Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

Upon seeing the name, Auntie San immediately said, "Auntie, that's Jianye's phone number."

Xu Fengzhen was looking at the photos and videos Zhou Yi had sent her on her phone, and she started to smile as she looked at them.

Very loving, very reassuring.

However, this kindness and peace of mind disappeared after hearing what her third aunt said.

It should be said that all her warmth vanished upon hearing the name "Jianye".

The third aunt handed the phone to Xu Fengzhen, and seeing Xu Fengzhen's expression turn cold in an instant, she didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yi didn't know, but they did.

Zhou Jianye had an extramarital affair, which was discovered by Zhou Yi's mother, causing her to have a difficult childbirth and die after giving birth to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi's mother passed away, Zhou Jianye openly began a relationship with her, and even quickly brought her to meet Xu Fengzhen.

Xu Fengzhen was fair, strict with herself, and kind to others. Although she was not well-educated, she knew the most fundamental things.

Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame.

So when Zhou Jianye brought the other party to her home, Xu Fengzhen immediately kicked him out, saying that he, Zhou Jianye, was no longer her son.

From then on, Zhou Jianye left the small town and went to develop his career elsewhere.

He ignored Zhou Yi and Xu Fengzhen, and simply left.

I heard that he's doing very well outside, his business is growing bigger and bigger, and he's now a big boss.

Very rich.

Of course, Zhou Jianye never forgot his mother. After he became successful, he bought a house for Xu Fengzhen in the city and even said that he would take Xu Fengzhen to Yunzhou City to live with him in his old age, but Xu Fengzhen refused.

Xu Fengzhen said that she is no longer his mother and they have no relationship.

She can't afford his house or his money.

And so, Xu Fengzhen lived in this unremarkable town, in her simple little house, leading a simple life.

Everyone advised Xu Fengzhen not to argue with her son, that the past was the past, and that Zhou Yi was already so old, there was no need to dwell on the past.

Xu Fengzhen said that some things can be let go, and some things cannot.

Such heinous acts will inevitably be punished sooner or later.

She couldn't afford the kind of money that was tainted by karma.

After Xu Fengzhen said that, everyone stopped trying to persuade her.

Zhou Jianye also had a temper, and he indeed never came back, refused to give Xu Fengzhen any money, and ignored Zhou Yi, who was raised and nurtured entirely by Xu Fengzhen.

Xu Fengzhen looked at the name on her phone. This number belonged to Zhou Jianye more than 20 years ago. He had changed it in the past, but when he called Xu Fengzhen with a new number, she hung up immediately. So he went through a lot of trouble to find the old number.

If you call Xu Fengzhen using your old number, she will answer.

Xu Fengzhen never deleted this number.

For over twenty years, it has been in her phone book.

Third Aunt looked at Xu Fengzhen on her phone. Seeing that Xu Fengzhen was looking at her phone and not answering, she said helplessly, "Auntie, please answer. You are so old. Jianye just wanted to say hello to you."

Xu Fengzhen seemed to be thinking about something; her eyes held memories that had been buried for many years.

Even now, recalling these past events is incredibly painful.

Hearing her aunt's words, Xu Fengzhen's eyes flickered, and those painful memories sank deep into the past, disappearing from sight.

She took the phone and smiled at her aunt, "Jia Hong, you go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you later to see how to send me the photos and videos that Yi Yi sent you."

Third Aunt knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to be there while Xu Fengzhen was on the phone, so she immediately said, "Okay, Aunt! I've saved all the photos and videos Zhou Yi sent. I'll send them to you when you come over later!"

Xu Fengzhen smiled and said, "Okay."

Auntie San didn't linger any longer and quickly left.

As Xu Fengzhen watched her third aunt leave, the smile on her face faded.

She picked up her phone, went into the main room, and answered the call: "Hello."

"Mom, how are you feeling?"

The concerned voice came from the phone, showing none of the airs of a big boss, but rather the respect and filial piety of a son towards his mother.

Xu Fengzhen remained expressionless upon hearing such a voice: "I'm fine, no need for President Zhou to worry."

Hearing Xu Fengzhen's indifferent voice, which had remained unchanged for over twenty years, Zhou Jianye's smile froze for a moment, but he continued to smile and said, "I'm relieved that you're in good health. Isn't it summer vacation now? Jiali and Yichen are also on vacation. I plan to bring the two children back to see you with Huilan."

“Your grandchildren have all grown up and are very tall, but they have never met their grandmother.”

“No need. Mr. Zhou and I severed our relationship twenty-two years ago. We are no longer mother and son. Your wife and children have no relation to me, Xu Fengzhen. I, Xu Fengzhen, only have one granddaughter, Zhou Yi, and only one daughter-in-law, Zuo Qing.”

The smile on Zhou Jianye's face completely vanished.

His face looked extremely pale.

Sun Huilan sat on the armrest of the sofa next to him, holding a fruit plate in her hand. Seeing Zhou Jianye's smile that he couldn't seem to recover, she gently patted his back.

The soothing force gently landed on Zhou Jianye's back, easing his displeasure. His expression gradually returned to normal, and he said, "Mom, no matter what, I have the blood of the Zhou family flowing in my veins, and Zhou Yi is also my daughter. She also has my blood flowing in her veins."

Upon hearing this, Sun Huilan's eyes flickered as she looked at Zhou Jianye's expression, and then her reassuring tone became even lighter.

Xu Fengzhen sneered: "There are so many Zhou family members across the country. If you count them all by blood, they are all relatives. Zhou Yi, she has Zuo Qing's blood in her veins. She has no relation to you, Zhou Jianye."

Zhou Jianye squinted and gripped his phone tightly: "Mom, what you're saying is unreasonable."

"Ha, I'm being unreasonable. How about I expose what you and Sun Huilan did back then, and let the whole country see what kind of people you are?"

Zhou Jianye's expression turned completely cold.

Cold as ice.

Xu Fengzhen said, "Behave yourself and be a good President Zhou. Live your life of luxury with Sun Huilan. Don't come looking for this old woman, and don't go looking for Zhou Yi either."

"If you dare to go after Zhou Yi, I'll fight you to the death!"

After saying that, Xu Fengzhen slammed down the phone.

As Zhou Jianye listened to the busy tone on his phone, his hands clenched into fists, cracking loudly.

Sun Huilan quickly put down the fruit plate and patted his back repeatedly, saying, "It's my fault."

"Mom has been unable to get over it all because of me. This time, I'm taking Jiali and Yichen with me to apologize to Mom in person."

"If the information we received this time is true, the project from above will be approved in a month or two. I cannot allow your big project to disappear just because of my connections."

Sun Huilan spoke while observing Zhou Jianye's expression, and when she mentioned news and projects, Zhou Jianye's anger visibly subsided.

The clenched fist gradually relaxed.

Zhou Jianye looked apologetic, took her hand and held it, "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to get Mom's approval all these years."

"You have been wronged."

Sun Huilan shook her head and hugged him: "I'm not wronged. It was me. I was so infatuated with you that I made you do that."

"It is my turn to atone for my sins."

"Don't worry, I will not let anyone stop your career, including myself."

Sun Huilan's eyes narrowed slightly, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.
