"Don't thank him, he will be proud. You saved him, this is what he should do, don't thank him. "
Ouyang Pei was amused by Du Anran. She whispered, "let me tell you, when I saved Xin Zimo, Xin Zimo said that he would agree to a condition of mine. I didn't think it through at that time, but now, I've suddenly thought it through. "
"Oh? There's such a thing? " Xin Zimo didn't tell her!
"I have to tell him this condition in person, I won't tell you now, " Ouyang Pei said mysteriously.
"Don't make things too difficult for him. He's a human being, not a God. He can't do things that are too difficult. "
"Aiya, you just married him and you're already speaking up for him. It's amazing. " Ouyang Pei laughed mischievously.
"SHHH... lower your voice... " Du Anran covered her mouth ...
The two of them chatted for a long time in the office. Ouyang Pei was like a happy fruit, making du Anran feel much better.
She temporarily forgot the unhappiness of the past few days and had a long conversation with Ouyang Pei. In the end, she threw her work aside.
By the time Du Anran remembered to work, it was already time to get off work.
Ouyang Pei helped her pack up everything. "Work Tomorrow. COME OUT WITH ME FOR DINNER TONIGHT! I don't have any friends in City A. I only know you and Xin zimo! "
"I played for another day today. I think if this continues, or if there are more employees like me, your family business will go bankrupt. "
"It's okay, it's okay. Zhongye is just playing. With the Ouyang family group around, what's there to be afraid of! " Ouyang Pei said indifferently.
Du Anran was thoroughly amused by Ouyang Pei. The two of them talked as they walked downstairs. Ouyang Pei also "abandoned" Feng Jing and changed it to putting her arms around Du Anran's shoulders.
In the end, it attracted a group of gossipy women from Zhongye, who were bored. In short, Du Anran was trying to please the CEO's girlfriend again.
Du Anran and Ouyang Pei actually heard it, but they looked at each other and smiled. They understood each other's intentions.
Others could say whatever they wanted to say, and they could still have fun.
However, just as the two of them walked downstairs and Ouyang Pei went to get the car, Du Anran saw a familiar figure. It was mother Xin.
Mother Xin was standing a little far away, but du Anran knew that she was looking at her.
As soon as she saw Du Anran come out, mother Xin walked over in her high heels.
She was dressed very low-key today, but it still could not hide her dazzling brilliance. Mother Xin always gave off an aura that could suppress the entire crowd. Du Anran did not leave either, she just stood there and waited for her to come over.
"Miss Du, are you free? Let's talk. " Mother Xin looked at Du Anran and said.
There was not much expression on her face, but du Anran still felt that something was unusual.
For example, she would not call her "Miss Du" so politely in the past. At least, her attitude would not be as kind as it was today.
Du anran narrowed her eyes slightly. She could not guess what mother Xin wanted to say to her. They had not seen each other for a long time.
"I have an appointment with a friend, " Du Anran said truthfully.
"when are you free then? I can wait for you, " Mother Xin said.
Du Anran felt that mother Xin was not normal. Could it be that she had suffered a blow because of Chi Xue's death?
If it was in the past, perhaps she would think so. However, ever since Xin Zimo told her about that incident, her impression of Mother Xin had only been that of a cruel and merciless woman.
It did not seem to be an easy thing for a cruel and merciless woman to become gentle and kind.
However, now that mother Xin was standing in front of her, she was basically telling her that she had enough patience to wait.
"After eight o'clock, or tomorrow, " Du Anran said.
"then after eight o'clock, I'll wait for you at the tea house in the south of the city. " Mother Xin smiled slightly without much impatience.
Du Anran really thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her. Was Mother Xin smiling at her Moreover, she thought that it would be very late after eight o'clock and that mother Xin would not have the patience. She did not expect that she would agree.
"Okay. " Du Anran could only agree.
If she changed her words now, it would appear that she was petty. Moreover, she had now registered with Xin Zimo. It was inevitable that she and mother Xin would have to see each other.
Mother Xin glanced at her and didn't say anything else. She turned around and left.
Not Far Away, Du Anran saw her drive away in a Silver-white Maserati. Where was her Red Ferrari?
Du Anran guessed that she must have sold the car or left it at home because she was afraid that she would fall in love with it!
"Anran, get in the car! "
Just then, Ouyang Pei saw the car coming to her side. Du Anran didn't look at mother Xin anymore. She got into Ouyang Pei's car and went out for dinner with Ouyang Pei.
Ouyang Pei wanted to get drunk, but du Anran thought that she still had to see mother Xin after eight o'clock, so she chose a relatively small restaurant and had a meal.
Ouyang Pei listened to Du Anran, but this did not affect their mood at all. The two of them drank some wine and ordered a table of dishes.
The rain had stopped long ago, and the winter night was a little cold. The restaurant was warm, and there were foreign handsome men playing the violin.
Ouyang Pei always liked to look at handsome men, but when she arrived at the restaurant, she could not close her eyes when she saw the little handsome man.
"fortunately, you didn't bring Feng Jing out. Otherwise, he would be jealous if he saw you looking at handsome men like that, " Du Anran teased.
"I deliberately didn't bring him out. If I really brought him out, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be jealous, " Ouyang Pei said with a smile.
"If you brought him out, I wouldn't have come. Otherwise, such a big third wheel would really shine. "
The two of them chatted while listening to the handsome man play the piano and sing. They were having a lot of fun. In the end, Du Anran forgot to call Xin Zimo. Xin Zimo, who was already home, waited for du Anran to return home.
Xin Zimo called Du Anran. Du Anran said that she was playing outside with Ouyang Pei. Xin Zimo was very angry and did not bring him along.
When they were almost done eating, drinking, and playing, Du Anran looked at the time and realized that it was already half past eight.
She quickly found an excuse to say goodbye to Ouyang Pei. Ouyang Pei was also drunk. Du Anran was afraid that something would happen to Ouyang Pei, so she called Feng Jing and asked him to pick her up.
When Feng Jing arrived, du Anran went to the tea house with ease.
There were no traces of rain on the road, and the street lamps were faintly shining. The Tea House was in a quiet area, and the tea house in the south of the city was also very famous in City A.
The trees by the tea house road had already lost all their leaves. They stood quietly by the side, looking at the entire quiet street.
When du Anran went up the stairs, she happened to see mother Xin pouring tea on a chair by the window.
There was a bottle of beautiful camellia on the table, which looked more lively in this style.
The fragrance of the tea permeated the air, refreshing the mind.
At this time, there were still quite a few guests. Some came and some left, but they all had the heart to drink tea. There was no noise, and the entire atmosphere was filled with Zen.
Du Anran's heart was also much calmer. She slowly walked to where mother Xin was.
It was just that she had played around with Ouyang Pei just now and drank a lot of wine, but fortunately, she was still sober.
Mother Xin had already poured two cups of tea and pushed one cup to Du Anran.
"sorry, I'm a little late, " Du Anran said.
She did not know what mother Xin was thinking, but since she was here, she still had to be amiable on the surface. After all, she was not a match for mother Xin.
Mother Xin did not say anything. She just picked up the teacup and said, "try the new tea here. I just brewed it. "
Du Anran frowned. She must not have invited her here just to drink tea, right?
She lowered her head and looked at the teacup. It was a very beautiful small white teacup. There were a few green leaves floating in the teacup. They swayed leisurely like a boat in the water.
The fragrance of the tea assailed her nose. Du Anran closed her eyes slightly. It was a very good tea leaf. However, she did not touch the tea in the cup.
"Are you afraid that I will poison you? " Mother Xin smiled faintly.
Du Anran also said faintly, "I just drank some wine at night. I don't feel like drinking tea now. "
"drinking wine? With Zimo? "
"No, friend, " Du Anran said.
"Oh... I heard Zimo say that you two have gotten married, " Mother Xin said casually ...
"Yes, we can be considered married. "
"Zimo likes you very much. I also hope that you can love him well. "
Du Anran smiled. "If I didn't love him, why would I get married with him? As for living, the two of us are quite suitable. After we got married, we have never quarreled. We won't make the same mistake as before. "
Du Anran had long known that Mother Xin had to pass this hurdle. If Mother Xin still did not agree to them being together, she would not back down.
"living is not something that can be done in a month or two. It takes a lifetime. It would be best if the two of you can live a lifetime without quarreling or throwing tantrums, " mother Xin said.
"We will do our best. No one is treating this marriage as a child's game. We are all working very hard and seriously. We just hope that we won't be destroyed by the outside world again, " Du Anran said.
"That's good. "
Contrary to Du Anran's expectations, mother Xin no longer had the pride she had when she spoke to her in the past. Instead, she lowered her head and quietly sipped her tea. Even her tone was pale and powerless.
This kind of mother Xin made du Anran a little uncomfortable. Back then, mother Xin was such a difficult person. She had even done many things that almost killed her.
"You called me here because you have something to say to me? " Du Anran asked.
It was not to the extent that she came to drink tea. This was not in line with Mother Xin's style.
"I know that you and Zimo live outside. He hasn't been home for a long time. Since you two are married, come back often in the future. I live alone in the Xin family's house. It's quite lonely. "
Mother Xin's voice was very low, just like the leaves of this tea. It was ethereal.
Du Anran was stunned. She wondered if she had drunk too much wine and could not hear clearly.
The atmosphere here also felt unreal. She began to suspect that she was dreaming.
She touched the teacup. It was hot. She was not dreaming. But was this mother Xin Why would mother Xin say such things to her?
Shouldn't she be very opposed to her being together with Xin Zimo At least in her eyes, she, Du Anran, had no family background, nothing, and was not worthy of Xin Zimo.
