Chapter 98: Take action
"First of all, I don't think I'm so stunningly beautiful that I can make fishes, geese, moons, and flowers pale in comparison."
"Secondly, I don't think I can charm President Gu."
"But I know that it's disgusting to presume to guess what others are thinking. What do you think, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Nancheng: ...
"If you don't want to listen, forget it. There's no point in saying more."
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Xie Nancheng would be hurt in return every time he tried to be sarcastic to the other party.
Xie Nancheng turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly felt a little hungry.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed very late.
After all this trouble, it’s no wonder that I’m hungry.
"Are you hungry?" He turned around.
Tu Ran was startled at first when asked this, but then he reacted and said immediately, "I want to eat wontons."
"You're welcome." Xie Nancheng smiled.
"You asked me this yourself, why should I be polite?"
"Yes, that makes sense. You are the most genuine, Mrs. Xie."
"You're so genuine that you're dating other men without even telling them."
"Are you done yet, Xie Nancheng?"
"I'm afraid you're going to talk about this for the rest of your life. Is there nothing else to do in your group? Are you so idle?" Tu Ran was not tolerant at all.
Xie Nancheng seemed to be accustomed to being retorted and didn't take it to heart.
After making a phone call and giving some instructions, his subordinates brought the midnight snack shortly afterwards.
Tu Ran wanted to eat wontons, and Xie Nancheng ordered Cantonese beef brisket noodles.
Although they are all snacks, they taste really good because they are made by top chefs in private restaurants.
The two of them ate silently in the room, neither of them said a word.
It was not until he was full that Xie Nancheng remembered something.
"Lin Chen is looking for you?"
"Yeah." She was too lazy to ask why Xie Nancheng knew all this.
Anyway, he is a big shot, so it’s not difficult to find out anything.
"What do I want from you? To borrow money?"
"That's not the case. They gave me something, but I didn't want it."
"What is it?" Xie Nancheng was curious.
When his subordinates were reporting to him, he was in a very bad mood and had no intention of listening.
Now that he was face to face with Tu Ran, he became even more curious and wanted to hear her talk.
Tu Ran picked up a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly before slowly replying, "It seemed to be an earring or something. I forgot and wasn't paying attention. But I didn't accept it. I've always avoided Lin Chen."
Xie Nancheng nodded to show his satisfaction.
"You did the right thing. You can't take his things. The Lin family has always been a profit-seeking family. If you accept his things, there will be a trap waiting for you. Lin Chen has been courting death recently, and it's almost time."
Tu Ran heard something behind his words, but didn't ask carefully.
To be honest, she is not interested or concerned about whether the Lin family is a blessing or a curse.
"How far has the issue with your driver's license come?"
After eating, the boss was in a good mood, as if the quarrel just now was just a joke, and he even asked about the driver's license.
"The first part of the exam will be tomorrow, and the second part will be in two days."
"Have you read the question?"
"I saw it."
"Why didn't I see you reading the question? Why are you framing me?" The big guy teased her deliberately.
"You've spent less time with me than with your secretary. What can you see?"
Xie Nancheng was stunned. "Are you jealous? Are you jealous of my secretary?"
"I'm just stating the facts, Mr. Xie, please don't deliberately bring up other things."
"Okay, once you get your driver's license, I'll let the old lady pay for you to buy a car."
"Don't mention it again. I won't let grandma buy it."
I feel disgusted when I hear about the old lady buying a car.
"Then I'll buy it for you." Xie Nancheng said tentatively.
Tu Ran said nothing...
"I've figured it out. You're just trying to rip me off, and you feel comfortable doing it. The old lady won't buy it for you, but I can, right?"
"Isn't this as it should be?"
"Should what? What is supposed to be? You didn't even let me touch it, and I still bought you a car. I am such a kind person, me." Xie Nancheng laughed at himself.
"Legally, aren't we still husband and wife?" Tu Ran looked at him calmly.
"That's right, so I'll buy the car. When you get your license, tell me."
He really doesn't care about a car, it's as simple as buying a cabbage.
Tu Ran was not the kind of person who would push for more, and seeing that Xie Nancheng's attitude had softened, he was unwilling to escalate the conflict.
"Are you full?"
"Yeah." Tu Ran nodded.
"You'll be discharged tomorrow afternoon? Should I have someone pick you up?"
"No, I'll leave after finishing my brain MRI this morning. I'll take the first exam this afternoon."
"I'll ask the driver to take you."
"No, it's more convenient for me to take a taxi."
"It's up to you." After saying that, Xie Nancheng walked out.
When he reached the door, the old man suddenly turned around and said, "Gu Xixing won't come back after I leave, right?"
Tu Ran looked at him for several seconds before finally saying, "How about I call him now?"
"You dare."
"If he dares to come again, I'll break both of your legs."
Of course, this was half a joke, and after saying it, Xie Nancheng walked out of the ward.
He wasn't kind enough to stay with the patient overnight, and there was no place for him to stay in the hospital.
Tu Ran didn't take today's incident seriously. Xie Nancheng always spoke harshly, and she was used to it.
However, it was indeed a surprise that Gu Xixing came to see him.
Xiangcheng, villa area
Xie Huaishan and Yang Xin returned home, but couldn't sleep and felt uneasy in the dormitory.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Xie Huaishan came out of the shower and saw his wife still walking back and forth in the living room, looking anxious.
"Where can I sleep?"
"Is it because of Nancheng's wife?"
"Your second sister always forces me to do it, hey."
"If we don't do it now, it will be more difficult to do it when she gets pregnant," said Yang Xin.
Xie Huaishan nodded, "That's the truth."
"It's not a good thing for us for Nancheng to have a child, no matter whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl."
"So I'm thinking, should I take action in a few days?" Yang Xin was conflicted.
"Do you have a good chance? She is in college now. You don't want to do it in school, do you? That won't work. There are so many people and surveillance cameras in school, it will be easy to be exposed." Xie Huaishan was much more cautious.
Yang Xin shook her head. "No, I found out she's taking the driving test. The second and third tests are both good opportunities to take action."
"That's a good idea."
"The second test is in a closed area, there aren't many people around. Although there are surveillance cameras, you only need to sit in the car and do nothing."
"Wife, then you should do it quickly. It's better to strike first."
"You said that crippling the person is enough, not necessarily killing him, right? I... I can't bring myself to do it. To be honest, I have no grudge against that little girl Tu Ran. She was quite nice to our Tongtong these two times."
"Just do whatever you want." Xie Huaishan comforted.
"But your second sister will definitely not agree. She has always been ruthless in her actions."
"She will definitely make me do something drastic and kill that girl."
"Mom, Dad, who are you going to kill?"
At some point, Xie Jiatong woke up and quietly came downstairs.
I also heard some conversations between the couple.
The couple both turned around and were terrified when they saw their daughter.
