Chapter 62: The pit I dug myself
After Xie Nancheng finished speaking, the old lady of the Xie family looked at her grandson with a puzzled expression.
If it weren't for the presence of an outsider like Principal Wu, she would have been unable to resist hitting her grandson again. He deserved a beating.
This question really deserves a beating.
Tu Ran was not surprised at all. It was not surprising that such words came from Xie Nancheng's mouth.
But since we are acting, we should just cooperate with him.
So Tu Ran took the initiative to reach out and affectionately hold Xie Nancheng's arm.
She also became extra gentle, "Honey, I want to go. There's nothing wrong with going to medical school for further studies."
Xie Nancheng was used to Tu Ran's calmness and composure, so he was a little uncomfortable with her sudden gentleness.
I was even a little dazed, it felt a little unreal.
"Hubby, just let me go, okay? Principal Wu has already said so."
"As long as you pass the exam, you can go to school and get a diploma." Tu Ran blinked his bright eyes, which made Xie Nancheng's heart ripple.
Are you acting like a spoiled brat to him?
After realizing this, Xie Nancheng felt extremely excited.
"Since you like it, let's go."
"Even if we go directly without taking the exam, we still have to get a certificate, right, Principal Wu?"
Xie Nancheng began to look at Principal Wu again with a hint of meaning in his words.
Principal Wu was originally a scholar, so how could he bear this feeling of oppression?
He wiped his sweat with a white tissue and said, "Yes, that's right. Mrs. Xie said that it's okay not to take the exam..."
"Don't make things difficult for Principal Wu. I'll just take the exam."
Tu Ran didn't want to make things difficult for Principal Wu because of his own affairs.
I also think that what Principal Wu suggested before is very good. Just take the exam. Only by passing the exam can you prove your ability.
You can’t pass the exam, but you still play football?
"Since my wife wants to take the exam, then let her take it."
After discussing this matter, we also finished a pot of tea.
Principal Wu had something else to do, so he went straight back to the university.
Xie Nancheng helped the old lady walk downstairs.
Now that Principal Wu is gone, there are no outsiders around, and Xie Nancheng's true colors are revealed.
Staring at Tu Ran, "It's so cold, and you brought your grandma out just for you to go to school?"
"Caught a cold? Can you afford the consequences?"
Tu Ran didn't rush to defend himself, he just lowered his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Xie slapped her grandson's hand. "Why are you blaming Ranran? I asked her to come out. Before she met Principal Wu, she didn't even know who she was meeting."
"That's for her."
"It's such a small matter, I can just ask someone to handle it. There's no need for you to come in person."
"I mentioned this to you before, look at your attitude?" Old Mrs. Xie glared at her grandson.
Of course Xie Nancheng remembered, it wasn’t like he had lost his memory.
Grandma had mentioned it before, but he had flatly refused.
I just didn't expect that grandma would take this matter so seriously and come out to help Tu Ran even in the snow.
"Grandma, please get in the car and go back first. It's cold outside."
"What about you?" The old lady glanced at her grandson.
"I'm taking her shopping."
Tu Ran slowly raised her head and was slightly startled. Did he mean to leave her alone?
"What to buy?" Tu Ran couldn't help asking.
"Why are you asking so many questions? If you want me to come with you, just follow me."
"That's good. It's a rare opportunity for you two to go shopping together and strengthen your relationship."
After the old lady said this, they both looked in opposite directions, showing their disgust.
After the old lady's car left, Tu Ran silently followed Xie Nancheng into the car.
"Can you drive?"
"Won't."
"No driver's license?" he asked knowingly.
"No."
"Do you want to take an exam?"
"Are you going to buy me a car?" Tu Ran asked back.
"What were you thinking, I'd buy you a car? You have quite an appetite."
"Since you're not buying a car, is there any point in asking these questions?"
"Does it matter to you whether I can drive or not?"
"Okay, that's great. You're just an acting enthusiast in front of grandma, a soft-spoken granddaughter-in-law, but you show your true colors in front of me, right?" Xie Nancheng deliberately clapped his hands sarcastically.
"Mr. Xie, we're both friends, okay?"
"Your acting skills are not bad either."
"Don't laugh at me if I'm only fifty steps away. Your time is precious. If you don't need me, I'll just take a taxi back."
As he said that, Tu Ran opened the car door and was about to get out.
She didn't want to face Xie Nancheng alone or be alone with him.
Maybe it was because he felt embarrassed after several unintentional intimate encounters before.
Once both of them became quiet, the atmosphere became strange and Tu Ran felt uneasy.
"Wait."
Xie Nancheng suddenly grabbed her hand.
Tu Ran subconsciously shook it off.
"I received news that Xie Huailan and Xie Huaishan are keeping an eye on my private life. They want to use the scandal between Fu Yunni and me to discredit me for being immoral after marriage and destroy my image. You can't leave. You must accompany me to go shopping."
"So that's how it is."
Then Tu Ran understood that since they were just pretending to be a loving couple with a purpose, there would be no problem.
"Then what's in it for me?" Tu Ran asked him back.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I can't accompany you for nothing, right?"
"You want me to play a loving couple and I'll cooperate?"
"I just helped you to deal with Principal Wu, so you have another chance to go to college. Can you please not be so heartless, sister?" Xie Nancheng was so angry that he spoke with a thick Beijing accent.
Tu Ran insisted, "Let me correct you, this is what grandma helped me with."
"You didn't do anything."
Xie Nancheng: ...
I never expected that she would do this?
"Tu Ran, do you know how many women in Xiangcheng want to go shopping with me, Xie Nancheng? I'm giving you this opportunity. You should be grateful to me and appreciate the gift I've given you."
"How about you find women who can appreciate your gift?"
Xie Nancheng: ...
"Stop." Seeing that Tu Ran was really going to leave, he could only let go of his anger.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"I need a car."
"I'm just about to take my test and get my driver's license while I'm at it, so having a car will be more convenient."
Originally, Tu Ran had not thought about buying a car before Xie Nancheng reminded him of this.
But if you think about it carefully, no matter how many times you go back and forth to take the exam at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, or go to school in the future.
According to the current distance of the Xie family, it is more than 30 miles away from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It is indeed inconvenient if you don't drive, as there is no subway station in the wealthy area.
What's more, she couldn't rely on the family driver to pick her up and drop her off every day.
What did your classmates think when they saw you?
There are no cheap cars in the Xie family's garage, and any one of them would attract a lot of onlookers.
Tu Ran was also preparing for a rainy day.
Xie Nancheng: ...
"Very good, I dug this hole for myself, right?"
Tu Ran remained silent, but seemed not to want to discuss.
It’s just a car, Xie Nancheng doesn’t care at all, and he won’t be angry because Tu Ran wants a car.
I think she is quite cute...
"make a deal."
In the end, the boss compromised.
Tu Ran also successfully stayed in the passenger seat.
"Fasten your seat belts." When they went out today, Xie Nancheng drove the Maybach without a driver.
Tu Ran also sat in the passenger seat, which was rare.
As she was fixing her seatbelt, she glanced at the rearview mirror.
I actually saw a similar suspicious stalker, it seems Xie Nancheng was not lying.
Tu Ran glanced at it but said nothing.
"Where are we going first?" Tu Ran asked him.
Before he could answer, Xie Nancheng heard two gurgling sounds from his abdomen, and the boss suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
Pretend nothing happened and turn the steering wheel.
"Let's go eat first. I just drank tea and I'm hungry." Tu Ran also knew how to advance and retreat. She should give face when it is due. The boss was embarrassed to say that he was hungry, so she said.
As expected, Xie Nancheng's expression suddenly looked much better.
"Sure, what do you want to eat?"
