After being bitten by Du Anran, he was really not interested anymore. He got down from the SOFA, turned around, and went into the kitchen.
The kitchen and the living room were quite far apart. Du Anran saw that he had left and heaved a sigh of relief. Every time, it was as if she was going through a tribulation. She could breathe a sigh of relief after passing the first hurdle.
She also stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, hoping that the driver would come over earlier.
Xin Zimo was a person who would turn hostile and go back on his words. The longer it took, the easier it would be for him to change his mind.
She couldn't do anything about this man. He was cold and heartless in front of others, but after that, he acted like a child. She didn't know if this was really the only way he treated her... ...
After waiting for half an hour, the driver still hadn't arrived. Xin Zimo's dinner was ready.
He only made one serving of egg fried rice and a few simple dishes. Although it was simple, it had all the appearance, smell, and taste. Du Anran couldn't help but feel hungry.
She was originally hungry, but Xin Zimo didn't let her have it easy. He brought all the dishes to the table in the living room, which was very close to Du Anran.
Du Anran knew that he was doing it on purpose, but she was really hungry. She gritted her teeth and endured it. Once the driver arrived, she could go out to eat.
Xin Zimo ate his food slowly. Although he was very hungry, his actions when he ate were especially good-looking.
Du Anran deliberately did not look at him. She was afraid that she could not help but snatch the food from him.
This man was really too much. After quarreling with her for a while, he only made a bowl of rice for her.
So Stingy!
Du Anran could not help but curse in her heart. Stingy man, calculative, vengeful, stingy man, calculative, vengeful... ...
She didn't know how many times she repeated it, but Xin zimo coughed lightly. "What's wrong? No one is coming to pick you up? "
"You don't know how to eat without saying anything? " Du Anran rolled her eyes at him and continued to pace in the living room.
"Just keep acting tough. I don't think anyone will come to pick you up today. "
Xin Zimo ate his meal leisurely and leisurely, occasionally glancing at Du Anran from the corner of his eyes.
After waiting for another half an hour, Xin Zimo had finished eating, but the driver hadn't arrived yet.
Du Anran was anxious. Logically speaking, even if it was raining heavily, they should have arrived from Huayuan to the Villa by Now!
Sure enough, Xin Zimo did not bother about her anymore. He took off his coat and went upstairs by himself. Du Anran was the only one left in the huge living room. She felt a little embarrassed.
She did not want to disturb Sun Ping anymore, so she could only wait quietly.
The clock on the wall went round and round, and the entire villa was strangely quiet. Du Anran was alone in the living room, so she could not help but feel a little scared.
She could only turn on the television in the living room so that she would not be too lonely.
She looked forward to the stars and the Moon. When the needle was pointing at eight, her phone finally rang. It was Sun Ping calling.
"Open the door, I'm outside, " Sun Ping said.
Du Anran was a little surprised. "Sun Ping, why are you here in person? "
She turned off the television and ran to open the door. Sure enough, a beam of light shone outside the villa. It was Sun Ping's own black Audi.
Even though the rain was still falling, Du Anran still saw Sun Ping sitting in the driver's seat.
It had been a long time since she had seen him. He was still the same, his expression cold. It was just that the man who was engaged had a more mature charm than before.
He was also wearing a black suit. It seemed that he had not returned home yet.
"Wait for me at the door, " Sun Ping said.
Du Anran did not have an umbrella. She would definitely get wet if she walked to the car, so she stood at the door and waited for Sun Ping.
Not long after, she saw Sun Ping walking down with a black umbrella. The rain was still falling outside. It was already night. There were not many lights outside the villa, so it was dark.
A gust of cold air rushed straight to Du Anran's neck. It was still very cold at night when she was like this.
When Sun Ping walked in front of her, he obviously paused and raised his eyes to look inside the villa.
"thank you for coming to pick me up, " Du Anran said.
"President Xin is inside? " Sun Ping asked.
"Let's talk after we get in the car! "
Du Anran was also afraid that Xin Zimo would come down and see them. After all, one was his ex-girlfriend and the other was his ex-secretary. They were both people who betrayed him and left him together. She was really afraid that the stingy man would do something embarrassing.
Sun Ping wanted to say something but hesitated. He seemed to want to say something, but he still moved the umbrella to Du Anran's head and planned to take her away.
Du Anran thought that Xin zimo would chase her out. With his personality, he would not let her go so easily. However, Du Anran really thought too much. When she closed the door and sat in Sun Ping's car, Xin Zimo did not react at all.
The lights upstairs were still on, and Du Anran did not know what Xin Zimo was doing upstairs. The heavy rain poured down, and the curtains hung low. She could only see the dark blue floral curtain on the window of his room, blocking the light in the room.
On the way, Sun Ping did not speak. There was a gentle music playing in the car. Accompanied by the heavy rain, it made people's hearts slowly moisten with the rain.
"Sun Ping, it seems that you have never given me a convincing reason why you left the Xin family, " Du Anran said lightly.
"Aren't the reasons I said enough? " Sun Ping was also indifferent.
"You are a person who values friendship and loyalty. I don't think I will misjudge you. "
"I am a person who values friendship and loyalty, but I am also a person who needs to support my family. Hua Yuan has given me better conditions and status. Why shouldn't I go? "
"The conditions Xin Zimo gave you are enough to support your family. You will not leave because of this. "
"But I have also told you that the Xin Corporation is struggling to even protect itself. I don't want to see the Xin Corporation fall. "
"You won't be so unconfident in Xin Zimo. In the business world, you know him better than I do, right? "
Even du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was not someone who would easily admit defeat. His methods and courage were enough to get the Xin Corporation out of danger and recover. Now, it was only a matter of time.
"I don't want to gamble with President Xin. I don't have the capital. " Sun Ping's gaze was erratic.
"perhaps I can understand you, because I know that you advised me to leave for his own good. " Du Anran said, "you still have his best interests at heart. "
"At the very least, if you don't leave him, he won't sell Golden Plate Garden. The Xin family has no funds to continue with that project. I know this better than anyone, " Sun Ping said "If he insists on keeping that project, the Xin family will fall into a very serious credit problem. "
When du Anran heard about this project, she couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment. It was also a pity that she could not take over the project from Xin Zimo.
However, the transfer of funds from the project had indeed brought about a great change for the Xin Corporation. or rather, with that amount of funds, the Xin Corporation would have a beautiful comeback in many aspects such as charity.
"Sun Ping, how is the Golden Plate Garden Project going? How is Hua Yuan? " She still wanted to show her concern, even though she could no longer put in any effort.
"I've always been the one following up. The prospects are good. "
"In the past, I thought that the project could be turned into a city a's garden plan. Some time ago, I even specially inspected many gardens for it, asked an old expert, and drew a design draft. I just didn't expect that after so many years, it would finally fall into Hua Yuan's hands, and it would still become a commercial building... ... ..."
Du Anran's tone was full of helplessness. The truth was no longer up to her to change.
"Is that so? You've personally made a design draft? When can you show it to me? Maybe I'll make some changes to the details of this project, " Sun Ping said casually.
"I've already kept it in the box. I think I won't be able to use it in this lifetime. " There was still an uncontrollable disappointment in du Anran's expression.
Sun Ping turned to look at her. In her eyes, he saw the disappointment from the day of the auction. It was exactly the same, and it actually made people's hearts ache.
Sun Ping and Du Anran rarely spent time alone. There was a time when he thought that he knew du Anran very well, but there was also a time when he felt that he had never seen Du Anran clearly.
Sometimes, he could not understand why Xin Zimo had died in the hands of this woman, but for a moment, he understood everything.
Sun Ping continued to look at the road in front of him and smiled. "after all, it's your hard work. It's not worth it to keep it as a last resort. Although this plan will not be carried out as before, I might be able to use some of the inspiration. "
"If you like it, I'll give it to you later. After all, these are no longer of any use to me. "
After losing the Golden Plate Garden, she knew that all her efforts had gone down the drain.
"Okay, then I'll just say thank you. The designers I've hired recently are all too terrible. No one has come up with a good plan. "
"My plan is also useless to you. It's even irrelevant. If you can use it, then use it. "
Du Anran thought that this was ultimately comforting herself. That project was completely out of her league... ...
"although Hua Yuan will use this project as a commercial building overall, the details can still be referred to the architecture of classical gardens, " Sun Ping said.
"I don't know why you were so persistent in competing with me for this project at the auction. You know, I really want it. "
"Hua Yuan's director Zhang also wants it. This is my first bargaining chip to go to my new owner. How can I lose? " Sun Ping said calmly.
Du Anran expressed her understanding to Sun Ping, but the regret in her heart could never be erased. It was like the words carved on a stone, even after thousands of years, would not disappear.
The car soon arrived at the DU residence. Du Anran entered the House with an umbrella, and sure enough, she took the proposal to Sun Ping.
When she opened the box, she felt a sense of absent-mindedness, because the box was filled with her memories.
There were also many things that Xin Zimo had given her. She put them all into the box. Every time she opened it, she was afraid to open it. She felt that the world was filled with endless sorrow... ...
The good things and the bad things could never go back. Leaving these things behind only added to her sadness.
