Chapter 274: What a Fool

"Don't be nervous. Xie Nancheng shouldn't be investigating the matter of the beads. He seems to think that I am also helping you investigate the matter of your biological parents. So Xie Nancheng is also looking for clues to find your parents, and I heard that they have already been found."

"Biological parents? As expected." Tu Ran immediately thought of Xie Nancheng's recent abnormal behavior.

He would mention it from time to time, some surprise, some biological parents.

It turns out he was secretly investigating...

"Does he know that you are helping me?" Tu Ran asked.

"Yes, but he must have misunderstood and thought you were asking me to help you investigate your background."

"This fool." Tu Ran laughed out of anger.

But it was such an unintentional action that made Tu Ran reveal her love for Xie Nancheng.

To be honest, at this moment, Gu Xixing was jealous.

He is a modest gentleman who always acts in an upright manner.

But at this moment, I was really jealous of Xie Nancheng.

It is not easy to get Tu Ran's favor.

"He probably found someone."

"I haven't told you yet."

Looking at Tu Ran's reaction, Gu Xixing knew that he didn't know what Xie Nancheng had done.

"I really don't know."

“But he tried.”

"Then you should be happy. No matter what, it's all for you." Gu Xixing said with some bitterness.

"I can't say I'm happy. Over the years, I've given up hope for anything else happening to my parents. If they truly loved me, why haven't they sent me any messages? They've probably given up looking for me, but I can't understand it."

"Don't say that. Every parent loves their children."

"You are so good, your parents must love you deeply."

Tu Ran chuckled and said nothing.

"Speaking of this, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Tu Ran suddenly thought of what Xie Nancheng had told her.

"good."

"No matter who frames me or what happens next, don't intervene to help me get revenge. The Xie family's internal strife is very deep. It's not something outsiders can imagine, and you shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."

"Tu Ran..."

"I guess you knew about the hunt we had on New Year's Eve, so that's why you helped me."

"But we can handle it, and you don't need to drag yourself down with it."

"Okay, I'm meddling." Gu Xixing felt a little sad.

"That's not what I meant. I just don't want my friends to be implicated by this. I'm the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, so I'm involved in this. But you shouldn't get involved. There's no need. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Afterwards, the two of them finished eating the dumplings and went their separate ways without much conversation.

That afternoon, a piece of news broke out in Xiangcheng, like a bolt from the blue.

It quickly became a hot topic and made headlines in local news.

Subsequently, many news media rushed to report on it.

A video of more than ten seconds was exposed, and the video footage was very clear.

In the video, Xie Huailan, wearing home clothes and with a big body, was beating an old lady with a mop.

And this old lady was none other than her mother-in-law, Zhao Hui's mother.

Because Zhao Hui married into the Xie family, he didn't have much ability.

Relying on flattery to coax others to get to the top.

In fact, Xie Huailan had quite a few romantic affairs when she was young, and Zhao Hui was just a bed partner.

The reason why we were able to get married was because I had a child with him.

Xie Huailan thought that if she gave birth to a child as soon as possible, she would get a larger share of the family property after the old lady died.

She had just married Zhao Hui, and Zhao Hui was really afraid of his wife, very afraid of her.

Xie Huailan is the queen at home. If she doesn't like you, she will either beat or scold you. No matter who you are, the nanny will often be beaten.

When the person in the video was revealed to be Xie Huailan's mother-in-law, the whole audience was shocked.

It turned out that Old Mrs. Zhao didn't live with them.

Later, the old man passed away, and Zhao Hui was reluctant to hire a nanny alone, so he discussed with Xie Huailan to take the child back.

Anyway, there are plenty of rooms in the villa at home.

Xie Huailan's family also has a nanny who can take care of her together without spending a penny extra.

But not long after arriving, Mrs. Zhao fell ill.

The couple didn't send the child to the hospital, but just asked their family doctor to give him an injection.

But the old lady did not get better and even started urinating and defecating anywhere.

This made Xie Huailan dislike her very much, and she would beat her up to vent her anger at any time.

As Zhao Hui's biological son, he also kept silent.

Even Xie Guangyao sometimes joined his mother in beating his grandmother, but the child naturally didn't understand what was going on.

Moreover, Xie Guangyao's IQ is much lower than that of ordinary children.

So after this video was exposed, it caused an uproar.

Regardless of the north or south, filial piety has been respected in China for thousands of years.

Filial piety to parents is a tradition, not to mention that Old Mrs. Zhao treats them well.

When they were young, they worked hard with the old man to earn money to support Zhao Hui's college education, which led to their current glory and success.

I didn't expect this would be the end of my life when I get old.

In the video, Xie Huailan took a mop and beat the old lady violently.

He beat her and scolded her, "You old thing, why don't you die? You are really causing us trouble by being alive."

"I'll beat you to death, it's so fucking infuriating."

The old lady was already suffering from some cerebellar atrophy, so she was stupid and dazed, and just cried without saying anything.

Anyone who watches this video will probably be angry.

So it quickly became a hot topic and netizens were excited in the comment section.

——Damn, what a beast! This woman is so vicious.

——If a daughter-in-law hits her mother-in-law, isn’t she really afraid of being struck by lightning?

——I won’t comment without knowing the full story.

Replying to the above, you are pretending to be your mother here, didn’t you see the old lady being beaten?

——Maybe the old lady was not nice to her when she was young.

——Bullshit, do you have to beat your parents if they treat you badly? Your mother treats you badly, so you kill her?

——This woman seems to be a senior executive of Shengshi Group. Oh my God, she seems to be a member of the Xie family.

——Is this true? Is it from the Xie family?

——The Xie family is very rich, they shouldn’t be unable to support an old lady, right? That’s outrageous.

——But I heard that Xie Huailan’s husband is a son-in-law and his family doesn’t have much money.

——Sure enough, it is difficult to be a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family. The man is also a coward. If my wife beats my mother, I will definitely not let her go. I would rather divorce her.

——Such a wealthy family still abuses the elderly. Oh my God, don’t the police do anything about it?

In an instant, the video of Xie Huailan beating her mother-in-law spread to the point where it was known to media outlets across the country.

The local media fermented the news even more, and the rumors became more and more mysterious.

Everyone in the Xie family’s old house was furious.

The old lady of the Xie family felt humiliated and felt that her own daughter was indeed doing something inhumane.

Tu Ran received a call, it was from Xie's father.

Because of his status, he rarely calls his daughter-in-law.

Tu Ran: Dad?

Dad Xie: Ranran, where are you?

Tu Ran: I just came back from school and am about to go back to Tianyi Pavilion, Dad.

Dad Xie: Have you read the news?

Tu Ran: About my second aunt? I saw it on the news.
