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 77: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
"no."
"So what does your father do?" the rude boy kept asking.
"I... don't have parents." Tu Ran was not good at lying, so after thinking about it, he told the truth.
After hearing this, the whole class was shocked.
But no one dared to continue to be curious about her background.
I thought that this person was an orphan and might have come in through special channels relying on state welfare.
There's nothing unfair about this.
There were even a few soft-hearted classmates who looked at Tu Ran with tears in their eyes.
Actually, it’s not that serious.
Tu Ran never felt pitiful for not having parents.
The main reason was that she didn't want to look for her parents, no matter whether she was abducted or lost.
Or maybe she was abandoned by her biological parents, and she has accepted her fate over the years.
She loved the three thatched houses in Phoenix Ridge and her deceased grandfather.
Now, I really like the Xie family's love for her grandmother...
After calming down, Tu Ran breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost noon when the counselor asked the class monitor to bring the books Tu Ran needed.
There were quite a few books. The class monitor, Yang Chunhua, and a fat girl wearing glasses moved them here together.
"Tu Ran, these are the books you need."
"Thank you, squad leader." Tu Ran stood up and thanked him.
"No need. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. By the way, it's almost time. You should get ready for lunch. There are three cafeterias in the school, numbered one, two, and three."
"The food in Canteen 1 is the worst, Canteen 2 is just average, and Canteen 3 is a bit better, but more expensive. You can choose according to your taste and financial situation."
"good."
After saying that, the class monitor and the fat girl left.
Less than twenty minutes later, Tu Ran looked at the time on his phone.
It was indeed time for lunch. She thought about what the monitor had said and went straight to the third cafeteria.
Tu Ran never expected to meet an acquaintance in the third cafeteria.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a lot of people seeming to be watching something.
Then I heard someone whisper, "Wow, Mr. Gu is really handsome."
"He is indeed handsome. Why doesn't he go to film? It's a pity."
"Are you kidding me? You can't imagine how much money Chengtian Pharmaceutical has."
"Such a wealthy heir needs to film a movie?"
"Was it Wu Yue who had dinner with him?"
"It's really Wu Yue."
"Who is Wu Yue? Who are you talking about?"
"Wu Yue is the daughter of our principal Wu, a rich lady."
"I heard that she stayed on to teach at the school directly after graduation. She is still doing internship in her senior year. She is really lucky."
When Tu Ran heard this, he was not interested at first.
However, when I heard about Chengtian Pharmaceutical, I realized that it was Gu Xixing who came.
She silently walked to the corner and queued up to buy food, buying one meat dish, one vegetable dish and a portion of rice.
I found a very secluded corner to sit down and eat quietly.
At this time, the crowd had mostly dispersed.
Tu Ran was embarrassed to find that Gu Xixing's desk was not far from hers.
The moment Gu Xixing raised his head and saw Tu Ern, he was also a little surprised.
Then he smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Tu Ran also smiled, then immediately lowered his head and continued eating.
She was really a little scared, in case Gu Xixing came here to talk to her.
If these students saw this, they would probably spread gossip and cause some disturbance.
Perhaps seeing through Tu Ran's thoughts, Gu Xixing did not stand up to greet her.
"Brother Xing, is the food not to your liking? You eat so little."
"No."
"Are you not used to the food in the cafeteria?"
"How is that possible? I studied here." Gu Xixing smiled.
Wu Yue also laughed. "Look at my brain. No wonder my dad says I always forget things day by day. They say my dad doesn't want me to be a doctor because he's afraid I'll delay someone's illness."
"Are you sure you want to stay in school?" Gu Xixing looked at Wu Yue.
"Well, it's good to stay on campus. I like this university very much. When I was a child, I played here because of my father's work. It's where I grew up and I have a lot of feelings for it."
"Not bad, for a girl, being a university teacher is also good."
"Brother Xing, there's a concert in Xiangcheng tonight. It's by rock singer Jiang Hao. Do you want to go with me? I have tickets."
"I'm not interested in the things you kids like."
"What kid? How old are you?" Wu Yue stared.
"Yueyue, the director wants you to go to his office."
"Okay, here I come."
Wu Yue stood up and left, "Brother Xing, wait here for me. Don't leave. Do you hear me?"
Gu Xixing smiled but said nothing...
At this time, Tu Ran had also finished eating. She lowered her head and deliberately took a detour to leave, but was still blocked by someone.
"You're deliberately avoiding me."
"Are you afraid that I'll ask you to treat me to a meal?"
Tu Ran was a little nervous, "No, no."
The two of them were supposed to have dinner together last time, but it was ruined because of a WeChat message from Xie Nancheng.
At that time, Gu Xixing jokingly said, "Please treat me next time."
So only the two of them understood what he just said.
"I'm just kidding, don't be nervous."
"No, I do owe you a meal." Tu Ran felt that since this man had saved his life, it was not too much to treat him to a meal.
"How about adding WeChat? So we can have dinner together next time?"
Gu Xixing also had a meeting to attend, so he was in a hurry to leave and had no time to continue chatting with Tu Ran.
But this time, he had the idea of adding WeChat.
Although I know, I shouldn't add it.
After all, this woman's identity is... sensitive.
But the moment he saw Tu Ran, Gu Xixing always felt as if something was attracting him.
It made him lose control slightly.
"good."
Tu Ran opened his phone and showed the QR code.
Now, there are only two people in Tu Ran’s WeChat, one is Xie Nancheng and the other is Gu Xixing.
Both of them are big bosses who can stir up bloody storms in Xiangcheng.
After hastily adding WeChat, Tu Ran ran away quickly, fearing that he would be seen by other classmates.
When she went to the library in the afternoon, she found that a female classmate was blocked by three boys.
Tu Ran has a good memory and has seen this female classmate in class.
The main reason is that this girl is very cute and has a doll-like face.
The feeling is just like watching a campus idol drama, with the feeling of being seventeen or eighteen years old.
"This is the third time."
"If you don't give me your WeChat, I won't let you go. I told you, I've liked baby-faced girls like you since I was a kid."
The boy who was leading the group was dressed in branded clothes, looked very ruffian and had a scoundrel look on his face.
The girl's big eyelashes flickered, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
"Our Young Master Kang likes you and is giving you face. Don't be ungrateful."
"Mr. Kang's family is very rich. If you follow him, you will enjoy endless blessings in the future."
At this time, some people passing by watched and whispered, "Is that Kang Baojun? Oh my god, he's bullying pretty girls again, pitiful."
"Get lost, what are you looking at? Do you want to get beaten?"
The two little brothers were baring their teeth and claws to scare the students passing by. Tu Ran had no intention of helping them. It was only her first day there, and she was not the kind of person who was willing to meddle in other people's business.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard a very strange cry.
The sound was small and high-pitched, but very clear. She looked up in shock.
I saw three boys fall to the ground in an instant, holding their stomachs in pain and rolling around on the ground.
And the baby-faced girl just now was looking down at the three people from above, and her eyes clearly had the vision of a god.
"Sure, this school."
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Tu Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Fortunately, I didn't leave in a hurry, and she really saw this wonderful scene.
So that high-pitched weird scream just now was...
She turned her gaze back to the baby-faced girl and looked at her carefully.
