Chapter 34: Showing off
Xie Nancheng's words caused Lin Chen on the other end of the phone to remain silent for several seconds.
Lin Chen: "Mr. Xie?"
Xie Nancheng: "It's me."
Lin Chen: "Where's Ranran?"
Xie Nancheng: "She is not available to answer the phone. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I am her husband."
Lin Chen's expression changed slightly, especially when he heard Xie Nancheng say, "I am her husband," he felt very upset.
Lin Chen: "Ah, actually nothing much, just recently my mom..."
Xie Nancheng: "If there's nothing else, don't call anymore. Everyone is busy."
Beep, beep, beep...
Before Lin Chen could finish his words, Xie Nancheng hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Nancheng glanced at Tu Ran beside him.
"Want to know who's calling?"
"In no mood."
Well, this little girl is really calm and composed, she has no curiosity at all.
After breakfast, Xie Huailan and her family did not show up.
The old lady couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Xiaolan and her family come these two days?"
Xie Huaishan, Xie Nancheng's third uncle, and his third aunt looked at each other meaningfully.
"Second sister..."
Before Xie Huaishan could finish his words, Xie Nancheng said, "Second uncle forcibly kissed a female employee. The whole company knows about this. Second aunt even fired the female employee. The employee is now preparing to complain to the president and sue our company. I'm afraid she's too busy to come."
"What?"
In fact, everyone in the Xie family knew about this matter, even Tu Ran, the foreign daughter-in-law, knew about it.
But no one dared to tell the old lady, even though the old lady didn't like her own daughter very much.
But after all, they are blood relatives, so they will probably be worried and angry when they hear it.
"Didn't I tell you not to tell grandma?" Father Xie glanced at Xie Nancheng, looking slightly displeased.
"I've kept it a secret this time, but what about next time? I have a feeling this isn't the first time my second uncle has done this. He's molested female employees before and was blackmailed for a lot of money. If I don't tell anyone about this, will we just pretend it never happened? If it's on the news in a few days, grandma will know about it too."
"Tell me what happened." Old Mrs. Xie pointed at her youngest son Xie Huaishan angrily.
"It's my second brother-in-law in the tea room..." Xie Huaishan said tactfully. After all, he and Xie Huailan were in the same group, so he didn't want to exaggerate the matter and just wanted to downplay it.
"Zhao Hui is so bold."
The old lady was still very angry and slammed the table and cursed.
"He's a son-in-law. Our family doesn't despise him. We respect and care for him in every way. And this is how he repays us? Isn't this shameful?"
"It's definitely embarrassing." Xie Nancheng said with a smile.
"Nancheng, why do I feel like you are gloating?" Xie Huaishan glanced at his nephew.
"Third Uncle, that's a good point. If I cry and scream, will the problem disappear? Whoever made the mistake should bear the consequences. What does it have to do with me? Do I have to be sad for a week if something happens to him?"
Xie Nancheng was quite good at arguing with people. Tu Ran couldn't help but want to laugh, so he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
But from this it seems that the gossip he heard from the servants in the greenhouse was all true.
Tu Ran carefully recalled that Zhao Hui, and he indeed had a dishonest face.
Whenever he sees a young and pretty girl, his eyes always look up.
On the day she got married, when Zhao Hui was toasting, the way he looked at her was not the look of an elder looking at a younger person.
However, these are the Xie family's affairs.
Tu Ran felt that with her ability to protect herself, there would be no conflict between her and Zhao Hui, at least not at the moment.
"Do we have to wait for labor arbitration for this matter? What nonsense! Why don't we just suppress the matter?" Mrs. Xie questioned.
Xie Huaishan immediately threw the blame, "Mom, this matter needs the CEO's decision. Nancheng is the CEO, not me."
"Nancheng, what do you think?" Old Mrs. Xie glanced at her grandson.
"I wanted to deal with it right away, but Second Aunt disagreed. She got really angry and insisted on resolving it herself. If I hadn't stopped her that day, she would have hit the female employee."
"Go call Xiaolan and ask the couple to come over here quickly."
Old Mrs. Xie pointed at her eldest son, Xie Nancheng's father.
"Okay, Mom, I'll call her right away."
"Let's go and do what we need to do." The old lady's good mood was affected by this incident.
"Jiatong, go and comfort grandma."
Third Aunt quickly pushed her daughter forward.
Xie Jiatong is the daughter of my third uncle Xie Huaishan. She is only six years old this year and is in kindergarten.
Although Third Aunt is an actress and is very beautiful, her daughter has not inherited her mother's beauty at all.
Dark, thin, even a little ugly.
Moreover, she has been sick since she was born, going to the hospital every few days and catching a cold easily. She looks listless on weekdays. It cannot be said that the old lady is biased towards boys, but she just doesn't like this granddaughter that much.
First, the old lady of the Xie family doesn’t like her third daughter-in-law, Yang Xin.
Because she came from the entertainment industry, she was involved in a lot of romantic scandals when she was an actress. Her family background was not very good. Not only were her parents divorced, but I heard that she also had a half-brother who was a tattooed and energetic young man.
Second, Yang Xin was a very scheming person. She started scheming as soon as she got married. Relying on the generosity and gentleness of Xie Nancheng's mother, she took advantage of her and took things from both home and outside.
Third, Yang Xin admired the strong and was afraid of whoever was strong. She was also a fence-sitter. Even though her husband had allied with Xie Huailan, she still wanted to please Xie Nancheng and leave a way out. The old lady saw all this clearly.
Fourthly, and most importantly, all she does every day is shopping, drinking, playing cards, traveling and attending ceremonies. The child has been taken care of by a nanny since birth, and she pays very little attention to the child. As a result, the 6-year-old Xie Jiatong still speaks timidly, is timid, and is also sickly. The old lady dislikes her very much, especially Yang Xin.
"Grandma is not angry." The little figure said in a baby voice.
"Tongtong, are you full?" The old lady felt a little soft-hearted when she looked at the child.
"I'm full. I had a bag of Oreos at home. I'm not hungry."
"Giving her snacks again?" The old lady stared at her third daughter-in-law.
Auntie San quickly explained, "Oh, while his father and I were washing up, we didn't keep an eye on him, and he ate a whole bag of biscuits."
"If you educate your child like this, it will kill her sooner or later."
Aunt San glanced at Uncle San, and the couple looked at each other, obviously dissatisfied.
If it weren't for the family property, she really wouldn't bother getting up early to have dinner with the old lady every day.
After the old lady showed her anger, the atmosphere became noticeably heavier.
Everyone dispersed, and Xie Nancheng and his uncle walked out, ready to go to the group.
Xie Huaishan lowered his voice and said deliberately, "There are no cameras in the group's tea room. I really don't know how this video got leaked. It's strange."
Xie Nancheng paused and looked back at his uncle.
"Third uncle is right. At first glance, I thought the video was an AI synthesis. I didn't know Second Uncle was really that kind of person. If he hadn't admitted it himself, I would have hired a team of lawyers to sue that female employee and seek justice for Second Uncle. Eh? Third uncle, you didn't do the same as him, did you?"
Xie Huaishan was stunned after hearing this. He had originally wanted to ask some questions, but now he had the chance to hear what his nephew had to say.
