Translator: 549690339

“The one inside is my friend.” Lin Li glared at the man and said.

“That won’t do either.” The man said. He didn’t look at her again and directly closed the door, blocking Lin Li outside.

Lin Li glared at the door for a while, but she was helpless. Sitting on a plastic chair in the corridor, Lin Li looked at the tightly shut door with some worry. She was a little nervous. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the ward suddenly opened, and a man came out. He looked at Lin Li with a dark expression, and after a long while, he asked, ” “You’re Lin Li?”

Lin Li nodded in a daze and asked, ” can I go in now? ” She was still worried about an ran.

The man looked at her coldly and turned to the side, saying, ” “Come in, we also have something to ask you.”

Because of Zhou Han’s phone call just now, Lin Li was somewhat prepared. She entered the ward sideways and saw that since they were standing on both sides of Anran’s bed, a man who was slightly older than the others said, ” “You’re Lin Li?”

Lin Li nodded, looked at her, and then turned to look at Anran. She couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her phone. She had never seen such a situation before, and she was still a little scared.

The man walked over to her and said, ” my surname is Yan. I’m the leader of the investigation team sent by the Provincial Party Committee to investigate su Yicheng’s corruption and bribery case. I hope you can answer my questions truthfully. &Quot;

Lin Li looked at him and nodded. &Quot; what do you want to ask? ” she asked.

What’s your relationship with Gu Anran? ” Yan Li asked, his eyes fixed on her eyes, as if he could see through her, not letting go of any slight changes on her face.

“Friend, my best friend.” Lin Li looked back at him and said firmly.

Without giving Lin Li time to react, Yan Li continued to ask, ” then did Gu Anran give you a pearl necklace worth a million Yuan on June 2nd this year? ” He was still looking at her without blinking.

“Yes.” Lin Li nodded affirmatively, looked at him, and said, ” I did receive a pearl necklace on the 2nd of June, but it was given to me by Anran by our boyfriend. &Quot;

......

“Who’s your boyfriend?” Yan Li asked.

“Zhou han.” Almost without thinking, Lin Li said it very calmly, as if she was just stating a fact, without a hint of unnaturalness.

Yan Li looked at her, and only asked after a while, ” “Where is that necklace?”

“In my house.” Lin Li’s face was calm as she looked at him and said, ” if you don’t mind, you can come to my house with me now. I’ll show you the necklace to prove that what I said is true. &Quot;

“Alright.” Yan Li looked at her and nodded. Then, he turned to his colleague and asked him to go back with Lin Li to confirm whether she was telling the truth.

Lin Li glanced at Anran and nodded at her. Then, she turned around and left with the other staff.

After Lin Li left, Yan Li turned his head and looked at Anran. He stared at her for a while before saying, ” if you really just wanted to pass the necklace to Lin Li for Zhou han, why did you transfer five thousand Yuan from your account to his husband? ”

&Quot; I borrowed 5000 Yuan from him before, but I couldn’t find the right time to return the money to him. He came to look for me that day, so I asked for his account number and transferred it to him. &Quot; Anran looked at him as she spoke, but she clenched her hands tightly under the blanket.

Yan Li looked at her and asked,”do you know about the tender for the technology City project?” Did su Yicheng already decide to give Zhou han the demolition project in the north of the city?”

“I’m not sure.” Anran said truthfully, ” Yicheng never says anything about work at home, so he never told me anything about the bidding for Technology City. Also, I believe in Yicheng’s character. He definitely won’t do anything that goes against his principles. I believe that the final result of the bidding chose Zhou Han’s company because of their own reasons. &Quot; In fact, she could tell that su Yicheng and Zhou han didn’t have a good relationship, and they didn’t have any private contact. If su Yicheng really had selfish motives, would he still choose Zhou han? The man who had betrayed his friendship!

Yan Li looked at her for a long time, but he didn’t see anything strange on her face.

The few of them stood there in a deadlock, their faces still serious. However, they didn’t ask Anran anything more, as if they were waiting for news from Lin Li to confirm whether what Lin Li said was true.

Under the blanket, an ran’s hand was gently placed on her lower abdomen, as if she was trying to feel the existence of the child in her stomach.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was so serious that it was a little strange, there was a knock on the door.

Yan Li furrowed his brows. He had clearly told the medical staff here that they wanted to ask some questions and that they were not to be disturbed.

His eyes indicated for the colleague beside him to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he heard Qin Yun’s voice coming from outside. &Quot; Yan Li, what did you do to my wife and grandson! &Quot;

Upon hearing this, Anran and Yan Li, who were in the room, quickly turned their heads to look outside the ward. They saw Qin Yun standing at the door with an angry face, and su Wenqing, who looked a little serious, was standing beside her.

As Qin Yun spoke, she was about to enter but was stopped by the investigation team at the door. &Quot; sorry, we’re asking questions. &Quot;

&Quot; interrogation? how did you interrogate him? you’ve already brought him to the hospital! &Quot; Qin Yun was a little excited. When she received the call that Anran was in the hospital, she was so scared that her legs almost turned to jelly. It didn’t matter who was in the hospital, but Anran was pregnant right now. How could she go to the hospital for no reason?

Upon seeing this, Yan Li turned around and left. He stood at the door, looked at su Wenqing and Qin Yun, and forced a smile. &Quot; “Brother, sister-in-law.”

“Move aside, let me in.” Qin Yun looked at him and spoke in a very harsh tone. She didn’t have time to talk to him. She was worried about Anran.

&Quot; sister-in-law, ” Yan Li said with a troubled expression, ” look at me, I’m busy with work. Aren’t you making things difficult for me? ”

“What’s wrong with making things difficult for you? is this how you guys act? Yan Li, I’m telling you, Anran is pregnant right now. If anything happens to her, I’d like to see how you’ll face our old man. ” Qin Yun said with hatred. “Get out of my way, I want to go in,”

Yan Li knew that he wouldn’t be able to take it if Qin Yun became rude and unreasonable, and only su Wenqing could deal with Qin Yun’s fiery temper. No matter what, as long as su Wenqing spoke up, she would definitely not have any objections. As such, Yan Li looked at su Wenqing, who was standing at the side, with a troubled expression, hoping that he would say something.

Su Wenqing glanced at him and nodded. He then said to Qin Yun, ” &Quot; alright, Yan Li is also on official business. We can’t delay his work, so let him clarify the situation first. &Quot;

&Quot; but Anran ... She’s ... &Quot; Qin Yun wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted by Anran who was in the ward.

She heard an ran’s voice from the ward. &Quot; mom, I’m fine. &Quot;

Hearing this, Qin Yun finally relaxed. She patted her chest and muttered, ” It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good that you’re fine ... &Quot; he then raised his voice and said to the ward, ” &Quot; Anran, don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine. Dad and mom are both outside. &Quot;

“Yes.” Anran replied, her hand slowly caressing her stomach. She relaxed and was no longer as nervous and scared as before.

Yan Li closed the door and returned to Anran. Looking at her slightly pale face, he couldn’t help but ask in concern, ” “Is your body really alright?” In fact, it was just as Qin Yun had said. No matter what the results of the investigation were, if something really happened to Anran’s stomach, he would really be too embarrassed to face the SU family’s old master.

Anran nodded. &Quot; yeah, it’s nothing serious. &Quot;

Only then did Yan Li relax. He looked at her and nodded. After Qin Yun’s disturbance, he wanted to ask but didn’t know what else to ask. At that moment, his phone rang. It was a call from his colleague who had just gone to the apartment with Lin Li to get the necklace. He answered the call and asked, ” “How is it?”

&Quot; that necklace is indeed in Lin Li’s house. She’s telling the truth. &Quot; The person on the other end of the phone said.

Hearing this, Yan Li seemed to heave a sigh of relief as well. He nodded and said, ” “I know.” Then, he hung up the phone.

When he looked at Anran again, the seriousness on his face was gone. With a slight smile, he said, ” “I found the necklace in Lin Li’s apartment.”

“It was Zhou han who asked me to send Lin Li to school.” An ran only said lightly.

“Yes.” Yan Li nodded and looked at her as he said frankly, ” &Quot; I watched ah Zhen grow up. He’s almost like my own child. When I received the report that he was corrupt and bribed, to be honest, I was shocked myself. In my memory, ah Zhen would never do such a thing. Later, I saw that the information said that you were the one who accepted a gift worth millions. I can trust ah Zhen’s character, but I can’t trust you, a stranger. &Quot;

Anran didn’t say anything and only looked at him. She could understand. After all, he was someone she had never met before. If it were her, she wouldn’t believe him either.

Yan Li continued, ” at his age, it’s really not easy for ah Zhen to get to his current position without relying on his family’s connections. Of course, sometimes, the higher you go, the more jealous people will naturally be, especially in a society where power is dominant. There’s a saying that goes,’if you don’t attack others, others will attack you.’ It doesn’t mean that you can live in peace just because you do your part. Those who really want to cause trouble will find a way to take you down because of your part. You’re his wife, so your actions may become a tool for others to use against him. I hope that you’ll be more considerate of ah Luo’s point of view in the future and consider his position. Although it was a misunderstanding this time, it’s enough to prove that someone really wanted to cause trouble for you.”

Hearing this, Anran stopped the elevator and promised, ” “I will,” She had always thought that she was doing a good job. Because she knew the uniqueness of his job, she had never asked him about anything related to his work. She had also never promised anyone anything on his behalf, whether verbally or in writing. However, she didn’t expect that even after doing so, it was still impossible to guard against. If someone really had the intention, no matter how small the matter was, it would be used to make a fuss. No matter how simple and ordinary it looked, it would become Fatal Evidence. If it wasn’t for Zhou han this time, she didn’t know what the outcome would be ...

Yan Liyan didn’t say anything more. He nodded at her, turned around, and opened the door. Just as he was about to leave, Anran called out to him from behind.

“Wait a moment.” Seeing that he was about to leave, Anran hurriedly called out to him. He had finished asking, but she still had some questions that she hadn’t asked clearly.

Yan Li turned his head in confusion and looked at her, asking, ” “You still have something to do?”

Anran nodded, looked at him, and asked, ” “Yicheng, Yicheng, is he ...”

Without waiting for Anran to finish, Yan Li directly said, ” &Quot; although I know this is a misunderstanding, we still need su Yicheng’s cooperation in the investigation. I can’t say anything else. I can only say that if he has no problems, we naturally won’t make things difficult for him. &Quot;

Anran looked at him and could only nod. She didn’t ask any more questions. &Quot; I understand. &Quot;

Yan Li glanced at her, then turned around to open the door and leave. The colleague from the investigation team who had come with him also followed him out of the ward.

Outside the ward, Yan Li smiled and said to Qin Yun, ” &Quot; sister-in-law, I’ve asked. You can go in. &Quot;

Qin Yun glanced at him in annoyance, but because she was worried about Anran’s condition, she didn’t have time to pay attention to him. She directly pushed his shoulder away and entered the ward.

“An ran.” When Qin Yun came in and saw Anran’s pale face, her heart ached. She quickly went up to sit on the stool beside her bed, took her hand, and said, ” “Why is your face so pale?”

“Mom,” she said. Anran smiled at her faintly, shook her head, and said, ” “I’m fine,” she said.

&Quot; this Yan Li is really ... To think that the old master would always order me to make soup for him every time he comes. I’m just afraid that he won’t have any soup to drink outside. &Quot; Qin Yun said with some anger.

“Mom,” she said. Anran held her hand and explained, ” &Quot; it’s not about team leader Yan. I was only admitted to the hospital because I was not careful. Team leader Yan is just here to ask me some questions and understand the situation. &Quot;

“Is that so?” Qin Yun furrowed her brows and said, ” that’s also his fault. If he wanted to ask, then he should have asked. Doesn’t he know how to pick the time? can’t he see that you’re not feeling well? he even brought so many people over. He’s just disturbing your rest. &Quot; Qin Yun was really infuriated, and her words became a little unreasonable.

Anran chuckled, knowing that Qin Yun’s heart ached for her, but she also felt lucky for her. Everyone said that the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the most difficult to get along with in the world, but ever since she married su Yicheng, Qin Yun had treated her well. She didn’t believe in the so-called supernatural and supernatural. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that if she really had a past life or a past life, then she must have done a lot of good things in her past life, which was why she could meet a good husband like su Yicheng in this life. To have met such a good mother-in-law like Qin Yun.

&Quot; how is it? what did the doctor say? is there any problem? ” Qin Yun pulled her hand and pulled the blanket away. She looked at her stomach and asked with concern.

&Quot; there’s some red, but she’s been injected with progesterone. The doctor has checked and the child is normal, but she needs to be hospitalized for a few days for observation. &Quot; An ran said honestly.

Hearing this, Qin Yun touched her stomach with heartache. After a long while, she said softly, ” you must be very scared just now, right? ah Luo wasn’t by your side. &Quot;

Anran nodded. When she found out that her stomach was in pain, she was really scared to death. She called su Yicheng, but he couldn’t be found no matter what, so she was even more flustered. But fortunately, their baby was very strong. As she thought about it, she reached out and gently stroked her stomach.

“Mom, Yicheng will be fine, right?” she asked. Anran said softly. She already knew the answer in her heart, but she still couldn’t help but want to ask. She wanted someone to tell her that su Yicheng would be fine and that he would come back later.

Qin Yun touched her head lovingly and said, ” &Quot; yes, ah Zhen wouldn’t do those things. Yan Li will find out. Ah Zhen will be fine. &Quot;

An ran nodded with a faint smile on her face.

Qin Yun raised her hand and looked at the time. Only then did she realize that it was almost six in the evening. Thinking that she must not have eaten anything at the hospital, she asked, ” “Are you hungry? Mommy will buy you some porridge, okay?”

Anran shook her head. Although she hadn’t eaten lunch, she didn’t feel hungry, but she was a little tired and tired. Knowing that su Yicheng was fine, she could really relax. &Quot; mom, I’m a little tired, ” he said to Qin Yun. &Quot; I want to sleep. &Quot;

Qin Yun nodded her head repeatedly and said, ” Okay, okay, okay. Go to sleep. Mom is here. You can sleep without worry. &Quot; As he spoke, he helped her lie down.

What she had experienced today felt more than what she had experienced in a year. Time felt longer, and she was really tired, both physically and mentally. She lay down and closed her eyes. It didn’t take long for an ran to fall asleep.

Qin Yun sat beside her for a while, and after making sure that she was sleeping soundly, she got up and left the ward.

In her daze, she could smell a familiar scent, a familiar warmth on her face, and a familiar voice calling her name softly by her ear. His large palm was gently placed on her lower abdomen.

“What?” An ran mumbled and slowly woke up. The lights in the ward were dimmed, but they weren’t glaring.

“You’re awake?” That warm and pleasant voice sounded in her ear. It was low and a little affectionate.

When Anran turned around, her eyes met su Yicheng’s sparkling eyes, and she looked at his handsome face that was so close to hers. They had just kissed each other affectionately when he left for work that morning, and they hadn’t seen each other for at most ten hours. However, at this moment, as she looked at su Yicheng’s familiar face, Anran felt as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. The sourness at the tip of her nose stung her eyes, and she couldn’t control the temperature in her eyes. The temperature in her eyes suddenly soared, and the moisture in her eyes quickly blurred her eyes. She reached out and touched his face, as if she wanted to feel that his existence was real and that he could be touched.

Su Yicheng pulled her hand over and placed it on his face, letting her feel the heat of his body. He smiled at her and gently called her name, ” Anran. &Quot; She dragged the last note and it sounded very lingering.

The mist in her eyes grew more and more, until her eyes could no longer hold it. Then, Pearl-like tears rolled down from her eyes. She was clearly crying, but she couldn’t help but smile. She murmured his name, ” Yicheng ... Yicheng ... &Quot;

Su Yicheng pulled her hand down and put it to his mouth to ask, then reached out to wipe away her tears and said in a soft and loving voice, ” “Silly girl, why are you crying?”

Anran pouted and shook her head, but she couldn’t stop her tears. She couldn’t wipe them all away. She turned her body to the side, leaving half of the bed empty, and patted her head.”Get on.”

Su Yicheng shook his head, touched her forehead, and said, ” “I’m covered in the smell of smoke.” Those people were like chimneys, smoking one cigarette after another.

“Get on.” An ran looked at him with determination and patted the bed again.

Su Yicheng smiled and shook his head helplessly. He stood up, took off his coat, and put it aside before lying down next to her. He pulled her into his arms and offered his arm for her to rest on.

Anran pressed herself against him and hugged him tightly, more tightly than she had ever hugged before.

Su Yicheng laughed, touched her head, and said with a smile, ” “An ran, I’m here. I won’t leave.”

An ran didn’t say anything, but she hugged him even more tightly.

Su Yicheng sighed softly and lowered his head to kiss the center of her hair. He knew that he had scared her today. She was completely unprepared, so it was normal for her to be afraid. He had been prepared that those people would make a move on him in the near future and take advantage of the technology City project to find his flaws, but he didn’t expect that they would directly target Anran. This was something that he had not expected, so he had let his guard down, and Anran was not prepared at all.

As he kissed the center of her hair, su Yicheng said apologetically, ” “I’m sorry to have made you worry.”

An ran hugged him and shook her head, but she didn’t speak.

Su Yicheng hugged her back and gently patted her glass, and the two of them lay in bed in each other’s arms.

After a while, su Yicheng remembered that when he had just returned, his mother had told him at the door that Anran hadn’t had dinner yet and asked him to heat up the porridge she had ordered for Anran with hot water for her to eat when she woke up.

He whispered into Anran’s ear, ” &Quot; Anran, are you hungry? can we get up and have some porridge? ”

After waiting for a long time and not hearing her answer, su Yicheng lowered his head in confusion and saw that she had already fallen asleep in his arms with her eyes closed.

He shook his head with a chuckle and gently patted her back. Thinking of everything that had happened today, he didn’t want such a thing to happen again. He might still remember some things in the past, but some people didn’t think so. Instead of waiting for others to bully him, it seemed that he should strike back. Compared to their despicable act of framing him, at least he had real evidence.
