Chapter 498: Barely Coping
Mu Wanjun clapped her hands. "Well said. Since you know that we are just female companions, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to make such a joke?"
"Haha, it turns out Miss Mu is such a person who can't take a joke." Yin Xiuxiu was not convinced at all.
"Hehehe, I didn't know Miss Yin was such a person with no sense of boundaries. She started joking with someone she met for the first time." Mu Wanjun was also very harsh in her words.
"You..." Yin Xiuxiu was so angry.
"Okay, okay, let's have some tea, everyone." Tu Ran felt so embarrassed. Today her husband was the host, so she should maintain the atmosphere.
Tu Ran stood up and took the initiative to pour tea for them.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yin Xiuxiu respected Mrs. Xie very much.
Mu Wanjun glared at the woman and deliberately imitated her tone, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Tu Ran almost spit out...
Gave her a big eye roll and told her to be naughty.
"Let's order some food." Xie Nancheng immediately changed the subject.
Feng Yao didn't even dare to look at Mu Wanjun's expression. He could only whisper to his female companion, "Don't cause trouble for me. Do you hear me?"
"Mind your own business." Yin Xiuxiu didn't give him any face at all and turned her head away.
Lu Zhiang looked calm, just sitting nearby and watching the fun like an outsider.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling better so soon?"
"I heard that you were scared in the hospital that day." Feng Yao made small talk.
"I'm much better now. I just need more sleep."
Tu Ran smiled.
But even if others don’t know the situation, Mu Wanjun must know it.
Tu Ran's injury was to his vital energy, which is the hardest to replenish. How could he be healed so quickly?
While Tu Ran was pouring tea, she reached out her hand to take the man's pulse.
Then, he looked at Tu Ran deeply.
"Tu Tu, you are indeed better."
"Of course I'm fine, otherwise how would I be in the mood to come out and have dinner with you guys?"
Mu Wanjun really wanted to ask how she got better.
But there are so many people here and it’s not suitable to talk about these things, so I have to hold it in for now.
The place Xie Nancheng found was great, six people and twenty-one dishes.
The dishes are not large in size, but they are all extremely rich and taste great.
Except for Tu Ran, everyone present came from a prominent family. What delicious food had they not seen?
But I still ate it with gusto.
Yin Xiuxiu even ate the chicken leg without caring about her image, which was unexpected.
"Can you eat slowly?" Feng Yao gave him a disdainful look.
"Eat your food and leave me alone."
Yin Xiuxiu naturally didn't care about that. She ate the roasted chicken leg happily and didn't care about other people's eyes.
Tu Ran and Mu Wanjun both took a look and could tell that she was not pretending.
She really likes to eat it. Looking at her this way, I don’t think she is that annoying anymore.
Later, Yin Xiuxiu did not take the initiative to attack Mu Wanjun, and Mu Wanjun ignored her.
During the banquet——
"Tu Tu, I want to go to the bathroom."
"Will you come with me?"
"Okay." Tu Ran knew what the girl was going to ask and stood up with a smile.
As soon as they walked out, Yin Xiuxiu complained, "Miss Mu isn't as pretty as the rumors say. When Ling Feier first described her as a young, beautiful female college student, I thought she was pretty. At most, she's just a girl with big eyes and a cute look. She's really not pretty."
After saying that, Yin Xiuxiu glanced at Xie Nancheng. "Xie's sister-in-law is quite attractive. Although she's not a stunning beauty at first glance, the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. She's absolutely stunning from every angle, and she's incredibly elegant. There are rumors out there that she came from the mountains. That's bullshit. Even a rich lady like me looks like a rough man in front of her."
"My sister-in-law really came from the mountains," said Feng Yao.
Yin Xiuxiu was slightly startled...
"You want to flatter someone, and this time you've hit the horse's leg, hahaha." Feng Yao couldn't stop laughing.
"Are you sick? Mr. Xie didn't say anything, why are you talking so much?" Yin Xiuxiu was so angry that she pushed Feng Yao hard.
Lu Zhiang glanced at Xie Nancheng with a complicated expression, "Have you told her?"
Xie Nancheng understood immediately, but also felt guilty.
"No."
"To be honest, I haven't figured out how to say it yet."
"Last night... were you all okay when you guys got home?" Xie Nancheng didn't dare to look into Lao Lu's eyes. If Lao Lu hadn't risked his life to save the situation last night, he really didn't know what would have happened.
The main thing was the scene of Lu Xuan'er falling from the sky. It was too scary and impossible to withstand.
Feng Yao knew what they were talking about, but pretended not to understand. He took out his cell phone and talked to Yin Xiuxiu about other things to distract her attention.
"I'm fine. I can barely cope with it." Lu Zhiang said.
Xie Nancheng felt a pang in his heart after hearing this, because Lu Zhiang was Lu Xuaner's biological brother.
If even he can barely cope, then...
I dare not even think about it.
"I'll find a chance to tell her. Actually, I've already reported it to her before."
"She doesn't mind these things. They are all in the past. It's nothing."
"What I'm worried about is..." Xie Nancheng didn't finish his words.
Lu Zhiang nodded, "I know what you are worried about. To be honest, I am worried about this too."
Xie Nancheng sighed slightly, picked up the wine glass and drank it in small sips.
In the bathroom
Mu Wanjun checked around and made sure there was no suspicious person around before closing the door.
"Do you want to ask how I got better?" Tu Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"yes."
"I can't tell you."
"Ah? Do you distrust me so much?" Mu Wanjun pouted.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't know how to explain it. This experience is rather bizarre, and Xie Nancheng doesn't even know about it, so I don't plan to tell him."
"So you're indeed okay, right?"
"right."
"That's good. I'm happy that you're back to health."
"As for how you recovered, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me." Mu Wanjun could understand.
Tu Ran expected her attitude, so he smiled knowingly.
"How are you and Lu Zhiang doing lately?"
"What's going on?" Mu Wanjun lowered her head and washed her hands.
"Are you still pretending?"
"Sister, I'm not pretending. Oh well... we're just like that... there's no progress anyway."
"What about Bai Yi?" Tu Ran suddenly mentioned another person.
"What's it to him?"
"Ever since Bai Yi found out that you and Feng Yao haven't dated, he seems to be very interested in you."
"I'm not interested in people wearing uniforms." Mu Wanjun said bluntly.
"Why?"
"Maybe I am evil at heart, so I am not worthy of dealing with righteous people." After saying that, Mu Wanjun smiled and pulled Tu Ran back to the private room.
The meal was quite peaceful, and Tu Ran drove on the way back.
Xie Nancheng sat in the passenger seat.
The car window was opened a little, and the evening breeze blew in from time to time.
There is an old song from the 90s playing in the car - "Hiroshima Mon Amour"
——Who is so brave that he says he likes separation, as long as it is today and not tomorrow, watching love slip through his fingers and saying goodbye.
The song is very artistic, but the lyrics are not very auspicious, that’s what Xie Nancheng thinks.
He suddenly grabbed Tu Ran's hand.
"What?" Tu Ran turned his head to look.
