Chapter 795: Deliberate Alienation

Nie Xiu picked up his phone and sent the news page directly to Tu Ran.

It was reported by a very authoritative official media in Hong Kong, so it must be true.

If it hadn't been exposed in the news, Nie Xiu would certainly not have been willing to tell Tu Ran about this, even though he already knew about it in advance.

But now the whole network knows about it and it can’t be concealed.

Of course, the boss also wants to change the subject, that’s for sure.

Just by looking at Tu Ran's expression, you can tell that she is about to say something hurtful or rejecting.

Gu Xixing had experienced these things before.

"It's on the news."

Tu Ran took the phone and looked through it quickly.

News headlines: The old lady of the Xie family died on New Year’s Eve. Why did the Xie family keep the news a secret?

This title makes me want to punch someone.

It is obvious that someone is deliberately stirring up trouble and bribing the media, which is why they are so vicious.

It's sad enough when someone dies during Chinese New Year.

It's normal to want to hide something.

But someone just wants to expose the truth.

Of course, it’s not difficult to guess who this person is, Lin Siyao.

Rather than saying it is Lin Siyao, it is better to say it is Xie Yao behind Lin Siyao.

Speaking of which, Lin Siyao also lost face.

On New Year's Eve, she went home to be with her parents, and the Lin family also kindly invited Xie Yao to go back with her to the Lin family.

But Xie Yao refused.

This guy lives in a six-star presidential suite, which is very comfortable and quiet.

Finally, when Lin Siyao saw that the sponsor didn’t show up, she simply decided not to accompany them.

He showed up at home in a hurry and also ran to the hotel to accompany Xie Yao.

Lin Chen didn't come back either and stayed at Guo's house.

Lin's parents were particularly aloof.

It was Xie Yao who was responsible for exposing this news.

As soon as the news came out, it became a hot topic.

After Tu Ran returned the phone to Nie Xiu, he walked out without saying a word.

He didn't even put on his coat and went to make a phone call.

She dialed Xie Nancheng's number directly, but no one answered.

I called three or four times, but still no one answered.

In desperation, Tu Ran called Yang Xin directly.

Fortunately, Yang Xin answered the call.

Tu Ran: Vice President Yang, I’m Tu Ran.

Yang Xin: I know, Ranran, I have your number.

Tu Ran: I saw the news. What’s going on? Is it fake?

When Tu Ran asked these questions, his voice was actually trembling.

Because she could never believe that Grandma Xie had passed away.

Although they had only been together for a short year, Grandma Xie had indeed given her a lot of warmth.

She was very grateful to the old man for never looking down on her because of her origin, background or education.

Calling her "Ranran" over and over again, calling her "granddaughter-in-law" over and over again.

Everything is still vivid in my mind, just like it was yesterday.

Yang Xin: Yes, Ranran, the old lady has passed away.

Tu Ran choked: When?

Yang Xin: On New Year’s Eve.

Tu Ran: Grandma has always been in good health, why did she suddenly...

Yang Xin: Actually, the old lady's health isn't particularly good either. She's old and has many ailments, especially her heart condition, and she's always been relying on precious medicinal herbs for support. Of course, this time her illness was also because... Xie Huailan brought that mistress back with her, the woman Nancheng's father had found.

Tu Ran: Are they both here to cause trouble? Didn't Nancheng kick them out?

Yang Xin: Before Nancheng could say anything, the woman revealed that she was pregnant with my eldest brother's child. Oh, the whole family was in chaos. My sister-in-law was devastated, and the old lady was devastated too.

Yang Xin: Coupled with the stimulation of Xie Huailan's crazy words, the old lady collapsed directly.

Tu Ran: Despicable and shameless, that's her own mother. (She was talking about Xie Huailan)

Yang Xin: She has always been that kind of person. How could someone who only cares about money and interests care about whether she is her biological mother or not?

Tu Ran: What’s the situation now?

Yang Xin: Nancheng’s intention is to keep the death a secret.

Yang Xin: Because it was Chinese New Year and the incident happened suddenly, we should send the old lady to the funeral home first and then deal with it later. Everyone is in a bad mood and needs to take it easy.

Tu Ran: That news...

Yang Xin: The news should have been exposed by a hostile party, very suddenly. Nancheng should have been investigating.

Tu Ran: Are you and Nancheng together? Are you both in the old house?

Yang Xin: No, South City is in Tianyi Pavilion.

Tu Ran: I called him but he didn’t answer.

Yang Xin: He is probably dealing with urgent news, don’t worry.

Yang Xin didn't know what happened between Tu Ran and Xie Nancheng, but she always felt something was wrong.

Yang Xin: Ranran, what happened between you and Nancheng?

Tu Ran: We...it’s a long story.

Yang Xin: Your grandma asked you before, why didn’t you come back for the New Year? Nancheng said you went out.

Tu Ran: Yes, I am not in the main city of Xiangcheng.

In fact, Tu Ran’s medicine garden base is not in the city, but far away in the suburbs.

Yang Xin: Then you should come back quickly and accompany Nancheng. I think he is under a lot of pressure.

Tu Ran: Okay, I’ll contact him.

After hanging up the phone, Tu Ran contacted Xie Nancheng again.

This time it connected.

A long-lost voice came from the other side.

That sound made Tu Ran feel as if a very long time had passed.

Xie Nancheng: Hello?

Tu Ran: It’s me.

Xie Nancheng was silent for a while: I know.

Tu Ran: I saw the news. Are you okay?

Xie Nancheng: Well, not bad.

Tu Ran: Are you in Tianyi Pavilion? I’ll go back to find you.

Xie Nancheng: No need, I can handle it myself.

Tu Ran: ...

Xie Nancheng: I appreciate your kindness, but I really don’t need you to come back. I am not the kind of person who needs a woman to take the lead in everything. The Xie family has come this far over the years not by relying on women.

Tu Ran was suddenly poured with cold water.

Tu Ran: Okay, then... when will grandma's funeral be held?

Xie Nancheng: Not confirmed yet.

Tu Ran: Can I go to mourn grandma?

Xie Nancheng: It’s up to you.

It’s up to you. These three words are even more terrifyingly alienating.

It’s better to just say no.

Tu Ran felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

But he was still polite and said patiently: Okay, then when grandma's funeral is scheduled, please let me know, I want to see her off for the last time.

Xie Nancheng: Okay, I got it. I’m driving, so I’ll hang up now.

Beep, beep, beep...

There was a busy tone on the other end, and then the call was hung up.

Tu Ran felt an inexplicable sense of loss and suffocation in his heart.

On the other side, Xie Nancheng already had tears in his eyes. If he continued talking, he would really break down.

God knows, when he heard Ranran's voice, he wanted to see her immediately.

But no! Not right now.

If you are not cruel now, you will have to experience separation again and again in the future. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

After hanging up the phone, Tu Ran walked in with a depressed mood.

But I can’t sleep anymore.

Received the news that the old lady had passed away.

She really found it unacceptable and extremely sad.

Moreover, especially now because of the bad relationship with Xie Nancheng, there is no way to go to the old house to appease the Xie family.

In fact, the person in the Xie family who needs to be appeased the most right now is Xie Nancheng.

Unfortunately, he refused.

"Boss Xie, I found out. It was spread by Lin Siyao."
