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 51: Smart but a little scary
"Do you think Tu Ran can influence my decision?" Xie Nancheng looked at Lin Chen as if he were a fool.
Lin Chen immediately dismissed this guess and thought about it.
What is Xie Nancheng's identity? He is the prince of the Xie family who is arrogant and looks down on the world.
Would you listen to Tu Ran, an orphan, just because you’ve been married for a few days?
"Since you're not, let Tu Ran tell me that you're not qualified."
Having just been humiliated by Xie Nancheng, Lin Chen immediately looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
"I'm not taking it for free, I'm buying it. Just name your price."
Lin Chen's heart was shocked...
Spend money on it...it's a good idea.
"How much money are you willing to pay?"
"Of course not. I'm not a sucker. As long as the price is reasonable."
"I'm very curious, why do you want these things? They are not rare treasures." Lin Chen looked at Xie Nancheng.
"Tu Ran is my wife now. The dowry her grandfather gave her is not suitable for your family."
What Xie Nancheng said was well-reasoned.
Lin Chen was also a little tempted, but the more Xie Nancheng asked for it, the more he couldn't let him get it easily.
"We'll talk about it later."
After drinking the wine in the glass, Lin Chen turned around and left, no longer chatting with Xie Nancheng.
Xie Nancheng was also surrounded by several business leaders who came with him to chat.
"Achen."
Mai Yuqing actually came today, and she was dressed very beautifully.
She is a model and has a good aesthetic sense. She is tall and looks ethereal in a floral long dress from the latest season of a luxury brand. Unfortunately, Lin Chen has long been tired of this face.
"Why are you here?"
"Don't you welcome me?" Mai Yuqing looked hurt and affectionate.
Lin Chen just felt irritated. "That's not the case. I just think that since we've broken up, we should not disturb each other."
"I'm doing this for my aunt's birthday party, not for you."
"Also, even if we break up, Yaoyao and I are still good friends. You really don't have to do this." Mai Yuqing is also a strong-willed person, so she said this with gritted teeth.
"In that case, please do as you please."
Lin Chen didn't want to stay too long to entertain other VIPs.
Mai Yuqing's eyes were red, and she stood there feeling a little lost.
"Yuqing, have you seen that little bitch?" Lin Siyao came from behind at some point.
"who?"
Mai Yuqing didn't react for a moment.
"You're just a bitch who seduced my brother." Lin Siyao cursed.
"Is she here too?"
Mai Yuqing had just entered the scene and did not see the confrontation between Lin Siyao and Tu Ran.
"Yes, she came with Mr. Xie, but it seems they are separated now. I don't think Mr. Xie likes her very much. That's why she was lonely and unbearable in the empty room, so she seduced my brother."
Mai Yuqing was very displeased when she heard this, and her face darkened obviously.
Lin Siyao continued, "Come to think of it, my brother said a while ago that he was going to look at wedding houses and was planning to marry you. He even told us at the time, but unexpectedly he broke up with you. I really don't know what tricks that bitch used to interfere with your relationship."
"What? Achen mentioned that he wanted to marry me?" Mai Yuqing looked at Lin Siyao in surprise.
"Yes, but he didn't directly say he would marry you. But you are his girlfriend, so don't you have someone else? We all thought it was you. You know, my parents like you very much too."
"Is it really because of Tu Ran?" Mai Yuqing is not stupid, and doesn't want to be used as a gun.
Lin Siyao was smarter and whispered something in her ear, "If you don't believe me, observe the way my brother looks at her."
Mai Yuqing actually listened to Lin Siyao's words. She knew Tu Ran.
At this moment, Tu Ran was sitting in the corner drinking and not talking to anyone.
Lin Chen was clearly socializing with many people, but his eyes kept looking towards the corner from time to time.
In that corner, there was only Tu Ran. If not her, who else should I look at?
When Lin Chen looked at Tu Ran, his eyes were truly filled with lust, a man's desire and possessiveness for a woman.
This is something that Mai Yuqing, a veteran in the love field, can easily discern.
She immediately became furious, thinking of what Lin Siyao had just said, that they were about to get married and someone had interfered.
She instantly lost her mind, picked up two glasses of red wine, and walked towards Tu Ran in the corner.
Tu Ran saw the woman running towards him...
And it's coming with great force.
She knew the woman, Mai Yuqing, Lin Chen's girlfriend.
She had been to the Lin family several times, but they had never spoken a word. At that time, she had almost no presence in the Lin family.
Normally, seeing Mai Yuqing coming towards him, Tu Ran should not be on guard at all.
Because Mai Yuqing didn't come to talk to her at all, she came to pour wine on her.
Seeing that there were only three or five steps left, Tu Ran threw the banana peel in his hand to the ground.
Mai Yuqing walked over angrily and was about to raise her hand to pour the wine.
I just felt my foot slip and stepped on a banana peel.
In order to prevent herself from falling, she had to give up her sense of balance and poured both glasses of wine on herself.
"ah……"
Mai Yuqing's cry immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Mrs. Lin was also attracted by the sound and came over to see.
"Aunt, she...she hurt me."
"She almost made me slip on purpose." Mai Yuqing was so angry that she complained directly.
When Mrs. Lin looked at Tu Ran, she looked apologetic.
"I'm sorry, Mother Lin."
"I didn't have dinner when I came here, so I wanted to eat some fruit to fill my stomach."
"I couldn't find a trash can, so I just threw the banana peel on the ground."
"I didn't expect the lady to step on it, because not many people come to this corner."
"I really shouldn't have littered. I'm sorry, Mother Lin."
As he spoke, Tu Ran took out a tissue, squatted down, picked up the banana peel and walked towards the corridor.
Everything she said was so reasonable that no one could find a flaw.
Mai Yuqing was stunned...
Is this guy in front of me the same country bumpkin I met at the Lin family before?
At that time, she thought this woman was a bitch and rarely listened to her.
See you today...
It's really surprising.
With this mouth and this brain, could Lin Chen fall into her trap?
"Yuqing, I'm so sorry. Ranran doesn't know the rules and has caused you trouble."
"Go change in the lounge over there. Do you have a spare dress? If not, I'll buy you one..."
"No, no, I brought a spare one with me." Mai Yuqing still had hope of getting back together with Lin Chen, so naturally she didn't want to make things too difficult for Mrs. Lin.
In the fire escape of the VIP lounge
Tu Ran threw away the banana peel and smiled coldly.
You want to throw wine on her? No way.
This is a piece of clothing custom-made by my grandma. Not only is it very expensive, but the thought behind it is also very precious.
When she doesn't want to be bullied, no one can help her.
"You little girl, you're so smart that it's a little scary."
A man's voice sounded, and Tu Ran was suddenly startled.
Following the dim light, Tu Ran was even more shocked after seeing the man clearly.
"Why is it you?"
