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

Chapter 871

Uncle Zhou?

The three words that Nannan whispered startled me.

The first person I thought of was Zhou Hanzhi.

Did Zhou Hanzhi trick Nannan away at the banquet? And then poisoned Nannan? And then used Nannan's poisoning to seduce and force me to follow him and leave the engagement party?

Otherwise, how could he know that Nannan was poisoned without even seeing her, and claim that the hospital could not cure Nannan's condition and only he could help.

"Uncle Zhou? Which Uncle Zhou?" I unconsciously grabbed Nannan's hand and asked anxiously, "Is it Uncle Zhou, Xuxu's boss?"

Yes, I instinctively denied the guess just now.

Based on my understanding of Zhou Hanzhi, he would not do such a despicable and shameless thing. At least he would not exploit and hurt a child.

And Nannan is still his...

He has always been very nice to Nannan. I can feel that he likes Nannan very much and he will not hurt Nannan for his own selfish desires.

It couldn’t be him, maybe it was another Uncle Zhou.

Sure enough, Nannan looked up, her clear eyes looked at me, and she shook her head: "It's not Xuxu's boss, Uncle Zhou, it's the Uncle Zhou I mentioned to you before."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew it couldn't be Zhou Hanzhi, and it couldn't be Zhou Hanzhi. Even if Zhou Hanzhi wanted to use Nannan's poisoning to seduce and threaten me to go with him, the timing of these events didn't match up.

Zhou Hanzhi arrived at Tongxin Island after Nannan disappeared, and Nannan was found shortly afterwards. Zhou Hanzhi had a motive for committing the crime, but not the time.

It must be another Uncle Zhou.

And I already guessed who that person was.

There will be no one else except that person!

He had both the motive and the time to commit the crime.

I just didn't expect that person to be so scheming.

"Is that Uncle Zhou called Zhou Pinzhi?" I continued to ask Nannan, "Does he look a lot like Xuxu's boss, Uncle Zhou?"

My fingertips have begun to tremble uncontrollably, because I know that even without Nannan's affirmative answer, my guess is true.

Zhou hired him.

It must be him.

He has been staying by my side for so long, and has been friends with Nannan for a long time.

I was so cautious and thought I was thorough enough, but I didn't expect that my actions were actually under the control and surveillance of the other party.

I was so careless!

"No! He is too ugly, not as handsome as Uncle Zhou at all. I hate him so much now!" Nannan frowned and said angrily.

But she touched the straw bird in her hand and nodded. "Yes, that man looks a bit like Uncle Zhou. I don't know his name, he just told me to call him Uncle Zhou. He helped me pick up the ball that fell outside and gave me a marshmallow. He said he liked me very much and wanted to be friends with me. The marshmallow was not too sweet, I liked it very much. He also played with me, so I became good friends with him."

It turned out to be Zhou Pinzhi!

He was so cunning that he approached Nannan, taking advantage of her innocence and need for a playmate, and actually got close to Nannan in the first sanatorium!

"But he told me not to tell you about his affairs, otherwise you would not let me be friends with him. So I agreed. He has always been very nice to me, and Nannan has always liked him." Nannan lowered her head and continued.

But she stopped moving her hands: "But he lied to me, Xuxu, he lied to me."

Nannan's eyes turned red again, tears quickly gathered in her eye sockets, then rolled down in big drops, hitting the back of my hand, burning hot.

My heart aches too. Not only do I feel sorry for my daughter being deceived and hurt, but I also feel regret and self-blame.

I was so careless and I didn't know much about Nannan's situation. If I had investigated more deeply at the beginning, Nannan wouldn't have been poisoned and suffered such serious harm.

I hugged Nannan tightly and heard her continue crying in my ear: "I was originally following Lao Jiao to watch Xuxu and Brother Xiaoye exchange rings, and then I suddenly heard someone calling me. I turned around and found Uncle Zhou. He waved to me, and I was afraid that Lao Jiao would not let me go, so I sneaked through the crowd. He was smiling at me, and then he gave me a drink. I took a sip and found it too sweet and didn't want to drink it. Then he insisted that I drink it, and said it was delicious. I said I didn't like sweet drinks, so he suddenly pinched my nose and forced me to drink... I didn't know anything after I finished drinking."

My heart breaks listening to this.

It’s hard to imagine what my daughter went through at the hands of that devil.

There was poison in the drink. Zhou Pinzhi originally wanted to trick Nannan into drinking it, but Nannan didn't like to drink anything too sweet.

Zhou Pinzhi must have been eager to poison her at that time, so he changed his face and used tough measures to force Nannan to submit.

Nannan was a simple and kind-hearted child. She was completely defenseless when being treated like this and must have been very painful at the time.

This kind of pain comes not only from the body, as one is forced to drink a poisoned drink while having his nose pinched, but also from the shock to the soul.

A good friend who was originally very close and friendly suddenly changed his attitude and hurt himself ruthlessly. This was a very shocking and difficult thing to accept for a two-year-old child.

I held Nannan in my arms, stroking her back with my hands, giving her comfort and warmth: "Don't be afraid, Nannan, it's all over. I will work harder to protect you in the future and won't let you suffer such harm again."

"...Well! Nannan won't cry anymore! Nannan won't cry for this kind of person!" Nannan was in my arms, her body still twitching, but she had become strong.

She wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and held them back, refusing to cry anymore.

This fragile and stubborn look really makes people feel distressed and lovable.

He is worthy of being my child, he has such tenacity in his bones.

I hugged her again, patted her head, and asked in a low voice: "Nannan, can you tell me more about Uncle Zhou?"

Nannan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked her, "Did Uncle Zhou ever ask about your birthday or your relationship with me when he was playing with you?"

It really shocked me that Zhou Pinzhi secretly approached Nannan and hurt her.

But I still have some worries in my heart.

These visible injuries are important, but the invisible things are more important and more terrifying.

I want to know what else Zhou Pinzhi did.

"I asked." Nannan looked a little worried. "Nannan told me everything. Nannan's birthday is Qiu Qiu, Lao Jiao is my father, and you are my sister. Xuxu, shouldn't I tell him this?"

"No, it doesn't matter. Nannan did nothing wrong." I breathed a sigh of relief. What Nannan said were all public news. It didn't matter even if Zhou Pinzhi knew about it.

But I was still worried: "Did he take your hair or cut your nails?"
