give me years of peace

Chapter 94 The Strange Man
On the contrary, when Xin Zimo got off the car and stood in front of this group of idlers, he fixed a glance at them, and swept his cold gaze: "Whoever tells stories again in the future, don't even think about standing back to Shimen Lane."

Sure enough, the group of people fell silent when they saw Xin Zimo's eyes, and hurriedly called their friends: "Go, go, money is great!"

Du Anran tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Don't scare them, they just talk casually, they are very kind people."

"If you don't learn to protect yourself, you will be the one who suffers!" Xin Zimo said angrily.

"I've been used to it for a long time." Du Anran grunted, and said to him again, "I'm going in, you should go back early."

"Aren't you going to invite me in for dinner?" Xin Zimo looked at her idly.

Du Anran really didn't have this idea, she lied in the office, in fact, she didn't even know if her mother was at home.She pretended to be calm: "The house is a mess, and the place is small. I'll ask you to sit down some other day after I clean it up."

Fortunately, Xin Zimo didn't force it, he smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."

Before leaving, just as Du Anran was about to go in, Xin Zimo took advantage of her not paying attention, hugged her from behind, and kissed her neck.

The hot and humid kiss made Du Anran, who was unprepared, tremble. She said in embarrassment: "There are still people outside, I'll go in first!"

She broke free from his arms and ran into the house quickly.It's better for them to be less entangled, she really doesn't want to bear the infamy of "little three" and "lover".

Xin Zimo looked at her panic-stricken back and felt a sense of loss in his heart. After standing in the cold wind for a while, he drove away from Shimen Lane.

Du Anran stood in the corner and saw Xin Zimo's car driving away, so he walked out of the house in fear.Her mother hasn't come back yet, so she's really afraid that the lie will be exposed by accident just now. You know, he hates others for lying to him very much.

But in the future, if he found out that she still kept countless things from him, would he be furious?

Hailing a taxi casually, Du Anran temporarily put down everything about Xin Zimo, because she still had a more important doubt waiting for her to solve.

Who is this man waiting for her in the Hanging Garden Restaurant.

You know, the Sky Garden Restaurant is expensive, it is one of the few high-end restaurants in City A, and its most famous is its conference hall, which is well-known throughout the province.As for the coffee shop, it is a place where only the rich can afford it.

This place has been visited several times after Du Anran took over Shihe, but most of the time she came with her uncle.

When the eyes were bright, Du Anran knew that the restaurant had arrived.

The staggered lights shine on the musical fountain, reflecting the entire sky into colorful.The water flowing outside the brightly lit restaurant can be seen everywhere, such as Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari and other sports cars.

Du Anran went straight to the coffee shop on the seventh floor. A lady at the front desk asked her if she had an appointment. After she gave her name, someone immediately led her to a quiet corner.

"It turns out that you are Mr. Xie's guest. If you need anything, just come to me." The waitress had a very good attitude.

"Mr. Xie? Which Mr. Xie?" Du Anran asked.

"Long time no see, Miss Du doesn't remember me?" Before the waiter could answer, a man about Xin Zimo's age stood up in front of him.

The crystal chandelier at the top emits soft light and shines on him.He was wearing a black suit, which made his face sharp, and there was a natural charm when the corners of his lips were raised.Different from Xin Zimo's cold charm, and Jin Shaonan's generosity, he has a gentlemanly elegance, but also a powerful aura that makes people shudder.

The waiter gave him a slight signal and went down. Du Anran stood aside and stared at him for a few seconds, then frowned suspiciously and said, "Are you... Xie Chenjin?"

"It's a good thing you still remember me, otherwise I would be embarrassed." Xie Chenjin smiled, and gracefully invited Du Anran to sit across from her.

He looked at Du Anran, she was wearing a light purple dress today, her hair was tied back, her eyes were as bright as stars, but the eyes lacked the publicity of her peers, and were a little more calm.She smiled beautifully, especially a slight smile, which made the surrounding lights lose their color.

"We don't seem to have met a few times." The reason why Du Anran still remembers him is purely because his uncle signed a large contract with Xie's Bank, but on the day of signing, Xie Chenjin terminated the entire contract. conduct.

Everyone was puzzled, but Xie Chenjin, as the eldest son of the Xie family, had enough power to speak, and even paid a large sum of liquidated damages to Shihe to prevent the signing of the contract.

After the death and bankruptcy, everyone praised Mr. Xie for his wisdom, and Du Anran also remembered this person.

It's just that it was already a year ago, and she still couldn't guess the purpose of Xie Chenjin looking for her today.

"That's right, Miss Du is more beautiful than a year ago." It's frivolous to say it in other people's mouths, but when he said it, it was just right.

"Thank you." Although there was a feud with the Xie family in the previous life, and even because Xie's funds were not borrowed, Shihe had a serious internal economic crisis, but the matter is over after all, and now Shihe is gone. , everything seems meaningless.

"What would you like to drink?" Xie Chenjin's movements were flawless, and he was well-bred.

"No need." Du Anran smiled slightly, "Mr. Xie invited me over, he must have something to say to me."

"Miss Du is a smart person, at least you didn't reject me today." Xie Chenjin gracefully stretched out her long and slender hand to pick up the coffee and said with a smile.

"In terms of smartness, I'm not one-thousandth of Mr. Xie." Du Anran smiled, yes, if a person is not smart enough, how could he have the foresight to stop the entire contract at the very moment of signing the contract? signed.

"I'm sorry, if you want to really count the word 'smart', I'm afraid no one in City A can compare to you." Xie Chenjin said with a smile, "A man who can even use his love and marriage as a bet, I'm really sorry." I can't imagine what else he can't do."

"Mr. Xie invited me over, he didn't just want to talk to me about an irrelevant person." Du Anran frowned.

"Miss Du is refreshing, okay, then I will talk about the purpose of inviting Miss Du to come over tonight." Xie Chenjin said.

Du Anran listened attentively, she was waiting for Xie Chenjin's next words, because she really couldn't guess what kind of intersection she and Xie Chenjin could have.

"I told you on the phone today that your father had a huge deposit. I don't know if you remember it." Xie Chenjin said slowly.

"Because of the accident at the construction site, I couldn't pay a huge amount of compensation. All my father's deposits have been frozen by the court. How can there be any deposits?" Du Anran smiled.

"You underestimate your father too much." Xie Chenjin explained, "Your father still has a huge sum of money in the Xie family, because the Xie family is a private bank, the court cannot find out the money, and we have done our best to keep it secret. Father After his death, your uncle Du Yuan has been managing the money, but later your uncle was cornered and unable to repay the debt, so the money...was taken away by Xin Zimo."

Seeing Du Anran's surprised expression, Xie Chenjin lowered his voice: "You know, this amount of money is not small, including interest, it's a total of 900 million."

Du Anran never thought that his father still had such a large amount of money, let alone that all the money had fallen into Xin Zimo's hands.

"What you said is true?" Du Anran was noncommittal, doubts written all over his face.

"It's true, but the money has already been transferred to Xin Zimo's name. I couldn't bear to see you being kept secret, so I told you the truth."

Du Anran didn't feel too emotional anymore, and smiled lightly: "My uncle's gambling debts were repaid by him, so it should be regarded as non-negotiable. It doesn't make much sense to pursue this money."

"Miss Du is calmer and more generous than I imagined." Xie Chenjin didn't have much contact with Du Anran, but he really admired her just now.

"What about my uncle?" Du Anran asked.

"Although your uncle is desperate, he will not commit suicide. After all, he is a person who has worked hard in the mall for decades. Besides, Xin Zimo paid off all the gambling debts for your uncle. He has no reason to commit suicide at all," Xie Chenjin said leisurely. .

"Then you mean..."

"The last straw that crushed your uncle was the sense of guilt." Xie Chenjin said without hesitation, "Before your uncle committed suicide, Xin Zimo had talked with him. Xin Zimo said that all this is the Du family's own fault. I won’t let it go. Your uncle was under too much pressure, and he committed suicide because he was afraid of hurting you.”

"Why should I trust you?" Du Anran said, "If it's what you said, why would Xin Zimo pay my uncle's debt?"

"You can think that he loves you." Xie Chenjin smiled lightly, "But that's all I can tell you. Believe it or not, it's all up to you. Just like Xin Zimo, believe it or not, it's all up to you."

"Then why are you telling me this again?"

"Because... I want to ask Miss Du for help."

"Help?" Du Anran was very surprised, Xie's family is not weak in City A, Xie's family has always been asked by others.

"Don't think that you have nothing now." Xie Chenjin took a sip of coffee, and there was no hidden scheming on his calm face, "But before I say my request, I want to ask Miss Du a question. What do you want the most? What?"

Du Anran took a look at the night outside the restaurant. The lights were bright and neon was brilliant, and the whole city could be seen in a panoramic view.Her eye sockets are inexplicably swollen, what do you want... It's been a long time since anyone asked her this question.

Xie Chenjin stared at her, seeing the sudden loneliness on her face, his heart shuddered.

"I want to hear what's on your mind." Xie Chenjin put down the coffee in his hand and looked at her quietly. This was the first time he sat so close to Du Anran.Because of the contract a year ago, she probably hated him a lot.But shopping malls are like battlefields, and Xie's interests are always his top priority.
