Compared to his thin figure, the white hair on his head was even more striking. Du Anran had never thought that Uncle Jin had so much white hair on his head before, but seeing it today, she was shocked.
Uncle Jin was not very old. He had suffered a lot during this period of time.
Jin Haiguo, who had his eyes closed the whole time, looked up when he heard her footsteps.
"Uncle Jin, am I disturbing you? " Du Anran asked softly.
"Yes, Anran came. No, I didn't sleep, " Jin Haiguo said.
Jin Haiguo was still as kind-hearted as before, and Du Anran felt even more sorry for him. Such an elder had to suffer such torture when he was supposed to spend his old age peacefully.
"I'm here to talk to you, " Du Anran said with a smile.
She was afraid that her bad mood would affect Uncle Jin, so she always had a smile on her face.
"Why hasn't Shaonan come lately? I really miss him... "
Hearing Uncle Jin ask about Shaonan, Du Anran didn't know how Xie Chenjin answered Uncle Jin. She had to make up a lie. "Shaonan and Chenjin are looking for evidence. They think you're innocent. "
"Anran, you're kidding me. " Jin Haiguo suddenly laughed.
Du Anran didn't know what was wrong with her words. How could uncle Jin see through her so quickly!
"I. . . Really, Shaonan is looking for relevant information with Chenjin... " Du Anran added ...
"Didn't Shaonan tell you that I deserved it? " Jin Haiguo said this with a kind face.
Du Anran was stunned. Deserved it? How could it be... ...
She recalled Shaonan's every move after he came back from London. At that time, she wanted Shaonan not to worry about his father, but Shaonan insisted that she and Xie Chenjin quit.
At that time, Jin Shaonan's tone was firm and his attitude was very tough. He also said that he was the only one who knew his father the best.
"Uncle Jin, how is that possible? Don't lie to me. I'M NOT A THREE-YEAR-OLD CHILD! I can still distinguish between good people and bad people, " Du Anran said with a smile.
Jin Haiguo also smiled, but he shook his head. "Anran, you're so innocent. However, it's good to be innocent. Innocent and kind children are cherished by others. "
Du Anran didn't feel good after hearing Uncle Jin's words. What was so good about being innocent... ...
"Uncle Jin, let me pour you a cup of tea! " Du Anran said and went to make a cup of green tea.
Jin Haiguo didn't refuse and kept a smile on his face. There were several kinds of tea leaves on hand, and this girl still remembered that he liked green tea.
The room was sunny. Although the conditions were simple, the treatment was okay. Except for the fact that he couldn't go out freely, there weren't many obstacles.
"Anran, go and tell Chenjin not to worry about me. I deserve to misappropriate public funds. If he hides it for me, it will only bring him trouble, " Jin Haiguo said to Du Anran.
"Uncle Jin, Chenjin and I don't believe that you would embezzle the public funds. Don't worry, Chenjin will think of a way. He will take you out. From now on, you will leave city A. "
"The biggest mistake I have made in my life is embezzling the public funds. But if you ask me if I regret it, I will tell you that I don't regret it. " Jin Haiguo still had the same kind smile on his face.
Du Anran was stunned again. What did Uncle Jin mean Could it be... ... embezzling the public funds was not groundless ? ?
Seeing that Du Anran was in a daze, Jin Haiguo smiled. "Girl, it seems that none of you believe that I would embezzle public funds. Do I really look like a person with clean hands? "
Du Anran nodded resolutely at this moment. "In my eyes, you are a kind and kind elder, worthy of our respect and respect. "
"Girl, your experience is still too shallow. In a few more years, you might understand. However, I hope that you will never understand. I hope that you will always be so simple and live a simple life, without having to care about all the things in the world. "
"Uncle Jin, you know, how can a person avoid all these things? I can't avoid them if I'm not smart, and I can't avoid them if I'm smart. So, I still hope that I can be smarter and at least be able to protect myself in the future. "I shouldn't always live under the wings of others. If I were to be alone one day, I would be nothing. "
"It's good that you can think like that. You still have to walk your own path in the end, " Jin Haiguo said.
"Uncle Jin, you really don't have to worry. Chenjin and Shaonan are both thinking of ways. I will visit you often. When the higher-ups let go of you, Chenjin will send someone to send you out of city a, " Du Anran said.
"If you are willing, you can listen to me. ". "that year, Shaonan's mother passed away early. I was still nothing at that time. Later, I became a small official, but my family was short of money. I was obsessed and misappropriated the public funds. "that amount of money was not small at that time. It just so happened to provide for Shaonan to finish his entire education. He even went abroad to study. "
Du Anran's eyes widened when she heard that. There was actually such a secret?
"This incident happened in our city at that time. No one knew, and I kept it a secret very well. "But after that, I never misappropriated any money. I was also diligent in my work. I always wanted to do more things to make up for the guilt in my heart. "I thought that I would never see the light of day, but I didn't expect that someone would take it out again in City A. "
"Uncle Jin, you have a reason for everything. In my heart, you will always be a good person, " Du Anran said.
"thank you for trusting me so much. In fact, I have been guilty for many years. Now, I feel relieved, " Jin Haiguo said.
"there are many ways to solve this matter. Besides, this matter has been kept under lock and key. The News hasn't spread yet. It can be solved in city a, " Du Anran comforted him.
"It doesn't matter to me whether it's solved or not. I just hope that you and Chenjin don't get involved. It's been hard on you. "
Du Anran knew that she didn't do anything and couldn't bear the word "hard" from Uncle Jin. However, if she continued to persuade him, Uncle Jin wouldn't listen to her.
"Anran, I never let the Xin family touch the Golden Plate Garden Project. Do you hate me? " Jin Haiguo suddenly brought up the matter.
"It's just a project. I've put it down a long time ago! "
The Golden Plate Garden had been bought by Hua Yuan. Any more thoughts would become obsession.
"I didn't think too far ahead. The research institute said that they wanted to build a base, so I agreed. I didn't expect that it would clash with the Golden Plate Garden Project, " Jin Haiguo said.
"I don't blame you. It's nothing. " Du Anran smiled instead.
Although she didn't live up to her father's expectations for so many years, things were different now, and things had long since come to an end.
"Let's not talk about this. Look at the weather today. I'll tell you about our childhood. Although there was no internet or high-tech back then, it was much more fun than now, " Jin Haiguo said with a smile.
"Okay, tell me about it. "
Jin Haiguo told Du Anran a lot of fun things. Du Anran sat beside Jin Haiguo and listened carefully with her Chin Resting on her hand.
When Jin Haiguo told her about Shaonan's birth, Du Anran's heart lit up. She smiled and said, "uncle, I saw something in the books you lent me last time. "
Jin Haiguo was curious. He asked, "what is it? "
"A letter from home. You wrote it for Auntie. " Du Anran said with a smile.
Jin Haiguo probably forgot. He also said with a smile, "Oh, I probably wrote it many years ago. When I finished writing it, I would sometimes put it in a book and then forget it. "
"Auntie's name is so nice. "
"Rou Hui... " Jin Haiguo called out. His eyes fell on a Ginkgo tree in front of the house, but his thoughts had long flown away.
Du Anran spent the whole day with Jin Haiguo. However, she didn't expect that just three days later, the news of Uncle Jin's sentencing came.
That day, she was standing in her garden and felt the sun was getting more and more dazzling. She didn't expect this news to explode at her feet like a thunderbolt.
"What did you say? ''DuuAnrann askedXieeChenjinn again on the other end of the phone.
Xie Chenjin's voice sounded like he was going crazy. He said, "Shaonan's father was taken away. He surrendered. "
"It's been so many years. Why can't we compromise? " Du Anran asked.
"It's Mayor Jin himself who isn't willing to compromise. He said... This is good. He left a letter for all of us. "
"where are you? I'll go over. " Du Anran felt that the sunlight was particularly dazzling.
"I'm at home. "
Du Anran was startled. Why was he at home... ...
Without caring about anything else, du Anran directly took a taxi to Xie Chenjin's neighborhood.
It had been a long time since she had been here. The last time she had been here was when Xie Chenjin had a fever.
Du Anran walked directly to Xie Chenjin's upstairs. When she reached there, she found that the door was ajar. She pushed the door open and saw Xie Chenjin standing by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
There were three letters on the table in the living room. They were the same envelopes.
Du Anran did not know why, but at this moment, she felt a sense of sadness.
She remembered that when Xie Chenjin celebrated his birthday, many of their friends were here laughing and laughing. At that time, Xie Chenjin was very happy, and Jin Shaonan was also very happy.
"I'm here, " Du Anran said softly.
Xie Chenjin turned around and pointed at the letters on the table. "There's one for you. Take a look! I still haven't been able to bail out Mayor Jin. "
"It has nothing to do with you. Since Uncle Jin has chosen this path, let's respect him! " "I think he must have been thinking about it for so many years. Now that the dust has finally settled, maybe he can relax. " Du Anran had to comfort herself and Xie Chenjin.
"that amount of public money is not small. I can only try to reduce his sentence. " Xie Chenjin sighed.
"No matter what, at least Uncle Jin's conscience can live with it, right? "
"Yes. I'm afraid that Shaonan will be sad. "
"I'm afraid that Shaonan already knew about this! " Du Anran recalled everything from before. She thought that Jin Shaonan must have already known.
"really? " Xie Chenjin was slightly shocked.
Du Anran nodded. "where is Shaonan now? I want to see him and bring the letter to him. "
Du Anran waved the letter in her hand. She did not know what was written in the letter.
