Chapter 18: Tacit Understanding

Tu Ran turned around and saw Xie Nancheng's pleasing face.

It's a pity that she doesn't value these.

"You're back?" She still didn't get up.

Xie Nancheng took off his coat, casually threw it into the nanny's hands, and squatted down to pick it up with her.

"What are you buying?" Xie Nancheng knew nothing about Chinese medicine.

The Xie Group has its own private hospital, and Xie Nancheng even has his own private doctor.

As a financial genius who studied abroad, he has been exposed to Western things since he was a child.

"Some traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation."

"To replenish the body?" he asked casually.

But Tu Ran was too shy to show any respect and blushed immediately.

"no."

“It’s a sleep aid.”

"Suanzaorensis seeds with dried tangerine peel, lily bulb, gardenia, and poria."

"Mr. Zhang Zhongjing told us that if one suffers from restlessness, fatigue, and insomnia, Suanzaoren Decoction is the right solution."

"Cook some for me too. I haven't been sleeping well lately." Xie Nancheng said in a low voice.

Tu Ran nodded, picked up the Chinese medicine, stood up and went into the kitchen. To be honest, this was the first time the two of them had such a tacit understanding since they got married.

"Brother Nancheng, can you play chess with me?" Xie Guangyao walked up to him and grabbed the corner of his cousin's clothes without any hesitation.

"It's inconvenient. My eyes have just healed recently and I can't overwork myself."

"Brother, what's wrong with your eyes?" asked Xiaopang.

"Some bad guy blinded my brother's eyes."

"Ah? Who is that bad guy? Tell me, I'm going to kill him." Xiaopang said with a righteous look on his face.

At this time, Xie Huailan and his wife looked a little embarrassed, but they were still pretending to be calm.

"Those bad guys...Brother is also investigating. If he finds them, he will never let them go."

"Hmph, you dare to frame my brother? You must be tired of living. I'm going to find Ultraman Tiga and destroy them, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." As the fat boy said this, he started dancing with joy.

"Guangyao, it's time for us to go back." Xie Huailan was a little restless.

Firstly, he felt guilty, and secondly, he saw his silly son talking nonsense, and it would be bad if he continued to cause trouble.

"But we haven't eaten yet. I'm so hungry."

"Come home and eat. Mom still has work to do."

Xie Huailan and his wife hurriedly left with their son.

In the hospital ward on the other side.

When Lin Chen returned again, Lin Siyao was very dissatisfied.

"Brother, why did you let that dog go just now?"

"You don't want to seduce her because she looks like a human being now, do you?" Lin Siyao said coldly.

"There's nothing else on your mind except the affairs of men and women."

"You'd better take care of yourself. After all, you are a singer of moderate status. The news of your domestic violence has already been reported by the media. It is not good for both the Peng family and you personally. Why don't you contact your company to suppress it?" Lin Chen's face was also unhappy.

Lin Siyao wanted to continue speaking, but Lin Chen glanced at his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, come out for a moment."

"What's wrong, son?" Mother Lin has doted on Lin Chen since he was a child.

To exaggerate, it means asking for the stars without giving the moon.

After Lin Chen took over the Lin family company, it has been making losses for years, but even so, Mrs. Lin was reluctant to blame her son.

Instead, he gave all of Lin Siyao's and Tu Ran's betrothal gifts to his son to fill the hole.

"What kind of dowry did the old man of the Tu family give back then?" Lin Chen asked in the corridor.

"Isn't it in the safe at home? You saw it too. A wild ginseng is a good thing. But our family has no use for it now. Auctioning it will have a bad impact on us. It will seem as if I am really short of cash. We can find a chance to give it to some senior leaders in the city, and then they can give us some projects." This was said by Lin's father.

"Besides ginseng, is there anything else?" Lin Chen put one hand in his pocket.

"There are also some unknown medicinal herbs. This old man is really confused. How can he give medicine to others? It's so unlucky."

"Anything else?"

"No more... wait, that's not right. There seems to be a bronze wine cup. It is said that it was passed down from his ancestors. I don't know if it is a cultural relic. We dare not sell it. It is all in the safe." said Lin's father.

"The bronze cup... well, let me take a look later."

"Son, is the company in trouble again?" Mrs. Lin asked worriedly.

"No, I just felt that Tu Ran seemed to be looking for something, among that old man and our things..."

"Is that so? No way, are you overthinking it?"

"If you're really looking for something, why would you wait until now after four years?" Mrs. Lin felt that her son was overthinking.

Lin Chen smiled but didn't say anything else.

"Son, what should we do about your sister? Should we go to the Peng family to ask for accountability?" Dad Lin was also at a loss.

"Accountability? Putting aside the fact that this wasn't Peng Yuan's fault, even if we asked, would Yaoyao be able to divorce?"

"this……"

"Why ask if you're not getting a divorce? You chose your own path, so just bear with it."

Lin Chen couldn't feel any sympathy for his sister. There were four people in the Lin family, and they all had their own thoughts.

Peng Yuan, who comes from a family of real estate tycoons, is also arrogant.

He refused to accompany his wife back home after three days of visiting her parents-in-law, which proved that he looked down on the Lin family.

Lin Chen has always been a proud person who relies on his talent, and he is unwilling to put his face in the cold butt.

But the fierce battle in the ward today completely made him interested in Tu Ran.

Especially now, she is Xie Nancheng's wife...

If you can trick someone into giving you this, you can enjoy the benefits for a long time.

The Xie family has deep roots in Xiangcheng, and the resources they provide are enough to support several small companies.

Lin Chen had his own agenda and also had lustful thoughts about Tu Ran...

Xie Family Old House

When Tu Ran came, he didn't have much luggage, but he definitely didn't forget the casserole for cooking Chinese medicine.

The housekeeper Pinggu wanted to help her, but she politely declined.

I waited patiently in the kitchen for more than three hours, holding a small fan.

Then he scooped out two bowls of pitch-black medicine and brought them back to the room.

"Give."

Xie Nancheng sat up straight and looked at her.

"Is it bitter?"

"Are you a child? You're asking if it's bitter? Which Chinese medicine isn't bitter? The only one that isn't bitter is Coca-Cola."

Xie Nancheng: ...

"Tu Ran, you are becoming more and more courageous."

"If you don't want to drink, give it to me, Mr. Xie. I don't have time to argue with you."

"Yes, you spent all your time with Lin Chen."

"You followed me?" Tu Ran put down the medicine bowl angrily and glared at Xie Nancheng.

"Follow you? Do you think you're worthy? Lin Chen came to the old house to pick you up. Are you all blind? Can't you see?"

Tu Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed and really didn't react.

"Do you regret it? Do you think Lin Chen is a good person again?" He was deliberately provoking trouble.

"Lin Chen will definitely not play tricks on me, that's all." Tu Ran was deliberately angry.

He didn't know why, but whenever he saw Tu Ran's little face flushed with anger, he felt inexplicably good.

He stood up and picked up the Chinese medicine that Tu Ran had placed on the bedside table and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he frowned slightly and said, "It really doesn't taste good."

"If you don't cure this disease, don't say that I will cause trouble for you." Xie Nancheng threatened.

Tu Ran laughed in anger, "I didn't even bother asking you for money for the Chinese medicine, and you still want to make trouble for me? Mr. Xie, this isn't how you should behave, is it? There's no such thing in this world."
