Chapter 39: What excuses do you have tonight?

"No, Mother Lin, I don't think I can use it."

"That's right. I told you that Ranran doesn't need it. You're young and healthy. Why would you take any folk remedies? That's nonsense." Dad Lin glared at his wife.

Tu Ran sighed slightly. She didn't finish any of the buns in the bowl. She really had no appetite.

What she said was useless because she felt that things between her and Xie Nancheng would never get to that point.

There will be no sons and no sexual intercourse.

Once she gets what she wants, she will leave the Xie family.

So there is no need for folk remedies at all.

But the Lin couple thought that Tu Ran was relying on her youth and good health and could get pregnant without taking any medicine.

Tu Ran didn't explain too much and just responded perfunctorily.

"Of course, you have to get along well with the Xie family."

"Especially the old lady."

"I heard that the old lady of the Xie family has a lot of say."

"Yeah." Tu Ran nodded slightly.

"If you encounter anything unhappy or feel wronged, tell your mother."

"good."

While listening, Tu Ran was thinking about something in his mind.

During the last homecoming banquet, I eavesdropped on the conversation between Mrs. Lin and Lin Siyao.

During that conversation, Lin Siyao was still encouraging her parents to break up Tu Ran and Xie Nancheng's marriage.

He wanted to force her to divorce, so why did his attitude change completely during this meal?

And let her have a baby sooner?

What caused the Lins to change their attitude? This is interesting.

The meal was tasteless and Tu Ran was just going through the motions the whole time.

But in the eyes of the Lin couple, they all seem to be well-behaved.

After all, Tu Ran is a quiet person who doesn't cause trouble, so they think he is an extremely easy-to-control child.

I looked at the time on my phone and it had been over an hour.

"It's getting late. I should go back."

"I'll ask the driver to take you."

"Okay." Tu Ran didn't refuse.

"Of course, this set of skincare products was chosen for you by your mother. You can't always go without makeup. You have to learn how to take good care of your skin, so that men's attention will be on you."

"Mother Lin, I won't..."

"Take it and be obedient." Mrs. Lin forcefully stuffed the gift box into Tu Ran's hand.

She took a quick look and saw that it was a set of top-grade skin care products, which would cost around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

In the past four years, Mrs. Lin had never been so generous to her.

It's really interesting that the person who couldn't even afford to buy her a mobile phone now buys her skin care products worth tens of thousands of dollars.

"Thank you, Mother Lin."

"You're welcome. In my heart, you are just like Yaoyao and Achen."

Tu Ran smiled, turned around and walked out.

As soon as she left, Lin's father complained, "Is it necessary to give her such an expensive gift? She's from the countryside, how can she use it? It's such a waste of such a good thing."

"What do you know? If you plan to invest in her, you have to be willing to sacrifice her. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Yaoyao has been spoiled by us, and there is nothing to gain from the Peng family. We must hold on to the Xie family. Even if we get divorced in the future, as long as Tu Ran has children, we can still get a lot of family property. Think long-term, okay?"

Although Tu Ran had walked quite far away, these words still reached her ears.

Maybe it’s because he grew up in the mountains with his grandfather, or maybe it’s because he ate a lot of spiritual herbs.

Tu Ran's vision and hearing are different from those of ordinary people and are much more flexible than those of ordinary people.

Hearing this, she immediately understood the purpose of tonight's meal.

It turns out that they were paving the way for themselves... This Lin family couple really don't do anything without benefits.

I was lost in thought when I almost bumped into the person in front of me.

"Master."

Only when the driver called him "Young Master" did Tu Ran stop and look up.

Lin Chen had just returned, and he still smelled of alcohol and strong perfume.

There's that ridiculous lipstick mark on his face, and he lives a life of debauchery. This is the kind of person you're talking about, right?

"Hey, let me see, who is this?"

Lin Chen, under the influence of alcohol, slowly approached Tu Ran.

She subconsciously took two steps back.

"Isn't this Xiao Ranran?"

"I called in the morning and deliberately let Xie Nancheng answer? You wanted to use him to scare me. How could you be so despicable?" Lin Chen whispered viciously in Tu Ran's ear.

Tu Ran already disliked Lin Chen, and he was so sarcastic that he immediately exploded.

Lin Chen's weird demeanor is different from Xie Nancheng's.

Tu Ran could tell that Xie Nancheng was just joking and teasing her.

But Lin Chen was full of bad words and looked down on her.

"Cheap? Haha, can sleeping be cheaper than Master Lin? Who took the initiative to call me? And who took the initiative to add me on WeChat?"

"Come to think of it, you haven't added me yet." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in the dark.

It was obvious that she was not as bright and beautiful as Mai Yuqing and other women. She was just a little girl with no makeup on.

But Lin Chen always felt that every time he saw her, his eyes would light up.

He didn't know why he had this special feeling.

Maybe the fat that is not eaten is the most delicious?

"Why should I add you? What personal relationship do we have?"

Tu Ran had a cold face.

"How arrogant! Do you think you'll be on top of the world just by marrying into the Xie family?"

"Do you know who Xie Nancheng is?"

"Do you think he really likes you?"

"Let me tell you, there's no one in the Xiangcheng circle who isn't afraid of Xie Nancheng's methods. Women are just tools to him. For business, he can send you to someone else's bed in a matter of minutes."

Lin Chen lowered his voice and stared at Tu Ran as he spoke word by word.

"Mr. Lin has a good imagination. I suggest you submit a novel in your spare time. It will definitely become famous."

Lin Chen: ...

"I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you to use your imagination anymore. Goodbye."

Tu Ran avoided Lin Chen and walked away, not wanting to get entangled any further.

Lin Chen didn't give up and reached out to grab her shoulders.

The moment it was about to touch, I felt something prick my palm and it hurt so much.

Before I knew it, Tu Ran had already gotten into the car and left.

Lin Chen looked at the palm of his hand. It was not red or swollen, but he was still feeling a tingling sensation.

He was a little bit unbelievable and even shook his head vigorously, suspecting that he had drunk too much.

Xie Family Old House

When Tu Ran came back, there was no one in the living room, only a few servants were cleaning.

"Young Madam."

"Young Madam is back. The old lady in the kitchen left some bird's nest for you."

"No, I can't drink any more. Thank you, Aunt Ping."

Tu Ran walked to the guest bedroom where she had lived in the past few days. After entering, she did not rush to turn on the light.

Instead, she sighed tiredly, then took off her coat, followed by her base shirt.

I was so focused on what had just happened at the Lin family that I ignored the other people in the dark room.

The main reason is that the Xie family has such sophisticated security that it is impossible for outsiders to get in.

When Tu Ran was left with only her underwear, she heard a voice suddenly from the corner -

"I'm not fat where I should be fat, and I'm not thin where I should be thin. It's boring."

Tu Ran was startled and immediately pressed the switch. After seeing the man clearly, her face suddenly turned red.

"You're crazy, Xie Nancheng."

Tu Ran cursed while subconsciously crossing her hands in front of her to cover her underwear.

"Grandma's medicine has been prepared. Let me see what excuse Doctor Tu will use for not returning to the master bedroom tonight?" Xie Nancheng was only wearing a white shirt at this time. He was sitting on the single sofa in the guest bedroom, lowering his head to play with his mobile phone. His expression was leisurely and comfortable.
