Shen Zhan held the tissue and threw it into the trash can next to him. As soon as he threw it in, he heard Xie Shizhu continue: "Brother, I am pregnant with your child..."
"... Before we received the certificate, we went through various physical examinations to prove our blood relationship. You and I are not half-brothers," Shen Zhan said in a very calm tone, "Don't think too much."
Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment, a hint of melancholy flashed across her face, and she whispered softly: "It seems that my mommy still has lingering feelings for your dad."
Shen Zhan felt a little strange in his heart, and he could probably guess the reason why Zhang Ya asked Xie Shizhu to marry him.
I just want to get closer to my father.
But his father had already given up on this relationship and didn't know about it.
Shen Zhan raised his arm, stretched out his hand and touched her head gently, and said softly: "Don't tell anyone else about this, as long as the two of us know."
Xie Shizhu was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

"The child is gone a long time ago," Zhang Ya said, sighing and looking a little pale.
"Then Xie Shizhu is the son of you and Xie Jiande," my uncle thought for a while and said, "I remember Xiaozhu's husband's surname is Shen..."
The uncle suddenly discovered the important point, and his eyes flashed with surprise, "Zhang Ya, are you afraid you are crazy? Let Xiaozhu marry Shen Zhizhou's son?"
Zhang Ya lowered her head and pinched her fingers, her eyes full of reluctance, "Anyway, they are living a good life. Shen Zhan is a good boy. I can give Xiaozhu a good life. It's not like I did anything bad."
The uncle looked at Zhang Ya for a long time. Zhang Ya was gentle and elegant on the outside, but quite rebellious on the inside.
Originally, he thought that Zhang Ya would marry the person designated by Zhang Tianhe safely, but instead she married a poor boy and directly severed ties with the Zhang family.
Perhaps, Zhang Ya's children also inherited her personality.
It’s also not a worry.
"Well, don't let the two children know about this kind of thing."
Zhang Ya smiled softly, "They won't know."

In the evening, the three people came out of Zhang's house, and Shen Zhan drove Zhang Ya back first.
On the road, Xie Shizhu sat in the passenger seat and looked at Zhang Ya through the rearview mirror from time to time.
I was caught red-handed by Zhang Ya several times.
Zhang Ya asked: "Why do you kid keep looking at me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhan glanced at Xie Shizhu and used his eyes to signal her not to reveal her secrets.
Xie Shizhu pretended to be indifferent and said: "It's nothing."
Zhang Ya frowned slightly, "At the end of this month, you and Shen Zhan will make up for the wedding, and I will arrange the location. You can take care of yourself in peace."
Xie Shizhu said "oh" lazily.
Zhang Ya didn't say anything else. She lowered her head, found her cell phone, and sent a message to Shen Zhizhou on the pretext of discussing the wedding of her two children.
Although more than twenty years have passed, she has never let go of the relationship between her and Shen Zhizhou.
And the aborted child was also the pain in her heart.
Shen Zhan stopped the car, Zhang Ya opened the door and gave a few instructions before leaving the sight of the two of them.
As soon as she left, Xie Shizhu couldn't hold it in any longer. She said, "I never imagined that a strong woman like my mom could not let go of a relationship. Isn't she just a man?"
Shen Zhan: "..."
Xie Shizhu continued to chatter: "I am very open-minded. There is no shortage of men in the world. Besides, you can live without men, so why should you hang yourself from a tree?"
Shen Zhan: "..."
Shen Zhan's face suddenly darkened, and he drove the car onto the road, staring deeply at the road ahead.
Xie Shizhu closed his mouth and turned to look at Shen Zhan. He could only see the side of his face, with prominent brows and thin lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
He seems to be in a bad mood.
Xie Shizhu sneered and said, "Shen Zhan, what do you think of me? Do you think I'm wrong?"
Shen Zhan tightened his long fingers on the steering wheel and remained silent for a few seconds under Xie Shizhu's gaze, "No."
Xie Shizhu's face looked a little better now. He folded his arms across his chest, leaned on the leather seat, and crossed his long legs leisurely.
When he got home, Xie Shizhu took a shower and lay on the bed.
She has to attend a lawsuit tomorrow and needs to refresh herself.
After a while, Shen Zhan lay down next to her, and as usual, he put his arm around her waist and held her whole body in his arms.
Xie Shizhu opened her big black and white eyes in the darkness and felt Shen Zhan's increasingly erratic breathing. She was quiet for a long time and asked, "Do you feel hot?"
Shen Zhan: "...a little bit."
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu quickly took off his pajamas, put his naked body against the man's chest, and said, "Honey, let's cool down together."
System: [I can’t see it!]
Shen Zhan slowly sat up, reached for the remote control next to him, lowered the temperature in the room, lay down again, hugged her, and whispered: "Okay, it's cool now, go to sleep."
Xie Shizhu: "..."
*
The next day, Xie Shizhu went to the court, and this time she was still sitting in the auditorium.
Zhou Shuyan, who previously belonged to the defendant, has now been replaced by Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi couldn't afford a lawyer at all, so she could only use the money given by Xie Jiande to hire a decent lawyer.
When the other party heard that the plaintiff's lawyer was Shen Zhan, he was frightened and quickly refused.
It was Yang Zhi who spent three times the money to get the other party to help him with the lawsuit.
When Yang Zhi stood in front of the defendant, a chill ran down her spine. Especially when she saw Shen Zhan's indifferent expression, her heart was racing.
Xie Shizhu sat on the chair and glanced slowly at Yang Zhi's face, and then stopped at Shen Zhan. When the other person looked at him, Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows and mouthed: "Hubby, come on!"
Shen Zhan's originally cold eyebrows turned into a smile.
After a while, Lin Wen came in from outside. She came because Yang Zhi asked her to come over and said that she could win the lawsuit.
Although she didn't know how Yang Zhi had the courage to confront Xie Shizhu, how could she miss Xie Shizhu's deflated appearance.
After she sat down, she looked at Shen Zhan tenderly, as if Shen Zhan was the only one left in her eyes.
Lin Wen believed that Xie Shizhu would be able to divorce Shen Zhan soon. After all, no one could stand Xie Shizhu's temper.
After the court session, Xie Shizhu sat on a chair, squinting his eyes and feeling the urge to sleep.
Shen Zhan looked at her from time to time, and was a little absent-minded during the lawsuit.
This made the other party's lawyer very surprised. Lawyer Shen, who was always cautious in court, was acting strangely.
However, even so, Shen Zhan still won the lawsuit.
Although Yang Zhi was prepared to fail, when she heard the verdict was announced, she still turned pale and couldn't accept it.
Because she violated the contract and did the most taboo thing in the workplace, she will face a lot of compensation.
Lin Wen sat in the auditorium and frowned slightly when she heard the verdict was announced.
I thought to myself, where is the promised victory?
But she didn't care too much, after all, it had nothing to do with her.
When Lin Wen stood up and wanted to take the initiative to talk to Shen Zhan, Yang Zhi, who had lowered his head sadly, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Wen in the auditorium, with a bit of hatred in his eyes, and mustered up the courage to say: "I want to appeal!"
Lin Wen noticed Yang Zhi's gaze and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, Yang Zhi looked at the judge and said in a particularly firm voice: "I can't accomplish this alone. Lin Wen was behind my instructions, so I can't be responsible for all this alone. "
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the court was a little surprised.
Lin Wen's face suddenly darkened and she stared at Yang Zhi.
Xie Shizhu, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up when he heard Yang Zhi's voice. He immediately opened his eyelids and sat up straight.
The system exclaimed: [Host, you are right, they really started to bite.]
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows: "This is just the beginning, the excitement is yet to come."
The judge knocked on the table and said, "An appeal can be filed within fifteen days after the judgment is delivered."
Hearing this, Yang Zhi raised his chin, stared at Lin Wen, and said coldly: "Okay."
Lin Wen's face was full of astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that Yang Zhi dared to stand up and fall out with her, and stared at Yang Zhi blankly.
After it was over, Shen Zhan walked to Xie Shizhu unhurriedly, stretched out a hand and pulled her up from the chair.
Xie Shizhu rubbed his eyes, yawned sleepily, and said, "Is it over? Then send me back, I want to sleep."
Shen Zhan nodded: "Okay."
After leaving the court, the two people came down the steps. Lin Wen quickly ran in front of the two people and blocked them.
Lin Wen didn't care about anything else and said hurriedly: "Lawyer Shen, are you free recently? I need your help here."
Shen Zhan tightened his fingers around Xie Shizhu's waist slightly, glanced at her, and said calmly: "Well, you contact my assistant first."
Lin Wen's expression froze because Shen Zhan had helped her fight a lawsuit before and there was no assistant at all. What she needed was Shen Zhan to take over, not an assistant.
What else she wanted to say, Xie Shizhu stretched, pushed Shen Zhan away, and walked to the car alone. When she opened the car door, Shen Zhan was already beside her.
Xie Shizhu glanced at him sideways, bent down and sat on him.
Shen Zhan closed the car door for her, walked around to the driver's seat, and quickly drove away from here.
Lin Wen looked at the rear of the car getting further and further away, a little irritation flashing across her face.
Because as soon as Shen Zhan saw Xie Shizhu opening the car door, he left him and didn't reply to her at all.
Xie Shizhu did agree to her and dropped the lawsuit, thus avoiding her being placed in the defendant's position.
She is the daughter of the Lin Group. If a scandal occurs, it will definitely cause some bad negative news for the company.
Although Xie Shizhu has been withdrawn, there is now an additional poplar branch.
Yang Zhi is a person with no background, but the evidence she has in hand can still cause some harm to her.
She had to find something to protect herself.
Thinking of this, Lin Wen took action. She made several phone calls and asked people to investigate Yang Zhi carefully.
*
Xie Shizhu was sent back by Shen Zhan. She threw herself on the bed and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already evening.
The sun outside has set, replacing it with darkness.
Xie Shizhu opened her eyelids. She had a headache from sleeping and slowly sat up straight.
She subconsciously shouted: "Shen Zhan?"
But all she heard in response was the nanny's voice.
"Mr. Xie, Lawyer Shen is out." The nanny stood at the door of the bedroom, speaking in a very cautious voice.
After she found out that Mr. Xie was pregnant, she didn't dare to make any big moves because she was afraid of disturbing Mr. Xie.
"What?" Xie Shizhu came out of the bedroom angrily, his face terribly dark, "When did he go out?"
The nanny was startled by her, swallowed her saliva, and whispered: "She has already gone out in the afternoon."
After finishing speaking, Xie Shizhu clenched his fists and said fiercely without any boundaries: "Shen Zhan, how dare you rape me!"
System: [...You are making something out of nothing!]
