Du Anran smiled and said, "you're the only one who likes to make fun of me! "
"But I'm here today to talk to you about a serious matter. " Jin Shaonan stopped smiling.
"What's wrong? " Du Anran was afraid that it was bad news. She could no longer withstand the impact of bad news. She wished that she could hear the same good news every day and be happy every day.
"Xie Chenjin looked for you yesterday? "
Hearing Jin Shaonan mention Xie Chenjin's name, Du Anran was surprised. "You know him? "
"We've known each other since we were young, " Jin Shaonan said. "I only found out not long after I came to city a that his father opened a bank in city a, and the benefits are quite good. "
"You've known each other since you were young? " Du Anran was surprised. "I've never heard you mention him... "
"This acquaintance is only limited to when we were young, " Jin Shaonan said "later, when we went to high school, we didn't have any contact with each other. I didn't expect that after so many years, not only did he look good, but I heard that he was also proficient in stocks and securities. "
"then... how did you know that he came to me... " Du Anran was puzzled ...
"He showed me the contract that you signed, " Jin Shaonan said casually.
"Him! " Du Anran was so excited that she almost stood up. How could Xie Chenjin be like this? She knew that he was a cunning Fox.
"Don't blame him. He told me the reason. He was betting on the value of my affection for you, " Jin Shaonan said "after we came to city A, we met a few times. During that time, we talked about our own worries. Don't think that he is smart and capable, but in fact, his eq is inversely proportional to his iq. "He showed me this contract because he wanted to ask for my help. You know that my father's position as the mayor of city a has a lot of power that Xin Zimo can't touch. "
"Therefore, he knows that you can't do anything by yourself. He also wants my help, " Jin Shaonan analyzed. "He bet on my affection for you. In other words, he bet on whether I will stand on his side because of this contract. "
"I signed the contract rashly. I didn't expect that I would drag you into this, " Du Anran said in a low voice.
"It has nothing to do with you. Xie Chenjin is too cunning. We haven't seen each other for a few years, and his intelligence hasn't decreased in the slightest. " Jin Shaonan smiled. "He knows that I won't let you take this risk. "
Du Anran didn't know how to thank Jin Shaonan for his friendship and trust. She said, "Shaonan, don't get involved. This is between Xie Chenjin and me. "
"speaking of which, I'm also responsible for him finding you, " Jin Shaonan said bitterly. "I drank too much with him once and said a few more words after drinking. I didn't expect that Xie Chenjin would listen to everything. "
"You... what did you say? ''
"I only found out after the incident. I even told Xin Zimo that he asked you to be his secretary, " Jin Shaonan said embarrassedly. "I think I'm responsible for him finding you. So, I made up for it. "
No Wonder Xie Chenjin knew so much. Du Anran never thought that it was because of Jin Shaonan.
"Shaonan, besides the three of us, does anyone else know about this? " Du Anran asked worriedly.
"No, " Jin Shaonan said, "although Xie Chenjin is cunning, he knows his limits. Secrets are secrets. He can only tell his allies. "
Only then did du Anran let out a sigh of relief. Xie Chenjin was really unpredictable.
"Anran, do you think I'm useless if I can't even give you your freedom... "
"It has nothing to do with you. Xin Zimo is too despicable. " Du Anran gritted her teeth.
"Xie Chenjin is my friend. Even if he didn't ask you to sign this contract, I would have helped him. Now, I have to help him even more. "
"Shaonan, can the Xie family survive this crisis? "
"I don't know. " Jin Shaonan's tone became deeper. "It depends on luck. Xie Chenjin's talent, your insider, and my external cooperation. As a friend, I still hope that he can successfully revive the Xie family. That way, we can both be considered winners. "
"If the Xie family can survive the crisis, and Xin Zimo really loses the entire Xin family, I... ... Don't have to hide and live in fear anymore. You.. .. Can you accompany me to Germany I want to take a walk with you in the university, and then... ... bring my mother to live a good life in Germany."Du Anran's voice was not loud But it carried a lot of longing.
"Okay, then it's a deal. " Jin Shaonan smiled.
Du Anran smiled bitterly. "maybe I won't get married again in my life... Shaonan, do you think I'm quite weak... "
"If you really don't change your mind, then I'll respect your choice. " Jin Shaonan was a little heartbroken, but he would give her enough respect.
"thank you. " Du Anran smiled, her eyes like the new moon.
The two sat opposite each other and drank a few cups of tea. Then, they put aside their worries and started to talk freely.
Speaking of being happy, Du Anran suddenly asked curiously, "Shaonan, do you think Xie Chenjin is so perfect that he doesn't have any flaws at all? "
She did not believe that such a perfect person like Xin Zimo had such bad habits as narcissism, arrogance, and pride. She really did not believe that Xie Chenjin did not have such bad habits.
"Why not? " Jin Shaonan suddenly burst into laughter as he said, "I'm telling you, don't tell him that I said it, or he will beat me to death. "
Du Anran became even more curious when she heard that. She quickly gossiped, "tell me, tell me, isn't he a Weirdo? "
"He has a very serious mysophobia! " "He even has to change the sheets and blankets he uses every day. Sometimes, his family can change a few aunties a month because they can't stand his habit. No matter how high the salary is, they won't work for him anymore. ". Later, his mother couldn't stand it anymore and threw him on the bed that wasn't changed for a few months. Guess what happened. After a year, his 'illness' was really cured! "
Du Anran laughed so hard that she leaned forward. "He is indeed a Weirdo. "
"Also, guess what he is most afraid of since he is so old? "
"What? " Du Anran rested her Chin on her hand and asked curiously.
"A little bug! " Jin Shaonan laughed. "when he is bold, he dares to tell US ghost stories in the middle of the night. But when he sees a bean-sized bug, he is scared! "
"Then won't he be more afraid of animals like rats and cockroaches? " Du Anran was amused by Xie Chenjin. She really couldn't imagine how Xie Chenjin, a handsome young master, would react when he encountered bugs.
"Yes, I used to scare him with these when he was young, and it worked every time. "
"It seems that if he dares to trick me, I will have a way to deal with him. " Du Anran laughed.
"If he dares to trick you, I will not forgive him. "
Du Anran and Jin Shaonan chatted happily, and Jin Shaonan also stayed at Du Anran's house for a long time. Jin Shaonan didn't say goodbye to Du Anran until Bai Ruyun came back. Bai Ruyun never interfered with Du Anran's personal affairs, and she gave her the greatest freedom. She used to be, and she still is.
Bai Ruyun couldn't tell whether she liked Xin Zimo or Jin Shaonan more. She always felt that Xin Zimo hid himself too deeply, and even she couldn't see him clearly, so how could she trust him with Anran. Moreover, he hurt anran too badly, and even she felt sad.
However, Jin Shaonan had always treated anran wholeheartedly, but... ... Bai Ruyun sighed. Anran might not be able to truly fall in love with someone else ...
After sending Jin Shaonan away, Bai Ruyun and Du Anran tidied up the house for a while. Bai Ruyun saw that Du Anran was in a much better mood and did not feel as heavy as when she had just returned.
She could not help but ask, "Anran, are you not happy with Xin Zimo every day? "
Du Anran's hand paused and squeezed out a smile. "also... No. " At most, she was frightened. She did not know when he would turn hostile ...
When he did not turn against her, he treated her better than ever. It was just that she could not figure out his emotions. She thought that it was too difficult for her to adapt to him. She did not want to become du Anran like this.
"Did he make things difficult for you? " Bai ruyun sighed.
Du Anran still shook her head. "No, I just helped him with some daily affairs. I rarely even met him. "
Du Anran lied again. During this period of time, she had lied a lot. Some were against Xin Zimo, and some were hidden from Liu Wanwan. Now, she had no choice but to lie to her mother. She did not want the people she loved the most to worry about her. She did not want them to know that she was not living well.
"It's really a case of revenge. " Bai ruyun smiled bitterly. The Du family had let down the Xin family, but why did du Anran have to bear all the debts.
"Mom, it's getting late. You should go and rest. You still have to wake up early tomorrow to teach the children how to play the piano. If I have time to visit you at the piano store, I wonder if those children have improved. " Du Anran avoided this heavy topic and smiled.
"They are learning much more seriously than you were when you were young. " Bai Ruyun put away her solemnity and smiled.
"Mom, look at what you said. Because of learning the zither, I was scolded by you many times when I was young. " Du Anran remembered that her mother was a traditional lady from a big family. She was quiet and virtuous. She never quarreled with others, and she never blushed with others.
However, it was this young lady from a scholarly family who scolded her many times when she was young because of learning the zither. She was scolded until tears streamed down her face. However, she was also grateful to her mother at that time. Under her mother's earnest guidance, she was able to become so versatile today.
"Next time, if there's a chance, I'll let you substitute for me. There are a few children who are too mischievous, many times more mischievous than you were in the past. I really can't control them. It's also good to let you come into contact with the children. Although these children are not obedient, when you're with them, you'll feel much more relaxed,"Bai Ruyun said.
"really? " Du Anran's eyes were filled with joy. She also wanted to come into contact with different groups of people. At least, she had always liked children. She liked their innocence and carefree.
Every time she spent time with children, she was very happy. It also made her forget a lot of unhappiness.
Thinking back to these years, the business world was full of deceit, war, and the invisible flashes of swords. She was physically and mentally exhausted.
"If you have time, you can come over anytime, " Bai Ruyun said with a smile. "It'll help me lighten my burden. "
Du Anran was very happy. "Then I'll go over during the holiday. It's a deal. I'll definitely go over! "
However, she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in a week. She had to accompany Xin Zimo to London. She did not know how many days she would be back.
