Chapter 118: No Apology Accepted
Tu Ran turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I left dinner for you. It's in the kitchen."
"No, I've already eaten."
After saying that, Tu Ran turned around and went upstairs without saying anything else.
Xie Nancheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Where did this uncomfortable feeling come from?
First, he didn't go to the test site for the third subject, and he felt a little guilty.
Second, knowing that Gu Xixing was gone, I felt even more upset.
Third, he kindly said he had left some food for her, but she threw a tantrum and refused to eat?
"Are all women so temperamental? They're spoiled." The big man complained to himself.
But, I couldn't help but get up and follow him upstairs.
Tu Ran was just wearing home clothes when Xie Nancheng came in.
"How did your test go today?"
"It went very smoothly." Tu Ran said.
"You're not angry with me, are you?" Xie Nancheng glanced at Tu Ran's calm face.
"Why should I be angry with you?" Tu Ran felt puzzled.
"Because I didn't go with you to take the exam today."
"Did you say you would accompany me today?" Tu Ran asked back.
Boss: ...
"I didn't go with you because something happened to Mom today."
"What's wrong with Mom?" Tu Ran asked.
"My blood pressure suddenly became very high, but I took blood pressure medication and now I'm fine."
"Oh, that's good."
"You don't seem to care much about my family." Seeing that Tu Ran didn't say anything, Xie Nancheng was not very satisfied.
"Do your family still need my care? The Xie family can get whatever they want in Xiangcheng."
"You're right, but those are all material things. My mother treats you well, right, Tu Ran? I find you quite heartless. My mother is not feeling well, and you just asked about it, but are you just perfunctory?" Xie Nancheng seemed to be looking for trouble.
Tu Ran was slightly startled, "No, I asked just now."
"You just asked."
"If it was your own mother, you would never react like this. Perhaps even if it was Mrs. Lin, you would ask a few more questions, right?"
"Xie Nancheng, do you want to quarrel?" Tu Ran put down the clothes in his hands and was about to wash them.
But now the two of them were becoming more and more unhappy, and they seemed to have no mood to do laundry.
"I'm picking on you? Just understand, when you came back, I said I had saved some food for you. And you were so cold that you said no."
"That's because I'm really full." Tu Ran explained.
"You just don't care, right? You think everything in our family has nothing to do with you, right?"
Perhaps because Gu Xixing was at the scene, he was jealous and every word he said was sarcastic.
Tu Ran was a little angry, "If you think so, then it's up to you."
After saying that, he turned and went into the bathroom to wash clothes.
Xie Nancheng stood in the room, not knowing what to do.
In fact, his original intention was to explain to her why he didn't go today.
But maybe it's because his status and position since he was a child made him too arrogant, so he doesn't know how to coax others at all.
I wanted to coax someone, but ended up making them angry.
But that wasn't his original intention...
After standing there awkwardly for a while, Xie Nancheng mustered up the courage to walk over to the bathroom door.
"When will you take the fourth subject?"
"About three to five days."
"You'll get your driver's license on the same day you finish the fourth test. I'll take you to buy a car then."
"No."
"You said that, is it really not necessary?"
"Yes, no need."
"Are you going to see grandma?"
"No need, grandma. You don't need to worry about my affairs, Mr. Xie."
"It's up to you. I don't care." After repeatedly hitting a wall, Xie Nancheng went to the study with a proud and arrogant attitude.
Tu Ran really didn't think much about it. It was impossible to ask the old lady to use money to buy a car. She would not rely on the elderly.
Originally, I planned to let Xie Nancheng buy it, but because of the hangover soup incident that day, the boss gave me 500,000 yuan.
Adding the red envelopes given by the Xie family before, he had a lot of miscellaneous money.
Tu Ran didn't have any high requirements for the car, so he planned to buy one himself, which was better than troublesome others.
After all, she is still an outsider in this family.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and she doesn't want to be so spineless.
But in Xie Nancheng's opinion, Tu Ran was just angry with him, and he was too lazy to coax her.
After washing the clothes, Tu Ran went to the master bedroom upstairs, which was Mrs. Xie's room.
Mrs. Xie was lying in bed all day because she was not feeling well.
Father Xie also stayed by his side and didn't go anywhere. He even brought the food upstairs when he was eating.
When Tu Ran knocked on the door and came in, the couple was a little surprised.
"Ranran is back?" Mrs. Xie's voice was not loud.
"Nancheng said you were not feeling well, so I came to see you."
"Your mother's blood pressure suddenly rose. Although it came down after she took antihypertensive drugs, she still felt uncomfortable." Father Xie explained.
"Mom, are you still feeling bad now?"
"A little dizzy and nauseous."
"Are there any other symptoms?" Tu Ran asked.
"I'm a little sleepy. I've been napping for a while now. I've fallen asleep many times. It's strange. I'm not usually like this."
"Can I take your pulse?"
"Of course, silly child, please take my pulse. I'm so happy. Come here quickly." Mrs. Xie was naturally happy, which meant that her daughter-in-law cared about her.
The old lady also mentioned today that she wanted Tu Ran to take her pulse.
Tu Ran nodded, walked over and sat beside the bed.
Then he began to take Mrs. Xie's pulse on both wrists.
A few minutes later—
"How is it, Ranran?" Mrs. Xie asked curiously.
"Is your mother not feeling well? Her blood pressure is over 200. I don't know why. She doesn't have a family history of this, and she eats healthily. Her blood pressure has never been this high before."
"What does the hospital say?" Tu Ran first asked the Western doctor for his opinion.
"The hospital said they suspect your mother is suffering from menopausal syndrome."
Tu Ran shook his head. "Menopausal syndrome shouldn't cause blood pressure to be 200. That's too exaggerated."
"Yes, I also think that blood pressure of 200 cannot be menopause." Mrs. Xie herself felt that this statement was not convincing.
"Child, how did you feel about my pulse?"
Ever since Tu Ran cured the old lady's chronic illness, her parents-in-law have gained more trust in her.
Unlike Xie Huailan and Xie Huaishan, they did not look down on her and exclude her.
"Mom's pulse is a little strange, but I can't draw a final conclusion yet. How about this? I'll get some medicine and boil some Chinese medicine for Mom. Let's see how it works."
"Write out the recipe and I'll ask the driver to buy it," said Xie's father.
"No, Dad. I'm afraid the driver won't be able to buy it. I'll go by myself."
"No, it's dark outside. You absolutely can't go alone. I'll let Nancheng go with you."
"No, Dad, I..."
Before Tu Ran could finish his words, Xie's father turned around and called Xie Nancheng.
"It's okay, let Nancheng go with you. He should also have a share of the hard work for my affairs." Mrs. Xie reached out and patted Tu Ran.
Tu Ran just smiled awkwardly, after all, he had just had a quarrel with Xie Nancheng.
Ten minutes later, the two drove out.
Xie Nancheng drives a black Audi A9, which he rarely drives. It is low-key but luxurious.
The boss was not in a good mood and kept pretending to be cool.
"Where can I buy it?" He said in a deliberately cold tone.
"Fu Shou Tang will do."
Fushoutang is the largest Chinese medicine store in Xiangcheng. Although the items are expensive, the quality of the herbs is good and most importantly, there are no fakes.
Tu Ran had tried to buy some online before, but it didn’t work. They were all in poor condition and unusable.
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything, just held the steering wheel.
"Xie Nancheng." She said.
"I don't accept your apology." The boss was still arrogant.
"You think too much. I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?" Tu Ran looked helpless.
"What is it? Tell me."
"Your mother seems to have been poisoned." Tu Ran's voice was not loud, but Xie Nancheng's head buzzed.
