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 429: People under the eaves have to bow their heads
Xie Nancheng: I would like to invite your classmates to dinner tonight. Is that convenient?
Tu Ran: Is there something wrong?
Xie Nancheng: Indeed, I heard from Lao Lu that A Yao saw him and Mu Wanjun meeting, and also knew about their previous acquaintance.
Tu Ran: So?
Xie Nancheng: So I thought of organizing a gathering and letting everyone sit down and chat.
Tu Ran hesitated slightly: Is this necessary?
Xie Nancheng: I asked Lao Lu and A Yao, and they both had no objection.
Tu Ran: Okay, then I’ll ask Wanjun. If she agrees, I’ll go.
Xie Nancheng: Sure, honey, what do you want to eat?
Tu Ran: Let’s eat hot pot. Wanjun likes hot pot.
Xie Nancheng: I understand. I’ll make the arrangements.
Tu Ran: Yeah.
Xie Nancheng: Do you need me to pick you up in the evening?
Tu Ran: No need, I will drive to pick up Wanjun and then go over. Just give me the address.
Xie Nancheng: Wife, you are so nice.
Tu Ran: ...
She obviously didn't do anything, okay? Xie Nancheng was really hard to lick.
Tu Ran: I have to continue my work, let’s talk about it tonight.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, wife, then you go ahead and get busy.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Xiu suddenly said, "Doctor Tu, I hope you can be more professional. After all, I am not unwilling to pay."
"What do you mean?" Tu Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.
"You were giving me the injection halfway when you answered the phone, wasting so much time. Is that okay with you?"
"Or are you so indifferent to all patients?"
"If you can't leave your husband, just go home and be a housewife instead of coming out to treat patients and save lives."
"You seem to be meddling in a lot of things. I'm talking to my husband on the phone. Does that bother you?"
"You were giving me an injection halfway and you just answered the phone? Do you think it's a problem?" Nie Xiu may have never said so many words in his life. He was really angry today.
The main reason was that Tu Ran’s phone call was quite loud, and he heard almost every word of the conversation just now.
Nie Xiu had never been in love, and he couldn't understand the sweet and mushy love between men and women, and even felt a little disgusted.
So Tu Ran's phone call stimulated this guy's rebellious nature.
Tu Ran didn't indulge him, and his face turned cold, "Mr. Shen."
"My last name isn't Shen." A certain big shot corrected with a cold face.
Tu Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She thought that Miss Shen from Shen Garden had the surname Shen, so he would also have the surname Shen. She didn't expect that she was just being too clever.
"What's your last name?"
"Does your last name have anything to do with this matter?" A certain big shot was angry.
If it weren't for my leg disability and the bodyguard not following me in, I would have wanted to leave immediately.
"Okay, sir, I'm going to tell you a few things. Please listen carefully. I don't want to repeat myself a second time."
"First, this is not a hospital and I'm not a doctor, so you have no right to demand my professionalism."
"Secondly, I'm a quack doctor. You've been searching for famous doctors all over the world but to no avail, so you're turning to me as a last resort. There's an old saying among the people: if you want to beg for food, don't complain."
After hearing this, the boss's face fell.
Begging for food?
he?
This woman is really brave.
Aren't you afraid that he'll get angry and shoot her?
"Third, it was because of Uncle Sun's visit to Chen Garden, and because Miss Shen treated me with humility, gave me the Clivia King, and treated me with respect, that I reluctantly agreed to treat you. Since you are asking me for something, don't be picky with me. If you don't want to, you can always choose not to come for treatment. The decision is yours."
"Fourth, it is my right and freedom to answer the phone whenever I want, and I will continue to do so in the future."
"Are you done?" Nie Xiu said with a dark face.
"That's all."
"Having said that, let's get on with the acupuncture. Didn't Miss Tu say that her time was the most valuable?" The address was changed from Doctor Tu to Miss Tu intentionally by a certain big shot.
Because Tu Ran just emphasized that he is not a professional doctor, it seems that it is true that a certain big shot holds a grudge.
Yes, although I am angry now, I can't leave.
We can only wait for the reckoning.
When Tu Ran’s treatment is no longer effective, let’s see how he will deal with her.
For now, just bear with it. He is not the kind of person who cannot endure it.
In fact, in the base, Nie Xiu is the most cunning person and never shows his emotions.
Despite his young age, he has terrifying amounts of power.
If it weren't for the accident three years ago that caused him to be poisoned and become ill, his temper wouldn't have become so strange.
The man in front of me didn't get angry, nor did they get into a fight.
There is a feeling that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Thinking of this, Tu Ran felt a little guilty and thought, why should I argue with a patient?
Thinking of this, Tu Ran stopped struggling and continued to squat down and give the man an acupuncture injection in his leg.
Her needlework seems very casual, even like she is doing it randomly at will.
But Nie Xiu observed carefully and found that she had given a total of seventy-two injections today.
The positions of these seventy-two needles are linked together in the brain's memory, and it can be seen as one acupuncture method.
"This is the last shot. It might be a little painful. Please bear with it."
"This time, the meridians that the more than seventy needles passed through will be activated." Tu Ran reminded.
Nie Xiu nodded slightly and said no more.
Then Tu Ran stabbed down, and for a moment, Nie Xiu's face did turn pale.
Fortunately, he is an extremely tolerant person who has seen the world.
The pain today is much more intense than that day in Shen Garden.
About five minutes later, Tu Ran pulled out the needle.
Then he stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Nie Xiu.
"No need." His voice trembled.
"It's a tea for replenishing Qi. You've just lost a lot of Qi. Drink it, it's good for you."
After hearing what Tu Ran said, he took it and drank it in small sips.
"How much?"
"Huh?" Tu Ran was stunned by the question.
"How much is this cup of tea? I'll pay you separately."
"In your eyes, does everything have a price tag?" Tu Ran laughed angrily.
"I just don't like owing favors to others." Nie Xiu turned his head away and didn't look into Tu Ran's eyes.
"I won't owe anyone a favor. This cup of tea is included in the acupuncture package, so don't worry about drinking it, really." Tu Ran shook his head helplessly, then wrapped up the silver needles.
Before Tu Ran could say anything about helping him down, Nie Xiu's bodyguard came up.
"Ms. Tu, we're leaving first. Thank you for treating my boss." The bodyguard was very polite.
Tu Ran nodded slightly.
Nie Xiu said nothing and followed the bodyguard.
On the other hand, Mu Wanjun unexpectedly agreed to the dinner.
But it was not to give face to Xie Nancheng, but entirely to give face to Tu Ran.
After Xie Nancheng left the company, he drove to a high-end hot pot restaurant to choose ingredients.
But he didn't expect that he would meet his father here.
Xie Huaiyu didn't expect to meet his son and was a little flustered.
Because the woman sitting next to him at this moment was his white moonlight Qiao Kelan.
"Dad, why are you here?" Although Xie Nancheng was asking his father, his eyes were always on the woman next to his father. Just one glance was enough to tell that they had a complicated relationship, because they were not sitting face to face while eating, but sitting on the same side, very close to each other.
