    Chapter 31 A Yan who returned to the city in victory

    Staring at those words for a long time, Bei Lanlan carefully restored the document bag to its original state 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 the contents.

    At seven o'clock in the evening, Xin Yan estimated the time to call. At that time, Bei Lanlan had arrived home and finished dinner. She was sitting in the bedroom, sorting out the homework left by the school teacher.

    It is called homework, but it is actually the mid-term exam. In the fourth year, the teachers are also considerate of the students. They will not let them come back to take the test on purpose, but leave a homework and deal with this matter in the past.

    The mid-term and final time are very close. When the mid-term homework is handed in, it will be the final exam in one month. At this point, all the credits required for graduation have been completed, and she can also prepare her graduation thesis.

    It seems that the time is tight and the task is heavy, but it is actually deceiving outsiders. The students know that they have more than enough time.

    As one of the deceived outsiders, Xin Yan only waited for two seconds, and then Bei Lanlan's voice came from her phone.

    She sounded excited, and there was some noise around her: "Lanlan! Have you eaten dinner?"

    Bei Lanlan paused for a while before answering, "Eat, you didn't go back to the hotel?"

    Xin Yan smiled: "No, I'm outside. You also know that in a company with heavy industry like this, the top management is basically middle-aged and elderly men, and they like to have a drink."

    Bei Lanlan frowned: "You want to drink too?"

    Xin Yan: "How could it be possible, one cocktail can knock me down, and they still drink white wine, don't worry, An Zhiyuan will help me out. He's a veteran, and he's very familiar."

    Looking at her watch, she felt that she had been out for a long time, and Xin Yan said again: "I should go back, I heard that the temperature at home will be cool 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 so sure, she said distressedly, "I don't know, Lan Lan, are you okay?"

    After being silent, Bei Lanlan shook her head, regardless of whether Xin Yan could see it or not, "No, just ask."

    Hearing that she was fine, Xin Yan was relieved, and after a few more words, hung up the phone, she 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...

    After the divorce, she is free, and no one will look at her with pity, contempt, or envy, nor will she be labeled as Xin Yan.

    After the divorce, no one can control her anymore. She can do whatever she wants, be alone when she wants to be alone, and go wherever she wants. The world is huge, and there is nothing to trap her anymore.

    After the divorce, she can finally return to her dream life, the life without Xin Yan.

    The big advantage these days, Bei Lanlan was counting when she was doing her homework, and she was still counting when she lay on the bed and was about to go to sleep.

    But the more she counted and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep.

    I felt 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 abandon her.

    She couldn't figure out what Xin Yan was doing, and at the same time, she couldn't figure out her own mood.

    Isn't this a good thing? Doesn't she dream of leaving Xin Yan every day? How did she change in such a short time?

    ………………

    The next morning, before the housekeeper came up to call, Bei Lanlan had already walked down.

    As Xin Yan said, there was a north wind last night and an autumn rain, and the temperature dropped directly to 12 degrees this morning. Bei Lanlan put on a cashmere sweater, thick trousers, and a coat. A Burberry blend trench coat.

    It is rare to see Bei Lanlan dressed in such a full outfit. The housekeeper was stunned, and Bei Lanlan had already walked up to him: "I have something to do today. I want to go out, so I won't go to the company."

    After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but the housekeeper reacted for a second, and quickly asked, "Where are you going? Let the driver take you there, and breakfast, do you want to eat breakfast first?"

    "I'll just go by myself, and I'll eat breakfast outside."

    She has long legs and is young, and the elderly housekeeper really can't catch up with her. In a blink of an eye, people have already walked out. Bei Lanlan has lived here for four years, and has always been obedient, and has never encountered such a thing, so everyone is a little dumbfounded.

    The driver ran to the butler's side, "Aren't you going to chase?"

    Housekeeper: "Looking at it like this, she might get angry when she catches up."

    On the other side, a gardener with large scissors also came over. The drawings for the renovation of the courtyard have been drawn. Now workers come in to repair the lawn every day. This gardener is relatively familiar with everyone.

    "But if you don't chase, President Xin will be angry too, right?"

    A servant stuck his head out from the second floor, and she said to the housekeeper, "Always tell President Xin!"

    housekeeper:"……"

    Will he not know this? The problem is, he is worried that after he tells President Xin, Bei Lanlan will still be angry!

    The housekeeper was very sad. A month ago, there was no such thing, but since Jing Chu got engaged, President Xin's temper has changed. He didn't care about Bei Lanlan before, but now he cares more.

    Not to mention that husbands and wives quarrel with dogs, he really doesn't want to get involved in the middle of these two couples.

    ...

    After getting rid of the whole family and waiting, Bei Lanlan went out for a long time before calling a car.

    And her destination was not as mysterious as the housekeepers thought.

    An hour later, the car drove to the outskirts of the city, which is already close to another province. If it were another city, this kind of place is usually a gathering place of villages and towns, but here, the villages and towns have been relocated, and a group bought it for a lot of money. This beautiful place, and then transformed it into a world-class nursing home.

    The minimum education for the staff here is a master’s degree in medicine. There are natural hot springs in it, and there are three artificial sun rooms the size of a football field. In addition to the general recuperation area, there are also key observation areas. The medical resources here are better than some provincial hospitals. Well, it's just that they don't accept ordinary patients. Only guests who are seriously ill or who plan to stay here for a long time for recuperation can enjoy the treatment inside.

    Bei Lanlan got off the car and left, but the driver drove here, looking at the gate of the sanatorium with a modern design, the driver sighed.

    This is the terrifyingly expensive convalescent center. heard that many big-name celebrities and family members of high-ranking officials come here to see a doctor, but don't know what it is like inside.

    After being a little curious, the driver drove away. Bei Lanlan filled in the information at the front desk and waited for nearly ten minutes before the nurse came over and took her to a room inside.

    The design style of the public area is unified, and everyone's ward has its own characteristics. It is not so much a nursing home as it is another home for the patient. If the patient can still take care of herself, then her room There are hardly any traces of a nursing home.

    Bei Lanlan's mother lives in such a room. She has lived here for four years. Under her renovation, this room is becoming more and more like an ordinary home. When Bei Lanlan came in, she was sitting at the desk by the window, carefully wrapping the tangled thread onto a thin, bare stick.

    After lingering 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 contents inside became clearer. Looking at his mother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Bei Lanlan smiled unnaturally, "Mom."

    Li Jingshu looked at her daughter's reaction, and after a while, she also laughed, "Come in."

    She is like a clockwork toy, never resting for a second. She moves a chair for Bei Lanlan, pours water for Bei Lanlan, cleans up the messy coffee table, rummages through the box, and finds her to save it for later. snack.

    She walked around the room and kept saying, "It's so cold today, how did you get here?"

    "You didn't make an appointment. Xiao Gao didn't say that you would come to see me today. Next time, it can't be like this. There are too many rules here. This time they let you in. I can't get in."

    Putting the health tea in Bei Lanlan's hands, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Last week, you can't guess who I saw in the spa area."

    Bei Lanlan didn't listen to her at all. She kept looking at the furnishings in this room and saw the colorful beads and strings on the table. Bei Lanlan asked, "Is this the kind of DIY material package sold online? ?"

    Li Jingshu: "Yeah, I asked Xiao Gao to buy it for me. I saw a few little girls make this on TV, and it was very beautiful, so I wanted to try it myself. But Xiao Gao said that many materials could not be brought in. Because of the poison, there are also scissors and needles, so I can't leave them, so I can only use a lighter to burn the thread."

    Bei Lanlan wondered: "Lighters are also very dangerous, why can this be left?"

    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 could only open it with the edge of the plate.

    "This is not an airplane. They accept these things because they are afraid that some patients are tired of the world. Although lighters are dangerous, smoke alarms are installed everywhere in this place. Not to mention lighting a room, just lighting a candle, the dean and the others can all find out. ."

    Speaking of this, Li Jingshu couldn't help complaining, "I don't have this tendency, they call it a one-size-fits-all approach."

    Bei Lanlan stretched the cover on the coffee table to make it flatter: "Will the patients come to sit with you?"

    "Of course," Li Jingshu replied proudly, "Everyone likes to come to visit me."

    Bei Lanlan raised her head and smiled at Li Jingshu: "Then do you know why they don't let you keep this kind of thing?"

    Looking at Bei Lanlan's raised mouth, Li Jingshu didn't answer the 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, when 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 was awake, and her consciousness had been chaotic. Three years ago, she She woke up, but couldn't get out of bed. It took another year, and she was basically no different from a normal person, but the sequelae were still there, and she will be there for the rest of her life.

    After recovering from her illness, Li Jingshu's body has been in a weak state, and her immunity is not as good as before. Although it is not enough to live in a sterile ward, it is better to go outside less.

    The sanatorium's visit plan for her was that she could only see her relatives once a week, and no more than two visitors at a time. From the day she woke up, Li Jingshu had been waiting for Bei Lanlan to see her. In a blink of an eye, three years had passed. She is finally here.

    Xinyan never said not to let Bei Lanlan see her mother, because Bei Lanlan didn't want to come.

    So, 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. Bei Lanlan knows why Li Jingshu is so considerate to her, and Li Jingshu also understands why Bei Lanlan has not seen her for so many years.

    Because don't want to face it.

    I don't want to face the fact that she exchanged her marriage and life for medical expenses, don't want to face Li Jingshu's guilt and disappointment, don't want to face the speculation that she might have made an unpleasant decision for everyone.

    Of course, this is all in the past. Now Bei Lanlan is here, which means that things have changed, but don't know whether it is a good change or a bad change.

    And Li Jingshu's guess, 99%, was bad.

    From the moment Bei Lanlan walked into the door, Li Jingshu was ready. No matter what happened to her daughter and what decision she made, she only had one answer, support.

    No one knows Bei Lanlan better than her. She has never been a good-tempered girl since she was a child. Others are oppressed and bullied, and the final result is to accept fate and lose herself. But Bei Lanlan is different. Oppression will only make her angry. Hidden deeper, and sooner or later, those hidden by her will bounce back more ruthlessly.

    Li Jingshu secretly took a deep breath, she warned herself in her heart that no matter what Bei Lanlan said, she couldn't show any emotion of surprise, and she must not drag Bei Lanlan's hind legs again.

    The mother and daughter sat on both sides of the coffee table, like some kind of meeting, Bei Lanlan held the cup of tea that Li Jingshu poured for her, and didn't make her wait too long.

    Lifting her eyelids, Bei Lanlan said, "Xin Yan wants to divorce me."

    Li Jingshu's heart trembled, and she nodded flatly: "My illness has long since recovered. The doctor said that I should try not to contact outsiders. In the future, I can follow the trend and be a house girl. Let's go back to the past. Home? I still want to live in the old house."

    Bei Lanlan was stunned for a while, then realized that her mother had misunderstood, "No, I didn't come to pick you up from the hospital."

    Li Jingshu was also stunned, "You are divorced, and I still want to live here?"

    How boring.

    Also, is Xin Yan such a good person? This place is not cheap, the price of one day's stay is equal to the price of 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 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?"

    Before the reason came, Bei Lanlan thought about it. After a breath, she said with no expression on her face: "If I get a divorce, I can't live with Xin Yan anymore. Without her, my life will be very unaccustomed. , and I hate this habit."

    Li Jingshu asked her, "Do you mean that you are not used to living an ordinary life?"

    Rao was prepared in his heart, and when he heard Bei Lanlan's denial, Li Jingshu was still stunned.

    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 help it this time.

    She looked at Bei Lanlan in shock, she could accept no matter how big the change was, but she really couldn't understand, how could Bei Lanlan become like this.

    She lives in a nursing home and cannot use a mobile phone, but the nurse will provide a tablet for patients to read the news. Li Jingshu searches for news about Xin Yan when she has nothing to do. In Xin Yan's news, she has never seen her daughter appear, but 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."

    Seeing her daughter's appearance, Li Jingshu was silent, and then said, "Jing Chu is the only bond between the two of you. She likes Jing Chu to marry you, and now because she doesn't like Jing Chu to divorce you, whether it was in the past or not Now, Jing Chu is the one who makes her decision, do you think you can replace her?"

    What she said was ruthless, but it was true. Bei Lanlan also knew this. She didn't come here suddenly. She thought about it a lot last night. She thought about what Li Jingshu said.

    So, she smiled lightly and told Li Jingshu: "I will not replace her, but I will become more important than her, more important than when Xin Yan liked her the most, Xin Yan can use me to replace Jing Chu, But she'll never be able to let someone else take my place."

    This time, Li Jingshu was silent for a longer time, "Love is not something you can get in return for your hard work."

    Bei Lanlan: "I don't want to repay, I just want her to stay by my side."

    "Why?" Li Jingshu looked at her, "Have you fallen 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 didn't admit it either.

    Li Jingshu closed her eyes slightly, she sighed deeply in her heart, feeling that things in the world really couldn't be explained logically.

    He stayed at Li Jingshu for another half an hour, and then Bei Lanlan left. When she came, Bei Lanlan was in a heavy heart, as if something was pressing on her heart, making her irritable and feeling breathless.

    After saying these words, Bei Lanlan felt like declaring war to the whole world, excited, determined and enthusiastic.

    Although there was only one Li Jingshu in the audience, she at least said it. Now, someone knows what she thinks, and she is not willing to fail. So, if she said it, she must do it.

    Standing outside the nursing home, Bei Lanlan said in his heart.

    She will work hard, and she will return every penny Xin Yan spent on her mother to Xin Yan.

    When she no longer owes Xin Yan, it is when Xin Yan owes her.

    And with Xin Yan's character, she would not refuse any of her requests.

    ...

    Sitting in the van, Xin Yan suddenly sneezed.

    Assistant An immediately looked over nervously, "What's the matter with you? Got a cold? How are you feeling? If you're not feeling well, be sure to tell me. The contract will be signed immediately. You must not ruin everything because of your illness!"

    Xin Yan: "..."

    She looked at An Zhiyuan gloomily: "I changed my mind, Juarez is too far away, otherwise you should stay at Daqin Heavy Industry, and don't go back to the head office in this life."

    Assistant An: "..."

    Stingy, just kidding.

    It's also that Xin Yan has been too kind and pleasant recently. Even though she always targets An Zhiyuan, An Zhiyuan feels that she is much closer than before. Before, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, 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 table: "If there is no accident, two o'clock is enough, and three o'clock at the latest."

    Xin Yan nodded, "Book a four o'clock ticket, the sooner the better."

    An Zhiyuan: "..."

    It's four o'clock, how fast can it be, it only takes half an hour to drive to the airport!

    "Is it too urgent?"

    Xin Yan raised her head, "Aren't you in a hurry? It's okay, you stay, I'll go back by myself, you stay a few more days, it's okay to go back after the New Year."

    An Zhiyuan: "...I'll book a flight now."

    Xin Yan finally realized the bonus of first-strength. When she signed the contract, Song Xizi had just gotten off the plane.

    Xin Yan carefully followed Lanlan's wife's oracle, and walked into the VIP room with her head held high without looking at Song Xizi.

    Song Xizi laughed angrily: "I'm quite proud, I'll let you win this time, and 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 knows what a private space is, 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 conceals the fact that she often checks posts.

    In the morning, she knew that Bei Lanlan went out and didn't go to the company, but she didn't care much. Bei Lanlan would only threaten her by contacting Xu Suyu and Song Xizi, but now Bei Lanlan is only looking for Xu Suyu on school matters. As for Song Xizi, she just got here, and 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 something, no matter what, she would go back right away anyway, and when the time comes, ask and Lanlan will tell her.

    During this call, Xin Yan wanted to ask if Bei Lanlan was back, but she didn't expect that the housekeeper not only told her that Bei Lanlan was back, but also told her that the Yunshan Sanatorium was calling, and Bei Lanlan went to see the house. Li Jingshu of the sanatorium.

    When Li Jingshu was hospitalized, the manager's name was Xin Yan, and the sanatorium regarded her as Li Jingshu's guardian, so as soon as someone came, they were notified. Xin Yan didn't remember who Li Jingshu was at first, but when she remembered, she Scrambling to stand up.

    "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, let someone go out and see if there are any suspicious people outside!"

    The housekeeper was stunned, "Huh?"

    Xin Yan: "Ah what, do as I say!"

    The VIP room is a public space. Xin Yan's words were a bit loud, and other guests looked over. Song Xizi also bought a flight ticket for the next flight back because of the trip. When she came in, she happened to see Xin Yan's out of control right. Phone roars.

    Song Xizi's footsteps paused. She tilted her head and looked at Xin Yan, but Xin Yan didn't notice her. She walked around anxiously until the housekeeper replied, and she quickly asked, "How is it?"

    Butler: "No one, Mr. Xin, is something wrong?"

    Xin Yan opened her mouth and finally closed her face in frustration.

    "No, I read the news that there have been a lot of thieves recently, and Lan Lan went out alone. In case someone is interested in sex or money, it is not a good thing. I will go back in a few hours. These days, let them be smart and pay attention to the situation outside 24 hours a day."

    Butler: "...Okay."

    Although the housekeeper didn't say anything, Xin Yan knew that he must have said in his heart that he was unfounded. Xin Yan also knew how unreliable she sounded, but she still said that, she had to guard against it!

    Also, how did Bei Lanlan go to the sanatorium? In the book, she didn't go to the sanatorium 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, a person who seemed harmless to humans and animals, but was actually very terrifying.

    She remembered the plot in the book that the person gave Bei Lanlan a startling glimpse. She lived in the intensive care unit and could not go out in person, so she sent a team of people to follow up the investigation. After the investigation was completed, In order to attract Bei Lanlan to come back, she also burned the sanatorium.

    Xin Yan is also not sure whether Bei Lanlan will be stared at by that sick girl again when she passes by today. When she was frowning and pondering, Song Xizi did not know when she came to her.

    Then, he let out a particularly pronounced sneer.

    Xin Yan raised her head and saw that it was her, she also smiled: "Yo, let's go back together?"

    Song Xizi: "..."

    She shook her head, "I really should get you a mirror to show you how hopeless your expression is now."

    She looked at Xin Yan contemptuously: "The genuine brand can't see you being courteous, but the fake one is very nervous. It seems that the Xin family has come to an end when it comes to your generation."

    Xin Yan looked at her silently, and after a while, she turned her head to the side and sat down.

    Song Xizi: "..."

    She asked amusingly: "No, how old are you, and you still pretend you can't hear this?"

    Xin Yan glanced at An Zhiyuan.

    Assistant An was ordered in danger and immediately stood up to explain for her, "Mr. Xin asked me to tell you, I'm sorry, her wife won't let her talk to you."

    Xin Yan raised her head and tutted at An Zhiyuan.

    Assistant An blinked and added: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I added these three words myself."

    Xin Yan was satisfied.

    Song Xizi: "..."

    Fortunately, they were not together on the return plane, otherwise, the plane might not be able to fly to the destination.

    After getting off the plane, Xin Yan walked out quickly. She wanted to go home directly. After confirming that the house was all right, she went to the company.

    As she walked out, she explained what happened to An Zhiyuan next. Just after walking out of the VIP passage, Xin Yan suddenly stopped.

    Because she saw Bei Lanlan standing at the airport pick-up port, 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 is generally used by others for ghosts.

    I didn't expect Bei Lanlan to 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 and handing the jacket to Xin Yan, she said to An Zhiyuan, "I'll just come, 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 speaking, the two of them left together. Assistant An looked at their backs, and then looked at the colleagues around who also didn't understand what was going on.

    What's the matter, why did he suddenly lose his job?

    The author has something to say:

    Assistant Ann: This is a world where only I am hurt

    I've tried my best, nothing more
