Chapter 59: Pure coward
"Do they dare?"
"Although the Peng family is now a top-tier noble family, they are nothing compared to the Xie family."
"It makes me angry just thinking about it. Peng Yuan is such a scumbag, a complete wimp."
"You only dare to cause trouble but not take responsibility." Lin Siyao sat down on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest.
"Why did I hear that he was shouting loudly and said he wanted to retaliate?" Lin Chen said.
"Everyone can brag, but if you get beaten up, you can't just stay silent."
"But I know Peng Yuan. He doesn't have his own opinions and mainly listens to his parents."
"My parents-in-law want me to stop provoking Xie Nancheng."
"Just hit him, it's useless."
"He deserves a beating. It's his fault for talking so dirty." Lin Siyao originally wanted to shine at the birthday party, but she didn't expect that not only did she fail to suppress Tu Ran, she also became a laughing stock.
Peng Yuan is her husband. If something like this happens, she will only be laughed at.
"Yaoyao, where is your necklace?"
"Your necklace is really beautiful. It must be worth a lot of money." Mrs. Lin noticed that when the woman came back, the red coral was gone.
"I... left it at home. I didn't dare take it with me for fear of losing it."
Lin Siyao was too embarrassed to say that it was a temporary loan from her mother-in-law.
It wasn't a gift for her at all, and she was too embarrassed to say it even in front of her own parents.
"Peng Yuan is not as good as Xie Nancheng. At least the root carving Xie Nancheng gave was worth millions." said Lin's father.
"What's the use? You can't sell it." Lin Chen looked displeased.
"It can't be sold, but it still has value. It would look nice in the living room, but that old man Peng Yuan didn't give me anything. The Peng family actually didn't even give me a courtesy."
"Come to think of it, it seems that the Xie family also has the old lady, Mrs. Xie, and Chairman Xie, who all gave red envelopes. The old lady of the Xie family gave 100,000 yuan alone, and Xie Nancheng's parents also gave 200,000 yuan. From this point of view, the Xie family is still generous. Yaoyao, if you hadn't done such a thing in the past, it would have been great to marry into the Xie family. After all, they are a wealthy family, not comparable to the nouveau riche family like the Peng family." At this moment, Mrs. Lin also looked down on the Peng family.
As his in-laws, the Peng family not only refused to spend money, but also caused trouble at the birthday party, which really brought shame to them.
Lin Siyao was furious when she heard that.
"Is it useful to say this now?"
"Didn't you agree to that at the beginning?"
"I was just unlucky. I didn't expect Xie Nancheng's eyes to heal so quickly."
"I didn't expect Peng Yuan to be just a decoration. He has no money at all, and the Peng family is difficult to deal with."
"That bitch Tu Ran got off so cheaply."
Lin Siyao couldn't shake the Peng and Xie families, so she could only curse and blame Tu Ran.
When Lin Siyao talked about Tu Ran, a hint of red flashed through Lin Chen's mind.
At the birthday party, Tu Ran wore a pink cheongsam with a red coral necklace, which was really elegant and gorgeous.
It's like they are two different people, and it really proves the old saying that clothes make the man.
"Brother, why are you in a daze? I'm asking you a question."
Lin Siyao pushed Lin Chen, and he came back to his senses.
"Um?"
"Achen, how much money did you collect this time?"
"It's less than three million, but the birthday banquet alone cost seven or eight hundred thousand."
"It's not a loss. There are still more than two million left." Mrs. Lin muttered.
"I didn't expect the Peng and Xie families to pull this trick. I thought each of them had at least a million in assets. Mom, I need money. I need a lot of cash for my recent investments. You have to help me find a solution."
Lin Chen once again directly mentioned that he needed money.
The Lin couple always respond to their son's requests.
"Yaoyao has already lent me some, and I still need a lot. Mom, you might as well go find Tu Ran." Lin Chen said.
"How can she be rich?" Mrs. Lin was stunned.
"She has the Xie family behind her now, let her talk to the Xie family."
"I heard that the old lady of the Xie family likes her very much."
"Is this information accurate? Where did you hear it from?" Mrs. Lin was stunned.
Lin Siyao was also surprised and looked at her brother.
After all, the outside world doesn’t know enough details about the Xie family’s affairs.
"Of course I have my own way of finding out. I also know that a few days ago, the old lady of the Xie family went to Baiyun Temple to worship Buddha and took her with her. It can be seen that she likes it very much."
"You mean... you want me to talk to Ranran and ask her to talk to the Xie family?"
"Just talk to the old lady. The old lady of the Xie family has plenty of money." It turned out that Lin Chen had set his sights on the old lady of the Xie family.
"Okay, then I'll go find her tomorrow." Mrs. Lin always called her "Ranran" in front of others.
But in fact, she didn't like this girl who had no blood relationship with her. She didn't hate her, but she didn't like her.
"Dad, go to the safe and take out a medicinal herb." Lin Chen ordered.
"Do you want the one that Old Man Tu mailed to me?"
"Yes, but don't take them all out. Pick one at random to test her foundation. Don't touch the ginseng."
"Okay." Father Lin stood up immediately.
Lin Chen likes to play tricks and deliberately use small favors to seduce Tu Ran.
His grandfather mailed a large package that year, which contained many unknown medicinal herbs.
The Lin family doesn't make medicine, so they can't use it at all.
Apart from the century-old ginseng, he had the bronze artifact appraised by someone. Although it was genuine, it was worth only a few hundred thousand at most.
The rest are a few unfamiliar medicinal herbs. If Tu Ran misses her grandfather, she will definitely be moved when she sees these.
"What if she refuses to lend it?" Mrs. Lin was still a little worried.
"Do we have to give her the herbs too?"
"Well, give it to her whether you lend it or not."
"I'll find someone to film it and give it to Xie Nancheng when the time comes."
"Xie Nancheng has always been suspicious. If he knew that Tu Ran accepted the things we sent him."
"You'd have to think we had some sort of deal."
"It's hard to say whether it will be there by then."
"That's a good idea, brother, you're really amazing."
"If Xie Nancheng doubts her, her life will be difficult in the future." Lin Siyao was immediately happy.
Lin Chen nodded. "That's right. If she wants to continue staying in the Xie family, she will definitely need our support behind the scenes. She will understand these principles."
"That's right. She's just a wild girl from the countryside. How could she have made a living? If our family hadn't taken her in, she would have been picking up trash in the past four years." Lin Siyao agreed.
"Brother, you'd better get them divorced." Lin Siyao added.
"Under the current circumstances, even if we get divorced, Xie Nancheng won't marry you." Lin Chen was heartbroken.
"It's okay if you don't marry me. I just can't bear to see Tu Ran taking my place and living a good life." Lin Siyao was full of jealousy. She let Tu Ran replace her only because they didn't dare to offend the Xie family and directly cancel the engagement and send a little girl to marry a blind man.
Now that the blind man is no longer blind, the family regrets their decision again.
The next morning
"Grandma, are you going out?"
After breakfast, the old lady dressed up and went downstairs.
"Ranran, come on, grandma will take you to meet an important person." Old Mrs. Xie smiled.
Tu Ran was slightly stunned. Big shot? Take her with you? Is it necessary? She doesn't need to socialize.
"Young Madam, please change your clothes quickly and don't waste the kindness of the old man." Pinggu, who knew everything, also urged Tu Ran with a smile, as if something good was waiting for her.
