Zhou Anan sat aside. Seeing that her mother had no smile on her face, she pulled her mother's arm from behind, then looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, when will you and Dad make up?"

Nancy put the phone away and patted her daughter's head: "An An, this is a matter between Dad and Mom. Once the problem is resolved, Mom and Dad will be back to normal."

"What if the problem can't be solved?"

Nancy was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "It won't be unsolvable."

The husband simply doesn't want to get involved in the power struggles. Either someone compromises or keeps resisting, and the problem will eventually be solved.

But no one knows what the outcome will be after the incident is over.

Zhou Anan didn’t understand the adults’ twists and turns. She only knew that her parents would not separate, and would not leave her, and the heavy stone in her heart fell completely.

The car was driving at a constant speed. She felt a little sleepy and fell asleep leaning on her mother's arms.

Looking at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, Nancy gently stroked her cheek with her fingers, feeling very complicated.

When they got home, Teacher Zhan sent a message to Nancy, asking about Zhou Anan's health.

Nancy replied: "Thank you, Teacher Zhan, for your concern. The child is fine and has returned home to rest. An An will rest at home for the next two days and will not be going to school for now."

[Okay, I wish An An a speedy recovery.]

Putting down her phone, Zhou Anan went to sleep in the room while Nancy went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After she finished cutting the vegetables and turned on the range hood, her cell phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, she turned off the cigarette smoker and immediately answered the call.

"Hey."

"Xiao Xi, we've already found some clues about the identity of the real culprit behind this. The other family seems to have known about this matter and has mobilized a lot of forces to suppress it."

Nancy asked, "Do you know the grudge between the murderer and Nan Li?"

The man said, "I haven't found any grudges between them yet, but listen to my advice. If you can avoid getting involved in this matter, try not to. If you get targeted by those people, you won't end up well."

Is this the method used by a big family?

It's not like she hasn't seen this before.

Back then, Shi Lin worked very hard to go from being an inconspicuous illegitimate child to standing in front of Mr. Shi.

As Shi Lin's woman, she was naturally targeted by those who wanted to bring Shi Lin down.

Memories of the past came to mind, and Nancy's eyelashes trembled.

She said softly, "I see. Thank you."

When the man on the other end of the phone heard her tone, he knew he couldn't persuade her, but he didn't say much.

Everyone has their own choice.

"Okay, nothing else, let's leave it at that."

"and many more."

"what happened?"

"I'd like to ask you to help me investigate another person."

"Who?"

"The current person in charge of the Shi Group is Shi Lin."

The other party was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's your grudge?"

Nancy tightened her grip on the phone, then whispered, "I'll fight him to the death."

Now that we've come this far, let's just go big.

She wanted to see if God would always be on Shi Lin's side.

"Okay, wait for my news."

After ending the call, Nancy deleted the call record, then opened a black software and made a remittance on it.

Although she has been staying at home, she is not without income.

Six years ago, she obtained the AICPA certificate.

At that time, Shi Lin did not think highly of what she did. After she got the certificate, he coaxed her to be a full-time housewife at home.

Later, after meeting Zhou Jinfan, Zhou Jinfan never interfered with her thoughts and supported all her actions.

During the years in Country M, she also earned her own income with this skill.

Even after returning to China, she would still receive contact from her former collaborators.

After everything was done, Nancy calmly put away her phone, lit the stove and started cooking.

After cooking, Nancy was about to go to the room to wake her daughter up for dinner when the door was opened from the outside.

Nancy stood in the living room and looked at Zhou Jinfan at the door.

They both stood there in silence for two seconds. Then Nancy turned her head away, raised her foot and tried to leave as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Nancy."

Zhou Jinfan walked in carrying something and closed the door.

Nancy paused.

Zhou Jinfan whispered, "Nancy, can we have a good chat?"

Nancy turned to look at Zhou Jinfan calmly: "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"

Looking at Nancy's expression, Zhou Jinfan felt as if a sharp knife was stabbed into his heart again, causing severe pain.

How long has it been?

It seemed that Nancy would only show such an expression to him at the beginning when she didn't know him and always looked at him with vigilance and defense.

Since the two got married, Nancy has always been gentle and smiling, like a hibiscus flower swaying in the wind.

Zhou Jinfan put the small cake he bought for his daughter on the table, walked slowly forward, stretched out his arms and hugged Nancy in his arms.

Nancy's nostrils were enveloped by a familiar scent, and the fingers hanging at her sides curled up slightly, with an inexplicable sour feeling at the tip of her nose.

Zhou Jinfan's Adam's apple rolled twice with difficulty, and he hugged Nancy tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Nancy felt his movement and her heart sank slightly.

There is such a tacit understanding between them, so tacit that they can know what the other person wants just by one gesture.

After a long silence, Nancy spoke softly: "Jinfan, you know me."

No matter how big the storm is, or whether what she wants to do can succeed, she must take this step.

If she does nothing, she won't be able to get over it.

Zhou Jinfan closed his eyes in pain. He knew that Nancy was not wrong in this matter, but he was wrong.

It was him who concealed his identity first.

It was him, timid and cowardly, afraid of losing, so afraid that he didn't even have the courage to confess.

But now, he just wants to protect his wife and daughter.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "Nancy, this time I'm begging you, okay?"

"You don't know at all that the Zhou family is a place that eats people without leaving any bones. If you are targeted by them, I..."

"Nancy, I'm afraid. I can't afford the risk that you might get hurt."

Nancy raised her head and looked at Zhou Jinfan intently.

The man's eyes were red, and his eyes, which were usually gentle and bright, were now full of pleading.

Nancy's heart felt as if it were being pierced by a needle, causing her to feel a sharp and intense pain.

She raised her hand and slowly touched Zhou Jinfan's flawless face, which was as sharp as a knife. Finally, her hand trembled and covered Zhou Jinfan's broken eyes.

"Jinfan, I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, my love, I can't agree to your request.

The palm of her hand was brushed by the man's feather-like eyelashes, and hot liquid slid down from her palm. Nancy's heart trembled with this tear.
