The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 643 - 556 Still Remember Her

Jian Si’s eyes were red as she moved her luggage out pack by pack.

Zhengzheng followed behind her, carrying his own little suitcase.

"Did you not have a pleasant talk?" In the elevator, he lifted his little head.

Jian Si’s tense emotions showed signs of breaking down at his soft voice, she forced a smile at him: "It’s nothing."

"Oh." Zhengzheng leaned against one side of the elevator, his small feet in sandals gently scraping the ground, after a while, he slowly said: "Although he is a good person, I choose... to follow you."

Jian Si was visibly stunned, her brain reacting a beat too slow.

Had Zhengzheng heard everything they were talking about just now?

How could she forget, he was not just an ordinary child; he was more intelligent and curious than other children.

He doesn’t conform to the norm; he always likes to ponder and explore. Thus, when the two of them were whispering in the room, how could he possibly plug his ears and ignore them.

Jian Si felt as if she had lost the ability to speak, her mouth opened but no strength to talk came out.

Did he also know that she was his mother, not his sister?

"Sigh." The little one sighed, sounding quite helpless, "I was planning to expose your lie when I started primary school, but things have moved ahead of schedule."

"You...." Jian Si struggled to breathe, barely squeezing out a word from her throat.

She had thought about admitting their relationship to Zhengzheng, but considering his future life, she had repeatedly convinced herself to endure. This endurance had been worn down by time to the point of stability; sometimes, even she would wake up thinking she was just his sister.

She feared that Zhengzheng would know because her foolishness and irresponsibility back then resulted in his current predicaments. If she had not given birth to him, there won’t be all these troubles.

Jian Si was nervous and uneasy, feeling an urge to flee.

Who knew, Zhengzheng continued to speak unhurriedly: "Actually, I’ve known that you were my mom for a while."

"When did you find out?" Jian Si spoke tremblingly, she was terrified that Zhengzheng would turn and run away in the next second because of her deceit.

"It was simple. I accidentally saw the death certificates of your parents. The date was before my birth date. Since then, I knew they weren’t my parents but my grandparents, and you are my mother." Zhengzheng shrugged his shoulders, "I don’t know why you refuse to acknowledge me, but there can only be two reasons, first, my birth wasn’t blessed; perhaps it was just a mistake. Second, I was found. Clearly, the second reason doesn’t stand; if I was found, it should be the uncle caring for me, not you who’s still in high school, so it has to be the first reason."

Jian Si did not expect that the issue she had worried about for many years could be analyzed so succinctly and accurately by him.

This was her own son; she should understand him best, but now, she felt everything stacked in his little head was perhaps mostly unknown to her.

"Although my biological father looks a bit fierce, considering he is smarter than me, wouldn’t you just settle things with him?"

Jian Si was ashamed: "I’m not looking to marry intelligence."

"And I even tried to matchmake you two." Zhengzheng pouted, but soon moved next to Jian Si, raising his little hand to wrap around her waist, comforting her: "Don’t worry, if it really comes to a lawsuit, I’ll be your lawyer."

A father and son facing each other in court?

"Come on, you don’t have a lawyer’s license." Jian Si rubbed the top of his head, "The court wouldn’t even allow you to appear."

"Sigh, that’s difficult then, why don’t you just go register the marriage to save us from turning against each other."

Jian Si: "..."

The more she listened, the more she felt that something was off, his intentions seemed increasingly clear.

But Jian Si knew it was impossible, there couldn’t be anything between her and Nan Zhan.

"Enough, Kudo Shinyichi, think about how we two are going to move all this luggage to the new house."

Zhengzheng blinked: "This? Minor issue, leave it to me."

After Jian Si and Zhengzheng left, the house that seemed a bit crowded because of their presence immediately became quiet.

Nan Zhan opened a wine cabinet on the side, took out a bottle of red wine, which was a gift from Gu Qili. Her winery hadn’t started officially producing and selling the first batch of wine yet, this was her experimental product. Each of the brothers received a bottle, she treated them like guinea pigs, and a shameless individual named Mu Shuoqian even forced them to drink it and write a wine tasting journal afterward.

Actually, Nan Zhan rarely drank after getting drunk on that night many years ago, he was a principled man, and that drunkenness was just an accident. Yet, that accident made him break his principle,

While he disdained her, he also wanted to understand her more deeply. He told himself it was with a bit of a mischievous mentality; he wanted to see how such a woman was squandering her youth.

However, what surprised him was, she accurately drew a portrait of the suspect, knowing that even experts might not achieve such efficiency.

What shocked him more was that she was with a child, although she said it was her brother, smart as Nan Zhan, how could he not suspect.

He did a paternity test, and as expected, the child indeed was his son,

Hearing her talk about her parents’ car accident, it wasn’t hard to deduce, that back then she sold herself to earn money for her mother’s medical expenses.

Yes, he seemed to have misunderstood her, this realization made him inexplicably happy.

He wasn’t clear what his purpose was in keeping her by his side, perhaps it was just because of his son. The sudden emergence of his own flesh and blood was somewhat shocking, but the familial bond and blood connection, after the shock, came the joy.

Having lacked parental love since childhood, he couldn’t wait to compensate for that missing affection with his son.

Nan Zhan poured himself a glass of wine, his throat, long unacquainted with alcohol, felt a bit spicy,

Nan Zhan sighed, the wine from Gu Qili’s winery was really quite good.

After drinking half a glass of wine, Nan Zhan slowly put down his wine glass and took out his phone to call Hong Yuan.

"Rent a house for me in the old city area near the church, yes, this one we can let go now."

Jian Si stood at the door of the newly rented house, watching several big men moving all her belongings in, each carrying a diligent smile.

She found it incredibly unbelievable, not knowing what Zhengzheng had told these people, that they willingly broke a sweat for her without expecting any payment.

Jian Si looked at Zhengzheng who was organizing her things, curiously asking: "Zhengzheng, how did you find these people?"

It was truly shocking!
