The old man sighed deeply. After a long while, he said, "he was also a decisive and capable person in the business world back then. "
"You... know my father? " Du Anran was slightly surprised. She could not understand why Xie Chenjin asked her to come over Was it a coincidence or an arrangement ? ?
"I know him. I've met him a few times. " The old man did not hide it from Du Anran "Back then, several of my big projects in London were also defeated by him. He was really a young hero. The whole business world was full of praise for him. The World Peace Corporation was talked about by everyone. "
"father passed away early... " at the mention of these, Du Anran felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat. "If he was still alive, world peace would not have fallen to this extent... "
She had failed everyone's expectations. She had completely destroyed all of her father's family businesses that he had built from scratch. She really could not forgive herself... ...
"fate... " the old man shook his head.
Du Anran asked, "old man, are you a friend of my father? "
"No, " the old man said, "he and I are enemies, enemies in the business world. Think about it, I lost a few of my big projects to him. Can I become friends with him? "
After saying that, the old man smiled first. "But now that I think about it, the projects and benefits that we fought so hard for are all worthless. "
"You... How do you know that I'm Du Yuanheng's daughter? " Du Anran was very confused ...
"someone called and said that a Miss Du would visit me today. She even said that she's the woman beside Zimo. When I saw you today, sure enough, you look like your father. I guessed it. "
"Xin Zimo? You Know Xin Zimo? "
"Do you know my last name? " The old man stood still and looked at her with a smile.
Du Anran shook her head.
The old man smiled and said, "sure enough, you don't have any schemes. No wonder you lost to my grandson. "
Du Anran was shocked. Grandson She took two steps back and looked at the old man again. This time, she saw something in the old man's eyes that was similar to Xin zimo's, as well as that similar look in his eyes.
"You said that you have two grandsons... " Du Anran thought about it. One of the old man's grandsons went out to sea and didn't come back, so the other one was Xin Zimo, the grandson who hated him.
"Yes, Zimo is the grandson who hated me for more than twenty years. " After the old man said all this, he felt much more relieved.
Du Anran was shocked. She had never heard Xin Zimo say these things. It turned out that she really didn't know anything about Xin Zimo. He had never confided in her. They were still on guard against each other.
"I, I have never heard anyone mention it... " Du Anran was a little incoherent. This news really surprised her.
"ZIMO has long cut off all contact with me. It's normal that you don't know. He hates a person and will always take revenge, even if I'm his grandfather. "
No wonder he said that he didn't like London and that he didn't want to come to London. There was actually such a reason.
It was Du Anran's turn to be silent. It was really a huge game and a joke. She had no intention of finding out Xin zimo's secret, but Xie Chenjin clearly wanted her to know.
"He knows that I'm in a desolate old age, so even when he came to London, He didn't look at me again. His younger brother had an accident at sea this year, and he didn't even call back. " The old man's face was full of grief.
"No matter what, you're his grandfather. He won't stand for what he did. " Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was cold and heartless, but she never thought that he would be so heartless. Thinking about it this way.. She didn't know if she would end up miserable too.
"His personality isn't like his father at all. " The old man sighed "So, I'm quite surprised that he kept you by his side and even brought you to London. Logically speaking, he probably hates your Du family as much as he hates an old man like me. "
"actually, there's nothing to be surprised about. Keeping me by his side is another way to take revenge. "
The old man held du Anran's hand. "If you don't want to be by his side, then leave him. "
When the old man heard that Du Anran admitted that she was Du Yuanheng's daughter, he had a premonition. He felt that Xin Zimo did not have good intentions when he got close to Du Anran.
"leave... if I could leave, I would have left long ago... "
"If there's anything I can help you with, you can look for me, " the old man sighed "But even so, I still really want to see him. "For so many years, I've only seen him in the newspapers and on TV. It's been more than 20 years. He's really changed from a five-or six-year-old boy to today's young talent and business elite. "
"He really hasn't come to see you once? " Du Anran really didn't know that Xin Zimo could be so heartless. How could she entrust her life to a man who was willing to part with his family.
The old man didn't speak again, but du Anran also guessed that he really hadn't come once. It had been more than twenty years... ...
"Girl, Walk with me. It has been a long time since I had someone to talk to me so much. " The old man pointed to a wide road ahead.
The front was connected to Laidu Garden. There were tall birch trees by the roadside. Although the leaves had fallen, leaving only the bare trunks, there was a vast and open open space.
"okay, I'll walk with you. " Du Anran supported the old man and strolled along the wide road.
There were no cars or pedestrians on the road. They could freely breathe in the fresh air. The Sun Shone on the earth through the branches, and there was a carefree peace everywhere.
Du Anran liked this kind of world. She also hoped to live in this kind of world forever. There were no disputes, no conspiracies, and only her own heart was beating.
Freedom was everywhere in the tentacles.
That day, du Anran stayed in the old man's garden until she finished her dinner. In the morning, the little boy's family also came to visit the old man. The old man was very happy. It seemed that he was very eager for this kind of family happiness.
It was almost nine o'clock when Du Anran returned to the seaside villa. She thought that Xin Zimo had not returned, but she did not expect that he was already sitting on the Sofa.
Seeing his dark face, she did not dare to say anything. She changed out of her slippers and prepared to go upstairs.
"where did you go? " It was Xin Zimo who spoke first. His voice was cold, so cold that DU anran could not help but shiver.
"I didn't go anywhere. I was visiting a few old friends. " Du Anran lowered her head and was about to go upstairs again.
"You really don't even blink when you lie now. "
With a clang, Xin zimo placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table.
"It's my freedom to go where I want. " Du Anran did not want to bother with him.
"I hate people who lie to me, " Xin Zimo said coldly.
Du Anran cursed him in her heart for being "self-righteous. " She did not dare to say it out loud, but she also ignored him.
"The scenery in Laidu Garden is very beautiful, isn't it? " Xin Zimo said faintly, but his eyes were staring at her face, watching her every move.
"You followed me! " Du Anran was furious. "despicable! "
What a despicable person, shameless to the extreme.
"Anyway, it's not the first time you've called me despicable. It doesn't matter if it happens again. " Xin Zimo stood up and walked to her.
If he didn't care about her safety, he wouldn't have sent people to watch over her and protect her. She didn't know how many people were using her to blackmail him. She was his weakness.
But if she didn't know, he wouldn't let her know.
"Why did you follow me? ''DuuAnrann was angry.
"I was afraid that you were with another man. " Xin Zimo stood in front of her. "I was afraid that I would be jealous. "
"You! " Du Anran really didn't know that this man could be so shameless, but she was speechless.
"The facts have proven that you are indeed with a man, and a man that I hate. " Xin Zimo's hand slid across Du Anran's face.
"He is your grandfather. There is an unbreakable blood relationship between the two of you, do you understand? Of course, how could a cold-blooded person like you understand? You don't know what love is. " After saying this, she thought of herself again.
"It seems that he has brainwashed you If you see him again next time, tell him not to pretend to be a good person. Of course, I won't give you the chance to see him again. As for who asked you to see him today, I will investigate it clearly."Xin Zimo looked into her eyes and said solemnly Of course, there were still some things in her eyes that Du Anran would never understand.
"You are indeed cold-blooded, heartless, and worse than a beast! " Du Anran flung his hand away and cursed coldly.
Xin Zimo grabbed her hand and pulled her back to her original spot. When he met her eyes, his eyes were filled with coldness and coldness. "Do you really want to see what it means to be worse than a beast? "
He gritted his teeth and held her waist tightly with his right hand. When a strong and dangerous male aura floated up to du Anran's face, her whole body trembled.
"Let go of me, you Scoundrel, beast! " Du Anran could not help but scold him. When she remembered that his grandfather was already a white-haired man, and he still treated her in such a cold-blooded manner, she really felt that he was worse than a beast.
When he approached her face, du Anran could already smell the unique faint male aura on his body. It was thick and deep.
But this time, he only whispered into her ear, "I'm not in the mood today. Next time, you won't be so lucky! "
He let go of her hand, and Du Anran felt relieved and quickly ran away.
When she went upstairs, Du Anran looked back downstairs. He stood where he was. She could not see his expression clearly, only his back, his long body, and his white shirt. He looked a little desolate.
Du Anran locked herself in the room as soon as she entered. It was not her fault to see the old man. Moreover, no matter how heartless he was to her biological grandfather, he was not afraid of thunder.
When she saw the old man today, she felt that the old man was a good person. Although he and her father used to be rivals, he admired her father very much.
Du Anran thought that at the old man's age, he had survived many storms. What was there to be unhappy about.
Therefore, no matter what, Xin Zimo could not not see the old man for twenty years. Even now in London, he still looked indifferent.
Du Anran was really sad for the old man. The evening scenery was bleak. Today, she thought that when she came back, she should discuss with Xin Zimo to see the old man. But now that she looked at it, there was no room for discussion with Xin Zimo.
Du Anran was calm, but this was a family matter, there was no need for her to get involved. She just felt sorry for the old man... ...
That night, she secretly booked a plane ticket to the country. She booked it the night after tomorrow, she wanted to find an opportunity to return to the country, at least that way, she wouldn't have to face Xin Zimo alone every day.
It would be the New Year in a dozen days, she was homesick.
After a tiring day and being taught a lesson by Xin Zimo, Du Anran took a shower and fell asleep in bed.
She didn't have nightmares at night, but at midnight, she dreamed of Xin Zimo.
