give me years of peace

Chapter 217 Slow Torment
"There is no necessary relationship between fat and thin and having a son." Du Anran muttered in a low voice.

"Then what did you say has something to do with having a son?" Xin Zimo asked back.

"How do I know." Du Anran quickly lowered his head to eat, this topic cannot be discussed any further.

But Xin Zimo didn't let her go, he moved closer to her and smiled shamelessly: "Let me tell you, it has something to do with the level of effort..."

Du Anran felt like a hungry wolf was sitting beside her. She bent her elbow and hit Xin Zimo's abdomen: "Eat your food!"

Xin Zimo gasped, he was really able to do it.He shook his head and smiled, eating helplessly.

Although he still ate as usual and was teased by Xin Zimo, Du Anran's mood today still couldn't pick up.It was as if there was a stone blocked in my heart, and it got heavier and heavier.

It was still raining in the sky, and the rain falling from the sky to the ground could be seen through the window glass of the restaurant.

She also brought food for Xin Zimo from time to time, and she couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable every time she saw the pretended relaxed expression on his face.

Xin Zimo didn't know what she was thinking, but now he was relieved. He remembered that when he was in London, Guozi asked him more than once: "If one day you have to choose between Xin's and Du Anran, How would you choose?"

He made the answer to this multiple-choice question with action, and this will be the only answer.

During the meal, Xin Zimo answered several calls. Du Anran knew that he had been gone for so long and must be very busy now, so he said to him: "Go and do it, I'll eat alone."

"I'll finish eating with you."

His tone was still so overbearing that she couldn't refuse.He silently accompanied her to finish the meal. It was obviously a delicious delicacy, but Du Anran felt a little unwilling to eat it.

"I'll take you to the room to sleep." After Du Anran finished eating, Xin Zimo looked at her and said.

There was an indescribable care and affection in his eyes looking at her, but she dodged and lowered her head.

He picked her up and walked to the lounge, just like that sunny afternoon when he hugged her.

It's just that today is cloudy and drizzle, and the whole sky is dark, which makes Du Anran unable to find a trace of joy.

The lounge was as warm and spacious as ever. After Xin Zimo carried Du Anran onto the big bed, he covered her with a quilt.He knows that sleeping is a good way, and many times, he forgets everything after sleeping.

"Have a good sleep, I'll come to see you when I'm done." Xin Zimo tucked up the quilt for her, then leaned over and pressed a light kiss on her forehead.

She likes the vague smell on his body, which gives her a great sense of security.On a sudden impulse, she reached out and hugged him.

She was afraid, as soon as she let go, he disappeared.She was also afraid that if she fell asleep, she would never see him again when she woke up.

"Don't go..." She yearned for every second he was by her side, an attachment she had never had before.

Xin Zimo smiled, he rarely saw Du Anran like this, but he still let go of her hand: "Come up when I finish my work, I will definitely come."

Du Anran nodded and watched him leave the lounge.

When his figure disappeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, and everything that happened today was still switching before her eyes.

She still kept blaming herself in her heart, she really didn't know who kidnapped her, who wanted the information...

She went through all the people she knew in her mind, those who hated her, those who hated Xin Zimo, countless.

Just as she was staring at the ceiling in a daze, a phone call brought her back to reality.

It turned out to be Sun Ping... She answered the phone with a trembling hand, she had already predicted what Sun Ping was going to say.

Sure enough, but when she picked up the phone, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end, before she said solemnly: "Du Anran, do you know how important that information is to the Xin family?"

"I know... I'm sorry..." How could she not know, she was a witness in London, she knew better than Sun Ping.

"You don't have to tell me you're sorry. You're sorry for Mr. Xin." Sun Ping said, "Think carefully about what I told you a few days ago. What about Mrs. Xin? Want Mr. Xin's life?"

Du Anran knew that Sun Ping was by no means alarmist, her hand holding the phone gradually became cold.

"I can tell you clearly that you are Mr. Xin's weakness. Someone threatened Mr. Xin with you on the board of directors a long time ago. Although those people did not succeed, I just want to tell you how Mr. Xin has ever been hurt. Threats from others?" Sun Ping said, "So, if you want to see Mr. Xin's sincerity, you have seen it all. If you love him too, then leave him."

A tear slipped from the corner of Du Anran's eye and landed on the back of her hand.

"I watched Xin's from starting up to gaining a firm foothold in City A. I don't care about the bitterness. You have also experienced the pain of company bankruptcy. I think you don't want Xin's to lose. Career is harmful to men. I don't need to tell you how important it is. And women..."

"I see." Du Anran interrupted him, she knew what Sun Ping wanted to say.

In ancient times, she was an out-and-out demon concubine, bringing disaster to the country and the people.

"Give me a little more time, and I will definitely take care of everything." Du Anran's heart calmed down.

Her eyes fell on the diamond ring on her hand, the diamond shone with a quiet luster, it was still so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

"I hope to be thorough and neat." Sun Ping said flatly.

Sun Ping hung up the phone, and Du Anran also threw the phone aside.She hugged the quilt and cried slowly.

Meeting the right person at the right time is a kind of happiness; meeting the wrong person at the right time is a kind of sadness; meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is a kind of helplessness.

So, meeting the right person at the wrong time...

And what kind of unrecognizable sadness should it be...

After Chi Xue came out of the monitoring room, she seemed to have lost her soul, and bumped into others several times while walking on the road.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?" A car passed by her and braked suddenly. The driver stuck his head out and cursed.

Chi Xue sneered, and continued walking forward without looking up.

"What an idiot!" Seeing Chi Xue's disdainful look, the driver felt annoyed and cursed.

Chi Xue felt that she was like a rabbit who was alone. If she lost the group, no one would dare to bully her.But anyone can bully her, except Du Anran!
The drizzle hit her face, and soon, her clothes and hair were wet, and she was shaking all over.

Before she knew it, she walked to the door of her shop, and the salesperson saw Chi Xue like this and hurried out with an umbrella.

"Miss Chi, what's the matter with you? Come in quickly!" The salesperson held Chi Xue's arm.

Chi Xue looks very embarrassed now, her wet hair is half hanging on her cheeks, and her lavender coat has been beaten into a deep purple by the rain.

The little salesperson pulled Chi Xue into the store and took a dry towel to dry her hair.

It took a long time before Chi Xue came to her senses. She suddenly grabbed the little salesperson's hand.

"If you really, really hate a woman, what would you do?" She said suddenly, startling the little salesperson.

The little salesperson shook her hand, and then said: "I... I usually just talk bad things about her behind her back, do some small tricks, and at worst just ignore her."

Chi Xue shook her head, really childish.

She thought of the documents she got in Mother Xin's room. She opened her phone and flipped through them one by one.

Since Xin's mother hesitated and did not dare to do anything to Du Anran, then these are her bargaining chips.Yes, Xin Zimo doesn't love her, so what, as long as he marries her, she doesn't believe that she won't be able to make him turn back for the rest of her life.

"Miss Chi, what is this?" The little salesperson couldn't help asking curiously when he saw the file photo in Chi Xue's phone.

"Good stuff..." Chi Xue's mouth curved into a smile.

I don't know if it's because the heating in the store is sufficient, but Chi Xue's heart has finally recovered, and there is no more heartache and sadness.She also slowly forced herself to forget everything she saw in the monitoring room, yes, Chi Xue couldn't just admit defeat like this.

I have cried and cried, and I have suffered pain, so stand up and move forward.

Xin Zimo is her only support in City A, and she cannot let go.

"Pour me a cup of coffee, and my favorite milk tofu, and bring me too." Blowing on the heater, Chi Xue finally felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The little salesman turned around and left.

After a while, the little salesman finished the coffee, which was steaming hot and smelled delicious.

While looking at the "good thing" in her hand, Chi Xue stirred the coffee, and she immediately felt refreshed.

She picked and picked, and finally picked the most important page. It was Shihe's accident on the construction site 20 years ago, which resulted in several major deaths, including Xin Zimo's father, Xin Yonghang.

This matter was left behind, and it seemed to be suppressed.But in this document, Xin's mother found the family members of the victims and signed it jointly.

If the old matter is brought up again in 20 years, with the status of the Xin family, this lawsuit will definitely win, and Du Anran and Bai Ruyun will definitely go to jail.

Chi Xue didn't understand why Mother Xin didn't take the Du family to court immediately, so as to relieve her anger.

She has been enduring it no matter what purpose mother Xin has, but she can't bear it.She wants to send this document to Du Anran, to let Du Anran know that she, Chi Xue, is not easy to mess with, and there is a price to be paid for robbing her of a man.

She thought of a way, since the document was such a thick stack, she would send a few pages to Du Anran every day, wouldn't it torture her even more.

Chi Xue felt that she was really smart, so she smiled complacently.

The warm aroma of coffee wafted in the air, Chi Xue started from the first page and anonymously sent a text message to Du Anran.

She was already trying to figure out Du Anran's expression and mood, and Chi Xue felt really relieved, if she sent her a few pictures from time to time, within a few days, Du Anran's heart would definitely not be able to bear it.
