give me years of peace

Chapter 315 That Accident
Xin Zimo was really dumbfounded, he took out the key from his pocket.In order to open this door, he specially found someone to match this key.

After opening the door, Du Anran grabbed his hand again.

The yard was gloomy, with bursts of chilly air.It's almost summer, and it still feels like winter here.

Du Anran saw a gardenia plant in the yard, its buds had already been crushed, exuding a delicate fragrance.This gardenia tree made Du Anran feel the existence of life here.

"May I not go in..." Du Anran retreated again, she really didn't know the purpose of Xin Zimo bringing her here.

As soon as the words were finished, the sound of iron chains came from the room, accompanied by the sound of "woo woo woo".

"Coward, you will stand at the door later."

Xin Zimo dragged her into the room, and when the door was pushed open, a musty smell came over her nostrils.

Xin Zimo quickly covered Du Anran's nose: "Hold on, no one has come to see her since Xiao Qingqing left."

Du Anran nodded vigorously, but she was also speechless.

When Xiao Lanzhen saw someone coming, she rushed over dragging the iron chain.But the chain has a length limit, and before she could pounce far, the chain pulled her back to where she was.

On the contrary, Du Anran was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She observed the room, it was still the same as last time.In terms of changes, there is more dust and the air is worse.

As for Xiao Lanzhen, she still looked the same, unkempt, and her clothes were already dark.Her eyes were particularly hollow, probably wide open because of her thinness.

Xiao Lanzhen has been looking at them, obviously, she recognizes them.

"An Ran, remember the last time we came here, she didn't finish what she said?" Xin Zimo said.

"She said..." Du Anran thought for a while, "The last thing she said was 'I didn't do it'..."

It's just that too many things happened later, and she had to forget some things.It wasn't until now that she and Xin Zimo came back here that she recalled what happened that day.

That day seemed like a nightmare, lingering.

But whether it's a demon or a beautiful dream, it will pass...

"Yes, that's the sentence." Xin Zimo said, "At that time, you said that she was suffering from intermittent mental illness, and I will come to see you later. But I knew that she was the nightmare of your mother and daughter, and you will not come again. So, after that, I came alone a few times."

"You mean, what did you find?" Du Anran said.

"Ask her." Xin Zimo pointed to Xiao Lanzhen.

"Will she... speak?" Du Anran hesitated.

Xin Zimo took a step forward and walked up to Xiao Lanzhen, but kept a distance from her.

"What you told me last time, tell An Ran again." Xin Zimo's tone was stern.

Sure enough, Xiao Lanzhen retreated a few steps timidly, and just looked at Xin Zimo with wide eyes.

"Xiao Lanzhen, it's about your coming back to find Du Yuanheng later." Xin Zimo reminded.

"I don't know, I didn't do it!" Xiao Lanzhen shouted suddenly, which shocked Du Anran a lot.

"Really? That's not what you told me last time!" Xin Zimo was stern.

"I didn't tell you anything, what did I tell you!" Xiao Lanzhen regretted.

Du Anran stood at the door watching their every move, she was a little scared.She was thinking, what if Xiao Lanzhen broke free from the chain suddenly!
Of course, her worry was unnecessary, the iron chain was very thick, Xiao Lanzhen couldn't escape at all.

"You don't want to repeat it again, do you? Then I don't mind repeating what I said again." Xin Zimo's tone was ruthless, "If you refuse to say it, you will starve to death from tomorrow on." You must have never tasted the taste of starving to death, have you? I can see that you can't wait to try it."

Xiao Lanzhen was finally afraid, she shook her head again and again, and then nodded desperately after shaking her head.

"I said I said...don't starve me...don't starve me..."

Du Anran saw that there were indeed many things on the ground, and they all looked fresh.It must not be bought by Xiao Qingqing, it can only be provided by Xin Zimo.

If Xin Zimo cut off her way, she would have to wait to starve to death.

"Tell me every word." Xin Zimo warned.

Xiao Lanzhen nodded: "I said, I said..."

Du Anran didn't know what Xin Zimo wanted her to say, so she stood aside and listened carefully.At this time, Xiao Lanzhen's spirit is still normal, she probably won't lie, besides, lying is not good for her.

"Later, I... Didn't I come back to find Du Yuanheng? Qingqing and I really couldn't survive, so I went to ask Du Yuanheng for money in a moment of obsession."

"Money is really nothing to Du Yuanheng. He also felt that his younger brother did something wrong, so he agreed to me very readily. At that time, I also thought that if he could promise me so easily, he would definitely be able to promise me other things too." Require……"

"So, I said to him again, I like you, you divorced that woman, and we got married... I really said that when I was desperate...Of course Du Yuanheng didn't agree to me, and then we had a dispute , I also forgot to take the money and left..."

"It happened to be evening when I left, and there was heavy rain and thunder. I didn't know if I was obsessed with ghosts. At that time, I wanted to take revenge on the Du family. I went to Shihe to pull the construction rope for a big project..."

"I... I... I really didn't expect... that someone would die..."

When Xiao Lanzhen said this, she fell into a kind of distress and self-blame.

Du Anran was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood, she asked Xin Zimo in a low voice: "Your father... Did it happen that time..."

A mournful expression appeared on Xin Zimo's face, and he nodded after a long time: "Yes."

After getting Xin Zimo's affirmative answer, Du Anran was completely stunned. It turned out that after so many years, the main culprit of that accident was Xiao Lanzhen...

Some people always thought that it was just Shihe's ineffective supervision that caused such a big accident on the construction site, but they didn't expect that someone did it on purpose.Both her and her mother believed that Shihe's ineffective supervision had caused the accident.

Of course, including Xin Zimo and Xin's mother, everyone settled the account on Shihe and the Du family.

"Later, continue." Xin Zimo said to Xiao Lanzhen.

"Later I was really scared, very scared. I didn't expect that there would be so many lives... I went to beg Du Yuanheng, I begged him to let me live. If the police came, they would definitely investigate It was on my head. I cried and begged Du Yuanheng, but Du Yuanheng disagreed at first, but I threatened him to tell the scandal about the Du family."

"That's it, Du Yuanheng agreed and helped me hide the matter. Later I heard that Du Yuanheng had paid the compensation, but the people at the police station really didn't find me again... I didn't dare to go to Du's house anymore, so I just I have been hiding here with Qingqing..."

Du Anran was shocked, she didn't expect that her father protected Xiao Lanzhen by accident back then, but it laid the groundwork for all the things that followed.

The most ruthless thing is fate.

Xin Zimo heard Xiao Lanzhen repeat the past again, and his heart ached.

Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was feeling uncomfortable, but in order to make her and her mother feel better, he personally brought her here.

Du Anran took a few steps forward and grabbed Xin Zimo's hand.

She found that his big warm hands also became cold at this time.She held his hand, perhaps, two cold hands could warm each other...

"I'm done..." Xiao Lanzhen breathed a sigh of relief as if she had completed a task.

Speaking of the past, Du Anran found that she was still trembling.

"Xiao Lanzhen, you have failed in this life." Du Anran said to her.

This woman, who has lived in her own world and greedy desires all her life, has lived a miserable life until now in her later years.

Sometimes, the person who caused the tragedy is precisely yourself.

"I will regret it, but what's the use of regretting..." Xiao Lanzhen smiled wryly.

"Because you only regret but don't act, you don't cheer up, and you don't put in your own efforts. You only know how to take and enjoy what you get." Du Anran said.

"I have paid the price of my whole life, and I will never do it again..." Xiao Lanzhen's gaze was still blank.

"An Ran, I brought you here today to tell you that back then, neither you nor your mother was wrong. Your father was wrong, but your father has passed away." Xin Zimo said.

Du Anran lowered her head, and after a long time, she looked up into his eyes: "Then you...are you willing to forgive us?"

"I told you a long time ago that I don't hate the Du family anymore, it's just that it takes time for my mother's place." Xin Zimo also looked at her.

Du Anran smiled slightly: "Let's go, let's go back. I haven't had dinner yet..."

"En." Xin Zimo held Du Anran's hand instead, and led her out of the room.

Behind her was the sound of Xiao Lanzhen dragging the chain, very loud.And her anxious cry: "Don't forget what you said, send me something every other week!"

Xin Zimo ignored Xiao Lanzhen, just hugged Du Anran and walked out of the compound.The environment here is not good, and Xin Zimo was afraid that Du Anran would feel unwell after staying for a long time.

Before leaving, Du Anran took one last look at the hut under the dim light.In the future, it will never come again!
Let the 20 years of kindness and resentment be buried deeply ever since.Until one day, Xiao Lanzhen also passed away...

"She didn't fall ill today, but she is still awake." On the way back, Du Anran said to Xin Zimo.

"Actually, she is sober most of the time, but she will suffer from pain if she is sober for a long time, so she will have intermittent mental illness over time." Xin Zimo said.

"Will you often come to give her things in the future?" Du Anran was very curious, because this was the direct murderer who hurt his father's life.

"I also promised her just now. People can't keep their promises, right? I will let my assistant come over in the future." Xin Zimo said, "However, she was able to live before because Xiao Qingqing was still there. Now she is here The only sustenance in the world is gone, I think she won't live long."
