Chapter 249: Clarity

"Dad? Why did you hit me?"

"Shut up, you've brought shame to my Lin family."

"Dad, seriously, I'm the victim. This was all a plot. It's really Tu..." When Lin Siyao saw that Xie Nancheng was among the first row of onlookers, she stopped talking abruptly.

Because Xie Nancheng's eyes were extremely cold, under this deterrent effect, she absolutely did not dare to continue talking nonsense.

Moreover, this matter was planned by her in the first place, so even if she throws mud at her now, it won't stand up and no one will believe it.

Because of Lin Siyao’s commotion, all the exciting programs scheduled for the Lin family dinner were cancelled.

Lin Chen also has to save face, mainly the face of his father-in-law's family.

Old man Guo looked very unhappy. He scolded the Lin father and son and left in disappointment.

Mrs. Lin was also sent to the hospital for a physical examination.

It was clearly a grand dinner, but it ended in a hurry.

But Lin Siyao had indeed lost all her face.

Although she has always had a bad reputation, she had married into a wealthy family before.

This happened at her brother's wedding banquet. No rich man would dare to have anything to do with her in the future.

There were even rumors that the Peng family was taking revenge on her this time.

Incidentally, some tabloids even wrote some eye-catching soft articles, which roughly said that Lin Siyao once slept with a lawyer to win her divorce case, saving a lot of legal fees. She also couldn't bear the loneliness and loved to hang out in nightclubs, playing sister-brother relationships with some younger men. In short, this woman from the Lin family was completely tainted.

Xie Nancheng looked around but couldn't find Tu Ran, so he quickly picked up his phone and called him.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Wife, are you okay?" The boss was still very worried.

"I'm fine."

"Where are you?"

"I'm on the first floor." Tu Ran said.

"I'll go down and find you."

Xie Nancheng hurried downstairs and met Zhou Han again at the elevator door.

She pretended to be worried and asked, "Senior Nancheng, how is it? There were so many people just now that I couldn't squeeze in. Is your wife okay?"

"She's fine."

"Hey, I'm glad you're okay. I was scared to death."

"I really found something wrong and told you right away."

"Thank goodness, Madam Xie is fine."

Xie Nancheng's eyes were a little complicated, although he knew that Zhou Han was not a good person.

But this time, it was someone who told me on his own initiative, and no matter what my reason was, I couldn't help but be grateful.

"Thank you this time."

"No, no, you're welcome. It's just a small favor."

"This is the business card of my assistant Xu Xin. If you have any needs, tell him and he will satisfy you." The boss generously handed over his assistant's business card.

In Xie Nancheng's dictionary, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

It is the boss’ principle to rather spend money than owe favors to others.

Because money can be earned at any time, but favors are hard to repay.

"Senior Nancheng, there's really no need."

"I really just want to help you, without asking for anything in return. Although I'm not familiar with Madam Xie, I went to the same high school as you, and I can't bear to see you get into trouble."

What a white lotus! She knows how to judge the scale very well.

This is not the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing is that Xie Nancheng didn’t say anything.

The woman continued, "Come to think of it, it was my fault for what I did earlier. I took the bag my aunt gave me and showed it off on WeChat Moments. It was all just girlish vanity. Senior Nancheng, you have a bad temper, and it's well known. But you didn't blame me, so helping you with this little favor isn't a big deal."

Putting it this way, it seems as if Xie Nancheng was not loyal enough before and made such a fuss just for her circle of friends.

Xie Nancheng did not blame her for showing off the bag, but directly called her brother Zhou Yun.

And he bought a lot of things for me without any pampering.

But now that this girl was speaking so magnanimously of Xie Nancheng, he didn't know how to respond.

"Please keep the business card."

Xie Nancheng had no intention of getting entangled with her, he just wanted to see his wife immediately.

So he stuffed the humble business card into Zhou Han's hand.

Looking at Xie Nancheng's departing back, Zhou Han held the business card and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Lin Siyao is really an idiot."

"It seems that the orphan girl is not easy to deal with. The one who can make someone like Xie Nancheng obsessed with her must not be a silly and innocent girl. How can there be so many silly and naive people? This Tu Ran is probably also a high-level white lotus." Zhou Han analyzed in his mind. It seems that the opponent is a bit difficult to deal with. He can only take it slowly and fight a protracted war.

First floor of the hotel

After Tu Ran came out of the secret door, he went down the fire escape directly in order not to attract attention.

After Gu Xixing found out that he had left, he sent him a WeChat message and looked for an opportunity to meet him.

"Tu Ran, I only found some clues."

"I don't dare tell you too early, for fear that you will be disappointed."

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared." Tu Ran looked calm.

"Well, once my people find the courier who handled the matter back then, I'll have a follow-up. I'll tell you then."

"Okay, but don't talk about this kind of thing on WeChat or over the phone in the future. I don't want anyone else to know about it except you and me. Let's talk about everything in person." Tu Ran was extremely cautious.

"It seems that this thing is really important to you."

Seeing how much Tu Ran valued this thing, Gu Xixing also had an idea in his mind and did not dare to be careless.

"That's something my grandfather left me, and I hope it can be returned to me."

"Grandpa is my only relative in the world. Everything he has means a lot to me."

Tu Ran explained simply.

"I understand." Gu Xixing nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Thank you, aren't we friends?"

Tu Ran lowered his head and calculated the time, feeling that Xie Nancheng would soon come to find him.

I quickly said, "I'm going to the door first. See you later."

"Okay, take care of yourself. You look a little tired today."

Gu Xixing looked at Tu Ran gently from beginning to end.

Although she was wearing a stunning little dress today and also had makeup on.

It is really good-looking, but the fatigue between the eyebrows is indeed obvious.

She had just returned from Phoenix Ridge and really needed a good rest.

"Okay, you too." Tu Ran used the word "you" to indirectly increase the distance between himself and Gu Xixing.

Gu Xixing felt a little lost, but tried his best to hide his feelings.

All he could do now was not to put her under mental pressure and to protect her.

"Wife, what happened just now?"

"Are you referring to Lin Siyao?" Tu Ran asked back.

Xie Nancheng nodded, but did not tell him what Zhou Han told him.

"Lin Siyao was planning to set me up, but I sensed it and took action in advance."

"She replaced the place that was originally mine."

Xie Nancheng was furious, "Damn, this rubbish, I'm going to kill her."

When the boss thought about how Tu Ran almost got ruined, he immediately became furious.

He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could go back and kill all the members of the Lin family.

"Okay, don't be impulsive."

"You want to make the news?"

"Besides, I'm fine now, aren't I?" Tu Ran had to hug Xie Nancheng from behind in desperation.

When outsiders saw this scene, they thought they were flirting.

After being hugged by Tu Ran, the boss suddenly felt very soft-hearted.

He turned around, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Come on, let's go home."

On the other side, Guo Yonghai blocked Yang Xin in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall.

"Xin'er."

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to leave Xiangcheng?" Yang Xin felt a little annoyed when she saw this man.

"Xin'er, Xie Huailan hired someone to do something in the mountains. What happened?"

"It didn't work." Yang Xin was a little disappointed.

"Does Xie Huailan have influence in the mountain valley? Is this just her doing?"

"It's definitely not her this time, it's someone else." Yang Xin said in a low voice.

"Oh? Who? Who else wants to deal with Xie Nancheng?" Guo Yonghai seemed very interested.
