Chapter 323, the accident

Xin Zimo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took out the key from his pocket. In order to open this door, he specially found someone to make this key.

After opening the door, Du Anran grabbed his hand again.

The yard was gloomy and cold. It was almost summer, but it was still like winter here.

Du Anran saw a gardenia in the yard. It had already broken its buds and was emitting a faint fragrance. This Gardenia tree made du Anran feel that there was life here.

"Can I not go in... " Du Anran chickened out at the last minute. She really did not know the purpose of Xin Zimo bringing her here.

Just as she finished speaking, the sound of metal chains came from the room, accompanied by the sound of "Wu Wu Wu" .

"Coward, stand at the door later. "

Xin Zimo pulled her into the room. With a push of the door, a moldy smell assailed her nose.

Xin zimo quickly covered du Anran's nose. "Bear with it. Ever since Xiao Qingqing left, no one has come to see her. "

Du Anran nodded vigorously, but she could not speak.

Xiao Lanzhen saw that someone was coming, so she dragged the chain and rushed over. However, the chain had a length limit. Before she could get far, the chain pulled her back to where she was.

On the other hand, Du Anran was so scared that she took a few steps back. She observed the room. It was still the same as last time. If there was a change, it was more dust, and the air was even worse.

As for Xiao Lanzhen, she was still the same. Her hair was disheveled and her face was dirty, and her clothes were already dark. Her eyes seemed particularly hollow. Perhaps it was because she was thin, so her eyes were wide open.

Xiao Lanzhen had been looking at them the whole time. It was obvious that she recognized them.

"Anran, do you remember the last time we came over, she didn't finish her sentence? " Xin Zimo asked.

"She said... " Du Anran thought for a moment. "The last thing she said was 'I didn't do it' ... "

It was just that there were too many things that happened after that. She had no choice but to forget some things. It was only now that she and Xin Zimo had returned to this place that she recalled every detail of what happened that day.

That day was like a nightmare that couldn't be washed away.

But no matter if it was a demon or a beautiful dream, they would all pass away... ...

"Yes, that's what I said, " Xin Zimo said "At that time, you said that she had an intermittent mental illness and would come back later to take a look. But I knew that she was your mother and daughter's nightmare and that you wouldn't come back. So, after that, I came here a few times alone. "

"You mean, what did you discover? " Du Anran asked.

"Ask her. " Xin zimo pointed at Xiao Lanzhen.

"will she... Tell me? " Du Anran hesitated ...

Xin Zimo took a step forward and walked to Xiao Lanzhen, but he kept a distance from her.

"Tell me what you told me last time. " Xin zimo's tone was very fierce.

Sure enough, Xiao Lanzhen retreated a few steps and only stared at Xin Zimo with her eyes wide open.

"Xiao Lanzhen, it's about you coming back to look for Du Yuanheng, " Xin zimo reminded.

"I don't know. I didn't do it! " Xiao Lanzhen suddenly shouted, giving Du Anran a big scare.

"really? That's not what you told me last time! " Xin Zimo was very strict.

"I didn't tell you anything, what did I tell you! " Xiao Lanzhen went back on her words.

Du Anran stood at the door and watched their every move. She was a little afraid. She was thinking, what if Xiao Lanzhen suddenly broke free of the chain!

Of course, her worry was unnecessary. The chain was very thick, and Xiao Lanzhen couldn't escape at all.

"You won't repeat it again, right? Then I don't mind repeating what I said. " Xin Zimo's tone was ruthless "If you don't want to say it, from tomorrow onwards, you'll starve to death. You must have never experienced the feeling of starving to death, right? I see that you can't wait to try it. "

Xiao Lanzhen was finally afraid. She shook her head repeatedly, and after shaking her head, she nodded desperately.

"I'll say, I'll say... don't starve me to death... don't starve me to death... "

Du Anran saw that there were indeed many things on the ground, and they all looked fresh. It definitely wasn't bought by Xiao Qingqing, so it could only be provided by Xin Zimo.

If Xin Zimo cut off her path, she could only wait to starve to death.

"Finish every word, " warned Xin Zimo.

Xiao Lanzhen nodded. "I'll talk, I'll talk... "

Du Anran did not know what Xin Zimo wanted her to say, so she stood aside and listened attentively. At this time, Xiao Lanzhen was still in a normal state of mind, so she probably would not lie. Besides, lying would not do her any good.

"later, I. . . Didn't I come back to look for Du Yuanheng? Qingqing and I really could not live on, so I went to look for du Yuanheng to ask for money. "

"money was really nothing to Du Yuanheng. He also felt that his brother had done something wrong, so he readily agreed to me. At that time, I also thought that if he could agree to me so easily, he would definitely agree to my other requests... "

"So, I told him that I liked you, that you divorced that woman, and we got married... ... I only said that because I was really desperate .. Of course, du Yuanheng didn't agree to me. Later, we had an argument, and I forgot to take the money and left... ... ..

"when I left, it happened to be evening. It was raining heavily, and there was thunder. I didn't know if I was possessed. At that time, I wanted to take revenge on the DU family. I went to the world and pulled the construction rope for a large project..

"I. . . I. . . I really didn't expect... that someone would die... "

When Xiao Lanzhen said this, her entire being sank into a kind of distress and self-blame.

Du Anran was stunned, and suddenly understood. She asked Xin Zimo in a low voice, "your father... did something happen that time... "

Xin Zimo's face revealed a mournful expression. After a long while, he nodded. "Yes. "

After receiving Xin Zimo's affirmative answer, Du Anran was completely stunned. So, it turned out that the main culprit of that accident over the years was Xiao Lanzhen... ...

There had always been people who thought that it was just a lack of supervision by Shihe that caused such a big accident at the construction site. They did not expect that someone did it on purpose. Including her and her mother, they all thought that it was a lack of supervision by Shihe that caused the accident.

Of course, it also included Xin Zimo and Xin's mother. Everyone blamed Shihe and the DU family for this.

"later on, continue, " Xin Zimo said to Xiao Lanzhen.

"later on, I was really scared. I was really scared. I didn't think that there would be so many lives lost... "I went to Du Yuanheng and begged him to let me live "If the police came, they would definitely find out about me "I cried and begged Du Yuanheng. Du Yuanheng didn't agree at first, but I threatened him to tell others about the scandal of the DU family

"Just like that, Du Yuanheng agreed and helped me hide the matter. Later on, I heard that Du Yuanheng paid for the compensation, but the police really didn't find me... I didn't dare to go to the DU family anymore, so I hid here with Qingqing... "

Du Anran was shocked. She didn't expect her father to protect Xiao Lanzhen by a mistake, but he had planted the foreshadowing for everything that happened after that.

Fate was the most heartless thing.

Xin zimo listened to Xiao Lanzhen repeat the past again, and his heart ached.

Du Anran knew that Xin Zimo was not feeling well, but in order to make her and her mother feel better, he personally brought her here.

Du Anran took a few steps forward and held Xin Zimo's hand.

She found that his big, warm hand had become cold at this moment. She held his hands. Perhaps, two cold hands could keep each other warm... ...

"I'm done... " Xiao Lanzhen heaved a sigh of relief as if she had completed a mission.

Speaking of the past, Du Anran realized that she was still trembling in fear.

"Xiao Lanzhen, your life has been a failure, " Du Anran said to her.

This woman had lived her entire life in a world of her own and greed. She had lived a miserable life until now.

Sometimes, the person who caused the tragedy was herself.

"I will regret it, but what's the use of regretting it... " Xiao Lanzhen smiled bitterly.

"because as long as you regret it and don't take action, you don't pull yourself together and don't put in your own effort. You only know how to take and enjoy the fruits of your labor, " said Du Anran.

"I have already paid the price of my life, and I don't have a lifetime to start over... " Xiao Lanzhen's eyes were still empty.

"Anran, I brought you here today to tell you that back then, you and your mother weren't in the wrong. Your father was in the wrong, but your father has passed away, " said Xin Zimo.

Du Anran lowered her head. After a long while, she looked up at his eyes. "then... are you willing to forgive us? "

"I told you a long time ago that I no longer hate the DU family. It's just that my mother still needs time. " Xin zimo looked at her.

Du Anran smiled. "Let's go back. I haven't had dinner yet... "

"okay. " Xin Zimo held du Anran's hand and brought her out of the room.

Behind her was the sound of Xiao Lanzhen dragging the chain. It was very loud. She also shouted anxiously, "don't forget what you said. Send me something every other week! "

Xin Zimo did not bother with Xiao Lanzhen anymore. He just held du Anran and walked out of the courtyard. The environment here was not good. Xin Zimo was afraid that Du Anran would not feel well if she stayed here for too long.

Before she left, Du Anran took one last look at the small house under the dim light. She would never come here again!

She would bury the grudges that had existed for twenty years. Until one day, Xiao Lanzhen also passed away... ...

"She didn't have an illness today, but she's still conscious. " On the way back, Du Anran said to Xin Zimo.

"actually, she's awake most of the time, but when she's awake for a long time, she'll be in pain, so as time goes by, she'll have intermittent mental illness, " Xin Zimo said.

"Will you come to deliver things to her often in the future? " Du Anran was very curious, because this was the direct murderer who hurt his father's life.

"I just promised her, people can't go back on their words, right? I'll get my assistant to come over in the future, " Xin Zimo said "However, she was able to live in the past because Xiao Qingqing was still alive. Now that she has no one to rely on in this world, I think she won't be able to live for long. "
