The little money-grubber just wants to lie down, Mr. Huo's sweet wife

Si Nian was a little puzzled. She had seen the photo Zhou Jinan brought. There was some resemblance, but it wasn't a mistake.

Looking at the reaction of Mr. Zhou, it felt like the real person was standing in front of me.

But she is not.

"Dad, Si Nian and Auntie are somewhat similar. I have discussed with you before and asked Miss Si Nian to stay with Grandpa these days and come to visit every day..."

Zhou Mingli nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's really troublesome, little girl. The old man is not in his right mind right now, and he is only thinking about his daughter... I'm sorry to bother you these few days."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou has already told me that I will come over in the next few days..."

Si Nian was relieved then. Seeing that they had no objections, he felt relieved.

Fortunately, no one objected. What she was most afraid of was that someone would suddenly come out and sing a different tune, and she would have no position to refute.

After Si Nian and Zhou Jinan went upstairs, Zhou Mingli's younger brother Zhou Mingyu came forward and said, "Brother, this little girl looks exactly like my sister before she had plastic surgery!"

He would never believe that there was no relationship between them.

How could Zhou Mingli not know that Si Nian's face was exactly the same as his younger sister's before the accident. His younger sister had been injured before and was almost burned to death by arson. Her face was disfigured and had to undergo skin grafting surgery to heal.

There was a big change in her appearance compared to before. In order not to make their sister sad, they put away all the old photos. The photos in the album all showed their sister after plastic surgery.

So....there is a difference between Si Nian's face and his sister's.

"I know, but my sister has been missing for 22 years, along with my niece. Si Nian is the eldest daughter of the Si family and has lived in the Imperial Capital for 22 years. She should have nothing to do with my younger sister."

Zhou Mingli wished he wasn't so calm, because he had a strong premonition in his heart that Si Nian was definitely related to their Zhou family.

But...the facts are in front of him...and he has to accept reality.

Zhou Mingyu shook his head, disagreeing with his elder brother's point of view: "Although my younger sister and niece disappeared at the same time, we didn't see it. It was my younger sister who took my niece away. What if something unexpected happened in between? What if my younger sister didn't take my niece away? Then is it possible that Si Nian..."

Zhou Mingli was stunned. He seemed not to have thought of this possibility. He had not even thought that his sister would give up her child.

No, what if there is some hardship?

Perhaps, it is not the case at all.

"Then let's do an identification. What if it really is my Zhou family's child? Then he must return to the Zhou family and cannot be left wandering outside."

Zhou Mingli spoke, and Zhou Mingyu was very excited!

If Si Nian is really my niece, that would be great!

There are only two girls in the Zhou family. Besides my wife, there's only my younger sister and my niece. My younger sister is missing. If Si Nian is my niece...

Maybe the old man's illness will be cured all of a sudden.

The two were planning how to get Si Nian's hair and didn't notice Huo Beixiao at the door at all.

"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, what are you doing here?"

Obviously, Huo Beixiao did not hear their conspiracy...

"Bei Xiao is here. Your second uncle and I are discussing something small...Jin An is upstairs visiting his grandfather, you..."

Huo Beixiao nodded and said in a deep voice: "Is Miss Si Nian here too?"

"how do you know?"

"I was there when Jin An invited Miss Si Nian to help that day...so I knew about it and came to take a look today."

"Well, that's it. They're upstairs. Go check them out."

Huo Beixiao nodded slightly, exuding a noble aura, worthy of being the heir to a large family.

Upstairs, Mr. Zhou was genuinely startled when he saw Si Nian. He called out in a daze, "Yier, Yier, is that you?"

Zhou Jinan explained on the side: "Yier is my aunt's nickname. Her real name is Zhou Lanyi. Grandpa recognized you as his aunt."

Si Nian found it a little unbelievable. After all, she... didn't look very similar, so how could she have made a mistake?

"Then what should my name be?"

Si Nian was in a dilemma. He couldn't just call him 'Dad', because then the old man's coffin wouldn't be able to hold him down after he died. It would be a great humiliation to him.

And she is a generation older than Zhou Jinan for no reason. This is really... outrageous to hear!

Zhou Jinan: “…”

"Just call me grandpa and tell me you're my aunt's daughter. She's out of town for treatment and can't come back..."

This is the only way I can make it up. Si Nian is just a 22-year-old girl, and we can't ask her to make such a huge sacrifice.

"Grandpa, I'm Nian Nian, my mother's daughter. Oh, my mother is Zhou Lanyi."

Her eyes were serious, without any sign of lying. Zhou Jinan, watching from the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Si Nian stepped forward and grabbed the old man's hand.

[Tongtong, can you give the old man a comprehensive checkup?]

System: ...Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Will you do it?!

System: Do.

Not long after, the system spoke: Although it seems that he only has a few days left, in fact, the old man still has several years to live. It shouldn't be that long. Let me check again.

Another half a minute passed, and the system spoke again: Someone poisoned the old man, so... you have to find an authoritative Chinese medicine doctor to help the old man detoxify.

Si Nian was stunned. It wasn't a disease, but a poison?

The Zhou family isn't so harmonious and warm on the surface. They're actually so... sinister behind the scenes. Why do they poison people at the drop of a hat? Have they read too many martial arts novels?

She has never come into contact with poison in her life, but she is still living well, isn't she?

Can't you just stay away from all drugs?

Si Nian felt that he still needed to remind Zhou Jinan: "Mr. Zhou, have you ever thought that if Western medicine can't cure it, you should seek help from a Chinese medicine doctor... The old man's lips are purple, it shouldn't be caused by those symptoms... As long as he's still alive, don't give up hope. At least... let a Chinese medicine doctor take a look, maybe there is hope."

"I think what Miss Si Nian said is very right. Jin An, you can refer to it. I know a good Chinese medicine doctor and I can recommend him to you."

Huo Beixiao appeared at the door of the room. Zhou Jinan looked over and frowned inexplicably: "Why are you here?"

"Can't you come and see the old man?"

"Of course." Zhou Jinan sighed, then said, "Then let's find a Chinese doctor to take a look. I don't want the old man to die like this."

After all, he is only in his 70s and can definitely live for several more years.

"Well, I'll give you the contact information for a Chinese medicine practitioner. You can get him to come and take a look at the old man. Purple lips don't necessarily mean there's something wrong with your organs. There's another possibility—poisoning."

Huo Beixiao expressed his thoughts, which also happened to be Si Nian's thoughts. Who would have thought that the two of them had such similar ideas?!
