The wealthy ex-wife of the president

Chapter 182
While recalling the past, Si Lan walked to the end of the long corridor, stopped when he saw the half-hidden office, and couldn't help but push open the door and walk in.In a small space, there is nothing but a set of bookcases against the wall, an old table with almost peeling paint, and a chair.There were still a few discarded papers on the dusty table, and the floor was also full of dust. It seemed that no one had been in for a long time.

This is Dean Chen's office, why is it left unused like this?Even if you dislike the small space, it doesn't mean you don't even do the cleaning work.

It hurts in my heart, it's really cold. Once Dean Chen left, even the place where she used to work was forgotten.

Si Lan couldn't bear it, and turned around to get tools to clean up the office, but a familiar face met him: "Grandma Zhu."

"You are……"

"Si Lan!" A smile appeared on Si Lan's face, and he gestured a few times: "I lived here when I was young, and I like the one who grabs the corner of your clothes when I walk."

"Oh..." Granny Zhu thought for a long time, and finally realized: "You are the blue girl! I didn't expect you to grow up so fast, and I haven't seen you for several years. Dean Chen said that you married a rich man , I thought you wouldn't come back until you died."

Si Lan didn't explain how he lived those years, but just held her arm and slowed down his tone: "Grandma Zhu didn't expect you to be still in the orphanage."

"Where can I go if I'm not in the orphanage? Anyway, I'm a lonely old man. I can still move and watch the children here, wash the dishes. It's not idle, at least there are children with me here." Granny Zhu said with emotion Said, "I didn't expect to see you again!"

Granny Zhu was here a long time ago, probably earlier than Dean Chen. She was only in charge of the kitchen in the orphanage, but the children all liked her cooking.I didn't expect her to be here even at her age.

"Grandma Zhu, why did you leave Dean Chen's office unused? Even if you don't need it, it's okay to clean it up and put things away once in a while." Si Lan asked puzzled.Even if others can forget Dean Chen, Granny Zhu probably won't. She has a very good relationship with Dean Chen.

"Do you think we have forgotten Xiao Chen? No way!" Grandma Zhu waved her withered hands, leaving only a layer of skin and bones, veins protruding like traces of a dry river... "It's Xiao Chen Chen herself said not to touch her office after she left, just leave it like this."

"Dean Chen said it himself?" Si Lan was surprised, it was impossible.Dean Chen is the most frugal, how could someone vacate her office and not allow it to be used.

"Yes, she told me herself!" Granny Zhu confirmed again: "I remember the night she left, she gave all the things she could use to others during the day, and threw away all her own things! She Said that I have to go to a far place to start again, and I don’t need these. But there are important memories of her in the office, and she doesn’t want others to use them, so she asked me to watch and not let others occupy them. And ah, I also deliberately Tell me not to clean it!"

"You say this little Chen is strange, isn't it strange? When I came here, I said I would do it for the rest of my life. I have been here for so many years, and I left as soon as I said it. I still want my old bones to help her look at this dilapidated house."

Si Lan turned his head slowly, his eyes wandered in the small space, and he was puzzled. Why is this office not allowed to be used by other people if there is any important memory of Dean Chen?

Grandma Zhu sighed, as if she had thought of something, she said again: "That's right! I remembered! Xiao Chen also said that if Lan girl can't find me when she comes back, let her sit in this office for a while. Maybe you can understand how I feel."

Surprise flashed across Si Lan's water eyes: "President Chen really said that?"

"Silly girl! Can Granny Zhu lie to you?" Granny Zhu clapped her hands, then let go of her hands with a smile: "I'll get you a rag to wipe it, otherwise you won't be able to sit."

Granny Zhu left in a faltering manner...

Si Lan froze in place, staring at the office all the time, thinking about Granny Zhu's words...

If Lan girl can't find me when she comes back, I will tell her to sit in this office for a while, maybe I can understand her mood.

Did Dean Chen know that Lan Sichen wanted her heart, that's why she had such a heavy and complicated expression on her face when she said she wanted to marry Lan Sichen? She knew Lan Sichen's goal was His own heart, that's why he appeared in the hospital.

Si Lan couldn't help covering his heart, the stinging pain swept over him, he couldn't express the pain, he didn't know if it was the pain from the scar from four years ago, or the pain in his heart...

She bit her lip subconsciously, and strode into the office the next second. No matter how thick the dust was or how many cobwebs there were, she just grabbed the paper on the table and looked at it. It was useless and discarded.

Bending down to open the drawer, there is nothing empty, open the cabinet under the desk, there is nothing but some books and photos...

Si Lan froze, her hands were pressed on the table, her white fingers were full of dust and dirt, she didn't care.For the first time, there were turbulent waves in the deserted eyes. Thinking of something, she suddenly turned her head to look at the bookcase against the wall behind her, and immediately opened the bookcase. The books inside were messed up by her, and some of them fell on the floor...

Dean Chen, what do you know?Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you just tell me?What secret are you hiding?
Si Lan rummaged through things irrationally, eager to know the answer in his heart, but he couldn't find anything.The cabinet under the bookcase was also searched, but there was nothing. Si Lan's eyes scanned the surroundings, but there was nothing except the bookcase and the table.

and also--

Si Lan's eyes fell on the shoe cabinet at the door. It was a small shoe cabinet. She rushed to open the shoe cabinet. There was a rancid smell in her nostrils. She frowned and looked through it.

Nothing but a few worn-out loafers and a large shoebox.She picked up the shoe box, felt something was wrong with the weight, and immediately opened the shoe box——

What is contained in the shoe box is not shoes, but a black iron box, which is locked with a rusty lock.

Is this the tin box that Dean Chen handed over to him?
Si Lan threw away the shoebox, took the tin box, walked slowly to the desk and put the tin box on the table, stared at the tin box tightly, and almost held his breath nervously.

What exactly is it pretending here? Is it Dean Chen's secret, or is it about his own life experience?
Dean Chen just asked himself to find the iron box, but the iron box has a lock, so what about the key?where is the key

Many pictures flashed in her mind, and she still captured one picture!Before, I gave myself a key, saying that Dean Chen asked me to give it to myself before he died...

Dean Chen also said that no matter what happens, keep Qin's heart alive!
Si Lan hurriedly found the key from her pocket. After getting the key, she never left her, and kept it close to her body all the time.She didn't know what the key was used for before, but it turned out that Dean Chen wanted to open the iron box with the key...

Did she put all the answers in this iron box?

The hand holding the key was trembling. Facing the iron box that he couldn't wait to find, Si Lan hesitated at this moment...

Does anyone know what is in this box?Is it the answer that has puzzled her for a long time, or is it a Pandora's box?
Looking at the tin box, Si Lan could only think of Dean Chen. When he got sick when he was young, he would take care of him. When he was sad, he would be comforted by Dean Chen. If he had any good things, he would secretly give them to him, for fear of others of young children know they will be bullied.Even at night she was the only child who could sleep with the dean.

Even my own life was given by President Chen...

Dean Chen's heart was beating vividly in his body...

"Dean Chen, everything you want to tell me is here, isn't it?" Si Lan murmured, his voice a little choked up: "Why does your heart suit me? Why do you want to save me? Why do you know I'm going to die... ...all the answers are here, aren't they?"

"Dean Chen... are you really my mother?"

Si Lan didn't dare to think, if Dean Chen was really her biological mother, why did she put herself in the orphanage, and why didn't she recognize her?

The key in his hand was inserted into the lock hole, turned gently, and with the crisp sound of trembling fingertips, the lock was unlocked...

Slowly took the lock and put it aside, touched the cold iron box with his fingers, and gradually opened it——004:

Si Lan opened the iron box, his body stiffened for a moment, and he stared at the iron box incredulously, unbelievably——

How could this be?How could this be?
There was nothing in the opened iron box—nothing!
——The iron box is actually empty!
Si Lan didn't understand why, Dean Chen hid the iron box in the shoe box, presumably there must be something important in it, not to mention it was locked with a lock, and the key was handed over to him.

Now the iron box is in its original position, and the key is the key to unlock it, but how can the iron box be empty?

It is impossible for Dean Chen to leave an empty iron box for himself!
What the hell is going on here.

Holding a wet rag, Grandma Zhu saw that the office was turned into a mess by Si Lan, and she asked in puzzlement, "What are you looking for? Why is it so messy!"

Si Lan immediately turned around, grabbed Granny Zhu's hand nervously and asked, "Grandma Zhu, have you ever taken the things in the iron box? Did you also go through the office?"

"What's the office, what's the iron box?" Granny Zhu looked puzzled, grabbed her hand and said nervously, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"

Grandma Zhu didn't know, she didn't take the things, if she didn't want her to find it, she wouldn't tell.So who is it, who took the contents of the iron box...

Who knew that Dean Chen would leave an iron box here for himself, and who took it away!

Si Lan's eyes were full of confusion and incomprehension. Looking back at the empty iron box, there was nothing there, and the answer that was originally ready to come out disappeared in an instant.It's like a person who has walked into a dead end, and obviously can get out of it with one more step, but he turns around, and there is another wall in front of him, blocking all the road ahead.

"Girl Lan, are you okay? Don't scare me!" Granny Zhu looked at Si Lan with worried eyes, since she watched the child grow up anyway.

Si Lan came back to his senses, his watery eyes dimmed, he held Granny Zhu's hand tightly and asked, "Besides telling me about this, who else did you tell?"

"No more!" Granny Zhu replied with certainty: "Except for you and me and Xiao Chen, absolutely no one else knows about this."

Si Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her sincerely: "Grandma Zhu, you are so old, don't be in an orphanage anymore. I will arrange for you to go to a good place, where someone will take care of you and accompany you. won't leave you alone."
