give me years of peace

Chapter 33
"An Ran, I'm telling the truth, you believe me..." Xin Zimo patted on the door of the ward, but nothing helped.

Du Anran bit her lip, not letting the tears flow down.The body is her own, and she still has to live a good life. The doctor said that she can't cry.

"An Ran, don't cry, it's not worth crying for this kind of person." Bai Ruyun was speaking, but her tears couldn't be controlled, falling like beads with a broken string.

"Mom, I won't cry..." Du Anran's voice had already choked up, "In the future, don't let him come here again..."

"Got it, got it." Bai Ruyun nodded, "Mom didn't know he was such a person before. I thought he was helping us with nostalgia, but I didn't expect..."

"Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, he Xin Zimo is a bastard with a human face and a beast's heart!" Du Anran said angrily.

It gradually became quiet outside the door, and Xin Zimo seemed to have left.

"An Ran, has he never loved you?" Bai Ruyun asked.

Du Anran controlled his emotions, and nodded calmly: "Yes...never, he has been using me to get Shihe's information, you know, he even hooked up with my former secretary Xiao Qingqing, And all of this, I have never known. Xiao Qingqing helped him steal information while he was alive and in prison, and he let people defraud his uncle of the shares. A huge debt. The two cooperated internally and externally, and this is how Shihe went bankrupt..."

"It's a pity that I sometimes speak for him..." Bai Ruyun regretted, "I thought it was you playing petty temper..."

"Yeah, he can pretend to be unaware. You never know which of his words is true and which is false. Even you are deceived by his appearance." Said these things to my mother , Du Anran finally felt better.

"But why does he still come to provoke you now? He even said he likes you?" Bai Ruyun asked suspiciously.

"Mom, do you think I'm still useful?" Du Anran asked calmly and seriously.

"This..." Bai Ruyun couldn't figure out that now Du Anran has nothing, and the Du family also has nothing.

"Maybe my appearance is still useful." Du Anran sneered, "Or, a domineering person like him can't tolerate resistance from others, so the more he can't get it, the more he wants it."

Bai Ruyun was noncommittal: "You were all about to get married before, but now that you think about it... it's fine."

"Actually, for a shrewd person like him, marriage is not a bargaining chip. Mom, do you understand what I mean?" Du Anran said calmly.

"Understood, understood." Bai Ruyun nodded, "Maybe he tricked Xiao Qingqing into stealing Shihe's information with this attractive condition."

"Yes." Du Anran sighed.

"An Ran, when you recover, shall we go back to our hometown? I have lived in City A for more than [-] years, and I miss my hometown too." Bai Ruyun's eyes were wet again.

"Mom, I want to stay at the newspaper..." Du Anran said.

Bai Ruyun was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "No matter where you are, Mom will be with you. And Shaonan, he is a good man."

"Hmm." Du Anran thought for a while, "Actually, Shaonan gave me the courage to live. If one day, he has not changed and can still accept me, then I am willing to try to accept him."

"Really? I like Jin Shaonan very much." Bai Ruyun is very happy, although she knows that Du Anran loved Xin Zimo like that, as cute as he is, and now he hates him as much, trust is like a piece of white paper, I can't help it either.

"Actually, it's not difficult to choose between the one you love and the one who loves you. People's hearts will always change. One day, the one who loves you may become the one you love." Du Anran's tone was full of is bland.

"It's good that you can think like this." Bai Ruyun sighed, she was afraid that Du Anran wouldn't be able to get out, now she relaxed a little.

Du Anran smelled the fragrance of flowers outside the window, and she suddenly thought of something: "Mom, Xin Zimo gave you that bouquet of blue witches, right?"

"Yes..." Bai Ruyun didn't lie to her anymore, she stood up immediately and pulled out the blue enchantress from the vase, "I'm going to throw it away now."

Du Anran didn't stop him, but nodded quietly.

Bai Ruyun was startled when she opened the door, it turned out that Xin Zimo hadn't left yet.He was leaning against the wall in the corridor, staring at the ward.

Bai Ruyun was afraid that he would go in and disturb Du Anran again, so he closed the door behind him.At the same time, Xin Zimo also saw the handful of blue witches in her hands.

"Auntie, can you listen to my explanation?" Xin Zimo stepped forward.

"There's nothing to explain, and I don't know how to listen. Even if we misunderstood you, you and An Ran have become passers-by." Bai Ruyun said calmly. She is not an impatient person, and she is used to right and wrong. No, many years of ordinary life has cultivated her temperament.

"Auntie, I..." Xin Zimo's face was full of helplessness, "I have always thought that I didn't love An Ran, that everything was just a joke, but it wasn't until I lost her that I realized that I love her."

"What is loss? Losing means nothing." Bai Ruyun didn't want to persuade anymore. In the past, maybe she would persuade An Ran and Xin Zimo to be together, but now, she doesn't persuade anything. Sometimes love is not the whole of life. Only happiness is the most important thing.

Bai Ruyun didn't listen to Xin Zimo's words, and walked straight to the wastebasket, and the handful of blue enchantresses were thrown into the wastebasket just like that.She didn't even look at Xin Zimo again. After returning to the ward, she silently closed the door.

Xin Zimo stood outside the door with his head bowed. He knew that from the beginning to the end, he was the only one who was wrong.

As night fell, city A gradually sank into the feasting, only the hospital remained as quiet as ever.Du Anran has never cried since the operation, even though his heart hurts like a knife.

After that day, Xin Zimo never came to the hospital again, and there was no more quarreling in the quiet ward.Jin Shaonan would come to see Du Anran every day after get off work. In City A, he lived alone and was free, so he could often accompany Du Anran for a long time.

Bai Ruyun didn't mention Xin Zimo's name anymore, and this name became a taboo in Du Anran's heart.

On the fourth day after the operation, after the routine examination, the doctor removed the gauze from An Ran's eyes.He said that An Ran's eyes recovered very well, and if he continued to maintain them, there would be no sequelae.

Bai Ruyun was very happy to hear that, and took Du Anran for a walk in the garden of the hospital.The evening wind of Ji Xia blew on his face like soft willows. In the setting sun, Du Anran's smile condensed into the most beautiful picture.

When Bai Ruyun went to make dinner for Du Anran, he brought Du Anran, who was reluctant to leave, back to the ward.However, just as Bai Ruyun left, an unexpected guest was ushered in the ward.

The person who came was wearing sunglasses and quietly closed the door of the ward.But Du Anran heard the movement, moved slightly and asked, "Who?"

"It's me, Sun Ping." Sun Ping didn't take off his sunglasses, but stood beside Du Anran's bed.

Sun Ping belonged to Xin Zimo, so Du Anran stopped talking to him.

"Miss Du, I would like to ask you to do me a favor." Sun Ping said unhurriedly.He saw the timing right, knowing this, Bai Ruyun was going to cook.

Du Anran didn't speak, but remained silent.

"Miss Du, it's a very important matter. I want you to help me." Seeing that Du Anran didn't speak, Sun Ping said directly.

"As soon as you finish speaking, you can leave." Du Anran said in a bad tone.

Seeing that Du Anran was in a bad mood, Sun Ping was afraid that she would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Du, this matter is related to my survival, and whether Mr. Xin will go to jail."

"Heh." Du Anran sneered, "Really? Xin Zimo will go to jail? That's good, I like to hear and see it, and I look forward to it every day."
