I quickly walked into the office and closed the door with my backhand.
An Lan still had the same calm expression, walked to the executive chair behind the desk, and sat down calmly.
I followed her to her desk and said to her: "Don't lie to me now. I know everything. Sean told me everything."
"So?" she asked expressionlessly.
"So..." I suddenly didn't know what to say and was a little dumb for a moment.
In my silence, An Lan said to me again: "So, you can't change anything, can you?"
"I, I... no matter what, you should tell me the truth! Can you handle such a big thing?"
"What's the use of telling you? It will only make things more complicated."
I smiled bitterly: "If you don't tell me, things will become more complicated and I will think wildly, you know?"
I didn't wait for her to speak, so I continued: "You know me, I won't give up until I find the truth."
The way she looked at me finally changed slightly, and she was no longer so cold and frosty.
I then said to her: "Can we sit down and have a good chat?"
She nodded, and I pulled out the chair and sat down. I sighed and said, "Is what Sean said true?"
"What did he tell you?"
"He said that Jiahua Group exists in name, but is actually bankrupt, and now still owes nearly 500 million in foreign debt, still in euros."
"Yes, the Jiahua Group actually fell apart after my father passed away. I already knew that."
"Then you're coming back?"
"What can I do if I don't come back? Avoiding can't solve the problem, and..."
She paused suddenly and said in a more serious tone: "If I didn't come back, you would be in jail now."
I fell silent immediately. She was right, the situation at that time was very dangerous.
An Lan was also forced to make a choice, but she had no choice. If it were me, I would probably make the same choice as her.
In my silence, An Lan said to me again: "So, our meeting was actually a mistake. I shouldn't know you, and you shouldn't know me... In this way, there won't be so many conflicts between us.
"
"I don't think this was a mistake, and I don't think these contradictions are troubling."
"You really think so?"
"Of course, the current situation is obvious. We want to find someone to take the blame. Is that what you mean?"
An Lan didn't answer me immediately, so I continued: "So, let me do it. You take the child back, and I will take the blame."
"Why did you come?"
"Because I am your man."
An Lan suddenly stopped talking again, and her eyes gradually became clearer when she looked at me.
Her crystal eyes were sparkling, with a beam of warm light beating inside, melting my heart in an instant and making me lose myself.
At this time, the only thing I wanted to do was to hold her tightly, rub her into my body, and connect our bones and blood together.
But after a moment, she regained her cold eyes, and then said to me: "Go back and take Xiaoman back. Yangyang can't go back yet. She still has to receive treatment here. Ruixue also goes to school here."
I won’t go back.”
"I asked you to take them back, do you understand?"
An Lan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, this matter is not something you can just resist. It's not as simple as going to jail. It's very complicated... and I still have at least half a year left."
"What do you mean? Do you want to earn these 500 million euros in half a year?"
"I thought so."
I looked at her dumbfounded and said: "An Lan, maybe I can believe that you can earn 500 million yuan in half a year. 500 million euros is more than 3.7 billion yuan. What international joke are you kidding me?"
"This is the only way."
"Here I go, I'll bear all this for you."
"No, don't listen to Sean's nonsense. If he could find someone to replace him, why would he put so much effort into forcing me to come back? Do you understand?"
An Lan's words suddenly stopped me. You are right. If you can just find someone to take the blame, can it be so complicated?
After a moment of silence, I said again: "So, it can only be you?"
"Yes, it can only be me."
I was instantly disheartened, my legs seemed to lose control, and it felt as if my muscles and bones had been taken away.
An Lan suddenly stood up and got out of his desk. His voice became gentler: "Listen to me and go back. These things are not something you can control... In fact, I already knew that I would face this day.
, this is my life."
"Is there just... no other way?"
"Yes, we can collect these 500 million within half a year."
That's too difficult. Five hundred million euros is really not a small amount. It's an impossible thing.
But even though I knew it was going to be so difficult, I couldn't give up. I said to An Lan, "Okay, I'll go back and raise money. I will definitely raise the 500 million euros within half a year."
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. I'm very normal now. I know what I'm doing. Even if I lose everything, even if I sell my blood and kidneys, I will take you back."
"Chen Feng, please don't be like this. Please go back with your children and live a good life in the future. Don't get involved in these things. I beg you."
"It's useless to beg me. I know what I'm doing... Let me ask you, if I were you and you were me, what would you do?"
"I will definitely make a wise choice."
I smiled bitterly and said: "You can't do it. This is what I know about you. Don't say anything. Just wait for me. I can raise 500 million euros."
An Lan sighed heavily, lowered his head and murmured: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you the truth. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to bear it, and I didn't want you to get involved."
"I know. I already knew that you must be hiding something from me, so I went to find Sean."
"sorry!"
An Lan suddenly cried. Although he didn't make any sound, his big tears had already fallen on the smooth marble floor.
Seeing her cry, the defense in my heart completely lost its strength.
I walked towards her, hugged her tightly, and looked at her dreamingly, letting her long-lost sultry breath linger around me, igniting my heartbeat into a fire.
An Lan, how can I control myself from missing you day and night?
I hugged her tightly, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here for everything. I'm your husband. Even if the sky falls, I can help you hold on."
She also lay obediently in my arms, crying until she couldn't stop crying.
I know she must have been through a lot during this time. She has lost weight and is not as energetic as before.
"It's okay, it's really okay. Trust me, I will definitely take you back."
She finally nodded and said to me with choked sobs: "Husband, I'm sorry."
"Stop saying you're sorry. I can understand you. If I were in your shoes, I would make the same choice as you."
She let go of me and looked at me with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, her delicate red lips slowly moved towards me...
