After four days of waiting, the latest news about the high-ranking official-involved/suspected/discipline violation/bill that shocked City D finally came on the fifth day. Early in the morning, all newspapers and magazines in City D published it. Such news broke out on the most eye-catching headlines of the most authoritative newspapers. The time for the preliminary trial of the Nie family case has been set, and the name of the plaintiff appeared in the column.

Si Lan!

This man, who has been in the position of mayor/mayor of City D since he was twenty-five years old, has been in politics for seven years. He has created remarkable achievements for City D since he took office. He focuses on attracting investment and can coordinate the city very well. The friendly relationship between the leaders of various industries led to the construction of a new city on the other side of the river in City D, and the re-planning of City D into five major areas: light industry, heavy industry, living area, commercial area, and entertainment area, all within his jurisdiction. Within the city, the public security conditions and environmental sanitation have changed most completely. At this time, if you go out on the street and catch any old lady or old man and ask the city manager/chief how the management is, they will give a thumbs up, ah, that Young man, he is very good and courageous! He is a man who does big things! But these praises only come from the mouths of these old people who are retired and have nothing to do but see clearly, and then they sigh. Sound, what a pity, what a pity!

Some reporters who went out to conduct interviews found that those who were willing to express their opinions on camera were old people and students, while no one who was middle-aged or civil servants dared to say anything about this matter.

Because many people know what kind of power is behind this young mayor. Representatives of the four families and people who are familiar with it are watching from the other side and thinking deeply. If Si Lan is convicted, what will happen to the others? Will each family be implicated? For the four families whose combined market share of creating profit value can be regarded as one-half of D City, just a new character can pull out this grass. It will be like this easy?

Unless the fatal vein is pinched.

At this time, the time of the public trial was also revealed, and people became more certain about this idea.

People have speculated that it seems that the young mayor did a lot of shameful things in order to come to power. The Nie family’s fire back then must not have been simple. The truth about the former mayor/mayor Nie Yunhao who committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime is also unknown. It’s not necessarily like that. Some people even connected the death of Mayor Nie’s eldest son and his wife’s death together, and they all sighed, “It’s so deep! This water is so deep!”

There were still two days left for the public trial that everyone was waiting for, but on the second day after the public trial time was announced, another bombshell news seemed to be released.

It is reported that Si Lan confessed.

plead guilty, plead guilty!!!

It means that the trial is just a process of direct conviction and sentencing, it means that the dust of this vigorous case has settled, and it also means that the moment has come when someone has to pay a heavy price for this matter.

If the speculation in the newspapers is true, then the thirty-year-old mayor may have no chance of survival.

There was the sound of newspapers being flipped in the air. After reading the headlines, Shu Ran flipped through the newspapers anxiously like he had done a few days ago. His eyes did not miss any corner of the newspaper, the first page or the second page. , the third page, she glanced ten lines at a time. Although she was fast, her eyes were as bright as a torch and she looked very carefully. After turning the last page, she did not see the information she was looking for. She was relieved but also uneasy. She wished she could be there. I saw a little bit of news about him in the newspaper but I was afraid to read it.

The newspaper mentioned the time of Si Lan's public trial, but did not mention Shang Qingwen.

It’s already the fourth day!

Why is there still no news?

Shu Ran put down the newspaper. The smell of the ink on her fingers made her face turn pale slightly. She covered her mouth and stood up, walked quickly into the bathroom, and turned on the faucet.

Her reaction during pregnancy became more and more prominent as her mood changed. Two days ago she could still eat a large bowl at one meal, but her appetite became worse and worse in the past two days.

Shu Tongya, who was making soup in the kitchen, heard the bathroom in the living room overflowing again, and couldn't help but frown deeply. Yesterday, she took Shu Ran to the hospital for a full-body examination. The doctor said that she was weak and that her previous miscarriage was a massive hemorrhage.

Moreover, Shu Ran’s uterine wall is thin, and because she has always suffered from cold hands and feet, and her body is cold, she is prone to habitual miscarriage/abortion. The advice given is to take supplementary medicines to maintain the fetus and rest peacefully to maintain the fetus.

But at this juncture, how do you ask her to calm down?

Shu Tongya had a head-to-head communication with Shu Ran about this matter, letting her know the true condition of her body and drawing attention to it. Shu Ran also knew her body well. She had promised Shu Tongya that she would raise her baby with peace of mind. She would do it three times a day.

He ate all the food prepared by Shu Tongya on time, according to the quality and quantity, and he would hold on even if he couldn't eat anymore.

Because the baby needs it!

For her first child, Shu Ran lay on the bed for a whole month. She had tasted the suffering. When she walked out of the hospital and received the doctor's examination report, Shu Ran felt panic and fear in her heart. She was so

They are looking forward to the arrival of their child, but when the happy event arrives, they are afraid that they will not work hard enough or be careful enough to protect the child in their belly.

Therefore, she worked very hard to force herself to eat and sleep. Even if the lights in the bedroom were turned off at night, her eyes were still wide open, looking at the dim moonlight outside the open curtains.

Even though she was not sleepy, she still forced herself to put on a blindfold and count the sheep. She waited with expectation, and was anxious as she waited day by day, but she still believed in hope. Maybe, maybe when she woke up, there would be people around her.

I already have someone I want to see. Maybe I will wake up from a dream and be in his arms when I wake up!

Shu Ran had eaten more food in the past four days than she had in the past week, but she was getting thinner and thinner. She was so thin that she could see that her eye sockets were very deep, and her eyes were shining brightly.

Although she still had a smile on her face, she became quieter and quieter day by day. Shu Tongya changed different recipes every day. Watching her finish eating, and watching her daughter who was getting thinner despite taking supplements, she felt anxious. It had only been four days.

That's all, the twenty-four hours of each day are the same as any other day, but this kind of mood is that the longer she waits, the more anxious she becomes. This time is passing by like years, and she is really afraid that Ranran will not be able to hold on!

Shu Tongya and Ran Qidong discussed whether they could find a way for Shu Ran and Shang Qingwen to meet each other, which would at least give her some peace of mind. Shu Ran was different from the past. She was pregnant, and she was filled with anxiety as she waited day by day.

It was all torture. Ran Qidong just sighed and told Shu Tongya that there was nothing I could do.

"Mom, I'm fine!"

As soon as Shu Tongya hung up the phone, Shu Ran's voice came from behind. She had a usual smile on her face, and her slightly pale face made Shu Tongya feel a little pain. She stretched out her hand to touch her emaciated body with pity.

"Of course, why don't we go out for a walk?"

They have been staying at home for four days. Ran Qidong brings all the daily necessities at home after get off work every day. The weather is not too hot today. It is almost five o'clock now. It is cooler at night and they can go out for a walk. , relax your mind.

Staying at home all the time is not an option either.

Shu Ran was stunned at first, and then agreed. She changed into a skirt and put on flat sandals. When she went out, she stood at the door with a bunch of keys and paused. Shu Tongya helped her carry the bag.

Looking at Shu Ran who was standing at the door without moving, he finally knelt down and put a key from the key chain under the door mat, touched it with his hand, then stood up and smiled, "Let's go!"

"

Shu Tongya felt a little sad when she saw her daughter finish this action. She understood why she was slightly startled when she just proposed to go out for a walk. She was thinking that if Shang Qingwen came back, what would happen to her family?

What should I do if no one is there? She carefully placed a key under the doormat, and the movement of stroking/touching it with her hands was so full of hope. Her tenacious waiting never stopped.

Shu Ran had not stepped out of this apartment for four days. When she stepped out of the elevator, Shu Ran felt a little dazed. Shu Tongya reached out to hold her hand and began to tell her about going to the beauty salon and told her that she would be there in person later.

After giving her a beauty treatment, Shu Ran smiled. After she accompanied her to get her hair cut last time, Shu Tongya said that she didn't pay attention to her hair care and was afraid that she would age quickly, so she opened a joint venture with the owner of the hair salon.

At the beauty salon, Shu Ran didn't expect that because of her slovenliness, she actually stimulated her mother to open the beauty salon herself. Shu Ran couldn't come back from Switzerland on the day the beauty salon opened. During the time she came back, she was busy with the research institute.

So I didn’t take the time to check it out. Shu Tongya was still thinking about the red envelope for her opening. She had told her several times before that it would be fine if she didn’t give the red envelope. At least she could use the public relations to introduce some people.

A VIP customer came over.

Shu Ran naturally does not think that Ms. Shu is doing this just for fun. With her character, once she makes up her mind to do something, she will have a beginning and an end, and she will try her best to do her best. Ms. Shu's positive energy is always endless.

.

Shu Ran knew that Ms. Shu wanted to distract her by talking about her career. She knew it and cooperated with her, but this kind of mood could not be calmed down.

The two of them drove to Shu Tongya's studio first. The chosen location of the studio was on a busy pedestrian street. It was the rush hour for work at this time. Shu Tongya didn't know which shortcut to take to get there. The road was smooth and helpless.

In the warm and friendly words of "Good evening, Sister Shu!", Shu Ran followed Shu Tongya into this extremely exquisitely decorated beauty salon.

"The time I get off work here is ten o'clock in the evening. Many white-collar workers have time to come for beauty treatments only after work. If VIPs make reservations in advance, we have to work overtime!" Shu Tongya walked into her office with Shu Ran,

A very feminine room, not only decorated with a very fashionable atmosphere, but you can also smell the strange fragrance of flowers as soon as you walk in. When you go to find the fragrance, you find that there is a small balcony over there that Shu Tongya personally planted.

The delicate little woman's mentality was revealed unconsciously. It was difficult for Shu Ran to overlap the woman who was holding a recipe and making soup in the kitchen just a moment ago with the woman with beautiful temperament and light in front of her.

His eyes were attracted by the bouquet of fresh roses on the table. There was also a bouquet on the flower stand in the corner. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. Mr. Ran seemed to have a competitor again?

"What are you looking at? Whatever you like, you can take it away later!" Shu Tongya said decisively, picked up the phone on the desk and dialed the intercom to ask an employee to come in.

Shu Ran stretched out her hand and pulled down the petals of a rose. She saw that there was indeed a card in the bouquet, and the name on the card was indeed not Ran Qidong's. Shu Ran let out a sigh in her heart, sighing again that her father's road to pursuing his wife might have to take another step.

Trouble was caused.

But Shu Tongya seemed to understand the meaning in her eyes and said, "The easier it is to get it, the less you know how to cherish it!"

Shu Ran twitched the corners of her lips again. Her mother was insinuating that she had followed her father because she had arranged a baby marriage, and that her father had gotten it too easily, so he didn't know how to cherish it.

Shu Ran heard her mother's words with deep meaning. An abnormal emotion flashed through her eyes. They all said that they know their daughter better than her mother. But at this time, Shu Ran understood the struggle in her mother's eyes. She held on to the armrest of the chair and sat down.

She came down, looked at Shu Tongya's slightly absent-minded expression, and said softly, "You told me that if you can't let go of the past, you can't talk about the future!" The reason why she has been unwilling to agree to her father's request for remarriage is because she can't let go of her passing.

Uncle Qin, the man who was kind to her and helped her grow up, but couldn't resist her father's gentle attack. I think this period of getting along with her also gave her a better understanding and change of her father.

Confusion and struggle were seen in her eyes.

"I think Uncle Qin also hopes that you can live well!" Shu Ran said and glanced at the photo album on Shu Tongya's desk. There were three photos placed side by side. One of them made Shu Ran slightly surprised.

With a sound, Shu Tongya was attracted by the chubby little boy in the photo, and she picked it up and handed it to her.

"Yu Fei sent it here. He just called me yesterday and asked me to say hello to you!"

The background of the photo is on the beach, with Qin Yufei, Ruan Xin, and Xiaobao. It has been more than half a year since Qin Yufei went to the United States after the Qin family went bankrupt. During this period, he has never contacted Shu Ran, but he doesn't want them.

I still keep in touch with Shu Tongya frequently.

The smiles of the three people in the photo were bright and sunny. This family of three seemed to be living a more fulfilling and free life after the Qin family's bankruptcy. Perhaps only those who have truly experienced it will cherish this hard-won happiness. Qin Yufei understood,

Ruan Xin also understands that too much care will not make people relaxed, but will only make life more tiring. They choose to travel lightly and face life with a more positive and optimistic attitude.

This is so good!

"Of course!" Shu Tongya reached out and took hold of Shu Ran's fingers that were quietly rubbing on the photo, and looked into her eyes and said firmly.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine!"

－－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The temperature at night dropped several degrees compared to the daytime. Si's house was brightly lit, and the soft white lights seemed a bit cold. In the large living room, only the servants who kept watch were still busy. A cup of warm red date milk was brought up and placed.

In front of the woman sitting quietly on the sofa.

"Madam, the milk is ready! Please drink some!"

My wife's appetite has been bad these days, and the atmosphere in the Si family is so depressing that it's almost suffocating.

Mrs. Si opened her eyes and looked at the milk placed in front of her. She shook her head slightly. She also had a string of jade beads in her hand. She had been breaking this string of beads while sitting here for several hours. She opened her eyes.

She glanced upstairs, and just when the servant thought she was going to ask her husband again if he hadn't eaten either, the servant even thought about how to answer, when he heard Mrs. Si say softly: "People from the He family called today.

, what did sir reply?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Sir, you said no!"
