give me years of peace

Chapter 57 I Won't Let Go
Sure enough, Xiao Qingqing was already waiting for him in the reception room on the 36th floor. She felt that Xin Zimo had changed. Before, she could come to him without saying hello, but now, his secretary would stop her and reject her up...

"What do you want from me?" Xin Zimo didn't invite her to his office, but sat directly in the reception room.

"Can you... take a set of wedding photos with me..." Xiao Qingqing almost begged, her eyes full of longing.

"Last time you asked me to accompany you to choose a wedding dress, I went. Now, I can't agree to this request!"

"I just want to take a wedding photo with the person I love the most, even though I know that he may not love me..." In fact, from the first day of their cooperation, she should understand that they can become partners in the mall , but could not become a partner in marriage, she has always been obsessed with it.

But she knew it was an obsession, but she still cherished every time she spent with him until he brutally told the truth...

"Impossible!" Rejected firmly, Xin Zimo got up and was about to leave, "If there is nothing else, I have to go to work."

"Xin Zimo!" Facing his back, she shouted, "Did you really never love me?"

Xin Zimo stood there for a few seconds, then went to his office without looking back.

"You are unkind first, don't blame me for being unrighteous..." Xiao Qingqing stood on the spot, looked at his receding back, and whispered, "What I can't get, others will never get it either!"

After returning to the office, Xin Zimo didn't dare to rest for a moment. He was busy with business, so he called Sun Ping directly: "Sun Ping, has the project of Jinpan Garden started?"

"Already working."

"Well, the southernmost piece of land, give me an order to change the plan and change it to a commercial building."

"What? Mr. Xin, didn't you always want to keep that piece of land for the garden plan of City A?"

"Business buildings or gardens, which one do you think is easier to finance?"

"But... didn't you say that that piece of land is Miss Du's favorite? She has always said that she wants to build a garden, which seems to be her father's last wish..."

"Miss Du? Which Miss Du? Do as I say, and, three days later, give me a complete plan and hold a city-wide press conference!"

After hanging up the phone, Xin Zimo looked at the wall in front of him without saying a word.He wanted to see if she could hold her breath for a few days.She can agree to other men's marriage proposals, but she must pay the price.

Sun Ping did not dare to disobey Xin Zimo's order, so he found someone overnight to start designing drawings and drafting proposals.Although the three days were in a hurry, Sun Ping knew that what Xin Zimo wanted was just the press conference.

In private, Sun Ping could only sigh, this time the matter of Du Anran and Jin Shaonan really irritated Mr. Xin.

As a staff member of the newspaper, Du Anran learned of this incident two days later, and was more indignant than shocked.At the beginning, no one was competing with the world for this project, so she specially asked people to change the southernmost piece of land into a garden plan, just to fulfill a last wish of her father Du Yuanheng...

Her father wanted to see the most beautiful place in City A to build a garden in his lifetime, so that everyone could have a panoramic view of the most beautiful scenery in City A.

It's a pity that her father left with this regret, but she couldn't help him complete it.

Later, Shihe had difficulty in cash flow, so she agreed to transfer the Jinpan Garden project, but the condition of the transfer was that the land must be as planned.

Later, Xin Zimo resolutely offered a high price to buy it, and he promised Du Anran swearingly that he would follow her idea and would not change a single thing.However, at that juncture, the mayor fell ill and returned to his hometown.

The project has been delayed. Until now, Xin Zimo has obtained the entire project as he wished, but he has forgotten what he said at the beginning...

But she can't forget, and she doesn't dare to forget.

Jin Shaonan, who was also at the newspaper office, already knew about this, but he didn't know that this land was Du Anran's father's favorite place.He didn't take the matter of the press conference to heart, so he didn't notice Du Anran's unusual expression.

The night before the press conference was about to be held, Du Anran deliberately stayed late to get off work, and sent Jin Shaonan and Liu Wanwan away.

While walking anxiously on the road, she finally mustered up the courage to call Xin Zimo.

"Where are you? I have something to look for you." She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be calm.

"I happened to be waiting for you in the office." Xin Zimo in the office curled his lips with an imperceptible smile on his face.

Du Anran rushed to Xin Zimo's office as quickly as possible, and the moment her eyes met his, sparks flew everywhere. "Why change the plan?" She asked straight to the point.

"That piece of land is mine now, and I can modify it as I like!" Xin Zimo closed the document in front of him with a "snap", and looked directly into Du Anran's eyes.

"You promised me that other plans can be changed, but that piece of land will never change."

"Then Miss Du, did we sign a document or a contract? Since there is nothing, I have enough power to move that land."

"Do all the promises have proof? How can you not keep what you promised me..." Du Anran's face was already full of despair.

"I promised you many things, such as marrying you, such as loving you for the rest of my life, you... don't you take it all seriously?" Xin Zimo stood up and moved closer to her.

"Your promise, I can take it as a joke, but the promise of this land, I hope you can fulfill it, and treat it as helping my father fulfill a wish..."

"Your father?" Xin Zimo suddenly showed cruelty in his eyes, and grabbed Du Anran's neck, forcing her to breathe, "In front of me, never mention your father!"

Du Anran's face was flushed, she couldn't speak at all, she was struggling with pain, the more she struggled, the more she had no way out.

Seeing her getting weaker, he let go of his hand.Staring at the strangle marks that appeared on her neck instantly, for some reason, his heart was aching.

"Cough...cough..." Du Anran felt uncomfortable for a while, she knelt down and couldn't help coughing.

In the whole huge office, there were only Xin Zimo's restless panting and Du Anran's coughing. After a long time, Du Anran squatted on the ground with his knees folded, and said calmly, "What exactly do you need to carry out the original plan?"

Xin Zimo left the spot and walked in front of her a few steps. He also squatted down and stared at her face quietly.He lifted her chin and pinched her so painfully: "Please."

"Impossible, don't even think about it!" When Shihe was bankrupt and desperate, she never begged him, just because after she knew his true face, he became a despicable person in her heart.

"Really?" Xin Zimo sneered, with deep meaning on his lips, "Then when tomorrow's press conference starts, you will never even think about this land. Even if my heart softens at that time, it will never be possible to return to the original place What's more, in the eyes of everyone, commercial buildings are far more practical than gardens, and the number of people who support me can only be more and more..."

"Then I'll think of other ways!" Du Anran shook off his hand and stood up stubbornly.
