give me years of peace

Chapter 121 Don't pretend to be a good person
The old man sighed deeply, and said after a long time: "He was also a vigorous, shrewd and capable person in the mall back then."

"You...know my father?" Du Anran was slightly surprised, she couldn't figure out what Xie Chenjin meant for her to come over more and more.Is it a coincidence, or an arrangement?
"I know each other, we have met a few times." The old man did not hide anything from Du Anran, "I also lost to him in several big projects in London back then. He was really a hero from a young age, and the whole shopping mall was amazed. , Shihe Group is talked about by everyone."

"Father passed away early..." Du Anran felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he mentioned this, "If he was still alive, Shihe would not have fallen to this level..."

She failed everyone's expectations, and she ruined all the family business her father built from scratch.She really couldn't forgive herself...

"Fate..." The old man shook his head.

Du Anran asked: "Old man, are you my father's friend?"

"No." The old man said, "He and I are enemies, enemies in the mall. Think about it, several of my big projects have been defeated by him, can I be friends with him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man himself laughed first: "But now that I think about it, any project, any interest, and the things that were fought for at the beginning are all worthless."

"You...how do you know that I am Du Yuanheng's daughter?" Du Anran was puzzled.

"Someone called and said that a lady surnamed Du would come to visit me today, and said that she was the woman next to Zimo. When I saw you today, sure enough, you look like your father. I guessed it."

"Xin Zimo? Do you know Xin Zimo?"

"Do you know what my last name is?" The old man stood still and looked at her with a smile.

Du Anran shook his head.

The old man smiled and said: "You really don't have any scheming, no wonder you lost to my grandson."

Du Anran was startled, grandson?She took two steps back and looked at the old man again. This time, she saw something in the old man's eyes and Xin Zimo's eyes, as well as the similar eyebrows.

"You said you have two grandsons..." Du Anran thought for a while, one of the old man's grandsons went to sea and failed to come back, so the other is Xin Zimo, the grandson who hated him.

"Yes, Zimo is the grandson who has hated me for more than 20 years." After the old man told all this, he felt a lot relieved.

Du Anran was shocked. She had never heard Xin Zimo say this before. It turned out that she really didn't know anything about Xin Zimo.He has never expressed his heart to her, and they are still wary of each other at all.

"I, I've never heard anyone mention it..." Du Anran was a little incoherent. This news really surprised her.

"Zimo has cut off all contact with me a long time ago. It's normal if you don't know. He will always take revenge when he hates someone, even if I am his grandfather."

No wonder, he said he didn't like London, he didn't want to come to London, there was such a reason.

It was Du Anran's turn to be silent, it was a big game and a joke.She had no intention of knowing Xin Zimo's secret, but Xie Chenjin obviously let her know on purpose.

"He knew that my old age was miserable, so even when he came to London, he never looked at me again. His younger brother had an accident on the voyage this year, and he didn't call back." The old man's face was full of sadness.

"In any case, you are his grandfather, and it would be unreasonable for him to do so." Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was cold and ruthless, but never thought that he would be so ruthless. Thinking of this, she didn't know her own Will the end be miserable?

"His personality is nothing like his father's." The old man sighed. "So, I was quite surprised that he kept you by his side and even brought you to London. It stands to reason that he is very interested in your Du family's family." I'm afraid the hatred is no less than that of an old man like me."

"Actually, there's nothing surprising about it. It's another way of revenge for him to keep me by his side."

The old man held Du Anran's hand: "If you don't want to be by his side, then leave him."

When the old man heard Du Anran admit that she was Du Yuanheng's daughter, he had a hunch that Xin Zimo approached Du Anran without so much kindness.

"Leave... If I could leave, I would have left long ago..."

"If there is anything that can help you, you can come to me." The old man sighed, "But even so, I still want to see him. For so many years, I have only seen him in newspapers and on TV. It has been more than 20 years , he has really changed from a five or six-year-old boy to today's young talent and business elite."

"He really hasn't come to see you once?" Du Anran really didn't know that Xin Zimo could be so unfeeling, how could she entrust her life to a man who could give up his family.

The old man didn't speak again, but Du Anran also guessed that he never came here once. More than 20 years...

"Girl, come walk with me. It's been a long time since anyone has talked so much with me." The old man pointed to a wide road ahead.

The front is connected to the Laidu Garden, and there are tall birch trees on the side of the road. Although the leaves have all fallen, leaving only bare trunks, there is a sense of vastness and openness.

"Well, I'll accompany you for a walk." Du Anran supported the old man, and walked together on this wide road.

There are no cars on the road, and there are no pedestrians. You can breathe the fresh air freely. The sun shines on the ground through the branches, and there is a careless tranquility everywhere.

Du Anran likes this kind of world, and she also hopes to live in this kind of world forever, without disputes or intrigues, only her own heart beating.

Freedom is everywhere.

That day, Du Anran had been eating dinner in the garden of the old man before going back. In the morning, the little boy's family also came to visit the old man.The old man is very happy. It seems that he is very eager for such family happiness.

It was nearly nine o'clock when Du Anran returned to the Strait Villa. She thought that Xin Zimo hadn't come back, but she didn't expect that he was already sitting on the sofa.

Seeing his dark face, she didn't dare to say hello, so she changed her slippers and was about to go upstairs.

"Where did you go?" Xin Zimo spoke first, his voice was so cold that Du Anran couldn't help shivering.

"I didn't go anywhere, just to see some old friends." Du Anran lowered his head and prepared to go upstairs again.

"You are lying now without even blinking your eyes."

With a "bang", Xin Zimo put the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.

"Wherever I go is my freedom." Du Anran didn't want to pay attention to him.

"I hate people who lie to me." Xin Zimo said coldly.

Du Anran scolded him for being "self-righteous" in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, but he ignored him.

"The scenery of Laidu Garden is beautiful, isn't it?" Xin Zimo said lightly, but his eyes were fixed on her face, watching her every move.

"You followed me!" Du An was furious, "Despicable!"

What a despicable villain, shameless to the extreme.

"Anyway, it's not the first day you called me mean, it doesn't matter one more time." Xin Zimo stood up and walked in front of her.

If he didn't care about her safety, how could he send someone to watch her and protect her.She didn't know how many people were threatening him with her, she was his weakness.

But she didn't know, and he wouldn't let her know.

"Why are you following me?" Du An was furious.

"I'm afraid you'll be with other men." Xin Zimo stood in front of her, "I'm afraid I'll be jealous."

"You!" Du Anran really didn't know that this man could be so shameless before, but she was speechless.

"It turns out that you are indeed with a man, a man I hate." Xin Zimo slid his hand across Du Anran's face.

"He is your grandfather, there is an unbroken blood and family relationship between you, do you understand? Of course, how could a cold-blooded person like you understand. You don't know what love is at all." After she finished speaking, she continued I remembered myself.

"It seems that he has brainwashed you? If you see him again next time, tell him not to pretend to be a good person. Of course, I will not give you a chance to see him again. As for who asked you to meet him today, I will also investigate clearly." Xin Zimo looked into her eyes and said solemnly, of course there are still some things in the eyes that Du Anran will never understand.

"You are really cold-blooded and ruthless, worse than a beast!" Du Anran shook off his hand and cursed coldly.

Xin Zimo grabbed her hand with his backhand, and pulled her back to the original place. When he met her eyes, there was a chill in his eyes: "You really want to see what a beast is?" How about?"

He gritted his teeth, and tightly wrapped his right hand around her waist. When a strong and dangerous masculine breath floated on Du Anran's face, she trembled all over.

"Let go of me, villain, beast!" Du Anran still couldn't help scolding him, when she remembered that his grandfather was already a gray-haired man, and he treated him so coldly, she really felt that he was inferior to a beast.

He approached her face, and Du Anran could already smell his unique masculine breath, thick and deep.

But this time he just whispered in her ear: "I'm not in the mood today, next time you won't be so lucky!"

He let go of her hand, and Du Anran fled quickly with relief.

When she walked upstairs, Du Anran looked back downstairs. He was standing there, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but could only see his back, tall and tall, with a white shirt, a little desolate.

As soon as Du Anran entered the door, she locked herself in the room. It was not her fault to see the old gentleman, not to mention how unfeeling he was to her own grandfather, he was not afraid of thunder.

When she saw the old man today, she felt that the old man was a very good person. Although he and his father were once rivals, he admired his father very much.

Du Anran thought, at the old man's age, he has survived many storms, so why not look away.

Therefore, no matter what, Xin Zimo couldn't stop seeing the old man for 20 years. Even now in London, he still looks lukewarm.

Du Anran was really sad for the old man, his evening scene was bleak.She still thought about whether to discuss with Xin Zimo and meet the old gentleman when she came back today, but now that she saw it, there was no room for Xin Zimo to discuss it.

Du An couldn't help being angry, but this was a family matter, and she didn't need to get involved.She just felt sorry for the old gentleman...

That night, she secretly booked a plane ticket to fly to China.The reservation was for the night after tomorrow, and she wanted to find a chance to go back to China, at least that way she wouldn't have to face Xin Zimo alone every day.

It will be New Years in ten days, and she is homesick.

After being tired all day and being taught a lesson by Xin Zimo, Du Anran lay down on the bed and fell asleep after taking a shower.

There was no nightmare at night, but in the middle of the night, she dreamed of Xin Zimo.
