The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Zhou Yanhuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. She gazed at the old lady before her and said softly, "Grandma, I no longer feel that the past was full of bitterness. You see, I have my great-grandmother, grandparents, and my brother who was lost for many years but was fortunate enough to be reunited with me. As long as we are together, the difficult roads we have walked and the various hardships we have experienced are no longer painful memories for me. Instead, they have become precious treasures in my life, because all of these are invaluable and worth treasuring to me."

After a brief pause, Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath and continued, "As for your statement that 'the hatred of the older generation should not be borne by the younger generation,' I cannot agree with it. Take the grudge between Zhou Zu'an and me, for example; they had a deep-seated hatred between them. If I were not him, my mother might have grown up under the careful care of my great-grandmother and grandparents, instead of being separated from them forever. If I were not him, my brother would not have been separated from my parents. And the most regrettable thing is that they did not know that they had a son who had been lost and wandering until they left this world. Therefore, it seems to me that fate has already destined me to shoulder this responsibility."

Grandma Vanessa listened quietly to Zhou Yanhuan's endless tale, understanding that the clever young girl was trying to comfort her. She couldn't help but smile slightly, playfully scolding, "Oh dear, you little rascal! I've only said a few words, and you've already rattled off a whole bunch! You really know how to make this old woman happy. Alright, alright, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me about your brother!"

Zhou Yanhuan replied with a smile, "Grandma, don't worry! Here's what happened: Back when I was in China, I exposed all those guys' evil deeds online. Over the years, someone has been silently watching over me, and that person is my brother. When he found out that someone was bullying me, he stood up to protect me without hesitation. That's how we exchanged contact information."

However, Grandma Vanessa seemed dissatisfied with Zhou Yanhuan's evasive answer. She gently patted Zhou Yanhuan's shoulder, her expression turning serious: "Little girl, I don't want to hear these irrelevant things. What I want to know is, how did you find out about your brother's illness? And how could a young girl like you know anything about medicine?"

Upon hearing the old lady's question, Zhou Yanhuan spilled the beans, saying, "It's nothing. That night, I had a nightmare, like an observer watching his entire life unfold. I don't know why, maybe it was a warning from heaven, or maybe it's the telepathy between twins. Anyway, after I added him on social media, I sensed something was off about his conversation. I felt like something was about to happen, and then I had that dream. So, I came back. As for the medical skills, I learned them from a strange man in Longcheng when I was a child."

Grandma Vanessa frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "You little girl, are you really going to put yourself through this for a dream? Don't you know you just gave birth? Count the days, are you out of your postpartum period yet? Little girl, you're not alone, you have us as your family! You don't have to carry everything on your own."

Zhou Yanhuan sat there quietly, listening to the old lady talk endlessly about all the things that happened during her postpartum period. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and she felt like she had a lot of unspeakable suffering.

She desperately wanted to tell the old lady that she wasn't the one who gave birth, that she wasn't the one who needed to recuperate after childbirth, and that she certainly wasn't the one who was running around and working hard right after giving birth! However, she swallowed those words back down her throat.

Because she knew perfectly well that this matter absolutely could not be known to more people. Every additional person who learned the inside story meant an increase in potential risk and crisis. She had to do everything in her power to protect her elder brother and sister-in-law, and absolutely could not allow them to suffer any harm.

Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath, trying to calm her chaotic thoughts. Then, she forced a smile and replied softly, "Great-Grandma, don't worry! Actually, I've rested for a full two weeks, and I've almost fully recovered. It's just that the situation is special right now, and I had no choice but to act so hastily. As for the baby, I've asked Sister Camilia and her fiancé to help take care of him for a while. They will definitely take good care of the baby, so please don't worry!"

Zhou Yanhuan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then tightly grasped Vanessa's hand, saying coquettishly, "Grandma! Listen to me~ Actually, I think my brother's matter is really very important. Compared to him, my little thing is insignificant! Besides, I know my own body very well, and after this period of recuperation, I've almost recovered. When we get back to China, I promise I'll obediently take another month of postpartum confinement, I definitely won't slack off! So, please, Grandma, stop nagging me, okay? Please~~" As she spoke, she shook Vanessa's arm, trying to get her to give in through coquettishness.

However, this elderly Vanessa has lived for over eighty years and is very knowledgeable. How could she be easily fooled by such petty tricks?

Grandma Vanessa stared intently at Zhou Yanhuan, who was now pleading with her, her expression grave. Her tone was serious yet expectant as she asked, "So, my dear child, can you honestly tell me who the biological father of your children is? I want to know which outstanding young talent could have made my beloved great-grandchild, knowing full well the difficult situation she would face, still choose to become pregnant out of wedlock and give birth to the child. Could it be that the child's father is Si Yanjing, the one you liked so much back then?"

Grandma Vanessa poured out all her deepest doubts without any reservations.

Upon hearing the old lady mention such a sensitive topic, Zhou Yanhuan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. Then, crystal-clear tears quickly filled her beautiful eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

At this moment, she resembled a resilient little white flower, endearing and lovable.

Zhou Yanhuan said with a slight tremor in her voice, sobbing softly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you who the child's father is! It's just that you've really misunderstood. The child's biological father is not Si Yanjing. In fact, how I wish I could bring him to you so you could meet him, but... but I can no longer do it. He was a brave and fearless soldier who heroically 'sacrificed' himself to protect the country."

Upon hearing these words, it was as if Grandma Vanessa had witnessed the heartbreaking scene and the truth revealed by Zhou Yanhuan, and her heart softened instantly, and her previous blame towards her vanished.

Immediately afterward, Grandma Vanessa slowly reached out and hugged Zhou Yanhuan tightly, soothing her gently, "Zhenzhen, don't cry. Your great-grandmother won't ask about this anymore. They're just two adorable little ones. Back in the day, I, your great-grandmother, gave birth to your grandparents out of wedlock. If it weren't for the fact that your grandparents' royal family wouldn't acknowledge these two children, or wouldn't want to register them under your name, we wouldn't be those so-called princesses. How about this, you'll take your great-grandmother's surname, and the children will all be registered under the Hollis family."

As Vanessa held Zhou Yanhuan tightly in her arms, a sly smile crept across her lips, but it vanished as quickly as a shooting star.

Zhou Yanhuan thought to herself, "Great-Grandma, please don't blame me! I was forced by circumstances to resort to this. Zhenzhen didn't mean to deceive you. In fact, it wasn't entirely a lie..."

At this moment, Zhou Yanhuan was like a well-behaved kitten, quietly nestled in the old lady's warm embrace, the two of them immersed in the peaceful and serene atmosphere of time passing by.

However, Prince Carlos, the son, was completely unaware of this.

He had no idea that his beloved mother had already begun to plan that if he refused to acknowledge Zhou Yanhuan's two children, she would make Zhou Yanhuan change his surname to the Hollis family name.
