Chapter 549 The Year She Was Forced to Go Abroad
Aunt Hong seemed to be stumped by her question. She moved her lips several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Because you have grandpa in your heart, right?"
Aunt Hong suddenly looked up at her, her eyes were already red, and she finally couldn't help but cover her eyes.
"Yes, I have loved him for many years. Although that night was an accident, it was a pleasant surprise for me. I thought I could keep this secret for the rest of my life, but then I found out I was pregnant. I thought about having an abortion, but I couldn't bear to do it. I really couldn't. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I, I know I shouldn't have done this..."
"I also know that he has completely forgotten what happened that night. I shouldn't have given birth to the child in secret. I was afraid he would blame me. He only has Madam Zhou in his heart..."
Xu Ge listened and slowly put the coffee back on the table.
"So your plan is to force Jiang Hui to leave our circle, right?"
"I, I don't know what else we can do? You, Achen, do you know what his plan is?" Aunt Hong was still most worried about this.
"You should have heard that the company has recently made jewelry."
Aunt Hong nodded, and then she opened her eyes wide when she thought of something.
"Yes, is it for Huihui?"
Xu Ge nodded. "It's for her. After all, she is also Grandpa's child, her half-sister. This is her compensation. As for your desire to keep her background a secret, that's completely fine. We'll even help you."
To put it bluntly, even if Zhou Chen felt a little guilty towards Jiang Hui, it was not much.
He has always been like this.
After all, this is not just about the old man's reputation. Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Mr. Zhou was deeply in love with his deceased first wife and has never looked for another one in all these years since he became a widower.
Such deep affection is worthy of admiration and praise.
Zhou Chen didn't want any accidents to happen or to discredit his parents.
He doesn't care about Jiang Hui's existence, but he cares about his late mother's face and reputation.
The older generation all knew that Aunt Hong was brought into the Zhou family by Mrs. Zhou.
If there is a scandal between Aunt Hong and the old man, and such a big illegitimate daughter appears.
Then Mrs. Zhou will become a laughing stock.
Zhou Chen is not a person who cares about face and reputation, otherwise he would not have resolutely chosen to marry her.
But he doesn't care about himself or the Zhou family, he cares about his mother.
He would not allow any stain to appear between a couple with such deep feelings.
Therefore, Zhou Chen would not let Jiang Hui return to her ancestral home, and could only give her some compensation and help secretly.
In fact, he could completely ignore or even neglect Jiang Hui's existence. Zhou Chen is such a person.
But he still had some feelings for Aunt Hong.
After all, he was also raised by Aunt Hong. Compared with Jiang Hui, Aunt Hong devoted all her tenderness and time to the Zhou family.
Xu Ge had just guessed what Zhou Chen was thinking a few days ago.
When she first learned about this, she was just shocked and didn't think deeply about it.
Now she actually knew very well what Zhou Chen was planning.
"Aunt Hong, so you don't need to worry about Jiang Hui's identity being exposed."
"Besides us, you're the only one who knows about this." As he spoke, Xu Ge thought of someone else, "Does the housekeeper know about this?"
Aunt Hong slowly came to her senses. My mother was indeed seriously ill during the time I was away, so she didn't know about my pregnancy.
"So, this secret is only known to the three of us."
Su Yan's work "Mr. Zhou, my wife went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to queue up again", ⊿╬╬
Aunt Hong looked at her blankly, as if she finally understood the purpose of her conversation.
"Is this what Achen meant?"
Xu Ge nodded and said, "Auntie Hong, if it weren't for your kindness, Jiang Hui would never have had the chance to return to China. You should be very clear about this."
Zhou Chen's methods have always been extreme and ruthless, especially when dealing with competitors in business.
Especially in the past few years, anyone who provoked him or went against him would undoubtedly suffer a terrible end.
In order to protect his parents' reputation, Zhou Chen has many ways to prevent Jiang Hui from returning to China forever.
Aunt Hong looked very pale and weak, but she understood the deep meaning of her words "never being able to return to her country".
"Xiao, Xiaoge, can you let me talk to Achen for a while? Is that okay?"
Xu Ge nodded generously, "Okay."
After a while, Zhou Chen appeared in the coffee shop.
Aunt Hong couldn't help but tear up when she saw him. "Ah, Achen, you're here. Did Aunt Hong disturb you from working?"
Zhou Chen looked at her for a long time before saying, "No, sit down and talk."
Aunt Hong looked at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and glanced at Xu Ge beside him with a somewhat evasive look.
Xu Ge raised her eyebrows slightly, then picked up her handbag.
"Then you guys can chat slowly, I'll be leaving first."
Zhou Chen did not stop her, but just reminded her to be careful.
Xu Ge nodded to Aunt Hong again before turning and leaving.
Aunt Hong had indeed done things that were unfair to her, but she had also been very good to her at times.
At least, Aunt Hong gave Jiang Hui the love and care that she had never received since childhood.
The merits and demerits offset each other, and now Xu Ge no longer hates her.
.
It was not until she left that Zhou Chen picked up the remaining coffee Xu Ge had drunk and took a sip.
It seemed that I felt it was a little cold and the taste was not good, so I put it down.
"Auntie Hong."
Aunt Hong let out a sigh and looked at him blankly.
She loves this child whom she has taken care of since he was young, and she really takes care of and loves Zhou Chen as if he were her own child.
At one point, she even surpassed her own biological daughter.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be shy."
Aunt Hong seemed a little at a loss when she heard this. She had only been away for less than half a year, but she seemed to have aged ten years.
Most of her hair has turned white, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of life she has been living in the past six months.
It won't be comfortable after all.
Although she had a lot of busy things to do every day when she stayed in the Zhou family, she felt satisfied in her heart.
But since she left the Zhou family and returned to her hometown, although she had nothing to do and had enough money to spend, her heart was empty.
Even though half a year has passed, she still can't get used to her current life.
Boring, bland, and without any interest in life.
"Achen, when did you find out Huihui's identity?"
Zhou Chen looked at her calmly and said, "That year she was forced to go abroad."
Aunt Hong's expression suddenly changed, and she looked up at him.
"you……"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
Although she didn't say anything, Aunt Hong curled up, lowered her head in despair, and couldn't help sobbing.
"Don't blame her, don't blame her..."
Zhou Chen tilted his head to look out the window, "I don't blame her."
Aunt Hong looked up at him in disbelief, "Really?"
Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at her again, "Really."
"Achen, thank you. Don't worry, I will never let Huihui know my life experience. I will take this secret to the grave..."
Aunt Hong paused as she spoke, choking with sobs as she continued, "When I get downstairs, I'll personally apologize to Madam."
