"I'll be right there. Wait for me. " Du Anran used her face and shoulders to hold the phone, and her hands were free to put on her clothes. "How did you know? Did Shaonan call you? "
"Yes, Shaonan asked me about his father. I didn't dare to tell him the truth. I only told him that Mayor Jin was only assisting in an economic case. "
"Don't tell him the truth. I'm afraid that he'll be impulsive. "
"That's why I called you to pick him up. After all... you're the only person he can rely on in City A. " Xie Chenjin's heart was filled with bitterness ...
"He doesn't have many good friends in City A. at a time like this, I think we should stay by his side. "
Du Anran thought of the university and all the things that happened last year. Whenever she was at her most embarrassed, Jin Shaonan would always be by her side.
She also said that if there was a chance, they would go back together to walk the same road they had when they were in university. At that time, the flowers would fall on the long street and the light rain would fall like a crisp.
Du Anran moved very quickly. It didn't take long for her to stand in front of Xie Chenjin's car.
When she went out, she found that it was very foggy this morning. There was white everywhere, and the visibility was very low.
Du Anran only walked from the door to the car, and the hair on her forehead was wet. As soon as she got in the car, she told Xie Chenjin, "it's very foggy. Drive slowly later. Shaonan should be waiting for us at the airport. "
"Well, when you see Shaonan later, try not to mention the mayor's matter, " Xie Chenjin said.
"I know. By the way, I called you last night, and you fell asleep. How did you handle the matter yesterday? "
"Not too good. There is already evidence regarding mayor Jin's embezzlement of public funds. It just needs time to prove whether it's true or not. However, based on the information we have, this matter is very likely to be true. "
Xie Chenjin spoke very calmly, but du Anran did not listen calmly.
The embezzlement matter was very likely to be true Why would it be like this... ...
Uncle Jin did not have any desires or desires, and his life was not extravagant. Even his villa was bought by Shaonan, and he did not usually see Uncle Jin having any bad hobbies.
Even she felt that Uncle Jin did not look like a government official, but how could she believe that such a person was accused of embezzlement.
"Do you... believe it? ''DuuAnrann was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly askedXieeChenjinn ...
"If it wasn't for those materials, I think my thoughts would be the same as yours. "
"those materials must have been forged. You don't believe that Uncle Jin would misappropriate public funds, right? "
"Anran, many times, things backfire, " Xie Chenjin said.
Du Anran was silent. She had to admit that Xie Chenjin was right.
The fog became thicker and thicker. It was morning, and the sun was hidden in the clouds. Xie Chenjin drove very slowly. They seemed to be waiting for the sun to rise, but they could not see the direction in the distance.
When they arrived at the airport, the fog dispersed slightly, but because the airport was in the suburbs, there was a faint sadness in the thin fog.
Xie Chenjin looked at his watch and said, "Shaonan should be here. "
"where did you ask him to meet you? "
"right here. Help me keep an eye on him. Maybe the plane is late. I'll go and take a look. "
"Okay, I'll wait for you here. Come back quickly. " Du Anran nodded.
Xie Chenjin walked into the airport hall, and Du Anran stood alone and looked around. The wind blew on her face with the mist, and it was a little cold.
There were many people coming and going, but du Anran could not see Jin Shaonan.
They had not seen each other for several months. Although they often talked on the phone, Du Anran did not know if Jin Shaonan was doing well in London alone.
Du Anran did not dare to go far, so she stood still. When she was bored, she kicked the pebbles on the side of the road.
One by one, people passed by her, but she did not see Jin Shaonan in the crowd.
Time passed, minute by minute. Jin Shaonan did not come, and Xie Chenjin did not come back either. She could only sit on the bench by the roadside and wait slowly. By the time the fog had dispersed, the sun had already moved slowly to the West.
She did not know how long she had waited. Just when she was about to call Xie Chenjin, she saw Xie Chenjin and a man walking over side by side.
She did not know if it was because the distance was too far, but she did not recognize who this man was at once. When they walked up to her, she was shocked. This man was Jin Shaonan.
She had not seen him for a few months. Why was he so thin? The black windbreaker on his body looked like it was covering his body. It could not support him at all. His face and eyes were haggard. Jin Shaonan, who had always loved cleanliness, had grown a green stubble, but he did not fix it at all.
His hair was also messy. His well-defined fingers were dragging the suitcase. He gave du Anran a sense of awe.
She could not believe that the man in front of her was Jin Shaonan. He had been in London for a few months. Why did he seem to have aged several years? He was originally very thin, but now he was just skin and bones. Even she could not recognize him.
Jin Shaonan probably saw the surprise in Du Anran's eyes. He stopped in his tracks and smiled slightly. "Did I scare you by being too unkempt? "
"Shaonan, why don't you take good care of yourself? " Du Anran's eyes were hot. Jin Shaonan had indeed scared her. She almost did not recognize him.
"It's too tiring to go on a business trip. They are used to leaving all the big and small matters in the country to me. Even if I am in London, IT WON'T BE EASY! " Jin Shaonan smiled.
"Then every time I call you and tell you to rest more and take care of your body, you just ignore me. "
"It's okay. I'm back in the country now. In a few days, you can take me out for a few good meals. Won't that make up for it? " Jin Shaonan still looked like he was joking.
Du Anran was not in the mood to joke at all. She really could not imagine how much suffering Jin Shaonan had gone through in the past few months in London. Was it like before, waking up early in the morning and staying up late at night? If this went on, even if it was made of copper or iron, it would not be able to take it.
Moreover, he had been hospitalized in the hospital before. His body was not in good shape to begin with, and now he was torturing himself.
Du Anran said angrily, "is work that important? You can do it slowly, but if you really can't, you can just hire a few assistants. There's no need to work so hard! "
"It's all part of my job. No one can replace me, " Jin Shaonan said.
"When we get back, I'll make you some bone soup. Although it doesn't taste good, it can at least nourish your body. Shaonan, you're young now, so you don't think much of it. But if you work so hard, you'll still hurt yourself. "
"Anran, I haven't seen you for a few months. You've become Naggy, " Jin Shaonan said with a smile.
Du Anran saw that Jin Shaonan still didn't care. She didn't know how he would react if he found out the truth about his father's imprisonment... ...
"Anran, you don't seem to have stewed bone soup for me, " Xie Chenjin said sourly.
"That's good. I'll go buy some vegetables. I'll cook today, so you guys can try my cooking. I'm sure you won't think about the next time! " Du Anran said.
"Du Anran, you're getting more and more useless... " Xie Chenjin said with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go. The airport isn't fun at all. Shaonan, let me help you with your luggage... "
Without any explanation, Du Anran snatched the suitcase from Jin Shaonan's hand and dragged it to Xie Chenjin's car.
Du Anran walked in front, her long hair fluttering gently. The Sun Hung Lazily in the air, dragging du Anran's shadow very, very long... ...
She dragged Jin Shaonan's suitcase while Jin Shaonan and Xie Chenjin walked side by side behind her.
They did not speak, but looked straight ahead. The Sun shone in their eyes and each had a different meaning.
Du Anran walked to the car first. She could not move the suitcase into the car anymore, so she waved at Xie Chenjin.
"Come here, come here, quickly move Shaonan's suitcase into the trunk. "
"You can't move it anymore? You ran faster than a rabbit just now. " Xie Chenjin smiled and walked to her.
Du Anran made a face at him and got into the car.
Before Jin Shaonan brought the suitcase home, Du Anran dragged them to her home. She had promised to cook the dishes herself, but she could not go back on her word.
She probably sent Jin Shaonan away on purpose. As soon as she got home, Du Anran let Jin Shaonan rest in the living room while she dragged Xie Chenjin out to buy vegetables.
"You didn't tell Shaonan, did you? " Du Anran asked.
"No, I was afraid that you would accidentally spill the beans. "
"I'll pay attention, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep it a secret for long. When Shaonan gets home and sees that Uncle Jin is not at home, he will definitely be suspicious. Tell him that Uncle Jin is only setting up an economic case. He won't be able to keep it a secret for a few days. I'm afraid that he won't be able to keep it a week. "
"I'll make good use of these few days to deal with this matter. I'll try to get the mayor to come home early and pretend that nothing happened. "
"I can't help much. I'll leave this matter to you. You must do your best. I don't wish for Uncle Jin to be imprisoned at such an old age. He's such a good person... " Du Anran lowered her head.
Her memories stopped at the first time she met Uncle Jin. At that time, Uncle Jin really treated her like a daughter and treated her very well.
Now, how could she bear to see Uncle Jin in prison.
"I will do my best. Wait for my good news. Don't worry, " Xie Chenjin said. "You saw it yourself. Shaonan is very haggard. He has been leaving his daily life to you for the past few days. "
"He is not a child. How could he listen to me? I told him repeatedly over the phone to take good care of himself. It's not like he didn't listen at all. Today at the airport, to tell you the truth, I almost didn't recognize Shaonan. "
Xie Chenjin was silent for a few seconds, and there was an unnoticeable dimness in his eyes.
"He doesn't care about his own health. If Uncle Jin saw him in this state, he would be heartbroken. " Du Anran sighed.
"take good care of him during this period of time. " Xie Chenjin didn't say anything else, but repeated it again.
In fact, without Xie Chenjin's advice, Du Anran would also take good care of Jin Shaonan. Men were like that. They were always so unrefined in their lives. Work and career were the top priority, but taking care of themselves was the least important.
Without health, how could one have a successful career. Du Anran thought that sometimes men were quite stupid. They just couldn't understand such a simple logic.
