Chapter 857: Lantern Festival (Part 1)
Xie Nancheng thought he would find some surprise in the trumpet.
But unfortunately, Tu Ran’s small account was not registered for long.
The oldest one was not long ago, just before the New Year.
And she has always been a man of few words.
All the updates from the secondary accounts add up to less than ten.
——I had already prepared myself to face life and death, but I didn’t expect to wake up.
Han Chuxi might not be able to figure out this sentence even if he pondered it for a year.
But Xie Nancheng knew that it was after Tu Ran was rescued.
——He suddenly proposed to break up, and I thought he was throwing a tantrum.
——It seems he has made up his mind.
——I am never afraid of the dead. Even though we are separated by two worlds, I still love you.
This sentence should be about the death of grandma.
Xie Nancheng read every word, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Even read a sentence over and over again and recite it silently.
Ranran didn't say much, but every word was sad.
The last one is more heartbreaking -
She wrote: If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have woken up.
Xie Nancheng could feel her grievance, sadness, and even grief.
But there was no way, he really couldn't bear to see her die.
So he made a choice between her death and her living and not belonging to him.
After reading it, Xie Nancheng carefully collected it, as if he had discovered a treasure.
The next day, Tu Ran prepared to go to Chenyuan to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
In the morning, I first gave Uncle Sun a portion of the glutinous rice balls I had made, as well as a portion of meat-filled dumplings.
Seeing that Uncle Sun was still busy, Tu Ran couldn't bear to leave and stayed to help Uncle Sun.
By the time I finished, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning.
During this time, Chen Yingli had sent a WeChat message urging her to go eat.
Tu Ran then drove to Chen Garden alone.
The trunk of the car is filled with snacks and fruits bought from imported supermarkets.
Miss Shen loves fruits and snacks.
As for Boss Nie, she didn't know what he liked.
I simply bought a set of shampoo specifically for men.
It is currently the top luxury brand of hair care products. Of course, she is not sure whether others will use it.
But when you go to someone's house for a meal, you definitely can't go empty-handed.
Being low-key doesn’t mean you don’t know how to deal with people.
Chen Yingli is dressed very beautifully today.
Inside was a light red winter cheongsam with plum blossoms printed on it.
He also wore a new Chinese style furry vest in white.
She is so fair and rosy, and Chen Yingli is a delicate beauty herself.
She stood at the door, in this ancient building, a picture of national beauty.
Tu Ran parked the car, opened the door and got out.
"You are too low-key."
"See you keep driving this Volvo."
"Is Xie Nancheng stingy and won't buy it for you?" Shen Yingli joked.
Tu Ran was also amused.
He shook his head. "No, he's always been very generous to me, but I don't like people who drive too high-profile. It attracts too much attention. This car is good. It's enough for daily transportation. It's already a luxury."
"Why did you buy so many things? You're so polite."
"I asked you to come and eat, not to spend money."
Chen Yingli looked at Tu and saw that the trunk was full, so he quickly waved for someone to come and move it.
"They are all small things, not worth much."
"They are just some fruit snacks."
"This is... for Mr. Nie. I don't know if he will dislike it." Tu Ran took out the set of men's shampoo + conditioner.
Chen Yingli chuckled, "The gift you gave me is so special, but also so practical. I like it."
"I believe Xiu will like it too." Shen Yingli added.
Then, Chenyuan's nanny began to pack these things.
The kitchen is already busy preparing the Lantern Festival lunch.
Tu Ran was invited in and sat in the luxurious living room, drinking tea with Shen Yingli.
"Don't you need to go back to Beijing to visit your elders?" Tu Ran felt that it was a bit strange that the two young people, Shen Yingli and Nie Xiu, had been staying in Shen Garden all the time and did not go back during the Spring Festival.
Stayed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"No, the elders have all returned to Beijing."
"It doesn't matter whether I go back or not, it depends on Xiu."
"But Xiu doesn't want to go back, so I won't go back either."
"Otherwise, he will be the only one left in Chenyuan."
"It's also extremely boring."
"Indeed." Tu Ran nodded.
"How are you living in the medicine garden base?" Chen Yingli asked.
"Very good, very quiet."
"It's just inconvenient to purchase, after all, it's too far from the city," said Shen Yingli.
"No, it's winter now. We can drive to buy food once and it's enough to eat for several days. Wei Ming and his friends can drive. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to move, they drive to buy food. It's actually quite convenient."
"But the living quarters are a bit shabby. Didn't Xie Nancheng say he would help you make a one-to-one replica of Phoenix Ridge? That's why I stopped building the house in the medicine garden, thinking of letting you live in the replica Phoenix Ridge cabin. But... now that construction has stopped, it's a bit awkward. I figured I'd help you build it."
"No, this is good enough. Don't invest unnecessary money."
"I know what you mean."
"I've also told him in South City not to spend any more money on construction. That's it."
"That piece of land is quite large. It would be a shame to leave it empty." Chen Yingli carefully recalled the layout of the medicine garden.
"It's not a pity. I plan to plant peach trees as soon as the weather warms up. I think they'll be ready to eat in August or September. They're Yangmingshan peaches, very sweet."
"You really have a brilliant idea. What a great idea." Chen Yingli was in a very good mood and kept chatting with Tu Ran.
"Miss Shen, we can start eating."
"Everything is ready." The nanny came to report.
"Okay, let's eat. Go call the backyard staff."
“Okay, Miss Shen.”
Not long after, Nie Xiu brought Xiao Jie to the front yard.
Chenyuan prepared a total of three tables this time.
Chen Yingli, Tu Ran, and Nie Xiu were sitting at the host table in the main hall.
There are two tables in the restaurant outside, each of which can seat ten people.
The Chen Garden was just full of workers, nannies, and bodyguards going up and down.
In fact, there are more than twenty people in Chenyuan, but some of them are still in their hometowns and have not returned.
Xiaojie also sat at the other two tables with them.
But, the dishes are the same.
A total of twenty-two dishes and a big pot of dumplings.
Candies, nuts, rice balls, drinks, juices, everything you can think of.
Most of these twenty-two dishes are things that ordinary people may never have eaten in their lifetime.
For example, king crab and grouper.
For example, wild nine-segment shrimp and black abalone.
Tu Ran has never had much interest in eating, but she didn't want to spoil the fun.
She eats whatever Chen Yingli picks for her.
Nie Xiu rarely wore a dark gray suit, which made him look even more out of touch with reality than usual.
He didn't say anything, and Tu Ran pretended not to see him and just lowered his head to eat.
"Xiu, this is a gift from Tu Ran."
Shen Yingli remembered this and quickly handed over the hygiene condom that Tu Ran brought.
Tu Ran was actually very embarrassed. What she was more afraid of was seeing Boss Nie's disdainful look.
So I was mentally prepared for this, but still… it’s not nice to get negative feedback.
