There was a white couplet on the door. Du Anran looked at the door. She did not know if Xiao Qingqing and her mother were inside.
Cold Sweat had already formed on her back. Her hand that was holding the safe was also drenched in sweat. Just as she was staring at the door in front of her, the door opened with a creak.
The dust on the door immediately fell, as if it had been sealed for hundreds of years.
"Come in with me! " What surprised Du Anran was that the person in front of her was not Xiao Qingqing, but he Yuguang.
Du Anran had seen he Yuguang before. She had met him a few times at the Xin Corporation. He often followed Xin Zimo to various occasions. It was said that he was the vice president of the Xin Corporation.
But why was he here?
Du anran suddenly thought of the gloominess on Xin Zimo's face these days, and Sun Ping's reluctance to talk. There were also several board meetings before. The Word Xin Zimo had said was "not good" .
She knew that he Yuguang was in charge of the accounts at the Xin Corporation. Before going to London, Xin Zimo had shown her the Xin Corporation's reports. There was a big problem.
All of this told Du Anran that he Yuguang had betrayed Xin Zimo.
"where's Xiao Qingqing? " Du Anran did not move, but she still asked.
"Come in when I tell you to! " He Yuguang scolded in a deep voice.
Du Anran did not know what the relationship between he Yuguang and Xiao Qingqing was. How did they end up together. In fact, she was kept in the dark about a lot of things. Just like when Xiao Qingqing appeared in front of Wu Jiandong, she did not know the reason.
Xiao Qingqing had disappeared in front of her eyes for a long time. For so long, she had been doing some shady things?
Du Anran grabbed the safe in her hand tightly and stepped into the door.
The moment she stepped in, He Yuguang closed the door. Her heart suddenly jumped, and every step she took, her heart jumped to her throat.
The moment she entered the door, she saw a large courtyard. The courtyard was very desolate, and there was nothing in it. She could only vaguely see a dry well in the corner. Du Anran had lived in city a for more than twenty years, but she did not know that there was such a desolate place in such a developed city.
Xiao Qingqing probably heard the commotion outside and Walked Out of the House again.
There was a cigarette in her hand. She leaned against the door and looked at Du Anran. She sized up Du Anran from head to toe, and finally, her gaze stopped on the safe in her hand.
"where's my mom? " Du Anran stood in the courtyard and looked straight at Xiao Qingqing.
Xiao Qingqing turned her head. "In the house! "
Bai Ruyun, who was in the house, heard Du Anran's voice. She knocked against the wall behind her, making a "Bang Bang" sound, and called out "anran. ".
"Mom! " Du Anran responded, but she did not rush up. She knew that it was impossible for her to walk in.
He Yuguang saw the situation and roared into the room, "don't make any noise for me! "
His roar was so powerful that even Xiao Qingqing was shocked.
"Du Anran, look at your feet. " Xiao Qingqing blew out a puff of smoke.
Du Anran lowered her head. When she first arrived, she smelled the obedient smell in the air. It was gasoline. She was shocked. "throw away the cigarette in your hand! "
"What are you afraid of! I don't want to die with you... " Xiao Qingqing smiled with a ferocious face. "But if you don't cooperate well, it's hard to say... "
"This is ten million in cash, EVERY CENT! " Du Anran raised her right hand and took out two tickets from her pocket. "these are the tickets to Edmonton. The time is seven o'clock at night. "
Xiao Qingqing and he Yuguang looked at each other. Xiao Qingqing gave him a look, and he Yuguang strode to Du Anran.
He reached out his hand. "Give me the tickets! "
Of course, Du Anran wouldn't give him the tickets. She put the tickets into her pocket. "I'll give you the cash if you let my mom out. I'll give you the tickets before we leave safely. "
"Du Anran, do you think you and Bai Ruyun can still leave? " Xiao Qingqing said disdainfully.
Du Anran knew that they were sheep in the Tiger's den. Even if Xiao Qingqing and he Yuguang tried to force their way out, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Du Anran raised her face The Sun Shone on her plain face. "there are still four hours before the plane takes off. It'll take two hours to get to the airport from here. If you let my mom and I leave now, you'll still have time to prepare. "But if you try to force your way out, I can tear up the ticket! "
Du Anran knew that they were the targets of arrest in the entire city. It was harder to buy plane tickets than to get cash. Du Anran bet that they would not dare to refuse.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingqing and he Yuguang looked at each other again. He Yuguang took two steps back.
"Let me see my mother! " Du Anran was very worried about her mother. Her mother was a calm person. How could she withstand such a shock.
Xiao Qingqing glanced at Du Anran, turned around, and opened the door behind her.
When the door opened, a strong light shone on Bai Ruyun's face. Bai Ruyun subconsciously avoided it.
"Mom! " Du Anran shouted.
In front of her, Bai Ruyun was tied up with a rope. She sat on the ground, unable to move. Dust and weeds were everywhere. Du Anran could not help but cough.
She saw that her mother had a knife wound on her hand, but the rest was not serious. She quickly ran over, but before she could reach her mother, she was stopped by he Yuguang.
"MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP? " Xiao Qingqing sneered, her tone full of disdain.
Her mother had told her about Bai Ruyun and Du Anran since she was young, so when she saw the mother and daughter, she was not in a good mood. If they didn't exist, she'd be the daughter of the DU family, the heir to the world peace.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"Let go of my mother... " Du Anran looked at Xiao Qingqing said.
"Don't be anxious, wait for me to settle an account with you first. " Xiao Qingqing puffed out a mouthful of smoke, leisurely walked to Du Anran's front.
Du Anran looked at her and then at her feet. This room was also filled with gasoline. Du Anran did not dare to move. She knew that if she angered Xiao Qingqing, she would do anything.
"I hope you can finish your words quickly. After all, time waits for no one. " Du Anran pointed at the plane ticket in her hand.
"Du Anran, in your impression, is your mother, Bai Ruyun, especially gentle, kind, and beautiful? " Xiao Qingqing approached Du Anran.
"Of course, my mother is the only one in the world. She is the greatest. " Du Anran's expression did not change.
Since she was young, her father, Du Yuanheng, had been very busy. He rarely had time to accompany her. Most of her childhood and youth had been spent under her mother's protection.
Her mother was a very capable person and an elegant artist. However, for her father and for the sake of this family, she was willing to give up her career and throw herself into the family.
When she was young, her mother's personality was very indifferent. She was like a daisy, quietly blooming in the wind, unperturbed by the spoils. At that time, her mother often wore a white dress and stood under the blue flower Jacaranda tree in her garden, quietly playing the violin.
Every time the breeze blew, blue petals fluttered in the wind, landing on her mother's shoulder and her white dress. Du Anran always thought that her mother was a fairy who had descended from the heavens.
"Then do you know that she once forced an innocent woman into a corner and eventually went crazy? " Xiao Qingqing's face was dark, and there was an urge to kill in her eyes.
"IMPOSSIBLE! " Du Anran firmly denied it. Her mother would never do such a thing.
"Then I'll tell you today. Back then, Bai Ruyun forced my mother into a corner, and in the end, she took me to hide at the edge of city a alone. During those years, we lived an inhuman life, and my mother also suffered from intermittent mental illness under great pressure. This illness lasted for more than twenty years, and each year, it became more and more serious! " Xiao Qingqing said with conviction.
Bai Ruyun only listened quietly and did not speak.
Du Anran had never known that Xiao Qingqing and her family had been inextricably linked to the DU family since a long time ago. She did not know if Xiao Qingqing had hidden it too deeply or if she was too stupid. During the two years that Xiao Qingqing stayed by her side, she actually did not find any clues. She did not even notice that Xiao Qingqing had joined hands with Xin Zimo.
It was said that a woman in love had zero Iq. That was how she had been in those two years She was immersed in love with someone and felt that everything around her was beautiful.
"Do you know that my mother and Du Yuanheng are truly in love with each other? Their feelings are compatible. It was your mother who deliberately separated them. She couldn't get du Yuanheng's heart, so she vented all her anger on my mother. How vicious is this woman! " Xiao Qingqing gritted her teeth.
When she recalled the past that her mother had told her, Xiao Qingqing was filled with righteous indignation.
Du Anran was slightly stunned. Xiao Qingqing's mother and her father She had never even known what Xiao Qingqing's mother's name was, let alone these unresolved past events.
"Du Anran, don't you know that I am also du Yuanheng's daughter? My mother should have been the mistress of the DU family. I should have been the miss of the DU family, not you! " Xiao Qingqing became more and more agitated as she spoke.
If it were not for Bai Ruyun, she would not have been reduced to living a difficult life with her mother. She did not even have the chance to enjoy the luxurious life that du Anran had enjoyed.
Du Anran's eyes widened in surprise. Xiao Qingqing was her father's daughter They were half-sisters Impossible... ... How is this possible ...
In her impression, her father was a very gentlemanly and elegant man, just like the current Xie Chenjin. He also never brought any women home, and he and his mother were very loving.
How could he betray his mother and have another woman outside, and even have a child... ...
Bai Ruyun listened to Xiao Qingqing's words without saying a word, and she could feel the shock in Anran's heart.
"Du Anran, everything you've enjoyed today was built on the pain of my mother and me! " Xiao Qingqing continued.
"No, that's impossible. What you said is not true! " Du Anran was still rejecting Xiao Qingqing. She did not believe it.
