Chapter 540: The Gift is Small, But the Feeling is Great
"Oh, okay, then I won't explain it at all." Tu Ran just gave up.
Nie Xiu:? ?
"Anyway, you said that if you can't explain it clearly, there's no end to it, so just go ahead and use your ultimate move."
"Then I'm too lazy to explain." Tu Ran looked indifferent.
"Tu Ran, you..."
"Would you like to try the spring Amomum villosum spareribs?" One sentence and one move to defeat the enemy.
Nie Xiu: ...
"If you want to eat, go wait outside and don't keep me from cooking here, okay?"
Nie Xiu didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out silently.
Great, done!
Tu Ran had initially thought this gentleman was difficult to get along with, even extremely picky. He was practically fussy, but as he gradually got to know him, he realized there was a secret to dealing with him.
Don't give him face, don't take his chance to talk, change the subject, and keep your emotions stable.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have helped him.
Nie Xiu was eating and taking things today, because in addition to having a meal of spring amomum pork ribs, Tu Ran also made an extra portion and packed it for them to take back.
She didn't give it directly to Nie Xiu, as she didn't want him to think she was trying to please him.
Instead, it was given to Xiaojie.
"I made this extra and packed it up to take home. I can heat it up in the evening and it will still taste the same."
Xiao Jie was surprised and happy, "Thank you, Doctor Tu."
"You're welcome, it's just a small matter."
“By the way, Xiaojie, what do you think Miss Shen likes most on weekdays?”
"Ah?" Xiao Jie was confused by the question.
"I want to prepare a gift for Miss Shen, but Miss Shen seems to have everything she needs. I thought since you often go in and out of Shen Garden, you should know something about it."
"Of course, if you don't feel comfortable saying it, I'll just ask casually."
Tu Ran explained his purpose, without hiding anything or trying to answer in a roundabout way.
This honesty actually made Xiaojie less guarded.
"Miss Shen really has everything she needs, but she seems to have her own beliefs. I saw a golden statue of Guanyin enshrined in Miss Shen's small Buddhist temple. Miss Shen often copies scriptures and meditates in the temple."
"I understand. Thank you, Xiaojie." Tu Ran was very polite.
Xiaojie was also flattered and waved his hand quickly.
"Doctor Tu, please don't be polite to me. I'm sorry for bothering you today."
On the way back, Xiao Jie mentioned while driving, "Master, Doctor Tu also packed some spring amomum villosum spareribs for you. You can tell me how much Doctor Tu cares about you."
"Hmph." Nie Xiu didn't take it seriously. Did she care? Only a fool would believe that.
It's impossible to bribe him with a portion of pork ribs.
"Doctor Tu also said that Amomum villosum is good for the stomach, but since it is a medicinal herb, you can't eat too much. You have to eat in moderation."
"Do I need her to teach me? I can't read?" Nie Xiu retorted.
Xiao Jie felt aggrieved and thought, "What's the big deal about you arguing with me? If you have the guts, just say it to Dr. Tu's face."
But Xiaojie didn't dare, for fear that his master would get angry.
He could only change the subject, "Doctor Tu also asked me about Miss Shen's preferences and said he wanted to give Miss Shen a gift."
"Hmph." Nie Xiu became even angrier when he heard about giving Chen Yingli a gift.
Looking out the window, saying nothing.
“Master, if Miss Shen knew that you helped her with this matter, she would be grateful to you.” Xiao Jie coaxed.
"No need." A certain big man said hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
After they left, Tu Ran took the initiative to send a WeChat message to Shen Yingli to express his gratitude.
Tu Ran: Miss Shen, thank you for helping me with my husband's matter. I'm sorry for the trouble.
Chen Yingli: You are always so polite to me, I thought we were friends.
Tu Ran: I dare not, I dare not.
Chen Yingli: Tu Ran, I've been in Hong Kong for quite some time, but I've definitely never crossed paths with the daughters of the local wealthy. It's not that I think too highly of myself, it's just that our personalities just don't mesh. But you, I really like you.
Tu Ran: Thank you, Miss Shen, for your appreciation.
Chen Yingli: Your husband is also very interesting. He knew that you and I were friends, but he didn't use your relationship to get you to come to me. Northern men are really upright.
Tu Ran: He is indeed not someone who likes to push things onto women.
Chen Yingli: Whether it's Xie Nancheng who comes to me or you, I will help. You two are husband and wife, so I won't deny you face.
Tu Ran: Miss Chen took action in this matter. My husband and I are both very grateful. I heard that Miss Chen is a Buddhist and worships Bodhisattva devoutly. I have a humble request. I would like to know the size of the Bodhisattva statue. I think my handicraft is pretty good, and I want to sew a cloak for the Bodhisattva by hand to express my gratitude.
Tu Ran: Miss Shen, please don’t despise the small gift.
Chen Yingli: "Of course not. I'm so happy you could do it yourself. It's like the thought is great, even if the gift is small. Wait a moment, I'll go take the measurements."
Chen Yingli did not refuse and accepted it generously.
Thanks to Nie Xiu's report, she knew some of Miss Shen's daily preferences.
People like Chen Yingli naturally have everything they need, except for their feelings.
Then Tu Ran gave it with all his heart.
Chen Yingli was indeed very happy. When Nie Xiu and the others came back, she even deliberately boasted, "Xiu, Tu Ran is going to personally sew a cloak for my Bodhisattva statue. Aren't you envious?"
Nie Xiu shook the food bag in his hand in a doggy manner. "Do you want some of the spring amomum ribs Tu Ran made?"
Chen Yingli: ...
On the other hand, Mu Wanjun missed Lu Zhiang very much.
Maybe it was because something happened at home and he was always worried, which intensified his longing.
But she is still a proud person and doesn't want to take the initiative.
So when the other party didn't make any move, she didn't take the initiative to send WeChat messages or make phone calls.
But I couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning, so I had to get up and find a place to drink.
Mu Wanjun likes to go to nightclubs. She likes to sit alone in a corner and watch the men and women in the city break up and get back together.
Just treat yourself as an audience member, watching a movie, and stay out of the hustle and bustle.
This is different from Tu Ran.
Tu Ran didn't go at all and was not interested at all.
Except for a few dinner parties organized by Xie Nancheng, she basically never goes out on weekdays.
Knowing her friend wasn't interested, she went on her own.
In order to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble, Mu Wanjun wrapped herself very seriously.
He was only wearing loose grey sweatpants and a white short-sleeved shirt.
He was also wearing a fisherman's hat that covered half of his face.
Then he ordered a glass of wine and sat in the corner.
What she never expected was that even after this, she would still be approached by someone.
At this time, in the box on the second floor, several men were discussing her.
"Brother Li, I haven't seen that girl before. She seems to be new."
"Brother Li has slept with almost all the girls in this bar. Haha, it's rare to see a newcomer today."
"The little girl is quite interesting. She wraps herself up very tightly."
"Come on, zoom in on the screen."
At this time, the surveillance footage on the big screen in the private room continued to zoom in.
Directly facing Mu Wanjun, taking a close-up shot of her face.
Mu Wanjun didn't know there were so many tricks in this bar, she just drank quietly.
I was watching the female DJ playing music on the stage and I didn't realize that I started to notice her.
"Tsk tsk... Really nice, this little one."
"It's so juicy." someone said.
At this time, the man named Brother Li narrowed his eyes and stared at Mu Wanjun's face carefully for a while.
"Get it up here, I want to play."
