Chapter 90: The Flower of Eternal Life
The night Yang Qichen found it, Xu Anran didn't know how he got home, he only felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards, lying on the bed, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
She clearly felt the change in herself, even if she was not stimulated by the outside world and was not depressed, her fingers would inadvertently tremble, and insomnia was commonplace.
She's so tired......
Countless times, when she soaked in the bathtub and looked at the floating water, she wondered if if she could completely get rid of everything that made her miserable if she immersed herself.
Always on the verge of temptation, always with a voice in the heart, stop.
Under Xu Anran's persuasion, Xu Jianzhong later put down his body and took the initiative to get to know Xu Anran's mother, but the atmosphere of the family was obviously not as good as before.
Fortunately, Xu Jianzhong didn't go out to drink again, most of the time, either went out to negotiate debts or locked himself in the study, didn't let anyone disturb him, and didn't care about anyone, and Xu Anran and Xu's mother were taking care of the family.
Every time he saw his mother's helpless and sad appearance, Xu Anran wanted to talk to Xu Jianzhong, but as long as he thought of Xu Jianzhong's low mood and gray hair, as soon as he walked to the door of the study, he raised his hand and put it down again.
The difference is that today's Xu Jianzhong went out early in the morning, and when he came back at noon, he walked into the house with a briefcase in full spirit, humming a little song on his lips, and his face was full of joy. even took the initiative to say hello to Xu Anran's mother.
Xu Anran's mother was very surprised, and came out of the kitchen with food, unable to take her eyes off the joy emanating from Xu Jian for a long time.
"Is something good happening?" Mother Xu put down the dishes in her hand, held the table, and asked Xu Jianzhong, who was sitting down.
"Ah, haha, that's the thing." Xu Jianzhong smiled and picked up a vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth, and replied.
Xu Anran heard the sound and walked from the living room to the side hall.
"What happened?"
"Shihan, next time you cook, put more meat, it's all vegetarian, it's not nutritious. A few days ago, a lot of unpleasant things happened, so how about we go on a trip as a family? ”
"Can you talk about it first?" Xu Jianzhong's appearance made Xu Mu a little upset, took off her apron, and Xu Mu frowned and asked.
"Ah, that's, it's the debt paid off."
"What!! Debt paid off, Dad, what's going on? Xu Anran exclaimed, 30 million, how can it be said that it will be paid off.
"Surprised, 30 million, in short, I said that if I pay it back, I will pay it back."
"Are you sure? Will you be deceived? Thirty million is not a small number! Mother Xu couldn't believe it.
"Dad, you're not going to borrow loan sharks, are you?" Xu Anran really couldn't believe it, and he was even very uneasy in his heart, where else could Xu Jianzhong take out 30 million money.
"Am I not at all right? Anyway, it's back!! Xu Anran's words suddenly made Xu Jianzhong's face darken, and he threw the chopsticks on the table.
Xu Mu and Xu Anran were taken aback by Xu Jianzhong's sudden move, and they didn't say anything more, the two of them glanced at each other, obviously still doubting Xu Jianzhong's words.
"Okay, okay, the child is also worried about you, just pay it back, let's eat first." Mother Xu changed Xu Jianzhong with a pair of chopsticks, suggesting that Xu Anran sat down to eat first.
After eating, Xu Jianzhong rarely recovered his previous state, hugged Xu Anran's fat chirp, and went out for a walk nearby.
Xu Anran saw his mother cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen and took the initiative to go in to help.
"Mommy, don't worry, I'll ask my father's lawyer."
"Your father, the bankruptcy hit him too hard, and I may still be dizzy, and I'm really worried that he will be deceived."
"I know it all, don't worry, I'll figure things out."
"Yes, don't hate him, no matter what, he will always be your father."
Mother Xu stroked the hair that was scattered in front of her face, and said with some sadness that she knew that she was very selfish to make such a request to Xu Anran, but what could be more important than being together in harmony as a family.
Xu Anran's eyes drooped, she knew what her mother was hinting at.
They are all the same, they all know that Xu Jianzhong is not as simple and kind as he seems on the surface.
However, they all chose to be blindfolded.
Just because they are the closest people to each other.
Loved ones, what a natural and powerful shackle.
……
"Lawyer Wang, can you tell me more about my father's debts?" Xu Anran sat in the teahouse, folded his hands, looked at the meticulous man wearing glasses opposite, and said anxiously.
"Your father's debts have indeed been paid off in full, here's the breakdown."
"Do you know where my father's debt money came from?" Xu Anran took the materials handed over by Lawyer Wang and asked while reading them.
"I've known your father for many years, and I was surprised when he suddenly came to tell me that he had money to pay off his debts. So privately, I also went to check it out. The money was remitted from an overseas account, and the other party seemed to have deliberately concealed his name. But there is nothing wrong with the money, and your father, I can assure you, did not use any illegal means to make up the money. Anyway, you should also understand that he has always been a very cautious person and will not risk such a thing. ”
"Do you know the account where I sent money to my father?"
"This is probably only known to your father, after all, I am only in charge of related matters. However, you can think about whether your father has any friends abroad. ”
"Friends ......"
Xu Anran hesitated for a moment, and his thoughts drifted a little far.
"Miss Xu?"
"Huh? I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, do you know exactly where the overseas you just said is? ”
"I paid special attention to it at the time, and it was in the United States."
"American...... Okay, I see, thanks. ”
She had probably guessed whose masterpiece the money was.
Xu Anran did not contact Yang Qichen directly, but chose to dial Han Li's phone.
Since Xu Anran's temptation last time, Han Li has left a deep impression of Xu Anran's number, and almost the second he saw Xu Anran calling, he connected the phone.
"Is there anything wrong with you? Sister-in-law... Miss Xu. ”
"I'm sorry to bother you. I want to be sure of one thing with you. Did Yang Qichen ask you to help my father pay off his debts? Hearing the voice on the phone, Xu Anran hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
"Why does Miss Xu have such an idea?" Han Li was a little angry, as soon as he mentioned this matter, Han Li felt that Yang Qichen was stupid and not worth it for him, although he would not resist.
"I'm just ......" The other party's tone was very sharp, and for a while, Xu Anran didn't know how to answer.
"I'd rather ask Miss Xu a question than that."
"What?"
"I want to know, what is Brother Chen to Miss Xu?"
"......" I didn't expect Han Li to ask this, Xu Anran was silent.
If it was before, she would definitely be able to give an answer immediately, and she could even give thousands of answers, but now, ...... What is it?
Is it a bond?
"Heh, it turns out that you can't answer it......" Han Li sneered when he saw that Xu Anran didn't answer for a long time.
"I'm ...... with him Perhaps, in the future, it will be strangers. Xu Anran used a very low voice, as if he was answering Han Li, and as if he was telling himself that his heart, which was already full of holes, seemed to have been dug out again.
"I've known Brother Chen for many years, and he seems to be a very deep person, but he doesn't care about many things, and his mind has always been calm. Maybe you think what I'm saying is ridiculous, but that's exactly what I'm saying. If you are not happy, even if there is only one gate left in the built city, he can immediately tear it down for you. Two years ago, Brother Chen came to the United States, did not rely on the Yang family, worked hard alone, and the hardships and sins suffered were probably hidden in a comfortable greenhouse, and you would never experience it. And now... These things happened...... Miss Xu, I don't want to defend Brother Chen, if you really really love each other, I believe you will have your own judgment. If Miss Xu has really decided to leave Brother Chen, I hope Miss Xu will never bother him again, if...... If Miss Xu hasn't made up her mind, there are still two days...... It's Brother Chen's birthday. ”
Han Li's words were like lightning strikes in the sky, and Xu Anran only felt that he had lost the ability to think in an instant, and he was numb.
Oh, yes
There are two days left before his birthday, and if Han Li doesn't say it, she may have forgotten about it......
It's ridiculous.
How could it be so coincidental that it collided with the time when she was undergoing hypnotherapy, is this the so-called predetermined fate?
"Thank you for telling me so much."
She didn't know what to say other than that.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about you asking me if Brother Chen helped your father pay off his debts, I hope you understand."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore."
Xu Anran hung up the phone, looked at the passers-by on the street, clenched his mobile phone, and walked through the pedestrian passage with the crowd.
"Hello Miss, what breed do you need? Do you want to give it to family or friends?"
"For a loved one."
"If it's a lady for a lover, it's actually pretty good with white roses and cotton!"
"Is there an eternal flower?"
"Yes, yes. Here, what color do you need, Miss! ”
"White and blue, two days later, help me deliver it to this address, can you?" Xu Anran wrote a sticky note and put it in the shopkeeper's hand.
"Okay, no problem. Do you need to leave a message? The shopkeeper glanced at the address and the person who received the flowers, and nodded.
"No, just be anonymous."
"Ah...... Good. The shopkeeper was slightly surprised.
Eternal flowers, what a strong promise between lovers, the person who sent this kind of flower probably already loves it deeply, how can there be someone who doesn't want the other party to know.
Again, it seems, is a sad story.
