Chapter 652: I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you
"Every family has its own problems. It's normal for people to have troubles in this world. Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen, but we should be able to solve it ourselves."
"Really?" Nie Xiu curled his lips. He didn't quite believe in Xie Nancheng's ability.
In his opinion, Xie Nancheng was just an impulsive and irritable hothead with no great wisdom.
Otherwise, he would not have allowed his wife to be cyberbullied.
Just as Tu Ran was about to retort, he received a call from Xu Xin.
"Young Madam."
"Can you come to the company for a moment?"
"Mr. Xie has a fever, but he refuses to go to the hospital or take medicine. He insists on going on his afternoon schedule. I really can't persuade him."
"I'll be there right away." Tu Ran hung up the phone and ran downstairs without saying a word.
Looking at that figure, Nie Xiu felt a little uncomfortable.
Is that man worthy of her?
Shengshi Group Headquarters
When Tu Ran walked to the door, Xu Xin was still complaining in a low voice.
"Young Madam, please persuade Mr. Xie."
"He listens to you the most."
"The group has indeed been in turmoil recently. He is under a lot of pressure and can't vent his emotions."
"Every day in meetings, there are always arguments between shareholders and senior management."
"Plus, the cooperation project with Mr. Lu has also failed. Now is a very bad time."
"Yeah." Tu Ran just nodded slightly.
Tu Ran was wearing a beige sweater jacket today, but she looked very cute.
The cuffs are decorated with rabbit fur, giving her a playful look that is appropriate for her age.
She wore a white woolen hat, with long hair flowing underneath it.
Wouldn’t Xie Nancheng be fascinated by this?
Sure enough, when Tu Ran pushed the door open.
Xie Nancheng was still looking down at the documents.
He thought it was Xu Xin and didn't even raise his head.
"Get out. I don't want to eat."
"You are not allowed to work if you don't eat." Tu Ran said this directly.
Only then did Xie Nancheng look up in surprise.
"Wife, why are you here?"
"Let me see who it is. He's so disobedient. He works so hard, and yet he refuses to eat?"
"What's going on here?" Tu Ran walked closer.
He leaned his hands on the desk and looked into Xie Nancheng's eyes.
The moment he saw Tu Ran, Boss Xie's heart melted.
His eyes were full of people. In his eyes, Tu Ran today was just a cute rabbit.
"Mrs. Xie, are you dressing like this to seduce me on purpose?"
Tu Ran glared angrily, "You still have the mood to make such a joke? The backyard is on fire?"
"Don't talk nonsense, there's a fire somewhere." Xie Nancheng couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub her nose.
"You didn't watch the news?"
"The whole Xiangcheng is saying that Gu Xixing and I have..."
Before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth.
"Don't mention those unlucky people."
"If I believed those news, I would be a fool." The boss didn't take it to heart at all.
"But what the news said is very detailed." Tu Ran whispered.
"News is most likely fake. Whoever has the money will be listened to. Such a big publicity stunt is obviously carefully planned. I would be a fool to believe it."
"Nancheng, Gu Xixing's father..." Tu Ran still wanted to explain it carefully.
"No need to explain, I understand."
"I also watched a part of Gu Huan's live broadcast. She begged desperately, so you went. It's normal. You are a doctor, wife. This is your job responsibility. A doctor's heart is full of compassion."
"What's more, his father is already beyond help. Whether you go or not actually has the same result, but if you go, you'll feel at ease. If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll also feel uneasy."
"Indeed, I owe him a favor regarding Wei Ming's matter." Tu Ran said silently.
"Great, we're even this time."
"Are you really not angry?" Tu Ran raised his head and looked at him.
"What else? Then I'll be angry?" Xie Nancheng asked back.
Tu Ran was so angry that he hit him, but someone grabbed his fist and put it on his chest.
"Don't make trouble, this is an office."
"I really don't want to do anything, I just want a hug." Xie Nancheng picked up the person with a smile and put him on his lap.
To him, Tu Ran's weight was negligible and he could easily pick her up.
"Come on, open your mouth."
For some unknown reason, a thermometer was stuffed into the boss's mouth.
Xie Nancheng: ...
He was stupid.
"No? Let's just say, Doctor Tu, are you so dedicated? Do you always carry a thermometer with you?"
"It's outrageous." The boss muttered.
Tu Ran smiled without saying anything, watching the numbers jumping above.
Finally, thirty-eight degrees nine.
But from the outside, it was impossible to tell that Xie Nancheng was having a fever.
He was in good spirits and his face didn't look red at all.
If Xu Xin hadn't said he was sick, outsiders really wouldn't have been able to tell.
"Nancheng, you have a fever."
"Nonsense, I'm not flirting." He was playing a pun.
Tu Ran glared angrily, "Shut up and stop making trouble. You are sick and you must take it seriously."
"Okay, okay, Doctor Tu, I'll treat it just as you say."
"Do you have a stethoscope? Feel me here. I feel uncomfortable."
Tu Ran: ...
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You'll be really angry soon."
"My doctor Tu is a professional. I know it. I will cooperate with you obediently. Is that not enough?"
"Take the fever-reducing medicine."
"Open your mouth." Tu Ran said unhappily.
Xie Nancheng obeyed obediently and opened his mouth.
Tu Ran prepared the medicine himself, and it only consisted of two small black pills.
Xie Nancheng didn't doubt it at all and swallowed it down.
"Are you not afraid of poison?"
"I'm such a good person, how can you bear to poison me?" Xie Nancheng's eyes were gentle.
"Smooth talk."
"Wife."
"Um?"
"sorry."
Xie Nancheng's words "I'm sorry" made Tu Ran feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Why are you saying sorry?" She looked into his eyes.
"I'm sorry for not protecting you."
"Originally, we agreed to let you return to Phoenix Ridge to spend a few days in peace, but... after my mother's accident, I knew that even if I asked you to leave, you wouldn't leave."
"Now I'm causing you to be cyberbullied because of my incompetence."
"That stinky drug seller probably looks down on me in his heart. And I look down on myself too."
It turned out that Xie Nancheng had been blaming himself for this incident.
"There's no need for such polite words between you and me."
"It's not a compliment, it's what I really mean."
"As your husband, I failed to protect you. I was indeed remiss in my duty."
"From the beginning to the end, I thought I had it all planned out, but I missed one thing."
"Is it about the incident where your father put a curse on someone?" Tu Ran asked.
Xie Nancheng nodded, "Yes, there was an accident, and there is no clue to solve it yet."
"My dad was like an unstable factor, he just exploded."
"He's being exploited at every step without realizing it, and he's ruthlessly hurting me and my mother."
"Everything will pass." Tu Ran didn't know how to comfort others, but seeing Xie Nancheng like this, he felt really sad.
"Wife, sometimes I think, if I were like you, without a father or a mother, I wouldn't have these troubles."
Tu Ran's face changed, "Don't say such things, it's treasonous."
"Really, I really want to kill my dad every minute. If my mom can't be saved this time, I don't plan to keep him."
"Are you stupid? You will be punished by God for killing your father." Tu Ran looked at him with heartache.
