Chapter 55: The Vixen's Provocation
Xie Huaishan also hurriedly said, "I heard that Nancheng fought because of you. You said you were young and ignorant, so why didn't you suppress the matter? They say that you should marry a virtuous wife, but you can't see any virtue in her. It's really true."
Xie's aunt and uncle looked down on their niece-in-law from the very beginning.
Just because she has no background, the Lin family is not worthy of respect in their eyes, not to mention that Tu Ran is not the biological daughter of the Lin family.
So the words are full of squeeze and complaints.
"What are you talking about? What's the matter? Why are you hiding it from me, old lady?" Old lady Xie didn't want her granddaughter-in-law to be talked about, so she quickly asked the reason.
"The little brat from the Peng family was so mean-spirited that I kicked him." Xie Nancheng took a sip of black tea and explained to his grandmother.
"It's not that simple, is it? Why did I hear that you were doing this for a woman?" Xie Huailan sneered.
"Second aunt, are you there?" Xie Nancheng asked back.
"That's not the case."
"Since there's nothing, then don't spread rumors, okay? You know, in this day and age, rumors are easy to spread. This matter has nothing to do with my wife."
Seeing that Xie Nancheng was eager to protect his wife, he could no longer attack Tu Ran based on this issue.
Xie Huailan rolled her eyes and continued, "But I'm also curious, what birthday party was held at the Lin family yesterday? Whose birthday was it?"
"It's Mother Lin." Tu Ran answered modestly.
"Mrs. Lin? She's not that old, she's already celebrated her birthday before she's even sixty." Xie Huailan said deliberately.
Xie Huaishan's wife, Third Aunt, quickly chimed in, "The Lin family just had a wedding a while ago. It's been less than a month, and they're already holding a birthday banquet. Isn't that... a bit much?"
"Did you go there? Did you bring any gifts?" The old lady of the Xie family glanced at her third daughter-in-law.
Third Aunt immediately shut up and dared not say a word.
"The Lin family is our in-laws after all. Why are you making up something so early in the morning? The Lin family has held countless banquets, and you haven't been asked to spend money. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law haven't said anything, and look at what you two are saying. As elders, why don't you set an example for the younger generation and just gossip?"
"Mom, we're just concerned. Is that wrong?" Xie Huailan retorted.
"Take care of your own family affairs and take care of your husband."
Zhao Hui, who was standing by, suddenly blushed and lowered his head even more. He was originally a son-in-law and his status was not high.
After the video incident, Xie Huailan beat him up and he became much more obedient.
"And you, look how thin Tongtong is. I asked me to take her to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. Did you check it out?" asked the old lady.
"Mom, I'm busy lately, right?"
"Busy playing cards?"
"No, I just..."
"That's enough. We need to get Tongtong's physical examination report within this week to see if she's deficient in any trace elements. I really don't know how you all are raising children."
After the old lady lost her temper, the second and third rooms fell silent.
Tu Ran was not troubled any further, and she was very grateful to the old lady in her heart.
This is the most authoritative elder in the family, but he doesn't look down on her at all.
"Of course, you should eat more. You are too thin."
"good."
"It's not easy to get pregnant if you're too thin. When your mother-in-law gave birth to Nancheng, she deliberately gained more than 20 pounds."
"Ah? There is such a thing?" Xie Nancheng raised his head and looked at his mother.
Mrs. Xie has a kind face and looks gentle and generous.
"No, I forced myself to eat high-fat and oily foods, and I gained weight very quickly."
"My mother has worked really hard. Mom, if you want anything, just use my card." Xie Nancheng said with a smile.
"I want a grandson or a granddaughter, it doesn't matter, boy or girl, I'm not picky."
Xie Nancheng: ...
Tu Ran: ...
After the meal, the Xie family members went to work.
The old lady and Tu Ran are the only ones who have the most free time at home.
Before Xie Huailan left, she said to her third aunt, "Did you hear that? The eldest wife has started planning for the next generation in order to inherit the property. They're forcing the little bitch to have a baby. We have to hurry up too."
"Shh, second sister, keep your voice down. This is still the old house." Third Aunt was frightened.
"It's okay, but I've already taken action once. Xie Nancheng must have been watching me closely recently. This time it's your turn."
Third Aunt dared not say a word...
"I know you are timid, so I will show you a way. If you don't dare to attack Xie Nancheng, you can attack that little bitch. Her life or death is not that important. The Lin family will not pursue it." Xie Huailan was very vicious. She gave advice to the third house and asked them to start with Tu Ran.
"Let me think about what to do." Aunt San nodded, got into the car and left vaguely.
In the black Maybach, Xie Nancheng was reading a financial newspaper.
"Mr. Xie, it seems that Xie Huailan, Xie Huaishan and others are planning to take action against the young lady," said the driver.
"You figured it all out?"
"The targeting is quite obvious, especially because they are worried that the young mistress will get pregnant."
"Um."
"Then...do we need to send someone to protect the young lady?"
"Need not."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean..."
"It's fun to lure people into a trap. I want to see how they do it."
It’s not that Xie Nancheng is not worried about Tu Ran’s situation, but after two tests, he found that he was suddenly very smart.
To be exact, he has escaped from Xie Huailan twice.
The first time was about grandma’s Chinese medicine.
The second time, I was almost pushed down in a shopping mall.
She resolved them all cleverly. In Xie Huailan's opinion, it was because Tu Ran was lucky and it was just a coincidence.
But Xie Nancheng never believed in coincidences. He felt that this little girl was no ordinary girl.
So I'm quite looking forward to it and want to see how she performs next.
If I protect her too well, how can I see her performance?
He was thinking about it all the way to the company.
But I don’t know when it started, but he could spend so much time thinking about that woman?
Besides the reaction, he was also shocked.
As soon as I arrived at the company, I heard Jin Yu report, "Mr. Xie, Miss Fu's assistant just came and said that Miss Fu wanted to see you. Please make an appointment."
"Which Miss Fu?" Xie Nancheng didn't react.
Seeing Mr. Xie's expression, Jin Yu was secretly delighted. He had been worried that the female star would seduce their boss.
"That's the one filming."
"Oh, I'm busy." Xie Nancheng refused directly.
Jin Yu happily refused and added a few more words with her own interpretations, which made Fu Yunni very unhappy. She actually couldn't figure out what Xie Nancheng's attitude towards her was.
If you didn't care at all, why did you come to the rescue last night?
If he was interested in her, why did he refuse to meet her? Was it a ploy? Playing hard to get?
Xie Family Old House Greenhouse
Tu Ran was surprised when he received the call.
She didn't expect that big shot would ask her out and even knew her cell phone number.
So I simply changed my clothes and went to the appointment.
Fu Yunni made an appointment in a quiet teahouse, in a private room on the top floor.
When Tu Ran arrived, she was already there, making tea.
She has a pair of delicate hands, soft as if they have no bones, a standard oval face, and exquisite facial features. She is indeed a great beauty.
And suddenly I felt that the person in front of me was even more beautiful than Lin Siyao. Lin Siyao was too charming, and she had a bit of vulgarity and charm.
"Ms. Tu, please sit down." Fu Yunni actually didn't call her Mrs. Xie.
Tu Ran said nothing, nodded and sat down.
"This is the dress you lent me yesterday. I've already had it dry-cleaned. Thank you for what you did yesterday."
"You're welcome." Tu Ran took it.
"I didn't expect that Nancheng...cares about me so much..." Fu Yunni said with a shy smile.
Seeing that Tu Ran didn't say anything, she asked again, "Did Nancheng... tell you what our relationship is?"
This sentence is an obvious provocation.
