Shen Zhan pinched the tissue and threw it into the trash can next to him. Just as he threw it in, he heard Xie Shizhu continue to say: "Brother, I'm pregnant with your child..."
"...We went through various medical examinations before getting the marriage certificate, and our blood relationship is proven. You and I are not half-siblings," Chen Zhan said in a calm tone, "Don't let your imagination run wild."
Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, a trace of melancholy flashed across her face, and she murmured softly, "It seems that my mommy still has feelings for your dad."
Shen Zhan felt a little strange in his heart, and he could probably guess why Zhang Ya wanted Xie Shizhu to marry her.
I just want to get closer to my father.
But his father had already let go of this relationship and didn't know about it.
Shen Zhan raised his arm, reached out and gently touched her head, and said softly: "Don't tell anyone about this, just the two of us know it."
Xie Shizhu was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

"The child is long gone," Zhang Ya said, sighing, her face pale.
"Then Xie Shizhu is the son of you and Xie Jiande," my uncle thought for a moment and said, "I remember Xiaozhu's husband's surname was Shen..."
My uncle suddenly realized the key point, and his eyes flashed with surprise. "Zhang Ya, are you crazy? Let Xiaozhu marry Shen Zhizhou's son?"
Zhang Ya lowered her head and pinched her fingers, her eyes full of reluctance. "Anyway, they are living well. Chen Zhan is a good child and can give Xiao Zhu a good life. It's not like I did anything bad."
The uncle looked at Zhang Ya for a long time. Zhang Ya looked gentle and refined on the outside, but she was rather rebellious on the inside.
Originally, he thought Zhang Ya would marry the person designated by Zhang Tianhe peacefully, but she married a poor boy and directly severed ties with the Zhang family.
Perhaps, Zhang Ya's children also inherited her personality.
It also makes people worry.
"Well, don't let the two children know about this."
Zhang Ya smiled softly, "They won't know."

In the evening, the three people came out of Zhang's house, and Shen Zhan drove Zhang Ya back first.
On the road, Xie Shizhu sat in the passenger seat, looking at Zhang Ya through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Zhang Ya caught him red-handed several times.
Zhang Ya asked, "Why are you staring at me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhan glanced at Xie Shizhu, signaling her with his eyes not to reveal the truth.
Xie Shizhu pretended to be indifferent and said, "Nothing."
Zhang Ya frowned slightly. "At the end of this month, you and Chen Zhan can make up for the wedding. I'll arrange the location. You can focus on recuperating."
Xie Shizhu said "Oh" lazily.
Zhang Ya didn't say anything else. She lowered her head, found her cell phone, and sent a message to Shen Zhizhou on the pretext of discussing the wedding of her two children.
Although more than 20 years have passed, she still can't let go of the feelings between her and Shen Zhizhou.
And the aborted child is also a pain in her heart.
Shen Zhan stopped the car, Zhang Ya opened the door, gave a few instructions, and then left their sight.
As soon as she left, Xie Shizhu couldn't hold it in any longer. She said, "I can't believe how a strong woman like my mommy could be so reluctant to let go of a relationship. Isn't she just a man?"
Shen Zhan: “…”
Xie Shizhu continued to chatter, "I'm very open-minded. There's no shortage of men in the world, and I can live without men. Why would I want to hang myself on a tree?"
Shen Zhan: “…”
Shen Zhan's face suddenly darkened. He drove the car onto the road, his deep eyes fixed on the road conditions ahead.
Xie Shizhu closed his mouth and turned to look at Shen Zhan. He could only see the other person's profile, with prominent brow bones and thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
Seems to be in a bad mood.
Xie Shizhu sneered, "Chen Zhan, why are you giving me that face? Do you think I'm wrong?"
Shen Zhan tightened his fingers on the steering wheel and remained silent for a few seconds under Xie Shizhu's gaze. "No."
Xie Shizhu's expression finally looked a little better. He crossed his arms across his chest, leaned back on the leather seat, and leisurely crossed his long legs.
When he got home, Xie Shizhu took a shower and lay on the bed.
She has to attend a lawsuit tomorrow and needs to rest and recuperate.
After a while, Shen Zhan lay down beside her, and as usual, he put his arm around her waist and held her whole body in his arms.
Xie Shizhu opened her large, distinct black and white eyes in the darkness, sensing Shen Zhan's increasingly unstable breathing. She was silent for a long time before asking, "Do you feel the heat?"
Shen Zhan: “…a little.”
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu quickly took off her pajamas, pressed her naked body against the man's chest, and said, "Husband, let's cool down together."
System: [I can’t bear to watch!]
Shen Zhan slowly sat up, reached out and picked up the remote control next to him, turned down the temperature in the room, lay down again, hugged her, and whispered: "Okay, it's cool now, go to sleep."
Xie Shizhu: “…”

The next day, Xie Shizhu went to the court, and this time she still sat in the audience area.
Zhou Shuyan, who was previously the defendant, has now been replaced by Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi couldn't afford a lawyer at all, so she could only use the money given by Xie Jiande to hire a decent lawyer.
When the other party heard that the plaintiff's lawyer was Shen Zhan, he was frightened and quickly refused.
Yang Zhi had to spend three times the money to get the other party to help him with the lawsuit.
When Yang Zhi stood as the defendant, she felt a chill down her spine, especially when she saw Chen Zhan's indifferent expression, her heart was in turmoil.
Xie Shizhu sat on the chair, slowly glanced at Yang Zhi's face, and then stopped at Shen Zhan. When the other party looked at him, Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows and mouthed: "Husband, come on!"
