Chapter 143: Treating me so badly

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Tu Ran said, "Aunt Ping, tell her that it is not convenient for us to come back at the moment. Please ask her to come back another day."

"Oh, you are so cruel. You are distancing yourself from me right away?" Xie Huailan looked at Tu Ran with a smile.

The old lady knew what her granddaughter-in-law meant, which was to give face to the Xie family and also to save face for the Lin family.

If you come to borrow money at this time, you will undoubtedly be slapped in the face.

With Xie Huailan around, it would be impossible for her to borrow money, and she would be ridiculed. It was not worth it.

"Just do as Ranran said." The old lady waved her hand and told Pinggu to send her away.

After being rejected, Mrs. Lin left in tears without even entering the Xie family.

"Everyone, let's eat." The old lady announced.

Xie Huailan was still nagging at this point, glancing at Tu Ran. "It's freezing cold, and Madam Lin is here, and you didn't even invite her in to sit down? Isn't she always good to you? She's your adoptive mother after all, and you're so cruel to her, little girl. How can that be justified?"

Tu Ran smiled slightly, "Second Aunt, if you are soft-hearted, you can lend her the money. Do you want me to give Lin Siyao your phone number?"

Xie Huailan immediately said in a cold voice, "What does it have to do with me? She is your adoptive mother, not ours. It is not my turn to borrow money from the Lin family."

"Since it's none of your business, why don't you stop bringing it up again and again?" Tu Ran continued to speak in a friendly manner.

"What? Don't I have the right to eat and chat in my own home? This is the Xie family, my surname is Xie, who do you think you are? You have only been here for a few days?" Xie Huailan always spoke in a strong manner, and his words were full of suppression and contempt.

"I'm really nothing, but Second Aunt has been targeting me, and I can't figure it out. Have I offended Second Aunt in any way? Why do you keep giving her this hard time?"

Xie Huailan slammed her chopsticks and raised her voice, "Oh my God, everyone, give me some advice. Are you throwing mud? When did I ever say you offended me? I only said a few words out of pity for Madam Lin. If you weren't guilty, would you be afraid of what I would say?"

"Yes, Second Aunt is kind-hearted. I'll let you sit on the big Buddha seat in Baiyun Temple, okay?"

Tu Ran had long realized that Xie Huailan would never let him go.

If you keep silent, you will always be ridiculed.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to fight back.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Is this what a junior should say to an elder? I am Nancheng's aunt." Xie Huailan cursed.

At this time, Xie Nancheng also threw his chopsticks with a snap.

"Since you know she's my aunt, shouldn't you not embarrass my wife?"

"Nancheng...how can you confuse right and wrong? When did I ever embarrass her?"

"Second Aunt, the Lin family's affairs have nothing to do with you. Madam Lin came to borrow money from my parents, so don't worry about it. Second Aunt's hit-and-run incident just happened. I advise you to be more careful with your words and actions and be more virtuous. It won't hurt."

"You..." Xie Huailan was furious.

"That's enough. If you don't want to eat, go home. Stop yelling here. I have a headache."

The old lady's face darkened, and the whole audience fell silent.

The old lady didn't say who she was on, she just asked everyone to be quiet.

The meal was like chewing wax, and Xie Nancheng even picked up some food for Tu Ran.

But she still ate very little, just a few vegetable leaves.

After dinner, Xie Huailan and her family left first because of an unpleasant argument.

Although Xie Huaishan and his wife seemed to be fine on the surface, they had already become estranged a long time ago.

Before leaving, Yang Xin wanted to take Xie Jiatong with her.

"Tongtong, let's go home with mom."

"Mom, I don't want to leave."

Yang Xin's expression suddenly changed.

"Tongtong, don't you miss your mother?"

"I want to continue living at my grandma's house."

"Why, Tongtong?" Yang Xin forced a smile.

"Because I like grandma's house. Grandma is very nice, and my sister-in-law is also very nice to me. I like her greenhouse and the kittens. I sleep with her every day these days, and she tells me stories. It's so interesting."

Xie Jiatong kept calling her sister-in-law, which made Yang Xin feel very uncomfortable.

It was her own child, but she felt that playing well with her enemy was more painful than killing her.

"But Tongtong, if you live here, you will disturb your brother and sister-in-law. Be good and go back with your mother first. Your mother will tell you a story too."

Xie Jiatong took a few steps back and said, "No, I don't want to go back. I'm afraid of Mom and Dad arguing and fighting. It's scary. I'm scared."

"Mom promises you, I won't do that again, dear."

Xie Jiatong still refused to leave no matter what.

This caused trouble for Yang Xin, who squatted down and forcibly picked up her daughter.

"Mom, I don't want to go back."

"Mom, woooooooooo…I want to be at Grandma's."

"I want to live with my sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Yang Xin became very angry and secretly pinched the child's butt hard.

Xie Jiatong burst into tears, "Wuwuwuwu, Mommy, don't, it hurts."

"What are you doing?" Xie Huaishan stared at his wife viciously at this time.

"I'll take Tongtong home."

"Dad, I don't want to go home. I like it here. Woo woo woo."

"Didn't you see Tongtong didn't want to go back?" Xie Huaishan asked coldly.

"You can't live here forever."

"Let go of the child." Xie Huaishan was also very annoyed when he saw his daughter crying.

"No, I have to go home today."

Yang Xin felt like her daughter was taken away by someone else, and her possessiveness suddenly exploded.

The couple started fighting again in the old house.

Xie Huaishan snatched the child away and kicked Yang Xin hard without any mercy.

He kicked Yang Xin three or four meters away and she fell on the ground.

"Xie Huaishan, I'm going to fight you."

Yang Xin picked up an antique vase and threw it at Xie Huaishan.

Xie Huaishan immediately dodged and the vase shattered to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Xie's father came downstairs at this time.

"Didn't you see the child crying? What are you two doing? You'll alarm the old lady and she'll get angry again. You're already grown up, can't you just give me some peace of mind?" Father Xie looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran were on the second floor and could hear it clearly, but neither of them came downstairs.

Naturally, they don't want to get involved in matters between husband and wife.

"If you want to quarrel, go outside and don't do it here." Xie's father was also angry.

Yang Xin glanced at her daughter, turned around and ran out with tears in her eyes.

"Tongtong, you stay at grandma's house for a few more days. Dad will come pick you up after he has dealt with the matter for a while."

Xie Jiatong nodded, and her father Xie picked up his niece with heartache.

"Uncle, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, come on, let's go to the room and watch cartoons."

Xie Nancheng's parents are both kind and treat Xie Jiatong and Xie Guangyao well.

It’s a pity that the parents of the second and third rooms are unreasonable, ambitious, and cruel, making it really hard for people to like them.

Inside the master bedroom on the second floor

"Isn't your university on vacation yet?" Xie Nancheng asked casually.

"It's almost there, just two or three days." Tu Ran said.

"What are your plans for winter vacation?"

"No."

"Do you want to go on vacation?" The boss rarely asked.

"Not really."

Well, Tu Ran’s answer instantly dampened the boss’s interest.

"Eh? Tu Ran, I have a question. You're so mean to me, is it because you like that pretty boy Gu Xixing?"

As soon as Xie Nancheng finished speaking, Tu Ran turned his head and stared at him in disbelief.

"What? Did I get it right?" The boss's tone was sour as a lemon at this moment.

Key point: Like Gu Xixing? Pretty boy?
