As the New Year approached, Du Anran was eager to return. She spent the whole day urging Xin Zimo to go back early so that she could catch the New Year's Eve dinner.
In his heart, Xin Zimo was unwilling to go back. When he went back, he had to face people and things that he did not want to face, but escaping was not the way.
Du Anran had no choice but to accompany Xin Zimo in London to stall for time.
A few days later, when Guo Zi came to the villa, Xin Zimo just happened to go out. Du Anran was alone in the garden, trimming the leaves and branches of a few pots of pine trees. When Guo Zi saw du Anran at the door, he did not make a sound. He only looked at Du Anran, who had her head lowered and was seriously trimming.
She looked much better, and there was a smile on her face. When she lowered her head, her hair just happened to fall down, covering half of her face, making her look even more charming.
Under the Sun, Guo Zi saw the resplendent diamond ring on her hand. No matter which angle he looked at it from, the diamond ring was sparkling with a dazzling luster.
Guo Zi knew that the two of them had probably reconciled, so he walked forward and called Du Anran "Miss Du. ".
Du Anran looked up and saw that it was Guo Zi. She smiled and said, "are you looking for him? He just went out. "
"went out? " Guo Zi said, "that's good. It's the same if I talk to you about some things. "
Du Anran saw that his expression was serious and did not have his usual cheerful style, so she put down the scissors in her hand and brought Guo Zi to the living room.
When the housekeeper saw that Guo Zi had come, she quickly called for him. She served him tea and put in a lot of effort.
"Is it something very important? " Du Anran asked symbolically.
Guo Zi took out a name card from his pocket and placed it in front of Du Anran. "The new year is coming. In the past, the old man was accompanied by Zijun. After Zijun's accident at the beginning of the year, the old man suddenly seemed to have aged dozens of years. He was depressed. "
Du Anran opened the name card. She had seen this card before. The last time someone gave it to Xin Zimo, Xin Zimo asked the housekeeper to throw it away. He was very angry.
Later, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she saw him sitting on the sofa the whole night.
Last time, du Anran did not know who sent it. This time, when she opened the name card in front of her, she found out that it was the old man's invitation. The old man was Xin Zimo's grandfather, but he could only use the name card to invite Xin Zimo to his home.
Unfortunately, even though the old man had lowered his status, Xin Zimo was still unwilling to meet the old man.
"Guo Zi, do you want Zi Mo to meet the old man? " Du Anran understood Guo Zi's intention.
"Yes. " Guo Zi nodded "They are like fire and water. They have been enemies for decades. In the past, I did not dare to care about Xin Zimo, but now it's different. The old man only has one grandson, Xin Zimo. For so many years, he has been feeling guilty. "probably only we know that the old sir misses zimo very much. "
"I know. I once talked to the old sir, and I also understand the state of mind of an old man when he is in his late years. "
"Since Xin Zimo is not here today, you will pass the name card to him. As for whether he agrees to accompany the old sir for the New Year, I think I have done what I should do. The rest is up to him. "
"No matter what, the old sir is still his grandfather. This is undeniable. Since everyone knows that it's been more than ten years of enmity, then after so many years, it's time to resolve it, " du Anran said with a smile "It's okay, leave it to me. "
"Okay. " Guo Zi nodded "My house is very close to the laidu garden where the old man lives. Over the years, many things have been seen in my eyes. The old man misses zimo very much. Even Zijun has always wanted to see his brother, but they could only see Zimo on television and in the newspapers. All these years, Zijun has not even seen Xin Zimo once."
Guo Zi paused, and there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes. "The last time Zimo was shot, he was in a blood bank emergency during the surgery at the hospital. It was the old man who gave him the blood transfusion. Xin Zimo doesn't know about this, and I didn't dare to tell him. "
Du Anran didn't know that there were so many right and wrong in this matter, but she still didn't understand why Xin Zimo and the old man were like fire and water.
She could only ask Guo Zi, "all these years, why does Zimo hate the old man so much? "
"It's all in the past. I was still young at that time, and Zimo was also young. Many things were told to me by my parents later, " Guo Zi said "Zimo's grandmother, Madam Yin, was the old man's first wife. She accompanied the old man to build up the country from scratch. They fought for the world and created a prosperous business empire. You should know all of this. "
Du Anran nodded. She did know all of this. She had heard about it when she was very young. However, after the huge group moved to London, there were no more relevant reports in the country.
When she was young, she was not interested in these business things. However, she did not expect that after more than twenty years, these things would be inextricably linked to her.
This was probably fate. You would not know what kind of earth-shattering changes would happen in the next second, next month, and the next year.
Guo Zi continued, "but not many people knew that the marriage between Madam Yin and the old man was a marriage without love. Madam Yin loved the old man too much, so she asked her father to let her marry the old man. "But the old man had a marriage contract since he was young. He loved his childhood sweetheart, Miss He. "But the Yin family was too powerful, so the old man had no choice but to submit. "
Du Anran didn't know that there was such a love story in that era.
"when the dust settled, the old man had his own business, and Madam Yin gave birth to their son, zimo's father. But unexpectedly, miss he never married. When ZIMO's father was five years old, some major events happened. The Yin family collapsed, completely fell, and Madam Yin's family was destroyed. All her relatives left overnight, dispersed, died, and were imprisoned. Madam Yin had once asked the old man for help, but the old man was still brooding over this marriage. Not only did he not help the Yin family, but he gradually neglected Madam Yin."
Du Anran listened to Guo Zi, and her heart trembled. Madam Yin's experiences were similar to hers.
"Finally, during an argument, the old man got drunk and went to miss he's house. It was probably because he was drunk that something that shouldn't have happened happened. It was also because of that time that miss he became pregnant with Zijun's father. "
Du Anran's face was full of surprise. So, there was such an old story.
"The old man probably always loved miss he, but because he was worried that others would say that he was ungrateful, he didn't Divorce Madam Yin after he found out that miss he was pregnant. Instead, he chose to hide it and sent miss he to London. "
"Madam Yin did not know at first, but the old man became more and more cold towards her. He even frequently borrowed money to go to London on business trips. The paper could not cover the fire. When ZIMO's father was ten years old, Madam Yin finally learned about the cause and effect. As a normal woman, she could not calm down and had a big fight with the old man. The old man was also young and impetuous back then. He did not say anything and gave Madam Yin a divorce agreement and a property notarization. He agreed to give her 40% of the group's shares
"But Madam Yin didn't want anything. She really loved the old man very much. ". "She refused to sign the agreement. She still hoped to keep the old man's heart. ". "But she waited until Zimo was born and Madam Yin herself became a grandmother. This love was still like a withered leaf in the wind. Nothing was left behind. "
"The old man was away from the country all year round. He never looked at Zimo's father. Even after Zimo was born, he didn't rush back from London. ". "I thought this kind of love would continue like this. I didn't expect that in an accident, Madam Yin passed away. She refused to sign the divorce agreement until she died. ". "But just like that, the old man didn't come to see Mrs. Yin one last time. He always hated the Yin family for ruining his love and making miss he never be his wife. "
Du Anran sighed. She sighed. "those who are in the middle of the situation are confused. Sometimes, love is not marriage after all. "
Guo Zi also sighed. "But what caused the conflict between Zimo and the old man to erupt was not the death of Mrs. Yin, but the death of Zimo's father. "It was said that zimo inherited his father's business, but the old man never cared about Zimo's father. Mrs. Yin Never Thought of letting Zimo's father come into contact with commercial vanity. So, Zimo's father studied engineering and became a famous architect after graduation
"when Zimo was eight years old, his father passed away at a young age because of an accident. "although he was his son, the old man still didn't rush back. He only asked someone to send flowers and couplets from abroad. "In the old man's eyes, Zimo's father was born by Mrs. Yin. He didn't love Mrs. Yin, so he definitely didn't love Zimo's father. "
Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo's father's death was inextricably linked to the DU family. In fact, if it wasn't for the DU family, his father wouldn't have died.
When she heard Guo Zi say this, she couldn't help but lower her head.
Although Xin Zimo had clearly told her that he wouldn't pursue this matter any further, he would forget the enmity between the DU and Xin families. But du Anran didn't know that if one day, these past events had to be brought up again, would he really be able to forget it?
Even if the old man didn't return, he could still hold a grudge for twenty years, let alone the DU family... ...
"after Grandma Zimo and father passed away, the old man also completely moved the company that he built in the country back to London. He no longer had any connection with the country. ZIMO's family fell from heaven to hell. During this most difficult time, the old man still did not show up. The Xin family relied on the Chi family's help to tide over the difficulties
"later, Zimo entered the market and learned to survive in the world of fame and fortune. Especially in the past two years, the Xin family was at its peak. They developed the market abroad, especially in London. To a certain extent, the Xin family could be considered to have annexed the old man's company and taken it as their own. "
"No wonder he hated the old man so much. " Du Anran finally understood that this hatred was no less than the hatred towards the DU family.
The blow he gave to the person he hated was that he would give him a taste of his own medicine.
"Old Sir is old now, and miss he has long passed away. When he is alone, how could he not Miss Madam Yin? After all, they have been married for many years. However, all kinds of emotional entanglements are only known to old sir himself. We are all outsiders, there is no need to guess,"Guo Zi said.
"Yes, Leng Nuan knows herself. " Du Anran thought of herself. Between her and Xin Zimo, was it also Leng Nuan who knew herself?
"The old man knows that he's old, especially after what happened to Zijun this year. It's a huge blow to him. Although he still looks as energetic as before, maybe one day... " Guo Zi did not continue.
Du Anran already understood what Guo Zi meant. The old man could not leave with regret for the rest of his life... ...
