The moment I saw An Lan, my tense nerves relaxed, because in this foreign country, the only person I could trust might be her.
An Lan also stood up at the same time and smiled at me, that familiar smile.
"An Lan." I called to her as soon as I entered the box.
She smiled at me and then opened her arms to me for a hug.
This surprised me, because An Lan is a relatively reserved person, and she usually would not be so close to me when there are other people around.
But I hugged her anyway because I missed her so much.
The smell of her body fascinates me as always, it's still that familiar light jasmine scent.
After a long-lost hug, Antonsen came over and said, "You finally meet, let's catch up on old times later."
After Antonsen finished speaking, he went to arrange for the waiter to serve the food, while I kept staring at An Lan, carefully looking at every part of her body.
I found that she had gained some weight, but not much, it was just right.
"An Lan, you seem to have gained a little weight!" I said with a smile.
"Is there any?" she asked.
I nodded and said with a chuckle: "Of course I'm not too fat. It's good. This is good. As long as you're healthy."
An Lan also smiled and said, "Maybe it's because Uncle An took such good care of me after coming here."
After Antonsen heard this, he echoed: "Lanlan, look at what you said, isn't it my duty to take care of you?"
"What's going on with your voice?" I found that her voice seemed a little different from before, but the difference was not big.
"What's wrong with my voice?"
I smiled and said, "I don't know if it's because I haven't heard your voice for a long time or because you've gained some weight. I feel like your voice is thicker than before."
"Oh, maybe it was affected by the wind and cold a while ago."
As she spoke, she quickly asked Antonsen: "Uncle, has my voice really changed?"
Antonsen nodded and replied: "A little bit, but not much."
It's true that there hasn't been much change. If you haven't had much contact with her, you won't feel strange at all. It's just that I'm so familiar with her that I can tell it's her even by the sound of her walking.
Then we talked about other things, but I didn't tell her the real purpose of my coming here in front of Antonsen.
We chatted casually during the meal, and she asked how my mother was doing, and asked me to take some time to take my mother to the hospital for a follow-up check-up.
Antonsen suddenly answered: "Lan Lan, you should do this kind of thing with Xiao Chen. You can go back to China with Xiao Chen this time. There is no big problem here."
I really didn't expect that Antonsen would directly ask An Lan to come back to China with me. I originally thought that I would be greatly hindered this time, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
An Lan said worriedly: "Uncle, there are still a few shareholders who have not signed, and Min Nolan has been putting pressure on me. Is it appropriate for me to go back at this time?"
"Of course I hope you can stay and run the company well with your uncle, but I hope you can be happy even more. This is what your father asked me to do before he died."
An Lan frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, and that familiar expression appeared again.
At first, I fell in love with her because of her anxious, but also full of temperament expression.
Antonsen then reached out and patted the back of An Lan's hand gently, and said with sincerity: "Be obedient, go back with Xiao Chen, prepare for the wedding as soon as possible, and my uncle will definitely come back to witness your wedding."
After saying that, he took out a bank card from his bag, handed it over, and said, "Lan Lan, there is some money in this card, which is a gift from my uncle."
"Uncle, we can't have this."
I also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, uncle, we don't need this money, we can work hard on our own."
Antonsen still insisted: "Take it, this is my personal opinion. Then Lanlan, your shares in the group will still be in accordance with our original plan. I will take half from you and you will keep half. From now on, you will
Even if you don’t have to work hard, it’s enough for you to achieve financial freedom.”
An Lan and I looked at each other again, and of course I listened to her idea.
After hesitating for a while, An Lan took the bank card and said, "Uncle, thank you for taking such good care of me. Chen Feng and I will definitely come back to see you often in the future."
Antonsen nodded heavily, looked at me again and said, "Xiao Chen, be nicer to Lanlan in the future. It's not easy for this child Lanlan."
"I know that I will definitely treat her well, even better than myself."
"Well, this way I feel at ease, and Brother Jiahua can also feel at ease in heaven."
After the meal, I excused myself to talk to An Lan about something private, and called her out of the box alone.
In front of a corridor window, I finally asked her: "An Lan, why couldn't you reach me on your cell phone some time ago?"
"I dropped my mobile phone and all the numbers in it are gone. I'm just trying to find a way to contact you."
"Really?" I looked at her with suspicion.
"Well, this is my new number, please save it." An Lan said and took out his mobile phone.
After I saved her new number, I asked her again: "Have you seen the video and some photos I sent you before?"
An Lan was suddenly silent for a while, then nodded and replied: "I saw it, Chen Feng, I told you, these were all deliberately made by Min Nolan, including that video. I hired a professional to handle it technically.
, it’s a synthetic video.”
"No way?" I said still suspiciously.
"Think about it, even if it is true, do you think the video is that clear? Including those photos, those are photos of the car accident scene. Only the police have them at the moment. Where did Min Nolan come from?"
From what she said, it seemed like this was what happened.
I took a breath and said with confusion: "But why is she doing this? Do you want me to stop you?"
"Yes, she has no way out now. She can only come to you and want to achieve her goal through you. She is really unbelievable. My father was killed by her and his adulterer together."
"But that's not what she told me."
"Of course she wouldn't tell you that. I know she always said it was my uncle who did it, but my relationship with my uncle was very good when my father was alive. After my father passed away, my uncle didn't eat a bite of food for several days.
Didn’t take a sip of water.”
I still feel that the whole thing is a bit strange and I haven't been able to make up my mind yet.
In my silence, An Lan suddenly took my hand and said in a lighter tone: "No matter what, let's just leave it alone, okay? I'll go back with you this time, and let's get married!"
I looked at her, suddenly smiled wisely, and then hugged her into my arms.
No matter, I don't want to care anymore, as long as she is by my side safely, I will be satisfied.
"When will we go back?" I asked in a low voice close to her ear.
"Tomorrow, I have to deal with some things here. I can leave after completing the handover tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
"By the way," An Lan said to me suddenly and seriously, "Don't go see Min Nolan. She is really bad. I hate her."
"Okay, no see."
"Well, let's go back to the box. Don't keep uncle waiting."
