Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 269: Can you hope for me to be well?
"Do you think you have the right to say that? Aren't there enough women who betrayed me? Would I be short of her?"
"Besides, Jin Yu is younger than you and has a better figure than you, so it's not a loss for me." Xie Huaishan laughed sarcastically and then slammed the door and left. Yang Xin sat on the ground and cried angrily.
She is no longer qualified to join the group. The former Phoenix Director Yang is now nothing but a stray dog.
Guo Yonghai also showed his true colors and kept asking for money. Yang Xin felt that she was too stupid.
Xie Family Old House
“Sister-in-law, I don’t like the aunt who came to pick me up today.”
Tu Ran didn't know how to respond to the child.
"Aunt Jin Yu is very beautiful, but I don't like her. I still like my sister-in-law. Can you pick me up from school tomorrow?"
"Aunt Jin Yu?" Tu Ran was stunned and immediately thought of Jin Yu being transferred to Xie Huaishan's side.
"Well, she's my dad's assistant. This auntie is very nice to me, but I just can't like her in my heart. I don't know why. My sister-in-law is still better." Xie Jiatong chatted while playing, and the child spoke without restraint.
Tu Ran didn't say much. After a while, Xie Huaishan came and the old house started to eat.
"What about Nancheng?" Xie Huaishan asked casually.
"He won't come back for dinner. He has a social engagement outside." Tu Ran said.
"I know. Nancheng called me and said there was a cocktail party." said the old lady.
"I heard that Lu Zhiang is back." Xie Huaishan said.
The old lady was stunned. "The Lu family, are you back?"
"It should be only Lu Zhiang. I'm not sure either. I heard it from others. Nancheng never tells us about this kind of thing. He's so mysterious." Xie Huaishan smiled.
Tu Ran was very angry because his uncle always talked about these things behind his back.
So he deliberately asked, "Tongtong said that it was Aunt Jin Yu who picked her up today. Is that the Jin Yu from the company?"
Mrs. Xie's expression suddenly changed, "Isn't Jin Yu the female secretary of Nancheng?"
Xie Huaishan was a little embarrassed. "Ah, it's been a long time since then. Nancheng transferred her to the Human Resources Department. But she wasn't very happy with her job, so she applied to be transferred to our department. I happened to have a meeting today, so I asked her to pick up Tongtong for me."
"Where is your sister-in-law?" Mrs. Xie asked relentlessly.
"Yang Xin hasn't been in good shape lately. She's taken a lot of psychiatric medication. I'm worried about her driving."
"Is mom still not well?" Xie Jiatong glanced at her father.
"Well, it's almost healed, don't worry, Tongtong."
"Does Nancheng know that Jin Yu went to your place?" This was asked by Xie's father.
"Of course, big brother, this kind of thing requires Nancheng's signature in the end. I don't have that much authority anymore. I can only hire people after Nancheng nods." Xie Huaishan disguised himself very well.
But it can be seen that Xie Nancheng's parents are very unhappy.
They don't think that Xie Huaishan's transfer of Jin Yu was a coincidence; he must have ulterior motives.
"A harmonious family is the key to success. I'm old, but you guys should be more friendly to each other, otherwise you'll be laughed at by outsiders." The old lady didn't get involved in the group's affairs, but she nodded anyway.
The topic ends here.
Tu Ran took the initiative to bring up Jin Yu's matter, which made the atmosphere in the old house a little heavy.
Xie Huaishan was holding his breath, and before leaving, he deliberately said, "It seems that the Zhou family is behind Nancheng's cocktail party tonight. The girl from the Zhou family and Nancheng have jointly developed a jewelry line, and they've been getting close lately. Ranran, you better be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle San."
"Zhou Han's family background is very prominent. The Zhou family is very wealthy and is a very suitable partner for us."
"Of course, you are Nancheng's wife. Even if your family background is not good, Nancheng has never despised you. But you must seize the opportunity yourself, otherwise, it will be embarrassing if there are problems in the marriage."
"Uncle San, you should deal with your marriage situation first. I really don't dare to learn from your experience."
Tu Ran didn't tolerate it and directly retorted.
I thought to myself, you are getting a divorce and your woman is cheating on you, and you still want to teach me?
Xie Huaishan was retorted and his face turned dark. He left with his daughter.
Tu Ranze received a call from Mu Wanjun, asking him to find a Western restaurant to sit for a while.
The reason was that Dong Xue had returned and school was about to start. After she returned, Dong Xue sent them a WeChat message saying she had brought them some local specialties.
Mu Wanjun arranged to treat Tu Ran to a meal. Although Tu Ran was full, he still drove to the banquet.
The location is a newly opened Spanish restaurant near Mu Wanjun's home, and the overall decoration is very stylish.
The average consumption per person was also over 800. Dong Xue looked around curiously and took a lot of photos.
"To be honest, if you hadn't brought me here, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford to eat at such a high-end place in my life."
"The starting cost for three people is 2,400 yuan, which is really outrageous. It's equivalent to more than a month's salary."
"That's not an exaggeration. You will be rich in the future." Mu Wanjun is a talkative person.
Dong Xue immediately took out the prepared local specialties and shared them with the two of them.
"Please don't despise me, these are chickens my mother raised herself."
"Clean everything up and keep it in the freezer, but eat it as soon as possible."
“We also make some bacon and sausages ourselves.”
"The little glass bottle contains salted goose eggs that my mother made herself."
"Thank you, Xiaoxue." Tu Ran accepted this calmly because she knew it was a friend's kindness.
"Don't say that, I'm embarrassed to take it out."
"You guys always treat me to dinner."
"Someone usually bullies me, but you still stand up for me."
"To be honest, after meeting you guys, it seems like no one bullies me anymore. Haha, my mom even said I've become much more confident now."
At this time, the ordered steaks and salads came up one after another.
Mu Wanjun glanced at Tu Ran and asked, "Did you meet anyone today?"
"Ah?" Tu Ran hadn't reacted yet.
"I'm going to take a picture over there, you guys wait for me." Dong Xue picked up her phone and went to the restaurant's viewing area.
Mu Wanjun took the opportunity to ask, "Have you seen anything unclean recently?"
"No."
"There's something evil about you."
"Is it true?" Tu Ran felt a little uneasy after hearing what she said.
"You take this."
Mu Wanjun casually took out a red bead from her bag and handed it to Tu Ran.
"My grandma made these little sugar balls, but they're not for eating."
"If you encounter something recently, just throw it at it. It will beat you half to death at least."
"So weird?" Tu Ran picked it up and looked at it carefully.
"It contains a high content of cinnabar and black dog blood, and it's also blessed by my grandma's own spell. Don't worry about using it. A low-level ghost will be useless if it touches the small sugar pill."
Tu Ran remained silent, but quietly put away his things.
"You don't think I'm superstitious, do you?"
"Of course not."
"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Mu Wanjun asked with a smile.
"not yet."
"Well, you're about to get pregnant."
Tu Ran: ...
"Sister, can you please hope for me to be well?"
Tu Ran glared at Mu Wanjun.
Mu Wanjun smiled but said nothing. When Dong Xue came back, they tacitly stopped talking about these topics.
After the show, Mu Wanjun drove Dong Xue back to the school dormitory.
Tu Ran drove directly back to Tianyi Pavilion.
As soon as I got off the car, Mu Wanjun called.
Mu Wanjun: Tu Tu... I've been thinking about it and I feel like there's something I should tell you.
Tu Ran: Is it Lu Zhiang?
Mu Wanjun: Are you a god? You actually know what I'm going to say?
