Chapter 515: Birthday Banquet
After all, there were some things that Tu Ran didn't say directly.
Instead, he tactfully analyzed, "I don't think Zhao Hui will give the child to you. He only lets you take the child away temporarily because his mistress has given birth to a son and is too busy to take care of it. He will come to pick it up when he's done with his work."
"Xie Guangyao is a cash cow for Zhao Hui."
"If Xie Huailan could come out, Zhao Hui would not dare to give the child to you, for fear that Xie Huailan would come out and kill him."
"After all, Xie Guangyao is Xie Huailan's treasure."
"If Xie Huailan can't get out, whether she's divorced or widowed, Zhao Hui and Xie Guangyao are both legal heirs and can get all of Xie Huailan's property, which is a huge sum of money."
"I won't let him get it. I can short-sell Xie Huailan in a minute and make her return all the embezzled money over the years, and even make them bear huge debts." Xie Nancheng was very calm.
"I know, but Xie Guangyao is still a child. We must give him a chance to live. You can ignore Zhao Hui's life or death, but will you ignore Xie Guangyao?"
"That's why I said Zhao Hui would keep the child as his last trump card."
"That's exactly what happened. Honey, your analysis makes sense, but... I won't let them succeed. Xie Huailan is bad, but Zhao Hui isn't a good person either. Keeping him for the time being doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants."
"As for Xie Guangyao, I really don't plan to stay in the old house..." Xie Nancheng also had plans long ago.
"What if grandma likes it..." Tu Ran hesitated to speak.
"Then let grandma take her back to her hometown in Huizhou." Xie Nancheng had no emotion.
But at this moment, Tu Ran truly felt Xie Nancheng's indifference.
His meaning was very clear: if grandma insisted on keeping this grandson.
Then let grandma leave Xiangcheng and take the silly boy back to her hometown to live an ordinary life.
If the old lady heard this, she would probably be disappointed.
Fortunately, it was said by the couple.
Seeing that Tu Ran didn't say anything for a long time, Xie Nancheng knew what she was thinking.
"Do you think I'm heartless?"
“A little.”
"If I weren't so ruthless, I wouldn't be the one sitting in the CEO position at Shengshi Group today."
"In other words, the grass on my grave may be three meters high," said Xie Nancheng.
"I know." Tu Ran said softly.
"Wife, I am only ruthless to others, but never to you, do you understand?"
"What if I do something that makes you feel disappointed?" Tu Ran asked.
"No, you won't."
"Xie Nancheng, don't underestimate human nature. Everyone can change their mind." Tu Ran said seriously.
"Then I'll let you change back. Anyway, you can only love me in this life." The boss's unexpected lie softened Tu Ran's heart and he stopped talking about such a depressing topic.
The next morning
Tu Ran first went to the school to punch in, and if there was nothing else, he drove directly to the hospital to visit Wei Ming.
Tu Ran first talked with Wei Ming's attending physician, and felt relieved when he felt that he was no longer seriously ill.
In the ward, Dong Xue stood by the bed without saying a word.
"I think I've made it clear. I really don't like you. I'm sorry."
"You've been taking care of me these past few days, so I'll pay you according to the salary of a caregiver. I don't like to owe favors to others."
Wei Ming's words were very clear, but Dong Xue lowered her head and said nothing.
"You're putting me in a difficult position."
"I won't be with you, and you shouldn't waste your time on me, okay?"
"Wei Ming, do you like Wanjun or...Tutu?" Dong Xue, who has always been as timid as a mouse, suddenly asked back.
In that instant, both of them were stunned.
The atmosphere was very awkward, and Tu Ran withdrew his hand in time to knock on the door.
"Dong Xue, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Ming was a little angry and embarrassed.
"I just want to know what you feel."
"I won't pester you. I'll leave once you're discharged from the hospital."
"I don't like anyone. I'm alone, so who am I qualified to like? You know my family situation. No one in my family has died. I don't have any money. I rely on government subsidies and minimum living allowances to get by. What qualifications do I have to like someone?"
"I don't despise you..." Dong Xue knew Wei Ming's family situation, so she felt even more distressed and wanted to help him, but Dong Xue's family was also very poor. She even had to rely on Mu Wanjun and Tu Ran to help her get her scholarship.
"I've said it several times, I haven't graduated yet, I don't have a job, I'm not considering falling in love." Wei Ming turned his head away.
At this time, Tu Ran knocked on the door and walked in.
"Tu Tu, you're here?"
"Well, let me see Wei Ming." Tu Ran said frankly.
Dong Xue also roughly knew that Wei Ming was involved in a dispute within a wealthy family during his hospitalization this time, and that Tu Ran's husband was from this family. She was not very clear about the rest of the details.
"You guys chat, I'll boil some water for him." Dong Xue turned and left, feeling a little embarrassed.
Tu Ran glanced at Wei Ming, but he didn't dare to look at her.
"I spoke to the doctor and you should be fine. You can be discharged next Monday."
"Xie Nancheng has already arranged your hospital expenses. You don't need to pay a penny."
"Thank him for me." Wei Ming said softly.
"Thank you, you helped him too."
"Xie Nancheng means that, to thank you this time, he wants to give you two choices."
"First, he will send you to graduate school and pay for all the expenses."
"Second, I'll give you two million and you can spend it as you wish."
"I don't want any of them." Wei Ming refused bluntly.
Tu Ran was not surprised. "It's good to have backbone, but I don't recommend giving up such an opportunity."
"I don't want to go to graduate school anymore. I have no plans to continue my studies."
"I don't need money anymore. In fact, Xie Huailan gave me a lot." Wei Ming said.
"So what are your plans after graduation?"
"This is none of your business, and you don't have to feel like you owe me a favor. In fact, I owed you a favor before, and now we're even, Tu Ran."
"So you don't have to take care of me like a child. It would make me feel like a coward."
"OK, then it's up to you."
Tu Ran knew that Wei Ming had a twisted personality, so he didn't force him.
On the other hand, an even more unexpected thing happened to the Xie family.
When the atmosphere in the Xie family was so tense, Mrs. Xie actually wanted to hold a birthday party.
And she did it without consulting her husband and son.
It can be said that with Zhou Han's strong support, the hotel was booked.
The invitations had been sent out, but the Xie family only found out after it was reported in the news.
Xie Nancheng was stunned as he looked at the screenshot of the news sent by Xu Xin.
He called his mother directly.
No answer.
At this time, Mrs. Xie's interview was broadcast live on TV.
Zhou Han stood beside her, smiling brightly.
"Mrs. Xie, your Xie family has always been very low-key. Why is the birthday banquet so grand this year?"
"My son is very filial and wanted to hold it for me, saying that it would be lively this year." Mrs. Xie replied with a smile.
Xie Nancheng, sitting in front of the TV, suddenly fell into deep thought.
My mother’s birthday is still three months away, but Tu Ran’s birthday is in half a month.
"When is Mrs. Xie's birthday party scheduled?" asked the host.
Xie Nancheng seemed to have thought of something and stared at the TV intently.
"I asked a Feng Shui master, and he said the ninth day of the eighth lunar month is a good day."
Mrs. Xie said word by word.
After hearing this, Xie Nancheng took a deep breath. Yes, the ninth day of August was Tu Ran’s birthday.
