Hearing this, Zhou Fang raised the corners of his lips, looked straight at me with his brown eyes, and spoke softly.
But every word was clear, with a slight rise at the end, "Yes, you are Lili, my fiancée."
It is a confirmation and a declaration.
"Zhou Fang..."
My thoughts were mixed, but at the same time, I felt a sense of relief. "Thank you for never, ever giving up on me."
㱗Every time I need you, you appear in time.
Also, when my identity was replaced by someone else, I tried every possible way.
Everyone gave up on me, but he didn't.
He took me to a private restaurant near Shen's house.
The waiter led us into the private room.
Then I realized that there were more people eating than just him and me.
And there is Uncle Fang.
When he saw us come in, Uncle Fang suddenly stood up and looked at me straight. This man, who was nearly sixty years old, actually burst into tears.
I saw that what he was holding in his hand was the appraisal report from the foreign research institute.
Uncle Fang probably has seen it.
"Miss!"
When I heard this name, I was stunned.
It's not strange, but familiar.
It seemed like I had been called that countless times.
The emotions that had been building up all morning suddenly collapsed, and tears rolled down my cheeks. "Uncle Fang..."
“Hey!”
Uncle Fang choked back his words, wiping away his tears. "Thank goodness you've grown up safely, and you've grown up this big already... How wonderful, how wonderful!"
"Uncle Fang, please sit down first. She's still hungry."
Zhou Fang pulled me to sit down.
Ordered food quickly.
After the waiter left, Uncle Fang calmed down and got straight to the point, handing two sealed bags of powder to Zhou Fang. "I did find something, but it wasn't from Shen Xingyu's room, but from Madam..."
Hearing this, I asked sharply, "Is this... poison?"
"It should be."
Uncle Fang nodded and said bitterly, "Fortunately, when you went to the hospital, Fang stopped me and told me to find a chance to check the house. If I had gone with you to the hospital, this thing would have been destroyed."
Zhou Fang took the item and asked, "Did they arrest anyone?"
"I've caught him. I've got the address you gave me."
"OK."
"So should I continue to guard her?"
"No, you have to go to the Shen family."
Zhou Fang picked up some cold dishes for me and said, "Eat while you listen."
Then, he continued to talk to Uncle Fang: "Grandma is now unconscious. My status does not allow me to interfere in the affairs of the Shen family. As for Lili... you must have guessed it. She can't go to the Shen family for the time being. She can only wait for Grandma to wake up."
"Go to the Shen family. I searched for things and arrested people today. The surveillance must have captured it..."
"Don't worry, the surveillance footage has been erased."
"So what do you need me to do next?"
"If you have nothing to do, go and have a chat with the fake guy who's still staying at the Shen family. It would be best if you could find out if there are any other people involved besides Shen Xingyu and Madam Shen." Zhou Fang explained in an orderly manner.
I was a little surprised.
Not much time had passed since grandma fainted.
Before Shen Xingyu and the others could react, Zhou Fang had arranged everything.
While eating, I looked at Uncle Fang and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Fang, Shen Qingli...that is, me, is it really Madam Shen's biological child?"
When I went to the Fu family, I realized how chaotic wealthy families were.
People like the Zhou and Shen families probably won't be in a good situation.
I don't deny that when I first encountered this problem, the answer I most wanted to hear was: no.
Unfortunately, the result did not go as I wished.
Uncle Fang was helpless. "When you were born, the old lady was personally guarding outside the delivery room. There shouldn't be any mistakes. The lady may have invested too much emotion in Shen Xingyu over the years, which is why she is like this now..."
I lowered my eyes, still somewhat unwilling to accept this reality.
Even feel chilling.
In order to prevent me from entering the Shen family, she even poisoned my grandmother.
…
Compared to her and Shen Yu, I prefer my childhood memories, the one who holds me in her hands.
It's just fate that I was once just a substitute for someone else.
Zhou Fang suddenly asked, "Does the hospital still have the obstetrics and gynecology records from that year? Are there any acquaintances in the Shen family who gave birth during those two days?"
Uncle Fang shook his head. "This... is too long ago. I can't find it anymore."
After dinner, I still want to go to the hospital.
Zhou Fang objected, "There's no need. That's the Shen family's hospital. Grandma will be taken care of by a professional medical team. If you go, you won't be able to take care of Grandma, and you'll have to waste your energy arguing with Shen Xingyu."
"But……"
I feel very confused.
It seems that only by staying by my grandma's side can I feel a little more at ease.
He was obviously a little worried about grandma, but he still pinched my face and comforted me, "I promise you, grandma will be fine. If she wakes up, I will tell you the first time."
"They'll let you know when grandma wakes up?"
"Won't."
"That……"
The corners of his lips curled slightly, "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
"All right."
"So, just work in the hotel with peace of mind."
He put me in the car and drove to the hotel.
I had originally thought that after this matter was settled today, I would go back to Jiangcheng.
After all, the New Year is almost over, and Nancy is about to return to work.
Now you've gotten yourself involved.
It's still unknown when grandma will wake up...
Thinking about this, I made a decision, "I want to go to Jiangcheng this afternoon."
Chen Li's attitude towards me always makes me feel something is wrong.
True relatives... no matter how much they hate each other, there will still be a little hesitation.
I didn't see it on her.
Zhou Fang saw through it at a glance, "Are you planning to ask your aunt about your background?"
"right."
I nodded.
Zhou Fang agreed. "That's an idea. Grandma never found out who kidnapped you back then. See if you can get any clues."
I sighed, "I hope so."
"I have to go meet the people Uncle Fang has arrested this afternoon. I'd better get them to tell me as soon as possible. I won't be able to go with you in time. I can only arrange for someone to take you there."
"No need! Jiang Lai drove here. It's so close, we can just go there by ourselves."
…
I went to the hotel and as soon as I opened the door, Jiang Lai rushed over and asked about the results of the day.
I told her the truth. She was shocked for a moment, then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, why is your phone always turned off when I call you?"
"The battery's out."
After I finished explaining, I asked, "What happened?"
My mind was full of paternity testing last night, and I didn’t even care whether my phone had battery or not.
After going out today, I have even less time to look at my phone.
Jiang Lai was helpless, "My ex-husband is looking for you! He even came to the hotel."
I wondered, "What's going on?"
"No, but I see he doesn't look well. Something must have happened. Turn on your phone and give him a call."
"good."
I charged my phone and saw a series of call notifications pop up.
They are all Fu Qichuan’s.
I had a bad feeling and immediately called back. The person on the other end answered quickly, his voice cold and forceful, "After getting involved with the Shen family, are you back at the hotel?"
"……right."
"Come downstairs in five minutes, we'll go to Jiangcheng."
"Fu Qichuan, I don't..."
"The doctor has issued a critical illness notice for your aunt."
