North-South Group.

Duan Yucheng roughly swept over the information that Gao Yuan gave her, and there was no difference from the previous times.

He put down the file and glanced at the other envelope on the table, "What is this?"

Gao Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, and said truthfully, "This is from the second lady of the Jian family, take a look!"

Duan Yucheng's eyes sank slightly, and he opened the envelope.

When I saw the object inside, my whole body froze.

Inside is an emerald hollow dragon and phoenix pendant, which was given to her by the old lady when he was 18 years old, saying that it was handed down from her ancestors, there is a pair, and the other is to be left to the future granddaughter-in-law.

Later, the pendant was missing.

It was also suspected that it was taken by the woman that night, but there was no clue.

It's just that he didn't expect that this person would really be Jian Nianen.

Before...... He had always thought that that person would be Jane as promised.

are both sisters, and they have all had a painful experience.

But why Jian Nianen?

If it was her, why didn't she find it after the incident, after all, this pendant is rare in the capital, and if you want to find out whose it is, you can find it casually.

It's only taken out now, and it's really just because it's been a long time since I remembered it?

Duan Yucheng clutched the pendant tightly, his eyes were obscure.

These days, Duan Yucheng and Jian are divided and combined as promised, looking at it from a distance, he knows the boss's temperament very well, otherwise he would not have confirmed three times or twice whether the person that night was Jian Nianen, but now it is really Jian Nianen...... He felt sorry for his boss and Jane as promised.

Duan Zong...... Miss Ruyu's ......"

Duan Yucheng put the pendant in the drawer of his office, and said meaninglessly, "Let's talk about it!"

"Yes. ”

After Gao Yuan left, Duan Yucheng got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office, from here, he could overlook the whole of the whole person's CBD, which was everything that Beinan and the Yu family gave him.

But aside from these, he is just an ordinary person.

Thinking of the words that Jian said on the road outside Baochun last night, Duan Yucheng felt a little irritable in his heart, which was even more complicated than when he decided to retire from the army.

Jane as promised......

You're really ......

Duan Yucheng looked at the gray sky outside the window, his lips pursed into a line, and his eyes were a little uncertain.

-

Huayan.

Jian Ru faced her grandfather's forced question, and smiled helplessly, "But grandpa, even if I am willing...... Can we really be together?"

The old man looked at his granddaughter's reddened eyes and said, "But as long as you like it, grandpa will help you!"

Jane shook her head as promised, "Don't!"

"I don't want you to be that villain, and I don't want to be a grudge with Duan Yucheng in the future!"

She knew that if the old man made a move, she and Duan Yucheng would definitely have a marriage contract.

It's just that she has experienced a marriage that started well and ended in embarrassment.

If she did it again, she didn't know if she could carry it over, and she didn't want to relive the despair that was dark during the depression in her life.

"Grandpa, I really don't want to go through that kind of marriage again!"

Some of the pain and pain can only be understood when you are in it.

Hearing this, the old man sighed heavily, "Grandpa supports you in whatever decision you make, but there is no turning back when you start work, if they are really engaged, you will bear it." ”

Jian Ruyu smiled, "What's unbearable, there is more than one good man in the world, Duan Yucheng." ”

The old man knew his granddaughter's stubborn temperament, and when he saw that she avoided talking about it, he changed the topic, "Also, I take care of that kid in the Gu family is quite good, didn't you still like people when you were a child?"

"Grandpa, where is this, Gu Rong and I are ordinary friends, don't mess with the red line!" Jian walked to the old man's side as promised, took his arm, and shook it like a little girl, "Besides, I want to stay with you for a few more years!"

The relationship between her, Duan Yucheng, and Jian Nianen was already messy enough, and she didn't want to involve innocent Gu Rong anymore.

"Stinky girl, I know that it sounds good, and I don't see you going to see me in the old mansion!"

"I'll accompany you back to dinner tonight!"

"Hmph, that's pretty much it!"

The old man was not happy to stay in Huayan, so he and Jian went back after having lunch outside the company as promised, and when he left, he did not forget to tell her to go home for dinner in the evening.

"Got it, Grandpa!"

Jane smiled helplessly, what an old child.

As soon as she entered through Huayan's revolving door, she saw Jian Nianen coming out holding Wu Shuxian's arm.

When Jian Nianen saw her, she still shouted, "Sister!"

Jane nodded as promised, ready to leave.

Wu Shuxian stopped her, "That's how Jiang Wanmei taught you, you won't even take care of someone when you see it!"

Jian Ruyue didn't have the heart to fight with Wu Shuxian today, and said casually, "Mrs. Jane, good afternoon!"

Wu Shuxian's face froze, "You ......"

"Is there anything else?" Jane looked innocent, "Since it's okay, I'll go up first!"

Before she could take five steps, Wu Shuxian behind her said, "Jian Ruru, no matter how the old man protects you, this Huayan will never be yours!"

Jian Ruyue didn't want to quarrel with her, but Wu Shuxian had to provoke, the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer, and she turned around slightly, "It's not that I can't get Huayan, but I'm too lazy to ask for it!"

She has five percent of the shares given to her by Jiang Wanmei, the old man still has twenty-five percent in his hands, and Jian Sixue and Wu Shuxian together are only twenty percent, even if they recover some of the shares of other shareholders, Jian Ruyue is also the second largest shareholder of Huayan.

All this is still under the condition that she does not fight or grab.

Wu Shuxian sneered, "It's really whimsical, and the old man is not stupid enough to give you all the shares!"

"I don't have that intention!" Jian paused as promised, "I also warn you, don't beat grandpa's idea...... If Grandpa really has a good one, I will never let you go!"

"You think everyone is like your mother and daughter, you can do anything for money!"

"Then we didn't go into destroying other people's families!" Jane smiled mockingly as promised, and turned to leave.

Wu Shuxian's face was pale, and her teeth were itching with hatred in her heart, she couldn't fight Jiang Wanmei before, but now she still wants to be ridiculed by this yellow-haired girl?

She couldn't swallow it.

"Mom, don't be angry......" Jian Nianen comforted.

Wu Shuxian glared at Jian Nianen, "If you are a little angry, will I be so angry?"

Jian Nianen bit her lip and was silent.

"What's the matter with you and Duan Yucheng, can it be done?" Wu Shuxian is most worried about now is the relationship between Jian Nianen and Duan Yucheng, if they can be together, in this Jian family, she will be able to raise her eyebrows.

Jian Nianen shook her head, "I don't know. ”

Duan Yucheng couldn't guess in his heart, except for Jian Ruyu, she was cold to everyone, although she had already cheekily pasted it upside down, but every time, Duan Yucheng could easily waste all her efforts.

I thought that the relationship between the two would make some progress in the last hospitalization, but Duan Yucheng told her, "Jian Nianen, I can give you any reasonable compensation for what happened back then, but feelings, I'm sorry!"

"Any reasonable request, even if I want you to marry me?" Jian Nianen asked him crying.

Duan Yucheng just said lightly, "I'm sorry!"

Thinking that she was repeatedly rejected by Duan Yucheng because of Jian Ruyue, Jian Nianen also felt sorry for Jian Ruyue's sister, and looked at her back with a little more resentment.

Wu Shuxian next to her was still thinking about her, "You, you, it's okay to be careful!"

"Got it!"

Wu Shuxian wanted to say more, but at this time, the employees who went out came one after another, and she pursed her lips and became the elegant and intellectual President Wu of Huayan.

In the evening, Jane went to the old mansion as promised and had a happy dinner with the old man.

After the meal, Jian played chess with the old man for a while as promised.

When the two were fighting, the old man's body suddenly shook, and if it wasn't for Jian Ruyu's quick hand to support him, the old man might have fallen to the ground.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

The old man squinted his eyes, and after the dizziness, he taught Jian Jian as promised, "The chess game is open, how can you give up halfway!"

"Grandpa!" Jian was worried about the old man's body, "Don't think about playing chess, I'll help you go back to your room to rest!"

"What to help, I'm fine...... It's just a little tired!" the old man put his cane on crutches and shook off Jian Ruyu.

Jian Ruyue looked at the old man's stubborn temper, and his temperament also came up, and he couldn't help but put his arm on his arm, "You are walking like flying, can you take me with you?"

The old man snorted arrogantly.

From the study to the bedroom, less than fifty meters, although the old man pretended to be relaxed, the weight that fell on Jian Ruyue's arm was not light, thinking of the appearance of his grandfather in the morning, Jian Ruyue's heart sank little by little.

Three years ago, the old man had surgery for a heart attack.

An old man in his seventies, he still a lot of heart every day...... Jane Ruyue couldn't think deeply.

She glanced sideways at the old man, although she was meticulously organized, like an old Confucian student, but her sideburns were white, the tails of her eyes were brown spots, and the whites of her eyes were yellow, and her spirit was not as good as when they met last time.

With a sharp sour heart, Jane shouted as promised, "Grandpa!"

"What!" the old man was still full of energy.

"I'll move to the old mansion to accompany you, okay?"

"Not good!" the old man glared at her, "I finally have a few days of clean life, don't bother me!"

"But I don't have anyone to cook for myself, and I'm going to starve to death sooner or later...... You see, I'm only ninety pounds now. ”

The old man snorted coldly, "Ninety pounds don't want to kill you, you don't have to lose weight!"

"Grandpa, you don't love me anymore!"

"How old is it, still coquettish...... "What the old man can't bear the most is his granddaughter's coquettishness, but young people have the life of young people.

He glanced at Jian Ruyue and said, "Come often in the future, don't think about staying here with me!"

"All right!" said Jane reluctantly.

When the old man returned to his room, he fell asleep after a while.

Jian Ruyu looked at the sleeping old man, her eyes were sour, and her heart was full of remorse, if she had come earlier, would she have found out that her grandfather was not feeling well.

After accompanying the old man for a while, Jane went to the living room as promised.

The old housekeeper asked her, "Does the young lady go back at night or stay here?"

Jane didn't answer, but asked the housekeeper, "Grandpa...... What's wrong?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "The master said not to tell you!"

"But I know now...... You can't hide it from me!"

"Relapsed...... I've been undergoing treatment lately!"

Hearing this, Jane seemed to be slapped on the head, "When was it recently?"

"It's been half a year!" said the butler.

Half a year later, isn't that the time when she and Xu Fan divorced, no wonder...... No wonder she didn't even notice.

She was immersed in her own emotional world, circling between Duan Yucheng, how could she have the kung fu to take care of the old man.

"That'...... So what's going on now?" Jian Ruyu didn't even dare to speak, for fear of hearing some bad news.

But fortunately, the housekeeper said, "because the intervention is more timely, the current control is better...... Miss, if you are empty, you can often come to accompany the old man, he doesn't say it, in fact, he misses it tightly!"

"I know, I will!"

Before she found out that the old man's heart disease had recurred, Jian Ruyu still thought that he was an all-powerful old man, but when he was sick...... A helpless paleness welled up in Jane's heart.

But now, she also has the ability to protect others.

I asked the housekeeper for the name of the old man's attending doctor, and the next day she skipped work and went to the hospital.

When she went to the hospital, there was only one intern in the attending doctor's office, and when he saw her, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Dr. Xiang Nanxiang!"

"I've gone to the doctor for rounds, you can sit here and wait!"

Jane had waited for nearly an hour, she had barely slept last night, and she was sleepy at this moment.

When Duan Yucheng followed Xiang Nan in, he saw a woman sitting on a stool yawning, she was still wearing a small skirt and a big coat, and she didn't look at the temperature outside.

But when he thought of the coat on his shoulders when he was hugging spring that night, Jian Ruyue and Gu Ronghe left, his eyes darkened.

"Doctor Xiang, this Miss Jane is looking for you!"

The intern's words broke Duan Yucheng's thoughts, and also woke up Jian Ruyue, who was sleepy on the stool.

It's just that when she looked over, she saw Duan Yucheng, and her heart tightened.

She was stunned for a few seconds before she got up and said to the white coat in front of Duan Yucheng, "Hello doctor, I'm Jian Ru, come and talk to you about my grandfather's condition!"

"Okay. ”

Xiang Nan turned his head to Duan Yucheng and said, "Then this matter is as we discussed before, I'll look for you after work!"

Duan Yucheng nodded, turned to leave, and didn't say anything to Jian as promised from beginning to end.

The old man's condition is similar to what the housekeeper relayed, because it recurs after surgery, so he needs to pay extra attention, especially if he can't move.

Jian Ruyu thought of what happened in Huayan yesterday morning, and felt a burst of self-blame in her heart.

"Doctor Xiang, grandpa, can he get better in this situation?"

Xiang Nan pushed his glasses, looked at Jian Ruyue in front of him, and thought of the rumors about Duan Yucheng and this Miss Jian these days, and his tone was more solemn, "Objectively speaking, it won't ...... But the old man's physical fitness is okay, if we usually pay attention, there is no particularly serious impact for the time being!"

"But he almost fainted last night!"

"There is no way to do this, the old man's situation is not suitable for the second operation......"

Xiang Nan said a lot of professional problems related to the condition, and Jian Ru knew a little about it, but she was more helpless in her heart.

"Grandpa's situation...... How long will it last?"

Xiang Nan was silent for a while, "This is currently uncertain, it varies from person to person...... But from what I've observed, one to three years is not a problem!"

One to three years......

So short!

Jane pursed her lips as promised, panicking in her heart.

When she came out of the hospital, she was completely confused.

Yesterday morning, the old man was obviously alive and well, but now in her heart, he is just an old man who may live for three years at most.

Standing on the side of the road in front of the hospital, Jane wanted to smoke a little as promised.

She fumbled in her bag and found a pack of Marlboro in half a day.

A cigarette, stumbling...... It took her a few minutes to click.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and whimpered, crouched down, reached out to cover her mouth, and the white smoke passed through her slender fingertips and into the air, disappearing.

She looked at the gray sky, and her heart suddenly tightened, forcing back the serious tears.

And when she was less than ten meters away, Duan Yucheng sat in the car, frowning, and staring deeply at this embarrassed and sad woman.

The old man's condition, he had already asked Xiang Nan just now, and it was considered good in the case of a second recurrence, but no matter what...... It's all bad news for Jane.

As long as Jian squatted there, Duan Yucheng guarded as long as he was allowed.

Finally, when she watched Jane get into the taxi as promised, she quietly followed.

More than half an hour later, he watched Jian enter Huayan's gate as promised, and was about to turn around and leave, but someone knocked on the window of the car.

"Brother Cheng!" Jian Nianen looked at Duan Yucheng with a look of surprise, "Are you here to find me?"

Duan Yucheng didn't answer, and asked expressionlessly, "Is there something wrong?"

Faced with such a cold attitude, Jian Nianen felt sad for a while, but she still had a reluctant smile on her face, "Brother Cheng, I'm ...... Can I talk to you?"

Duan Yucheng raised his wrist and glanced at the time, and said, "Half an hour!"

Jian Nianen's face was overjoyed, "Good!"

The two went to the tea restaurant next to Huayan and ordered a cup of coffee each.

"Say, what are you talking about?" Duan Yucheng said straight to the point.

Jian Nianen touched the handle of the cup, looking hesitant.

Duan Yucheng looked at her coldly, and he didn't urge.

After half a ring, Jian Nianen said, "I...... I want to marry you!"

"Impossible!"

Jian Nianen held the cup with nervous hands, "But you said that as long as I want it and it is reasonable, you can give it to me!"

Duan Yucheng frowned slightly, "Second Miss Jian, marriage is not child's play, I don't have any feelings for you between men and women!"

"But I love you...... Brother Cheng, I love you!" Jian Nianen's eyes were red, "After that incident, I didn't dare to date boys, and you were the only one all these years...... If even you dislike me, then I might as well die!"

Duan Yucheng is not a fool, and he will not follow her because of the little girl's crying and criing temper.

"Second Miss Jian, I can give you compensation in other aspects, but this one can't do it!"

"Is it because of my sister?" Jian Nianen, who was still full of grievances just now, suddenly became aggressive, "Do you like her, so you reject me?"

Duan Yucheng's eyes narrowed, and there was some impatience in his eyes, "What answer do you want to hear, no matter what it is, it is impossible between me and you!"

"Woo......" Jian Nianen bit her lip and sobbed, "Then what should I do? What should I do? The person who was there that night was obviously you...... The person who drugged me is also a sister, so why do you want to like her?"

"Why?"

Jian Nian'en cried hoarsely.

Duan Yucheng was indifferent, just pulled out some tissues and handed them to her.

Jian Nianen was rejected three times and twice, and the resentment in her heart was greater than the grievance, "Since you said that you can do anything other than get married, that's fine...... You promise me that you can't be with my sister!"

Since she was a child, her sister has been the eldest lady of the Jane family, with unlimited scenery and everything she envies, and later she entered the door of the Jian family as she wished, but she still didn't invite her grandfather to see her, why was Jian born to have everything, and she couldn't get it if she worked hard!

Since this is the case, then she can't get Duan Yucheng, and she shouldn't let Jian get it as promised.

This time, Duan Yucheng's face turned completely cold.

He looked at Jian Nianen and said, "I will discuss this matter with your father!"

After finishing speaking, Duan Yucheng turned around and left.

"Brother Cheng, don't be angry with me...... I love you!" Jian Nianen flew over and hugged Duan Yucheng's waist.

At this moment, Duan Yucheng was furious.

"Let go!"

"I don't want it unless you promise me!"

At this time, Jane, who still had some red circles under her eyes, pushed the door in as promised, and was slightly stunned when she saw the two of them, but only for a moment...... She went to the cashier to order with a blank face.

Jane Ruyue originally planned to come down and drink a cup of sweetness, but now she didn't want to stay even for a minute, and even the sweetest thing felt bitter.

"A glass of American, I'll be served later!"

After paying, she turned around and walked out of the coffee shop, just like when Duan Yucheng left in the hospital in the morning, without a single look.

After Jian left as promised, Duan Yucheng frowned and tore Jian Nianen off his body, "In the future...... Don't touch me!"

Jian Nianen flattened her mouth and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Duan Yucheng's eyes lit up and he left directly.

Jian returned to Huayan as promised, and her mind was full of the picture of Jian Nianen holding Duan Yucheng just now, and she clearly said that she didn't care, but her heart was still uncontrollably uncomfortable.

When will she be able to do not mind, not to care?

Jian Ruyu's whole soul was unstoppable, and she didn't even pay attention to someone moving things in front of her.

When she hit it, the sample books on the cart fell down with a bang and smashed all of them on her.

The spine of one of the books happened to hit the corner of her left eye, and the new book she had just made had some sharp edges and corners, and as soon as it fell, the skin broke at the corner of her eye, and blood was dripping down the corner of her eye.

The employee carrying the book was startled, thinking it had hit her in the eye.

"Mr. Jane—"

Jane was in pain all over her body, one eye was bloody, and the other couldn't open her eyes in pain.

"Mr. Jane...... You ......"

"Fu ...... I...... Get up and ......" Jane said as promised, and the words were not good.

This is, the surrounding colleagues also found out and gathered around.

On the way to the hospital, Jane felt that her left eye began to blur, at first, she thought it was a bloody relationship, but she wiped the blood dry, and her eyes were still mushy.

"Little Jane ......"

"I ...... I can't seem to see clearly in my left eye......"
