Shiyao saw a familiar figure when she returned. Next to her was the person who was making the phone call in the bathroom.
Oh mo oh mo.
Qin Shiyao felt that she had discovered something very important, so she immediately took out her phone and called Shen Tingzhou.
As soon as Shen Tingzhou answered the call, Qin Shiyao's uninhibited voice came from the other end, "Old Shen."
What the hell is Lao Shen?
"Who do you think I saw just now?"
"who?"
Qin Shiyao said excitedly: "The niece that He Ranjie has just adopted from their family is called Xie Ning, right?"
Shen Tingzhou had to admit that Qin Shiyao had always been fighting on the front line when it came to eating melons.
He pressed his temples, "It's Xie Ning. You shouldn't be so happy just by seeing her."
Qin Shiyao groaned artificially, "Old Shen, you still understand me. Let me ask you something, has the He family done a paternity test?"
Shen Tingzhou took a deep breath. Although this was someone else's family affair, it was not overly private.
In order to avoid being shocked by Qin Shiyao's comments, Shen Tingzhou said, "As far as I know, no."
Qin Shiyao snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, she looks so much like He Yanting, this face is the best pass."
Shen Tingzhou heard the hidden meaning in her words, "What do you mean?"
Qin Shiyao told Shen Tingzhou that she heard Xie Ning making a phone call in the bathroom.
"Don't you think this is very strange? He Yanting had just gotten into trouble, and the He family was exhausted, and then the twin sisters suddenly appeared."
Shen Tingzhou: "She may have known the news, and she does look a lot like Judge He Yan."
Qin Shiyao: "So even a shrewd man like He believed it. I don't need to tell you how much of a blow He Yanting's accident was to him. Do you think he is in the mood to interrogate Xie Ning's past now?"
Of course I'm not in the mood.
Shen Tingzhou felt that Qin Shiyao's guess was absurd, but at the same time reasonable.
But Qin Shiyao had no evidence, it was all intuition, the intuition of a melon man.
How do you describe the intuition of melon people?
Sometimes it's very accurate, but sometimes it's just for fun and people don't mind the size of the melon.
Qin Shiyao obviously had both of these traits. It was impossible for Shen Tingzhou to ask He Ranjie to do a paternity test with Xie Ning just because she said these words for no reason.
Doesn't this destroy the relationship between aunt and nephew?
Qin Shiyao smiled slightly, "Doctor Shen, don't worry, I won't ask you to do a big favor, just a small favor."
Shen Tingzhou:?
After hanging up the call with Qin Shiyao, Shen Tingzhou turned around and asked Zhou Zitan and Xie Ning to have dinner together in the evening.
Zhou Zitan thought that Shen Tingzhou liked his sister and wanted to strengthen the relationship between them, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
Shen Tingzhou didn't know that Zhou Zitan had found the atmosphere, so he was puzzled by his strange behavior at the dinner table.
Zhou Zitan tried to bring them together, and the pigeon directly ordered a pair, with Shen Tingzhou and Xie Ning getting one each.
Shen Tingzhou:?
Xie Ning:?
When the waiter opened the door and served the dishes, Qin Shiyao, who had been waiting for a long time, passed by and happened to find Shen Tingzhou. She was surprised and asked, "Old Shen, why are you here?"
Zhou Zitan: Who, who is Lao Shen?
Seeing Qin Shiyao heading straight for Shen Tingzhou, Zhou Zi frowned, not understanding how the good Doctor Shen had turned into Qin Shiyao's Old Shen.
Shen Tingzhou didn't expect that Qin Shiyao actually brought her enemy Ling Yun with her.
He didn't know Qin Shiyao's specific plan, and only told her that the accuracy rate of DNA extraction from saliva on chopsticks was not high.
Ling Yun came in without saying hello to Shen Tingzhou. She just glanced at Xie Ning, then looked at him again, as if she had confirmed something, and gave Qin Shiyao an "ok" look.
Qin Shiyao understood and said with a smile: "Old Shen, we won't disturb you from having dinner with your friends. We'll leave first."
Shen Tingzhou stood up and said to Zhou Zitan, "I'll go see them off and be back in a while."
Zhou Zitan didn't think much about it and said, "Go ahead."
Shen Tingzhou followed Qin Shiyao and Ling Yun to a secluded place.
Qin Shiyao looked around and made sure there was no one around before asking Ling Yun, "How is it? Did you see it? But why are your breasts so big today? Did you have them augmented?"
What does Long mean?
She just... wore a bra and a breast pad.
How could Ling Yun, who had always been strong, admit it? She angrily said, "You are the only one who had augmentation surgery. Your whole family has had augmentation surgery. I am a natural beauty. I am developing my beauty for the second time. I think you are just jealous!"
Qin Shiyao soothed him gently, "Okay, okay, don't be so angry and upset."
Shen Tingzhou: Is this a soothing or adding fuel to the fire?
As expected, Ling Yun put his hands on his waist and acted as if he was going to have a big quarrel with Qin Shiyao.
Qin Shiyao stared at Ling Yun's face and suddenly exclaimed, "But your makeup today is quite natural, and your skin looks translucent."
Ling Yun snorted, "That's because I have good skin, I came out without any makeup."
This statement can only deceive straight men. Qin Shiyao can tell at a glance that she has been in front of the dressing table for at least an hour.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but interrupt, "I can't be out for too long." If you have something to say, just say it quickly.
He really wanted to know what Ling Yun had figured out. When she walked out of the box, she couldn't hide the pride on her face.
Ling Yun took her hand back, fiddled with the diamond pieces on her nails, and said lazily, "She had plastic surgery."
Shen Tingzhou:?
Qin Shiyao had an expression that said, "As expected." Then she put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, "I knew it. Hahahaha."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't digest these words, and said with difficulty: "What, plastic surgery? Why didn't I see it?"
Ling Yun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're a straight man, what can you see?"
Qin Shiyao immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. What's the point of being straight? Our old Shen might become crooked if she meets a good man."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Thank you.
Ling Yun said proudly: "I don't care whether he is straight or curved, but whether he has had plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery, even if he makes it look natural, his mother can't tell, and it can't escape my sharp eyes."
Ever since he met Qin Shiyao, Ling Yun has been thinking about how to seduce her every day.
Although she has not undergone major surgery such as bone reduction or filler surgery, she has had some minor adjustments and is familiar with all medical beauty products.
Ling Yun can not only tell at a glance where the other person has had plastic surgery, but also where the other person should go for surgery, which hospital to go to for the surgery, and which doctor is the most suitable.
When the girls around me tried to get it done, they would ask for her opinion, but when they saw her rolling her eyes, they were so scared that they dared not do it.
It was for this reason that Qin Shiyao asked her to come out and identify Xie Ning's face.
Ling Yun accurately pointed out the areas where Xie Ning had plastic surgery: "She had her eyes opened and her nose done."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked.
The most similar part between Xie Ning and He Yanting is the T-zone of the face, which is the eyebrows and nose bridge.
Of these three places, Xie Ning organized two...
Shen Tingzhou asked Ling Yun in a trembling voice, "Can you tell if this is just plastic surgery or repair of an injury? She is a war correspondent and encountered many dangers."
Ling Yun answered without thinking: "It is definitely plastic surgery, because her nose was not reshaped by silicone or cartilage, but by hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid will be absorbed by the human body. If it is injured and repaired, it will never be used."
Finally, she nodded her approval of the doctor who injected hyaluronic acid. "But this doctor has very good skills. He changed the concave part of her nose bridge and made her nose much straighter."
She deliberately had plastic surgery, and the parts that had been surgically done were all similar to He Yanting.
This Xie Ning is very suspicious.
Shen Tingzhou didn't stay long and quickly returned to the box with a look of suspicion.
During the meal, he occasionally raised some topics with Xie Ning, wanting to see if she really had lived in that small country troubled by war since she was a child.
Xie Ning's answer was flawless, without revealing any flaws.
In Zhou Zitan's eyes, this was a warm conversation between the two of them, and he felt deeply gratified.
As expected, only Dr. Shen is worthy of my sister, but it’s a pity that Dr. Shen has no brothers or sisters.
After paying the bill, Shen Tingzhou put away his smile and returned to his car.
In the evening, he took the initiative to chat with Zhou Zitan, and from Zhou Zitan's words, he learned that He Ranjie gave Xie Ning a house and a credit card that could be used at will, and that she finally took all the jewelry that Zhou Zitan collected for her.
This woman is even more suspicious.
In fact, Shen Tingzhou hoped that she was the child of He Zheng and Xie Yinong, so that the He family could have something to think about. What if He Yanting really...
But Qin Shiyao's suspicion was not groundless, and Shen Tingzhou would be feeling guilty if he did not remind her.
After all, when he was in trouble, Zhou Zitan rushed to help him regardless of anything.
The next day, Shen Tingzhou went to see He Ranjie. He didn't say anything explicitly, but just hinted at it.
He Ranjie was such a smart person that she froze when she heard that.
After a long silence, He Ranjie forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Doctor Shen."
-
When Zhou Zitan came back in the evening, he didn't see his mother and sister in the living room or the living room, so he went to the greenhouse.
Zhou Zitan just found a pair of mother-daughter bracelets today and wanted to give them to He Ranjie and Xie Ning.
He walked quietly into the greenhouse and as soon as he entered he heard a suppressed cry.
Zhou Zitan walked over in confusion and saw Xie Ning kneeling on the ground, and He Ranjie helped her up.
"Sit down and talk. There's no need to be like this." He Ranjie took two tissues and handed them over.
Xie Ning just held the tissue in her hand and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you, but my mother and my brothers and sisters are all in the danger zone. He said that as long as I pretend to be a child of the He family, he would find a way to arrange for our family to return here."
He Ranjie asked, "What is your real name?"
Xie Ning sobbed and said, "My name is Yi Yi. My father is from this country. He went there to work and met my mother, so I can speak the language here."
She is actually mixed-race, but her mixed-race look is not obvious.
Because of that little bit of mixed blood, she looks a bit like He Yanting, who has three-dimensional facial features. In order to deceive the people in the He family, that person asked her to have plastic surgery.
They carefully planned this scam for more than a year.
Until He Yanting got into trouble, those people thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and sent her back here.
He Ranjie looked at Yi Yi, "Who is the person who trained you?"
Yi Yi whispered, "You also know them. They are the people that the old man sent to Country N to look for Xie Yinong and her daughter. Seeing that the He family is so rich, they had this idea a long time ago."
There are quite a few girls being trained who look somewhat like President He Yan and can even speak the language here.
Zhou Zitan rushed out clutching the bracelet, his eyes glaring, extremely angry, "You actually colluded with outsiders to deceive my mother and my grandfather!"
Seeing that Zhou Zitan was about to take action, He Ranjie spoke gently, "Little detective."
Her words were like a tight hoop around Sun Wukong's head, instantly calming Zhou Zitan down from his furious state.
He Ranjie said to Yi Yi, "I will have someone check what you said today. If it is true, I will help bring your family here."
Yi Yi's eyes were filled with tears, and she said gratefully, "Thank you."
He Ranjie: "But before that, I hope you can continue to be Xie Ning."
Yi Yi was stunned.
Zhou Zitan couldn't understand, "Mom?"
He Ranjie whispered, "Your grandpa is old. Even if it's fake, as long as he's happy, it's fine. We've made him worry too much."
Zhou Zitan was speechless.
Yi Yi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to make Grandpa happy."
Zhou Zitan glared at her and asked, "Are you worthy enough to call me grandpa?"
Yi Yi lowered her head. She knew what she did was not right, but her brothers and sisters at home were still young...
After her father died, she had to support the family and protect the safety of everyone in the family.
After coming out of the greenhouse, Yi Yi returned to her room in a restless mood. She followed He Ranjie's instructions and pretended that everything was normal and called that person to report that everything was fine here and no one suspected her identity.
The person on the other end of the phone was very satisfied after hearing what I said, and said a lot of things to promise that he would definitely bring her family out.
As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Yi Yi didn't want to deal with him, so she took the opportunity to say, "Someone's coming over here, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, she got up and opened the door.
Zhou Zitan, who looked fierce, stood at the door. Yi Yi pursed her lips before asking, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Zitan said in a vicious voice: "Don't play dumb, give me the jewelry I gave you!"
Yi Yi blushed and hurried to the room to return the box of jewelry to Zhou Zitan.
"Behave yourself. If I find out that you lied to my mother again, I will..." Zhou Zitan made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
Yi Yi has seen too many murders and corpses. She is not afraid of this threat, but she feels guilty.
-
After staying in the intensive care unit for a week, He Yanting's vital signs returned to normal, but he still did not wake up.
The day he was transferred to the general ward, Shen Tingzhou, He Ranjie and Zhou Zitan all went there.
Fearing that the old man might be upset, the fake granddaughter stayed with him, hoping to give him some comfort.
He Ranjie sat with He Yanting in the general ward for a long time and wanted to help him wipe his body, but Zhou Zitan took the initiative to take over the job.
Zhou Zitan had just started working after filling a basin with hot water when someone politely knocked on the door of the ward.
He Ranjie turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Shen Tingzhou said, "Come in."
A petite girl walked in. "Hello, is this Mr. He Yanting's ward?"
Shen Tingzhou asked, "Who are you?"
The girl said, "My name is Xie Ning."
As soon as these words were spoken, three pairs of eyes looked over there.
Although Yi Yi's identity was fake, Xie Yinong's daughter was indeed named Xie Ning.
The girl in front of me was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans, and a pair of white sneakers. The soles were about three centimeters high, and she was only about 1.6 meters tall with the shoes on.
She doesn't look like He Yanting at all, except for her eyes which are somewhat similar to Xie Yinong's.
But He Ranjie hadn't seen Xie Yinong for a long time, so she wasn't quite sure.
Zhou Zi reached over and glanced at the girl, saying disdainfully, "Are you also trying to say that you are my brother's twin sister?"
The girl exclaimed, "Didn't Dad die? How come he has another son?"
Zhou Zi's forehead trembled. If He Ranjie hadn't been beside him, he would have spit out a lot of dirt. "Can you speak?"
He Ranjie held Zhou Zitan, looked at the girl and said, "He is my son, and I am He Zheng's sister."
The girl looked dazed. "So you are Aunt Ranjie. I've heard my mother talk about you."
Zhou Zitan stared and said, "Who is your aunt? Stop playing dumb here. How do you look like a child from our He family?"
Although he was not sure if this girl was real, Shen Tingzhou still explained to Zhou Zitan, "Twins can be fraternal."
Zhou Zitan snorted twice, obviously not accepting that this person was his sister, who looked younger than him.
He Ranjie asked, "Do you mind having your blood drawn for identification?"
The girl rolled up her sleeves generously and said, "Sure."
He Ranjie asked medical staff to draw a tube of the girl's blood and another tube of He Yanting's blood, and then sent them for testing.
In order to ensure that no accidents occurred during the process, Shen Tingzhou personally delivered the blood, and then Qin Si came to identify it.
As soon as Shen Tingzhou left, Zhou Zitan drove the girl out.
"You, go sit outside in the corridor. Don't bother my mother now. She's in a bad mood when she touches liars like you."
The results from private hospitals are much faster than those from judicial forensics, and can be out in just over an hour.
When Shen Tingzhou came back with the report, the girl was sitting alone on a chair in the corridor.
Seeing Shen Tingzhou, she smiled politely and Shen Tingzhou nodded at her.
Shen Tingzhou didn't read the content of the report and handed the file bag to He Ranjie.
He Ranjie gave it to Zhou Zitan, "Xiao Tan, help me read it."
Zhou Zitan opened the file bag without hesitation and scanned to the bottom. His expression froze slightly. "Mom, she is."
Before He Ranjie could react, Zhou Zitan had already walked out of the ward.
He degenerated from a vicious dog to a puppy and walked to the girl, "Sister."
Xie Ning:?
Zhou Zitan took Xie Ning's hand in a friendly manner, "Come in quickly, my mother has a lot to say to you."
Xie Ning was dragged in by him in a daze.
No, why does this person have two faces?
While Xie Ning was talking to He Ranjie, Zhou Zitan was standing beside them attentively, peeling apples and grapes.
Shen Tingzhou: Xiao Zhou, don't you remember He Yuhe by the Daming Lake?
Half an hour later, Shen Tingzhou drove the family back.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhou Zitan quickly unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Sister, wait for me. I have something for you."
Shen Tingzhou felt that these words were familiar.
Soon Zhou Zitan came running over with a familiar jewelry box. When he opened it, he found that everything inside was exactly the same.
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Zhou Zitan offered it with anticipation, "Do you like it?"
Xie Ning didn't refuse like Yi Yi. She took it naturally, "How can I not like it when it's real money? You gave me something, so I'll give you something too."
Xie Ning took off a string of Buddhist beads from her neck that looked like old ones, but were not actually Buddhist beads. The ends were inlaid with Dzi beads and red coral.
Zhou Zitan was puzzled, "What is this?"
Xie Ning asked, "Do you know Kabala?"
Zhou Zitan heard something, "It's human bones, right?"
Xie Ning: "Yes, this is the brow bone, it has probably more than 200 lives on it, it was given to me by a tantric master, to help you survive the disaster and keep you safe."
Shen Tingzhou: How could she easily say that more than 200 people were killed?
Looking at Xie Ning's baby face and sweet appearance, who would have known that she is a ruthless person who wears a gabala.
Zhou Zitan was touched, "Thank you, sister. I will definitely wear it well and not take it off even when taking a bath."
Xie Ning paused, "...You'd better pick it off. This thing can't touch water. It will crack easily. It needs to be healed with oil secreted by the human body."
Zhou Zitan rubbed the skullcap against his face and said, "Then I'll eat it every day."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked: Xiao Zhou, put away your silly look, that is a gabala, a human brow bone!
