give me years of peace

Chapter 130 This Christmas
Both Guozi and Uncle Chen secretly wiped their tears. They watched Du Anran's thin figure standing on the cliff, but there was nothing they could do.

Du Anran was like a butterfly with broken wings, as if he would fall off the cliff at any moment.At first she just stood and cried, but after a long time, she slowly knelt down and covered her face with her fingers, sobbing hard.

Guozi really couldn't bear to see Du Anran so sad again. He remembered that when he saw her for the first time, he thought she didn't like Xin Zimo. Now it seems that many people's appearance and heart can't be consistent. .

"Wipe it!" Guozi handed her a handkerchief.

It was probably because it was dark night that Du Anran cried so recklessly.Does she still love him?Yeah?She didn't dare to examine her heart again, because she was afraid that what her heart told herself was another answer.

She was thinking, weighing, and settling a debt between her and Xin Zimo with reason.But, so what if it's settled?Can she really let him go completely?

She knew that in the past six months, except for a few times when he yelled at her when he was particularly angry, he had always been doting on her almost dotingly, but she had never admitted it.

"Miss Du, the seaside is too cold, let me send you back to the villa!" Guozi was worried about Du Anran's health.

"I won't go back." Du Anran shook his head stubbornly.

She remembered that when she was beaten and hospitalized, he found her the best doctor and the best ward, and took care of her all the time; when she had a stomachache, he sent her to the hospital and guarded her all night... He has actually done a lot for her, but she is used to ignoring it, isn't she?
"If something happens to you, when Zimo comes back, I can't tell if it is..." Guozi wanted to persuade her to leave, after all, the seaside in London is still very cold in winter.

"If he is still in the cold sea, but I go back to enjoy the warmth of the villa, will I still have my heart?" The tears on Du Anran's face have been dried by the sea breeze, and the biting wind blowing on his face is indeed painful It hurts.

Guozi knew that Du Anran was determined not to go back, so he nodded, stood behind her to guard her, and waited for the good news with her.

The sea beat against the coast, and the wind howled.There are still people in the sea who are constantly looking for them, but they keep changing from one place to another, but there is no news.

Christmas carols seemed to be heard in the distance, floating over London like silk threads.

Du Anran sang to the music: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, what a joy to ski tonight, we are sitting on the sled...

Du Anran's voice was very soft and very quiet. It was obviously a cheerful Christmas song, but whether it was Guo Zi or Chen Shu, they all shed tears...

Her voice was like a silver bell, passing through the boundless night.

This night, it was extremely cold.

When it was past midnight, Du Anran was still sitting on the cliff, and Guozi directed the people to search continuously, and even searched the surrounding sea area, but there was still no trace of Xin Zimo.

"Guozi, don't let the country know about his disappearance." Du Anran said softly to Guozi.

"Miss Du, I know." Guozi nodded.

"Miss Du." Uncle Chen came over, holding a few handbags in his hand, "These are the Christmas presents Mr. Xin asked me to buy for you today, open them and have a look."

Du Anran turned around and smiled slightly when he saw the beautiful handbag in Uncle Chen's hand.

Uncle Chen handed her the bag, Du Anran took it, and opened one by one.

There are beautiful candles in the bag, in various shapes, and even a lighter is prepared for her.She placed the candles side by side on the cliff, and lit them one by one.

The flames danced slowly, like dancing elves, changing various dances.

The candle has a delicate fragrance, and she can smell the scent of bergamot, which is very elegant and fresh.

Du Anran opened the other boxes in the handbag. There were colorful candies. Du Anran took a piece and opened it into his mouth. At first it tasted sweet, but the longer he kept it in his mouth, the sweetness disappeared. became bitter.

There are also fun Christmas hats, Santa Claus dolls, reindeer dolls, little bells... all kinds of Christmas gifts that children love to play with.

Du Anran's tears were like a river bursting its embankment. She hugged these puppets, crying uncontrollably.

On the cliff, only Du Anran's crying can be heard, confused and desperate...

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the flame jumped several times before it was almost extinguished.Du Anran protects them, she is afraid that they will go out, they are her only light in this vast dark night.

"Miss Du, it's windy and the seaside is too cold, let's go back! Guo Zi and I are guarding here, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." Uncle Chen tried hard to persuade.

"I'll stay with you, don't try to persuade me anymore." Du Anran's voice was already hoarse from crying, but his tone was firm and decisive.

Both Uncle Chen and Guo Zi shook their heads, helpless.Guozi had no choice but to go to his car and get a coat for Du Anran to put on. In such a cold night, it is easy to catch a cold.

No one expected that Mr. Xin would come after half an hour.

Leaning on a cane, supported by the driver, he walked tremblingly from the car towards the cliff.

The old man was old and could not walk steadily, but everyone present saw the grief-stricken expression on the old man's face.

Guozi didn't expect the old man to come, and he didn't dare to inform the old man.When he was in Xin Zimo's villa a few days ago, he tried to find out what Xin Zimo meant. He knew that Xin Zimo hadn't forgotten the past, and he still refused to forgive the old man. Therefore, he didn't dare to speak rashly to the old man about Xin Zimo. things.

But the old man still came...

One of the pains in this world is that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, and the old man has already experienced the pain of losing his grandson. This time, in the same Haili, he may have lost another grandson of his own.

The old man's hands were shaking, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe the news he heard was true.

"Old man, why are you here..." Uncle Chen opened his mouth first, breaking the silence in the dark night.

"I'll come and see my grandson..." The old man kept walking towards the mouth of the cliff, with a sad tone and tears in the corners of his eyes.

He stood beside Du Anran, raised his eyes and looked into the sea.But this is the ocean at one o'clock in the morning. You can only hear the sound of the rolling waves, but you can't see anything.

Only a vast expanse of black.

The old man's eyes are full of despair. If Xin Zimo is still alive, he is willing to apologize to him. He is willing to bear all the mistakes made more than 20 years ago, even if Zimo scolds him...

"Old man, if you want to cry, you can cry..." Guozi lowered his head and wiped away his tears. He lived not far from the old man. He clearly knew the old man's repentance over the years, but he was powerless to help him to make up for something.

Guozi knew the pain in the old man's heart. His two sons died young, and now his two grandsons also had accidents. How could he not feel sad.

Although older people have experienced many years of right and wrong, and are no longer so easily emotional, but the connection between close relatives and bloodlines is constantly being cut.

Old Mr. Xin was in tears. He stood at the mouth of the cliff leaning on crutches. The bitter sea breeze blew on his wrinkled face, which made him feel cold and painful.

There was silence all around, and it took a long time before they heard the old man's low sobs.

Old Chen's tears, which had been stopped, could no longer be controlled, and poured out again.When Mr. Xin was young, he dominated the shopping malls, turned his hands into clouds, and turned his hands into rain. Everyone would be afraid when they heard his name.He had never been afraid of anyone back then, let alone shed tears.

But no one would have expected that such a man who had spent most of his life in the shopping malls was crying out of grief at this very moment.

"I must have committed too many sins, God will take revenge on me like this..." The old man choked up.

"Old gentleman..." Du Anran cried, "Zimo will definitely come back, definitely will..."

"If he can come back, I will do whatever I want, even if it means taking away my old life..."

"We will all be safe and sound, and everything will be fine..." Du Anran was clearly in pain, but he was still comforting the old man.

"Zimo! Zimo!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came over, interrupting Du Anran's words, everyone turned their heads, it turned out to be Chi Xue...

She also got the news that she couldn't get through to Xin Zimo before. She thought that Xin Zimo didn't want to talk to her. It wasn't until later that she found out that Xin Zimo was missing.

Chi Xue ran towards the mouth of the cliff, calling Xin Zimo's name all the way.

But no one responded to her, her eyes were already red, she walked up to Du Anran, bit her lips tightly, and stared at Du Anran.

"Where's Brother Zimo? You hurt him again, right?" Chi Xue pointed at Du Anran and cursed.Definitely, it must be this woman who killed brother Zimo, this troublemaker, this vixen.

"Miss Chi, don't mess around, it's none of Miss Du's business." Lao Chen came out to defend Du Anran, "No one expected such a thing to happen, if you really want to blame it, blame me, blame me for my negligence."

"Who doesn't know that she hates Brother Zimo!" Chi Xue pointed at Du Anran, "Brother Xin Zimo annexed her world, and she tried every means to harm Brother Zimo. You can only see her weakness on the outside, but I can't see her scorpion-like heart! Today's incident may be planned by her! Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts!"

"Don't slander me!" Du Anran frowned.

"Slander? Alright, I will push you down now, and let you taste the sea water!"

Chi Xue was completely insane. This incident greatly stimulated her, and she subconsciously felt that it was Du Anran who did it.She loves Brother Zimo so much, how could she let other women harm him!

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Du Anran hard.

"Ah!" Du Anran didn't stand firmly on his feet, lost control of his center of gravity, stepped on the ground, and wanted to grab something, but he could only grab a handful of air.
