Chapter 47: Not for the Money
The old lady hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Here's what I thought. I'll put the invitations on hold and prepare four gifts. I won't take care of yours and your parents', but I'll pay for your aunt and uncle's. Don't tell them either. As for the Lin family, they'd like to receive two more gifts. Our Xie family wouldn't be short of two gifts."
"Isn't that a bargain for their family?" Xie Nancheng was naturally dissatisfied.
No one is short of money, but the Lin family is clearly taking advantage.
Moreover, he did not care about Tu Ran's situation in the Xie family at all and did such disgusting thing to take advantage of others.
"We just watch Ranran, for no other reason."
The old lady of the Xie family was indeed a very capable person, so Xie Nancheng didn't say anything.
However, since Tu Ran gave her the medicine, the old lady's cough has indeed improved.
He was visibly in high spirits. Tonight, his old cold leg problem had recurred, and Tu Ran was using Chinese medicine massage techniques to clear his meridians. The old man liked his granddaughter-in-law, so he didn't take the Lin family's affairs too seriously.
Xie Nancheng stayed with the old lady for a while before going upstairs.
When he went upstairs, Tu Ran had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed looking at his phone.
"The Lin family is going to hold a birthday banquet."
"Oh." Tu Ran replied absentmindedly.
"Hold a birthday party for your mother Lin." Xie Nancheng emphasized.
Tu Ran frowned slightly, put down his phone and glanced at Xie Nancheng.
"Mother Lin's birthday has already passed."
"So, they are just trying to make money. They sent four invitations to my family: one for me, one for my parents, one for Xie Huailan, and one for Xie Huaishan."
Tu Ran was slightly startled, and his expression did not look very good.
"I invited you in Lin Chen's name."
"You don't have to go." Tu Ran looked at Xie Nancheng calmly.
"Do you think it's possible? Just based on your relationship with the Lin family, how can we not go? That would be a joke."
"If you're afraid of being laughed at, then there's nothing to say. Whatever."
"Didn't anyone tell you about the Lin family?"
Xie Nancheng asked while changing his clothes.
Tu Ran still accepted the man changing clothes in front of him unnaturally, and quickly turned around to look for his cell phone.
"No."
Xie Nancheng curled his lips coldly, "This Lin family is really interesting. They used you to make money and now they don't even tell you a message."
Tu Ran remained silent...
"You and Lin Siyao's betrothal gifts totaled tens of millions. The Lin family has made a lot of money, so why are you still holding birthday banquets? Holding these banquets so frequently, do you really have no shame at all?"
"Go ask Lin Chen, why are you asking me?"
Xie Nancheng: ...
Well, this kind of sarcasm is of no use to Tu Ran.
At this moment, a piece of news popped up on the phone and Tu Ran took a look.
——Popular actress Fu Yunni secretly meets with the heir of the Xie family, one of the most powerful families in Xiangcheng, late at night.
There is a blurry photo below, but the woman's profile is clearly visible.
The man's appearance was deliberately blurred, but judging from his clothes, it was Xie Nancheng.
The two stood at the door of the hotel, both took out their mobile phones, and seemed to be quite intimate.
Actually, it was tonight when we were adding each other on WeChat at the hotel entrance.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a lot of heat.
Fu Yunni is very popular, has many fans, and is a hot topic.
As for Xie Nancheng, a top dignitary, his boss has become increasingly interested in these top wealthy families in recent years.
Soon, it became a hot topic.
Some passersby even questioned, "I heard that this young master of the Xie family is married."
"No way, I haven't heard of any marriage, these are probably just rumors."
"Has Fu Yunni always been single? Did her previous relationship with actor Liu end? Am I the last one to know?"
"Our Yunni doesn't try to scam people or take advantage of others' attention. Take her away."
"Yun Ni should be friends with Mr. Xie. They are probably preparing for a new movie. These media outlets are just making up stories."
For a time, there were all kinds of opinions on the Internet.
Fu Yunni's team did not provide any explanation and allowed the incident to ferment.
Xie Nancheng threw his cell phone on the bed and went into the bathroom.
During this period, someone sent two WeChat messages:
Tu Ran didn't even look at him. She was not interested at all and had a strong sense of boundaries with Xie Nancheng.
——Mr. Xie, are you home?
—Mr. Xie, I'm surrounded by reporters at the hospital and can't get out. Could you please come pick me up? Excuse me, please.
Fu Yunni did go to the hospital to bandage her injured hand.
But when I was about to go out, I found that there were already a lot of paparazzi waiting outside.
She took the opportunity to send two WeChat messages to Xie Nancheng, and when she saw there was no reply, she called him.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
After Xie Nancheng came out of the bathroom, Tu Ran reminded him, "You have a phone call and WeChat, it seems a bit urgent."
Xie Nancheng took a glance and hit back in front of Tu Ran.
Xie Nancheng: I just took a shower and saw the phone.
Fu Yunni: Mr. Xie, I’m sorry to bother you so late. As you know, Fei’er and Mr. Feng should have gone to bed by now. I’m embarrassed to disturb you. I don’t have any other friends in Xiangcheng, so I can only come to you.
Xie Nancheng: I’ll ask my assistant to pick you up later.
When she heard the assistant's words, Fu Yunni was obviously dissatisfied.
Fu Yunni: Mr. Xie... I'm a little scared, can you come and accompany me?
Fu Yunni's voice was a little choked. At this time, any ordinary man would be gentle and considerate to women.
Tu Ran actually heard it very clearly because they were close to each other, but she was not interested and continued to watch her own video.
Xie Nancheng: Wait a minute, I’ll be there now.
Fu Yunni was immediately overjoyed: Mr. Xie, you are such a nice person.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Nancheng glanced at Tu Ran and said, "Put on your clothes and follow me."
"Where are you going?"
"Go chase stars."
"Not interested." Tu Ran refused.
"Hurry up, don't dawdle, I just have something to tell you."
"Come back and tell me if you have anything to say."
"Tu Ran..."
"It's so cold outside. I want to go out. Who's to blame if I catch a cold?" Tu Ran tilted his head and said confidently.
"Fifty thousand yuan."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'll pay you 50,000 yuan if you accompany me on a trip." The boss finally agreed to the temptation of money.
"You think you're great just because you're rich..."
"One hundred thousand, I'll transfer it to you via WeChat right away." The boss took out his mobile phone and transferred the money directly via WeChat.
"I'm not doing this for money. I just think it's not safe for you to go out alone at night. I'm afraid grandma will worry, so I'm accompanying you."
Tu Ran put on his clothes and continued to chatter behind him.
Xie Nancheng wanted to laugh out loud, thinking, if it wasn’t for the money, would you be willing to come out with me?
This woman is so funny...
Tu Ran is not a greedy person, but it doesn't make sense for him to refuse the money even if he has it.
She is the only one in the Xie family who has no job and no income, so it is right for her to save some money for herself.
If I return to Phoenix Ridge in the future, I can renovate the thatched house to make it more comfortable.
Halfway through the journey, Xie Nancheng was driving and she was sitting in the passenger seat.
"The Lin family's birthday banquet is tomorrow night. You will come with me then."
"Can I not go?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Tu Ran remained silent...
"Go buy some new clothes tomorrow. You don't have many anyway."
"You're not going to ask your Secretary Jin to accompany me again, are you?"
Xie Nancheng couldn't help laughing, "Why, are you not satisfied?"
"You misunderstood, Mr. Xie. It's your secretary who is dissatisfied with me."
"Take my card and choose for yourself."
"By the way, the Lin family seems to be short of money recently. Lin Chen is cashing out everywhere. When you first entered the Lin family, did your grandfather give you any dowry or something? I guess Lin Chen is going to sell it off."
Tu Ran was suddenly shocked...
"If you want anything, I'll buy it for you."
Xie Nancheng held the steering wheel and spoke nonchalantly, but Tu Ran didn't know whether his words were a test or not?
Only the people in the Lin family knew about the dowry given by her grandfather, and she had never mentioned a word to Xie Nancheng.
"I'm asking you a question, but you're speechless." The boss was a little impatient.
