As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Xingwan came down the stairs.
She smiled and called: "Mr. Jin."
Mr. Jin waved to her: "Come on, come and sit."
Ruan Xingwan walked over and sat next to him.
Mr. Jin held his crutches with both hands and said with a smile: "When did you come here?
I also said I would go pick you up, but I was afraid of delaying your business."
"I just arrived a while ago."
"That's pretty much it."
Mr. Jin said, his eyes fell on her clothes, and he wondered, "Where did you get so much dust?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan paused in holding the tea cup.
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's nothing. Miss Lin just made a joke to me. I haven't had time to change my clothes yet."
Mr. Jin frowned fiercely and looked at Lin Zhiyuan: "What's the joke?"
Lin Zhiyuan laughed: "Zhiyi is ignorant, I have already told her."
Seeing that he was no longer willing to tell the truth, Mr. Jin looked at the servant standing behind Lin Zhiyuan and said sternly: "Say it!"
"It's just...it's..."
The servant hesitated for a long time, not daring to speak.
Mr. Jin banged his cane hard and said angrily: "What did I tell you just now? You promised so nicely, but in the end you are perfunctory with me!"
"You misunderstood, I promise, this kind of thing will not happen again next time."
Mr. Jin's expression was gloomy. Based on what the servant said about dealing with the debris, as well as the dust floating in the room and Ruan Xingwan's body, he had roughly guessed what was going on.
He said: "You'd better keep your promise, otherwise I don't know how shameful you are to meet Xiaoman's spirit in heaven!"
At this moment, another servant came in and said something next to Lin Zhiyuan.
He nodded: "Invite him in."
Mr. Jin asked: "Who is coming?"
Lin Zhiyuan said: "I am a business partner. You are right and you can help me meet him."
"I'm quite old, and my old eyesight is too dim to see what I can see."
Ruan Xingwan felt that it was pointless for her to stay in such an occasion, so she was going to take a shower, change clothes and go to the studio.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, Mr. Jin gently pressed her and signaled her not to leave.
Mr. Jin's movement was so small that Lin Zhiyuan didn't notice it at all.
After Ruan Xingwan understood what he meant, he sat there with no intention of leaving.
After a while, the figure of the visitor appeared in sight.
It was actually William who came.
William stood still in the living room, and after exchanging greetings with Lin Zhiyuan, he looked at them, still polite and gentlemanly: "Mr. Jin, Miss Ruan."
Lin Zhiyuan looked quietly and said slowly: "It turns out that everyone knows each other."
William smiled slightly: "Mr. Jin and I have had a relationship abroad. After returning to Nancheng, I was very lucky to visit Jin's house. As for Miss Ruan, I have cooperated with Mr. Zhou before. By chance,
I’ve seen him a few times.”
Lin Zhiyuan seemed to really not want to hear the name Zhou Cishen, so he asked William to sit down and asked the servant to pour tea.
Lin Zhiyuan said: "I heard that Mr. William is also from Nancheng. Where is he from Nancheng?"
William mentioned a place: "I have been abroad for many years. When I came back this time, I found that the place where I lived before had changed. It was no longer what it was before."
"It seems that Mr. William is really a nostalgic person. After so many years, he still returned to Nancheng."
"It's not just nostalgia. The company plans to expand into the domestic market, and the only place I know about is Nancheng."
The two of them were just going back and forth like this. It looked like they were having a simple chat, but in fact, Lin Zhiyuan was trying to find out what was going on.
In fact, before the cooperation, Lin Zhiyuan had already investigated William thoroughly, and naturally knew that he and Mr. Jin knew each other, so he said that deliberately just now.
As for Ruan Xingwan's acquaintance with him, there was Zhou Cishen between them, and the two of them had never met in private except for a few meetings.
There should be no connection between the two of them.
Lin Zhiyuan had some doubts about the relationship between William and Mr. Jin before, but seeing that his answer just now was so direct and frank and did not hide their acquaintance, he relaxed his vigilance a little.
During their chat, Mr. Jin would occasionally say a few words, but Ruan Xingwan could not get in the conversation at all. He sat there bored, hanging his head and picking at some small hairs that got stuck in his pants when he was cleaning the utility room.
When William was speaking, his eyes would fall on her inadvertently, and he would be slightly absent-minded, but it would be fleeting.
After their conversation finally ended, William stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
Ruan Xingwan was relaxing when she suddenly heard him calling her name.
She stood up quickly.
William looked at her with a calm smile: "Say hello to Mr. Zhou for me."
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "Okay."
Lin Zhiyuan said: "I will take you out."
After the two of them left, Ruan Xingwan also recovered his thoughts.
Old Jin held his cane and said, "Little girl, come with me for a walk outside. I'll tell you about these places, but they will definitely not tell you."
Ruan Xingwan supported Mr. Jin and walked in the garden.
As Mr. Jin walked, he told her about the history of this place and what it used to do. He pointed to several sculptures not far away: "There, your father used to build it for you, a small Disney castle.
, you don’t like it so much, you have to stay there every day except eating and sleeping for a while.”
Ruan Xingwan looked at the strange place, and a small castle vaguely flashed through his mind, but he couldn't remember much more.
They continued to walk forward, and Mr. Jin said again: "Have you seen that big tree? It used to be a greenhouse, and it was full of varieties that your mother carefully cared for. They were extremely difficult to grow. One time, your father made your mother angry.
In order to comfort her, you secretly ran to the flower room and picked a large bouquet of flowers for her, which made your mother cry and angry."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
It also……
It’s so annoying.
As Mr. Jin spoke, he sighed to himself: "Things are different and people are different."
After a while, Ruan Xingwan asked: "Has there ever been a big fire here?"
Jin Laodao: "It was caused by the explosion. The fire burned almost all traces here. What you see now are all rebuilt."
After saying that, Mr. Jin turned around and looked at her: "Child, you must know that your biological father and mother love you very much. Maybe there are people who are silently paying attention to you and protecting you somewhere you don't know.
."
Without waiting for Ruan Xingwan to answer, he quickly changed the topic: "By the way, where is your mother's cemetery?
I want to go see her."
Ruan Xingwan heard this and was silent before saying, "I don't know."
She added: "She passed away when I was very young. I have no memory of her and I don't know where her grave is."
