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 670: It’s impossible to pay
"Do I need to act dumb?"
"I really don't know what the Vajra Seal you are talking about is?"
Even in his dreams, Tu Ran's thoughts were very clear and his words were sharp.
The man was silent for a moment, "Take care of yourself."
After saying this, all the men in black disappeared.
Only a vast white mist remained...
"Hey, don't leave?"
"What is the Vajra Seal?"
"Where on earth are you from?"
For the first time, Tu Ran was so curious about the other person's identity and asked loudly in a hurry.
But it woke up Xie Nancheng from his sleep.
He patted Tu Ran gently.
"Wife, did you have a nightmare?"
After Tu Ran was woken up by someone, he realized that he was just dreaming.
She stood up dazedly and took a deep breath.
Then he slowly sat up, his mind still recalling the dream he had just had.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I was just dreaming." Tu Ran said absentmindedly.
"What did you dream about?"
"Nothing, I just went to a place I've never been to before. It was all covered in white fog, which was a bit scary."
"Hey, it's okay. Dreams are fake. I'll hold you in my arms as I sleep."
Xie Nancheng felt sorry for his wife and thought that she was just worried about the Xie family's mess recently, so she had such a dream due to mental stress, so he didn't think too much about it.
But Tu Ran kept this matter in mind and planned to ask Wanjun about it later.
At this moment, in a hidden corner in the back alley of Tianyi Pavilion.
Three men in black walked in the back alley, silently.
Even the presence of the three of them is invisible to passers-by, and difficult to capture by surveillance because the frequencies are different.
"Young Master."
"Why did you let that woman go just now?"
"Using the Diamond Seal to detain the soul of someone who was about to die is a violation of our regulations."
"Yes, young master."
"This isn't her first offense. That day, she used the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles to block that woman's acupoints, preventing her soul energy from dissipating. She obviously knows something."
"But there are many people in this world who know witchcraft."
"Not many people dare to go against us. Since she's well versed in metaphysics and numerology, she should know that life and death are determined by fate. Isn't there a saying among the people that goes, 'If the King of Hell tells you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you won't survive past five o'clock.'"
"So, young master, I think we should scare her."
"Didn't I just scare you?" the young man in black said in a light voice.
The two subordinates suddenly looked embarrassed.
They are too embarrassed to expose the young master, is that called threatening?
His attitude just now was so gentle, and the woman didn't show any fear at all.
"Young Master, this matter has become a hidden danger."
"We don't have much time. The list of those who are about to die will be reported soon... If the adults find out..."
"Don't you still have me to support you?" the young man in black said.
The two subordinates dared not say a word.
It's not like they can't read someone's signals. The young master is such a shrewd person. After ascending to power six hundred years ago, he has been in charge of the business of taking over the souls of the dead in the human world, and he has never made any mistakes. He is a young generation that the higher-ups value very much.
Now he is deliberately letting the water go, is there something fishy going on?
Tu Ran really knew nothing about all this.
That night, Xie Huaiyu's performance was also very exciting.
When he came back, he still saw Qiao Kelan had prepared a large table of dishes.
There are sixteen dishes in total, including delicacies such as Boston lobster and king crab.
Han Mengying was also at home. To be exact, both mother and daughter were at his house.
"Huaiyu, you are finally back."
"Xiaoying was hungry just now, and I didn't let her eat because I wanted to wait for you to eat together."
Xie Huaiyu looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Isn't it a bit extravagant for the three of us to eat so much?"
“You can buy it if you want to eat it, but there’s no need to make so much and don’t waste it.”
After hearing what Xie Huaiyu said, Qiao Kelan immediately tried to smooth things over. "I don't usually cook so much, but you've been too tired recently. You've been busy with our affairs outside every day and have lost weight. I felt bad, so I took the initiative to add more dishes. But these are all made by me, Huaiyu, and I used my own money."
The last sentence made Xie Huaiyu very embarrassed.
"It's not about the money, I just don't like to waste it."
"I understand. I won't do that again."
Xie Huaiyu nodded, took off his coat, washed his hands, and prepared to eat.
Han Mengying walked out of the house, and the first thing she said was, "Uncle Xie, I want to buy a building."
Xie Huaiyu's face visibly fell.
Both mother and daughter noticed his attitude, and when they saw that things were going badly, Qiao Kelan immediately blamed his daughter.
"Are you sick?"
"You are a school kid, what are you thinking about?"
"Your uncle is very good to you, even better than your own father. What else do you want?"
"Don't be shameless, Han Mengying!"
"Mom, it's not me asking for it, it's...my boyfriend's family asking for it."
"His family said that if I want to meet his parents, I must show sincerity." Han Mengying looked aggrieved.
Xie Huaiyu put down the chopsticks he had just picked up to express his dissatisfaction.
"Xiaoying, I remember I just gave you 1.3 million, right?"
"Ah, yes, uncle."
"But I didn't spend a penny of that 1.3 million. I bought my boyfriend a birthday present, a car. He was very happy and treated me very well. He said his parents were happy too, so that's why we're talking about marriage. And they said it's OK to put my name on the building. They're rich, too, so they wouldn't covet such a small thing from us."
After all, the country girl's appetite has been brought up.
Now, Xie Huaiyu is the God of Wealth in the eyes of mother and daughter.
A building has become just this little thing?
Xie Huaiyu sneered, "But why should I buy you a building? You are not my child. You might as well go find your biological father. Your biological father would be more suitable."
After saying this, Qiao Kelan was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold back his pride.
He said awkwardly, "Huaiyu, aren't you slapping me in the face with what you said?"
"The father of my child and I have been separated for several years."
"That drunkard, when he's drunk, he just hits people."
"How can I possibly have the money to buy a building for Xiaoying?"
"It's okay if you don't want to buy it, but don't insult us mother and daughter like this." Qiao Kelan is very good at playing the green tea trick.
If it were another man, he might fall for this.
But now, the poisonous insect in Xie Huaiyu's body has been stimulated again.
So all I could think about was the guilt towards my wife and the apology towards my son.
Where is there room for the mother and daughter to act like a spoiled brat?
"If I really insulted you, I wouldn't have given you money to open a shop, I wouldn't have bought your daughter a watch worth over 100,000 yuan, and I certainly wouldn't have given her 1.3 million yuan to give away sports cars."
"Kelan, do you think your daughter did the right thing?"
"Don't say I haven't married you yet, even if I did."
"Your daughter and I are not related by blood, so I have no obligation to give her these, right?"
"Uncle Xie, what do you mean? Don't you... love me anymore?" Han Mengying was dumbfounded.
