Chapter 66: The Thief's Heart Remains
Mrs. Lin immediately exchanged glances with her son, and Lin Chen nodded slightly.
He took out a bag of herbs that the two of them had randomly picked out earlier and placed it on the table.
The moment Tu Ran slowly opened it...
She felt disappointed.
This disappointment was also noticed by Mrs. Lin and Lin Chen.
It seems that their guess was right, these herbs are indeed not valuable.
At first, that old man treated it as a treasure and sent it to them, but they really rejected it.
"Mother Lin, I remember my grandfather seemed to have a bronze wine cup..."
"That's my grandfather's heirloom, left by his grandfather. Is it still in the family?"
"I didn't notice it. I'll look for it when I have time. Don't worry." Mrs. Lin smiled awkwardly.
"You know, our villa is large, with many rooms, and there are also many of Siyao and Achen's things. It's really not easy to find everything you want. As for this herb, it was the nanny who found it and gave it to me when she was cleaning the room."
Obviously, they didn't want to give Tu Ran too much at once, and even only gave him one packet of herbs.
"Then...can I take this herb?"
"Although it's not valuable, it's my grandfather's legacy after all, so it's inevitable that I'll miss him when I see it."
"Of course you can. I came here to give you something. Borrowing money is... secondary." Mrs. Lin's words sounded fake, and Tu Ran didn't take it seriously. She just nodded and put the herbs away quietly.
Then he took out a bank card from his bag.
"Mother Lin, you also know that I have no income."
"This was given to me by several elders of the Xie family after I got married."
"There's almost 200,000 yuan in it. If you need it urgently, take it."
Mrs. Lin looked at the bank card and was at a loss for a moment.
Looking at his son's eyes again, Lin Chen shook his head slightly.
Of course he saw what Tu Ran was thinking. She wanted to use this little money to shut them up.
I didn't even plan to ask Xie Nancheng for a loan.
But how can a mere 200,000 be enough?
Are you sending away beggars?
Seeing her son shaking his head, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pushed the bank card back.
"Of course, Mother Lin can't take this money. It's not easy for you either."
"You can't be broke. You don't have a job to begin with. If you don't have any money, the Xie family will look down on you. Mother Lin doesn't want you to be embarrassed by your in-laws."
"But Mother Lin, I can't guarantee that Xie Nancheng will be willing to lend me the money."
"he……."
At this point, Tu Ran deliberately reddened his eyes and said a little aggrievedly, "To be honest, you all saw the news about him and that female celebrity a while ago, right?"
"Ah, I did hear some." Mrs. Lin nodded.
"Xie Nancheng has many women, and I'm just a decoration. If it weren't for the fact that I was sent by our Lin family, I would have been kicked out of the house long ago, so he definitely won't listen to me. I really want to repay Mother Lin and Father Lin for raising me, so I'm willing to give out all my savings now."
Tu Ran's words were sincere and heartfelt. Indeed, the child had no income.
This is all I can get based on the money I collected when we first got married to change my name.
It was indeed taken out, and Mrs. Lin was somewhat touched.
"Put your money away. This 200,000 yuan won't solve the company's problems. Your father Lin and I will be very happy that you have this intention."
Tu Ran nodded and took the card back.
"Mother Lin, I'll go back first. There are rules at the Xie family's old house. We can't go back too late."
"Okay, I'll let Achen take you there."
"No, no, I'll just take a taxi."
Tu Ran firmly opposed Lin Chen giving it to her, and of course Lin Chen didn't want to give it to her either.
Lin Chen will make an appointment with his investment friends and want to get a few friends to join him in the virtual currency market.
So his mind is not on women.
Before leaving, Lin Chen deliberately said, "Of course, Mai Yuqing and I broke up."
"None of this has anything to do with me."
"Why is it okay? You are also a member of our Lin family. Of course I have to tell you about such an important matter."
Tu Ran didn't say anything, changed his shoes, opened the door and walked out.
"Of course, if you've been wronged in the Xie family, remember to come back and find me."
"I will protect you."
Tu Ran has always been clear about Lin Chen's hypocrisy.
But she was in no mood to waste time irritating him anymore, as she had more important things to do.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lin."
"Why call me Mr. Lin? Just call me Achen." Lin Chen's words were very ambiguous.
Tu Ran opened the door and left without looking back.
"You little bitch...how long can you hide from me?"
Lin Chen looked at the thin figure, feeling unsatisfied.
He was indeed interested in this dead girl, but he couldn't touch her at the moment.
All she could do was wait for Xie Nancheng to get tired of her and leave her. He would then be looking for an opportunity.
In his opinion, making money is king when it comes to men. If you have money, you have the final say in everything.
A nightclub in Hong Kong
Xie Nancheng was called out for a drink by a client from out of town.
This client is not young, but he likes this kind of bright lights and wine.
The card bag in the nightclub was also filled with beauties.
Through the half-open glass, you can see the center of the first floor, where a group of young people are dancing.
The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and perfume, which was particularly charming.
Xie Nancheng leaned back on the sofa, refusing to drink the wine or take the girl.
"Boss Xie, don't you really want some sisters to accompany you?"
"No need, Mr. Zhao, just have fun."
He has always felt bored with this kind of casual flirting, but he doesn't reject it and has gotten used to it.
At this moment, a private message came from the mobile phone——
——Mr. Xie, the Third Madam is going to attack the Young Madam.
Xie Nancheng: What happened?
——The two gangsters hired by your third aunt have been following the young lady all the way and seem to be planning to attack her.
Xie Nancheng: Okay, let’s wait and see.
"Mr. Xie, don't you need to protect the young lady? Those people seem to have bad intentions."
Xie Nancheng: No need, she is so capable, she doesn’t need me.
Xie Nancheng said this angrily because he was still angry.
From childhood to adulthood, no matter what I did, there was always someone to coax me.
This is true in the Xie family, in the group, and even more so in front of customers.
It was as if the women in the nightclub tonight treated him like a god and wanted to lick his ass.
There is only that stinky girl, the stinky girl who smells of dirt.
She always gives her the cold shoulder. If that's the case, why should he care about her?
If something goes wrong, it's because she's incompetent and deserves it.
On the other side, Xie Nancheng's third aunt Yang Xin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of her villa, feeling a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Xie Huaishan hugged his wife's waist from behind.
"I wonder if this will go smoothly?"
Yang Xin was even a little annoyed. If Xie Huailan hadn't been forcing her, she would not have been willing to take action against Tu Ran.
Although she didn't like the bumpkin, she didn't hate him that much.
