give me years of peace

Chapter 126 Uneasy Heart
Du Anran got up early the next day, and he didn't know where the butler found the Christmas tree. It was covered with lights and placed at the entrance of the hall. It looked very beautiful.

With something on her mind, she looked around, but she didn't see Xin Zimo.

The housekeeper happened to come over: "Good morning, Miss Du, should we have breakfast in the lobby or go to the rooftop?"

"Morning butler, I'll be here, I'll just eat something. By the way, where is Mr. Xin?" Du Anran looked around.

"I heard from Old Chen that Mr. Xin went out at four or five o'clock. It seems that there is something important to discuss." The housekeeper said, "Mr. Xin is really busy, and I don't have time to rest today on Christmas Eve."

"Four or five o'clock? It's so early..." Du Anran was a little surprised. She couldn't guess what Xin Zimo was busy with recently. It stands to reason that the meeting had ended long ago.

"I'll get Miss Du breakfast." The housekeeper went to the kitchen after finishing speaking.

Du Anran stood alone in the brightly lit hall, his heart was actually empty.It stands to reason that if he is not here, she will have a better chance to go to the airport to return home. She should be very happy...

When the butler brought breakfast, Du Anran was sitting alone at the table. The butler didn't know what Du Anran was thinking, but she seemed to be in a low mood with her head down.

"Miss Du, Mr. Xin asked me to pick out a Christmas tree today. He also said that he would come back to spend Christmas Eve with Miss Du."

"Really?" Du Anran was a little surprised. She didn't expect Xin Zimo to have such an idea. In her eyes, he was not a romantic person.

"Hurry up and have breakfast!" The housekeeper put milk, sandwiches, and cakes in front of Du Anran.

But Du Anran still chose to leave, without her on Christmas Eve, and Chi Xue...he may not be lonely in London.

At around nine o'clock, Du Anran left the villa with the backpack she had prepared long ago. Before leaving, she just told the butler to go out, and the butler didn't doubt it.

She knew that Xin Zimo had sent someone to follow her, so she went to a large shopping mall first.The square is very lively, full of beautiful decorations and bright lights.

Christmas trees stood in the square, and Du Anran lowered his head and hurried through the crowd.

When she arrived at the clothes counter on the first floor, Du Anran pretended to try on clothes and entered the dressing room, but she sneaked from one store to another while everyone was not paying attention, and finally left the square smoothly.

She was sure that she had thrown away all those who followed her, but her heart was still uneasy, and she didn't know where the uneasiness came from.

She hailed a taxi and got on it. The car drove towards the airport non-stop.

Du Anran knew it was still early, there were still eight hours before the plane took off.

She called Xie Chenjin: "Where are you?"

"Where can I be, of course it is in the Xie family."

"Have you heard what I told you last time?"

"Yes, very good, thank you."

Du Anran knew that Xie Chenjin, like Xin Zimo, seldom praised others, and his mouth was very hurtful.But he didn't hesitate to praise her this time, it seems that the thing really helped him.

"What do you think will happen to me if he finds out one day?" Du Anran looked out the window, feeling sad.

"There won't be such a day." Xie Chenjin seemed to have a plan in mind, he solemnly said to Du Anran.

"There is a saying that is good, if you men can believe what you say, sows can also climb trees."

"You don't have to trust Xin Zimo, but you shouldn't trust me, Xie Chenjin. We've been working together for a while. Have I ever lied to you?"

"Speaking of this, I just remembered, last time you made an excuse to let me go to Grandpa Xin Zimo, what was your intention?" Du Anran frowned.

"What kind of intentions, it seems that my motives are not pure." Xie Chenjin smiled leisurely, "I just want you to understand that Xin Zimo will never be able to open his heart to you, even if he has a grandpa, he will won't tell you."

"Are you trying to make me sad? To be honest, I'm used to it. I'm not someone like him. There's no need for him to talk to me. "

"If you really think that way, I'll be relieved. I'm afraid that if a certain man says something nice to you and gives you some gifts, you will be so happy that you will get carried away."

"If I get carried away, I won't call you on Christmas Eve today."

"Today's Christmas Eve?" Xie Chenjin obviously forgot, "Then... Happy Christmas Eve, be safe and sound."

"Let's have fun together." Du Anran leaned on the seat cushion of the taxi, a little tired.Can't tell if it's physical or mental.

"Why did you call me? Missed me?" Xie Chenjin joked.

"What do you have to think about? I know there are as many women around you as Xin Zimo." Du Anran didn't have the strength to joke, she was very tired.

"When did you see a woman beside me? Last time I brought you back, you saw it too. Where I live, there is no woman with a single hair." Xie Chenjin was very angry and complained.

Du Anran had long forgotten about living in Xie Chenjin's place. After he mentioned it, she curled her lips: "I won't argue with you, I'm going back to China today."

"Go back to China? Alone?" Xie Chenjin heard the clue, and also noticed the tiredness in her voice.

"Well, alone. Air ticket at ten o'clock in the evening."

"It just so happens that I will pick you up early tomorrow morning." Xie Chenjin calculated the time.

"No, I'll go back by myself. I just want to ask you out for a chat, the sooner the better."

Xie Chenjin frowned: "Are you in trouble?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back to China! I just want to ask when are you free?"

"I'll call you." Xie Chenjin said, a little disappointed in his tone.

"Okay... I'll wait for your call."

"Wait." Just when Du Anran was about to hang up the phone, Xie Chenjin said suddenly, "Do you regret working with me?"

Du Anran was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, but after a while he smiled: "After Shihe went bankrupt, I learned one thing. I don't regret what I do. Because whether they are right or wrong, they are all made by myself. choose."

Xie Chenjin on the other end of the phone was also silent for a moment, and after a long time, he smiled slightly and said, "I saw the right person."

"Then I'll hang up first. Goodbye. Happy Christmas Eve."

Xie Chenjin was sitting in the office, he didn't react until Du Anran's cell phone had been hung up for a long time.His slender fingers tapped the clean surface of the desk, as if he was thinking about something.

After thinking about it, it seems that nothing has been figured out.He actually laughed, laughing stupidly alone in this office.Until his cell phone rang again.

When Du Anran was rushing to the airport, he was restless, always feeling that something was going to happen, would Xin Zimo find out?She hides it well, he's not that smart...

But what could happen?Her heart was biting and crawling like little ants, with the slightest pain in her heart.

This feeling has not been felt in a long time, and there is worry in the pain.

When the taxi stopped outside the airport, the driver made an "OK" gesture to her, and Du Anran came back to his senses.

There were people coming and going at the airport. Although it was Christmas Eve today, the number of people at the airport was no less than usual.Christmas trees were also placed around the airport, exuding a joyous atmosphere everywhere.

On the other side of London, on the sixth floor of No.80, a skyscraper, floor-to-ceiling glass reflects the glare of the winter sun.

The image of people can be reflected on the floor of the spotless hall. A group of shopping mall elite executives in custom-made suits are communicating in English, and there is not a trace of noise in the surroundings.

Xin Zimo was also among them. He spoke fluent English, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning in thought.

Everyone also nodded. After more than two hours, some things were finally settled. Xin Zimo finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the 86th floor with all the executives with a smile.

"Mr. Xin, I will send someone to accompany you to collect the information later. These are the actuarial calculations made by the world's top banking elites. Since we are already partners, I will not have any reservations."

In the extended Lincoln car, a Chinese man with a benevolent face said to Xin Zimo.He looks to be in his 50s or [-]s, and when talking about these projects, he repeatedly praised Xin Zimo for his wit and scheming.

"Boss Huang, are these materials unique?" Xin Zimo asked with a calm expression on his face.

"Affirmative." Mr. Huang said with certainty, "In the information, these elites also made estimates on China's banking market, and formulated a set of detailed plans. With these information, at least you can make money in the financial market of City A." stand."

"Opening up the financial market in City A is an important step I will take next year, Mr. Huang, I hope you will take care of me in many aspects in the future."

"You're welcome."

The car drove forward, and Mr. Huang sent Xin Zimo to a secret office and left.A special person came to meet Xin Zimo, and Lao Chen also brought his bodyguards.

The secret office was a little dark and quiet, and the smell of yellowed paper could be smelled everywhere.In the empty and winding corridor, only the sound of a few people walking in leather shoes can be heard.

There are high-tech password doors everywhere, and when they came to a door, several people from the security office stopped.

"Mr. Xin, all the information Mr. Huang gave you is in it. We need your fingerprints to enter."

"Ah."

Xin Zimo pressed his finger on the fingerprint input device at the door, and the people in the security office nodded.

What followed was a series of clacking and clattering sounds on the keyboard, which was particularly harsh in this empty place.After one of them connected the small notebook to the input device at the door, it took a long time before the door slowly opened.

"Mr. Xin, I kept you waiting for a long time. They are all top-notch materials in the world, so I hope you will forgive me." The staff from the confidential office led Xin Zimo into the gate.

Unexpectedly, this is only the first level, and there is nothing special in the room after opening.

Only then did the people from the secret office lead Xin Zimo to turn a corner and enter the secret room on the second floor.

There was no light in the secret room, and it was dark.

"Mr. Xin, in order to prevent damage to the data caused by the light, we can only use this small flashlight." The person in the security office turned on a flashlight made of special materials.

Only then did Xin Zimo feel a little bit used to it, and looked at the secret room carefully. I have to say that the secrecy work here is very good.
