Chapter 637: Underestimating the Enemy
"Your minister?"
"It's Madam Nie." The man said clearly.
Tu Ran's heart skipped a beat. Whatever you fear will come true.
"No, I can't take this."
"You must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to report back. Please don't make things difficult for me, Doctor Tu."
After saying that, the man stuffed the thing into Tu Ran's arms and disappeared at a speed that was astonishing.
"Hey, you guys..."
She opened the exquisite long box with a heavy heart, and inside was a silver belt.
Silver is easy to recognize, and perhaps because of its age, it has somewhat lost its luster.
However, the exquisite workmanship cannot be concealed. The middle is inlaid with blue gems, which is amazing.
But she knew that this could not be accepted.
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard beep beep beep, someone honked.
She subconsciously made way, thinking she was blocking someone's way.
Only when the car stopped did she see clearly that it was Xie Nancheng's car.
"Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"Nothing... nothing." Tu Ran actually felt a little guilty.
Xie Nancheng looked at the thing in her hand, "What is it?"
"Someone gave it to me."
Xie Nancheng lowered his head, reached out his hand and slowly touched the belt, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
"Wife, who gave this to you?"
"Someone from Chenyuan." Tu Ran did not lie.
Without waiting for Xie Nancheng to speak, Tu Ran continued to explain, "Miss Shen from Chen Garden has a cousin in Beijing who has been receiving treatment here. I told you this was sent by the patient's family as a token of gratitude."
"Wife, this thing... is very expensive."
There are probably not many things in the world that can make Xie Nancheng say they are very expensive.
Tu Ran nodded, "I know, so I definitely can't take it. I will return it tomorrow."
"I've seen this thing in a museum abroad."
"This isn't something that would show up at an auction house."
The implication is that it can only be given as a gift to some powerful figures.
Tu Ran and Xie Nancheng are both smart people, how could they not understand.
"This is a silver and jade belt made by Bulgari in 1889."
"The workmanship is extremely exquisite. Just the gems alone are truly stunning, even in the world."
"Because it has never been auctioned, the price is unknown."
"But priceless things are the hardest to estimate." Xie Nancheng explained clearly in one breath.
Tu Ran was slightly surprised. He really didn't expect that the origin of this thing was so amazing.
But the meaning of giving someone a belt... is very intriguing.
Xie Nancheng did not delve into the meaning behind the belt, but just put his arm around Tu Ran's shoulders.
"I'm free tomorrow, so I'll go with you to return the gift."
“I just happened to be going to see Miss Shen, and the things I promised to give to Miss Shen are all in place.”
"Okay." Tu Ran also felt that this was appropriate.
You can't always accept things from others and be stingy yourself. People should still pay attention to reciprocity between each other.
Tu Ran calmly put away his belt and went home with Xie Nancheng.
As they walked along, they said, "That's probably it for Wei Ming. What do you think?"
"No, you did very well."
"I can understand Wei Ming. As a native northerner, he might not be used to going abroad even if he was paid."
"Why don't you stay? I can be your helper in the medicine garden."
"It can also guarantee his personal safety."
"You're not jealous, are you?" Tu Ran asked tentatively.
Xie Nancheng subconsciously tightened his grip on Tu Ran's hand. "I definitely won't be jealous of this guy, because I know he's not as good as me in everything. If someone who's better than me in everything appears one day, I think I'll feel a sense of crisis."
Tu Ran didn't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, and for a moment he felt a little complicated.
Seeing Tu Ran's expression was not right, Xie Nancheng immediately tried to smooth things over, "But I feel that there is no one in the world who is stronger than me, so you can only be mine."
"Don't come over here." Tu Ran smiled and said nothing more. The couple then went into the living room.
At this moment, in the Lu family villa.
After Mrs. Lu came back, Lu Xuan'er seemed to be much more normal again.
Just like in South America, he looked gentle, polite and patient.
The family members tried their best not to provoke her, and her mother followed Lu Xuan'er wherever she went, so there was nothing unusual.
That day, the family gathered together for dinner.
"Zhi'ang, how did you and Wanjun discuss it?"
"Should her family come to Xiangcheng, or should we go there?"
"Let's get the engagement done first. You're all grown up, especially you."
"I like everything about Wanjun, especially her big, lively eyes," Mrs. Lu urged.
"Let's talk about it later. There's no rush."
"I'm quite busy with a project that's at a critical juncture."
"Brother, if you're talking about the one with Xie Nancheng, I advise you not to do it."
"It won't work."
Lu Zhiang raised his head and glanced at Lu Xuaner coldly.
"Because I have a feeling that Xie Nancheng's Shengshi Group will fall into a crisis."
"By then, his family will be in danger. If you cooperate with him, wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Lu Xuan'er, what do you want to do now?" Lu Zhiang was angry.
"I'm just making a prediction, but is that not allowed? I've heard several fortune tellers say that Xie Nancheng's wife is a jinx and will bring disaster to the Xie family. Many people say this, and I'm not the only one saying it. Why are you so angry with me?"
"Xuan'er, shut up and eat well." Old man Lu scolded his daughter.
Lu Zhiang was not in the mood to continue eating, so he stood up and walked outside to call Xie Nancheng.
Xie Nancheng: Old Lu.
Lu Zhiang: You'd better check carefully. I always feel that there is something fishy about Xuan'er's words.
Xie Nancheng: I understand, I will be careful.
Lu Zhiang: Uncle...
Xie Nancheng: It’s already being carried out over there. After my father was poisoned, the world should be at peace.
Lu Zhiang: Okay, I hope there is nothing wrong.
Xie Nancheng: Probably not.
After talking to Lu Zhiang on the phone, Xie Nancheng received a text message from his subordinates.
——Boss, we have succeeded. The chairman has already drunk the poisonous water.
Xie Nancheng breathed a sigh of relief since that Gu Master was so awesome.
Then the living father should be as loving with the mother as before tonight, and there will be no more drama about the mistress.
but……
Half an hour later, Xie Huaiyu, also known as Xie's father, started a nationwide live broadcast at home.
For a while, Xie Nancheng's phone was about to explode with calls.
"Master Cheng, your father is on live broadcast and blew himself up." Feng Yao called.
"Nancheng, something happened. Your father seems to have lost control." Lu Zhiang called.
"Boss, the chairman seems to be possessed by a ghost. Please check the live broadcast." Xu Xin also called.
Tu Ran's phone was also flooded with calls, and Mu Wanjun also came to ask, because Xie Nancheng's phone was always busy, someone from the old house also came to ask.
Xie Nancheng's heart was trembling, and he quickly took out his mobile phone to turn on the live broadcast.
Tu Ran also nervously moved forward and looked at the screen.
They didn't know what happened on this seemingly calm night.
