Inside the room, Yan Qirui was stroking a photo. The yellowed corner of the photo did not block the man's burning gaze or heroic eyes.
Old friends, after so many years, it's time for them to take responsibility for what they've done.
"Director Yan, you were looking for me?" Jane Fan pushed the door open and entered, standing not far from Yan Qirui.
"Yes." Yan Qirui nodded and put the photo in the drawer.
There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were a little gloomy.
"Xiaofan, do you know what Little Tian has been doing these past few days?"
His voice was dry and tight.
"I don't know." Jian Fan shook his head. Ever since he came back from Yan Shaotian, he had rarely looked for her.
She had just returned here not long ago and was busy with other things, so she had forgotten about it.
"Director Yan, did something happen to Little Tian?"
Jian Fan was extremely anxious. To her, Xiao Tian was like her own little brother.
"No, what can happen to that damn kid?" Yan Qirui harrumphed. This brat actually dared to lie to him!
Who the hell was he contacting? Running out all night?
"Director …"
Yan Qili stopped him. He frowned and looked at him for a long moment.
"Xiaofan, Little Tian has troubled you in New Zealand."
"Nope." Jian Fan shook his head. "I'm very happy with Little Tian around."
"As long as you're happy." Yan Qirui heaved a sigh of relief.
After a long while, he then continued, "Xiaofan, did something happen between you and Ling Chen?"
"Nope." Jian Fan shook his head. After a long time, he opened his mouth, "Director Yan, did you discover something abnormal?"
Had Ling Chen done something that sold the country behind her back, and she had forgotten about it?
Anger was accompanied by fear and trepidation. Jian Fan's lips were trembling.
Seeing her like this, Yan Qili let out a long sigh, then pushed the document in front of him to Jian Fan.
"Xiaofan, take a look."
He suddenly stood up. It was only a few years after the start of his life, yet he still had a head full of white hair.
Although his gaze was still as sharp as an eagle's, it was still a little fatigued.
Jian Fan took the document and read it carefully. Then, he frowned.
She had already read about it in the New Zealand newspapers, but the ring on it...
Subconsciously, Jane Fan clenched his fists and returned the document to Yan Qirui.
"Did you see it clearly?" Yan Qirui sighed. Something that should not have appeared had now appeared.
He appeared, but was bought away by Ling Chen. Was it destined to be so difficult to accomplish what he wanted to do?
"Look carefully." Jane Fan nodded and put the ring back in his pocket.
Yan Qirui did not notice her little trick and let out a long sigh. "Xiaofan, you and Ling Chen have seen this ring before."
He didn't say he would buy it, he only saw it before, and that was to give face to Jian Fan.
He wanted to make Jian Fan reveal the truth, so he opened his mouth and reached into his pocket. After a long while, he lowered his hand.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Yan Qirui and said, "Director Yan, we've met before." "And, it was won."
"Oh." Yan Qirui heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Xiaofan admitted it, this ring would definitely be in their hands.
As long as he was in their hands, everything would be fine. But if he was in someone else's hands …
Yan Qirui cast his gaze towards the bedside. Under the sunlight, the red moon moved with the wind. The brilliant red was one with the movements of that day.
"Xiaofan, do you want to know about your parents?"
"I, want to." This was the first time Yan Qirui took the initiative to mention Jian Fan's parents. His blood was boiling, and Jian Fan's voice was actually somewhat agitated. It took a long time before he could calm down.
Yan Qirui wasn't a good person to joke around with, but he truly believed the story to be good.
After dealing with this matter, Jane Fan came out of his office, her eyes still filled with deep grief.
Her parents were just like that …
Jian Fan took in a deep breath, and even his chest began to hurt.
She quickly walked to her seat and wanted to drink a mouthful of water, but the buzzing sound of her cell phone interrupted her.
She frowned and looked to the side. There was only a familiar cell phone lying on the table.
Tongtong, however, was nowhere to be seen …
When his gaze touched the name on it, Jane Fan hesitated for a moment before finally accepting it.
"Zhou Tong, what is the meaning of this?"
As soon as the call connected, Jian Fan heard a familiar voice. It was her brother Ye Han, but his tone towards Zhou Tong was not gentle.
"Big brother, this is Jian Fan." If Zhou Tong had picked up just now, wouldn't her mood have been very bad?
"Little Fan." Ye Han let out a breath of relief, his eyes fixed on the big words on the screen, "Is Zhou Tong here?" I have something to discuss with her! "
"She's not in the office. She might be out." Jian Fan smiled. "Big brother, how has your relationship with my sister-in-law been recently?" "I've specially gone out to give you guys so much space. Why don't you guys go over it a bit and give me a few more little nephews to play with? Wouldn't that be righteous?"
Jane Fan giggled, mischievously looking like a sixteen year old girl.
Zhou Tong looked at the side of Jian Fan's face with infatuation. The corner of his mouth hooked into a bitter smile.
That person should only be this happy when talking to Jane Fan, right?
Otherwise, why would her phone be ringing so late when she was just about to go to the toilet, Jane Fan?
With her heart filled with bitterness, Zhou Tong gently opened the door and locked herself in the bathroom.
All of this happened without anyone noticing. When Jane Fan finished chatting with Ye Han and told him to treat Zhou Tong well, she found out that it had been an hour since she came out.
As for Zhou Tong, she had left for more than an hour …
"Jian Fan!" As he held the phone in a daze, someone patted on his shoulder.
Jane Fan quickly turned around and saw Yan Qirui looking at her benevolently.
"Where's Tongtong? Did she leave in advance? " Yan Qirui looked towards Zhou Tong's desk and frowned slightly.
"Maybe. Tongtong's body isn't feeling well. " Jane Fan put Zhou Tong's phone into his pocket.
With his arm wrapped around Yan Qirui's, Jane Fan giggled. "Uncle Yan, it's been a long time since I've eaten the food made by my aunt. "I'm hungry."
"You little glutton!" Yan Qirui nodded at Jian Fan's nose and laughed heartily. I invited you home today. Your aunt must have cooked some delicious food for you to enjoy. Let's go, give Little Tian a call and let that damn brat come back and have a bite to eat! "
"Uncle Yan, it seems like you are still worried about Little Tian!" With a mocking smile, Jane Fan rushed to the bathroom without waiting for Yan Qirui to get angry.
Yan Qirui looked at her back, the corner of his mouth curving up into a warm smile.
Would you be so happy, Jane, if you found out one day that it wasn't what you thought it was?
Jane Fan walked into the bathroom and pushed the door open. There was a slight snoring sound coming from inside, which made her frown.
"Who's inside?" Jane Fan asked softly.
No one would sleep here, but she was sure she had no hallucinations.
No one! No one! Zhou Tong woke up from her sleep. She didn't want to face the sounds coming from outside the door.
"Who's inside?" Jian Fan asked again, and suddenly spoke up, "Tongtong? Is it you? "
No, not me!
Zhou Tong shook her head. She wanted to stand up, but found that her legs were numb.
Staying in the bathroom for more than an hour, her legs felt like lead and she couldn't move them at all.
"Tongtong, I know it's you." Jian Fan took a deep breath. She was a bit dissatisfied with Zhou Tong's actions.
"Xiaofan, you …" Why are you so smart?
Zhou Tong bitterly smiled. She knew she couldn't hide anymore. The sky and the silence around her let her know that she would either be found out by Jian Fan. Or the cleaning staff would find out.
Compared to the latter, she could only choose to speak out.
"Tongtong. Are you unable to move your legs? " "Open the door."
Zhou Tong nodded her head. Jian Fan took out his phone and said a few words to Yan Qirui, then walked over and pulled out Zhou Tong, whose leg was numb.
Because she had been maintaining this posture for a long time, Zhou Tong's body was stiff. Jian Fan helped her to the sofa in the office and massaged her for a long time before she regained consciousness.
"Little Fan …" Zhou Tong's voice was interrupted by Jian Fan in dissatisfaction.
"Tongtong, do you know that you're not alone right now?" You can't act so willfully anymore! "
Jian Fan's words caused Zhou Tong to be stunned. Her hand subconsciously moved to her abdomen. Wasn't that a person? Was it much better than a person?
If a person didn't love himself, even if he had a bargaining chip, it would just be a threat and not be loved.
"I know." As Zhou Tong spoke, his eyes became clear.
No matter what Jane Fan discovered, she was not prepared to admit it, much less tell her the truth.
"Tongtong." Seeing her like that, Jian Chen couldn't help but sigh. The massage on her hands became lighter, "Tongtong, marriage is a very disappointing place. Ye Han also has many bad aspects, but as long as you give him time, he will definitely work hard. After all, isn't it nice that he's already falling in love with you? "
Jian Fan's words caused Zhou Tong to feel very guilty. She opened her mouth to retort, but only smiled weakly in the end.
"Xiaofan, I know." She smiled like a beautiful sunflower.
Seeing the spirited Zhou Tong, Jian Fan let out a long sigh of relief. The calm and quiet atmosphere just now made her worry if Zhou Tong had suffered some sort of grievance.
"Tongtong, I'll take you home." Jian Fan helped Zhou Tong up. Zhou Tong's legs could already walk.
"No. I still have some documents to deal with, so I'll be leaving in a while! " Zhou Tong shook her head. She moved to the desk and sat down, then turned on the computer.
"Tongtong." Jane Fan put the phone down beside her in displeasure, "If you have any work to do, you can share it with me. We are friends, you should go back and have a good rest!"
"No, Xiaofan. "Thank you." Zhou Tong sincerely thanked him. This was destined to be a sleepless night. Rather than going back to face him without being able to speak, she might as well stay here and let things gradually cool down.
"Buzz buzz." "Who?" Jian Fan was still about to persuade her when his phone rang. She unhappily picked it up and heard the same arrogant voice from the other side.
"Didn't you want to know the secret of the ring? "Come outside."
Outside? Jian Fan looked doubtfully at the door. A man, who should not have appeared at this moment, was standing next to Yan Qirui's car.
"I'm in no hurry." Jian Fan turned around. Zhou Tong's situation made it impossible for her to leave.
"Why are you worried about her? Is this to steal your brother's chance to show off? " As if he could guess what Jian Fan was thinking, the other side spoke again, "Look at your right hand. Within three minutes, someone will take your friend away in front of you."
The call ended, and Jane put the phone back in her pocket. She stubbornly sat beside Zhou Tong. She had the feeling that if Zhou Tong didn't let her share it, she wouldn't leave.
"Little Fan …" Zhou Tong opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the figure pushing the door open, she fell silent.
