Chapter 496: Shadow in the Heart

Mrs. Lin: Sister Ran, it must be unpleasant to be betrayed by a man, right?

Mrs. Lin: I told you before, Xie Nancheng can’t handle it.

Mrs. Lin: You might as well come with me - this sentence directly shows that it was not sent and has been blocked.

"Tsk tsk, he has such a bad temper that he actually blocked me." Lin Chen said to himself.

Mrs. Lin's face changed and she snatched the phone away angrily.

"What are you doing?"

"The Xie family is in its heyday, why do you want to offend her?" Although Mrs. Lin had no good feelings towards Tu Ran, she wanted to keep his WeChat in case she needed it in the future.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

"Who caused your daughter to look like that?"

"Do you think the feud between our Lin family and the Xie family can be resolved?"

"It's deleted. It's impossible for you to use her to help you."

“It doesn’t matter whether you keep WeChat or not.”

After saying that, Lin Chen stood up and left with a smile in his eyes.

Madam Lin sighed softly, "What a sin."

In fact, she doesn't know why it turned out like this?

Lin Siyao's face is now ruined, so she went abroad for plastic surgery.

The money they spent almost emptied their last bit of savings.

As for Lin Chen, although he continued to be with Guo Meixin, he was guarded against by old man Guo and had no power.

The Lin family has long lost its former glory. Is it really all because of Tu Ran?

I still remember the night before Lin Siyao went abroad, she went crazy and smashed things at home.

He smashed the items and cursed, "It's all your fault for taking in that unlucky guy."

"After she came to our house, bad luck started to happen to our family."

"Why are you pretending to be nice? The world doesn't need so many nice people."

“Being good comes at a price.”

After all, the Lin couple were not bad people; they just spoiled their children.

Both Lin Chen and Lin Siyao are good-looking, especially Lin Siyao, who was once the most beautiful woman in Xiangcheng.

But what about now?

How did that sentence come about?

A good hand of cards was played badly.

But, is it really because of Tu Ran?

Mrs. Lin actually knew in her heart that it was her children who brought their own misfortunes upon themselves.

The Lin family was not nice to Tu Ran.

During the four years that Tu Ran stayed in the Lin family, he had no sense of existence in the Lin family.

It's not even as popular as the tabby cat raised by Lin Siyao.

Cat food is more expensive than what Tu Ran eats.

At that time, the Lin family was still lucky.

Lin Siyao climbed up the ladder of Madam Xie and got a marriage alliance with the Xie family.

As for Xie Nancheng, he was having a great time fighting with his uncle and aunt at that time.

I don't have time to interact with her.

The engagement was so confusing until... that car accident changed everything.

After all, Lin Siyao is just vain.

When she heard that someone was blind, she said she refused to marry him.

In order to prevent the Xie family from forcing her, she quickly found a backer for herself - the Peng family.

She thought that by marrying Peng Yuan, she could get rid of the Xie family's entanglement.

By the way, he gave the Xie family a village girl to deal with the matter perfunctorily.

Xie Nancheng was probably very generous by not banning the Lin family.

Perhaps it is not unreasonable for Tu Ran not to help them.

After Lin Chen left, Mrs. Lin's mind raced through the past four years.

In the end, there was still a sigh.

On the other side, the old lady of the Xie family did not hear what she wanted from Qiao Kelan.

"Auntie, I don't want anything."

"I really have no purpose for Huaiyu."

"I don't care whether you believe me or not." Qiao Kelan looked innocent and kept explaining.

Her expression was really a bit nervous and awkward, and people who didn't know the truth thought the old lady was making things difficult for her.

The old lady slowly stood up and coldly glanced at the face that annoyed her.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, then let's not talk about it. Ask God yourself if you have any purpose."

"You are over fifty years old, you should know a saying."

"what goes around comes around."

"It's not that I don't want to report it, but the time has not come yet."

"Since you're a mother, you should do good deeds for your children, what do you think?"

"Aunt, I..." When Qiao Kelan said this, tears welled up in her eyes.

Old Mrs. Xie turned around without saying another word.

I really can't stand seeing this face.

The eldest son, Xie Huaiyu, was also the one who once controlled the entire Xie family empire.

But how could such a shrewd and wise man fall into the hands of such a woman?

Perhaps, what you can’t get is always the best?

When the old lady left, her face was also full of dark clouds.

The next second, Qiao Kelan picked up the phone and called Xie's father.

Xie Huaiyu: Kelan, what’s the matter?

Qiao Kelan didn't say anything, just sobbed softly.

Xie Huaiyu: Hello? Kelan? Is that you? Speak.

Qiao Kelan: Huaiyu, I don't want to run this shop anymore. Can you help me sell it? I don't know any rich people here. This music sheet is a big investment, and I guess it's not something I can sell for a small amount of money.

Xie Huaiyu: Why do you want to cash it out? Do you need the money?

Qiao Kelan: Don’t ask anymore, even if I beg you, okay?

Xie Huaiyu: Where are you now?

Qiao Kelan: I'm still in the store.

Xie Huaiyu: Wait for me, I'll be back soon.

Xie Huaiyu had originally met up with a few friends to play golf.

The golf course is at its most beautiful in the summer.

He has been particularly close to Qiao Kelan recently, and several old friends have complained that they can't see him.

Unexpectedly, he left after just a short while.

Mr. Xie found an excuse and hurriedly left the golf course.

He did not hesitate to drive his own luxury car and asked the driver to take a taxi to leave work early.

Inside the cheongsam shop

As soon as he entered the lounge, he saw Qiao Kelan sitting on the sofa with a bad look on his face.

The main thing is that her eyes are red, and you can tell she has been crying.

Xie Huaiyu felt indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Why are you crying?" Although he is in his fifties, he is as gentle as a young man.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? You're busy too."

"I'm not busy, it's okay. Tell me, what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just don't want to do it anymore."

"Don't lie to me. You put so much effort into this store, and it's only been open for a few days? You don't want to do it anymore? You're not that impulsive. Can't you just tell me the truth?"

Xie Huaiyu sat opposite Qiao Kelan and showed rare patience.

Qiao Kelan raised his head and their eyes met.

When she opened her mouth, she felt aggrieved again, and tears fell in pairs.

"Hey, come on, you're not a kid anymore."

"What's so worth crying about?"

Xie Huaiyu took out a tissue from the table and handed it to her.

"I……"

"I actually don't know how to start. I didn't expect..."

"It's your mother. She...came to see me."

At this moment, Xie Huaiyu's expression was very interesting. He really didn't expect this.

After Xie Huailan was detained, her mother was obviously in poor condition and sometimes did not even come down to eat breakfast.

I saw someone in the kitchen preparing some Chinese medicine to nourish my mother's heart and blood.

Unexpectedly, the old lady could find Qiao Kelan?

"My mother has been here?"

Qiao Kelan nodded.

"What did she... say to you?" Xie Huaiyu actually guessed almost the same thing in his heart, but he felt a little guilty and didn't dare to say it. Because their relationship back then was broken up by his mother, so he had a psychological trauma.

"She said she could give me a lot of money and let me get out of Xiangcheng and leave you."

Qiao Kelan spoke word by word.
