Chapter 984: Losing Face
"Yes, it's much quieter." Mrs. Xie followed Zhou Han's words and said perfunctorily.
Zhou Han is also smart and is afraid that talking too much will annoy people.
Then he changed the subject, "Brother Nancheng has received a lot of negative news today. It feels like his opponents are deliberately trying to smear him."
"That's for sure. That brat from the fourth room is a bad seed."
"Godmother, I see that Shengshi Group hasn't issued any announcement or anything. Are they not going to explain? Or are they acquiescing to... the relationship between Brother Nancheng and that female assistant?"
"Have you and godfather met that female assistant?"
"It's not that I can't accept someone marrying Nancheng, but I hope that girl is good enough. Don't get someone like that country girl. She'll be ridiculed. She'll really be ridiculed. You don't know. Since Nancheng got married more than a year ago, I've heard a lot of comments about his poor taste. The main reason is that that girl is not presentable."
Zhou Han was testing Mrs. Xie in a roundabout way.
"How could that female assistant possibly get promoted?"
"Hanhan, please don't talk nonsense. I slapped her last time, and she is a bitch who blackmailed me. How could I let her be my daughter-in-law? Not to mention that she has no family background, I wouldn't want such a scumbag even if she has a family background. Our Xie family is already in the first tier, who cares about family background. But a small town test-taker is definitely not acceptable." The last sentence was full of irony.
It seems that Mrs. Xie also did some background checks on Han Chuxi, and found out that she was a small-town test-taker who had gotten into college.
"What do you mean, godfather?"
"Xie Huaiyu has been kicked out. After divorcing me, he has no say in this family. You might as well ask his uncle and aunt what they mean."
Zhou Han smiled and said, "But I see the Lin family has also jumped out to take advantage of the popularity. How annoying."
"Forget about the Lin family. They are even more disrespectful. They are a bunch of clowns." Mrs. Xie sneered.
Zhou Han didn't mention it again, but Mrs. Xie felt a little guilty. Before leaving, she held Zhou Han's hand and said, "Don't worry, Hanhan, I know everything you have done for me. I will not treat you unfairly."
"Godmother, we have a mother-daughter relationship. It would be awkward to say that."
"Let me take you back to rest."
"No, I'm bringing a driver today."
After dinner, Mrs. Xie took a car back to the old house.
On the way, she kept calling Xie Nancheng.
He called three times in a row and asked Xie Nancheng to come back, saying that something happened.
Xie Nancheng was having dinner with a few clients at the time, but he couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want his mother to worry too much.
He just said a few words to let Yang Xin and several executives continue to eat with the clients, and then he returned to his old house.
As soon as I entered the door, Mrs. Xie was sitting in the middle of the living room.
"Aren't you and that female assistant just playing around?"
"Why is there such a big fuss?"
"Did that little bastard Xie Yao deliberately try to discredit you... or did you just want to make such a big deal out of it?"
"All of them." Xie Nancheng did not hide it.
"Why that female assistant? She's simply not presentable."
"She is more suitable." Xie Nancheng showed no expression.
Sitting on the sofa feeling tired.
He still reeked of alcohol, and Xu Xin had driven him back.
Pinggu quickly brought out a bowl of sobering soup.
"Master Nancheng, please drink some soup first."
"Thank you." Xie Nancheng took it politely and took a few sips.
After her son finished drinking the hangover soup, Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and said, "Nancheng, I don't care how you play outside. I don't care how many women you have or what their status is. But... the one I marry must be well-known and famous. I think Hanhan is very suitable."
"It's impossible for Zhou Han, absolutely impossible." Xie Nancheng retorted.
"Then why don't you give Hanhan a child?"
"Then after the wedding, my wish will be fulfilled, okay?"
"All I want is a decent wife and a child of noble birth."
Xie Nancheng looked at his mother in disbelief.
"Mom, are you crazy?"
"What are you telling me?"
"Mine is clear, a wedding, a child."
"Give these two to Hanhan, and I won't interfere with the others. You may not love Hanhan, but I hope you can give her these two. This is my wish."
"Haha, your wish? Why do you have this wish?"
"You don't really think that Zhou Han helped you deal with Qiao Kelan, do you?"
"What else?" Mrs. Xie looked at her son seriously.
"Then I'll tell you the truth, it wasn't her who caused Qiao Kelan to have a miscarriage."
"Don't be fooled by her lies, okay?"
"Not to mention that it's not her, even if it really is her, what's the point of me marrying her? Repaying a favor? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"It's funny that you...are in love with a country bumpkin. It's laughable." Mrs. Xie was very emotional.
This sentence also completely angered Xie Nancheng.
He stood up and shouted, "But this is the bumpkin you mentioned. If it weren't for her, you would have died long ago."
"What do you mean?"
"Mom, I don't want to argue with you."
"Don't tell me what you said tonight."
"If you keep saying that...you should go abroad to retire."
After saying that, Xie Nancheng turned around, slammed the door and left.
Mrs. Xie burst into tears in anger...
Pinggu quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Madam, you are not feeling well, please don't cry."
"Look, is he speaking human language?"
"What do you mean I'd be dead without that bumpkin? You're talking as if that bumpkin saved my life... That woman came into this family, and our whole family has been laughed at. She's just a vixen, and now Nancheng is still defending her. It really makes me mad."
"A Ping, who's better, Han Han or that country bumpkin?"
"Madam, I dare not comment on your family affairs. Please calm down first."
"This is not good. The father is like this and the son is like this."
"Madam, Young Master Nancheng doesn't seem like a confused person. Don't worry...just let him follow his own heart."
"But how am I going to explain this to Hanhan?"
"A Ping, you've seen it too. Hanhan has been taking care of me for the past year. Even after the old lady passed away, she stayed here with me. I promised to help her persuade Nancheng. Now if I say no, wouldn't that be like betraying Hanhan? Where can I put my old face? Madam Zhou will scold me to death when she gets back."
After all, Mrs. Xie couldn't afford to lose face.
After all, she had once boasted that she would ask Zhou Han to help her deal with Qiao Kelan, and she was even willing to drug her.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie wiped away her tears.
"A Ping, do you know where I can buy that kind of medicine?"
"Huh? What medicine?"
"It's the kind of man on TV who takes...that kind of medicine." Mrs. Xie hesitated.
The housekeeper was also horrified, "Madam, you don't mean to..."
