give me years of peace

Chapter 266
A few days later, the court suddenly notified Du Anran and Bai Ruyun that the plaintiff had withdrawn the lawsuit.

When receiving the news, Du Anran, mother and daughter both had the same expression, joy and shock.

The sky suddenly became clear, and even the gray haze dissipated.The sun shines on their faces, and they all have a feeling of survival from a desperate situation.

"Mom, don't worry, I just said that Shihe has already dealt with the matter, and if they make trouble again, they will make more progress. The court will definitely give us a fair judgment." Du Anran said happily.

"That's great. The lawsuit came and was withdrawn quickly. Fortunately, it was a false alarm." Bai Ruyun also made up his mind, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been hazy for many days.

"Mom, you can rest assured now, don't be unable to sleep again at night."

"Well, no more, I'm finally relieved." Bai Ruyun said with a smile, "The plaintiff has found his conscience, knowing that Shihe didn't treat them badly."

"I think... I should thank someone..." Du Anran laughed.

"Who is it?" Bai Ruyun saw her smiling mysteriously.

"Xie Chenjin." Du Anran said.

"Really? He probably helped us a lot!"

"Well, so I plan to come to the door to say thank you!"

Du Anran was in a good mood, and as soon as the people from the court left, she ran to the Xie family.During this period of time, she came to the Xie family more frequently, and everyone in the Xie family knew her almost, and even gossiped about the relationship between her and Xie Chenjin.

Most people say that Du Anran is Xie Chenjin's new girlfriend, but Xie's people are generally friendlier than Xin's, probably because Xie Chenjin is usually kinder to others.

Seeing that Du Anran was not putting on airs, most people still greeted her politely.

As soon as she entered Xie Chenjin's office, she thanked him straight to the point. Xie Chenjin was reading the financial newspaper with a cup of coffee.

When he heard her thank you, there was no surprise on his face, but a lukewarm look.

"I'm not happy to say thank you, so I'll treat you to dinner tonight!" Du Anran said.

"You don't need to thank me, I don't need to take credit for myself." Xie Chenjin took a sip of coffee and continued to read the newspaper without looking up.

"What... mean, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, you must have helped me, I can't think of anyone else..."

"Someone rushed to find the plaintiff's representative before me, but it turned out that that person was instigated. As for the details, it would be more appropriate for you to ask Xin Zimo."

Xie Chenjin still didn't raise his head, just after he finished speaking, his heart felt sour.

"Xin Zimo? He...how could he help me?" Du Anran was surprised, "Could it be that he did this?"

"I said, as for the details, it's more appropriate for you to ask him!" Xie Chenjin repeated, with obvious impatience in his tone.

"Oh!" Du Anran knew that Xie Chenjin felt inexplicably impatient when he mentioned Xin Zimo's name, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"But I still want to thank you, let me treat you to dinner!"

"Who should be invited, please don't drag me!" Xie Chenjin was already very impatient.

Du Anran didn't dare to say anything, and left his office, she knew that if he got upset, his face would be as ugly as Xin Zimo's.

She didn't want to look at his face, forget it, he said that Xin Zimo helped her, so she just pretended not to know, lest Xin Zimo make any excessive demands.

On a certain wide road, a red convertible Ferrari was galloping fast on the deserted road.

The surrounding trees were receding at an alarming speed, and the dust was blowing up in bursts.

There was a Mercedes-Benz closely behind the Ferrari. Xin Zimo turned a corner, copied directly from a side road, and crossed in front of the Ferrari at lightning speed.

Chi Xue felt as if she had stepped on the brakes. She looked at Xin Zimo in shock, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Xin Zimo was very calm. He lowered the window and glanced at Chi Xue.

Due to the speed of the car and the wind, Chi Xue's hair was scattered on her face in a mess, and she shouted to Xin Zimo: "Brother Zimo, you are dying!"

"You have to trust my driving skills." Xin Zimo just said indifferently.

"But you know in case I didn't hit the brakes..."

"You have to trust Ferrari performance."

Chi Xue was still in shock, but Xin Zimo was indeed calm.The wind blew into Chi Xue's convertible, blowing her hair, and there was hardly any sound except the wind.

This road is very quiet, so quiet that Chi Xue hallucinated, is it possible that only she and Xin Zimo are left in the whole world.

She just looked at Xin Zimo's side face like this. The firm lines and perfect curvature of his face were still so attractive that she never got tired of watching them.

She is also very beautifully dressed today, a red long-sleeved dress, the color blends with the car, like a red lotus flower blooming in the sky and the earth.

"Why did you chase after me? I just want to relax..." Chi Xue said quietly.

"I just want to relax, and I happen to be on the same road." Xin Zimo looked at her.

"I don't need anyone to accompany me," Chi Xue said.

If it was in the past, Xin Zimo's words would make her heart warm, but now, she has become numb, she is not worthy of Xin Zimo.

"Do you still remember when you were a child, I often took you out of the compound to play around in the wild, which caused us to be scolded by adults."

How could Chi Xue not remember? If it wasn't for her childhood sweetheart, how could she never forget.

For so many years, she has never forgotten him. Even though her age and appearance are changing, her feelings for him have never changed.

It's just a pity that what she loves is him, but what he loves is still not her.

Chi Xue nodded, lost in memory.

At that time, Xin Zimo lived in the same compound with her. She was often forced to recite Tang poems by her father. When he saw that she was absent-minded in reciting, he secretly took her out to play.

He took her along all the streets and alleys of city A, and she never got lost.

At that time, he was her idol, and she marveled that he could remember all the roads at such a young age.

So, on the road of the whole relationship, she has been losing her way, while he has been sober.

"The scenery at that time was very different from what it is now. City A has also undergone earth-shaking changes. If you stay where you are, you will find that you can't keep up with others." Xin Zimo continued.

"I don't need to keep up with others, I just need to follow my own heart." Chi Xue retorted.

"But if your mind is fuzzy, why do you still follow?" Xin Zimo said, "It's like walking in the fog, you can only see a part of the road forever, not the whole."

"But my heart is not fuzzy!"

"We haven't seen each other for 20 years. We were still children at that time. Can a child of a certain age understand what is the future, what is love, and what is responsibility?" Compared to Chi Xue's expression, Xin Zimo was still very calm.

"I was ignorant 20 years ago, but I still love you 20 years later, isn't that enough?"

"For wishful thinking love, your effort and gain will definitely not be in direct proportion. You can definitely manage a relationship that is pleasing to both of you. That is the best answer you can give yourself."

"I can't do it." Chi Xue gritted her teeth.

"It's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't want to try at all."

As if Xin Zimo had exposed the truth, Chi Xue bit her lip, biting deeper.Yes, she just doesn't want to accept others, why so many women can love him, but she can't.

"Brother Mo, why are you unwilling to try to love me?" Chi Xue asked back.

"If I have a love that is gratifying, why should I try something else?" Xin Zimo's face was all indifferent.

Love each other... He and Du Anran?

Chi Xue found it funny, but now she is no longer qualified to laugh at anyone.What kind of face did she have to fall in love with him when that happened in the hotel and was bumped into by him.

"Let go of the past and start again. Spring is here, work hard, and you will get unexpected results." Xin Zimo said to Chi Xue.

"Brother Zimo, I know that now I don't say I won't make you like me, and I don't even have the qualification to stand by your side. But even so, I won't fall in love with others."

"Cui Hao is very good to you, you can try to accept him. He really obeys your words." Xin Zimo changed the subject, his tone was no longer calm, but more mocking.

"He?" Chi Xue sneered, "It's just a shameless playboy who spends all day with women, has no ambitions, spends my money, and does not do business properly. I like this kind of person? "

"He was just confused for a while, not to mention that he is still young. You can try to make him change, instead of abetting him and letting him go further and further astray."

"Brother Zimo, it seems that you know everything. Why, do you feel distressed? I just let Cui Hao play with Du Anran." Chi Xue showed a bit of disdain.

"I've told you many times that you are not allowed to touch Du Anran." Xin Zimo's tone was harsh, and he looked directly at Chi Xue with sharp eyes.

"Not allowed? What if I want to touch it? Brother Zimo, you would rather make me sad and hopeless than let her suffer. You are really partial."

"If you dare to touch her, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a sister." He only showed mercy when she called him "brother". If it were someone else, he would have died countless times.

"Brother Zimo, do you care about her so much? But from my point of view, she doesn't seem to care about you that much, does she? Are you afraid that when she marries another man in the future, all your sacrifices and harvests will not be proportional?" Chi Xue said in a tone There are also more sneers.

"There won't be such a day!" Xin Zimo said firmly.

"Brother Zimo, your self-confidence is just a mask for others to see. I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide whether there will be such a day." Chi Xue sneered.

"Hasn't anyone told you that in City A, as long as I want to have the final say, no one can stop me?"
