i loved you so much

Chapter 14 You are in my heart (3)
"Father, even if you are willing to help her take the blame, you must at least let me know who that person is and why you protect her." An Xiaoduo's eyes were sore and swollen, and she told herself not to cry , "Dad, just like you said just now, you have already implicated me, Li Xiaoan hates me now, I can't be with him in my life, I paid such a big price, can't I ask you for one Is it the truth?"

These words hit An Zhengran, he looked deeply at his daughter, his face paled, after a long time, he stood up tremblingly, and suddenly knelt down on his knees.

An Xiaoduo was taken aback, and pulled his arm subconsciously: "Father, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Get up!"

An Zhengran shook his head slowly: "Xiaoduo, it was Dad who was sorry for you and hurt you, but... I really can't say that I owe that person too much, this is the only thing I can do for her in my life .”

An Xiaoduo looked at her tearful father, feeling ashamed for a moment.

That night An Xiaoduo suffered from insomnia, lying on the bed tossing and turning, she once again recalled all the details of the day Yuan Yuan had an accident.

That day was Saturday, and Yuan Yuan didn't have to go to kindergarten. Li Xiao'an originally promised Yuan Yuan to take him to the aquarium, but he had to go out first because of something else, so she asked her to take Yuan Yuan there, and then went to meet them when he was done.Naturally, she readily agreed, this is a rare opportunity for her to develop a relationship with Yuan Yuan.She got up at [-]:[-], after freshening up, went to Yuanyuan's room to wake him up, dressed him, took him to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then they went downstairs together, Auntie Cen had already heated up the milk and prepared breakfast waiting for them.After breakfast, she received a call from her father before she started the accelerator, asking her what time she would be there, because she would usually visit him on weekends.She told An Zhengran that she wanted to take Yuan Yuan to the aquarium, so she would go to his place again on Sunday.When she hung up the line, she checked the time. It was [-]:[-]. When she arrived at the aquarium, she got off the car. There was a long queue at the entrance of the ticket office, and it was full of parents and children.

After queuing up to buy a ticket, she took Yuan Yuan into the hall, first went to see the dolphin show he was thinking about, and then went to see sea lions and walruses, and then she went to the bathroom and asked Yuan Yuan to wait at the door. It took only 3 minutes before and after, Yuan Yuan It's gone.

Three days later, Yuan Yuan was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment because of pneumonia caused by high fever, and the person who sent him was An Zhengran.When she and Li Xiaoan arrived, Yuan Yuan had already stopped breathing.An Zhengran confessed to kidnapping Yuanyuan himself.

She later recalled an incident. Just half a month before Yuanyuan's accident, one evening, she bought some daily necessities to visit her father—the house that her father rented in the old city area was one of the three-bedroom and one-living suites. Rooms, bathrooms and kitchens are shared.She knew that her father was in financial difficulties, and she wanted to give him money to change to a better house, but he refused no matter what. She tried every means to persuade him to no avail, so she had to take time to visit him more often, and brought some daily necessities with her every time she went. s things.My father has lived alone for a long time, and his personality has become more and more withdrawn. He usually talks to the landlord's son who lives in the next room at most.At that time, he was working as a warehouse clerk in a trading company, and his relationship with his colleagues was quite ordinary. She had never seen anyone come to look for him, but that time, she met a woman at the entrance of the passage, who seemed to be in her 40s. There was a shallow scar on the bone, and as soon as he saw her, he lowered his head and hurried away.

She asked her father who that person was, and her father said that he was looking for other residents, but she noticed that there were slippers at the door of other rented rooms. She had come several times and noticed a pattern—the tenants would change them if they were in the house. Take off your shoes and go in with slippers, which means that other tenants will not be there that day.

If the father lied because he didn't want her to know about his relationship with the woman, then the woman's identity was very suspicious.

Why would the father prefer to go to jail by himself, and would rather sacrifice his daughter's happiness to protect that woman?Who is she?An Xiaoduo opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling until the sky outside turned white.

At [-]:[-], the notification sounded on the phone, An Xiaoduo turned off the alarm clock, got up resignedly, washed up, put on makeup, and went to He Bixi's studio.

Tracy walked in while making a phone call. She was arranging the clothes sent by the advertiser in the cloakroom. She didn't pay attention to what the other party said, until Qin Zheng's name floated into her ears——

Tracy said: "...Yes, Ms. He did not endorse that brand, and the company decided to hand it over to Qin Zheng... Hehe, that's not true. Although it was the company's decision, Ms. He was consulted beforehand. As you know, Ms. He has been busy filming Director Wang's movies recently, so she doesn't have time to take commercials at all... Besides, Qin Zheng is newly signed by the company, and it's reasonable for Ms. He to support the younger generation, so there's nothing to say."

An Xiaoduo was stunned. That night when Qin Zheng went to find Li Xiaoan, she heard clearly what they said in the living room on the second floor.What surprised her was that Li Xiao'an actually helped Qin Zheng get a brand endorsement. The advertiser originally wanted He Bixi. Could it be that his relationship with Qin Zheng is so good?
Thinking of this, An Xiaoduo's heart seemed to be stabbed severely by a needle.

When Li Xiaoan heard Wu Lixuan say that An Zhengran asked to see him, he subconsciously refused, but that trace of curiosity made him think for a few seconds: "I don't want to see this person, so give him the phone."

Wu Lixuan covered the receiver with one hand, and looked at An Zhengran who was sitting across from him: "Mr. Li is very busy and doesn't have time to come over. If you have anything to say, just say it on the phone."

After speaking, he glanced at the warden, and handed the phone to An Zhengran with the other party's acquiescence.

An Zhengran took it over with a tense and dry voice: "Mr. Li."

"Go ahead."

"I..." An Zhengran hesitated to speak, he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, seemingly at a loss.

Wu Lixuan shrugged: "You can turn your back on us."

An Zhengran struggled for a while, and finally turned around: "Mr. Li, does what you said two years ago still count?"

Li Xiaoan sneered: "What I said? I don't remember very well, which sentence are you referring to?"

An Zhengran was silent for a moment, and then said: "You said that as long as I don't see my daughter again, you won't take your anger out on her."

Li Xiaoan said slowly, "Do you think I broke my promise?"

"Mr. Li, I am sorry for you. Although Xiaoduo is my daughter, her mother and I divorced when she was very young. I only met her in Wucheng more than two years ago. I am not a A competent father who has never protected her or loved her, I am not worthy to be her father at all, if she has to bear my sins, then I really might as well die."

"An Zhengran, you should have died a long time ago," Li Xiao'an's voice was cold and serious, "You really don't deserve to be An Xiaoduo's father. You have changed from a death row prisoner to a life sentence. Who do you think gave you a way out? I told you You are your daughter, she knelt in my study all night just to beg me to spare you from dying."

An Zhengran's whole body trembled, and his dull eyes showed great pain.

"An Zhengran, the greatest blessing in your life is to have a daughter like An Xiaoduo, and her greatest misfortune is to have a father like you."

An Zhengran's throat seemed to be blocked by a large ball of cotton, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He moved his Adam's apple with difficulty, but he could only utter an indistinct single sound.

Seeing that he was not in the right state, the warden stretched out his hand and snatched the phone from him, and returned it to Wu Lixuan: "It's almost there, old Wu?"

Wu Lixuan smiled, and looked at his phone, Li Xiaoan had already hung up.He put his phone into his suit pocket, and cast his eyes on An Zhengran, only to see him paralyzed on the spot like a clay sculpture, his eyes glazed over, he was muttering something in his mouth, he seemed to be in a state of madness.

The warden called a prison guard and forcibly sent him back.Wu Lixuan couldn't help frowning as he watched his almost dragged back.

The next day, Wu Lixuan walked into the lawyer's office and saw Xiao Li secretly applying lipstick in front of the small mirror. He joked, "Red Flaming Lips, have a new goal today?"

Xiao Li was startled, looked up and saw him, and cast a charming look over: "Isn't it our BOSS?"

Wu Lixuan came to his senses: "He's back?"

"Well, I saw him there when I came at 08:30." Xiao Li paused, and then said, "It seems that he didn't have a very happy holiday, and his face was sullen early in the morning."

Except for Wu Lixuan, the entire law firm, from other lawyers and partners to mopping the floor and doing odd jobs, all thought that Li Xiaoan was going abroad for vacation during this period.

Wu Lixuan smiled, walked straight to the door of Li Xiaoan's office, knocked on the door, and after getting a response from the person inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Why did you come here today? Are you in good health?" Wu Lixuan looked at his face carefully, thank God, compared with the previous days, his complexion was not too bad after all.

Li Xiaoan moved his eyes away from the document, and glanced at him: "Why did An Zhengran suddenly want to see me? Is there something I don't know?"

Wu Lixuan said, "Xiaoduo went to see him in prison two days ago."

Li Xiaoan raised his eyebrows: "Didn't An Zhengran always refuse to see her?"

"It was arranged by Wu Jianzhong."

Li Xiaoan stared at him without speaking.

After a few seconds, Wu Lixuan added consciously: "It was Mr. Tang's instruction, and he was also a favor."

Li Xiaoan was startled for a moment, then sneered: "Her thoughts have all gone to Old Tang."

Wu Lixuan knew that he was unhappy, so he didn't dare to say anything, and he asked again: "Is there monitoring? Do you know what they said?"

"No, Old Tang sent people to go, Wu Jianzhong will sell him no matter what."

Li Xiaoan frowned even more after hearing this, when Wu Lixuan's cell phone rang, he caught a glimpse of the name on the screen, couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoan, and then pressed the answer button, after listening to the other party, he briefly said Responded "I know".After closing the line, he said, "Old Zhao called. An Zhengran committed suicide by cutting his pulse with a worn-out toothbrush handle last night. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital for rescue in time. He is now out of danger."

Li Xiaoan's temples twitched, An Zhengran's suicide did not bring him any pleasure, on the contrary, he immediately thought of An Xiaoduo, imagining her reaction after knowing the news.

"Does she know?"

Wu Lixuan immediately understood who the "she" he was talking about was: "Probably not yet, the most taboo thing in prisons is that prisoners commit suicide, and the family members will not be notified unless it is absolutely necessary."

Li Xiaoan looked down at the pen on the table and remained silent for a long time.
