Extra: Back then (Wen Ran’s parents 5 + Mian & Qiqi met at the beginning)

[This chapter hides a little bit about the first encounter between Mianmian and Qiqi. ]

On the day when he saw Zhou Qixiao again, Zhou Suining could explain to him the unspeakable secret of choosing Zhou Yuzhi in the first place.

Tell her that Zhou Yuzhi did not betray them, and she never abandoned him.

She knew that as long as she told Zhou Qi Xiao that her child had been kidnapped and had to make that choice, Zhou Qi Xiao would definitely be able to forgive her.

But she was silent.

It was also that day that Zhou Suining found out that the Zhou family was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and that Zhou Qixiao's family was not as big as she thought.

The mastermind behind the scenes had already begun to stir up trouble between her and Zhou Qixiao.

If they fail once, there will be another time. No matter how dark the enemy is, they don't know what they will do next time.

So she had a new plan in mind.

A way to separate Zhou Yuzhi, Mianmian and Zhou Qixiao from the cannibal hell of the Zhou family.

On this day, Zhou Qixiao, whose left arm was wrapped in a thick bandage, stopped when he left.

He almost violated his own principles and took the initiative to ask Zhou Sui Ning: "Is there anything that I can't tell you?"

Zhou Sui Ning half opened his mouth, and in the end he smiled uglier than crying and shook his head.

Then she saw with her own eyes that Zhou Qixiao's navy blue eyes became increasingly dim.

Finally, he turned around and left decisively.

She knew that they, like a family, had completely broken up.

But she had no choice. She had the blood of the Zhou family in her body and was imprisoned forever.

Zhou Qixiao has a bright future. If he is tied to her again, sooner or later Zhou Que will use her to coerce Zhou Qixiao.

She already felt sorry for Mianmian, and she couldn't let another child in the family be ruined.

After settling the relationship with Zhou Qixiao, Zhou Suining gently hugged Zhou Yuzhi from behind in the dead of night.

Zhou Yuzhi seemed to have guessed Zhou Yuzhi's thoughts. He closed his eyes and begged weakly and humbly: "Ning Ning, I can't do it."

Zhou Yuzhi leaned his face against Zhou Yuzhi's back.

These seven years had exhausted her both physically and mentally.

But at this moment, she seemed to have returned to the only happy and relaxed time when she and Zhou Yuzhi were in China.

She nuzzled his back playfully.

"Brother Yuzhi, I love you and I love Mianmian."

One sentence made Zhou Yuzhi burst into tears.

He turned around and hugged Zhou Suining hard, unable to say anything.

Mianmian has been exposed. If he doesn't take her to hide, Mianmian will definitely be involved in the Zhou family's quagmire.

Zhou Suining asked Zhou Yuzhi to change his appearance and take Mianmian to live in China.

How could Zhou Yuzhi agree?

But when did he refuse Zhou Sui Ning?

That month, news of Zhou Yu's death came to the Zhou family.

From then on, there was no Zhou Yuzhi in the Zhou family.

A year later, Wen Xiangru, who had changed his appearance in a black clinic, appeared in China with his daughter.

Although Zhou Qixiao and Queen Palai had a falling out.

But there is one thing between the two that no one can shake, and that is the ban on growing poppy.

Zhou Qixiao left the Zhou family, cooperated with the Grizzly Bear Army, and lurked into the mercenary group in Nanzhou.

Without Zhou Qixiao's checks and balances, Zhou Que and his adopted sons became more and more powerful in the Northern District of Nanzhou.

Zhou Suining thought that he would never see Zhou Yuzhi in this life.

But she didn't expect that he would later become actor Wen Xiangru and become more and more famous when she saw him on TV.

Although the face was very different from the memory, even though the deer eyes had completely changed.

But every time he finished filming a movie, at the end of the interview, he would look at the screen affectionately.

She said with a smile: "I want to thank my wife most, I love her."

Every time Zhou Suining appeared in front of the camera, she would rub her left temple at the end.

Because she once told him that every time I rub my left temple, it means I miss you.

Two people, separated by two countries, separated by a huge gap.

Saying I love you affectionately.

This is their deepest romance with each other.

Royal pressure is growing, and government forces have a common interest in overturning the law banning poppy cultivation.

There is no hope for Zhou Sui Ning to escape.

The sky in Nanzhou seems to be dark.

But Zhou Suining has a glimmer of hope after the intrigue.

That is Wen Xiangru’s birthday every year.

The so-called birthday was the day when they first met, and he always remembered it in his heart.

As a "movie fan", she could legitimately send him a birthday card.

I can't show too much emotion, so I only have four simple words every time: Happy birthday.

And he will reply to her "politely".

Two simple words: thank you.

There will also be a daily photo of him included.

The most gratifying thing is that I can see Wen Ran's little figure in the background of the photo.

Let her have some comfort.

When Zhou Qixiao was nineteen years old, he had become a famous tenth master in Nanzhou.

Naturally, he would not let go of the Zhou family.

Zhou Que found Zhou Suining, knelt in front of her, and wrapped her up with family affection.

In both public and private matters, Zhou Sui Ning had no choice but to ignore Zhou Que.

In terms of family ties, this is her father who is connected by blood. Zhou Qixiao will never spare his life if she takes action. She cannot ignore him.

In terms of checks and balances of power, she still needs the Zhou family. Otherwise, without the Zhou family behind her, her game with the military government and the royal family will completely collapse.

So that day, she knelt in front of Zhou Qixiao and begged him with all her past feelings.

She knew that she had stabbed Zhou Qixiao again.

The tall boy looked at her condescendingly.

Nowadays, he is relaxed and natural, with the laziness of a superior person all over his body.

He was no longer the taciturn young man who silently supported her.

He half-crouched in front of her, curled his lips, and said sarcastically: "Palai, don't turn into a ghost and cry when you die without a body!"

This was the first time he called her Palai.

Perhaps at this moment, in his heart, there is no more Zhou Sui Ning in the world.

Years of overwork and excessive worry have made Zhou Suining's health worse and worse.

The doctor told her that if she didn't rest, she might not live for ten years.

Zhou Suining stood in front of the window and looked at the spring rain outside, her eyes filled with sadness.

For ten years, she couldn't get away from Nanzhou and the Zhou family.

Maybe she will never have the chance to see her daughter in this life.

But she didn't expect that Wen Xiangru would give her a big surprise.

On the fifth anniversary of Wen Xiangru's debut, to promote his new movie, he overcame all difficulties and applied to come to Nanzhou to hold a fan meeting.

Queen Palai, who claims to be a warm and caring movie fan, can naturally meet in person.

That day, the two refrained from seeing each other, eating and chatting.

Zhou Sui Ning met Wen Ran, who was already twelve years old.

The little girl has beautiful deer eyes, round cheeks, and a smile as sweet as honey.

Palai also kept smiling, but as the Queen of Nanzhou, the most outrageous thing she could do was to gently hug her daughter.

Say a word of blessing to her.

Perhaps this is the closest distance between her and her in this life.

Wen Xiangru also suppressed his emotions, holding Wen Ran's hand and standing politely next to Zhou Suining.

The three of them took a photo together.

A family of three, the only photo together in this life.

Zhou Qixiao leaned lazily in the aisle of the cinema, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

He turned his head and looked at the terrifying left arm.

Although the injury has healed, the skin is still uneven.

Although scar removal was done, the scar was too heavy and the effect was not obvious.

He took a deep breath of cigarette with some irritation.

He doesn't care if a man has scars.

But as long as you see this scar, you will think of the betrayal of Palai and Zhou Yuzhi.

He is not a kind person, but he is determined to retaliate.

But now because of Palai, he can't even move the Zhou family...

It happened that news came from Grizzly Bear, who wanted to help him move the Romanov family.

At night he would fly to grizzly country.

I don’t know why, but I came here by accident.

Realizing that he was acting strangely, he wanted to ask Palai one last time if he had any hidden secrets.

He thought it was ridiculous.

Feeling irritated, Zhou Qixiao blew out a puff of smoke.

The moment he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, he grabbed his pocket with one hand and was about to leave.

Suddenly something felt wrong.

He turned around quickly, and the moment he caught the opponent's neck with his hand, he had already pulled out a gun with his right hand.

She is a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

But in Nanzhou, children are the most dangerous.

Zhou Qixiao did not relax his vigilance at all, and pressed the muzzle of the gun against the other party's forehead.

"Ahem!" Wen Ran raised his hand and tried hard to pry away the other party's big hand.

But the hand seemed to hold her down firmly without any effort.

Her eyes turned red instantly: "Brother, I, I was pushed in by movie fans..."

Zhou Qixiao turned his head and looked at her coldly.

The hand holding the gun squeezed the slender arm twice.

He is not a practicing child. His skin is smooth and his arms are soft. He should be a child raised in a pampered environment.

It's this face that I don't know where I just fell, and it's covered in dirt and dust.

Wen Ran felt her arm suddenly pinched twice by rough fingers. She was so frightened that when she was about to scream, the big hand covered her mouth.

She was so frightened that her eyes were blurred with tears, and she could only cry out for help.

Zhou Qixiao pulled away slightly and took advantage of the dim light of the passage to observe her clothing keenly.

This little white disguise is the little girl who just stood next to Palai for the photo.

Oh, that movie star's daughter.

Realizing that the other party was not a suicide bomb, Zhou Qixiao released his grip on her, pointed at the safety door, and signaled her to leave quickly.

Wen Ran rubbed his neck, glanced at him timidly, turned around, opened the safety door and ran out.

Zhou Qixiao lazily leaned back against the wall, turned his head and saw through the crack in the door that the little girl was surrounded by security guards and left as soon as she went out.

He scoffed.

She is truly a noble little princess.

The moment he propped himself up and pushed the door open, the ground shook.

He subconsciously stepped back to check.

Just by turning around, he skillfully dodged the bullets fired from the dark place.

Zhou Qixiao had quick eyes and quick hands. He hid behind the door and fired back instantly, knocking the opponent to the ground accurately.

His men had already rushed over and subdued the opponent to the ground.

Zhou Qixiao's eyes fell on the bullet stuck in the heavy iron door and he smacked his lips.

In an instant, he took two steps inside and kicked something that had just attracted his attention.

It's a cinnabar bracelet. Judging from the size, it should be the one worn by the little girl just now.

The bracelet fell apart, and when he kicked it, the beads rolled away.

He chuckled lightly, the kid from China was a little lucky star.

If he hadn't been attracted by this thing just now, this shot might have hit him.

Although you can't die, it's still quite troublesome.

It would delay him from going to Grizzly Bear Country to deal with the Romanov family.

He was holding his pocket with one hand, and something suddenly occurred to him.

When he returned, he changed the shape of the self-defense weapon he had designed to wrap around his wrist.

Change it into the style of 108 cinnabar bracelets.

But this was only one of his narrow escapes.

So I didn't take it to heart.

Later, the bloody storm dispersed this small episode in the long river of memory.

After Zhou Qixiao went to Grizzly Bear Country, the conflicts between the adopted sons of the Zhou family became more and more intense.

Due to the intrigue, Zhou Que also lost complete control over the Zhou family.

The road to Palai is getting more and more difficult, especially a year ago when Zhou indeed learned of Mianmian's existence from nowhere.

She was completely manipulated by Zhou Que, and finally betrayed by him, she fell into the hands of the royal family.

In order to force her to repeal the law banning poppy cultivation, she first had her kidneys removed, and later her breasts were removed.

She held on to her broken body without any compromise.

Finally, news came that Zhou Qixiao had returned from Grizzly Bear Country.

Her forces began to build momentum and pressure, and the royal family panicked and released her.

That day when she was lying in the hospital bed, Palai knew she was exhausted.

But she got some great news.

[This part was deleted earlier and has been modified and put here]

In the Candeas Central Hospital in the capital of Nanzhou State under the jurisdiction of government troops.

That day, Zhou Suining's thin cheeks were sunken and full of sickness. After hearing Tia's words, there was a rare trace of panic in his eyes.

"Why did she suddenly come to Nanzhou alone and he didn't accompany her?"

Because Zhou Suining was detained by the royal family, there has been no news about Wen Xiangru for two months.

She originally wanted to go online, but the area had just been bombed and she couldn't connect to the Internet at all. But she didn't expect to get the news that Wen Ran was coming to Nanzhou.

She was happy and worried at the same time, why did brother Yuzhi let Mianmian come to Nanzhou alone?

Could something have happened?

Starting last year, Zhou Zhe didn't know where he learned about Mianmian's existence.

That's why she was controlled by the royal family. Now that the Zhou family called and said Mianmian was coming to Nanzhou, how could she rest assured.

Tia saw her struggling to get up and hurriedly went to help her.

His hands touched her body, which was only skin and bones, and he could hardly maintain his emotions.

"Don't worry! Although we still don't know what the child is doing in Nanzhou, there shouldn't be any security issues with the call the Zhou family made. He said he landed at the Capital Airport, which is very close to here. Why don't you... meet him? "On the other hand."

When the woman heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her eyebrows again. After a while, she raised her head again and shook her head gently.

She looks like this, it will scare her.

Moreover, after her death, her body will be made public.

If the child accidentally saw such a tragic body on TV, he would recognize it.

Even if she was just a passerby, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Tia knew her concerns and her eyes instantly turned red.

"You didn't tell me about that one, I hid it for you. But she arrived soon, maybe it was God's will. Didn't you think you were a fan of that movie and saw her before? You won't be suspicious if you see her again. No. If she sees you, take a peek."
