Chapter 549: The person who drugged her was Jiang Hui
"I don't think she'll blame you."
Aunt Hong looked at him blankly.
"I knew about your affairs from the beginning, and I also knew that Jiang Hui's existence was just an accident."
"How did you…"
"I ran into it that night."
Aunt Hong's expression changed instantly, and she couldn't help but cover her face, and finally told everything that happened that night twenty years ago.
"Actually, I wasn't drunk that night. It was only your father who was drunk. Even though we..."
Aunt Hong seemed to be a little embarrassed and couldn't speak out, but she still smiled bitterly.
"But he kept calling me Madam's name. He treated me as Madam, and I, and I am just, just..."
Aunt Hong gritted her teeth and said, "I just couldn't bear to refuse. It's my fault. I was greedy. It's all my fault!"
Zhou Chen's expression and demeanor remained calm from beginning to end.
"It's already happened, there's no point in saying more. When my mother entrusted this family to you, her intentions were already very clear."
Aunt Hong looked up at him in surprise, "W-what do you mean?"
"The family needs a woman. My mother must have wanted to entrust us all to you, so she let you stay in the Zhou family. Otherwise, with her personality, she would never ask you to give up your marriage and life."
Zhou Chen looked at her calmly as she stated the facts.
"So, her intentions are very clear. To some extent, she is doing this for us. She wants to be with us forever. But how could such a gentle person like mother let you stay in the Zhou family without any status?"
Aunt Hong was completely dumbfounded after hearing what he said.
"So, Madam, what you mean is, you want me to, want me to..."
"I think so. She probably had this idea in mind when she first decided to keep you in the Zhou family, but she might not have guessed what the old man was thinking."
Mrs. Zhou never thought that the old man would not look for another wife after losing her in middle age.
Mrs. Zhou may have thought about this result, so she found the most suitable and most likely candidate.
Aunt Hong has an emotional foundation with them. The long-term care and companionship will eventually develop feelings for them, even if it takes five, ten, or even twenty years.
Zhou Chen naturally guessed what this meant, so he never stopped it. Even though he knew long ago that the two had a chaotic night together, he did not have any opinions or emotions.
It is even acceptable for Aunt Hong to play the role of mother.
She has indeed done so over the years. Neither he nor Zhou Ping has the right to oppose this woman who has taken care of them sincerely for many years.
So he has always held an indifferent attitude, and he would bless them if the two could really get together.
"Auntie Hong, if you hadn't chosen to hide it, perhaps our family could be reunited at the same table now."
Aunt Hong trembled violently, she understood the hidden meaning of his words.
If she had had the courage to confess what happened that night and admit that she was pregnant.
Maybe it wouldn’t be the result it is now.
They all knew the old man's character, and he would be responsible for Aunt Hong and her daughter even for the sake of responsibility.
If they had become a legitimate family at that time, everything would have been easy.
But now twenty years have passed.
Zhou Chen was telling her clearly that he did not accept a sister who appeared out of nowhere, and that the Zhou family did not allow the existence of illegitimate children.
So even if Aunt Hong wanted Jiang Hui to return to her ancestral home, Zhou Chen would not agree, and might even try to stop her.
Aunt Hong couldn't control her tears in an instant.
"I, I didn't have the courage at the time. I was afraid. I was afraid that you would look at me with that kind of thoughts and eyes. I didn't dare. I really didn't dare..."
Zhou Chen's eyes darkened slightly, but he only said in a deep voice: "Auntie Hong, I'm sorry to have to trouble you."
Aunt Hong shook her head repeatedly. "I'm not wronged, I really am not wronged. This, this is all my own choice. It's just that, it's because of my cowardice that Huihui couldn't recognize you. I, I always feel guilty about her. But I don't know what happened. She actually ran back to China secretly and joined Zhou's. I heard Xiaoge say that you made jewelry for Huihui. I..."
"These are all trivial matters. You feel guilty about her, and so do we. However, I alone should be the one to repay this guilt. In two years, I will separate the jewelry from Zhou's and give her a bright future. This is the only thing I can do."
Aunt Hong was already in tears, and she just kept shaking her head.
"No, no, you, how are you going to cut it then? She'll get suspicious."
"I will transfer the company to your name and give it to her as a token of my gratitude."
Aunt Hong has only one daughter, Jiang Hui, so her things will belong to Jiang Hui in the future.
Aunt Hong opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
She wiped away her tears and drank a sip of water, "Does Xiaoge know everything too?"
"I didn't tell her."
Aunt Hong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with red eyes.
"Achen, thank you."
Zhou Chen just shook his head and said nothing.
The medicine in the wine glass was not put by Aunt Hong at all.
Chen Ru did look for Chen Ru. After all, in the Zhou family, the person Xu Ge trusted most besides Zhou Chen was Aunt Hong.
But Aunt Hong had already rejected Chen Ru with righteous words.
The two children she treated so sincerely, she
How could he do something that would destroy two people?
But it still happened, at least Aunt Hong was shocked at the time.
But later on, the money transferred to her made her sure that something went wrong.
She had clearly refused, but Chen Ru still transferred the money to her.
This means that Chen Ru did not do it, because Chen Ru thought she was the one who gave the drug.
So who could it be?
It was a long time later that Aunt Hong found out that Jiang Hui had actually returned.
She came to Hong Kong City secretly, and no one knew how she got in.
Wearing hotel waiter's clothes, he hid in the corner and overheard her conversation with Chen Ru.
Aunt Hong threw away the packet of medicine after Chen Ru left.
But what she didn't know was that Jiang Hui had secretly picked up the packet of medicine again.
What Chen Ru said at the time were just some stimulant drugs, and she suspected that Xu Ge liked Zhou Chen.
So he wanted to test her tonight. To put it bluntly, he wanted to make her look bad in front of everyone so that he would have an excuse to kick her out of the Zhou family.
But for some reason Zhou Chen also drank the glass of wine with added ingredients.
Both of them drank, and some things happened unexpectedly.
Perhaps Chen Ru didn't expect this result. She was shocked but also surprised.
Whether it was Zhou Chen or Xu Ge, she was happy to watch the show.
In fact, Aunt Hong later interrogated Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui finally told the truth.
It was indeed she who gave the medicine, but she didn't know what its effect was.
She wasn't sure which one Xu Ge would drink, so she ordered two glasses of wine.
Aunt Hong just handed the two glasses of wine to the two of them.
After Jiang Hui learned what happened that night, she was so scared that she left overnight.
Fortunately, Aunt Hong did not give her up, and even secretly dealt with some traces of her presence for her.
"I don't think she'll blame you."
Aunt Hong looked at him blankly.
"I knew about your affairs from the beginning, and I also knew that Jiang Hui's existence was just an accident."
"How did you…"
"I ran into it that night."
