Chapter 162: Returning a Favor

"Why are you in such a hurry? No matter how serious the matter is, shouldn't we finish our meal?"

"I don't think there's any need to eat."

Tu Ran felt that since Xie Nancheng had taken the initiative to file for divorce, they should make a quick decision.

After all, there is no emotional foundation between the two parties, so they won't feel sad.

"You sit down first, we'll eat and talk at the same time." Xie Nancheng's attitude didn't reveal anything.

"sit down."

The boss emphasized it again, and Tu Ran slowly sat down.

"The food here is good, order two."

"I can do anything."

"Hurry up, don't waste time." The boss became domineering again.

Tu Ran knew how domineering Xie Nancheng was, so he didn't want to continue to fight him and just ordered two dishes at random.

Then Xie Nancheng poured a small cup of hot tea and handed it over.

"Thanks."

Tu Ran whispered thank you and took a small sip in silence.

Xie Nancheng looked at her carefully.

It’s different from the past. Although her previous outfit was also very simple and unpretentious, at least the colors were bright.

Tu Ran likes white, light yellow and khaki.

Recently, she wore a long black down jacket.

Inside was actually a white, improved version of the new Chinese style white shirt, and the highlight was the vest outside the shirt.

The vest is pink, light pink, very fresh.

It suits Tu Ran's beautiful age very well.

The vest is exquisitely crafted, with two flying birds embroidered on each side.

Her long hair was also tied up, and a simple osmanthus hairpin was pinned at the back.

It was elegant and unique, and it stirred up ripples in the boss's heart for no reason.

At this time, Tu Ran put down the teacup and raised his head, meeting Xie Nancheng's eyes.

The boss immediately looked away and coughed lightly, "Ahem, aren't you afraid that I'll drug you? Just drink it casually?"

"Will you?" she asked.

"That's hard to say. Our relationship is already at a freezing point."

"If you don't tell me, I'll poison you and kill you."

"Xie Nancheng, could you please stop being so childish? You're talking like a child."

"What kid?

"Let me ask you, what did you say to my mother that made her so angry?"

This is purely digression and looking for trouble.

"I was working when Mom called."

"It will be very busy, I really can't answer it."

"You're working? What kind of work? You're not going to school anymore?" Xie Nancheng became more and more confused the more he listened.

"It's winter vacation already."

"I found a part-time job during the holiday, helping out at a Chinese medicine clinic. Yesterday was my first day of probation, so I didn't dare to be lazy. I really didn't want to be perfunctory to my mother." Tu Ran answered honestly.

"Are you kidding me? My Xie family can't afford to support a woman like you?"

"Let you go out to work?"

Xie Nancheng was unbelievable.

In his dictionary, there is no such thing as going out to find a job.

Even though Third Aunt Yang Xin is an actress and not good at business, she only works in her own group.

The Xie family is a top wealthy family. If people knew that their daughter-in-law went out to work, they would probably laugh their heads off.

"Xie Nancheng, your thinking is really more conservative than my grandfather's."

"What era is this?"

"Does going out to work have to be for money?"

"Or do you think I'm destined to be a housewife at home for the rest of my life? Relying on men for support?"

Tu Ran asked this question with great force, leaving the boss speechless for a moment.

"I don't mean to discriminate against women."

"I also know that you women of the new era should pursue freedom, equality, and independence."

"But...if you're looking for a job, can you come from home?"

"Our group headquarters is recruiting people every day, and there are vacancies for all positions."

"It's not like I won't give you money."

"I drive you around every day, what do you want?"

"My major is not suitable." Tu Ran said.

"I'm studying Traditional Chinese Medicine. What are you doing that's related to Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Xie Nancheng: ...

"Then you can be my personal health care physician?"

"Xie Nancheng, be serious."

"I'm serious."

At this time, the doorbell of the private room rang and the waiters served the dishes one after another.

Xie Nancheng ordered four dishes and Tu Ran ordered two vegetarian dishes.

Plus there is a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, which is very suitable for drinking in winter.

"What are you standing there for? Serve me a bowl of soup." The boss started to order his wife around.

Tu Ran didn't say anything, but still served him a bowl of soup.

"Try it and see how this ginseng tastes."

"Did this restaurant try to trick us with the ingredients?"

"This ginseng chicken soup costs me nine hundred and ninety-eight."

"Then you are really a big victim." Tu Ran blurted out.

Xie Nancheng: ...

Tu Ran saw that the dishes were already served and it would be a waste not to eat them, so he just started eating.

"What's the deal with ginseng?"

"Aren't you Chinese medicine practitioners the most knowledgeable?"

"It's OK. It's farmed ginseng, about five years old."

"But it must have been simmered for a long time, and it also contains astragalus and wolfberry, which are good for replenishing qi."

"The chicken tastes very good, so the ingredients should be fine."

"That's good. Eat more."

After his wife appraised it, the boss was extremely satisfied.

He had a very good appetite and even ate two bowls of rice.

After eating and drinking, Tu Ran mentioned again, "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"What are you going there for?"

"Isn't it a divorce?" Tu Ran was surprised.

"When did I say I was divorced?"

"Xie Nancheng, can you please stop pretending? You clearly said it last night..."

"Last night was last night, and now is now."

"Now I don't want to leave."

"It's really unreasonable." Tu Ran's face suddenly turned cold, and he stood up and left.

Seeing the person was about to leave, the boss became anxious and rushed over to hug the person from behind.

"Xie Nancheng, let me go."

"Then don't leave."

"Would you please have some shame?"

"I'm holding you because you want to save face. If you don't want to save face, I'll strip you right now."

The simple and rough words "strip you naked" made Tu Ran's face turn red from head to toe.

She was so angry that she struggled to get away, turned around and pushed Xie Nancheng hard.

"Xie Nancheng, what on earth do you want to do?"

"I don't even want to do anything. You've already treated me coldly and violently, and you're still asking me? Do you have any conscience?"

"That's also because of you..." Tu Ran stopped talking halfway.

"Because of me, what? Tell me?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Anyway, if you want a divorce, do it now."

"If you don't want a divorce, don't bother me at work."

"Let's not talk about divorce for now, and let's stop the cold war, okay?" The boss' attitude softened.

Tu Ran had a sullen face and said nothing, obviously still angry about the last time he knocked her down after drinking.

"Tu Ran, do you keep your word?"

"certainly."

"Then repay the favor you owed me before this time."

Tu Ran looked up at Xie Nancheng in shock.

"Don't tell me you forgot?"

"Then let me remind you, how did your grandfather get his ginseng back?" Xie Nancheng looked at Tu Ran with a crooked smile, full of ruffian spirit.
