give me years of peace

Chapter 53 Hongmen Night Banquet
When President Yang cautiously asked Xin Zimo if he needed Du Anran to come over, Xin Zimo almost didn't even think about it, so he denied it.

He wondered if the relationship between them should really end...

When Liu Wanwan arrived at the Xin's Building, Xin Zimo happened to be free. Looking at the cold and expressionless man in front of her, she shuddered from the bottom of her heart.She couldn't understand how a young and generous woman like An Ran could fall in love with such a scheming old man...

"My time is limited, I hope you can do it as soon as possible." Xin Zimo looked at Liu Wanwan, is she Du Anran's friend?
"Oh!" Liu Wanwan hurried back to his senses, but met Xin Zimo's cold eyes all of a sudden, and couldn't help but shudder.

After asking a few polite questions, which were nothing more than future plans and development prospects, Xin Zi answered them concisely and concisely.Liu Wanwan saw that although Xin Zimo was indifferent, she cooperated, so after she finished asking the question, she boldly interjected: "Mr. Xin, have you really had no feelings for Sister An Ran in the past two years?"

Probably not realizing that Liu Wanwan would ask such a question, he paused: "I just haven't learned how to love someone."

Liu Wanwan blinked, half understanding, didn't ask any more questions, packed up his things and prepared to leave.Instead, Xin Zimo waved his hand: "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Liu Wanwan did not refuse, but nodded, curiously waiting for Xin Zimo's next words.

"Forget it, I won't be able to finish it in a while. Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, you go to the Moonlight Restaurant and wait for me. I'll reserve a seat in advance." Xin Zi thought for a while, but stopped talking.

Liu Wanwan reckoned that it was related to Du Anran, so she agreed without thinking too much.

After sending Liu Wanwan away, Xin Zimo stood on the 36th floor and looked down, as cars passed by on the elevated road outside the building.He picked up his phone again and pressed a series of familiar numbers.

Du Anran was very surprised when she received Xin Zimo's call. At that time, she was sorting out a manuscript and was already very busy. When she saw Xin Zimo's call again, she instinctively rejected it.

But Xin Zimo was quite patient. He failed to get through once, and started the second, third, and fourth times...until Du Anran pressed answer helplessly.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, Moonlight Restaurant, I'll treat you to dinner." Xin Zimo said bluntly and indifferently.

"I'm not free tomorrow night."

"Whether you are free or not is up to you. At seven o'clock, I will wait for you on time."

"Then you just wait alone!" Du Anran was very angry, why did he always behave like this, never caring about her feelings, did he really treat her like a doll?

"I just want to talk to you about your uncle Du Yuantong. If you don't have time, forget it."

"Uncle?" Du Anran was startled. Although she would call her uncle once a week, she really hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Moonlight Restaurant, seven o'clock, don't make me wait too long."

Xin Zimo didn't wait for Du Anran's reply, and hung up the phone directly. He knew that she would definitely come, and he had already mastered all her psychology. Don't give up.

He has been trying his best to be her relative, her dearest person, but the harder he tries, the farther away he gets...

The next night, Du Anran left the newspaper after work and went to the Moonlight Restaurant, which was where she and Jin Shaonan often ate, but today, she wanted to be with Xin Zimo.

When I arrived at the reserved seat, it was exactly [-]:[-], but the seat was empty.Xin Zimo said to wait for her, but there was no one.

Du Anran had no choice but to sit on the seat and wait for him.

Under a camphor tree outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Xin Zi stared at Du Anran silently, her every move fell into his eyes.He hid in the dark and made a phone call.

"Give my special red wine on the 26th and 45th seats."

Seat 26, with curved willows, is holding up a cup and drinking the wine in it in one gulp.Opposite her, sat Jin Shaonan.

"President...you think Mr. Xin hasn't come yet..." Liu Wanwan was already drunk, waiting too anxiously, he couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

"Wait a little longer. He said he had something to talk to the newspaper, his tone doesn't sound like a joke." Jin Shaonan also drank the wine in the glass in front of him.Xin Zimo called him yesterday. He didn't want to go to any of Xin Zimo's appointments, but it was related to work and the newspaper office. After weighing it, he came over anyway.

"I thought she was going to ask me about Sister An Ran..." Liu Wanwan couldn't hide his words at all, but after drinking this time, he became even more outspoken.

I don't know why the strength of this red wine is so high, after a few cups, Liu Wanwan couldn't bear it any longer, and she sat beside Jin Shaonan under the twilight of drunkenness.

In fact, from the first time she met Jin Shaonan at Jin's house, Liu Wanwan had a good impression of Jin Shaonan, and after spending many days with the newspaper office, she knew that Jin Shaonan was a gentleman and humble.It's just that Jin Shaonan fell in love with Sister An Ran a long time ago, and she has been suppressing her feelings until now, she desperately sat beside him.

Xin Zimo in the dark raised the corners of his lips, as expected, wine can mess up sex.He walked into the Moonlight Restaurant from the corner, Du Anran was still waiting alone, and curled his lips when he finally came.

"Do you know where my uncle is?" Du Anran asked straight to the point.

Xin Zimo took no time to rush and filled Du Anran with red wine: "I haven't seen you in a few days, let's have a drink first."

Du Anran gulped it down, and said lightly, "I don't want you to lie to me again!"

"Anyway, I'm a liar in your eyes, so what if one more time?" Xin Zimo smiled mockingly.

"You!" Du Anran realized that she had been tricked again, she was furious, stood up and wanted to leave.

"Okay, you drink this glass of wine, and I'll tell you where Du Yuan is."

Du Anran drank up the red wine in the glass with a skeptical attitude, and lit the bottom of the glass: "Now can we talk about the business?"

"Du Yuantong borrowed 100 million from an underground bank a few days ago, and lost all the bets. He was beaten for several hours and almost died." Xin Zimo didn't show any expression, he just drank the red wine in his glass silently.

No wonder there has been no news from my uncle for several days... Du Anran frowned: "Then where is my uncle now?"

"Drug rehabilitation center." Xin Zimo said calmly, "He was beaten to death, probably because of his life, just happened to be a policeman passing by and took his life. Now he is taken to the drug rehabilitation center for compulsory detoxification."

An uncontrollable sourness surged in Du Anran's heart. She drank a few sips of red wine, choking until tears flowed out. She was not good at drinking, so she looked very pale and pale. Dejected.

"Xin Zimo!" She called his name, "My uncle's today is all thanks to you!"

"Hands and feet are on his body. I don't like to hear you say that." Xin Zimo looked at her quietly while holding a glass of wine. Compared with her embarrassment, he looked elegant and noble.

Wherever Xin Zimo's eyes touched, Liu Wanwan had already been in a daze, lying drunk in Jin Shaonan's arms several times, although he was pushed away by Jin Shaonan, after all, Jin Shaonan also drank his wine After pushing and shoving again and again, he was also in a drunken state.

"Tell me, which drug rehabilitation center?" Du Anran resisted the sourness.

"Actually, compared to this question, I think you are more interested in here..." Xin Zimo spoke halfway, and looked at Liu Wanwan and Jin Shaonan with full attention.

Following his gaze, bypassing several decorative plants, she saw Liu Wanwan and Jin Shaonan who hadn't noticed before!
At this moment, Liu Wanwan was lying drunk in Jin Shaonan's arms, with a charming smile on his face.Liu Wanwan was already a lovely person, after a few glasses of wine, a beautiful blush appeared on his face, which made people's heart flutter even more.
