Chapter 898: Write down what you want
After a while, Xie Nancheng slowly said, "Mom, do you still want me to have a good meal?"
Mrs. Xie suddenly felt guilty and looked away.
"I've been very busy with work lately."
"You don't have to bring me breakfast."
"I am a grown-up, and I won't go hungry."
"I might have to go on a few more business trips soon."
"You and my dad just need to take care of ourselves."
Mrs. Xie watched her son finish his breakfast and did not mention Tu Ran again.
Afterwards, the two parted ways.
But Mrs. Xie did not give up.
She called Tu Ran.
Tu Ran: Hello?
Mrs. Xie: It’s me, Nancheng’s mother.
Tu Ran: Auntie, what’s the matter?
Mrs. Xie: You changed your words so quickly, haha.
Tu Ran: Auntie, you have something to do, I don’t have time to argue with you on the phone.
Mrs. Xie: Don’t worry, my time is precious too. Let’s meet and talk. I must have something to talk to you about.
Tu Ran: Is this afternoon available? I'm a bit busy this morning.
Mrs. Xie: Are you still putting on airs? Are you that busy? Not even half an hour? Then I'll come find you. Where are you? No need to come out. I'll find you.
Mrs. Xie didn't know where Tu Ran's medicine garden base was, and she was too lazy to ask.
Tu Ran felt helpless.
It wasn't that she was deliberately making excuses.
It was indeed time to carry out the task that Gu Xixing had entrusted her with.
But, Mrs. Xie insisted on doing so, so she had no choice but to make time for it.
Tu Ran: You decide the location, and I’ll go there.
Mrs. Xie: Qingyunxuan Teahouse, No. 7 Hemei Road.
Tu Ran: Okay.
Tu Ran finally put down what he was doing and drove to meet Mrs. Xie.
Tu Ran knew that Xie Nancheng's mother didn't like him.
If there was nothing going on, I probably wouldn't want to see her.
In the private room of the teahouse.
Tu Ran knocked on the door and came in.
Mrs. Xie was already sitting on the Japanese tatami with a serious expression.
"Auntie, what do you want from me?"
"I heard that Nancheng asked for a divorce, but you refused?"
"If you hadn't been dragging your feet, the formalities would have been completed long ago?"
Tu Ran nodded and admitted generously, "Yes, I don't want to get a divorce."
"Why are you so shameless?"
"Since Nancheng wants a divorce, he must have no feelings for you anymore."
"Why are you so persistent?"
"Have you never heard of the saying, 'A forced melon isn't sweet'?"
"Auntie, I have my concerns too." Tu Ran replied calmly.
Mrs. Xie sneered, "Haha, what are your concerns?"
"What else do you have to worry about?"
"It's nothing more than unwillingness."
"The first is that I'm unwilling to accept that Nancheng dumped you."
"The second is that you want to get a bigger share. This is just your trick. Do you think I don't understand?"
Tu Ran was about to explain when Madam Xie interrupted, "But I'm telling you, you don't have to be unwilling to accept this. It's not shameful for Nancheng to dump you. Don't force your way into a circle you can't fit into. You weren't from the upper class to begin with, and you don't have a family. If you hadn't been lucky enough to marry into Nancheng when he went blind, replacing that girl from the Lin family, someone like you would never have been able to marry into a wealthy family like ours."
"Am I right?" After being humiliated, Mrs. Xie still asked for confirmation.
Fortunately, Tu Ran has always been emotionally stable.
She was not unhappy at all. On the contrary, it was reasonable for Mrs. Xie to say these words.
If she gets enthusiastic, I'll be at a loss.
"You're right." Tu Ran agreed.
"In that case, meeting my son is already a blessing for you. Being able to be together as a legal couple for a year is even more of a blessing from your ancestors. What else is there to be unwilling about?"
"In the final analysis, it's my son who loses and you who wins."
"You're right." Tu Ran continued to agree.
Mrs. Xie picked up the teacup and took a sip, not even bothering to raise her eyes.
Take out a piece of pure white paper and a pen.
"You don't want a divorce, it's just that your own demands haven't been met."
"Come on, if you have any requests, tell me."
"Write down whatever you want on paper."
"As long as it's not too outrageous, I'll try my best to satisfy you."
"Don't bother me anymore. We are all young people, and you are not an idle person either. Didn't you go buying jewelry with a mysterious man yesterday? Don't pretend to be affectionate. You just want money." Mrs. Xie smiled contemptuously.
Tu Ran took a deep breath, "Are you investigating me?"
“Hehe, do I need to investigate?”
"Xiangcheng is only this big."
“We are also frequent customers of top luxury jewelry stores.”
“If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it.”
"The guy from yesterday was just my friend." Tu Ran told the truth.
Mrs. Xie waved her hand. "I'm sorry, I don't want to hear your excuses. No matter which man you go shopping with or buy things with in the future, it has nothing to do with our Xie family. I just hope that you and my son can part ways amicably."
"Stop looking at the basin while eating from the pot."
"Don't be too mean at such a young age."
"I?"
"bad?"
Tu Ran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud.
"Auntie, if I'm bad."
"You wouldn't be standing in front of me right now and mocking me."
"What do you mean? Do you want to attack me?" Mrs. Xie misunderstood.
Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Tu Ran didn't bother to explain further.
"Auntie, divorce is ultimately a matter between the two of us."
"I can understand your concern for your son."
"But we are not children anymore. It is better for adults to solve their own problems."
"I won't ask you for anything."
"But thank you for being willing to sit down and talk with me today."
"What do you mean?"
"You think I can't make the decision?" Mrs. Xie frowned.
"No, I just want to deal with this matter between me and Nancheng alone."
"If you have any objections to what happened yesterday, ask Nancheng to question me, and I will answer truthfully."
"Okay, thank you for the tea, Auntie. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Tu Ran felt that there was no point in continuing to waste time.
Divorce should not be told to the elders.
"Wait."
"Wait a moment."
"Auntie, do you have anything else to say?" Tu Ran still gave her enough face because she was Xie Nancheng's mother.
"The old lady's will."
"Give it back."
"Don't force us to do anything to you."
"What will?" Tu Ran was also puzzled.
"Still pretending?"
"When the old lady died, she left all the jewels to you."
"Those things are not yours to take."
"You're not eligible to take it."
"Let me put it this way, Yang Xin is not qualified to take you, understand?"
It turns out that persuading Tu Ran to divorce is a small matter, and forcing her to hand over the jewelry is the real thing.
The old lady's jewels are all priceless.
Mrs. Xie had been unhappy for a long time because she didn't get anything.
So, this matter is the most important.
"Auntie, I didn't take any of the jewelry."
"Because I never accepted this gift."
"Grandma's things naturally belong to the Xie family. Of course, they don't belong to me."
“These things are all in Nancheng’s hands.”
"Go ask him."
After saying that, Tu Ran turned and left.
Mrs. Xie immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the jewels were still in her son's hands. That's good, that's good!
As soon as Tu Ran left the teahouse, he received a call from Uncle Sun.
Uncle Sun rarely called her, and when he did, it was always because of something.
As expected...
"Girl, come to the clinic."
"Someone here wants to see you by name."
"Oh? Okay, Uncle Sun, I'll be there right away." Coincidentally, the person was also in the city, so Tu Ran stepped on the accelerator and went to Uncle Sun's clinic.
