give me years of peace

Chapter 234 I'm avoiding him

"Xie Chenjin, what are you trying to trick me with?" Du Anran is not stupid now, Xie Chenjin's intention is very obvious.

If she said she was sad, could he use her to threaten Xin Zimo again?However, it would be very hypocritical for her to say that she was not sad.

Xie Chenjin smiled, obviously just asking casually, but she thought she had ulterior motives.

"It's fine if you don't reply, I don't like to force others." He was a little afraid to hear her answer.

Xie Chenjin still had a wry smile on his lips, but at this moment, some inappropriate images jumped into his mind.

That day in the monitoring room, in the drizzle, he clearly saw Du Anran stand on tiptoe and kiss Xin Zimo proactively.

Du Anran didn't reply to him, she believed that Xin Zimo could make Xin's better.Xin Zimo and Xie Chenjin were fighting each other. Although she didn't want to see an ending where one would be injured, she was afraid it would be unavoidable.

Her heart must be inclined towards Xin Zimo. After all, she made such a big sacrifice just for Xin Zimo to have a good and happy life in the future.

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Du Anran reckoned that Xin Zimo must not be at the Huxin Island villa anymore, so he wanted to find out if the brooch was still there.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one has taken over the project of Jinpan Garden, she must do her best.

She went back to the villa quietly, and when she passed the rose trellis, she smiled wryly. She once slept under the rose trellis for one night.

She still can't imagine how she spent that night. It was freezing cold, and there was a cold frost fog at night. At that time, she was still barefoot and her clothes were disheveled.

But she didn't feel aggrieved after all. The road was chosen by herself, and no matter how painful it was, she had to finish it.

She only hopes to see an ending she wants, as long as Xin Zimo and Xin Shi are well.

She doesn't need Xin Zimo to accept her love, she even hopes that he will never know.It's like he has done so much for her and she didn't know it.

She walked quietly to the villa, she saw Alu cleaning the corridor outside the villa, maybe they saw the brooch.Anyway, just go and ask.

Du Anran looked around, but she wasn't sure if Xin Zimo was really absent.Just based on previous experience, at this point, he should work in Xin's.Besides, he didn't necessarily sleep here last night.

His kind of workaholic always races against time, and Xin needs him very much now.

Let's make a quick decision, Du Anran walked towards Alu outside the villa.

"Ah Lu." Du Anran walked up to her and called out softly.

"Miss Du." Alu was obviously surprised. She hadn't seen Du Anran for many days, and Mr. Xin always came back alone these days.

"Is he there?" Du Anran gestured to the villa with his eyes.

Alu lowered his voice: "Mr. Xin drank too much last night..."

"Drinking again?" Du Anran had no choice but to drink whenever he had a social occasion.

"Yes, quite drunk. It was a beautiful lady who sent Mr. Xin back, but Mr. Xin kept calling Ms. Du's name..."

A Lu just narrated, but Du Anran's heart skipped a beat.

"Oh..." It took Du Anran a long time to recover.

"Miss Du, why didn't you come back together? Do you want to go upstairs to see Mr. Xin?" Alu went in without knowing.

"He didn't leave?" Du Anran held his forehead.

"Mr. Xin is still drunk, I am hesitating whether to wake up Mr. Xin."

"Don't..." Du Anran hastily stopped her and changed the subject, "I want to ask you something..."

"What's the matter?" Alu blinked his eyes wide.

"Did you find anything valuable in the small river outside the villa recently? Like rings, necklaces...brooches..." Du Anran hinted.

"Miss Du is joking. Although the river is not deep, we never go down to find things when we are free. If it is summer, maybe we will go into the water to play, but it is winter now." Alu felt that Du Anran's question was unbelievable.

"Pretend I didn't ask." Du Anran knew this was the result.

"Miss Du lost something?" Alu asked.

"No..." Du Anran quickly shook his head, "By the way, don't say I've been here, especially don't tell Mr. Xin."

"Oh..." Alu scratched her head, she didn't understand that Du Anran came here this morning just to say these inexplicable words?
Not long after Du Anran left, Xin Zimo came downstairs.

He went to the monitor and took down the video material, took a look at it, and put it back where it was.

"Ah Lu!" Xin Zi called silently.

Alu hurried in from the outside, folded his hands in front of his chest and bent down: "Mr. Xin."

"Is anyone looking for me?" Xin Zimo sat on the sofa and looked at her.

"No...no." A Lu still remembered Du Anran's instructions, she couldn't have betrayed Du Anran as soon as Du Anran left.

Xin Zi kept silent, and continued to stare at her until A Lu didn't dare to look up.

At this time, Xin Zimo was wearing a white shirt and looked as warm as jade, but his face exuded a cold aura, and the cold light in his eyes was enough to freeze three feet.

"From tomorrow onwards, you won't be here!" Xin Zimo said in a low voice.

"Mr. Xin...I..." Alu's face turned pale immediately, she didn't know what she did wrong.

One month's salary in the villa on Huxin Island is enough for her to work outside for a year, and she doesn't want to lose this job.

Xin Zimo ignored her, took his suit and planned to leave the villa.

"Mr. Xin! Mr. Xin! I don't want to lose my job!" A Lu hurriedly stopped Xin Zimo.

"What's the use of a disloyal person?" Xin Zimo gave her a cold look.

Alu quickly bent down, and stammered: "Mr. Xin... I shouldn't lie, this morning... Miss Du came here... but... Miss Du won't let me say... I... I really didn't mean it ..."

"What is she here for?" Xin Zimo said in a low voice.

A Lu now feels that he is really not a human being inside and out. It is not good to offend Xin Zimo, nor is it good to offend Du Anran.But a hero doesn't suffer from immediate losses, it's better for her to tell the truth, after all, her salary is given by Xin Zimo, not Du Anran.

"Miss Du...Miss Du didn't say anything...just...just asking me if I found anything...valuable things in the small river outside the villa..."

Xin Zimo's eyes turned cold, something valuable?Oh, he understands.

He didn't ask any more questions, walked past Ah Lu and went out of the villa.

"Mr. Xin! Mr. Xin! Can I not leave?" Ah Lu shouted behind him.

But Xin Zimo just threw her an indifferent back and didn't say anything.

This is really hard for Alu, what should she do, is Mr. Xin angry or not?
He drank too much wine yesterday, and Xin Zimo didn't have much strength this morning, so he called the driver to drive.

In fact, Du Anran didn't leave the villa at all, she hid behind a big tree not far outside.She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw Xin Zimo's car leave the villa and was sure that Xin Zimo had left.

She had to look for it, whether she could find it or not, at least she tried her best.

Xie Chenjin valued this brooch so much, maybe she could blackmail Xie Chenjin after she found it.

Thinking of this, she slipped back to the villa again.

A Lu was struggling with whether he would be fired, he was worried and anxious at the same time, and at the moment he was lying on the railing outside the villa and weeping softly.

Du Anran didn't know why Ah Lu was crying after he had only walked for a while...

"Alu, what's wrong with you?"

A Lu was startled: "Miss Du, why are you back?"

"I'll come back to find something." Du Anran said.

"It's that valuable thing again?" Alu was actually quite puzzled. What kind of things in this villa are not valuable? Is the meaning of falling into the water more unique?

"Shh, why are you crying?"

"Miss Du, I'm sorry, just now Mr. Xin asked me if anyone came, I said no, but Mr. Xin said I was disloyal and wanted to fire me..." Alu sobbed, "Then...then I said truth……"

Du Anran raised his forehead, well, he was betrayed again.However, even if he is not betrayed by A Lu, with the shrewdness of Xin Zimo's old fox, it will be a matter of time before he knows.

"Miss Du, how do you think Mr. Xin knew?" A Lu was probably as stupid as Du Anran.

Du Anran thought for a while: "Maybe he happened to see it upstairs?"

A Lu suddenly realized: "Oh..."

"Ah Lu, I saw that he went out just now. Go outside the villa and watch for me. If someone comes, just whistle to signal me." Du Anran couldn't guarantee whether Xin Zimo would turn back suddenly.

"Miss Du, why do you seem to be avoiding Mr. Xin?" Alu was puzzled.

"Don't ask, just go and watch for me." Du Anran said.

"Oh." Alu nodded.

Probably because he felt a little sorry for Du Anran, A Lu obediently walked to the intersection of the villa.

Du Anran vaguely remembered the place where the brooch was lost at that time, she went to the same place, the river was very clear, and she could see the stones and aquatic plants at the bottom of the water at a glance.

There are fish swimming around constantly, but looking for a brooch like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

No matter what, you have to go down and look for it.

It is said that there is something called a metal detector, which is a must-have for tomb robbers and gold diggers.Du Anran didn't know if pearls or diamonds were suitable, and besides, she remembered that there were brooches inlaid with gold threads, so it seemed that she could give it a try.

Du Anran immediately called a heretic to get a metal detector, and Alu saw her posture, and didn't know what treasure was missing.

Besides, Mr. Xin still lacks these two treasures?
A Lu couldn't understand, so he had to continue to help Du Anran keep watch.

Du Anran also prepared a set of outfits for going into the water, otherwise she would have to go barefoot in this winter, and she wouldn't be too cold to death.

"Miss Du, do you want someone to help you find it?" Seeing Du Anran like this, A Lu was really afraid that something might happen to her.

"No! You watch it for me!" Du Anran shouted.

Fortunately, the small river is not deep, and the whole person can reach the abdomen when standing in it, and there is no mud under the feet, it is all hard rocks.

The less people know about this kind of thing, the better.She had to find the brooch as soon as possible, and her project had to be won by herself.
