Chapter 380: Heart for Heart

The fact that Wei Ming was able to pass the note to her was enough to prove that he was not really a bad person.

Instead, he was lurking beside Xie Huailan and passing messages to her.

This silly boy...

She had reminded him that this wasn't necessary.

A ruthless person like Xie Huailan, once he finds out that Wei Ming has betrayed him, who knows how he will torture him?

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Wanjun came closer.

"Wanjun, I've been feeling like something is spying on me in my rooftop garden lately."

"oh?"

“But when I turned around, I couldn’t see it.”

"So you mean...something invisible to the naked eye?"

Tu Ran nodded. "Do you have any way to help me find some clues?"

"Yes, this is for you." Mu Wanjun took out a small piece of glue from the small cloth bag she carried with her.

"Glue?" Tu Ran was stunned.

"Sister, this is not ordinary glue. It is specially made with our family's unique secret recipe."

“You can stick to things that some people can’t see with the naked eye, but just don’t scare them.”

"If it does get stuck, notify me immediately and I'll come over and help you deal with it."

"Okay." Tu Ran carefully put away the glue.

"After school, do you still go to the clinic?"

Just as Tu Ran was about to answer, his phone rang.

Tu Ran: Hello?

On the other side: Madam? I’m Pinggu. I have something I want to tell you in person. Is it convenient for you to meet me?

Tu Ran thought of the note Wei Ming had just given him, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Did something happen to the old lady?

Not long after receiving the call, Tu Ran went to see Pinggu.

Pinggu and Qiujie are both from the old house, or to be more precise, the old lady's people.

Sister Qiu is younger than Aunt Ping. She is particularly fond of Xie Nancheng and is also friendly to Tu Ran.

Inside the teahouse

"Young Madam, this is what the old lady asked me to give you."

As she spoke, Pinggu handed over a brocade box.

Tu Ran slowly opened it and saw the dazzling Australian white pearls at a glance.

"Grandma, why did you suddenly send me something? I don't need it."

"Young Madam, this is given by the old lady, so you'd better not refuse it, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining it when we return."

Tu Ran remained silent, picked up the teacup and drank the tea in small sips.

"The old lady misses you very much, young lady."

"Since you got married, you should have been able to see how much the old lady loves you."

"Auntie Ping, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all family, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Ping Gu sighed slightly, "The old lady actually feels sorry for you after that incident, but she is the elder and can't lower herself to apologize to you."

"I don't need grandma to apologize, grandma did nothing wrong."

"If I were your grandmother, I would make the same choice." Tu Ran said calmly.

You can tell from her eyes that she is not saying anything polite, she is thinking this way, with sincerity in her eyes.

Ping Gu nodded in appreciation. "I believe what you said, Madam. I also advised you in the same way, but the old lady still felt bad about it and asked me to give it to you, saying that it would be suitable for you young ladies to carry."

"Is grandma okay?"

"Is the cough still coming back?"

"Nothing. The young lady's medicine is very effective, and the old lady is in good health, but..."

Seeing that Pinggu seemed to be hesitant to speak, I knew there was something to come.

"Just what?" Tu Ran asked.

"It's just that the atmosphere in the old house is very depressing," said Pinggu.

Tu Ran put down the teacup and said quietly, "How do you suppress it?"

"Young Master and Young Madam Nancheng are not at home. Madam is brainwashed by her goddaughter all day and doesn't care about the old man. I don't know what the old man is busy with recently. He doesn't come home for dinner every day. Their relationship is visibly stagnant. The second young lady comes home occasionally, but she doesn't say anything nice, which annoys the old lady."

"As for the Third Master, I believe you, Madam, have also seen today's news."

"We didn't dare tell the old lady about the news, for fear that she would get angry."

"Is Tongtong still in the old house?" Tu Ran asked.

"She's gone. Miss Tongtong hasn't come for a while. Third Master has been taking care of her himself. But even though he calls her, she's actually being taken care of by a nanny. The old lady misses Miss Tongtong quite a bit. But Third Master called her several times, and he just gave her a perfunctory response. I don't know what he's doing."

Tu Ran just listened quietly without expressing any opinion.

"The old lady is thinking about the young lady, so please don't hold a grudge against the old lady because of that incident."

"Auntie Ping, you're being too serious. I'm not the type of person who would overthrow everyone just because they do me one wrong. I remember all the times grandma protected and favored me."

"Actually, I was the one who was wrong in that matter. I shouldn't have been so stubborn and directly rejected the elders. I made my grandmother sad and caused a conflict between my parents-in-law."

"But... I really can't pretend to be sensible. Xie Nancheng and I also had conflicts during that time, so I was really considering breaking up at that time. I didn't mean to go against grandma."

Ping Gu spoke immediately, "Young Madam, please don't divorce me. I've been in the Xie family for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen Young Master Nancheng so attentive to a girl. He really likes you, but he just doesn't know how to express it. The old lady said, just discipline him, it's okay."

"Grandma, I received your kindness. Thank you for me."

"When I have time, I will go back to see her," said Tu Ran.

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Ping Gu slowly stood up and said, "Young Madam, please remember to go back and visit the old man often. The old man is very lonely."

"I know, and thank you, Aunt Ping."

"Why thank me? I'm just a servant who delivers messages. Madam, please don't embarrass me."

Afterwards, Pinggu got into the Audi A8 at the old house and the driver drove away.

Tu Ran supported his chin with one hand and was in no hurry to leave.

Instead, he drank the remaining tea slowly.

They say that a person’s heart is rewarded with a kind of kindness, and this is true.

The old lady is so good to me, so I must not be too bad. It seems that I should find time to go back and see her.

But because her mother-in-law found it difficult to tolerate her now, Tu Ran felt that it would not be appropriate to go back and cause her trouble.

Why not find an opportunity to invite the old lady to have dinner at Tianyi Pavilion?

At this time, a notification sound came from WeChat, indicating that a new friend added her.

Looking at the WeChat name, there is only one word - Huan.

Somehow, the person that immediately came to Tu Ran's mind was Gu Xixing's sister, Gu Huan.

After much hesitation, she didn't add it.

Unexpectedly, the girl was quite persistent and added me again with a few words attached - Add me, I have something to tell you.

Tu Ran then pressed the verification button.

Gu Huan: Sister Tu Ran, I’m sorry to bother you again.

The little girl's attitude was different from before. At first, she believed Wu Yue's provocation and was hostile to Tu Ran.

Now I believe what I see with my own eyes.

Tu Ran: Miss Gu, what’s the matter?

Gu Huan: Something happened to my brother.

Tu Ran was shocked: "Huh? What happened to your brother? What happened?"
