Chapter 834: This Behavior Was a Little Too Ugly
On the other end of the line, Lin Nuan was silent for a moment. Liu Mingchen continued, “Now that something has happened to my family, now that my parents are implicated, I finally understand how terrible it must feel. All along, I thought… that since it was me who did this, even if they were to harm anyone, it’d be targeted at me. But it seems like things aren’t turning out as I had imagined…”
It was indeed different from what he had imagined. Liu Mingchen heard about how his family’s chain restaurants, dyeing mill, and washing factory were being investigated. Once they were ordered to close down, more than a thousand employees would be without jobs and would have nothing to live on. At the thought of this, Liu Mingchen felt especially terrible.
“The world is like this, Brother Mingchen. If everyone could do what they wanted to do without any obstructions, having the support of everyone, then ideals and dreams would be way too easy to achieve. That way, there would be no great men or saints in the world…”
Lin Nuan’s clear and pleasant voice could be heard over the phone. It had the power to comfort one’s heart.
“Brother Mingchen, I think that what you’re doing is right. Hence… I’ll do everything in my power to support you! But I’m very sorry about the matter of persuading Huai’an to take on your lawsuit. I really can’t do that, because I know that once I ask that of him, even if it goes against his will, he’ll agree. I don’t want to kidnap him using the love between us. Do you understand what I mean?”
Liu Mingchen nodded, looking down. “Nuan Nuan, I want to stop…”
Lin Nuan was silent for a moment before saying, “Mm, I can understand that!”
“After I fixed the deficiencies of Abinoque, the people who took the improved version from the start no longer had a lifetime dependency on Abinoque, and they are able to take other medication…” Liu Mingchen’s voice sounded devoid of strength.
But Liu Mingchen could do nothing about the people who took Abinoque from the start!
When he thought of this, Liu Mingchen’s heart ached…
After a long while, he said, “Nuan Nuan, can you do me one last favor? It has nothing to do with Fu Huai’an…”
“Go on, say it…”
Liu Mingchen gripped the towel in his hand tightly. “I want… to go on your show once again!”
“Okay!” Lin Nuan agreed immediately. “I’ll get Miss Xia to arrange it as soon as possible!”
“Thanks!” Liu Mingchen thanked Lin Nuan sincerely.
Lin Nuan kept quiet for a moment before saying, “Brother Mingchen, I really admire you from the bottom of my heart. You’re doing something that others are unable to do. You had an idea, and you acted on those thoughts. You’re more outstanding than anyone!”
Hearing Lin Nuan’s words, a stinging sensation hit Liu Mingchen’s eyes. “In the past, I was too sheltered, and I thought that there was only black and white in this world, so I proceeded without hesitation. But when I realized how my insistence would bring trouble to my parents, or even cause over a thousand employees to lose their jobs, I got cold feet. I’m not the person you’re describing, Nuan Nuan, you think too highly of me! I’m hanging up now…”
When Liu Mingchen hung up the call, Lin Nuan held onto her phone and remained quiet for a long time.
Liu Mingchen said that he was getting cold feet, so why did he want to get onto her show again? Lin Nuan couldn’t figure it out.
“What happened?”
Hearing Fu Huai’an’s deep voice, Lin Nuan set her phone aside and picked up the pair of chopsticks resting atop the bowl containing sesame sauce. She stirred the meat that Fu Huai’an had placed in her bowl and said, “Brother Mingchen said that he’s getting cold feet, but he asked to go on my show once more. I’m wondering… since Brother Mingchen is letting go of this matter, why does he want to go on the show again?”
Fu Huai’an placed a bowl of soup on her right-hand side and gazed up to look at her. “He naturally has his reasons for wanting to go on the show. Now that the matter has blown up, it’s no longer up to Liu Mingchen to let the matter rest!”
Lin Nuan understood what Fu Huai’an meant. With the matter of Liu Mingchen forking out his own money to manufacture drugs having been exposed, even if he wanted to stop doing it now and not blow the matter up, there would be plenty of other people who blew it up for all kinds of reasons…
Little Lu, who was only wearing a shirt, walked in. After closing the door behind him, he said to Fu Huai’an, “Sir, that Miss Sun Miaomiao called to say that she has arrived in Haicheng. I asked one of our company’s staff members to pick her up and temporarily arranged for her to stay at the employees’ dorms!”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Make the arrangements as you see fit!”
Little Lu pulled out a chair, shielded the tie before his chest as he sat down, and spoke hesitantly. “That Miss Sun said that she wants to see you and thank you in person…”
Little Lu wasn’t a fool. Instead of insisting on thanking Fu Huai’an in person, couldn’t she have thanked him over the phone?
Fu Huai’an was such a busy man, and he could only eat in peace when Lin Nuan was accompanying him. Why should he have to spare time out of his schedule just to hear a word of thanks from an unimportant person?
Little Lu had followed Fu Huai’an for many years and could guess that he likely wouldn’t meet her. Therefore, he rejected her politely on Fu Huai’an’s behalf.
“Tell her it’s nothing and that there’s no need for thanks!” Fu Huai’an clearly didn’t think much of this matter.
Little Lu nodded. “I’ve already rejected her, saying you’re not in Haicheng!”
Lin Nuan could sense the intention behind the girl wanting to thank her husband in person. She lowered her head and ate the slice of meat that Fu Huai’an put in her bowl, not angry or anything. She merely felt that there seemed to be some problems with the morals of this young lady called Sun Miaomiao, whom Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing praised!
Sun Miaomiao clearly knew that Fu Huai’an was a married man, yet she was throwing herself at him so blatantly. This behavior was a little too ugly.
Lin Nuan had just dipped the beef slice in the sauce bowl when she felt an abnormal heated sensation in her tummy. Lin Nuan’s fingers clenched around her chopsticks. She then lowered her chopsticks and picked up her phone. “I’m going to the washroom. Be back shortly!”
As Lin Nuan’s bodyguard, You Nainai naturally lowered her chopsticks as well, wanting to go with Lin Nuan.
“Nainai, there’s no need for you to accompany me. I have my phone with me! If anything’s the matter, I’ll call you!” Lin Nuan didn’t want to interrupt You Nainai in the middle of her meal.
“You’d better let her go with you!” said Fu Huai’an. “If you refuse to let her, You Nainai will be more worried!”
You Nainai nodded.
Lin Nuan had no choice but to go to the washroom with You Nainai. Once she entered the stall and saw the dark red bloodstains on her underwear, Lin Nuan felt a little disappointed. Yet, at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief.
After the anesthetic and tetanus shot, Lin Nuan was worried that should she really be pregnant, it would have an adverse effect on the child. If that happened, she would regret it and live in pain for the rest of her life!
However, didn’t her period come a little too early this time?
Lin Nuan called You Nainai on the phone. You Nainai walked to the stall that Lin Nuan entered and asked in front of it, “What’s the matter?”
“My period came, but I didn’t bring a sanitary pad…” Lin Nuan sounded a little awkward.
You Nainai knew from the body checkup that the levels of hCG in Lin Nuan’s body had increased, so she couldn’t help worrying when she heard Lin Nuan say that her period had arrived.
“The last time you went for a checkup, the doctor said that your hCG level had increased. Are you sure your period has come? Why don’t… I accompany you to the hospital for a diagnosis?” You Nainai frowned and said in a lowered voice.
With You Nainai putting it that way, Lin Nuan felt a little uncertain. She lowered her head and glanced at her underwear again, then said after careful observance, “There’s no mistake about it, I’m on my period. I’m still able to distinguish!”
