It was the hottest time of August. The bright sunlight shone on the glass wall of the XIN building, refracting the beautiful light.
Du Anran almost jogged all the way. When her eight-inch black high heels touched the cold ground, the empty corridor immediately left a series of "Dong Dong" sounds.
"Miss, you can't go in. " At the door of the president's office, as expected, a young secretary stopped Du Anran.
"I'm looking for Xin Zimo. Either let me in or let him out. " Du Anran knew that he was inside.
When the secretary heard her name, she showed a surprised expression. She did not know what relationship the woman in front of her had with President Xin, so she did not dare to offend him. Just when she was at a loss, the remote control door of the office slowly opened.
"Let her in. " The low and slightly cold voice made du Anran's heart sink into the ice cellar.
The door slowly closed and du Anran stood in front of Xin Zimo, but the man in front of her did not even raise his head. A ray of afternoon sunlight shone on his clean and neat white shirt. The office was eerily quiet, and only the sound of Xin Zimo flipping through documents could be heard.
"What do you mean? ''
Du Anran took out the court summons that she had read countless times and threw it on Xin Zimo's desk. She could not believe her eyes.
Yes, he had sued her in court. A month ago, they were inseparable lovers. They would watch the sea together, watch the sunrise together, sit side by side on the balcony to watch the fireworks, and fantasize about the future. However, in just a short month, they had become extremely jealous enemies.
A trace of bitterness filled her heart. In this month, the stars had changed and the world had changed. The current her had nothing. When she received the Flyer and rushed to the Xin Corporation building to look for him, she almost fainted. She did not know what supported her to stand in front of him.
"Do you not understand the words? " Xin Zimo did not raise his head and only asked in a cold voice.
Du Anran had always thought that she was calm and composed, but this self-righteousness had been defeated by Xin Zimo time and time again. She stared at the man's side profile and could not believe that this was the lover she had been with day and night.
There was a ray of light shining on Xin Zimo's face. From du Anran's point of view, he did not change at all. His handsome face and indifferent lips, but his brows had been tightly knitted.
"Shihe doesn't owe you anything! " Du Anran suppressed the anger in her heart. Her shihe company did not owe the Xin Corporation anything, and where did the rumor of a huge debt on the subpoena come from.
Two months ago, after her uncle was caught in the casino, she had a vague feeling that something was going to happen. At that time, she carefully managed Shihe Construction Company and did not sleep well for a few nights. But even so, something happened to Shihe.
From the company's Network being hacked for no reason, to the client list being stolen in large numbers, to the construction site accident, wave after wave of disasters, Du Anran could not handle it. She remembered that these matters were handed over to her personal secretary, Xiao Qingqing. However, ever since Shihe's accident, Xiao Qingqing had also disappeared without a trace.
This month, Shihe construction company had declared bankruptcy. Du Anran was already exhausted. Just as she wanted to ask Xin Zimo for help, he gave her an ice-cold court summons.
When she was the center of attention, he approached her, but when she had nothing, he pushed her into the abyss.
"whether you owe or not, it's not up to you! " Xin zimo closed the folder with a "PA" sound. When he looked at Du Anran, his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Back then, you borrowed money from Shihe under the name of the Xin Corporation. If I remember correctly, it should be a total of 7.5 million yuan. Now, not only did you not return the money to Shihe, you even said that Shihe owed the Xin Corporation 11 million yuan. What an ingrate!"It was the first time Du Anran said such heavy words And it was to the person she used to love the most.
When the Xin Corporation was just starting out, it was difficult to turn over funds. She was the one who had been helping him, and this was how he repaid her.
"You should save these words for the court. " Xin Zimo stood up and glanced at the subpoena on the table. "I advise Miss Du to keep the subpoena well, in case you don't remember the court date. "
Du Anran's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. "Why did you kick her when she was down? "
"Kick her when she was down? " Xin zimo lowered his head and stared into Du Anran's eyes. They were very close, just like the countless days that had passed. He could smell the faint fragrance of flowers in her hair. "Yes. I'm not in a good mood to be kind to women. "
Du Anran was stunned. He... ... Was it the Xin Zimo that she knew ? Or, he had disguised himself too well in the past, and she had never seen through him ...
"okay... " her eyes lost their luster. She dejectedly took back the subpoena on the table and sobbed. "In that case, Mr. Xin, I'll see you in court... "
From then on, you and I were just passers-by.
She avoided his gaze. When she walked past him, she smelled the faint smell of tobacco on his shirt. He said that he never smoked. Du Anran shook her head. She really had never seen Xin Zimo clearly. Had He ever told her the truth.
But now, with the rising status of the Xin family, she had almost no chance of winning this lawsuit. Then, could she pay the debt?
Even after deducting the 7.5 million that Xin zimo owed to the world, then... ... There was still 3.5 million left. When would she be able to pay it back ...
Xin Zimo... ... was trying to force her into a corner ...
Just as her mind was blank and she staggered forward, suddenly, her vision went dark and her body fell limply to the ground.
She was so tired... ...
"SOMEONE! " In her hazy vision, she seemed to hear Xin zimo shouting in a hoarse voice... ...
When she woke up, she was already in a hospital.
Her head was in pain, as if a stone had hit it. Du Anran struggled to sit up. She accidentally moved her hand and saw that there was a needle inserted into the back of her hand, and the drip was slowly flowing along the thin tube.
"nurse, nurse... "
"Hello, what can I do for you? " A young nurse came up to her.
"I want to leave... " Du Anran struggled to pull out the needle. There was still a mess waiting for her to clean up. How could she waste time here.
"You can't pull it out! " The nurse hurriedly held du Anran's hand "There's still half a bottle left. If you pull it out, there won't be any effect. When you were sent here, your face was Pale. You have to persevere no matter what. If there's anything, I'll help you do it. "
"What a coincidence. Isn't this Miss Du? " Before du Anran could continue speaking, a familiar voice suddenly appeared at the door.
"Xiao Qingqing? " Du Anran looked forward and was shocked. Why was she here... ... Ever since the accident at the company a month ago, she had disappeared and never appeared again. Why was she here now ... After all, she had been looking for her for a long time. There were many things that she wanted to ask her about ...
Xiao Qingqing walked in half-twisting. The current her did not seem to be the Xiao Qingqing that Du Anran knew. In the past, Xiao Qingqing did not put on any makeup and was gentle and capable. However, the woman in front of her now had heavy makeup and was wearing a red dress that wrapped around her chest. Half of her long hair was lazily draped over her chest, revealing her charm.
"nurse, thank you. You can go back to your work. " Du Anran sent the nurse away and looked at Xiao Qingqing in confusion.
"I know what you want to ask. " Xiao Qingqing moved her feet. She wore a pair of 12-inch high heels today and stood in front of the hospital bed. She looked down from above and was quite imposing.
"Yes, then tell me, how did Shihe's information get leaked? " One had to know that she had always trusted Xiao Qingqing. Many important matters were handled by Xiao Qingqing. All along, there had been no mistakes, but this time, one mistake actually cost the entire company.
"because I like Zimo, " Xiao Qingqing said with a frivolous smile. "He said he wanted to annex Shihe, so I helped him. It's very simple. Well, he also said that he would take me to a networking event tonight to get to know a few socialites and gentlemen. "
"What? " Du Anran did not expect such an answer. It turned out that Xin Zimo had been coveting Shihe for a long time.
When she had lent Xin Zimo money, her uncle had advised her that they were enemies in the same industry. She was undoubtedly raising a tiger as a threat. She did not listen and stubbornly helped Xin Zimo, but now... ... He approached her not because he loved her ...
She was really stupid and incurable.
"Miss Du. " Xiao Qingqing suddenly squatted down and looked at Du Anran, whose face was Pale. "Don't you know that I have always hated you? "
Du Anran looked at the hideous woman in front of her, and a sense of strangeness and Fear Rose In her heart.
"Ah! " Just as she was stunned, Xiao Qingqing suddenly pulled the needle out of Du Anran's hand. A stream of blood mixed with drops flowed down the back of her hand.
"What are you doing? " Just as Xiao Qingqing turned around, she bumped into Xin Zimo, who had come to the ward. His voice was cold.
Du Anran thought that Xin Zimo had seen Xiao Qingqing's behavior, but she realized that he was blaming her.
"Zimo, Du Anran insisted on pulling out the needle. I just got here, and she's already like this... " Xiao Qingqing looked worried. "I'll go find the nurse! " She ran out after saying that.
The bleeding had stopped, but du Anran did not want to see this adulterous couple in cahoots anymore. She made up her mind and struggled out of the bed.
"It's okay if you don't want your life. " Xin zimo watched her do all this indifferently. "But the DU family must pay this debt! "
"Xin zimo! " Du Anran stood in front of him and said angrily, "YOU'RE HEARTLESS! "
How could he say such words? She had really misjudged him. She had actually thought that he loved her, but in the end, he had lied to her. He had even said that he would get married this winter, but the big gift he had given her was really too heavy. She could not afford it... ...
Thinking of this, Du Anran remembered the diamond ring on her hand. He had proposed to her at the beginning of the year and had given it to her. He had said that he would pamper her for the rest of her life, and he had even said that he would only treat her well.
How could she believe what he had said... ...
Du Anran wanted to cry, but she had never cried in front of anyone before. Moreover, this person was Xin Zimo.
She resolutely took off the ring She threw it on the ground. "Xin Zimo, pretend that we have never met. If you insist on fighting this lawsuit, I know that you will definitely win. Then, I will think of a way to return the money. Don't come and disturb my life again. Besides... ... I hope that you and Xiao Qingqing will grow old together. Don't let anyone down again!"
Du Anran left very quickly and did not look back. On the other hand, Xin Zimo's dark eyes were bottomless. After standing for a long time, he slowly bent down, picked up the diamond ring, and remained silent.
