give me years of peace

Chapter 24 Anxious Waiting

It was past one o'clock and the hospital was quiet, only the sound of Xin Zimo's restless footsteps could be heard.After a while, Bai Ruyun rushed over, at that time Du Anran had already been sent to the operating room.

"Zimo, what's the matter, is there any result?" Bai Ruyun asked in a panic.

"The injury is a bit serious, but if you rest more after the operation, there should be no problem." Xin Zimo was still comforting Bai Ruyun.

Bai Ruyun slumped down on the bench outside the waiting room, covering her face with her fingers, tears streaming down her face.She loves her daughter very much, she only has such a dependent daughter.

"Auntie, don't worry, nothing will happen." Jin Shaonan was also comforting her, but no one had any idea.

Jin Shaonan was by Bai Ruyun's side, and Xin Zimo went to the corridor to call Sun Ping.He asked him to find the murderer at any cost. He said that they would pay the price, and life would be worse than death.

"Mr. Xin, just as you said, I went to the end of the cross-river bridge and found a few cigarette butts at the accident site. I have already sent them to the Public Security Bureau. The fingerprint test results should come out soon. "Sun Ping has always been quick in handling things, and he knows that he can't be careless about Du Anran's affairs.

"Well, I'll wait for your news." Xin Zimo's heart calmed down a bit, and only by catching these people can he be able to deal with An Ran.

After finishing the phone call, Xin Zimo stood at the window blowing the cool breeze. It was very cold at night, and he felt that his whole body was icy cold.In the dark, he lit a cigarette and tasted the boundless pain.

"Xin Zimo." Jin Shaonan stood behind him at some point, "Did you know about An Ran's interview at the newspaper?"

"Ah."

"Then did you send someone to tamper with her written test paper?"

Jin Shaonan secretly found a good friend and retrieved the test papers, but found no problems. Therefore, the only explanation was that someone was unwilling to let Du Anran enter the newspaper office, so he thought of Xin Zimo first.He once heard Du Anran say that Xin Zimo had been using her all the time, and that Shihe was broken by him. Not only that, he also wanted to drive her to a dead end.

"Yes."

To Jin Shaonan's surprise, Xin Zimo did not deny it.

"Why did you do this? Do you know that An Ran's biggest dream is to enter the media industry, and she has been working hard since she was in college!" Jin Shaonan was very indignant.

"College? Are you reminding me that she spent the entire four years of college with you!" Xin Zimo turned his head and stared at Jin Shaonan.

It was a period of time without his participation, but, in the past, she didn't have him in her life, but in the future, she can't.

Jin Shaonan suddenly understood why Xin Zimo's anger arose, but An Ran said that his unscrupulous methods had already hurt her, and she would never forgive Xin Zimo in this life.

"Xin Zimo, do you know how much your actions have hurt her?" Jin Shaonan asked.

He really didn't know, if he knew, entering the newspaper office was her persistent dream, he would definitely not stop it, he just simply didn't want her to get close to Jin Shaonan.How much does he know about her, doesn't he, not as much as Jin Shaonan?
He suddenly felt deep sadness. Did Du Anran never tell him the truth?Even on topics like dreams.Or, she said, he didn't listen carefully...

That's right, in the past two years, he didn't care about her at all. He only paid close attention to her business whereabouts and her contract signing, but he never cared about her life.Even caring is nothing but false perfunctory.

"I'm sorry for her." Although Jin Shaonan was standing in front of him, this sentence was always hidden in his heart.

"You should save these words and tell An Ran." Jin Shaonan said, "If you really feel sorry for her, you should leave her and don't interfere with her life anymore."

"Did she ask you to say these words to me?" Xin Zimo said in a low voice, but could not hide his anger.

"Yes, these days, she has cried in front of me more than once, and every time, it has something to do with you!"

"What's your relationship now?" Xin Zimo interrupted him.

"I should tell you that An Ran has nothing to do with you!" Jin Shaonan scolded angrily, resenting Xin Zimo's obsession.

"Please keep quiet!" Suddenly, a little nurse ran into the corridor and looked at Xin Zimo and Jin Shaonan.

The two of them gave each other a blank look before falling silent.

While waiting anxiously, Xin Zimo lit several more cigarettes one after another.Jin Shaonan doesn't smoke, so he looks at the door of the operating room from a distance, sometimes wandering back and forth a few steps, sometimes comforting Bai Ruyun in a low voice.

However, before Du Anran came out, Mother Xin and Chi Xue arrived.

Only then did Xin Zimo realize that he was careless, and he should not have sent Du Anran to the city hospital in a hurry.My mother and the Du family have always been in conflict, now, how should it end...

"Zimo, what are you doing here? At this point, shouldn't you be at home?" Mother Xin pretended to be confused, and walked slowly to Xin Zimo. At the same time, she also saw Bai Ruyun and Jin Shaonan beside her.

"A friend is sick, I just rushed to the hospital."

"Oh? What friend, so important?"

"You don't know." Xin Zimo just responded to Xin's mother in a neutral manner. He thought, she must have guessed that it was Du Anran.

"Since it's your friend, it's just right. A patient just passed away in the room next to me. You can take her there so we can take care of her together." Mother Xin said.

"I'm just her friend, and the specific arrangement depends on her family's wishes." Xin Zimo only responded quietly, then looked at Chi Xue and said, "Chi Xue, it's so late, take my mother back to the ward, don't catch a cold."

"It's only been a few days since I took you to the cemetery, and you don't have a long memory!" Xin's mother suddenly thought of Xin Yonghang, and tears rolled down her cheeks as soon as she said it.

His mother was reminding him that the Du family and the Xin family had a sworn feud.

He felt inexplicably irritated: "I didn't dare to forget!"

After Xin Zimo finished speaking, Bai Ruyun, who was sitting on the bench, trembled, and slowly turned her head to look at the pair of mother and child.

"Please keep quiet!" The little nurse came out again, and Mother Xin didn't speak. She gave Xin Zimo a hard look, turned and left.

"You better not forget!" Mother Xin seemed to mutter to herself, "Xiaoxue's birthday is a few days later, you should take her out for a walk. You have to remember that most of the credit for your success today is due to the Chi family."

"Auntie, brother Zimo is busy, so you don't need to accompany me." Chi Xue whispered while helping Xin's mother.

"I know it all!" Xin Zimo was obviously impatient.

"Xiaoxue, let's go." Mother Xin didn't want to say any more, she just warned Xin Zimo lightly, "You better not be an ungrateful person!"

Chi Xue helped Xin's mother from the elevator to the advanced ward. Here, only Xin Zimo, Jin Shaonan and Bai Ruyun were left.

Time passed bit by bit, and more and more anxiety appeared on everyone's face.After three o'clock, the door of the operating room opened slowly.

"An Ran!" Xin Zimo and Jin Shaonan almost blurted out at the same time.

There was no response, only the doctor wearing a mask said calmly: "There is no danger for the time being, the patient needs to rest more."

An Ran was immediately sent to the advanced ward arranged by Xin Zimo, while the three of them followed behind.
