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 turn 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."
沈亭州撕了一根貓條，然後塗到手指上喂了它一點，再将藥品放上去，以為是貓條的小貓立刻過來舔，沈亭州眼疾手快又喂它一點貓條。
不懂套路的小銀漸層就這麽把藥片吞進了肚子。
許殉問，“你怎麽這麽有經驗？”
沈亭州毫無防備道：“喂得多自然就熟練了，以前秦司家的貓生病……”
扭頭對上許殉幽幽的目光，沈亭州把接下來的話咽了回去。
“那個……”沈亭州生硬轉移話題，“今天要不要給貓抹驅蟲的藥？”
許殉抱過一只貓，淡淡道：“抹吧，看看你在別人家貓身上學會的技術。”
沈亭州：……
剛收養那只橘貓的時候，沈亭州為它體外驅過蟲，當時許殉也在，怎麽能不算看過他的技術呢？
但在許殉的眼神下，沈亭州什麽都沒說。
驅完蟲，許殉面色已經恢複正常，對沈亭州說，“我準備在後院建一個貓舍，圖紙已經找人設計出來了，你要看嗎？”
沈亭州非常想看。
許殉把設計稿拿了出來。
沈亭州驚愕，“這麽大？”
設計稿畫得很詳細，畫稿足有一米多長，被許殉鋪在茶幾上。
許殉說，“以後可能還會再養，而且貓舍大一點，它們也好活動。”
與其說是貓舍，不如說是貓貓的快樂屋。
270度全景玻璃貓房，恒溫系統，超大型貓爬架，頂端是藤條編織的吊床，牆壁上鑲嵌着許多帶氣孔的管道，還有供它們攀爬的繩子。
許殉：“牆上的管道有自動投食機，每次投食都會發出沙沙的聲音。”
貓喜歡狹小的地方，黑暗的管道能激發它們狩獵的本能，所以許殉在裏面裝了投食機。
沈亭州覺得許殉細致又貼心，沒一會兒又聽他說，“這樣它們就能在裏面‘狩獵’，有一份工作總比整天好吃懶惰地曬太陽要好。”
沈亭州：……可以，很強！
“這是什麽？”沈亭州指着設計稿一個很像液晶電視的東西問。
許殉看了一眼，回答：“電視機。”
還真是電視？
許殉解釋，“我聽說貓也會看電視，到時候讓它們看《貓和老鼠》，跟着那只貓學學捕老鼠。”
啊？
如果跟着湯姆學捕鼠技巧，那估計會把自己活活餓死。
沈亭州懷疑許殉沒看過《貓和老鼠》，轉過頭卻見他眼底細細碎碎有光在浮動，仔細看才發現那是笑意。
沈亭州先是一怔，随後明白他是在開玩笑，不自覺跟着笑起來。
管家走過來，“吃點喜餅吧。”
沈亭州擡頭，“您又去參加婚禮了？”
管家：“不是婚禮，是金婚。”
哇，金婚。
如果沈亭州沒有記錯，金婚是指結婚五十年周年。
管家拿了兩塊喜餅給沈亭州跟許殉，“沾沾喜氣吧。”
沈亭州雙手去接，“謝謝。”
許殉看見沈亭州吃了，這才張嘴咬了一口，他對甜味很敏感，喜餅于他而言有點甜，但還是吃完了。

馬上就要到傅芸芸生日了，秦詩瑤準備送她一套珠寶做成人禮。
在秦詩瑤看來，高考結束才是跨入成人最好的标志。
周末，秦詩瑤去經常逛的那家店選适合傅芸芸這個年紀戴的東西，導購給她介紹了好幾款，她都不怎麽滿意。
去洗手間補妝的時候，迎面撞上一個人。
那人匆匆說了一句對不起，拿着手機離開了洗手間。
秦詩瑤看到她的模樣，忍不住追了幾步，隐約聽到她電話內容——
“你們不要太過分，他們已經付出……”似乎怕被人聽到，女人壓低聲音，但很快又因為電話那邊的态度拔高幾分，“如果你不怕被懷疑，好，那我就全都收下。”
直到女人拐進另一個長廊，秦詩瑤才停下來腳步。
雖然她好奇死了，但再追下去肯定會被對方察覺。
補完妝，秦詩瑤回去時又看到一個熟悉的身影，她旁邊就是洗手間打電話的人。
哦莫哦莫。
秦詩瑤感覺自己發現一件不得了的大事，立刻掏出電話給沈亭州撥過去一通。
沈亭州剛接通，那邊就傳來秦詩瑤狂放不羁的聲音，“老沈啊。”
老沈是什麽鬼？
“你猜我剛才看見誰了？”
“誰？”
秦詩瑤興奮道：“賀然婕跟他們家新認回來那個侄女，好像叫什麽謝凝是吧？”
沈亭州不得不承認，在吃瓜這一塊秦詩瑤始終奮鬥一線。
他摁了摁太陽穴，“是叫謝凝，僅僅只是看見她，你應該不會這麽高興？”
秦詩瑤做作地哎呦了一聲，“老沈，還是你了解我。我問你一個事，賀家有沒有做親子鑒定？”
沈亭州深呼吸，這個雖然是人家的家事，但不算過分的隐私。
為了不被秦詩瑤轟炸耳膜，沈亭州說，“據我所知，沒有。”
秦詩瑤打了一個響指，“這就對了，她這麽像賀延庭，這張臉就是最好的通行證。”
沈亭州聽出她話裏的弦外之音，“你什麽意思？”
秦詩瑤把洗手間聽到謝凝打電話的事告訴沈亭州。
“你不覺得這件事很蹊跷嗎？賀延庭剛出事，賀家正是心力憔悴的時候，雙胞胎妹妹突然冒出來了。”
沈亭州：“她可能是知道消息了，而且她跟賀延庭長得确實很像。”
秦詩瑤：“所以精明如賀老爺子也信了，賀延庭的意外對他打擊有多大不用我說吧，你覺得他現在有心情盤問這個謝凝的過往嗎？”
自然是沒有心情的。
沈亭州既覺得秦詩瑤這個猜測離譜，但離譜中又帶着合理。
但秦詩瑤沒有證據，全是直覺，還是瓜人的直覺。
瓜人的直覺怎麽說呢？
有時候非常精準，但有時候純屬樂子人看瓜不嫌大。
秦詩瑤顯然是兩者兼之，沈亭州不可能為了她平白無故說這幾句，就讓賀然婕去跟謝凝做親子鑒定。
這不是破壞人家姑侄關系嗎？
秦詩瑤微微一笑，“沈醫生，你放心，我不讓你幫大忙，只讓你幫一個小忙。”
沈亭州：？
挂了秦詩瑤的電話，沈亭州轉頭去約周子探跟謝凝晚上一塊吃飯。
周子探以為沈亭州喜歡自己的姐姐，正好想親上加親，于是欣然應邀。
沈亭州不知道周子探腦補到大氣層了，因此看在他飯桌上種種怪異行為，感到疑惑不解。
周子探試圖撮合他們倆，乳鴿直接點了一對，沈亭州跟謝凝分別獲得一只。
沈亭州：？
謝凝：？
服務員推開門上菜時，等候已久的秦詩瑤路過，恰巧發現沈亭州一般，驚喜道：“老沈，你怎麽在這裏？”
周子探：誰，誰是老沈？
見秦詩瑤直奔沈亭州而來，周子探皺眉，不明白好端端的沈醫生，怎麽變成秦詩瑤的老沈了。
沈亭州也沒想到，秦詩瑤居然把敵蜜淩韻帶了過來。
他不知道秦詩瑤的具體計劃，只告訴她，從筷子上提取唾液做DNA準确率不高。
淩韻進來沒跟沈亭州打招呼，只是看了一眼謝凝，然後又看了一眼，似乎确定了什麽事，對秦詩瑤使一個“ok”的眼色。
秦詩瑤會意，笑道：“老沈，我們就不打擾你跟朋友吃飯，我們先走了。”
沈亭州起身，對周子探說，“我去送送她們一會兒就回來。”
周子探沒多想，“去吧。”
沈亭州随秦詩瑤跟淩韻來到一個隐蔽的地方。
秦詩瑤左右環顧，确定沒人才問淩韻，“怎麽樣，看出來沒？不過你今天的胸怎麽這麽大，隆了吧？”
什麽叫隆了？
她不過是……穿了胸托，又貼了胸墊。
一生要強的淩韻怎麽可能承認？她怒道：“你才隆了，你全家都隆了，姐姐我這是天生麗質，第二次發育，我看你就是嫉妒！”
秦詩瑤溫柔安撫，“好了好了，別氣急敗壞，惱羞成怒了。”
沈亭州：這到底是安撫，還是拱火？
果然淩韻把手往腰上一插，擺出要跟秦詩瑤大吵特吵的架勢。
秦詩瑤盯着淩韻的臉，突然咦了一聲，“不過你今天妝化挺自然，顯得皮膚都透亮。”
淩韻哼了一聲，“那是姐姐我皮膚好，我純素顏出來的。”
這話也就只能騙騙純直男，秦詩瑤一眼就看出她在化妝桌前至少待了一個多小時。
沈亭州實在忍不住插話，“我不能出來太久。”你們有話快說。
他真的很想知道淩韻看出了什麽門道，走出包廂時那一臉的驕傲掩都掩不住。
淩韻把手收回來，撥弄着美甲上的鑽石片，懶洋洋說，“她整了。”
沈亭州：？
秦詩瑤一臉果然如此的表情，之後叉腰狂笑，“我就知道，哈哈哈哈。”
沈亭州消化不了這番話，艱難道：“整什麽，整容嗎？我怎麽沒看出來？”
淩韻白了他一眼，“你一個直男，你能看出什麽？”
秦詩瑤立刻說，“別瞎說，什麽直不直，我們老沈遇到一個好男人沒準就彎了。”
沈亭州：……
我謝謝你哦。
淩韻傲然道：“我不管他是直的，還是彎的，但有沒有整容，有沒有醫美，哪怕她弄得再自然，親媽都看不出來，它也逃不過我淩韻這雙火眼金睛。”
自認識秦詩瑤以來，淩韻每天都在琢磨怎麽豔壓她。
她雖然沒有削骨填充的大整過，但做過一些微調，對醫美各項産品如數家珍。
淩韻不僅能一眼看出對方整了哪裏，還能一眼看出對方該去整哪裏，去什麽醫院做這項手術，找哪個醫生最合适。
身邊的小姐妹去整時，都要問過她的意見，一看她翻白眼吓得都不敢做。
正因為如此秦詩瑤才請她出山辨別謝凝那張臉。
淩韻準确無誤地說出謝凝整容的地方，“開了眼角，做了鼻子。”
沈亭州震驚。
謝凝跟賀延庭最像的地方就是面部的T字區，也就是眉眼跟鼻梁。
這三個地方，謝凝整了兩個……
沈亭州聲音顫顫地問淩韻，“那你能不能看出這單純是整容，還是受傷了修複，她是戰地記者，遇到的危險挺多的。”
淩韻想也不想地答：“絕對是整容，因為她不是矽膠隆鼻，也不是軟骨，是玻尿酸隆鼻，玻尿酸是會被人體吸收的，如果受傷修複，絕不會采用這個。”
末了她點頭認可注射玻尿酸的醫生，“不過這個醫生手藝很好，改變了她鼻梁部分凹陷。讓她的鼻子挺拔了許多。”
故意去整容，整的地方都是跟賀延庭相像的地方。
這個謝凝很值得人懷疑。
沈亭州沒多待，帶着一身驚疑快步回了包廂。
吃飯席間，他時不時抛出一些話題給謝凝，想看她是不是真的從小生活在那個被戰争困擾的小國家。
謝凝答得滴水不漏，沒露出任何破綻。
在周子探眼裏，他倆這是親熱交談，深感欣慰。
果然，只有沈醫生能配得上我姐，可惜沈醫生沒有兄弟姐妹。
付錢結完賬，沈亭州收起笑容，回到自己車裏。
晚上他主動找周子探聊天，套周子探的話，知道賀然婕給了謝凝一套房子，還有一張可以随便刷的信用卡，而周子探為她收集的那些珠寶，最後她還是全部都要了。
這個女人更加可疑了。
其實沈亭州更希望她是賀争跟謝衣濃的孩子，這樣還能給賀家人一點念想，萬一賀延庭真的……
但秦詩瑤的懷疑不是空穴來風，沈亭州不去提醒對不起自己的良心。
畢竟他出事時，周子探可是不管不顧沖上來幫忙。
隔天，沈亭州去找了一趟賀然婕，他沒把話說明，只是淺淺暗示了一下。
賀然婕何等聰明的人，聞言動作一頓。
靜了許久，賀然婕才勉力笑了笑，“好，我知道了，謝謝你沈醫生。”
-
晚上周子探回來，沒在客廳跟起居室見到他媽跟他姐的影子，于是找去了花房。
周子探今天剛淘到一副母女镯，想送給賀然婕跟謝凝。
他悄悄走進花房，剛進去就聽到一陣壓抑的哭聲。
周子探納悶地走過去，就見謝凝跪在地上，賀然婕将她扶了起來。
“坐下說話吧，不用這樣。”賀然婕抽了兩張面巾紙遞過去。
謝凝只是把紙巾攥在手裏，“我不是故意要騙您的，但我媽媽跟弟弟妹妹都在危險區，他說只要我假裝是賀家的孩子，就想辦法把我們一家人安排回這裏。”
賀然婕問，“你的真名是什麽？”
“謝凝”抽噎了一下，“我叫易伊，我爸爸是這個國家的人，他去那邊工作，然後認識了我媽媽，所以我會說這裏的話。”
她其實是混血，但混血感并不明顯。
也因為那一點點混血，讓她跟五官立體的賀延庭有幾分相像，為了能騙過賀家的人，那個人讓她整了容。
為了這場騙局，他們缜密地籌備了一年多。
直到賀延庭出事，那些人覺得這是千載難逢的機會，就把她送回到這裏。
賀然婕看着易伊，“訓練你的那個人是誰？”
易伊小聲說，“你們也認識，就是老爺子派人去N國找謝衣濃母女的人，他們見賀家這麽有錢，早就起了這個心思。”
被訓練的女孩有好幾個，都是跟賀延庭長得有幾分像，還會說這裏的話。
周子探攥着手镯沖出來，雙目怒睜，異常生氣，“你竟然聯合外人騙我媽跟我外公！”
見周子探有動手的跡象，賀然婕溫和開口，“小探。”
她的話就像孫悟空頭上的緊箍咒，瞬間讓周子探從暴躁狀态平靜下來。
賀然婕對易伊說，“你今天說的事我會讓人去查，如果是真的，那我會幫忙把你家人接過來。”
易伊的眼眸蓄滿水汽，感激道：“謝謝您。”
賀然婕：“不過在這之前，希望你還能繼續做謝凝。”
易伊愣住。
周子探無法理解，“媽？”
賀然婕低聲說，“你外公年紀大了，哪怕是假的，只要他開心就好，我們都讓他操太多心了。”
周子探沒話了。
易伊忙道：“您放心，我一定會多哄賀爺爺開心。”
周子探朝她一瞪，你也配叫我外公爺爺？
易伊把頭低下，她知道自己做的事不好，可家裏的弟弟妹妹都還小……
爸爸死後，家裏就得她撐起來，她必須保護家裏人的安全。
從花房出來，易伊心緒不寧地回了房間，她按賀然婕說的，裝作一切如常給那個人打電話，報告自己這裏一切平安，沒有人起疑她的身份。
電話那邊聽到後非常滿意，又說了一堆話保證一定會把她的家人帶出來。
正說着，房門被人敲了敲。
易伊也不想應付他，趁機說，“我這邊來人了，先挂了。”
挂完電話，她起身去開門。
門口站着一臉煞氣的周子探，易伊抿了一下唇才問，“有事嗎？”
周子探惡聲惡氣道：“別裝傻，把我送你的首飾拿過來！”
易伊面色一紅，趕忙去房間把那盒珠寶首飾還給了周子探。
“你給我老實點，要是再被我知道你騙我媽，我就……”周子探用手做了一個抹脖子的動作。
殺人、屍體，易伊見得太多了，她是不畏懼這種威脅，只是愧疚。
-
在加護病房住了一個星期，賀延庭生命體征恢複正常，但人還是沒醒來。
他轉入普通病房那天，沈亭州、賀然婕跟周子探都去了。
怕老爺子心裏難受，假孫女留在他身邊陪伴，希望能給他一個慰藉。
賀然婕在普通病房陪賀延庭坐了好一會兒，還想幫他擦一擦身體，但周子探主動接過了這活兒。
周子探打了一盆熱水剛開始幹，病房被人禮貌敲了敲。
賀然婕偏過頭時，擦了擦眼角的淚。
沈亭州說，“進來。”
一個長相精致小巧的女孩走進來，“你好，請問這裏是賀延庭先生的病房嗎？”
沈亭州問，“你誰？”
女孩說，“我叫謝凝。”
此話一出，三雙眼睛齊齊看過去。
易伊的身份雖然是假的，但謝衣濃的女兒确實叫謝凝。
眼前這個女孩穿着衛衣牛仔褲，腳上是一雙白色的板鞋，鞋底大概三厘米左右，穿上鞋子她也才一米六。
她跟賀延庭沒有半分相像的地方，唯有那雙眼睛跟謝衣濃有些像。
但賀然婕已經很久沒見過謝衣濃，她也不是很确定。
周子探往女孩身上一掃，不屑道：“你是不是也想說，你是我哥的雙胞胎妹妹？”
女孩啊了一聲，“爸爸不是死了嗎？怎麽又有一個兒子？”
周子探額角突突直跳，要不是賀然婕在身旁，他都要直接飙髒了，“你會不會說話？”
賀然婕摁住周子探，看着女孩說，“他是我兒子，我是賀争的妹妹。”
女孩露出恍惚的神色，“原來您是然婕姑姑，我聽我媽說過您。”
周子探瞪着眼說，“誰是你姑姑，別在這裏裝蒜了，你哪裏像我們賀家的孩子？”
雖然不确定這個女孩一定是真的，但沈亭州還是跟周子探科普，“雙胞胎是有異卵的。”
周子探哼哼兩聲，明顯不認可這位是他姐姐，看起來比自己還小。
賀然婕問，“介意抽血做鑒定嗎？”
女孩大大方方地挽起衣袖，“可以。”
賀然婕讓醫護人員抽了一管女孩的血，又抽了一管賀延庭的血，然後送去化驗。
為了确保中途沒有意外發生，沈亭州親自把血送過去，然後由秦司來鑒定。
沈亭州一走，周子探就把女孩趕了出去。
“你，去外面的走廊坐着，現在別煩我媽，碰你們這些騙子她心情正不好呢。”
私人醫院出結果要比司法鑒定所快很多，一個多小時就能出來了。
沈亭州拿着報告回來時，女孩一個人坐在長廊的椅子上。
看見沈亭州，她禮貌一笑，沈亭州也沖她點點頭。
報告內容沈亭州沒看，将文件袋交給了賀然婕。
賀然婕給了周子探，“小探，你幫我念。”
周子探沒有糾結地打開文件袋，直接掃到最下面，表情微微凝固，“媽，她是。”
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!
