834 This Behavior Was a Little Too Ugly (1/2)

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…
