Chapter 74: War between Women
Feng Yao almost dropped his jaw in shock. The last time they met, he even teased this guy about why he didn't bring his newlywed wife out.
He brought people here directly, but Fu Yunni was also there.
Feng Yao has been doting on his celebrity girlfriend Ling Fei'er recently, so he agreed to help Ling Fei'er organize the party.
Ling Fei'er and Fu Yunni are good friends in the circle, and Ling Fei'er recently received a high-end dress from Fu Yunni.
I wanted to take advantage of the situation and do a favor, but I didn't know that the boss came with his wife.
Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
The other young couple had little presence. They were a younger cousin that Feng Yao called over.
He comes from a well-off family and just wants to make up the numbers to play cards.
"It turns out to be my sister-in-law. I've heard a lot about you."
After Feng Yao reacted, he quickly stood up and greeted them.
"My buddy, Feng Yao."
Tu Ran glanced at the man calmly, her peach blossom eyes particularly noticeable.
Feng Yao is well-known in the circle for being a playboy, but the Feng family does have the ability to do so.
"Hello." She nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier to bring your sister-in-law here?" Feng Yao looked at Xie Nancheng helplessly.
Xie Nancheng also looked helpless. He really didn't plan to bring Tu Ran with him.
But the old lady tried her best to bring them together, which led to this situation. Who could have thought?
But then again, Xie Nancheng himself is not a lustful person.
When I'm with Feng Yao and the others, all we do is drink and play cards.
There’s nothing wrong with bringing Tu Ran here.
Of course, if he knew that Fu Yunni was there, he would not have brought Tu Ran with him, and he would not have come himself.
Although this female star is pretty, her personality... Xie Nancheng is quite disgusted by it.
So as soon as he entered the door, Fu Yunni took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically, but he simply ignored her.
Fu Yunni felt a little embarrassed and immediately greeted Tu Ran again, "We meet again, Madam Xie."
This time, she didn't dare not call her Madam Xie directly. After all, Xie Nancheng had just introduced her so grandly.
"You two know each other, right? Nini?"
Ling Feier actually asked the question even though she knew the answer. She already knew this.
"Well, last time I was trapped in the hospital, it was thanks to Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie that they rescued me."
"Since we know each other, let's play cards together." Ling Feier quickly tried to smooth things over.
The people who organized the party today were Feng Yao and her, and she couldn't let the scene become deserted.
So I took the initiative to organize...
"I... am not very good at it." Tu Ran had indeed never played cards.
But during the four years I stayed at the Lin family, I often saw Mrs. Lin inviting people to play cards at home. After seeing it so often, I knew a little more about it.
"It's okay. I'll teach you. It's very simple." Although Ling Feier didn't like Tu Ran, she didn't dare to ignore her. After all, she was the woman brought by Xie Nancheng.
"Just play with them. I'll go have a drink over there."
After Xie Nancheng said this, he, Feng Yao, and Feng Yao's cousin opened a bottle of whiskey.
It's so pleasant to chat and drink.
Tu Ranze sat down helplessly and started playing cards with the three of them.
She sat downstairs from Ling Feier, opposite Fu Yunni.
The person sitting next to him was Feng Yao’s cousin’s girlfriend, a quiet girl.
Ling Feier briefly explained the rules and then started.
Tu Ran was not used to it at first, so he just threw away the cards he picked up because they were useless.
"eat."
"bump."
"Oh, eating again." The little girl kept eating and touching the cards.
Fu Yunni looked at Tu Ran opposite her as if he was a fool.
"Mrs. Xie, if you keep doing this, the next family will be fed up with you in no time."
"If you fire the cannon, all three of us will lose money."
"Can you please be more careful when you play your cards, please?"
"Okay." Tu Ran was not angry. He nodded and actually listened carefully.
After playing a few games late, I gradually figured out the trick and became quite good at it.
During this time, Ling Feier and Fu Yunni looked at each other and deliberately chatted loudly to attract the men's attention.
Ling Fei'er: "Error itself is an inevitable step in reaching the truth. Truth is discovered because of error. This is what the French philosopher Plato said. I like this quote the most. Do you have any favorite philosophers?"
Fu Yunni immediately challenged Tu Ran, "Mrs. Xie, please speak first?"
Because the noise was so loud, it immediately attracted the attention of the men who were drinking whiskey nearby.
Especially Feng Yao and Xie Nancheng, they turned their gazes unconsciously.
Tu Ran paused slightly as she grabbed the cards. "Miss Ling, let me correct you. This statement wasn't made by Plato, but by Hegel. Also, Plato wasn't a French philosopher, but from ancient Greece."
Ling Feier: ...
Fu Yunni: ...
The air suddenly became extremely awkward and the entire room was silent.
The girl who had been silent the whole time was also a returnee from overseas. She nodded in agreement and said, "Mrs. Xie is right. This sentence was indeed said by Hegel. Miss Ling may have remembered it wrongly."
At this moment, Feng Yao's face was filled with embarrassment.
He even felt a little ashamed to face Xie Nancheng.
"Ah, I did remember it wrong. I know it was Hegel's. I've learned too much and am a little confused. I'm sorry." After all, she was a celebrity and had a quick mind, so Ling Feier immediately tried to smooth things over.
Fu Yunni persisted and asked, "Mrs. Xie, which philosopher do you like, and which famous quote do you like?"
"The ones I like are from our own country. I think they can no longer be called philosophers, but saints."
"For example, Lao Tzu's saying: Misfortune is the root of good fortune, and good fortune is the root of misfortune."
"There are also those who obtained the One in the past. Heaven obtained the One and became clear. Earth obtained the One and became peaceful. The gods obtained the One and became spiritual. The valleys obtained the One and became animate. The dukes obtained the One and made the world right."
After Tu Ran said this, Fu Yunni and Ling Feier were both stunned.
They are all female stars, graduated from film academies, and their academic level is not high.
Their research on these Chinese classics is even less than that. Laozi and the others know about them, but they have no idea what these words mean. They feel like they are listening to a professor's lecture in college when they hear what Tu Ran just said.
Feng Yao was a little shocked. "My sister-in-law is quite good. She knows a lot."
Xie Nancheng didn't say anything, but his eyes gradually became deeper as he looked at Tu Ran.
"What else? Do you like other philosophers?" Ling Feier did not give up and continued to ask.
She even felt that perhaps the woman in front of her only knew how to show off a few words.
Because they had done a rough investigation before, it was said that Xie Nancheng's mysterious wife was the adopted daughter of the wealthy Lin family.
But in fact, the Lin family can no longer be considered a wealthy family and has become somewhat inferior.
As the adopted daughter of the Lin family, they also found out that this woman had never been to school, had no education, and came from the mountains.
At that time, Fu Yunni was shocked.
She would never have thought that a big man like Xie Nancheng would marry a village girl.
While refreshing her three views, she immediately gained confidence in herself.
I feel that with my looks, emotional intelligence, scheming and charm, it would be easy for me to squeeze out this village girl in minutes.
"Do we have to continue talking about this?" Tu Ran felt helpless.
"Mrs. Xie, you don't just know these few sentences and nothing else, right?" Fu Yunni mocked half-jokingly.
