Chapter 40: absent-mindedness

"brother Zimo, you said that you would accompany me to the concert today. " At this moment, Chi Xue called.

"okay, I'll go now. " Xin zimo slammed the car door. He did not feel good either. In the past few years, he had never been looked down upon by anyone. All the women in city a had coaxed him like they were the stars surrounding the Moon. Yet, it had to come to Du Anran. Good intentions were never rewarded well, and he had to hold in his anger.

When Xin Zimo arrived at the concert, Chi Xue was already sitting there waiting for him. The Lights in the venue were soft and beautiful, reflecting a gorgeous but not flashy light that shone on everyone's faces.

The concert had yet to begin, but someone was whispering. Chi Xue had specially changed into a royal blue dress with slanted shoulders. Her hair was tied up with Red Butterfly knots. Under the light, she was quiet and beautiful.

"Brother Zimo, you're here. " Chi Xue smiled happily when she saw Xin Zimo.

"sorry to keep you waiting. " Xin Zimo sat beside Chi Xue.

"It hasn't started yet. Let's have a drink first. " Chi Xue picked up the glass of red wine that she had poured earlier.

"Alright, I'll drink it first. Consider it my punishment for being late. " Xin zimo downed the glass in one gulp.

The brilliance of the concert flowed, and the sound of the violin playing poured down like milk. On the third floor of the City Evening News, Du Anran successfully signed the contract with the news agency. Du Anran thought that God had finally given her a glimmer of light at her most helpless moment. With this glimmer of light, she would definitely live well. There was still a long way to go in the future... ...

About an hour after the concert, Xin Zimo and Chi Xue were immersed in the beautiful music. In addition to the tipsy red wine, Xin Zimo did not know when Chi Xue sat beside him and held his arm.

At first, seeing that Xin Zimo did not refuse, Chi Xue put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes slightly. She enjoyed this time that only belonged to them.

She remembered that she had liked Xin Zimo since she was young, but later on, her family went abroad. However, she did not know that she would still be able to meet him in her lifetime, or even belong to him.

For the first time ever, Xin Zimo did not reject her. He just silently picked up a glass of red wine and drank it in one gulp. When he turned his head to look at Chi Xue, her sapphire blue dress actually gave him an illusion. Was She anran?

He remembered that Anran liked blue the most. In those two years, when they dated, she always liked to wear a blue dress, just like a beautiful blue enchantress, so beautiful that it was ostentatious and eye-catching.

Chi Xue looked at Xin Zimo's side profile and was also fascinated. She remembered that he had been good-looking since he was young, making all the girls in the courtyard envious. Now that he had the charm of a mature age, she could not take her eyes off him.

Chi Xue held onto Xin zimo's arm. Under the dim light, she slowly approached him, wanting to kiss his side profile.

Just then, a message was sent. Xin Zimo turned his head and picked up the phone on the table. It was from Sun Ping.

"President Xin, the new mayor has been appointed. Guess who it is. "

Xin zimo smiled. He was too lazy to guess, so he replied, "who? "

"Jin Haiguo. " Sun Ping's message was sent back immediately.

Xin Zimo didn't know who it was, so he only ordered, "I'm very grateful to you. Do as you see fit. "

Sun Ping blinked and stared at these words for a long time. No Way, President Xin didn't remember who Jin Haiguo was He came to inform him at the first moment. Why did he act as if nothing had happened.

Sun Ping felt that the emperor wasn't anxious, so he smacked his lips and shrugged helplessly.

By the time Xin zimo thought of such a person, the concert had already ended. Chi Xue drove the Ferrari that Xin Zimo's mother had given her back first. Xin Zimo drove around and felt that something was wrong.

"Sun Ping, what did you say the new mayor's name was? "

"Jin Haiguo, 'Jin' for 'promotion, ' " Sun Ping specially emphasized. He was only short of saying "Jin" for "Jin Shaonan. " President Xin was always slow to realize these things without exception.

When Xin Zimo first knew about Jin Shaonan, he only thought of him as a returnee from overseas. He did not expect that he had an official's father behind him. This time, this official came to city A.

Xin Zimo's attitude was always that he would not offend others if they did not offend him. If they offended him, he would repay them tenfold. Xin Zimo did not take the arrival of Jin Haiguo to heart. However, if he wanted to act like a hoodlum towards Du Anran in the future, he would have to be wary.

Xin Zimo did not return home for the past few days. He stayed in Han Yuan's house and talked to his careless cousin about everything. Xin Zimo's Mother did not call Xin Zimo to go home. However, whenever she was alone at home, she would cry silently.

"Madam, why are you crying? " When mother Xu came in with fruit, Mother Xin was secretly wiping her tears.

"It's nothing, my eyes are just a little uncomfortable. "

"Young Master has made you angry again, hasn't he? "

"No. "

"Sigh, I've followed you for so long, I've never seen you so sad, and I've also never seen young master not go home for so many days. " Mother Xu sighed, she actually knew everything.

"Mother Xu, don't you think I've failed? " Mother Xin wiped her tears, but her eyes were still red.

"young master is so outstanding, and he treats you well. How can you be considered a failure? However, young master is already 28 years old, and he has his own ideas and opinions. "

"I've never restrained him, and I've never asked him personal questions. However, he's becoming more and more disappointing to me... "

"Madam, if everything is viewed from a different angle, it's actually a silver lining. "

"I won't stop him from doing anything, but only don't provoke the DU family, " Mother Xin said resolutely.

"Madam, perhaps you're thinking too much. "I can see that young master is very good to Miss Chi Xue. He has feelings for her. As for Miss Du Anran, perhaps he just doesn't forget his old feelings. As long as someone mediates or enlightens him, young master might be able to understand. ". "young master is a very smart person, " mother Xu said with a smile.

"Is that so? Why don't I feel that? I only feel that he's stubborn! " Mother Xin said angrily. "maybe it's my fault too. I shouldn't have let him get close to the DU family... "

"Madam, I understand the bitterness in your heart. However, the current Shi he has already gone bankrupt, and the DU family mother and daughter are already alone on the streets. Perhaps, we shouldn't force him anymore. "

Mother Xin did not speak again. She only stared blankly at a large pink vase in the living room.

"Auntie, mother Xu, I'm back. " When Chi Xue carried her bag home, she finally woke up the absent-minded Mother Xin. As usual, she looked happily behind Chi Xue, but as usual, she only received a blank.

Xin zimo still did not come back.

"Xiao Xue is back. " Mother Xu understood the disappointment in mother Xin's eyes. She quickly broke the delicate atmosphere and went forward to bring Chi Xue a plate of fruits.

"Mother Xu, these grapes are so sweet. The fruits you bought are so delicious. " Chi Xue smiled and peeled a few grapes for Mother Xin and Fed them to mother Xin.

"Miss Chi is so sweet. " Mother Xu's heart felt like it was smeared with honey as she said happily. To be honest, Du Anran had come to the Xin family before, but she always felt that Du Anran and Chi Xue were two completely different people.

"Oh, by the way, I went to the mall with brother Zimo today and bought a few clothes. Auntie, let me show you. " Chi Xue said as she took out clothes from her handbag and placed them on the Sofa one by one "Auntie, look, these two are for you. Brother Zimo said that you like the dark green color, so he specially picked these two. You like them, right? And this coat is for mother Xu. The weather is going to turn cold soon. Brother Zimo told mother Xu to take care of yourself. "
