Si Lan turned off the computer, rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers, and his eyes fell on the chocolate bottle on the table. He sighed, took it into his hand and shook it. He opened the lid and pressed it, opened and pressed it again. In the silent room, there was only
There was a dull sound. I didn’t know how many times I repeated this action, but I finally poured one into my hand and swallowed it with difficulty.
I have been back for a week.
Ling Jiuyue called her a week ago, saying that she had discovered something fishy about Lan Yi's death, and asked her if she was interested in coming back to help him continue his investigation. Originally, she wanted to refuse, as the Lan family's affairs had nothing to do with her.
But Ling Jiuyue told her that this matter was related to Lan Sichen.
After much hesitation, I finally came back.
Lan Sichen is already in jail, what else is he hiding from himself, why Lan Yi committed suicide after meeting him, and what is hidden behind these two things.
Could it be——
Is Lan Sichen the mastermind who ordered Lan Yi to kill Qiao Xue and the housekeeper?
Will Lan Sichen have the heart to kill Qin Xin's mother?
All these mysteries were stuck in her heart, they were very heavy and there was no way to solve them. Moreover, Qin Xin and she were related by blood, so there was something else that she didn't know about.
And whose daughter is she? What does it have to do with the Qin family?
——She really wants to know these things.
Florence, private hospital.
In the high-end ward, it was clean and tidy. The man was leaning against the pillow, his face pale, but he looked content and disapproving. The woman sitting on the side had blond hair, carefully peeling an orange in her hand and handed it to him.
Helianze and Lin Jiu strode in and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the people on the bed were safe and sound.
"Fortunately you're okay."
Xu Ningmo's pale lips curved slightly: "What can happen to me!"
"Half a month ago, when you asked us to come back, someone was already trying to kill you. You were lying in the hospital for half a month. It's happening again this time. Who is that person? Why did they want to kill you?" Lin Jiu said calmly.
Xu Ningmo didn't say anything, just ate the orange quietly.
The woman sitting on the side said, "Where's the man?"
"She is still investigating this matter." Helianze replied.
"Stop checking, there's nothing to check." Xu Ningmo said calmly.
Helianze knew what he meant. It was almost the same half a year ago, and nothing would be found half a year later. But why did someone want Xu Ningmo's life again and again?
"Do you want me to inform Slan?"
They haven't contacted Si Lan for half a year. Xu Ningmo had strictly ordered no one to contact Si Lan and not let her know about Xu Ningmo's injury!
But seeing the same thing happen again, if Silan never comes back, I really don’t know if Xu Ningmo will be lucky enough to wait until Silan comes back.
"No need." Xu Ningmo finished eating the orange and his eyes fell in front of Lin Jiu: "You and Ling Jiuyue still keep in touch?"
"Yes." Lin Jiu answered honestly.
Xu Ningmo looked at her and said nothing. Lin Jiu thought for a while and continued: "He told me that there were new discoveries in Lan Yi's case, and he had notified Si Lan to go back. Now Si Lan has gone back."
A hint of surprise flashed in Helianze's eyes: "Silan has gone back? Why didn't I know?" Why didn't the pervert tell him that Silan had gone back! Did he do it on purpose?!
"It seems that your lover is not very loyal to you either." Xu Ningmo glanced at her lightly, no doubt despising Helianze. The lover you chose is so bad and does not help you at all.
Helianze scratched his hair in frustration: "Wait until I get back and see how I deal with him." It's so outrageous that he should be so embarrassed!
Xu Ningmo kept his gaze on Lin Jiu and said calmly: "You go back to help Si Lan first, and we will set off tomorrow."
"Yes." Lin Jiu nodded without any objection.
"Me?" He Lianze asked eagerly. He couldn't stay here when Lin Jiu went back! If the two places were separated like this, the pervert might really rebel.
"The doctor said it will take another month for my legs to stand up. I have to trouble you to push my wheelchair for a month." Xu Ningmo said with a warm face, as if he didn't feel that he was going too far.
Helianze immediately exploded: "There are too many people to push the wheelchair for you, and I am the only one missing! No, I have to go back with Lin Jiu! How can she help Si Lan by herself, let alone when she sees that Ling Jiu
Jiu Yue is so dizzy, how can she remember to help Si Lan!"
Xu Ningmo glanced at her, with a smile on her lips, and said casually: "Did Lin Jiu get dizzy when he saw Ling Jiuyue, or did you get dizzy when he saw Lan? Huh?"
Helianze was speechless and his nostrils were dilating with anger but he did not dare to make a mistake in front of Xu Ningmo.
Lin Jiu dragged him out alive to prevent him from getting into trouble if he got really excited and really annoyed Ann.
Only Xu Ningmo and the woman were left in the room. She peeled another orange and handed it to him, with clear eyes and a charming voice that was sharp: "Are you afraid of what I will do to her if you don't let her come back?"
Xu Ningmo ate an orange and said slowly: "I'm afraid of what she will do to you."
"What do you mean?" The woman narrowed her eyes, feeling a little displeased.
"Keqin, the woman I believe in will never change." Xu Ningmo did not answer her, but expressed his position once again with a faint sentence.
"I really don't understand why it's her." Keqin's lips curled up with a disdainful smile. She never lost to Si Lan no matter where she was, but why did Xu Ningmo insist on wanting that woman! Even that woman didn't disdain her.
Come and see him!
Xu Ningmo didn't want to answer such boring questions like hers. There were many things that couldn't be explained. If there was an answer, it could only be fate. It was destined to be her, and no one else could replace it.
Her warm eyes turned to the window, and the green buds growing out of the branches were like a new beginning. As if she thought of something, she raised her thin lips with a shallow smile and murmured to herself: "Half a year has passed, and we are finally here again."
We’re going to meet.”
This time, no one can take you away from me.
Keqin didn't speak anymore, her eyes followed his line of sight, falling on the green buds outside the window, and there was a hint of gloom in her eyes. After all, they were once husband and wife, even if it was just in name, but at least she understood him and knew that he was there
Think——Slan.
...The dividing line between pure young masters...
Silan walked to the door of the orphanage again. He had been busy with the company and other things for so long, and had no time to come here. In fact, deep down, he was a little scared, afraid of seeing the child.
He must have been very sad and angry when he ran away like that before. I wonder if he would still like to call me mommy.
"Mommy..." Hearing Qingzhi's voice, Silan froze, turned around and saw Xu Xiaozhe, his eyes were startled, and then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Xiaozhe!"
Xu Xiaozhe shook off the person holding his hand, ran towards Si Lan, and hugged her: "Mommy, Mommy, you finally came to see me..."
Si Lan knelt down and hugged him, feeling his excitement and feeling warm in his heart, as if the softest part deep in his heart had been touched.
"I'm sorry, Mommy made a mistake last time. Are you angry?"
"No!" Xu Xiaozhe shook his head, his clear eyes full of excitement, looked at her and said: "I ran too slowly, so mommy couldn't wait for Xiaozhe, but Xiaozhe ate well and ran every day.
I will definitely run quickly next time and won’t keep mommy waiting too long.”
Silan's heart felt sour, his eyes were filled with mist, and he rubbed his hair with his palms: "Silly boy, you ran very fast. It's Mommy's fault..."
"Mommy comes to see Xiaozhe, and Xiaozhe is very happy! Mommy doesn't cry..." The child's hands were soft and boneless, holding Si Lan's cheek, feeling warmly moved.
Si Lan nodded, with a faint smile on her lips. She could smile when facing children, especially such a well-behaved and sensible child, which made her feel heartbroken. She hugged Xu Xiaozhe again, and her eyes fell on the person who was holding Xu Xiaozhe just now.
——Lan Ruixiu.
There was something flowing in Lan Ruixiu's deep eyes, as if the cheetah had seen a target it could attack. It kept staring at Si Lan with a half-smiling expression, as if to say - I knew it was you who came back.
Silan let go of Xu Xiaozhe, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his cold eyes met Lan Ruixiu: "Why did you take Xiaozhe out?"
"It's weird?" Lan Ruixiu raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on Xu Xiaozhe: "Anyway, he calls Lan Sichen daddy and you mommy. Why should I take care of him? It's not in vain.
He called me uncle."
Xu Xiaozhe smiled brightly and had no idea what was going on between adults. "Mommy, Mommy, this is uncle."
Silan pulled Xu Xiaozhe to prevent him from getting close to Lan Ruixiu. Juanxiu's brows furrowed, and she had an intuition - Lan Ruixiu was not so kind-hearted and would be nice to an orphan.
"He calls Lan Sichen daddy, you let him call you mommy...you really have lingering feelings for Lan Sichen..."
"Shut up!" Si Lan interrupted him coldly, covering Xu Xiaozhe's ears with both hands, and returned his cold gaze to his face: "Don't talk about us in front of the children."
Xu Xiaozhe raised his head and looked at Si Lan blankly. He didn't understand why she showed such a face to her uncle. Doesn't mommy like her uncle?
Lan Ruixiu's eyes narrowed slightly with a chill, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This child has no relationship with you. If it weren't for Lan Sichen's relationship, would you let him call you mommy? You can fool yourself,
You can’t deceive others. The person I saw in Chengbei Prison that day must be you...you went to see Lan Sichen!"
Just Si Zi him. "So what if it's me?" Si Lan asked back, "I take care of my ex-husband's children, so what if I go to see my ex-husband in jail? What's your relationship with me? When will it be your turn to speak about my affairs?"
"You..." Lan Ruixiu's face darkened, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He almost forgot that she was no longer the girl who would cry when he talked about it, but a sharp-tongued little wildcat, full of energy.
Spiny little hedgehog!
"Have you forgotten what I said at the airport when you left?" Lan Ruixiu's voice paused and he said in a more serious tone: "I said, if you dare to come back, I will never let you go again! Absolutely not.
Leave again!"
A chuckle appeared at the corner of Silan's mouth, "If you want to imprison me, it depends on whether you have the ability! But I don't want you to get close to this child again. If he is even slightly injured, I will not let you go."
After finishing speaking, he bent down and picked up Xu Xiaozhe, and said in a soft voice: "Xiao Zhe, be good, say goodbye to uncle."
"Goodbye, uncle."
Lan Ruixiu's face was ashen, and he squinted his eyes as he watched her walk into the orphanage with the child in her arms. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her veins were bulging.
Si Lan, is it this child or Lan Sichen that you care about?
Silan carried Xu Xiaozhe back to the orphanage room. There were several children sleeping in the same room as him. It was meal time now. All the children were eating in the cafeteria, and there was no one in the room.
Xu Xiaozhe climbed back into his bed, pulled out a worn book from under the pillow, and pointed it to her with a bright smile on his face: "Mommy..."
Silan put something on his bed, saw the worn book and didn't know what it was, and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Xu Xiaozhe sat next to her and opened it to show her - "Photos from my previous birthdays! There are daddy, mommy, and me..."
Silan took the crumpled photo, with the corners rolled up. It was obvious that he held this photo every night. Fortunately, it had been plasticized, otherwise the color would have faded.
"Do you have to look at this picture every day?"
Xu Xiaozhe nodded: "I don't know when Mommy and Daddy will come to see me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to remember what Mommy and Daddy look like after a long time, so I look at it every day so that no matter how long it takes, I can recognize Daddy at a glance.
Mommy!”
My heart felt sour and swollen, I stretched out my hand to hug him into my arms, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't come to see you until now!"
"It doesn't matter...it doesn't matter..." Xu Xiaozhe shook his head, still keeping a smile on his face.
Si Lan hugged him for a while, put him down, and said seriously: "Xiao Zhe, remember, if your uncle comes over in the future, you still have to call someone, but don't go out with him again; don't go out with others easily."
"Why?" Xu Xiaozhe scratched his hair in confusion.
Silan held his little hand, not intending to explain, and even if he did, he wouldn't understand. "Anyway, remember what I say, never go out with strangers, okay?"
"Yeah!" Xu Xiaozhe nodded obediently.
Si Lan felt relieved and went to get a bag, which contained new clothes, stationery, and some snacks.
"Put away your stationery and clothes. Now take the snacks and share them with the other children."
"Okay!" Xu Xiaozhe held the bag but did not leave. He stood at the door and looked at Si Lan.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Xiaozhe said hesitantly: "Will Mommy leave when I come back like last time?"
Silan was stunned and shook his head gently: "No, I promise you, I will wait until you come back before leaving. If you can't see me in the room, just look around. I will just walk around the orphanage, you
You can definitely find it.”
After Xu Xiaozhe heard her promise, he ran out with peace of mind. Before leaving, he did not forget to say that he would run back soon!!!
The smile on Si Lan's lips gradually disappeared. He really didn't expect to meet Lan Ruixiu so soon. Although he said he had no hatred towards the Lan family, he didn't want to have any contact.
After all, Lan Ruixiu is Lan Ruixiu, and he is not someone who just gives up.
