Chapter 557: Head-on Confrontation
Tu Ran seldom addressed Nie Xiu by his full name, because his mind was indeed not on other men.
Second, knowing that this person has a powerful background, I don’t want to have too much interaction with him.
As soon as these two words came out, Nie Xiu was slightly stunned.
I didn’t feel that way before, but now I feel that hearing these two words from Tu Ran’s mouth is a bit... subtle.
I don’t know if I’m overthinking it or what.
Nie Xiu was a little dazed for a moment.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in listening."
Seeing Tu Ran also staring at him, perhaps because he was afraid of embarrassment or perhaps because he felt a little guilty, the boss started to pretend to be arrogant again.
Tu Ran didn't respond.
Asking her what she likes is quite presumptuous.
After giving him the injection, Tu Ran went downstairs to do his work.
It was during lunch when only she and Uncle Sun were left that they started talking about this.
"I thought Xiao Nie was eating here too."
"I just bought some extra food."
"You old man, you call me Xiao Nie Xiao Nie in a very affectionate way." Tu Ran smiled.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"I won't."
"Xiao Nie actually looks cold but is warm-hearted," said Uncle Sun.
Tu Ran paused his chopsticks. "It's true that he looks cold, but he's warm-hearted? Him? Uncle Sun, are you getting senile?"
"You girl, you are getting more and more bold in squeezing me."
"Let's eat the food." Although the old man complained, he actually loved Tu Ran more and more.
The old man never married in his life and had no children.
I originally had no desire for these family ties.
When I was young, I thought about adopting a child or an apprentice to pass on my skills.
When you get older, you give up all thoughts.
Unexpectedly, this girl barged in without any warning.
The two of them hit it off immediately, and their relationship became more and more like a family.
Talking about master and disciple is all empty talk.
Uncle Sun knew very well that his medical skills were inferior to the girl's, so he didn't dare to teach her.
In front of Tu Ran, Sun Bo really felt that apart from the Thirteen Ghost Needles, his other skills were not good enough.
Whatever he can do, Tu Ran can do too.
If he can't do it, Tu Ran can do it too.
Tu Ran could even improve on some of his own unique skills, making them even better than his.
In the face of talent, sometimes hard work is really worthless.
This girl is young, but without exaggeration, her attainments in traditional Chinese medicine have already surpassed those so-called experts and scholars.
"Are you still in contact with that Xiao Gu?"
"You're still gossiping at your age?" Tu Ran continued to pick up food with an expressionless face.
"I think the Gu family is really good. They come from the pharmaceutical industry, so they're a good match for you."
"But it's a pity that you married too young. You're not picky, girl."
"Why be picky? Just respect the arrangement of fate." Tu Ran was extremely calm.
"You don't seem like such an obedient person."
"Then it depends on who said it. It's fate. If I say I want to resist, can I resist?"
Tu Ran's direct question made Old Man Sun sigh.
"Indeed, you have a point."
At this time, a taxi stopped in front of the door and a beautiful middle-aged woman got out.
She was wearing a turquoise cheongsam and holding a luxurious white bag.
How can we express it through every gesture?
Some people seem to be pretending to be elegant, but in fact, a person's temperament cannot be faked, it is innate.
Although Qiao Kelan is indeed good-looking, her temperament is really not good.
Compared with Mrs. Xie, there is still some distance.
But now Xie Huaiyu is dazzled.
"Hello, I'm looking for Ms. Tu Ran." The woman was very polite.
Tu Ran glanced at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hello, my name is Qiao Kelan."
"I am... Mr. Xie Huaiyu's... good friend."
"There are some things I want to talk to you about alone." Qiao Kelan smiled gently, and seemed to be actively trying to show goodwill.
Tu Ran had indeed never met Qiao Kelan. After Xie Nancheng told her not to interfere, she listened to his advice.
I really didn't know what this woman looked like, but after seeing her today...she's just so-so.
To be honest, although there are deep conflicts between her and her mother-in-law, this woman is indeed not as good as her mother-in-law.
When he heard it was the mistress, Tu Ran didn't give her any face.
"Oh, then wait a moment, I haven't finished my meal yet."
"Okay, don't worry, take your time eating."
Then Qiao Kelan found a seat and sat down.
Tu Ran didn't mean to delay, he just ate at a normal pace.
Uncle Sun noticed something and went into the massage room to rest early after eating.
Giving them both space to talk.
After Tu Ran finished his meal, he slowly cleared the table and washed the dishes.
After completing this series of operations, half an hour had passed.
But Qiao Kelan didn't seem to be urging him at all and still had a smile on his face.
He waited until Tu Ran finished everything before coming over.
"Is there anything we can talk about?"
"Of course. I know it's presumptuous of me to call you here today, but you are Nancheng's daughter-in-law, so I'd better tell you some things. Some things are more appropriate for women to communicate with each other. What do you think?" Qiao Kelan asked back.
"Since you're here, just tell me."
Tu Ran pulled over a chair and sat opposite the woman without even pouring her a glass of water.
Qiao Kelan naturally knew Tu Ran's attitude towards her.
"In recent days, I mainly want to talk about Huaiyu and me, oh, your father-in-law."
"Go on." Tu Ran looked at her coldly.
"I believe you also know the relationship between Huaiyu and me. I know you don't like me and are angry with me. I don't know if I will be able to meet him again after so many years. I hope to resolve this matter peacefully, you know? Because the Xie family is a wealthy family, and your husband Xie Nancheng is also a top dignitary in Xiangcheng. If family affairs are not handled well and spread outside, the impact on the company will be immeasurable."
"How to resolve it peacefully? You take the money and leave?" Tu Ran asked.
Qiao Kelan's expression changed slightly. "Of course not. Huaiyu and I have been through so much hardship to be together. How could I possibly leave? Do you think you can just give me money and get rid of me? Then why didn't you just take the Xie family's money and run away? Right, Mrs. Xie?"
"Because I married her legally, there was no mistress involved." Tu Ran answered very skillfully.
"But Huaiyu loves me, not your mother-in-law."
After hearing this, Tu Ran lowered his head and smiled.
This smile made Qiao Kelan very uncomfortable.
She was a little embarrassed, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing... If he loved you so much, why did he break up with you? Why did he choose to marry a famous socialite? After all, you were just a pawn that my father-in-law gave up after weighing the pros and cons. Talking about love with me? Don't you think you're ridiculous? You're old, too. I don't mean to mock you, but I really want to laugh."
After hearing this, Qiao Kelan suddenly felt unwell.
Tu Ran clearly looked quite delicate, so why was she so harsh in her words? She didn't even give him face.
"But belittling me like this won't make your mother-in-law like you." Qiao Kelan gritted her teeth and fought back.
