"Knock, knock, knock." Special Assistant Zhang knocked gently on the door and bowed politely. "Mr. Jiang, there is a multinational joint meeting this afternoon that requires your personal attendance. The time is almost up. Do you want to turn it down or go over now?"

"Grandpa, don't worry about me, go now, I'm fine."

"Oh, how can I feel at ease with you here! Xiao Zhang, tell them the meeting is cancelled."

"There's really no need, Grandpa. It's nothing serious. I'll be discharged tomorrow. You can't just sit there and do your job!"

"Hahaha, okay, then grandpa will let your uncle come to accompany you."

When Zhou Liwan heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and quickly refused: "It's not a big deal, so don't call my uncle over. Besides, he's busier than you, so let's not trouble him."

If I want my uncle to come, I might as well stay alone!

In my memory, my uncle was a gentleman and polite, and he was always impeccable in his dealings with others, but he gave people a sense of indifference, as if he was keeping people at a distance.

Every time he spoke to him, there was no emotion in his eyes, making Zhou Liwan feel like an insignificant ant being looked at carelessly by him.

No matter how many times Zhou Liwan lived her life again, she would never dare to face that feeling.

"Grandpa, please don't let..."

"Dad." The magnetic voice seemed to suddenly float down from the ninth heaven. It was cold and light, but almost in an instant, all other sounds disappeared.

Zhou Liwan turned his head stiffly and looked at the person coming at the door.

This is a man whose appearance is difficult to describe in words. He has deep facial features and a clear mind and a handsome appearance.

The curve of the jaw is natural, and every inch of skin looks like jade that has been carved thousands of times. It is absolutely worthy of the saying: cut and polished, carved and polished.

The tall figure was upright and handsome, with a dark black suit jacket draped over his elbows. From Zhou Liwan's perspective, she could just see his angular facial features, which were deep and handsome.

"Oh, you're just in time. I have a meeting later and have to go. You can stay and take care of Wanwan."

Zhou Liwan tried hard to force out a seemingly happy smile, and said bitterly: "Uncle."

"Okay." Shen Nanzhou responded in a calm voice, and then nodded slightly, as a greeting to Zhou Liwan, his nominal niece.

"Okay, I feel more at ease with Nanzhou here. You should have a good rest every night. Grandpa will come to see you as soon as he has time." Jiang Hongshan touched Zhou Liwan's head lovingly before leaving, and then left reluctantly.

The spacious ward fell silent in an instant. Zhou Liwan felt awkward, not knowing whether to lie down or sit.

It just doesn't seem right at all.

"Sorry to trouble my uncle. You are so busy but you still have to come to the hospital to accompany me. Actually..." Zhou Liwan couldn't stand it anymore and thought it would be better to persuade his uncle to go back.

"It's nothing to trouble you. Just have a good rest and don't think too much." After he said that, he poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Zhou Liwan, who looked pale.

Zhou Liwan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to take it, but her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.

His eyes were long and narrow, with the corners slightly upturned. They were clearly charming phoenix eyes, but his deep black pupils reflected a bit of the majesty of a superior.

It was the first time that Shen Nanzhou was being looked at so closely by someone. He felt a little uncomfortable, but his good upbringing prevented him from showing any abnormality. When he saw the other person's expression, he even asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhou Liwan swallowed a mouthful of hot tea, her eyes filled with mist. She really could not have imagined that she would be taken care of like this by her uncle during her lifetime.

You know, in her previous life, her gentle uncle never even looked at her.

Maybe he also looked down on the cowardly and incompetent bastard in his previous life who ignored his beloved grandfather because of a few words from his father.

Realizing this, Zhou Liwan was almost in a trance.

Shen Nanzhou seemed to be really busy. Seeing that Zhou Liwan did not answer him, he did not ask any more questions. He directly asked his assistant to put the computer and documents away. Then he began to stare at the computer the whole time, his slender fingertips tapping on the keyboard continuously, as if there were a lot of matters that needed his attention.

Zhou Liwan wanted to say something else, but was afraid of disturbing him at work, so she just sat there quietly and stared blankly.

But then again, it seemed like I couldn't hear my uncle's thoughts at all.

Grandma, Han Xiaofen, aunt, grandpa, Zhou Qingya, Han Kui, they can hear their own voices.

Only the man in front of me seemed to have no mental activity at all.

"Are you bored?"

Shen Nanzhou spoke suddenly, and Zhou Liwan came to her senses, thinking she had misheard: "What?"

Shen Nanzhou stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and said with a cold and gentle look in his eyes: "If you feel bored, do you need me to find you a movie to watch to kill time?"

Is eye contact necessary?

Zhou Liwan thought of this and jumped down from the bed. She ran to Shen Nanzhou, squatted down and stared into his eyes: "Will this disturb my uncle's work?"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The man's eyes were wise and cold, like a deep and bottomless spring, as if they could see through everything in the world, making her feel overwhelmed and with nowhere to hide.

I didn't read his heart, but it seemed like this man saw through me inside and out, from body to soul.

Facing the girl's sudden approach, Shen Nanzhou stepped back inconspicuously: "No."

Zhou Liwan naturally saw Shen Nanzhou's little move. He scratched his head awkwardly and walked back to the bedroom, covering himself with the quilt: "Forget it, I suddenly feel a little sleepy. Uncle, you go do your thing, don't worry about me, I'll get some sleep first."

Shen Nanzhou said softly: "Okay, then you take a rest and tell me if you have anything to say."

After the conversation ended, the ward fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard.

Zhou Liwan quickly got used to this strange pattern.

I really couldn't stay in the ward in the afternoon, so I went to the garden with Shen Nanzhou.

The only difference was that he continued to work in an outdoor environment, while I was wandering around aimlessly, occasionally trying to find topics to talk about with my special assistant who was staring at me.

Soon it was night, and my grandfather was about to come over but was stopped by me. My uncle, who had been here for a day, was finally summoned away for an emergency meeting.

His nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed. Under the care of the nurse, Zhou Liwan soon fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Mom, look, she's still asleep. I told you, what could possibly happen to her? She's just pretending!"

A sharp, piercing and annoying sound suddenly rang in his ears, and Zhou Liwan slowly woke up from his sleep.

"Wanwan, you are about to grow up, why are you still so childish? You made such a big fuss over such a small matter. Qingya, the top student in psychology, said that this is a manifestation of psychological avoidance, which is just anxiety. As for mobilizing so many people and asking the old man to come, people who don't know would think that the Zhou family treated you harshly! Okay, aunt, apologize to her. We adults are generous and don't care about little girls."

The more Zhou Liwan listened, the darker her face became, as if water was almost dripping out of it. She didn't go to settle the score with them, but they came to her and blamed her instead.

Is this the satisfactory answer that dad would give?

Zhou Liwan felt bitter in her heart. She lowered her head and sneered, "Your Excellency is magnanimous? Humph."

This family always manages to break new ground every time.

"Why should I..." Zhou Wenyue saw her mother's stern face and could only swallow the rest of the sentence back in frustration. Then she walked to the bedside reluctantly and said vaguely, "I'm sorry."

But when he saw that the other party didn't even look at him and didn't immediately accept his apology, he immediately got angry again.

Because her mother was present, she rolled her eyes, smiled maliciously, and slowly whispered in Zhou Liwan's ear: "You always thought Han Xiaofen was the mistress, but in fact your mother is. In the world of love, the mistress is the one who is not loved. Your father doesn't love your mother, that bitch!"

She still didn't believe that she couldn't get this bitch to death.

Unexpectedly, before she could start to feel proud, someone grabbed her hair.
