Chapter 31 A Yan of Victory Chapter City
After staring at those words for a long time, Bei Lanlan carefully restored the file bag to its original shape and put it back in its original position.
She didn't tell anyone about it, and Xin Yan's office was not monitored, so no one knew she had seen what was inside.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xin Yan estimated the time to call. At that time, Bei Lanlan had already arrived home and had finished dinner. She was sitting in the bedroom, sorting out the homework left by the school teacher.
It's homework, but it's actually a mid-term exam. In senior year, the teachers are considerate of the students, and they won't let them come back to take the test in class. Instead, they will leave a homework and deal with it.
The time between the midterm and the final is very close. After the midterm homework is handed in, the final exam will be a month later. At this point, Bei Lanlan has completed all the credits required for graduation, and she can also prepare her graduation thesis.
It seems that the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, but in fact it is to deceive outsiders. The students all know that they have more than enough time.
As one of the outsiders who was deceived, Xin Yan only waited for two seconds, and then Bei Lanlan's voice came from the phone.
She sounded very excited, and there was some noise around: "Lanlan! Have you had dinner yet?"
Bei Lanlan paused for a while before replying: "Eat, you didn't go back to the hotel?"
Xin Yan smiled: "No, I'm outside. You also know that in this kind of heavy industry company, the top managers are basically middle-aged and elderly men, and they just like to have a drink."
Bei Lanlan frowned: "You want to drink too?"
Xin Yan: "How is it possible? A glass of cocktail can knock me down. They still drink white wine. Don't worry, An Zhiyuan will help me block it. He is an old hand and he is very familiar with it."
Looking at her watch, she felt that she had been out for a long time. Xin Yan said again: "I should go back. I heard that the temperature at home will drop in the next two days. Lanlan, please pay attention, don't wear too little."
Hearing that she was leaving, Bei Lanlan blurted out: "Wait, you—"
Xin Yan hummed suspiciously, "What?"
The words came to his lips, but they were replaced by another sentence, "When are you coming back?"
Xin Yan was not very sure, she said distressedly: "I don't know, Lan Lan, is there something wrong with you?"
After a moment of silence, Bei Lanlan shook her head, regardless of whether Xin Yan could see it, "No, I just asked."
Hearing that she was fine, Xin Yan felt relieved, gave some more instructions, hung up the phone, washed her hands symbolically, and then hurried back to their box.
On the other side, Bei Lanlan put down her phone and looked at the computer screen, but her eyes didn't focus on any word.
divorce.
Divorce...
Once divorced, she will be free, and no one will look at her with pity, contempt, or envy, nor will she be labeled as Xin Yan.
After divorce, no one can control her anymore. She can do whatever she wants, be alone if she wants to be alone, and go wherever she wants. There is nothing that can trap her anymore.
After the divorce, she can finally return to the life she dreamed of, the life without Xin Yan.
The big advantage these days is that Bei Lanlan is counting when she is doing her homework, and she is still counting when she is lying on the bed and getting ready for sleep.
But the more she counted and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't fall asleep.
I feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, a little sad, a little angry, and a little flustered.
Didn't you say you like her?How could it be so easy to leave her behind?
She couldn't figure out what Xin Yan was doing, and at the same time, she couldn't figure out how she was feeling.
Isn't this a good thing?Didn't she dream of leaving Xin Yan every day?How did she change in such a short time?
………………
The next morning, before the butler went up to call, Bei Lanlan had already walked down.
Just like what Xin Yan said, there was a gust of north wind and autumn rain last night, and the temperature dropped to twelve degrees this morning. Bei Lanlan changed into a cashmere sweater, thick pants, and a A Burberry blend trench coat.
It's rare to see Bei Lanlan in such full armor. The butler was staring blankly, but Bei Lanlan had already walked in front of him: "I have something to do today. I have to go out for a while, so I won't go to the company."
After she finished speaking, she was about to go out. The butler reacted for a second, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going? Let the driver take you. There is also breakfast. Do you eat breakfast first?"
"I'll just go by myself. I'll eat breakfast outside."
She has long legs and is young. The elderly housekeeper really couldn't catch up with her. In a blink of an eye, she had already walked out.Bei Lanlan has lived here for four years and has always been obedient. She has never encountered such a thing, so everyone is a little dumbfounded.
The driver ran to the housekeeper, "Are you not chasing him?"
Housekeeper: "Looking at it like this, she might get angry if she catches up."
On the other side, a gardener holding a pair of scissors also came over. The drawings for the garden renovation have been drawn, and now workers come in every day to repair the lawn. This gardener is quite familiar with everyone.
"But if you don't chase after him, Mr. Xin will be angry, right?"
A servant poked her head out from the second floor, and she said to the butler, "You must tell Mr. Xin!"
housekeeper:"……"
Would he not know this?The problem is, he is worried that after he tells Mr. Xin, Bei Lanlan will still be angry!
The butler was very sad. A month ago, there was no such thing. But since Jingchu got engaged, Mr. Xin's temper has changed. He didn't care about Bei Lanlan before, but now he cares as much.
If it's not like a couple quarrels with dogs, he really doesn't want to get involved between the two.
……
After getting rid of all the people at home, Bei Lanlan walked out for a long time before calling a car.
And her destination was not as mysterious as the housekeeper and the others thought.
An hour later, the car drove to the outskirts of the city, which is already close to another province. In other cities, such places are usually gathering places of villages and towns, but here, the villages and towns have been relocated, and a group bought it at a high price. This beautiful place was transformed into a world-class nursing home.
The staff here have a minimum education of a master of medicine. There are natural hot springs and an artificial sun room the size of three football fields. In addition to the general recuperation area, there is also a key observation area. The medical resources here are better than some provincial hospitals. Well, it's just that they don't accept ordinary patients, only those who are seriously ill or who plan to live here for a long time can enjoy the healing inside.
Bei Lanlan got out of the car and left, but the driver came here. Looking at the gate of the nursing home with a rather modern design, the driver sighed.
This is the frighteningly expensive sanatorium. I heard that many big-name celebrities and family members of high-ranking officials come here for medical treatment, so I don't know what it looks like inside.
After being a little curious, the driver drove away. Bei Lanlan filled out the information at the front desk, and waited for nearly 10 minutes before the nurse came and led her to a certain room inside.
The design style of the public area is uniform, and each ward has its own characteristics. It is not so much a nursing home as it is another home for the patient. If the patient still has the ability to take care of herself, her room There are basically no traces of the sanatorium.
Bei Lanlan's mother lived in such a room. She lived here for four years. After her transformation, this room became more and more like an ordinary home.When Bei Lanlan came in, she was sitting at the desk by the window, carefully wrapping the twine around a thin bare stick.
After wandering for a while, Bei Lanlan tapped on the door with the window. Li Jingshu heard the movement, turned around, and saw Bei Lanlan standing outside, she was surprised for two seconds, then quickly stood up, and ran to open the door.
The door opened, and the things inside became clearer. Looking at her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Bei Lanlan smiled unnaturally, "Mom."
Li Jingshu watched her daughter's reaction, and after a while, she also laughed, "Come in."
She is like a wind-up toy, without resting for a second, moving chairs for Bei Lanlan, pouring water for Bei Lanlan, cleaning up the messy coffee table, and then rummaging through boxes and cabinets, looking for her to save for future food snack.
She walked up and down the room, and kept saying, "It's so cold today, how did you come here?"
"You didn't make an appointment, right? Xiao Gao didn't say that you would come to see me today. You can't do this next time. There are too many rules here. They let you in this time. Next time, if you meet some important person here to recuperate, you can I can't get in."
Putting the health tea into Bei Lanlan's hand, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Last week, guess who I saw in the spa area, you will never guess."
Bei Lanlan didn't listen to her at all, she was looking at the furnishings of this room all the time, seeing the colorful beads and strings on the table, Bei Lanlan asked: "Is this the kind of DIY material bag sold online?" ?”
Li Jingshu: "Yes, I asked Xiaogao to buy it for me. I saw a few girls making this on TV, and it looked pretty good. I wanted to try it myself. But Xiaogao said that many materials cannot be brought in. Because it is poisonous, I can’t keep the scissors and needles, so I can only use a lighter to burn the thread.”
Bei Lanlan was puzzled: "Lighters are also very dangerous, why can this be kept?"
Li Jingshu wanted to roll her eyes at her daughter, that's what she said, so she woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to eat a piece of watermelon, so she had to open it with a plate.
"This is not an airplane. They collect these things because they are afraid that some patients will be world-weary. Although lighters are dangerous, there are smoke alarms installed everywhere in this place. Let alone lighting a room, even lighting a candle, the dean and the others can spot it." .”
Speaking of this, Li Jingshu couldn't help complaining a few words, "I don't have this tendency, they call it one size fits all."
Bei Lanlan stretched the cloth on the coffee table to make it more flat: "Will the patients come to sit with you?"
"Of course," Li Jingshu replied proudly, "Other people like to come to my house."
Bei Lanlan raised her head and smiled at Li Jingshu: "Then do you know why people don't let you keep such things?"
Looking at Bei Lanlan's upturned mouth, Li Jingshu didn't answer this question, she just looked at her quietly with soft eyes.
In fact, they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Four years ago, as soon as Li Jingshu was diagnosed with the disease, her condition deteriorated rapidly. For a year, Li Jingshu was basically in a vegetative state. She woke up occasionally, but her body woke up, and her consciousness was always chaotic. Three years ago, she It took another year for her to wake up, but she couldn't get out of bed. She was basically no different from a normal person, but the sequelae were still there, and they were there all her life.
After recovering from the illness, Li Jingshu's body has been in a weak state, and her immunity is not as good as before. Although it is not to the point of living in a sterile ward, it is better to go outside less.
The visiting plan formulated for her by the nursing home is that she can only see relatives once a week, and no more than two visitors at a time. From the day she woke up, Li Jingshu has been waiting for Bei Lanlan to visit her. In a blink of an eye, three years have passed. She's here at last.
Xin Yan never said that Bei Lanlan would not be allowed to visit her mother. Bei Lanlan did not want to come.
Therefore, this should be a very awkward meeting, but Li Jingshu's attitude resolved everything. She treated Bei Lanlan as always, as if they had never been separated.
There are some things that don't need to be said clearly, Bei Lanlan knows why Li Jingshu is so considerate to her, and Li Jingshu also understands why Bei Lanlan hasn't visited her for so many years.
Because I don't want to face it.
I don't want to face the fact that she traded her marriage and life for medical expenses, I don't want to face Li Jingshu's guilt and disappointment, I don't want to face the speculation that she may have made a decision that made everyone unhappy.
Of course, this was all in the past, and now that Bei Lanlan has come, it means that things have changed, but I don't know whether it is a good change or a bad change.
And the guess in Li Jingshu's heart, 90.00% nine, is bad.
From the moment Bei Lanlan walked through the door, Li Jingshu was ready. No matter what happened to her daughter or what decision she made, her answer was only one, support.
No one knows Bei Lanlan better than her. She has never been a good-tempered girl since she was a child. When others are oppressed and bullied, the final result is to accept their fate and lose themselves. But Bei Lanlan is different. The oppression will only make her lose her anger. The hidden ones are deeper, and sooner or later, those hidden by her will bounce back harder.
Li Jingshu took a deep breath secretly, and she told herself in her heart that no matter what Bei Lanlan said, she must not show surprise, and she must not delay Bei Lanlan's hind legs again.
The mother and daughter sat on both sides of the coffee table, like some kind of conversation, Bei Lanlan held the cup of tea that Li Jingshu poured for her, and she didn't make her wait for too long.
Lifting her eyelids, Bei Lanlan said, "Xin Yan wants to divorce me."
Li Jingshu's heart trembled, and she nodded calmly: "My illness has been cured a long time ago. The doctor said, just let me avoid contact with outsiders as much as possible. In the future, I can also catch up with the trend and become a house girl. Let's go back to the past home? I still want to live in the old house.”
Bei Lanlan froze for a moment, and then realized that her mother had misunderstood, "No, I'm not here to pick you up and leave the hospital."
Li Jingshu was also stunned, "You guys are divorced, and I still want to live here?"
How boring.
Also, is Xin Yan such a nice person?This place is not cheap, the price of living for one day is equal to the price of living in ICU.
Bei Lanlan frowned, "No, I mean, I don't want a divorce."
Li Jingshu was silent for two seconds, "I don't seem to hear clearly, what did you just say?"
Knowing that her mother did it on purpose, Bei Lanlan still repeated it nicely, "Xin Yan wants a divorce, but I don't want a divorce."
Li Jingshu: "..."
There are too many things to say, and it is impossible to start, she can only pick out the most important sentence, "Why?"
Bei Lanlan had already thought about the reason before she came. After taking a breath, she said with a blank expression on her face, "If we get divorced, I won't be able to live with Xin Yan. Without her, my life will be very uncomfortable. , and I hate this unaccustomed."
Li Jingshu asked her: "Does your unaccustomed mean that you are not used to living the life of ordinary people?"
Even though she was prepared in her heart, when she heard Bei Lanlan's denial, Li Jingshu's heart skipped a beat.
Bei Lanlan shook her head: "No, it has nothing to do with the quality of life, I just want her to stay by my side."
Li Jingshu: "...Stay by your side?"
Bei Lanlan admitted quickly: "Yes."
Li Jingshu couldn't bear it this time.
She looked at Bei Lanlan in shock, no matter how big the change was, she could accept it, but she really couldn't understand how Bei Lanlan could become like this.
Living in a nursing home, mobile phones are not allowed, but the nurses will provide tablets for patients to read the news. Li Jingshu searches Xin Yan's news when she is free. In Xin Yan's news, she has never seen her daughter appear, but it is the one named Jing Chu. Almost everything has her.
"Lanlan, you know she likes Jingchu, right?"
Bei Lanlan explained for Xin Yan: "She doesn't like Jing Chu anymore."
Li Jingshu: "...how do you know?"
Bei Lanlan replied calmly: "She told me, and I can see it too."
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Li Jingshu was silent, and then said: "Jing Chu is the only bond between the two of you. She married you because she liked Jing Chu, and now she divorces you because she doesn't like Jing Chu. Now, Jing Chu is the one who makes her make a decision, do you think you can replace her?"
What she said was ruthless, but it was all true. Bei Lanlan also knew this. She didn't come here suddenly. She thought a lot about it last night. She had thought about what Li Jingshu said.
So, she smiled slightly and told Li Jingshu: "I won't replace her, but I will become more important than her, even more important than when Xin Yan liked her the most. Xin Yan can use me to replace Jing Chu, But she will never be able to put someone else in my place."
Li Jingshu was silent for a longer time this time, "Emotions are not rewarded by your hard work."
Bei Lanlan: "I don't want anything in return, I just want her to stay by my side."
"Why?" Li Jingshu looked at her, "You fell in love with her?"
Bei Lanlan denied, "I don't like it."
Li Jingshu asked again: "Then do you still hate her?"
This time, Bei Lanlan didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either.
Li Jingshu's eyes were slightly closed, and she sighed in her heart, feeling that things in the world really cannot be explained logically.
After staying with Li Jingshu for another half an hour, Bei Lanlan left.When she came, Bei Lanlan was in a heavy mood, as if something was pressing on her heart, making her irritable and unable to breathe.
And after saying these words, Bei Lanlan felt like declaring war on the whole world, excited, determined, and passionate.
Although there was only one Li Jingshu in the audience, she at least spoke out. Now, someone knew what she was thinking, and she was unwilling to fail, so if she said it, she must do it.
Standing outside the nursing home, Bei Lanlan said in her heart.
She will work hard, and she will return to Xin Yan every penny she spent on her mother.
When she no longer owes Xin Yan, that is when Xin Yan owes her.
With Xin Yan's personality, she would not refuse any of her requests.
……
Sitting in the business car, Xin Yan suddenly sneezed.
Assistant An immediately looked over nervously, "What's wrong with you? You caught a cold? How do you feel? If you don't feel well, you must tell me. I will sign the contract right away. You must not ruin everything because of illness!"
Xin Yan: "..."
She looked at An Zhiyuan sullenly: "I've changed my mind, Juarez is too far away, or you can stay in Daqin Heavy Industry, and don't go back to the head office in this life."
Assistant An: "..."
You're stingy, isn't it just a joke.
It's also because Xin Yan has been too friendly recently. Even though she always targets An Zhiyuan, An Zhiyuan feels that she is much closer than before. He didn't dare to talk nonsense before, but now he can occasionally make a harmless little joke.
It's just that Xin Yan's sense of humor is too bad.
……
Rubbing her nose, Xin Yan asked him, "When will it end?"
An Zhiyuan looked at the form: "If there are no accidents, two o'clock is enough, and three o'clock at the latest."
Xin Yan nodded, "Book a ticket for four o'clock, the sooner the better."
An Zhiyuan: "..."
It's already four o'clock, how fast can it be? It takes half an hour to drive to the airport!
"Is it too urgent?"
Xin Yan raised her head, "Are you in no hurry? It's okay, you stay, I'll go back by myself, you can stay a few more days, it doesn't matter if you go back after the Chinese New Year."
An Zhiyuan: "...I'll book a plane ticket now."
Xin Yan finally realized the bonus of being the first to strike first. When she signed the contract, Song Xizi had just got off the plane. The two met at the airport, one was showing off his might, and the other was clenching his fists.
Xin Yan respectfully obeyed Lanlan's wife's edict, walked into the VIP room with her head held high and her chest held high without even looking at Song Xizi.
Song Xizi laughed angrily: "I'm quite proud, I let you win this time, let's see how you win next time!"
Xin Yan, who was sitting in the VIP room, was in a good mood. She took out her mobile phone and called the housekeeper.
Xin Yan is well versed in what is called a private space, so she only calls Bei Lanlan once a day, but at the same time, she makes several calls to the housekeeper and the company.
It perfectly concealed the fact that she often checks on the post.
In the morning, she knew that Bei Lanlan had gone out and didn't go to the company, but she didn't care too much. Bei Lanlan would only threaten her if she contacted Xu Suyu and Song Xizi, but now Bei Lanlan only seeks Xu Suyu for school matters, As for Song Xizi, she has only just arrived here, so it is impossible for her to be with Bei Lanlan.
Xin Yan thought that Bei Lanlan was going out to meet her classmates, or to buy things, no matter what she was doing, she would go back soon anyway, and she would ask when the time came, Lanlan would tell her.
During this phone call, Xin Yan wanted to ask Bei Lanlan if she was back, but she did not expect that the housekeeper not only told her that Bei Lanlan was back, but also told her that the Yunshan Nursing Home had called, and Bei Lanlan went to see her. Li Jingshu from the nursing home.
When Li Jingshu was hospitalized, Xin Yan was the person in charge, and the nursing home regarded her as Li Jingshu's guardian, so whenever someone came, they would be notified. Xin Yan didn't remember who Li Jingshu was at first, but when she remembered, she Stand up abruptly.
"She went to a nursing home?!"
The housekeeper was startled, "Yes, yes."
"How did she react when she came back? Did she tell you who she met? Wait, hurry up and ask someone to go out to see if there is any suspicious person outside!"
The butler was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
Xin Yan: "Ah what, do as I say!"
The VIP room is a public space. Xin Yan's words were a little loud, and other guests also looked over. Song Xizi also bought a ticket to return on the next flight because her schedule was ruined. When she came in, she happened to see Xin Yan's out-of-control pair The phone roars.
Song Xizi paused, she tilted her head to look at Xin Yan, but Xin Yan didn't notice her, she walked around anxiously, until the housekeeper answered, she quickly asked: "How is it?"
Butler: "No one, Mr. Xin, is something wrong?"
Xin Yan opened her mouth, and finally closed it with a face of frustration.
"No, I just read the news that there are a lot of thieves recently, and Lan Lan went out alone. If someone is interested in sex or money, it's not a good thing. I'll go back in a few hours. In the past few days, let them be smart and pay attention to the situation outside 24 hours a day."
Butler: "...Okay."
Although the butler didn't say anything, Xin Yan also knew that he must have said in his heart that he was worrying unnecessarily.Xin Yan also knew how unreliable she sounded, but she still said that, so she had to guard against it!
Also, how did Bei Lanlan go to the nursing home? In the book, she didn't go to the nursing home to meet her mother until she had almost contacted the outside world and was about to start planning.
It was also this side that made her meet a person who seemed harmless to humans and animals, but was actually extremely terrifying.
She remembered that the plot in the book was that the man glanced at Bei Lanlan in shock. She was living in the intensive care unit and could not go out in person, so she sent a team of people to follow up and investigate. After the investigation was completed, In order to attract Bei Lanlan back, she even burned down the nursing home.
Xin Yan was also not sure if Bei Lanlan would be targeted by that sick girl again when she passed today. When she was frowning and thinking, Song Xizi came to her at some point.
Then, let out a particularly obvious sneer.
Xin Yan looked up and saw that it was her, she also smiled: "Yo, let's go back together?"
Song Xizi: "..."
She shook her head, "I should really bring you a mirror so that you can see how useless your expression is now."
She looked at Xin Yan disdainfully: "The genuine ones can't see your courteousness, but the fake ones are very nervous. It seems that the Xin family is coming to an end in your generation."
Xin Yan looked at her silently, and after a while, she turned her head and walked aside, and sat down.
Song Xizi: "..."
She asked amusedly: "Isn't it, how old are you, and you still pretend not to hear this?"
Xin Yan glanced at An Zhiyuan.
Assistant An was ordered in the face of danger, and immediately stood up to explain for her, "Boss Xin asked me to tell you, I'm sorry, her wife won't let her talk to you."
Xin Yan raised her head and clicked her tongue at An Zhiyuan.
Assistant An blinked, and added: "Sorry, I'm sorry, I added these three words myself."
Xin Yan was satisfied now.
Song Xizi: "..."
Fortunately, they were not together on the return plane, otherwise, the plane might not be able to reach its destination.
After getting off the plane, Xin Yan walked out quickly. She wanted to go home directly, so she made sure the house was fine before going to the company.
While walking out, she explained what An Zhiyuan was going to do next, just as she walked out of the VIP passage, Xin Yan suddenly paused.
Because she saw that Bei Lanlan was standing at the pick-up gate, smiling and waving to her.
Xin Yan was stunned for a while, then poked An Zhiyuan's arm, "Look over there, is there a Lanlan over there?"
An Zhiyuan: "..."
This kind of sentence pattern is generally used by others on ghosts.
Unexpectedly, Bei Lanlan would come, Xin Yan walked out of the security checkpoint, over there, Bei Lanlan had already trotted over, Xin Yan looked at her in surprise: "Why are you here?"
She wrapped her coat tightly, "I heard from the housekeeper that you are coming back. I have nothing to do at home, so I just came to pick you up."
On the other side, An Zhiyuan also came out, Bei Lanlan smiled at him, and then took the things in his hand.
Carrying Xin Yan's bag, while handing her coat to Xin Yan, she said to An Zhiyuan: "I'll do it, Assistant An, you can go."
Hearing this, Xin Yan also nodded, "Okay, I'll go back with Lanlan, you go first, you don't have to worry about the rest."
After finishing speaking, the two of them left hand in hand. Assistant An looked at their backs, and then looked at the colleagues around him who also didn't understand what was going on.
...What's going on, why is he suddenly unemployed?
The author has something to say:
Assistant An: This is a world where only I get hurt
I've tried so hard, there's not a single drop left
