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 3: In his heart, he was directly deified
To be fair, Tu Ran is indeed not as pretty as Lin Siyao, and Mrs. Xie did say this.
But no matter what, you can't say it in front of the bride, right?
Mrs. Xie was suddenly embarrassed. "No, Xiaoran is also a good-looking child. They are all good-looking."
"Enough, it's so early in the morning, aren't you elders ashamed of yourself? The younger generation is offering tea, just take the red envelopes obediently, why are you talking so much nonsense?" In the end, it was the old lady who got angry.
Because the old lady only loves her grandson, and as long as her grandson is happy, she doesn't mind marrying anyone.
The old lady of the Xie family looked at Tu Ran with a smile, "Ran Ran is a good child, with a round face. He is blessed and I like him."
"Here, take it, grandma gave it to you." Mrs. Xie handed over a big red envelope.
Tu Ran subconsciously glanced at Xie Nancheng. He didn't say anything, so Tu Ran accepted it naturally. "Thank you, grandma."
With the old lady's support, no one dared to act rashly. Then, Xie Nancheng's parents, uncle, aunt, and cousin all expressed their opinions.
The Xie family was relatively easier to get along with than the Lin family. Everyone chatted during breakfast. No one made trouble for Tu Ran, the newlywed daughter-in-law, and no one deliberately caused trouble. At least on the surface, everything was harmonious.
After dinner, Xie Nancheng went out.
Tu Ran didn't sleep well, so he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
When I woke up again, he was already back.
Still sitting on the sofa, not saying a word.
"You're back?"
"This is for you, open it and take a look." Xie Nancheng pointed to a pile of exquisite packaging bags on the ground.
"What is that?" she asked curiously.
"Clothes, cell phone, bag."
Tu Ran was surprised and was about to ask him why he gave these.
I heard the man complain, "What era is it now? You don't even have a cell phone."
"I don't go to school and I don't have any friends, so there's no use for me having a cell phone." She lowered her head.
"You said the Lin family treated you badly, they raised you for four years."
"They say the Lin family treats you well, but they don't even buy you a cell phone or decent clothes."
Tu Ran remained silent because what Xie Nancheng said was the truth.
You're saying that the Lin family treated her badly, but that's not the case. At least she lived a peaceful and stable life for the past four years, and no one gave her any trouble. The main reason was that she had no sense of existence, and sometimes she even ate with the nanny at home.
Although the Lin family treated her well, they didn't even send her to school. Even to outsiders, no one knew that the Lin family had an adopted daughter. If Xie Nancheng hadn't gone blind this time, Lin Siyao would not have been willing to marry him.
Really, Xie Nancheng had never noticed that the Lin family had a little girl who had been raised for four years.
Although he still didn't know what the girl looked like, at least judging from her voice, she shouldn't be ugly.
"Why are you giving me something?" she suddenly asked.
"Because I'm afraid you'll embarrass me."
Tu Ran: ...
"My wife shouldn't be so shabby. You can use it. It at least matches your current status."
"Thank you." She wasn't a very noble person. There was no reason for her to refuse something someone bought for her.
Tu Ran walked over, squatted on the ground, and carefully took out each item one by one.
Especially this phone, it is the latest pink color, a girly pink.
No little girl can escape this color. If Xie Nancheng was not blind, he would definitely see her eyes light up.
The remaining clothes and brand-name bags did not bring much surprise.
Before Tu Ran was eighteen years old, he lived with his grandfather in the deep mountains and forests.
Therefore, I am not interested in these material things and luxury goods.
The only thing she has always wanted is a mobile phone.
In fact, Lin’s father had mentioned before that he wanted to give her his old model.
But I don’t know if Mother Lin was jealous or something, but she said that she had no friends and didn’t work, so she couldn’t use it.
The matter was left unresolved, but there was an embarrassing thing to say. Although she had enough food and drink in the Lin family during the past four years, she was really short of money. She couldn't go out and find a job without the Lin family's knowledge. Even without her academic qualifications, it was difficult for her to find a job.
I can’t even carry my favorite herbs with me.
Tu Ran picked up the phone, feeling a little excited. He held it in both hands and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Let me ask you, if the poison I'm in is methanol, do you have a way to detoxify it?"
Tu Ran slowly turned around and looked at Xie Nancheng.
As expected, there is no free lunch in the world. She wondered why the man was so kind as to give her a cell phone and a bag.
She said slowly, "The doctor told you that the damage caused by methanol poisoning to the human body is irreversible, right?"
"Yes," he admitted.
I went to my own private hospital today and consulted several authoritative doctors for diagnosis.
Although the examination showed signs of methanol poisoning, they all said that the damage caused by methanol to the eyes is irreversible.
Xie Nancheng was in a very agitated mood today. After he came back, he waited in the room for Tu Ran to wake up.
He vaguely felt that perhaps the woman in front of him could bring him his last glimmer of hope.
"So, the poison you were poisoned with was methanol, right?"
"right."
"Xie Nancheng, I have never conducted clinical trials. Everything I learned was from my grandfather. I have never helped anyone detoxify this poison before you, but if you are willing to trust me, I can give it a try." She spoke seriously, every word clearly.
"How sure are you?" the man asked calmly.
"Not sure."
"Not sure?" Xie Nancheng's heart sank when he heard her say that.
Because those quack doctors couldn't do anything, he came to her with the last glimmer of hope. Now she says there's nothing she can do?
"No, I won't promise to restore your sight, but I can try."
"Then I'll be the test subject?"
"That's what happened." Tu Ran answered calmly.
Xie Nancheng suddenly lost his temper and slammed his phone to the ground. "Tu Ran, you're so brave! Do you believe I can kill you right now?"
"Mr. Xie, I wasn't the one who poisoned you, nor was I the one who caused the car accident. I feel it's necessary to remind you of this objective fact."
In an instant, the air froze again.
Xie Nancheng is a loner, arrogant, irritable, and even violent by nature.
Tu Ran was born with a stable mood, he never experienced extreme joy or sorrow, and he could even always remain calm in times of crisis.
They are obviously completely different people, but because of fate, they have to meet.
"If I fail, will I be in danger?" I don't know how Xie Nancheng convinced himself, but his tone softened.
"Of course not. At most, you will still not be able to see it, and the status quo will remain."
"Then there's nothing to say. Just do it. The sooner the better."
During the week he became blind, all the good temper he had was worn away, and he would lose his temper at the slightest provocation.
So now I just want to get better quickly and restore my eyesight, otherwise it will be really inconvenient for me to do anything.
"I need some herbs." Tu Ran said.
"You write it on the list and I'll find someone to buy it."
“You can’t buy it.”
"What do you mean? Are you kidding me?" The man frowned again.
"No, the herbs I need are in the mountains. They're all unknown weeds, and I can't describe them in detail. So if it's convenient for you, why don't you just send someone back and I'll make them myself? I also have some medicine-making tools in my old house, which would be even more convenient and save me trouble."
"Okay, let's go now."
So, on the second day after the couple's wedding, Xie Nancheng used the excuse of taking his wife on vacation and the two of them left Hong Kong.
Xiangcheng is only more than 100 kilometers away from Tu Ran’s hometown, Fenghuangling, but no one expected that when they returned on the third day, Xie Nancheng’s eyes had recovered.
I remember that night in the thatched hut in Fenghuangling, more than ten minutes after Xie Nancheng took the antidote, the moment he slowly opened his eyes... the world became bright.
"How is it? Can you see it?" Tu Ran carefully stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of him.
Xie Nancheng pulled her over and pulled her into his arms.
Their eyes met, and at this moment, the little girl in front of him was completely deified in Xie Nancheng's heart.
"Xie Nancheng, you can see it, right?" Tu Ran couldn't suppress his excitement when he realized that he had regained his sight.
