Chapter 788: True Courage

"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. You and Xie Huailan are in cahoots, right? From the very beginning, you were the ones plotting against me." Xie Huaiyu connected all the dots.

"Huaiyu, I don't have any."

"I really didn't. You can go and investigate. I only contacted your sister recently. Because if she didn't bring me in, I wouldn't even be able to see you. You didn't answer my calls and you blocked me on WeChat. I have no choice, Huaiyu..." Qiao Kelan cried breathlessly.

"There's nothing more to talk about between us. Just name a price and I'll abort the baby." Xie Huaiyu had made up his mind.

Just think of it as paying money to ward off disaster and consider yourself unlucky.

"If we can't reach an agreement, then let's not talk about it."

"I won't abort the child."

"I will give birth to it."

"If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it. I don't care."

"If you think my child and I are a threat to you, just let your son kill us."

"I came to you today with the intention of dying."

Xie Huaiyu looked helpless, and the gentle look he used to give Qiao Kelan was long gone.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why should I? You forced me to do this, Xie Huaiyu. I've been abandoned by you once before, and I don't want to be abandoned by you a second time."

"Do we, the women of a poor family, have to be played with by you, the rich?"

"Are we supposed to die?"

Xie Huaiyu: ...

After saying this, Qiao Kelan left angrily.

Since we can't reach an agreement, let's wait a few days and then talk again after calming down.

Xie Huaiyu felt very depressed.

Especially, on New Year's Eve, if something like this happens at home, you would be a sinner.

Coincidentally, the sensible daughter-in-law was not at home.

If Tu Ran were at home, he would definitely be able to keep the situation under control.

Xie Huaiyu hurried back to see the old lady.

The Xie family is in a mess.

But the medicine garden base is peaceful.

In the morning, Wei Ming took Xiao He out in the base's pickup truck and bought a lot of fireworks.

It has a New Year's atmosphere.

Tu Ran was helping Shen Yingli make skin care products while playing with the kitten on New Year's Eve, and he didn't feel bored.

Until Xiaojie's phone call broke the silence.

Tu Ran: Hello?

Xiaojie: Dr. Tu, I’m Xiaojie.

Tu Ran: I am no longer helping out in the clinic, so you don’t need to call me Dr. Tu.

Xiaojie: Okay, Miss Tu.

Tu Ran: Is there anything wrong?

Xiaojie: I...I don’t know how to say it, I feel a little embarrassed.

Tu Ran: It’s okay, just say it.

Xiao Jie: My mistress refused to return to Beijing for the New Year, and for this, my wife was furious. But these are not the main points. The main point is that Miss Shen is not spending the New Year at Shen Garden this year. Everyone at Shen Garden has returned to their hometowns for the New Year, leaving only my mistress and me.

Tu Ran: So?

Xiaojie: So we both don't know what to eat, and we really don't know how to cook. I called Miss Shen, and she sent a cook back, but the earliest she can come is tomorrow morning, so... can you take us in for the night? I heard from Miss Shen that you're at the base."

Xiaojie: If you were at home, I would feel embarrassed to disturb you, but if you are at the base, could you take us in?

Tu Ran: No problem, come over here.

Tu Ran thought that there were so many people and the base wasn't just hers.

Including Xiaojie, there are five of them, so it won’t be awkward for everyone.

Xiao Jie: Then could you give my master a call or send him a WeChat invitation? You know him, he always likes to act pretentious. To be honest, I made the call on my own initiative.

Xiao Jie: Because my master asked me to go out and buy some pre-prepared meals, but I don’t think it’s a big deal if I eat pre-prepared meals. My master is a noble man, and he shouldn’t be so shabby on New Year’s Eve.

Tu Ran: I understand. Okay, I’ll call him.

Xiaojie: Dr. Tu, no no no, Miss Tu, you are really a good person.

Tu Ran was amused by Xiao Jie's words.

What kind of good person is this? There is no such thing as a truly good person in this world.

After hanging up the phone, Tu Ran put down the work at hand.

Dial Nie Xiu's number.

It took a while before he answered the phone.

And the voice sounded not as good as usual, a little lazy.

Nie Xiu: Hello?

Tu Ran: I am Tu Ran.

Nie Xiu: What's going on? (As indifferent as ever)

Tu Ran: I would like to invite Mr. Nie and Xiaojie to come to my medicine garden to celebrate New Year's Eve.

There was suddenly no movement over there, and it was very quiet for a while.

Tu Ran thought the signal was cut off and looked at his phone.

Tu Ran: Hello? Are you listening?

Nie Xiu: I heard it.

Tu Ran: Well, you guys drive over here, I will send the address to Xiaojie.

Nie Xiu: Why?

Tu Ran was puzzled: Why?

Nie Xiu: Why did you invite me to celebrate the New Year?

Tu Ran: Aren’t all the chefs at Chenyuan on vacation? Do you want to eat pre-prepared meals?

Nie Xiu: ...

Well, the boss only needs to think for a second to know that it was a lie from that kid Xiaojie.

There are dozens of people going up and down Chen Garden, so how can they have a holiday?

Even if he wanted to go back to his hometown for the New Year, he couldn't bear to give up the high salary given by the owner of Chenyuan.

But he understood Xiaojie's thoughts.

Tu Ran: It doesn’t matter whether you come or not...

Before Tu Ran could finish his words, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

Tu Ran was stunned for a moment and complained, "This guy is really as rude as ever. He loves you or not, but he's spoiled you."

But, an hour later.

Nie Xiu and his servant arrived at the base.

Xiao He and Wei Ming obviously did not dare to be negligent.

Helping to move things out of the car.

The boss didn't come empty-handed either, he brought two boxes of beer and two boxes of juice.

There was also a bottle of red wine with extremely beautiful packaging, which, in Xiaojie's words, was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, it was obviously not intended for them to drink.

"Boss, Mr. Nie is here." Wei Ming came in and informed her.

Tu Ran nodded, "I understand."

Then she put on her down jacket and went out to greet them.

At this time, Nie Xiu had already walked in and the two of them met face to face.

They looked at each other.

For some reason, Tu Ran felt that the way Nie Xiu looked at him seemed a little different.

It’s hard to explain.

It was as if the look in his eyes wasn't so cold anymore.

But there is no ambiguity or anything like that. Boss Nie has always been very proud and careful about his reputation.

I won't easily reveal emotions that would embarrass me.

"Happy New Year's Eve." He suddenly said.

I didn’t expect that the boss would wish me a happy new year.

Tu Ran took out a red envelope from his down jacket and handed it over.

"good."

Nie Xiu: ...

Xiaojie behind him couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

Why does this scene look a bit like a grandson wishing his grandmother a happy new year?

But Nie Xiu still took it, his hand speed was so fast.

He opened it directly and said disdainfully, "Only two hundred?"

"You're so embarrassed to take it out?"

Well, this is what a poisonous-tongued cultivator is.

Tu Ran rolled his eyes and said, "How about I give you a gold mine inside?"

Seeing that Tu Ran could still talk back, I knew that her mood was not that bad.

To be honest, on the way here, Nie Xiu was always worried that Tu Ran would be depressed and give him a sour face because of the breakup with Xie Nancheng, but in fact, he was overthinking it, she was still emotionally stable.

"But, it's New Year's Day, why are you at the base instead of Xie's?"

"Your husband doesn't want you anymore?" Nie Xiu is really not afraid of death.

After asking this question, Wei Ming and Xiao Jie's faces changed drastically with fear.

Is it okay to ask this directly? Oh my god! How brave!
