Chapter 120: A grudge against money
After listening to this, Tu Ran paused for a second and then shook his head.
"You really didn't see it?"
"No, did you see anything?"
Xie Nancheng was silent for three seconds before he whispered, "I just saw a dark shadow whizz past my mother's head and run away. I wonder if it was due to dazzle?"
"Mom's going to be fine."
This time the boss didn't insist and nodded, "I saw you lighting something your classmate gave you, and then Mom woke up. It's really amazing."
"Don't you think it's a coincidence? Mom woke up on her own, and we're playing tricks?" Tu Ran asked deliberately.
"Is that how you look at me?" Xie Nancheng frowned.
"No, I'm just asking."
Just as Xie Nancheng was about to say something, Aunt Ping knocked on the door, "Master Nancheng, the ambulance is here, you need to go to the hospital with us."
"Yes, I'll go."
With that, Xie Nancheng turned and walked out.
Tu Ran followed him and said, "I'll go too."
Xie Nancheng always felt that Tu Ran was cold-hearted, selfish, and lacked any warmth.
But actually, it wasn't like that. She was just not good at expressing herself, but she knew how the Xie family treated her.
Xie Nancheng's mother, as the first lady in the Nancheng ladies' circle, is not the evil mother-in-law in the legend.
There is no such thing as breaking up a couple and stirring up trouble every year as in the novels about overbearing CEOs.
On the contrary, he was always gentle to her, and Tu Ran remembered it in her heart.
"No, it's enough that you have this intention."
"I'll see what's going on. Maybe if the examination is fine, we'll all go home and not stay in the hospital."
"Okay." She nodded.
"Well, if you're tired, take a shower and rest."
"good."
After saying that, Xie Nancheng turned and walked out.
Tu Ran had a very special feeling in his heart, which was hard to describe.
It was obvious that she and Xie Nancheng didn't get along very well and often quarreled with each other.
He looked down on her and she looked down on him.
But today seemed a little special, especially when Xie Nancheng gave her instructions just now.
It really feels like a husband giving instructions to his wife. It's an indescribable feeling.
On the contrary, Tu Ran would feel weird and uncomfortable.
Back in the master bedroom, she took a shower and washed her hair.
When I finished cleaning up and went to bed, I found several WeChat messages on my phone.
The first one was sent by Xie Nancheng.
Xie Nancheng: Mom, everything is fine after the examination. Just rest for a while and we will go back. Don’t worry.
Tu Ran replied: OK.
The second message was from Mu Wanjun.
Mu Wanjun: How is it? How is the effect?
Tu Ran replied: It should be fine, thank you.
Mu Wanjun: What are you thanking me for? It’s just a piece of cake. You’re smart to come to me.
Tu Ran replied with a smiley face and said nothing more.
The third message was sent by Gu Xixing.
Gu Xixing: I wonder if you’ve slept yet?
Tu Ran: Not yet.
Gu Xixing: I looked at the list of participants, you are not on it.
Tu Ran: Ah, about that matter, I indeed didn’t sign up.
Thinking of the Centennial Prize Competition held by Chengtian Group that has recently caused a sensation in the city.
Gu Xixing: I’m so sorry. Why don’t you participate? Do you have a grudge against money?
Tu Ran was amused and burst out laughing.
Tu Ran: No one has a grudge against money, okay? You're talking as if I can win the prize just by participating in the competition.
Gu Xixing: If you want to participate, of course you can.
Tu Ran: It’s not good to use the backdoor access through friendships. It’s unfair to other opponents.
Gu Xixing: Do you think I’m giving you a backdoor?
Tu Ran: What else?
Gu Xixing: Classmate Tu, you really have no confidence in yourself. Can't you break through by relying on your own strength?
Tu Ran: I can't do that. There are so many experts this time. There are always people better than you, and there are always better things. How can I be so blindly confident?
Gu Xixing: It seems that you don’t have a clear understanding of yourself.
Tu Ran: I do have it, but you overestimated me.
Gu Xixing: No, it’s precisely you who underestimated yourself.
Tu Ran: The emoticon shows an awkward smile.
Gu Xixing: Are you really not going to think about it carefully? This competition is very fair. There are so many judges from different professional fields. I can't have the final say alone. Don't feel burdened. I won't take care of you.
Tu Ran: I really haven’t thought about it yet, mainly because I don’t have any works that I can show off.
Gu Xixing: Don’t worry, the deadline is still a week away. You still have time. If you change your mind, you can come anytime. We welcome you at Chengtian.
Tu Ran: Okay.
Gu Xixing: There is one more thing, Mr. Tu.
Tu Ran: You say.
Gu Xixing: I want to eat fish.
Tu Ran immediately realized that he still owed the other person a meal.
I must never forget the kindness of Subject Three.
Tu Ran: No problem, when do you want to eat?
Gu Xixing: How about you come after school tomorrow night?
Tu Ran: Sure.
Gu Xixing: I'll drive to pick you up.
Tu Ran: No, your license plate number is too obvious and I don’t want other classmates to criticize me.
Gu Xixing: Then should I ask the driver to take another car?
Tu Ran: Really, no need. I’ll take a taxi myself. You decide the location.
Gu Xixing: Okay, I’ll send you the location tomorrow.
Tu Ran: Okay.
Gu Xixing was very happy that the dinner appointment was successful.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
But he was indeed surprised that Tu Ran did not participate in this competition.
In his heart, he hoped that she would participate, because he always felt that she would produce amazing works, although he didn't know why he had this intuition?
Maybe it's because I've been around people for so long that it's rare to see that purity and simplicity in someone?
Today's society is too impetuous. In this world of materialism, people's hearts are changeable and complicated.
It's rare to find a girl who isn't attracted by money and status.
She clearly knew that she was the boss of Chengtian Pharmaceutical. Although her status and position could not compare with the prosperous Xie family, she was still one of the top ten richest people in Xiangcheng.
Such a person, however, could not make the girl have any thoughts.
And I heard that after she married into the Xie family, she also traveled in a low-key manner. Gu Xixing admired this very much.
"Brother, who are you texting?"
Gu Huan sat down next to his brother and looked around.
"No one." Gu Xixing put away his phone calmly.
"If you don't believe me, let me see."
"It's so impolite to look at other people's phones." Gu Xixing looked at his sister.
"Tsk, you're feeling guilty, aren't you? Did you send a WeChat message to a girl? Who was it? Was it Wu Yue?"
"no."
"Brother, don't you like Wu Yue?"
"She really likes you, very much."
"I don't like it." Gu Xixing refused directly.
"So, do you have other girls you like?"
This time, Gu Xixing did not refuse immediately, but hesitated for a few seconds and was about to speak.
"You must have it, right?"
"Eyes don't lie, brother. You hesitated just now. Haha, you're exposed. You can't hide it anymore."
Gu Xixing: ...
"Oh my God, brother, do you really have a lover? Who is it, who is it?" Gu Huan felt like he had discovered a new world.
"What's your name? Do I know you?"
"Whose daughter is she? Is she pretty? How long have you known each other?"
