Chapter 1137: The Fear of Being Seen Through
"Ms. Tu, I'm Shao Zining."
"I met you before at the Xie family's hospital." Shao Zining remained polite.
Unexpectedly, Mu Wanjun was already very impatient.
She hated the bitches who stole other people's men even though they knew they were already taken.
"I don't care about Shao Zining or Wang Zining."
"My sister and I were having dinner, didn't you see?"
"Don't you know you shouldn't disturb other people's meals?"
"It was a bit presumptuous, I'm sorry." Shao Zining apologized.
"If you know you're being rude, just go away and stop disturbing our mood." Mu Wanjun was extremely rude.
In the end, Tu Ran stopped her.
"Wanjun, we've finished eating anyway, so you should go back to the hospital."
"Let's meet again later."
Mu Wanjun nodded, and before leaving, she whispered to Tu Ran, "Sister, you don't need to be nice to her. Some people just like to push their luck. This woman is not a good person."
"Well, I won't suffer any loss, don't worry." Tu Ran knew that Wanjun was doing this for his own good, so of course he appreciated it.
After Mu Wanjun left, Tu Ran and Shao Zining changed places.
There is a teahouse not far away.
The two of them booked a small private room.
Ordered a pot of tea.
Shao Zining took the initiative to take the responsibility of making tea and was very polite to Tu Ran.
"Yesterday's meeting was too hasty."
"So I didn't have time to say anything."
"Thinking that now that I have returned to Xiangcheng."
"It's better to visit Miss Tu."
"Miss Shao, if you have something to say, just say it." Tu Ran never liked wasting time.
"It's nothing, actually."
"I'm just quite curious about you, Miss Tu."
"I have heard countless legends about you."
"I always want to see her in person and see her beautiful face."
"I also want to see what Mr. Xie, the person he holds dearest, is like."
Tu Ran said calmly, "If that's the case, I'm afraid Miss Shao will be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary person, not stunningly beautiful, nor exceptionally talented. I don't have the deep friendship that Xie Nancheng and I had since our youth. I don't have any extraordinary family background or status."
"Miss Tu, why do you have to be so self-deprecating?"
"I believe you are definitely not ordinary."
"Otherwise...how could someone like Mr. Xie still be obsessed with you after the divorce?" Shao Zining pushed the teacup over.
Tu Ran took it and held it in his hand.
He glanced at Shao Zining and asked, "Ms. Shao, what do you want to say?"
"What I actually want to say is..."
"Some things should be over once they are over."
"We shouldn't go back to the old ways, nor should we reconcile."
"Because you know, even a broken mirror can be broken... Miss Tu is a truly extraordinary person, so you probably understand what I mean, right?"
"Do you want me to give up?" Tu Ran curled his lips.
"I guess so." Shao Zining replied boldly.
"What gives you the right? If these words were said by Han Chuxi today, I could understand... After all, she had a scandal with Nancheng. But who are you, Miss Shao? You are from Jing City and don't live or work in Xiangcheng. Do you think you are recognized by coming back every now and then to pester men?"
Tu Ran's words were quite harsh.
She's not actually such an aggressive person.
Shao Zining's attitude was much more polite than Zhou Han and others before.
But why is Tu Ran so angry?
Maybe it’s because it’s so precious after being lost and recovered with Xie Nancheng this time.
Xie Nancheng is still lying in the hospital bed and his wounds have not healed yet.
She was still in shock from the news she received that night.
So, this time, Tu Ran protected his shortcomings and acted domineeringly for once.
Shao Zining was slightly surprised.
"It is said that Miss Tu has a calm personality and does not like to compete with others."
"It seems that the legends are not entirely true."
Facing Shao Zining's ridicule, Tu Ran also retorted, "I am not competitive, but that doesn't mean others can just take my things. After all, I am still a mortal, not a Buddha. Miss Shao doesn't need to morally blackmail me. And... rumors, etc., I don't care at all."
"But if you want to show off in front of me."
"You'd better identify yourself first."
Shao Zining drank tea silently without saying a word, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Tu Ran had already stood up and said, "Thank you for the tea today. It's better for us not to meet in the future to avoid embarrassment."
"besides……"
"Ms. Shao is such a smart person, she shouldn't be involved in other people's emotions."
"I don't know what the person behind this promised you, but you clearly don't love Nancheng, so why do you have to pretend to be deeply in love with him?"
After saying that, Tu Ran turned and walked out.
Leaving behind the frightened Shao Zining.
She didn't understand, she clearly didn't leave any loopholes?
But how did Tu Ran figure it out?
She really didn't love Xie Nancheng.
But a noble person in the Beijing circle gave her a death order.
Ask her to take action and hook Xie Nancheng.
She couldn't refuse that noble man.
Today I want to say something to disgust Tu Ran and create conflict between her and Xie Nancheng.
But she didn't expect that Tu Ran could see it clearly.
In this case, the next move will not be easy.
Shao Zining just felt a headache.
She admitted that she had indeed underestimated Xie Nancheng's ex-wife before.
I returned to Muyunzhai in the afternoon and started to get busy.
It was not until evening that I remembered to ask about Chen Garden.
She didn't bother Nie Xiu again.
Instead, he chose to ask Chen Yingli.
Shen Yingli is different from Nie Xiu and is very kind to Tu Ran.
Basically, I reply as soon as I see the message.
Tu Ran: Miss Chen, when will you be back?
Chen Yingli: Two or three days, what's wrong? Are you okay? Tu Ran?
Tu Ran: Ah, nothing much. I just thought the facial mask and anti-aging pills I made for you before might not be enough, so I made some more for you and wanted to give them to you.
Chen Yingli: Oh, you are so kind.
Tu Ran: Mr. Nie...is he on another business trip? When will he return to Shenyuan?
Chen Yingli: Eh? Is Xiu no longer in Shen Garden? He went out? He didn't tell me.
Tu Ran was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Shen Yingli didn't even know that Nie Xiu had left.
Chen Yingli was so smart that he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Chen Yingli: Tu Ran, did you and Xiu have another fight?
Tu Ran: No, we didn’t have a fight. How could I dare to provoke him?
Tu Ran didn't know how to answer, but didn't want to hide it from Chen Yingli, so he simply told her the whole story.
Chen Yingli: I saw the news about Xie Nancheng’s accident, but isn’t he fine now?
Tu Ran: Well, Nancheng is fine for now, he just needs to rest.
Chen Yingli: Ah, that shouldn’t be a big deal. Xiu is probably on a mysterious mission. You don’t have to worry about it. He might come back someday.
Tu Ran: Okay.
But despite that, Shen Yingli comforted Tu Ruen and still called Nie Xiu.
But the call couldn't be connected.
She sent another message.
Chen Yingli: Xiu, where have you been? When will you be back in Xiangcheng?
Chen Yingli: I asked on behalf of Tu Ran, and she said she couldn’t contact you.
At this moment, Nie Xiu was on the top of a snowy mountain thousands of miles away.
