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 63: Provoking Trouble
"Hot pot." Tu Ran is like that. Since you asked me to order, I won't be polite.
Xie Nancheng didn't show any expression and thought hotpot was fine.
However, the places the boss goes to are all high-end and luxurious.
Twenty minutes later, the Maybach stopped in front of a high-end hot pot restaurant.
"Thank you, Mr.
The waiters at the door were all very familiar with Xie Nancheng and could tell at a glance that he was a regular customer.
"Are there any private rooms?"
After Xie Nancheng asked, Tu Ran shook his head without waiting for the waiter to answer, "There's no atmosphere in the private room, let's go to the hall."
"Okay." It was a rare occasion for the boss to compromise.
“Find a good view.”
"Okay, Mr. Xie, please come this way."
After the waiter led them to their seats, both of them looked at the menu carefully.
Just order whatever you want to eat, Tu Ran is not polite at all.
But the things she ordered were not very expensive, they were all vegetables and staple foods.
Xie Nancheng waved his hand and a lot of fresh seafood came.
Seafood hotpot bases are not uncommon, and their main purpose is to enhance the flavor.
"Seafood is extremely cold. Eating too much will damage your stomach." Tu Ran couldn't help but fall back into his old habit.
"Put aside your tricks and take care of yourself." The boss said directly.
Tu Ran simply shut up and said no more.
Fresh staple foods, beef and vegetables were served one after another.
At this moment, snowflakes suddenly started floating in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, which created a beautiful scene.
Xie Nancheng looked at the steaming hot pot in front of him, then looked at the snow outside the window.
I always feel that it is a little unreal.
When has he ever been so down-to-earth?
Especially the little girl sitting opposite, with a thin figure, sitting there quietly.
If you look closely, you will find.
She eats very well and elegantly.
That kind of elegance wasn't something she learned deliberately in a large family; it seemed like she was born with it, very natural and unpretentious.
I have to say, this moment is very peaceful.
It cured the mania deep in Xie Nancheng's heart since he became blind.
"What are you thinking? Beef gets old if you don't eat it."
Looking at the meat slices bubbling at the bottom of the pot, Tu Ran raised his head and reminded.
Just as Xie Nancheng was about to say something, he heard a voice behind him.
"Mr. Xie...is it really you?"
Xie Nancheng and Tu Ran looked over when they heard the voice and found that it was Lin Siyao.
Next to Lin Siyao is Mai Yuqing, or to be more precise, Lin Chen’s ex-girlfriend.
But at this time, Tu Ran didn't know that Lin Chen had already broken up with this person.
After the breakup, Mai Yuqing still couldn't forget Lin Chen. She was unwilling to accept that her dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered.
Frequently attack Lin Siyao and conquer her.
As for Lin Siyao, she was indeed not living a happy life after her marriage and needed to curry favor with her people.
The two have been very close recently, and today Mai Yuqing said she would treat her to hotpot.
This is the highest-end hot pot restaurant in Xiangcheng. I didn’t expect to meet Xie Nancheng here.
When she saw Tu Ran, Lin Siyao immediately showed a look of contempt, but she was very good at pretending.
"Of course, you're here too?"
Tu Ran nodded slightly and said nothing.
"Of course, if you don't mind, would you please sit together? I have something to tell you."
"You ask him about that." Tu Ran was not that stupid.
He would not be fooled by Lin Siyao's hypocrisy, so he quickly threw the hot potato to the boss on the opposite side.
Xie Nancheng's face darkened, "I'm sorry, I really mind."
"Mr. Xie..."
"Siyao, let's sit here. There are seats here too."
Mai Yuqing felt a little embarrassed and pointed to the seat next to them, which was not far away anyway.
"Okay then, take a seat first."
After Lin Siyao instructed Mai Yuqing to sit down, she still walked forward unwillingly.
She deliberately tossed her long curly hair and posed coquettishly.
"I was really rude on the birthday party."
"On behalf of Peng Yuan, I apologize to you, Mr. Xie."
"I will not accept an apology from someone other than myself."
"Of course, even if Peng Yuan came to apologize, I wouldn't accept it." Xie Nancheng didn't give him face.
He lowered his head and silently picked up the mineral water and drank it.
Lin Siyao's eyes suddenly turned red and she glanced at Tu Ran.
"Of course, you know me. I'm in a very difficult situation right now. I'm a nobody in the Peng family... and my influence is minimal. After Peng Yuan got hurt, they blamed me for not protecting my husband. This guy didn't spend a penny on Mom's birthday party, and he didn't even give her a single gift. I'm too embarrassed to face Mom."
Please note that Lin Siyao used the word "our mother" here, wanting Tu Ran to empathize with her.
But Tu Ran just pretended to be slightly surprised and asked, "Ah? Is that so? I thought you were very favored in your husband's family. After all, your mother-in-law was the one who gave you the red coral. Mine are all borrowed, but yours are all given to you."
Okay, I'll wait here.
After hearing this, Xie Nancheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Who said this girl is calm and composed?
Isn't this very vindictive?
On the night of the birthday party, Lin Siyao used red coral to bully her, and now she returned the favor all of a sudden.
Lin Siyao was embarrassed by the criticism, but she could only continue to pretend. "My mother-in-law is indeed nice to me, but at least she is not as good as her own son. Anyway, I don't want to be like that. I know we are a family. Mr. Xie, please don't be angry. My parents also said they would invite you back to their house for dinner someday."
"No need, I'm busy lately."
"Of course, you won't forgive me, will you?"
"I don't know what happened to me a while ago. Maybe I was influenced by the Peng family, but I went crazy and targeted you everywhere. Now I think about it, I was really confused. We are all family, so why did I do this?"
As Lin Siyao spoke, she shed a few tears of self-blame.
To be honest, the acting was awkward and fake.
Xie Nancheng's first reaction was that her acting skills were no match for the girl from the mountain across from him.
"I hate women crying the most. They're so depressing. Get away from me."
Lin Siyao: ...
"Of course, my brother and Yuqing broke up."
In fact, this matter itself has nothing to do with Tu Ran, but Lin Siyao deliberately lowered her voice.
"Oh." Tu Ran was indeed unmoved.
"My brother did it for you..."
"Forget it, I won't say anymore."
Lin Siyao is very good at laying traps. She deliberately said it halfway, mainly these words, and Xie Nancheng also heard them.
It's very ambiguous.
Xie Nancheng originally knew that Tu Ran and Lin Chen were engaged.
He was also sarcastic before.
As expected, Xie Nancheng's expression didn't look very good.
"It's really depressing to eat. I'm leaving."
Xie Nancheng didn't want to eat anymore, so he got up after eating half full.
Tu Ran was a little reluctant, so he asked the waiter to pack up the remaining ingredients.
While packing, Mai Yuqing walked towards her again.
At the dinner that day, Tu Ran was puzzled by Mai Yuqing's sudden hostility towards her.
But now seeing her hanging out with Lin Siyao, I immediately understood what was going on.
Lin Siyao is the best at stirring up trouble. It is likely that she said something that caused this woman to treat herself like this.
"Tu Ran."
She spoke.
"Since you're married to Xie Nancheng, what else are you not satisfied with?"
Tu Ran: ???
Tu Ran looked at her with a puzzled expression, and was in no hurry to answer.
"Why did you come between me and Lin Chen? Just to show off your charm? So you don't even let a brother like Lin Chen go? How can you be so mean?"
"Aunt Lin has treated you like her own daughter these past few years. You shouldn't be so mean."
"What are you talking about?" Tu Ran looked at her coldly.
"You know best what I'm saying."
"Stop pretending."
"I can't believe you, a country bumpkin from the mountains, can pull off this vixen trick? It's quite effective, having charmed Xie Nancheng and refusing to give up, even going so far as to kill him. But do you think you've done enough for the Lin family? Won't you get retribution for being a mistress while getting in the way of someone else's feelings?"
"Also, if Xie Nancheng knew that you and Lin Chen were having an ambiguous relationship."
"Guess how he will deal with you?" Mai Yuqing asked Tu Ran viciously.
