Chapter 718: Matchmaking
"No." Tu Ran refused bluntly.
There was no trace of disappointment in Boss Nie's eyes.
As if he had anticipated her answer.
She swiftly picked up the coat and handed it over. "Thank you."
Nie Xiu took the clothes but didn't say anything.
"How long have I slept?" she asked.
Nie Xiu looked down at his watch. "About an hour and fifteen minutes."
"That's almost here."
Tu Ran looked out the car window and said no more.
The car slowly stopped under Tianyi Pavilion.
"Thanks for taking me back."
"It should be thank you for accompanying us to Baiyun Temple." Nie Xiu said.
“It should be, that’s what I promised Miss Shen.”
"Drive carefully on the way back. Goodbye."
Tu Ran was much more polite than usual, and he knew very well that this was a deliberate attempt to distance himself from Nie Xiu.
But he won't say it out loud, let alone expose it.
When I returned to Tianyi Pavilion, I found that Xie Nancheng had not returned yet.
Tu Ran quickly gave the little white cat a quick bath and added food and water.
Then he ran to the rooftop to water the flowers and plants.
By the time I finished all this, an hour had passed.
At this time, Mu Wanjun's voice came from outside the door.
"Tu Tu, it's me, open the door."
Tu Ran opened the door, "Wanjun, why are you here?"
"Take you to eat."
"I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat anymore." She has never been obsessed with food. No matter how delicious it is, she will control her appetite.
"That won't do. You have to go."
"I'm the host today."
"A lot of people have been invited." Mu Wanjun said mysteriously.
"oh?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Feng Yao are coming too, as well as your husband."
"You guys always treated me before."
"I'll be generous today too."
"Then you are really generous." Tu Ran chuckled.
"Just eat as much as you can. It's okay. Lu Zhiang has money." She whispered deliberately in Tu Ran's ear.
Tu Ran changed into a black velvet dress and went out.
It was a rare occasion that she put her hair up, and she put a very simple wooden hairpin in it.
But what was rare was that she wore earrings, a pair of white pearls of excellent quality.
Since it's Wanjun who's treating us to dinner, and there are so many people, it must be more formal.
Then she covered herself with a thicker off-white cashmere coat.
Then the two of them went out, with Mu Wanjun driving.
She has been very busy recently and was surprised to find that Mu Wanjun had changed her car.
A white Porsche 718.
"Did you change the car?"
"Lu Zhiang gave it to me." She said it casually without any boasting.
"I've been so busy lately that I'm slow to react."
"You've really been busy lately."
"So don't go home until you're drunk tonight, okay?" Mu Wanjun turned her head and looked at Tu Ran and smiled.
The hotel we booked was the recently opened Beijing North Hotel.
It is said that the boss is also a big shot in the Beijing circle and his identity is mysterious.
It opened in a low-key manner, but has never lacked customers and business is booming.
Mu Wanjun booked a private room on the top floor, which could accommodate just six people.
When she and Tu Ran entered the room, everyone else had already arrived.
Xie Nancheng's eyes fell on Tu Ran and never left.
"Hey, hey, hey, Master Cheng."
"Don't be so obvious."
"You two can go home and spend time together, okay? I need to eat soon." Feng Yao deliberately joked.
"Wife, sit here."
He was even afraid that Tu Ran would not come over, so he waved his hand.
Tu Ran walked over quietly and sat beside him.
"When did you come back?" he asked.
"Around six o'clock." Tu Ran thought for a while.
"Did things go smoothly?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
"How is Miss Shen?"
"She's not bad."
Just as Xie Nancheng was about to ask something, Mu Wanjun threw a menu over and said, "Stop chatting, both of you. Order first."
"The roast duck with caviar here is amazing. I've already ordered it."
“It’s said to be authentic New Beijing cuisine.”
"I like Beijing cuisine the most." This was said by Yin Xiuxiu.
She didn't know when it started, but she no longer felt hostility towards Mu Wanjun.
Maybe it’s after getting the marriage certificate, or maybe it’s after getting pregnant.
In short, for the first time, she was able to follow Mu Wanjun's words, and the world was at peace.
"Didn't you say you wanted to drink?"
"Where's the wine?" Feng Yao was curious.
Lu Zhiang took out a few bottles of white wine from the cabinet behind him.
It’s not a famous liquor like Moutai, and even the packaging is very simple.
"It was a gift from a client. It's said to be a twenty-year-old vintage."
"This is a good thing, priceless." Feng Yao was a little excited.
"Pregnant women can't drink alcohol. Can I drink some hot corn juice?" Mu Wanjun asked Yin Xiuxiu.
"Can."
"Tu Tu, what about you?"
"Can I have something to drink?" Mu Wanjun shook the bottle in her hand.
Tu Ran nodded slightly.
Lu Zhiang suddenly said, "Tu Ran, don't use bugs, that's cheating."
After saying this, everyone laughed.
Tu Ran also smiled.
In fact, she knew clearly that this dinner was meant to bring her and Xie Nancheng back together.
That day, after getting drunk, Xie Nancheng told the media that his relationship had broken down.
There is no way these friends didn't know.
After asking around, I found out that something was not right between them recently.
Feng Yao and Yin Xiuxiu have both upgraded and are going to be parents.
Lu Zhiang and Mu Wanjun are also going to southern Sichuan to hold their engagement ceremony.
It's just them, whether it's because of the recent affairs of the Xie family or the exposure of the miracle doctor's identity.
These are all points where conflicts escalate.
Feng Yao and Lu Zhiang are Xie Nancheng's best friends and the only friends he recognizes.
It's impossible to ignore them as a couple.
"I promise not to cheat."
"No need for hangover medicine." Tu Ran raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Yin Xiuxiu looked innocent. "Sister-in-law, is there really such a thing as hangover medicine? I always thought it was just a scam."
"What's sold out there is really just a tax on your IQ."
“But there really is such a thing.”
"Sou Ga, sister-in-law, wait until I give birth to the baby, and then when we have a drinking party, you should also give me some of this stuff."
"I drank those fake sisters."
"Okay." Tu Ran nodded and chuckled.
Then several people started ordering food.
During the meal, Tu Ran got up and went out to answer a phone call.
It was Wei Ming calling about some matters regarding the herb garden.
Unexpectedly, when I came back, I ran into Bai Yi in the corridor.
Bai Yi was also slightly stunned.
"What a coincidence."
"Yes." Tu Ran said.
"My parents, their friends and I are here for a dinner together." Bai Yi explained.
"Nancheng, Lu Zhiang and others..." Tu Ran also said a few simple words.
"Ah, then go ahead and eat. Oh, and there's one more thing I want to tell you in advance."
When Bai Yi saw Tu Ran, he thought of the thing he had been planning for quite some time.
"What?"
Bai Yi also looked around the corridor to see if there were any cameras.
Seeing that there was no one, he said with relief, "I want to use my own money to run an organization, not for profit. All the funds will be used to solve cases, and the cases we solve are the cases that our police can't solve, you understand?"
Tu Ran was slightly stunned.
"Why do you have such an idea?" She looked at Bai Yi and asked seriously.
