Chapter 660: Testing
"I……"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw two men in black suits and black sunglasses appear on both sides of the old man.
Then in an instant, Old Man Gu was taken away.
It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
Fortunately, Tu Ran was not surprised by anything.
She just looked quietly at the place where Old Man Gu had just appeared, as if thinking about something.
She actually just thought, I don’t know where I come from.
If I had known, I might not be like this now.
Even with abilities like Xie Nancheng's, he still couldn't find any clues.
Could it be that I am really a monster in the mountains?
When this thought came to my mind, I laughed out of anger.
Touch your arm, it’s full of flesh and blood, a complete body.
Have emotions, get angry, eat whole grains, and work to earn money.
No matter how you look at it, it's still a mortal body.
If it really was a monster, it would have the ability to go to heaven and earth, so it wouldn't be suppressed like this, right?
Tu Ran didn't tell anyone about the brief moment that Old Man Gu appeared.
Because it doesn't make sense.
For the Gu family, Old Man Gu has already explained everything he needs to.
For Xie Nancheng, he certainly doesn't want anyone to try to match his wife with someone else.
For Tu Ran, he didn't think anything could happen between him and Gu Xixing.
Therefore, there is no need to repeat the deep affection expressed by his father to his son.
After the funeral, Xie Nancheng left with his wife.
The appearance of the couple, including their respectful attitude towards the Gu family, dispelled the rumors.
You can make up other rumors, but if you spread rumors that they have a marital conflict, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
After the two separated, Xie Nancheng sent Tu Ran to the clinic and then went back to work at the company.
Today was not the day Nie Xiu was supposed to receive treatment, but he unexpectedly saw his car parked at the door.
Tu Ran walked in silently.
I unexpectedly saw Chen Yingli.
"Tu Ran."
“Miss Shen, why are you here?”
"Of course I was bored, so I came to see you. Uncle Sun said you would be here soon, so I didn't call."
Tu Ran now understood that the car was driven by Miss Shen.
To be exact, it was Miss Shen’s driver who drove there.
Chen Yingli is wearing a long cashmere coat, looking elegant and luxurious.
The bag in my hand is worth the price of someone else's house.
Even if Tu Ran no longer pays attention to luxury goods, he knows that this is a global limited edition.
But for Chen Yingli, this kind of thing is indeed a daily necessity.
"Is it okay for me to come and see you so that I can avoid interrupting your work?"
"No, there's nothing to do today anyway. Miss Shen, please follow me upstairs."
Although Chen Yingli repeatedly reminded her not to call her Miss Chen as it would be so distant, just call her Yingli.
But Tu Ran still felt it was inappropriate. Whether it was Miss Shen or Nie Xiu, she maintained respect and a sense of boundaries.
The main reason is that the gap in status and class is too big.
Tu Ran simply said a few words to Old Man Sun, then took Shen Yingli upstairs.
Tu Ran brewed a pot of tea and took some snacks.
The two of them also started chatting about daily life.
At first, Chen Yingli just talked about what he saw and heard during his return to Beijing.
Tu Ran listened carefully and did not interrupt.
"Ah, I actually really like Beijing. After all, it's where I grew up. All my friends and family are there. I've been running around in those alleys since I was a kid. I've checked into all those bars. There are also some places where foreigners gather, and we've also been there. It was crazy when we were young."
"Miss Shen is not old now." Tu Ran said.
"No, although I am not old now, my heart is old and my mentality has changed."
"This time when I went back, my family actually tried to match me up with the grandson of an elder."
"But I have no intention." Shen Yingli said in a light voice.
"My body is very sick and I might die someday."
"Why bring harm to others?"
"Besides, I'm no longer at the age where I can expect marriage and love."
"That guy was quite attentive. He met with me twice. I clearly refused, but I didn't expect that after I returned to Xiangcheng, he would send someone to deliver something. What do you think of this guy..."
"I guess he has a crush on Miss Shen. It's normal for a young man to have crushes on her."
"But we are not teenagers anymore."
"As for a family marriage, it's not really like that. His family is now more prominent than ours, and several of his elders are now in high positions of power."
"That guy isn't ugly and is quite knowledgeable. Why would he bother with a sickly person like me? It's really..."
Tu Ran smiled and didn't say anything else.
After all, it’s Miss Shen’s private matter…
But Chen Yingli changed the subject and said, "Tu Ran, have you met my aunt?"
"Um."
"How about it?"
"Miss Shen is referring to..." Tu Ran was a little confused.
"Do you think my aunt is fierce?"
"That lady wasn't mean at all. She waited patiently for me to finish my meal. I initially thought she was a patient."
"Haha, you're the first one to say that Auntie isn't fierce."
"I'm telling you, no one in our compound is afraid of her, including Xiu."
"Is Nie Xiu very afraid of his mother?" Tu Ran was curious.
I thought, how could such an arrogant and conceited guy be afraid of others?
"I was afraid when I was a child, but I wasn't afraid anymore after I turned three."
"Xiu is very smart and developed his intelligence very early. At the age of three, he knew many things that ordinary children couldn't. That's why my uncle and aunt had high hopes for him. He really did live up to his expectations, but it's a pity that this disease..."
“The disease has improved now, so Miss Shen doesn’t need to worry.”
"So, thanks to you, my aunt is very grateful to you, but I heard that you returned the gift I gave you."
"That's too valuable. I can't accept it."
"What you call precious is actually commonplace in our eyes. Of course, I don't mean to look down on you by saying this. I just want to say that my aunt likes you very much, and Xiu Ni..."
Before Shen Yingli finished speaking, Tu Ran interrupted, "Miss Shen's tea is cold, I will refill it for you."
After saying that, Tu Ran stood up and poured tea.
Shen Yingli didn't say anything else. She was also very smart and understood what Tu Ran meant.
What happened today was just a test.
It was my aunt's idea, so she couldn't refuse.
But it was basically what she thought.
Outsiders all say that the young lady of the Xie family is obsessed with power and wealth and will not let go.
The seductive girl made Xie Nancheng so happy that he was bewitched.
Only Chen Yingli knows what kind of person Tu Ran is.
"By the way, the Xie family has been in a lot of trouble recently."
"Do you need my help?" Chen Yingli really changed the subject.
"Thank you, Miss Shen. That's not necessary."
"I think Xie Nancheng can handle it. He's been through a lot over the years and his family business is supported by it. If he needs others to help him with everything, he doesn't deserve to be in that position."
At first glance, Tu Ran's words sounded a bit cold.
But Shen Yingli agreed very much, "Tu Ran, you are really very rational."
"Being too rational is not a good thing." Tu Ran smiled.
"But you have to be careful with that person." Shen Yingli lowered his voice.
Tu Ran's expression changed slightly, "Miss Shen is talking about..."
