The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Zhou Yanhuan looked at Vanessa and continued to ask, "What is your second wish?"

Vanessa looked at Zhou Yanhuan with some sadness and said, "I don't know if your grandfather ever told you that your third grandfather, who is also my youngest son, was not born to the same father as them, but was a half-brother."

Zhou Yanhuan was surprised that Vanessa's great-grandmother would bring this up. She paused for a moment, then nodded to indicate that she already knew.

“Yes, I’ve heard Grandpa mention it,” Zhou Yanhuan replied softly.

Grandma Vanessa sighed softly and said slowly, "We've never told you who your great-grandfather's father really was."

Upon hearing her great-grandmother's words, Zhou Yanhuan suddenly had a bold idea. She frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt and confusion, but she still couldn't help but ask tentatively in a low voice, "Grandpa's biological father... is he... Grandpa Si Moyuan?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's words, a hint of surprise flashed across Vanessa's face, and she couldn't help but admire her intelligence. However, she didn't deny it, but directly admitted, "Yes, your third grandfather's biological father is Si Moyuan of the Si family in China, who was my first love. Back then, I was hypnotized and had my memories altered, and I was used to become a puppet to be with Zhou Xunxian. Later, I found out that it was all a deception, and I was forced to separate from him, so I decided to remain single. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. One night many years later, we accidentally had a relationship, and then I chose to run away. A few months later, I found out that I was pregnant with your third grandfather. Although I was conflicted, I couldn't bear to abort the child, so I gave birth to him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan asked with a puzzled look, "Great-Grandma, this is a classic novel trope, running away while pregnant. But in other novels, the pregnant woman would return to the CEO's side after a few years. Great-Grandma, you've gone and left the father with the child." Her voice carried a hint of surprise and curiosity, as if she were exploring a mysterious and interesting story.

After teasing him, Zhou Yanhuan smiled faintly, but her eyes revealed a hint of confusion. She continued, "Great-Grandma, all these years you've been secretly observing Grandpa Si Moyuan's every move, so why have you never appeared before him? He doesn't even know he has a son. Great-Grandma, why do you do this?"

Her words were full of questions, and she seemed puzzled by the old woman's behavior.

She tried to understand why the old lady had chosen this way to handle her relationship with Grandpa Si Moyuan. Zhou Yanhuan's gaze fell on the old lady, hoping she could provide an answer.

The old lady frowned slightly, as if Zhou Yanhuan's question had touched some deep emotions within her. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "I have my reasons. I was forced to make that decision back then." Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness, as if she were recalling painful experiences from the past.

Zhou Yanhuan looked at the old lady, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes. She gently held the old lady's hand and comforted her, "Great-Grandma, no matter what, so many years have passed, we should look forward. Perhaps it's time to let Grandpa Si Moyuan know the truth, after all, he also has the right to know what happened back then."

The old lady sighed and nodded in agreement. She looked at Zhou Yanhuan gratefully and said, "Thank you, Yanhuan. Perhaps you're right; it's time to face the past."

Zhou Yanhuan quickly asked, "So what happened to Great-Grandma? What exactly happened back then?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yanhuan's question, Grandma Vanessa sighed, her gaze becoming deep and distant, as if she had traveled back in time. She slowly began to recount that painful past:

"This story begins when I was 18. My great-grandmother was a naive and carefree young girl, just like you are now, full of dreams and fantasies about the future. At that time, I also had someone I deeply loved. We loved each other and looked forward to spending our lives together. However, fate played a cruel joke on us..."

At this point, Vanessa paused, a hint of pain and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Just as we were about to walk down the aisle together, Zhou Xunxian suddenly barged into my world. His sharp eyes revealed a chilling coldness and scheming. He claimed to have fallen in love with me at first sight, but this so-called 'love' was merely a selfish tactic. When he proposed, I refused him without hesitation. But to my surprise, he readily accepted my rejection and disappeared from my life. I thought it was all over, but little did I know, this was only the beginning of a nightmare..."

Grandma Vanessa composed herself and continued, "But I never expected that the day after I received Mo Yuan's token of love, I would forget him, forget my original memories, and forget the memories between me and my lover. It's like I inexplicably fell in love with Zhou Xunxian, and at the time I didn't know that Zhou Xunxian already had a wife. I just inexplicably loved him. I don't know what was wrong with me at the time. Later, I had a relationship with Zhou Xunxian and became pregnant. Until one afternoon, when Zhou Xunxian was not around, my father found me."

They faked my death to escape and brought me back to Yuzhou Kingdom. My father then wondered why I was acting so strangely, suddenly falling in love with a married man. He found it very odd and tried all sorts of methods to figure out why I had become like this. Finally, a wise man came to my father's door.

Zhou Yanhuan was a little confused, but she still pressed on, "And then, what exactly did that scumbag do to you?"

Grandma Vanessa was filled with anger when she mentioned this, saying, "That expert looked at my face and told me that my father and I were cursed, and it was a transferred curse. That is to say, the curse on me originally belonged to Zhou Xunxian, but he transferred the curse to me, so that I and my descendants would suffer the misfortune of this curse."

Hearing Vanessa's words, Zhou Yanhuan was so enraged by the Zhou family's shameless behavior that she gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound. She said resentfully, "What curse was it? Did that expert finally lift the curse on Great-Grandma?"

Grandma Vanessa said with a wry smile, "That expert's guidance wasn't enough to break the curse. So my descendants and I are all burdened by this curse, Zhenzhen, you should be able to sense it."

Hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan felt an urge to kill. She couldn't imagine how much mental torment her great-grandmother had suffered over the years. All these years, her great-grandmother had watched her descendants bear such a curse because of her. It wasn't her intention, nor was it her fault, but it was still immense mental torture for her.

Zhou Yanhuan calmed herself down and looked at Grandma Vanessa, asking, "So what kind of curse is it? Grandma, you've been talking for so long but haven't said what your second wish is?"

Grandma Vanessa looked at Zhou Yanhuan with kind eyes and a gentle smile, and slowly said, "Grandma's second wish is that you can help your third grandfather reunite with his father. That expert came to me again some time ago and said that perhaps only you can accomplish this. After all, the expert said in advance that the curse will end when it reaches you, and you will have a way to break the curse... Of course, if it is really difficult to achieve, that's fine too."

Zhou Yanhuan listened quietly, and after the old lady finished speaking, she answered without hesitation: "I can fulfill this wish for you, but great-grandmother, can you tell me now what kind of curse Zhou Xunxian has placed on you?"

Grandma Vanessa sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, and explained in a low voice, "Actually, it can be said that two curses overlapped. According to the wise man, one of them is a love curse, and the other is a family fate curse. These two intertwined, ultimately forming the curse I bear."

Grandma Vanessa continued, "This curse begins with the first cursed member of the family, then binds the entire family together through a chain reaction of fate. The destinies of each family member are closely intertwined, and each generation has a chosen one, like a chosen one. This chosen one can never be with the one they deeply love. Once they are together, either their partner dies, or they themselves die, or perhaps both of them die. Another possibility is that if the chosen one's partner suddenly betrays them when their feelings are at their deepest and most inseparable, the curse on the cursed person is fulfilled, preventing them from ever reuniting with their loved one. This curse forms an unbreakable chain reaction. Because family members cannot escape each other's influence, they live in endless entanglement and conflict, ultimately trapped in a vortex of fate from which they cannot extricate themselves."

Upon hearing this explanation, Zhou Yanhuan's first reaction was that all of this was actually traceable.

The events that happened to his great-grandmother, his parents, and her were explained.

It all comes down to this damned curse, and the culprit behind it all is none other than that scumbag Zhou Xunxian from the Zhou family.

Zhou Yanhuan suddenly realized that Si Yanjingjin had betrayed her and broken the vows they had made when their relationship seemed to be at its deepest.

At the same time, she instantly realized the real reason for her parents' deaths. Besides the Xie family's scheming and plotting, the more important reason was that this hateful curse had already sealed her parents' fate.

Furthermore, she understood why her great-grandmother loved Grandpa Si Moyuan so much, yet ultimately chose to leave his side and sever all ties with him. What a profound love that was!
