She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

I didn't expect that the first person to stand up and deny all this was Zhou Hanzhi.

I was originally worried that Zhou Hanzhi would listen to all those discussions, doubt Nannan's identity, and hurt Nannan because of it. After all, he is now determined to marry Lin Xixi, and if he suddenly has a daughter, it will affect his plans and goals.

But I didn't expect that he would stand up and snatch Nannan from Shen Hualan's hands, and firmly deny all the guests' speculations.

He held the frightened Nannan in his arms and brought her to me. When his dark eyes looked at me, they were as calm as a windless lake, without the slightest ripple: "Nannan said she was tired just now, hurry up and send her upstairs to rest."

"You are still a man. You know how to stand up and tell the truth!" Xiaoye rushed to take Nannan over before me, and then said softly, "Sister, I will take Nannan upstairs first."

It was indeed not suitable for Nannan to stay here any longer. I nodded in agreement, and Xiaoye carried Nannan in his arms, coaxing her as he walked away.

"Stop talking too much!" The godmother glared at Zhang Xiaolu fiercely. Zhang Xiaolu seemed to really know that he was in trouble at this time. He covered his crying face and hid behind the crowd.

My godmother put her arm around my shoulders and said apologetically, "Xuxu, I'm sorry. It's my godmother who has caused you trouble."

How could I blame my godmother? She is my mother, we are one, and we should share the burden of trouble.

"No, I don't believe it. That child must be our Zhou family's!" At this time, Shen Hualan finally reacted and rushed over to grab my hand, "Xuxu, auntie wants to hear you say it. Tell me, is that child Hanzhi's? You lived together for so long, was it at that time..."

She had beautifully done manicures on her fingers, and at this moment her nails were extremely forceful, digging deeply into the back of my hand, and I felt a sharp pain there.

Shen Hualan's eyes were full of anticipation, and I knew what she was expecting.

She was expecting me to give her a positive answer, telling her that Nannan was indeed Zhou Hanzhi's daughter and indeed her granddaughter.

"Mom, stop messing around. I've already answered you just now. Nannan is not your granddaughter, nor is she my daughter, and certainly not Manager Meng's child. She is the adopted child of her aunt and uncle." Shen Hualan was interrupted by Zhou Hanzhi before she could finish her words.

His tone was a little cold, and his handsome face was frowned, with some impatience and dissatisfaction: "Today is a good day for Manager Meng and Madam Zhang Si, and there are so many guests. Don't waste their time here. If you want to have grandchildren, let Xixi give birth to them for you. Don't hold on to Manager Meng. She has a boyfriend."

My originally panicked, uneasy and collapsed heart, at this moment, stopped beating hurriedly and rapidly.

I stared at Zhou Hanzhi, seeing his watery face, the displeasure in his eyes, and his alienation and indifference.

If you want to have grandchildren, let Xixi give birth to them for you.

What this sentence means is that only Lin Xixi can give birth to his child.

Whether it was the wife he was going to marry or the woman he truly loved in his heart, it was Lin Xixi, not me.

Even if we have to give birth to a child, it won't be my turn, it should be Lin Xixi's turn.

He didn't have the slightest doubt about Nannan's identity, not because he firmly believed that Nannan was adopted by her aunt and uncle, but because he didn't want to doubt it.

Even if Nannan was really his, he would not admit it. He would rather Nannan was really the daughter adopted by his aunt and uncle.

My chest felt tight, and the realization that just came to me made me breathless. It also hurt so much that my heart was clenched into a ball. At this moment, I even forgot to follow Zhou Hanzhi's words and make things right.

It was my godmother who silently held my hand. The warmth and softness of her palm eased the pain in my heart a little. She helped me sit down next to Old Lady Zhang, and then looked at the guests who were full of surprise and suspicion with a smile on her face.

"Some people just like to make things up and stir up trouble, but I believe that you are all logical people and can definitely discern the truth. Besides, Master Zhou has already explained it clearly, so everyone should be clearer, right? The little girl just now was adopted by my daughter's aunt and uncle. All the procedures are complete, and she is not an illegitimate daughter."

In fact, when Zhou Hanzhi stood up and spoke, the matter had already been settled.

After all, he is the president of Rongyu and the future leader of the Zhou family. He has a noble status and his words carry great weight. If he denies that Nannan is his daughter, everyone will definitely be willing to believe him.

At this moment, the godmother told the truth again, and someone among the guests immediately echoed: "Yes, the child's background had been exposed once before, and the rumor was officially refuted at that time. It was a formal adoption, with all the procedures, time, place, and witnesses. It is not Miss Meng's child at all."

"Ms. Meng and Mr. Zhou were in love at school. Campus love is pure and beautiful, how could she get pregnant? If she was pregnant at the time, her classmates would definitely know about it. There were no similar rumors before."

"Yes, and the old lady of the Zhou family is a person who values ​​offspring so much. If Miss Meng was pregnant with the Zhou family's child, she would definitely stop the two young people from breaking up. Even if she didn't let Miss Meng in, she would let her granddaughter in. How could she let her own bloodline flow out? So this child is definitely not the bloodline of the Zhou family."

The matter was settled, and godmother immediately asked everyone to sit down.

Old Madam Zhang looked unhappy, and glared at Master Zhang who also looked unhappy: "This is all your fault!"

"Mom, I didn't do this." Mr. Zhang felt a little aggrieved.

Old Madam Zhang continued to glare at him fiercely: "That third child, I didn't allow her to enter the house in the first place. How could she be a good person coming from a place like that? You refused to believe me and insisted on marrying her. Now look at what kind of child she gave birth to? There is a world of difference between the child raised by my Xiaoyu!"

I could hear that Old Lady Zhang was scolding Zhang Xiaolu who had just jumped out to cause trouble, and she was also scolding Madam Zhang San and Master Zhang.

Master Zhang didn't dare to say more, but just said more humbly: "Mom, I have already gone to the back to deal with this matter. Xiaolu and Lao San were both dealt with by me. I promise that nothing will happen next time."

"Your promise had better be true!" Old Lady Zhang glared at him fiercely again, then reached over Jiang Yin and held my hand. "Xuxu, my dear child, it's all your father's fault for bringing such a thing into the family and giving birth to such a worthless girl. You were wronged just now, kid, don't take it to heart."

How could I be angry with Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang?

This matter has nothing to do with them, but with...

"No, grandma." I smiled and looked up, but my eyes were watching Jiang Yin's every move as she sat between me and Grandma Zhang.
