Chapter 57: The Old Lady's Thoughts
Feng Yao was thinking that no matter how bad Lin Siyao was, she was engaged to Xie Nancheng.
Now that she is married to someone else, she has a legitimate reason to teach her husband a lesson and it is a way for her to vent her anger.
"Her? Is she worthy?" Xie Nancheng couldn't even remember what Lin Siyao looked like.
To be precise, Lin Siyao likes to wear heavy makeup, and her style is very varied. It is true that she looks good, but it is also true that she is not recognizable. If you see her too much, you will forget what she really looks like.
Unlike Tu Ran, who always looks like that...
When I thought of Lin Siyao, the image of Tu Ran wearing a red cheongsam last night appeared involuntarily in my mind.
The first time I saw her so bright and beautiful was still a bit unforgettable.
"Then are you trying to intimidate the Lin family?" Feng Yao guessed.
Xie Nancheng still said nothing and continued to read the documents.
"But Lin Chen has been in trouble recently. The guy who dragged him into the cryptocurrency world already had a lot of trouble. He actually got so close to that scumbag. He will be in trouble soon."
Feng Yao and Lin Chen were not familiar with each other, so he did not attend the banquet last night.
But I missed a lot of gossip on the scene, and after hearing a lot of hearsay, my curiosity was aroused.
But seeing Xie Nancheng's expression, he felt that he didn't take what happened yesterday seriously.
Since Xie Nancheng dared to beat Peng Yuan, he did not take the Lin family and Peng Yuan seriously. This is consistent with the arrogance and domineering nature of the Xie family's prince. The rumor that Xie Nancheng is cruel and ruthless has been circulating for a long time.
"Are you going to have a drink tonight?"
"There's a new club opening in the south of the city. It's pretty good."
"No time."
“Damn, you said you didn’t like your sister-in-law, but you obviously ignored me after you got married.”
"Don't use that word, disgusting."
"Hahaha, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going to have fun tonight. Don't regret it."
Feng Yao didn't have anything serious to do, and when he was about to leave, he ran into Jin Yu who came back to report.
He even teased her on purpose.
"Sister Xiaoyu, long time no see."
"Mr. Feng, don't joke." Jin Yu said with a stern face.
"I know you only have eyes for Mr. Xie. If you ever get tired of Mr. Xie, come work at my company and I'll double your salary."
Feng Yao waved his hand and walked out.
Jin Yu didn't take it seriously, after all, he knew that this guy was Mr. Xie's best friend.
"Thank you, it's all done."
"good."
"Ms. Fu's request was quite rude. The clothes were only worth a few hundred thousand, but her assistant insisted on talking about commercial value and so on, and asked for an extra hundred thousand."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Nancheng didn't take it seriously.
"But this really reveals a person's character. He's a big star, ugh, he has no vision at all."
"You go out."
"Mr. Xie, do you want to eat candied haws? I saw an old man selling them at a stall downstairs of the company today. A lot of people went to buy them. It was quite interesting." Jin Yu was young after all, and did all kinds of childish things.
"No, I don't like sweets."
Jin Yu hit a wall and walked out feeling somewhat disappointed.
Just before leaving get off work, the male assistant Xu Xin came in and said, "Mr. Xie."
"explain."
"I've checked on the young lady's matter, but there's still no news."
"Has the database been compared?"
"We did, but the database isn't accurate enough. After all, there are still many people across the country who don't know how to use a smartphone and have never been to a hospital for a physical examination, so we can't check."
Xie Nancheng remained silent. Xu Xin continued, "I also checked within a hundred miles of Phoenix Ridge during the two years that Mr. Tu found the young lady, looking for anyone who had lost a child, but I found nothing. The young lady...it's like she just appeared out of nowhere, which is really strange. Of course, it could also be that the information network wasn't very developed back then, and it's been so many years that it's hard to find."
"Could it be that she popped out from a crack in the rock?"
Xu Xin couldn't help laughing. "That's impossible, Mr. Xie. I'll continue to follow up."
"Go ahead."
Xie's old house, evening
Lihua, the little white cat who has always been close to the old lady.
She actually lay obediently in Tu Ran's arms, closed her eyes lazily, and even snored.
Tu Ran thought it was cute, so he picked up his phone to record it.
"Look, old lady, how much Lihua likes the young lady." Pinggu helped the old lady walk downstairs.
"Cats are the most intelligent and know who is good. Ranran is a good child."
Ever since Tu Ran cured the old lady's long-standing illness, he has become very important in the old lady's heart.
"Grandma." Seeing the old lady coming down, Tu Ran quickly stood up.
"Hurry up and sit down, don't wake it up."
"It's snoring while sleeping. It's so interesting." Tu Ran held the little white cat in his arms, his eyes full of doting.
"Xiao Ping, go cut some fruit."
"Yes, old lady."
The old lady sent Pinggu away and said tentatively, "Ranran."
"Um?"
"Have you really never attended school for a single day?"
Tu Ran was stunned, then shook his head.
"Is there no school nearby?"
"Yes, the nearest primary school is 20 kilometers away, and the conditions are difficult. Grandpa is old, and it's not convenient for him to take me to and from school every day. Although Grandpa wants me to go, I refuse."
"Then how did you learn to read?"
"Grandpa bought me a lot of books, and I read a lot of them."
"For example..." The old lady was quite interested when she heard that Tu Ran had read many books.
"I've read the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as classical masterpieces and the Records of the Grand Historian. The books I've read the most are those on Traditional Chinese Medicine. For example, Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, as well as Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, Shennong's Classic of Common People, and the Huangdi Neijing. Oh, and I occasionally read Buddhist texts, but they're all old books that Grandpa found in the bookstore in town."
"That's amazing! Even though you haven't been to school, you're more knowledgeable than many college students."
"No, grandma, not even close to it." Tu Ran answered obediently while holding the kitten.
"Then do you want to... well, I'll tell you when I'm done."
The old lady seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. Tu Ran saw it, but didn't ask.
She always felt that it was good to talk less, especially in a big family like the Xie family.
This was the heartwarming scene Xie Nancheng saw when he walked in.
Grandma and Tu Ran were sitting on the sofa, chatting about something.
Tu Ran was wearing a lotus-colored new Chinese-style long gown and a moon-white long skirt.
Because of the heating in the north, even if it is freezing and snowy outside, it is warm as spring inside.
Tu Ran was holding the kitten Lihua in her arms. When she was talking to the old lady, her eyes were bright and lively.
This was in stark contrast to the stiffness with which he was spoken.
"grandmother."
"Nancheng is back."
"Um."
"Look, how much Lihua likes Ranran." The old lady boasted.
"It really knows how to find a place. It's really warmer sleeping like this."
When Xie Nancheng was speaking, his eyes were actually always on Tu Ran.
Perhaps she felt a gaze on her head, so she didn't raise her head at all.
"This shows that your wife is popular. Your aunt Ping said that there were several pots of flowers in the greenhouse in the backyard that wilted after winter. It was only after Ranran took care of them for a few days that they finally bloomed. Don't you think she is very spiritual?"
"Hey, since she is doing so well, why not become a gardener?" Xie Nancheng glanced at the girl and said deliberately.
