end of night

When Shu Yiwen and Bai Xinglan returned to Nancheng, it was very windy and stormy.

The climate in Hancheng and Nancheng is very different, so there are naturally many people who came to pick up Bai Xinglan, including Duan Chengze of course.

He was wearing a long black windbreaker, and when he saw Bai Xinglan, he said respectfully: "Miss Bai."

Bai Xinglan also appeared to be in a good mood. Shu Yiwen and her luggage were held by the bodyguards. After getting in the car, she looked at the sky in Nancheng with a smile on her lips.

Duan Chengze sat on the co-pilot and said softly: "I have already found out the person you want me to investigate. Shall I tell you about the recent situation in Nancheng?"

Bai Xinglan nodded, and Shu Yiwen looked at the two of them beside him, his mind slowly sank.

Duan Chengze spoke slowly, slowly telling what happened in Nancheng this month.

The officialdom in Nancheng has completely changed. A new secretary of the municipal party committee has arrived. He is very upright and looks like he is going to make some achievements in politics.

As for the business world, the Zhuang family and Wanshi joined forces to suppress Xinyue, who had sprung up in Nancheng some time ago. Now Xinyue is struggling in Nancheng, and the people behind him have slowly surfaced.

"Who is it?" Bai Xinglan asked.

She cared a lot about this man.

Duan Chengze took out a file bag from his briefcase and handed it to Bai Xinglan.

Bai Xinglan took it, and looking at the photo of the man in the file bag, he always felt that his appearance was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Xinyue is now an abandoned child. The man behind it is Li Qinglan. He came to Nancheng a week after Mr. Zhuang's death. He was a well-known overseas Chinese businessman in the United States before. The specific information is there. You You can take a closer look."

In fact, this time Zhuang and Wanshi crushed Xinyue together, perhaps because the other party didn't know much about Nancheng's form, but Duan Chengze always felt that this time it would not work, this man named Li Qinglan would definitely make a comeback, Xinyue was just his Just a bait.

Duan Chengze's sense of smell is actually quite sensitive. He knows that the business world is against the enemy, and sometimes killing them all may not be a good thing.

Xinyue lost so fast that it made him feel weird.

Bai Xinglan looked at the information, and the more he looked down, the more he frowned.

Li Qinglan, male, 44 years old, single.

His ancestral home is Nancheng, and he is now a native of the United States of America.

At the age of 20, he left Nancheng with his mother. He is a doctor of economics from a well-known school. At the age of 28, he founded Chengkang. At the age of 33, the company went public and his family fortune was billions.

His life is brilliant, but these are just life experiences, Bai Xinglan still can't understand his purpose.

Doctor of economics, how could it be possible that under the joint oppression of Zhuang and Wanshi, he lost in just one month?

Bai Xinglan handed back the information bag in her hand to Duan Chengze, she leaned on the car seat as if she had lost all strength, and the raindrops outside the window made her feel a little irritated for no reason.

"I think it's a little strange. If you say that Li Qinglan has been in the business world for so many years, even if he intends to take a share in Nancheng, it's impossible for Xinyue to be completely powerless to fight back so quickly, right?"

Bai Xinglan had been with Zhuang Yishen for a few years anyway, so she was naturally not that ignorant, and she could see the problem at a glance.

Duan Chengze's expression was a little relieved, he nodded and said yes, and continued to say to Bai Xinglan: "Having said that, don't forget that the foundation of the Zhuang family and Wanshi in Nancheng cannot be affected casually, whether it is the government or the government. The famous merchants in Nancheng would not want the Zhuang family to fall, after all, their money is still with us."

Shu Yiwen actually understood what she heard, so she didn't interrupt.

Duan Chengze's words are indeed correct. In fact, Shu Yiwen has also bought a little Zhuang's stock in these years. In the hearts of most people, of course they hope that Zhuang's will flourish and let them have more money in their hands.

Bai Xinglan smiled, and said to him: "Go back to Xiangxue Community, I will still live there for the time being."

Duan Chengze was a little surprised, he nodded and said: "You may not know that the piece of land in Xiangxue Community is the piece of land that Wanshi gave us."

"Ah?" Bai Xinglan looked at Shu Yiwen, but Shu Yiwen's face was calm.

"That house is not mine, I rent it."

After the two arrived at the gate of the community, Duan Chengze said goodbye to them, and then continued to ask the previous group of people to protect Bai Xinglan's safety.

After Shu Yiwen and Bai Xinglan returned home, Bai Xinglan collapsed on the sofa, and Shu Yiwen sat down with her.

"Sister, why don't you move to my place? I have quite a lot of houses in Nancheng, why don't you choose?" Bai Xinglan actually quite likes living with Shu Yiwen.

Shu Yiwen shook her head and said she refused: "No need, I'll see where I can rent a house, you don't have to worry about me."

"How can I do that? I still have to take care of my sister. Could it be that my sister doesn't like Xinglan anymore and wants to drive Xinglan away?" Bai Xinglan was a little scared after hearing what Shu Yiwen said. The land was bid away, and by the way, she was also to blame.

In fact, Bai Xinglan hasn't fully grasped Shu Yiwen's character yet. Shu Yiwen doesn't care much about many things. Seeing Bai Xinglan's nervous appearance, Shu Yiwen can only feel helpless and funny.

"What are you thinking about? It's not that I can't afford a house. This place is relatively close to where I work, and the people in the community are nice. It's just a pity when I think about it. Don't think so much, kid."

In fact, she and the landlord signed a year-to-year contract, and it happened to be expiring soon. She could tell the landlord about this and see if there is any house for rent nearby.

Bai Xinglan followed Shu Yiwen to stand up, her expression was still aggrieved: "I don't care, I will follow my sister wherever she is, if my sister despises me...I will."

Her tone really resembled a child playing with his temper. Shu Yiwen turned to look at her and asked, "What about you?"

Bai Xinglan blinked, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence, in a small voice, a little lacking in confidence: "I'll just cry."

Shu Yiwen was completely hit by her words, she couldn't help it, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and laughed.

"What I said is true. Except for the one month after I came to Nancheng, I cried several times. I haven't cried for several years. After that, I saw my sister cry once because of my injury. I really rarely cry. Sister, don't believe it."

Bai Xinglan's expression was a bit stubborn, she didn't know why, but she thought Shu Yiwen looked really pretty when she smiled like this.

It was like being possessed by a demon, Bai Xinglan pursed his lips, but felt a little sad.

After hearing what she said, Shu Yiwen put down his hands, then rubbed Bai Xinglan's hair, and then hugged her into his arms.

The sudden hug caught Bai Xinglan by surprise, she didn't know where to put her hands.

I only heard Shu Yiwen's voice was very soft and soft, floating gently in her ears like a feather: "Just kidding, don't be sad, follow me if you want to, it's really not good to rent a house, why don't you I'd better buy a house, the two of us will decorate together, and we'll buy whatever you like, okay?"

Bai Xinglan leaned against Shu Yiwen's chest, and she felt her face getting hotter and hotter.

Shu Yiwen really has such a good ability, which can soothe her heart in an instant.

For some reason, Shu Yiwen said that when the two of them were decorating together, Bai Xinglan's heart was actually moved.

Is this what love feels like?

The warmth seemed to fill her whole body, and she just wanted to nest in her arms and never come out again.

Bai Xinglan now roughly understands what Shu Yiwen means. Maybe she doesn't like to live in other people's homes. A woman like her has always been very strong, so why would she let herself live in someone else's house.

That being the case, if the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.

"Sister can say anything."

It's not unusual for two girls to live together. Shared renting can be found everywhere, and Shu Yiwen is not afraid of what others will say.

She knew that the relationship between her and Bai Xinglan was still in that damned ambiguous period, but Shu Yiwen was actually a little dark-hearted, she was not the kind of person who talked about everything, she preferred to express herself with practical actions.

Like this sentence, she may still find it difficult to say it.

But Bai Xinglan is not like this, she is a passionate woman, she just wants to say when it is better.

So from a certain point of view, these two girls are actually quite complementary, and the two of them live together and gradually have a tacit understanding, it just depends on who will pierce the window paper first.

It was already afternoon when Shu Yiwen and Bai Xinglan returned home, they didn't pack their luggage much, so it would be superfluous to move.

Bai Xinglan asked someone to bring some vegetables and melons over. When Shu Yiwen was on the phone with the landlord, she was cutting the honeydew melons in her hand.

The box of apples that Wang Shi gave to Shu Yiwen before was given to Bai Xinglan's bodyguards because Shu Yiwen was afraid that it would go bad after being left for too long, so it would not be wasted.

"Hello, Sister Jiang, I'm Xiaoshu. Ah, yes, the contract is not renewed. I will find a house as soon as possible. Oh no, thank you. I'll call you when I'm done. I give you the key..."

Bai Xinglan listened with pricked ears. She cut up the honeydew melon in her hand, put two forks in it, and just as she left the kitchen, Shu Yiwen hung up the phone.

"What does the landlord say?" Bai Xinglan forked a piece of honeydew melon and put it into his mouth. The honeydew melon has a very dense texture, not crispy, but melts in the mouth.

Shu Yiwen put the mobile phone on the table in the living room, and said: "The landlord said that she doesn't want anything in this house, so we can move it as we please. After two months, this area will be completely leveled, so the time left for us is really That's quite a lot."

Bai Xinglan nodded: "The house in this area has actually been around for a long time, even if it is demolished, the compensation will not be less."

"What kind of house do you like?"

In fact, Shu Yiwen didn't like living with others before, but since Bai Xinglan came, she felt that there is nothing wrong with living with others.

Just like before, Bai Xinglan cooks, she washes the dishes, and the housework is divided reasonably, everything seems to be in order.

Bai Xinglan hadn't thought about this, but she still smiled sweetly and said to Shu Yiwen, "I like a house with my sister around."

Shu Yiwen smiled lightly and praised her, "Small mouth is so sweet."
