Chapter 53, Hongmen banquet

When President Yang carefully asked Xin Zimo if he needed du Anran to come over, Xin Zimo denied it without even thinking.

He wondered if it was really time to end things between them... ...

When Liu Wanwan arrived at the XIN building, Xin Zimo happened to be free. She looked at the cold, indifferent, expressionless man in front of her and shivered from the bottom of her heart. She could not understand why a young and generous woman like sister anran would fall for such a wily old man... ...

"My time is limited. I hope you can hurry up. " Xin zimo looked at Liu Wanwan. Was She du Anran's good friend?

"Oh! " Liu Wanwan quickly came back to her senses, but when she met Xin Zimo's cold gaze, she could not help but shudder.

She asked a few polite questions. They were nothing more than questions about future planning and development prospects. Xin Zimo answered them succinctly and concisely. Liu Wanwan saw that although Xin Zimo was cold, she cooperated. Therefore, when she finished asking the questions, she ventured to interject, "CEO Xin, have you really not had any feelings for sister Anran these two years? "

He probably didn't realize that Liu Wanwan would ask such a question. He paused for a moment. "I just haven't learned how to love someone. "

Liu Wanwan blinked, seeming to understand but not really. She didn't ask any more questions, packed her things, and prepared to leave. However, Xin Zimo waved his hand. "sit down, I have something to ask you. "

Liu Wanwan didn't refuse. She nodded and waited curiously for Xin Zimo to continue.

"Forget it, I won't be able to finish it in a while. Tomorrow night at six o'clock, you go to Moonlight restaurant and wait for me. I'll book a seat in advance. " Xin Zimo thought for a moment and hesitated.

Liu Wanwan guessed that it had something to do with Du Anran, so she agreed without thinking too much.

After sending Liu Wanwan off, Xin Zimo stood on the thirty-sixth floor and looked down. There were cars coming and going on the viaduct outside the building. He picked up his phone again and dialed a familiar number.

Du Anran was very surprised when she received a call from Xin Zimo. At that time, she was organizing a manuscript and was already very busy. When she saw that it was another call from Xin Zimo, she instinctively rejected it.

However, Xin Zimo was quite patient. He did not get through the first time, so he started the second time, the third time, the fourth time... ... Until du Anran had no choice but to answer the call ...

"Tomorrow Night at seven o'clock, moonlight restaurant. I'll treat you to dinner, " Xin Zimo said bluntly and indifferently.

"I'm not free tomorrow night. "

"whether you're free or not is not up to you. I'll wait for you at seven o'clock on time. "

"then you can wait alone! " Du Anran was very angry. Why was he always like this? He never cared about her feelings. Did he really treat her like a doll?

"I just want to talk to you about your uncle Du Yuantong. If you're not free, then forget it. "

"UNCLE? " Du Anran was shocked. Although she talked to her uncle on the phone once a week, she had not seen him for a long time.

"Moonlight restaurant, seven o'clock. Don't make me wait too long. "

Xin Zimo did not wait for du Anran's reply. He hung up the phone. He knew that she would definitely come. He had already grasped all of her psychology. In her heart, she could abandon her career and love, but she would never abandon her family.

He had always tried hard to be her family, the people closest to her, but the harder he tried, the more distant they became... ...

The next night, Du Anran left the newspaper office after work and went to moonlight restaurant. This was the place where she and Jin Shaonan often ate, but today, she was going to be with Xin Zimo.

When she rushed to the reserved seat, it was 6:50, but the seat was empty. Xin Zimo said to wait for her, but there was no one there.

Du Anran could only sit in the seat and wait for him.

Outside the French window, under a camphor tree, Xin zimo stared at Du Anran without blinking. Her every move was in his eyes. He hid in the dark and made a phone call.

"Give me the red wine that I ordered for seats 26 and 45. "

In seat 26, Liu Wanwan was drinking the wine in her glass in one gulp. Sitting opposite her was Jin Shaonan.

"President... why isn't President Xin here yet... " Liu Wanwan was already drunk. She was too anxious and couldn't help but feel a little resentful ...

"Wait a little longer. He said that he has something to discuss with the news agency. From his tone, it doesn't sound like he's joking. " Jin Shaonan also drank the wine in his glass. Xin Zimo had called him yesterday. He didn't want to go to any of Xin Zimo's appointments, but it was related to his job and the news agency. After weighing the pros and cons, he still came over.

"I thought he wanted to ask me about sister Anran... " Liu Wanwan couldn't hide her words, and this time, when she drank the wine, she spoke even more incoherently.

She didn't know why the wine was so strong. After a few glasses, Liu Wanwan couldn't take it anymore. In her drunken Stupor, she actually sat beside Jin Shaonan.

Actually, from the first time she met Jin Shaonan in the Jin family, Liu Wanwan had a good impression of Jin Shaonan. In addition, after spending so much time with the news agency, she knew that Jin Shaonan was a gentleman and a modest person. However, Jin Shaonan had long fallen in love with sister Anran. She had been suppressing her feelings until now, when she sat beside him without caring about anything else.

Xin Zimo, who was hiding in the dark, curled the corners of his lips. Sure enough, alcohol could cause sexual disorder. He walked into the Moonlight restaurant from the corner. Du Anran was still waiting alone. When she saw that he had finally arrived, she curled her lips.

"Do you know where my uncle is? " Du Anran went straight to the point and asked.

Xin Zimo was not in a hurry. He filled du Anran's glass with red wine. "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Let's have a drink first. "

Du anran downed the wine in one gulp and said calmly, "I don't want you to lie to me again! "

"In any case, I'm a liar in your eyes. So what if I do it again? " Xin zimo gave a mocking smile.

"You! " Du Anran realized that she had been fooled again. She was so angry that she stood up and wanted to leave.

"alright, drink this glass of wine. I'll tell you where Du Yuantong is. "

Du anran drank the red wine in her glass with a skeptical attitude. She lit up the bottom of the glass. "Can we talk about business now? "

"Du Yuantong borrowed a million dollars from the underground bank a few days ago. He lost all his bets and was beaten up for a few hours. He almost lost his life. " Xin Zimo was expressionless and only drank the red wine in his glass quietly.

No wonder there was no news of his uncle for a few days... ... Du Anran frowned. "Then where is my uncle now? "

"Drug Rehabilitation Center. " Xin Zimo said calmly, "he was beaten half to death by someone. He was probably lucky. The patrol police happened to pass by and saved his life. Now, he is being taken to the Drug Rehabilitation Center for compulsory detoxification. "

Du Anran felt a surge of uncontrollable bitterness. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of red wine and choked until tears flowed out. She could not hold her liquor well to begin with, so she looked very Pale and dejected.

"Xin zimo! " She called his name. "My uncle's today is all thanks to you! "

"His hands and feet are on his body. I don't like to hear you say that. " Xin Zimo held the wine glass and looked at her quietly. Compared to her disheveled state, he appeared elegant and noble.

Wherever Xin zimo looked, Liu Wanwan was already in a daze. She had been drunk in Jin Shaonan's arms several times. Although Jin Shaonan had pushed her away, Jin Shaonan had drunk his wine after all. After a few times of pushing and shoving, he was also a little drunk.

"Tell me, which Rehab Center? " Du Anran tried hard to hold back the bitterness.

"actually, compared to this question, I think there is something here that you are more interested in... " Xin Zimo said halfway and looked at Liu Wanwan and Jin Shaonan with full attention.

Following his gaze and bypassing a few decorative plants, she actually saw Liu Wanwan and Jin Shaonan that she had not noticed before!

At this moment, Liu Wanwan was lying drunk in Jin Shaonan's arms with a charming smile on her face. Liu Wanwan was born to be a pleasant person. After a few glasses of wine, a beautiful blush appeared on her face, which was even more tempting to look at.
