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

What happened just now has clearly passed, but Shen Hualan’s words made my nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up again.

As expected, she still doubted Nannan's identity.

But in fact, what Shen Hualan said was not wrong. The reason why I tried every means to avoid Nannan and Zhou Hanzhi from meeting each other, and why I was so nervous every time they met, was that Zhou Hanzhi and Nannan did look very similar, which could easily lead to associations and guesses.

Shen Hualan indeed saw through it.

She was still holding on to this topic. Would Zhou Hanzhi listen to her and check Nannan's background? This was not difficult for him, especially since Nannan was in the room on the second floor of the hotel.

I was getting more nervous. Maybe Zhou Hanzhi hadn't realized that he and Nannan looked alike before, but with so many guests talking about it and Shen Hualan's reminder, he would realize it. If he rushed to the second floor and left Nannan's hair, paternity testing would be easy...

"I told you, that's not your granddaughter." Just when I was feeling uneasy and confused, Zhou Hanzhi spoke.

His tone was cold and indifferent, but his tone was very firm: "Don't guess randomly."

Shen Hualan frowned even more tightly: "Han Zhi, how can you be so sure? But that child obviously looks like you. Even if we guessed wrong, we have to verify it, right?"

"I've verified it. The child is not mine." Zhou Hanzhi's tone became more certain, even a little impatient. "There are so many people in the world who look alike but are not related by blood. We all have one nose and two eyes. Isn't it normal to look a little alike? I've already told you just now that your grandchildren can't be left alone because they will only be born from Lin Xixi's belly."

"Have you verified it?" Shen Hualan slowly loosened her grip on Zhou Hanzhi's fingers, her eyes filled with disappointment. "So the child is really not ours?"

Zhou Hanzhi frowned slightly, his dissatisfaction intensified, but his tone became more certain: "Of course not."

Shen Hualan said nothing more, but just lowered her head silently and sighed softly: "I thought, I thought there was hope, but I didn't expect that it would end up in vain..."

My originally tense and panicked heart slowly relaxed, and Zhou Hanzhi's answer was beyond my expectations.

I should have been feeling relaxed and comfortable, but for some reason, while letting go of my worries, an unspeakable pain and sorrow welled up in my heart.

Zhou Hanzhi lied.

He had never verified his relationship with Nannan.

Because if he really did verify it, the answer would definitely be yes.

But he didn't do it because he didn't want to doubt that Nannan was his child, and he didn't want to add such trouble to himself.

Maybe he had done it before, but he was unwilling to admit it. The reason was that he didn't want to add trouble to himself and didn't want the existence of me and Nannan to delay his marriage to Lin Xixi.

That's why he interrupted Shen Hualan's doubts so confidently and told Shen Hualan with certainty that Nannan was definitely not his child, and Shen Hualan's grandson or granddaughter could only be born to Lin Xixi.

Zhou Hanzhi really loves Lin Xixi. He gives all his love to Lin Xixi and all the good things to Lin Xixi. He truly treats Lin Xixi as a little princess and the most important and irreplaceable person.

Although this is a fact that has long been made clear, I still can't help feeling sad at this moment.

"Xuxu, what's wrong with you?" It was not until Jiang Yin beside me asked me softly that I suddenly realized that I had been holding her hand.

At this time, I actually pinched her fingers until they turned red.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ayin, I just now, I..." I reacted and hurriedly rubbed her fingers, but my heart was like a mountain of weeds in autumn, a mess.

It was my fault that I failed to control my emotions, which caused Jiang Yin to suffer. I feel really sorry for it.

Jiang Yin smiled gently: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, you should get ready to go on stage, the ceremony will start soon, I'll go to the bathroom and take care of it."

After saying that, she walked me to the edge of the stage, watched me walk up to the stage, and then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

The banquet officially began. My godmother took my hand and announced that I was her daughter. Old Mrs. Zhang and Old Mr. Zhang also expressed their opinions. Zhang Tingyuan brought the wine to the stage. I took the wine glass and toasted the elders in turn.

The guests seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. They all raised their glasses and congratulated Old Madam Zhang, Mr. Zhang and godmother, and me.

I stood under the lights, looking at the smiling faces in the room, and the uneasiness in my heart slowly subsided.

The controversy over Nannan's background has finally subsided. Zhou Hanzhi, one of the parties involved, has spoken personally. No one should discuss this matter anymore, and there shouldn't be any problems in the future.

The banquet began and I returned to the main table and sat next to my godmother to eat.

In addition to the important family members of the Zhang family, the important guests sat at the main table. But in fact, the guests sitting at the main table were only from the Zhou and Yuan families. Everyone was the host and the guest, and everyone toasted to Old Lady Zhang one by one.

When it was Shen Hualan's turn, she poured a full glass of wine to congratulate Old Madam Zhang: "Old Madam, you are so lucky to have another granddaughter. Xuxu is also a child I have known for many years. She is the most virtuous and sensible one."

"Of course not. This child is sensible and well-behaved. I liked her very much the first time I saw her." Old Mrs. Zhang smiled with her eyes curved, praising me endlessly. "At that time, I was thinking of letting this girl marry into my family. But now it's good too. Anyway, she is a member of our Zhang family, which is good."

It was obvious that Mrs. Zhang was joking. I smiled a little embarrassedly, but at this moment I heard Shen Hualan's words: "Mrs. Zhang, we really think alike. I also want to marry a girl as good as Xuxu. We really..."

"Mrs. Zhou."

Before Shen Hualan finished speaking, two people spoke up.

One of them was the godmother. The smile on her face faded slightly and she looked at Shen Hualan meaningfully.

One is Sister Min. She came with the elder today. She was a little late and hurriedly arrived when the ceremony was about to end. And she and the elder didn’t seem to be in good condition. It looked like they had just had a quarrel and had to attend the ceremony together. They both had unhappy looks on their faces, but the two of them sat at the main table together.

Sister Min is different from her godmother. She has no friendship with Shen Hualan and is not willing to save face for Shen Hualan. At this moment, she turned cold and said dissatisfiedly: "Mrs. Zhou, please be careful with your words. As everyone knows, Xuxu will be my daughter-in-law soon. And your son, who already has a partner, is coming to compete with us for a daughter-in-law. Is this reasonable?"
