Uncle Jin was already old, and he only had Jin Shaonan by his side as his only son. If he really did end up in prison in his later years, it would be a devastating blow to the Jin family.
Du Anran did not dare to imagine how such a thing could happen to uncle Jin all of a sudden.
Uncle Jin had also been an official for many years. Why would he make such an oversight. Someone must have framed him... ...
Du Anran lowered her head and fell into deep thought. Xie Chenjin did not speak either. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and only the sound of birds chirping could be heard outside the window.
"Xie Chenjin, how do you plan to help Uncle Jin? Have you tried to test Uncle Jin's attitude? "
Du Anran knew nothing about political affairs. She did not want to be of any help, so this kind of matter had to be handed over to Xie Chenjin.
"Shaonan and I have known each other since we were young, but I don't have much interaction with Mayor Jin. In my impression, he is a kind and cultured person. Shaonan's mother passed away a long time ago, and Mayor Jin did not remarry,"Xie Chenjin said "But, after being an official for so long, who can guarantee... ah, there are no shortcomings. So, I will continue to inquire about the specific situation. "
Du Anran nodded. "actually, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, I hope that the result is not true. Xie Chenjin, do you understand what I mean? "
Xie Chenjin smiled. "I understand. "
Only then did du Anran feel relieved. "Then, I will go to the Jin family immediately... "
"Sure. I have spoken to Mayor Jin on the phone. Currently, he seems to be calm on the surface in the Jin family. I don't see any clues, but I know that Mayor Jin must be very anxious, " Xie Chenjin said "He even attended the Xie family's press conference last time and took good care of the Xie family. I don't want anything to happen to the Jin family either. "
"I've heard people say that Uncle Jin had many choices at that time. However, he chose city a for some unknown reason... " Du Anran said.
"Anran, do you want to hear the truth? " Xie Chenjin glanced at her.
"Hmm? What are you hiding from me? " Du Anran turned to look at Xie Chenjin.
"It's not that I'm hiding anything from you. It's that Shaonan has been hiding something from you. " Xie Chenjin paused.
"Shaonan has been hiding something from me? " Du Anran was puzzled.
"Mayor Jin did have a lot of choices back then, but in his eyes, he still wanted to live with Shaonan the most, even though Shaonan was a person who advocated freedom. "But there was only one thing that made mayor Jin make a decision. "
"What? " Du Anran listened to him curiously.
"Shaonan called his father and begged him to come to city a, because... during that time, you were bullied. He felt that he was too weak in city a, so he had to borrow his father's help. I don't know if you understand... "
Du Anran was stunned. So... ...
"Shaonan... did it for me... "
"Even if it's not the whole reason, you should know that this is the heart-strengthening drug for Mayor Jin to make the final decision. " Xie Chenjin looked at Du Anran.
These words were spoken when Jin Shaonan talked to him as a true friend. Jin Shaonan also repeatedly told him not to let du Anran know, but he felt that there was no need to hide it.
Especially at a time like this.
"I understand, I understand. I think that the person I have let down the most in my life is Shaonan... "
"You don't have to be sorry. You only gave because you were willing. "
After Xie Chenjin said this, he actually sighed in his heart. There were so many loves in this world that he did not know where they came from, but they were always deep... ...
After sending Xie Chenjin off, Du Anran rushed to the Jin family home.
It had been a long time since she came to the Jin family's villa. In the past, when she lived here with her mother, Jin Shaonan would also come back. At that time, although they were not a family, they were like a family.
Later, she and her mother moved back to Stone Gate Alley, and Jin Shaonan went to his own apartment. Uncle Jin was the only one living in this huge villa.
Today, she came to the villa and looked at the familiar things. Her heart was filled with bitterness.
The Sky was still as clear as jade, and the scenery was still quiet and tranquil. She was a little afraid to open the door. She was afraid to see Uncle Jin's disappointed expression.
She lingered outside the door and remembered the laughter and laughter from before.
She still remembered that once, when Liu Wanwan returned to city a, she brought her to the Jin family home. Then, the dishes on Shaonan's plate were all sprinkled on Wan Wan's clothes.
At that time, Uncle Jin personally cooked for them. Du Anran remembered that Uncle Jin's dishes were very delicious, especially the famous stewed jade prawn.
It was still summer at that time, and now, another summer was coming.
"Miss Du? Are you looking for Mr. Jin? "
Just as Du Anran was hesitating outside the door, the housekeeper who had bought the vegetables from outside asked.
The old housekeeper carried many things in his hands. He was still so kind, just like Uncle Jin. When she was in the Jin family, the old housekeeper also took care of her.
"Butler, I. . . I'm here to see Uncle Jin. "
"Then come in with me! " The Butler opened the door. "Mr. Jin has been locking himself in the study and doesn't come out. Sometimes, he eats three meals a day irregularly. I don't know what happened, but I heard some rumors... "
Du Anran helped the Butler carry the things. Since she was here, she went in to take a look.
Du Anran entered the villa. It was very empty and deserted as before, but the desolation now was not the same as before.
"Butler, don't believe the rumors outside. A Clean House is a clean house, " Du Anran said.
The Butler brought Du Anran into the villa. "Yes, I definitely won't believe it. I've been with Mr. Jin for so many years and have been taking care of Mr. Jin's food and living. I still have a lot to say about Mr. Jin. "
"Well, Butler, you have to take good care of Uncle Jin during this period of time. Don't let some bad words spread to Uncle Jin's ears. Every day, you have to urge Uncle Jin to eat on time. You also have to comfort Uncle Jin. "
Du Anran knew that there was no one else in the villa who could accompany Uncle Jin. Now that Shaonan was also abroad, all of this could only be handed over to the old Butler who had been with Uncle Jin for a long time.
"Miss Du, I understand. I will do my duty. However, I want to ask Miss Du a question. Young Master Shaonan... How long will he be back? "
"I'm not too sure. Shaonan is on a business trip abroad this time. The time is very long and he has to listen to orders at all times. Shaonan probably still doesn't know about the domestic affairs. "
"It's good that he doesn't know. It's better not to let young master Shaonan know about such groundless rumors. Once the rumors are over, everything will be gone. "
"That's right. So, as Uncle Jin's family, we should trust Uncle Jin, " du Anran said with a smile.
"Miss Du, you're right, " the Butler said.
After the Butler handed all the things he bought to the kitchen, he brought du Anran to the living room. He glanced upstairs and said, "Miss Du, Mr. Jin is upstairs. He hasn't come down today. I brought him some food, but he hasn't touched it at all. "
"How can it go on like this... " Du Anran looked worried.
Uncle Jin was old, and even a young man wouldn't be able to bear the physical and psychological blow.
"Miss Du, why don't you go up and persuade Mr. Jin? Mr. Jin Still Likes Miss Du very much, " the Butler said.
The Butler probably thought the same as Jin Haiguo. He thought that Du Anran would marry Jin Shaonan, but in the end, it didn't work out.
However, Love was something that couldn't be forced. If there was no fate, it would be a form of fulfillment if they separated earlier.
"okay, I'll go up and see Uncle Jin. " Du Anran nodded.
The Butler handed a plate of snacks and a cup of honey milk to Du Anran. Du Anran carried the plate and went upstairs to the study.
It had been a long time since she last came to Uncle Jin's study. Previously, Xin Zimo had tricked her into going to the customs building, so she went to the study to ask for Uncle Jin's help.
When she recalled how good Uncle Jin was, du Anran's nose felt sore.
The study door was tightly shut. Du anran knocked on the door.
There was silence inside. There was no sound at all.
Du Anran was very afraid of this unknown silence. This kind of silence would always give her an uneasy signal. Just like when her uncle committed suicide, she ran to his Rattan Chair. No matter how much she screamed, she could never call her uncle back.
At that time, what responded to her was this long silence... ...
Du anran knocked on the door again. She wanted to use the sound of her own knocking to cover up this silence.
"It's not time for dinner yet. " A vicissitude voice suddenly came from inside, but there was no panic. Instead, it was calm and steady as usual.
It turned out that Uncle Jin thought that the Butler had come up again, so du Anran said, "Uncle Jin, it's me. "
There was silence again, but not long after, the door opened.
Du Anran had seen Uncle Jin in the video of the Xie family's press conference the last time. Now that she saw him again, Uncle Jin's face had many wrinkles.
Uncle Jin's eyes were still as firm as before, and when he looked at Du Anran, there was more kindness.
"It's Anran. It's been a long time since she came. "
Jin Haiguo missed du Anran. This girl had a stubborn and indifferent temperament, which he especially liked. In the past, he treated her as his son's girlfriend. Now, he treated her as his daughter.
Du Anran looked at uncle Jin with a smile. In her eyes, Uncle Jin was still the same. He was wearing a dark sweater and looked like the uncle next door. He was kind and amiable.
If it were not for the things Xie Chenjin said today, she would have thought that she was just visiting.
She was not in the country for the New Year this year, and she did not know how Uncle Jin spent the new year in City A. But she knew that every older person hoped that when they were old, they could have children and grandchildren and enjoy the happiness of family.
"Yes, Uncle Jin. I haven't been here for a long time. During this period of time, Shaonan went overseas and didn't have time to take care of you, so he asked me to come over to take a look. " Enran put away all the emotions on her face, leaving only her calmness and generosity She didn't want Uncle Jin to see that she was unhappy.
