Chapter 1218: A sudden turn of events (Part 2)
When Xie Nancheng heard this, he became furious.
"Tu Ran, are you crazy?"
"We've been married for so long, don't we have this little bit of trust?"
"Are you asking me this because you don't trust my character? How evil would I be if I thought that?"
"No, I just..." Tu Ran wanted to explain.
But Xie Nancheng stopped him, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't understand Gu Xixing, but I understand my own wife."
"I was just worried about your safety during the days you were kidnapped."
“I didn’t think about anything else.”
"I won't care, and you don't need to care either."
"I just blame myself. At the critical moment, I was unable to protect you and the child..."
"I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for our children."
Xie Nancheng gritted his teeth, tears in his eyes.
Although the child is in Tu Ran's belly, Xie Nancheng's expectations and love for the child are no less than Tu Ran's.
At first, he didn't even dare to hope that Tu Ran would be willing to give birth to the child.
He was pleasantly surprised to learn later that she wanted to keep the child.
But I dare not be too proud, for fear that excessive joy will lead to sorrow.
When Tu Ran was kidnapped, he was always worried about the safety of mother and child.
In the end, I watched the child die with my own eyes.
Bleeding...
He only hated that he was a mortal and had no super powers to protect his wife and children.
"Don't say that. It's not your fault."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"I want to talk to her alone."
Nie Xiu was wearing a black Mao suit and standing at the door with a mature look.
Facing this person from the Nie family.
Xie Nancheng felt extremely oppressed.
But he looked at Tu Ran.
Tu Ran nodded and said, "I want to talk to Mr. Nie for a while, you can leave first."
"Um."
Xie Nancheng reluctantly stood up and walked out.
Nie Xiu slowly walked to the bedside.
He pulled over a chair and sat down.
Tu Ran wanted to get up. After all, it was impolite and uncomfortable to talk to people while lying down.
But as soon as she moved, she started coughing violently.
“Cough cough cough…”
"Just lie down and listen to me." Nie Xiu said expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nie." Tu Ran could only lie down and listen.
"Your child was miscarried," he said.
Tu Ran was silent.
"Your good friend Gu Xixing is also dead." he added.
Tu Ran was heartbroken. "Boss Nie, if you're here to stab me, there's no need... I know they're all gone."
"Prick your heart?"
"Are you kidding me?"
“I don’t like doing meaningless things.”
"The reason why I told you these two things."
"Because..."
"I have a remedy."
"What do you mean?" Tu Ran's eyelids twitched and his eyes widened.
She keenly sensed the hope behind Nie Xiu's words.
Nie Xiu looked at her face calmly, "What I mean is, I have the ability to save them."
"What?" Tu Ran felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and he was extremely shocked.
But she also knew that Nie Xiu was not someone who could joke around, and wouldn't joke about such things.
"Mr. Nie...I..." Tu Ran was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Mr. Nie, what are your conditions?" She tried hard to restrain herself and suppress the great surprise in her heart.
"I told you to leave Xie Nancheng and marry me, do you agree?" Nie Xiu said coldly.
Tu Ran suddenly fell silent...
"Okay, I'm not that boring."
"I don't want a woman who's been married twice. Even if you want to marry me, I can't have you. Forget about it."
"Boss Nie, if you can really win them back, I'm willing to kowtow to you."
"Do you need to kowtow and kneel down?" Nie Xiu almost rolled his eyes.
"In short, I will never forget your kindness. I thank you and I kowtow to you now..."
Tu Ran was so excited that he tried to get up.
"Don't move, lie down." Nie Xiu ordered with a gloomy face.
"Don't be too happy too soon."
"Just listen to what I have to say."
"Okay, you say." Tu Ran nodded.
"I can't save both your child and Gu Xixing."
"The resurrection technique, which brings the dead back to life, is a forbidden technique."
"I can't do that. I don't know any spells."
"But those old men I know in Kunlun can."
"But they are only willing to take action once..." Nie Xiu said very tactfully.
Tu Ran understood immediately.
He asked slowly, "It's a choice between two, right?"
Nie Xiu nodded, "Yes, choose one of the two. Make your choice."
"Between your child and Gu Xixing."
"You choose one, and I'll let the old man take action."
Tu Ran fell silent again...
This is indeed an extremely difficult choice and one that tests human nature in particular.
Gu Xixing died to protect her, and she felt extremely guilty.
The child is also her and Xie Nancheng's flesh and blood. It has been in her belly for many days. Mother and child are connected by heart, and she really wants to keep it.
but……
If you have to choose one of the two, you will be really stumped.
"Mr. Nie, can I consider it?"
"Okay, one hour." Nie Xiu said coldly.
"good."
Then Nie Xiu stood up.
"Mr. Nie..." Tu Ran called him.
Nie Xiu paused but didn't look back.
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Mr. Nie, for all your help." Tu Ran said word by word.
Nie Xiu said nothing and walked away.
After Nie Xiu went out, Xie Nancheng came back again.
Tu Ran told Xie Nancheng about this matter.
Xie Nancheng calmed down and thought for a long time.
Said to Tu Ran, "I support any choice you make, any one."
Tu Ran's lips were dry, and she choked, "Nancheng, I probably won't choose our child."
"I know." Xie Nancheng seemed to have guessed it long ago.
Guessed that Tu Ran was willing to save Gu Xixing.
After all, the baby hasn't come into the world yet.
And the child will have opportunities in the future, maybe there will be more.
But Gu Xixing's death was a huge blow to the Gu family and to her personally.
Especially since Gu Xixing died because of her, that feeling of guilt will haunt her for the rest of her life.
"Then you don't hate me?"
Xie Nancheng shook his head, "No, I said I will respect your choice."
"But...that doesn't mean I don't care about our children."
"Ranran, I love her just as much as you do." Xie Nancheng also choked up.
In the end, the couple hugged each other and cried bitterly.
An hour later.
When facing Nie Xiu again.
Tu Ran said, "I've made up my mind, Mr. Nie. I'll save Gu Xixing."
"Have you thought it through? Once you make a decision, you can't go back on it."
"Yes, I choose to save Gu Xixing." Tu Ran said.
"For the sake of your friends, you don't even care about your own children?" Nie Xiu was a little confused. Perhaps he was a selfish person and didn't have many friends, so he couldn't understand this kind of friendship between friends.
"I don't regret choosing Gu Xixing." Tu Ran said in a firm tone.
"But I must remind you that after you are rescued, Gu Xixing will forget everything about you... From now on, you will be a stranger to him, and there will be no memory of you in his memory."
"It's okay, I accept it." Tu Ran said.
"He won't know that it was you who saved her." Nie Xiu reminded.
"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter. He doesn't need to remember me. As long as my friend is alive and well." Thinking of the days they spent together in Phoenix Ridge, she really felt that Gu Xixing had a hard time too. He was too obsessed and was actually in great pain afterwards, but Tu Ran couldn't help at all.
Now that she has the chance to save her friend, of course she would like to see it.
What does it matter if I don’t remember her?
As long as he is alive and living well in this world, that's enough.
Tu Ran's choice immediately made Nie Xiu jealous.
He suddenly said, "If it were me, and I died, would you be willing to give up your child and save me?"
Tu Ran was slightly stunned after hearing this.
