Chapter 677: Thick-skinned

However, that wasn't the case. Gu Huan was really overthinking it.

Tu Ran was very calm and didn't look unnatural at all.

"I know your brother is a good person, but we don't have any fate. Being friends is good enough."

"Sister Tu Ran, my brother said so."

"If you need any help in the future, our Gu family will do our best to help you."

"Well, if I need anything, I will come to you." Tu Ran agreed.

"By the way, Sister Tu Ran, this is a gift from me to you."

"No, to be exact, there are three gifts."

"One for my mom, one for my brother, and one for me."

As he spoke, Gu Huan took out three exquisite bags from behind him.

Just as Tu Ran was about to refuse, Gu Huan said, "They're not expensive. Don't worry, they're not luxury brands. My brother said you wouldn't accept anything too expensive, and he's afraid you'll feel burdened, so they're just small items."

After Gu Huan said this, Tu Ran didn't know what to say.

"This wool vest was knitted by my mother. She's an amazing handicraft expert. She's made a lot of things for me since I was little. I just don't know if you like this color."

Gu Huan handed over the clothes, which was a bright red woolen vest with two cherries embellished on it, making it look vivid.

"It's so beautiful. Thank your mother for me." Tu Ran took it and felt that such a gift was meaningful.

"This is a gift from me, a neck massager, haha, very cheap."

“But it works very well.”

"I know you're studying Chinese medicine, but you can also relax when you're tired from work."

"This is good and practical. I really need it." Tu Ran saw that they were not expensive and accepted them directly.

"This was a gift from my brother. It's a restorative skincare product developed independently by our company. It's all natural and contains no irritating ingredients. My mom and I use it, and I think it's much better than the big brands on the market. However, because the product is newly developed and not mature enough, our company hasn't launched it on the market yet."

"But we have already reached the research stage, and we will launch it once the price is finally determined."

"Sister Tu Ran, please accept it."

"You've suffered a lot because of our family's affairs, and you've been misunderstood like that."

"But I'm afraid you won't want something expensive if I give you one. I have no choice. My brother really thought about it for a long time before choosing this."

"This set is the most comprehensive. It contains not only the basic skincare products like lotion, essence, and cleanser, but also a restorative mask, body lotion, shower gel, and shampoo. Oh, and there's also soothing essential oil. You can add a little to your bath; it's super good."

"Hearing what you said, I'm going to give it a try when I get back."

Gu Huan liked Tu Ran very much, so he talked incessantly.

Tu Ran accepted all three gifts, which made Gu Huan even happier.

Then the dishes were served one after another, and the girl ate with a great appetite.

Tu Ran ate a few bites of light food and took the time to send a WeChat message to Xie Nancheng.

Tu Ran: Have you had dinner tonight?

Xie Nancheng: No, what's the matter? Mrs. Xie wants to treat me to a meal?

Tu Ran: I’m afraid it’s too late to treat you to a meal. I just ate. If you haven’t eaten yet, tell me what you want to eat and I’ll pack it up for you later.

Xie Nancheng: Forget it, if you are dining with guests, don’t pack up the food. It’s not convenient. I can just make do with one bite.

At this time, Xie Nancheng was still working overtime in the company.

Seeing that he hadn't eaten anything, Xu Xin asked the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes, and Xie Nancheng simply ate a few bites.

Tu Ran: Okay then.

Xie Nancheng: What time do you finish eating so I can pick you up?

Tu Ran: No, I drove the car myself. Oh, there's one more thing.

Xie Nancheng: What?

Tu Ran: Can I tell grandma that I will keep Lihua in our home for the time being?

Xie Nancheng: Why don’t you say it yourself?

Tu Ran: I’m thin-skinned.

Xie Nancheng: What you said, do you mean I am thick-skinned?

Tu Ran: Yes.

Xie Nancheng: Mrs. Xie, if you talk like this, you will have no friends and you are not lovable.

Tu Ran pursed his lips slightly.

Tu Ran: Stop making trouble, just continue with your work, see you in the evening. Don’t forget to talk to grandma on my side.

Xie Nancheng: I understand, ancestor.

Xie Nancheng simply thought that Tu Ran liked pear blossoms and wanted to raise them for fun.

Unbeknownst to him, Tu Ran was afraid that Lihua would be murdered.

Because white stray cats were being abused and killed throughout the city, the news quickly died down. Apart from a few protests from cat lovers, most passers-by were indifferent. Everyone thought that they were just stray cats and it didn't matter.

Only Tu Ran knew that it was definitely not a coincidence.

Lihua bumped into Lu Xuaner that day, so of course she couldn't take action in the Xie family's old house.

But he killed all the white cats in the city to vent his anger and give her a warning.

Because Lihua is also a white kitten.

On the other hand, although Lu Xuaner's bodyguard was taken back, he was soon released on bail.

The main reason is that torturing and killing cats does not constitute a crime at all.

In addition, Bill's passport was for a foreigner, so the police were quite sensitive about this. They were afraid that those traitors would take advantage of it and make a big fuss on the foreign Internet, so they did not dare to make things difficult for him. They even released Lu Xuaner without her paying the bail.

Lu Xuan'er drove to pick up the bodyguard in person, and was extremely arrogant.

Bai Yi was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

"Ms. Lu, please keep an eye on your bodyguards."

"If there's another incident of cat abuse, don't say we're rude. Cat abuse isn't illegal, but if he does it so frequently, I have reason to believe he's a restless individual who could pose a threat to the safety of Xiangcheng. I'll petition my superiors to have him sent back to his country."

Bai Yi threatened with a cold face, but he didn't expect that before Lu Xuan'er finished speaking, the big fool waved his fist in front of Bai Yi provocatively.

"You stinky police officer, you meddle in other people's business. Be careful of your death."

The colleague behind Bai Yi was anxious, "What are you talking about?"

Lu Xuan'er hurriedly explained, "Comrade police, please don't get excited. My bodyguard has some mental problems. I'm sorry, I'll tell him. Thank you for your hard work."

Watching Lu Xuan'er driving away in a black jeep, Bai Yi's face became increasingly ugly.

Is this matter just going to end like this?

Tu Ran's idea was completely correct, but he didn't handle it properly and the monkeys in the zoo were seriously injured.

Bai Yi was holding his breath when he received a call from Feng Yao.

"Hey, I'm getting married next week. I've booked a hotel in Condales. Come to the wedding banquet at nine in the morning."

"So soon?" Bai Yi was stunned. He had been so busy recently that he hadn't contacted Feng Yao's group of friends. He didn't expect that they were about to get married.

"Indeed, I didn't expect it to happen so soon, but life is so unpredictable." Feng Yao himself sighed.

"Ayao, have you completely let go of Mu Wanjun?" Bai Yi was a little unconvinced. Can you just let go of someone you love? Letting go so quickly isn't love, right?
