Chapter 38: If you show kindness without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief
"There's really no need to apologize. Second Aunt is the elder, and it's not logical for her to apologize to a younger person.
"But you have to show your appreciation after losing, right? The watch on Second Aunt's hand is nice. Why not give it to Ranran as a small gift to thank her for curing grandma's illness. Of course, if Second Aunt is reluctant to give it to you, just pretend I didn't say anything." Xie Nancheng said lightly.
Xie Huailan was almost fuming with rage… Wasn’t it enough to get slapped in the face? He even wanted to blackmail her for her Vacheron Constantin watch?
Just as Xie Huailan was about to refuse, she heard the old lady say, "Okay, it's settled. Ranran rarely likes it, so Lanlan, you can give it to the younger generation. You don't need a watch."
"Mom, this is..." Xie Huailan felt a tightness in her chest. It was not enough that she was slapped in the face, but she was also blackmailed for her watch.
"Hey, I didn't say I wanted a watch." Tu Ran pulled Xie Nancheng's sleeve and whispered.
Asking for things proactively is not a good habit and is not her style.
"What? You think one watch is not enough?" Xie Nancheng deliberately questioned Tu Ran loudly.
Tu Ran: ...
Tu Ran immediately cursed Xie Nancheng a hundred times in his heart. This man was really interrupting the king on purpose.
"It's a lot, wife. Our second aunt's watch is a limited edition and is worth an apartment in the Third Ring Road." Xie Nancheng smiled proudly.
"Why don't you thank Second Aunt quickly?" Xie Nancheng gave her a look.
Tu Ran naturally knew that this guy was deliberately trying to trick Xie Huailan, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
The atmosphere has been set to this point, and we have no choice but to give it.
The main reason is that the old lady has spoken, and Xie Huailan is forced to do it.
I could only take off my watch with a sullen face and throw it over rudely.
Xie Nancheng immediately took it over, "I also thank Second Aunt on Ranran's behalf. Then let's put the bet aside. A harmonious family brings prosperity, right?"
"Yes, a harmonious family brings prosperity." Xie Huailan almost gritted her teeth as she said the last five words.
Uncle San and his wife didn't dare to say anything more. After all, the situation turned around too quickly.
Originally, the uncle and his wife wanted to help Xie Huailan drive away this niece-in-law.
But now, not only did I not get rid of him, but I was also blackmailed for a watch.
Xie Huailan was in no mood to eat dinner that day and left with her husband cursing.
Uncle San's family also found an excuse to leave, leaving Xie Nancheng and his eldest family alone in peace.
Tu Ran had just taken two bites when he received a phone call.
It was Mrs. Lin calling, and there was a caller ID.
Tu Ran stood up and walked to the side before answering the phone.
Tu Ran: "Mother Lin."
Mrs. Lin: "Of course, have you eaten?"
Tu Ran: “Just ate.”
Mrs. Lin: "Oh, stop eating now, my car is right outside the Xie family's door."
Tu Ran: ? ?
Mrs. Lin: "We've prepared your favorite shepherd's purse buns at home. I'm here to pick you up for dinner."
Tu Ran: "Mother Lin, this..."
Mrs. Lin: "I know this may be a bit presumptuous, but Dad and I just miss you. You've lived in our home for four years, and now you're gone. We're not used to it. When I passed by your room today, I felt... I can't describe the feeling. I almost cried."
Tu Ran sneered without leaving a trace. What Mrs. Lin said couldn't be more false, but Tu Ran didn't want to expose it.
Mrs. Lin: "Of course, can you give your mother some face?"
Mrs. Lin: "Mom just wanted to treat you to dinner, and also to apologize for what happened to Yaoyao a few days ago."
Mrs. Lin: "The car is outside the door. Mom is waiting for you."
Well, now that things have come to this, how can Tu Ran not go?
She could only say a few words to her family.
"Grandma, Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, Mom Lin is here to pick me up for dinner. She said she made my favorite buns, and the car is right outside the door, so I can't eat with you."
"Mrs. Lin is quite interesting." Mrs. Xie was a little puzzled.
"Nancheng, you should go with us. It's so late, it's cold outside and the roads are slippery." said Mrs. Xie.
"No, grandma, I can do it myself."
Tu Ran refused directly, which made the boss very unhappy.
"She's going back to her parents' house for dinner, why should I join in the fun?" Xie Nancheng didn't even look at Tu Ran.
"Then I'll go out first. Grandma, remember to soak your feet tonight."
"Okay, okay."
The old lady now likes her granddaughter-in-law no matter how she looks at her.
As soon as Tu Ran went out, he saw Mrs. Lin's black Mercedes parked on the side of the road.
Then I got into her car. Fortunately, it wasn’t Lin Chen who came to pick me up.
Mrs. Lin didn't say anything on the way, just chatted about family matters and spoke occasionally.
All the way to the Lin family.
Tu Ran just realized that there were only the Lin couple.
Lin Siyao is not here, and Lin Chen is not here either, which is great.
"Ranran, come here, your favorite shepherd's purse buns. I asked the nanny to make a lot of them."
"Thank you, Mother Lin."
"Your mother Lin missed you so much. She was angry when she came back from the hospital that day and said she was sorry for you." Father Lin also responded appropriately.
"No, everyone was just impulsive that day."
Tu Ran knew that the couple didn't want to break up with her. If she simply ignored them, there might be other troubles. It would be better to just play along and see what they would do next.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
She still understands that it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.
"Of course, don't blame Yaoyao. Her mood has been changing a lot recently."
"Ah, it's also because of that Peng Yuan. He has a lot of women outside and doesn't come home all day."
"Yaoyao is feeling depressed."
"That's why she took it out on us, her closest family members. She wouldn't do this to outsiders."
"I know, Mother Lin, I don't care." In fact, Tu Ran didn't care much about Lin Siyao.
"Come on, let's eat first. Ranran, I bought you your favorite juice."
Mr. Lin took out a bottle of imported grape juice and attentively filled Tu Ran's glass.
In fact, even though they had raised her for four years, they had no idea what she liked.
She doesn't like this grape juice either.
It’s just because Lin Siyao likes to drink it, so her family often buys it. She has no choice, right?
But none of this matters. What matters is that she sees that the couple has ulterior motives.
It’s definitely not as simple as helping Lin Siyao apologize to her.
"Ranran, how are you and Nancheng doing?"
"It's okay. He's quite busy and not often at home. He only comes back at night."
"Oh, you are someone's wife now, you need to be more careful. Nancheng is the man that many women in our Xiangcheng dream of. You have to hold on to him and don't be seduced away by those little fairies outside." Mother Lin advised.
Tu Ran smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Don't you think Yaoyao is an example?"
"Peng Yuan doesn't come home all day, and Yaoyao is guarding a mansion of several hundred square meters all by herself. What's the point? If you ask me, you should seize the opportunity and give birth to a child for Nancheng first, so that you can gain a firm foothold."
"Mother Lin, having a child isn't something you can just do. It depends on fate."
"Of course, I have a friend who has a secret recipe. Mom will get some for you. She said that if you take it, you will definitely have a son."
