Chapter 458: What is he afraid of?
After being stunned for a long time, Xie Nancheng came back to his senses.
Lu Zhiang probably guessed his reaction and did not continue to put pressure on him.
"When did she...come back?"
"Three days ago."
"Then... where is that person?" Every word was extremely difficult. No one except Lu Zhiang could deeply understand Xie Nancheng's feelings.
"Still in Beijing."
"He said he was going to meet a friend."
Hearing that Lu Xuan'er was still in Beijing, Xie Nancheng's mood immediately improved a lot, and he felt temporarily relieved.
But everyone has returned to their country, and Beijing is not far from here.
Lu Xuan'er is very close and will arrive in Xiangcheng sooner or later.
Maybe it will be a few days later, or maybe it will be tonight. There are too many unpredictable factors.
"Did she come back alone?"
"Where are your parents?" Xie Nancheng asked again.
Lu Zhiang then sighed slightly, "My parents didn't come back, she ran back secretly."
"My parents recently took charge of the business over there, so they're coming back with me."
"Especially my mother. You know she almost died giving birth to Xuan'er, so she doted on her... If it weren't for my mother's determination not to give up all these years, I'm afraid Xuan'er wouldn't be alive today."
Xie Nancheng nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.
For him, the more he talked about Lu Xuan'er, the more pressure he felt.
"Does Tu Ran know?"
"Xuan'er." Lu Zhiang mentioned Tu Ran.
"I told her once, but I didn't explain much. After all, Xuan'er and I didn't have much of a relationship, and her crazy behavior was from her youth. I even thought she would never return."
“So I didn’t tell my wife much.”
"Do you want to tell Tu Ran about her return?" Lu Zhiang also felt that it was a hidden danger.
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's see."
After discussing this matter, Xie Nancheng was no longer in the mood to continue drinking.
I drove back to Tianyi Pavilion in a hurry.
When he came back, Tu Ran was painting.
He walked over, stood behind her, and watched quietly.
"Are you back?" Tu Ran didn't turn around, but his voice was very soft.
"I didn't know my wife was so talented. She can even do ink painting."
"I just learned it online and made a fool of myself."
What Tu Ran painted was very simple, two lotus flowers.
Except for the light pink color of the flower bud, the rest are black and white.
But it was indeed very high-end. Xie Nancheng was not interested in these things, but he could see that she was not just learning from the Internet. The proficiency of her brushstrokes was definitely not that of a novice, but he did not expose her.
“I’m so good at this just after learning it.”
“My wife is awesome.”
"Stop flattering me." Tu Ran put down his paintbrush and stretched his muscles.
Xie Nancheng naturally placed his hands on her shoulders and gave her a gentle massage.
The technique is very unprofessional, but full of innovation.
"Did you eat anything tonight?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Do you want to eat something?" Tu Ran thought he was hungry.
"I've eaten at Old Lu's."
"Then why don't you take a shower?" Tu Ran knew that the boss had to take a shower no matter how late he came back. The boss's love of cleanliness also made Tu Ran, a medical student, very happy. If he had been replaced by a sloppy one, they would not have been able to get along so happily until today.
"No hurry, I'll stay with you for a while."
He said he was with me, but his eyes were actually wandering.
When Tu Ran turned around, he could tell at a glance that Xie Nancheng was absent-minded.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"No." The boss refused to admit it.
"You think you can fool me?"
"Oh...it's actually not a big deal." Xie Nancheng sighed slightly.
"Is it about Dad?"
"Didn't you talk to him last time?" Tu Ran thought it was about Xie's father.
Xie Nancheng continued the topic vaguely, "Well, we did talk about it, but I feel like my dad didn't take my words to heart. He's still with that woman. I've been keeping an eye on him."
"Although it hasn't crossed the line, you know it."
"How lethal is Bai Yueguang to old men?"
"Is there something wrong with that woman?" Tu Ran asked a key point.
Xie Nancheng kissed Tu Ran's forehead in admiration. "How are you so smart? I did investigate. Although she seems to be fine, at least there is no evidence to prove that she has any problems, but I believe her appearance is definitely not accidental."
"Is it Xie Huailan's work?" Tu Ran asked.
"Sometimes my way of thinking about things is... everyone thinks this way, but I go the other way. In other words, I doubt this is Xie Huailan's work."
"Then it must be someone else." Tu Ran was not surprised.
The Xie family has such a large business and deep roots, and has offended many people in the business world over the years.
In addition to those within the family, it is not impossible that someone outside took action.
"So what are you going to do next?" Tu Ran asked him.
"Let's see. I haven't made up my mind yet. Mainly because that guy is my dad. If he were my son, I'd give him a good smack."
Tu Ran: ...
Finally, the boss said, "I can't hit my dad, right?"
Tu Ran replied, "Even if he's your son, you can't hit him. Either you use violence or you solve the problem."
Seeing her so serious, Xie Nancheng was amused.
The haze along the way disappeared in an instant.
He held Tu Ran's face with a smile in his eyes.
"Wife, I understand."
"If our son doesn't behave in the future, you will take care of him, okay?"
"I'm really just violent and unreasonable."
"You're already protecting your son before he's even born. You're amazing."
Xie Nancheng suddenly became happy because Tu Ran talked about their future children.
Finally, there was a little light on the boss's gloomy face.
"You're crazy! Who said that? I was just making an analogy." Tu Ran felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't explain. I understand you. You want to give me a son."
Tu Ran: ...
"Xie Nancheng, are you sick?"
"Don't you know whether there's something wrong with me or not? Do you want me to prove it to you right now with my actions?"
"Go take a shower." Tu Ran pushed him hard in anger.
The push gave Xie Nancheng a stagger.
Tu Ran stood up to put away the painting, and just as he was about to take it away, Xie Nancheng grabbed his hand.
"Wife, can you sell me this painting?"
"Sell?" Tu Ran was a little confused.
"Well, I like your painting very much. I want to buy it."
"You're crazy..."
Before Tu Ran could finish her words, the big guy kissed her delicate little mouth.
Tu Ran blushed instantly.
"Will you sell it for five hundred thousand?"
"You're sick..."
Baji, another mouthful.
"If you don't sell it, I'll keep kissing you."
"I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you."
Someone was kissed so hard that he was dizzy and couldn't hide the sweetness in his heart.
The painting was still coaxed away by the big guy.
Xie Nancheng carefully put away the painting and took it to the study.
Five minutes later, Tu Ran received a payment notification on his bank card.
——Dear customer, a total of RMB 500,000 has been credited to your bank card account at XX Bank.
The note is slightly funny - money to buy paintings.
"Xie Nancheng, are you serious?" Tu Ran went to the boss angrily to argue.
I found that he had already gone into the bathroom.
The sound of running water was so loud that I couldn't hear what she was saying outside.
It's impossible to rush in and question them, right?
However, Tu Ran did not neglect the most important issue.
Xie Nancheng was preoccupied and worried tonight.
It’s definitely not as simple as his father’s matter. He seems to be...afraid of something?
But what was he afraid of? Was he afraid of the big fish behind Xie Huailan?
