Already Very Satisfied
← Ch.0841 | Ch.0843 → |
The relationship between Lin Ran and Lin Nuan elevated to another level because of this shared secret they had to keep from the rest of the family.
"Are you going to report on Liu Mingchen's matter?" Lin Ran changed the subject to the hottest topic currently—Liu Mingchen.
"He might come on my show in a few days' time..."
"Then... will Liu Mingchen be imprisoned or be declared innocent and acquitted? He's doing this to save lives! I've seen the news, and over ten thousand patients signed a petition to plea for Liu Mingchen! He's the pride of our nation... the youngest Nobel Prize winner! As the saying goes, judgment isn't required upon all occasions, but discretion is. The judge should acquit Liu Mingchen, right?"
Lin Ran had previously only glossed over Liu Mingchen's news. But this time... when she found out that Lin Chen had a tumor, Lin Ran was more concerned about this drug called Abinoque, hence learning more about Liu Mingchen and his story!
Lin Ran had a lot of respect for Liu Mingchen!
He was already a successful and famous person who could originally have led a wonderful life!
But, in order for more poor people to be able to take their medication to extend their lives, he had gone against the law and involved himself in such danger!
Lin Ran felt that Liu Mingchen was a noble, pure, moral person who was above the lowly pleasures of the world, a person who was beneficial to humanity.
Lin Ran only asked because she knew that Lin Nuan and Liu Mingchen were old acquaintances, and since Fu Huai'an used to be a lawyer who had never tasted defeat, she guessed that Lin Nuan must have asked Fu Huai'an.
Recalling what Fu Huai'an said at the law firm with Lei Hongtao, Lin Nuan said, "Regardless of Liu Mingchen's motive, whether or not he did it for his own profit, he did indeed break the law! It's inevitable for him to be sentenced, but the lawyer can try to fight for less than three years and probation!"
Lin Ran nodded, then stood up."A probation means there's a chance he won't need to go to prison! It'd be a waste for a man like Liu Mingchen to stay in prison. He should shine in a research lab with his talents! I'll go get something to drink. What do you want?"
"Nothing, thanks..."
Lin Ran had just left when the door to the ward was opened. Little Lu had come out to look for Lin Nuan. Seeing Lin Nuan sitting on the long bench, he asked her to go in.
Lin Chen had changed into the hospital uniform of Furen Hospital and was standing in front of the window.
Perhaps because he hadn't expected to see Lin Nuan come so fast, he frowned and extinguished the cigarette he had just taken a puff of, then opened the windows."You'd better not come on the day of my surgery! Lin Ran will be around, and that'll do..."
Lin Nuan felt her throat tighten. She had just opened her mouth and wanted to say something when she saw Fu Huai'an's hinting look, which made her keep quiet."I won't come if you stop smoking..."
"Don't say one thing and do another like today!" Lin Chen turned his head away, his dark eyes appearing calm."Go back with Fu Huai'an first! I'm fine here. After the surgery, I'll go right back to Haicheng. I told Dad and Mom that I was going overseas on a business trip and that Lin Ran insisted on tagging along for some fun. If you have the time, go back and visit Dad and Mom! If I don't manage to rush back for Dad's birthday..."
"Your health is more important. There are Huai'an and me for Dad's birthday! We'll help Dad celebrate. You just focus on getting well. That would be the greatest birthday gift for Dad!"
Lin Nuan interrupted Lin Chen, afraid he might say something inauspicious.
Nodding, Lin Chen asked Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an to go back first.
Having made a trip to Jincheng, regardless of whether it was Lin Chen's illness or Liu Mingchen's case, Lin Nuan felt reassured in her heart.
After Lin Chen's surgery was over, after Liu Mingchen's lawsuit was over, and she managed to get pregnant, everything would get better!
Lin Nuan wanted to call Xie Jingqian and treat her to a meal to thank her, but Fu Huai'an said that she and Ji Zibai had gone to Milan and weren't in Jincheng.
Since they were already in Jincheng, Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan decided to go to Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's place to visit them.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing asked Fu Huai'an about Sun Miaomiao's matter. Little Lu answered on his behalf, saying that everything had been arranged, and only then did Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing feel reassured.
Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing were honest folks. They had felt bad since Little Blessing had caused Sun Miaomiao to miss out on her internship opportunity, so they couldn't help asking about Sun Miaomiao, who had gone to Haicheng for an internship.
Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan didn't eat at Uncle Blessing and Aunt Blessing's place before leaving. Aunt Blessing felt bad about that, yet she didn't have anything she could give to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an to take back. So, she placed the kimchi she had made in a glass container and gave it to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an for them to take back, saying that it tasted good with porridge.
Lin Nuan didn't want to reject Aunt Blessing's kind intentions, so she accepted the kimchi.
On the way back, Lin Nuan leaned against Fu Huai'an, looking at the passing scenery outside the car window while lost in her thoughts.
Fu Huai'an grabbed Lin Nuan's hand and brought up the topic of the military show that Xing Feng wanted to do."I heard from Fang Yan that the military show plans to do a direct broadcast instead of making a recording and broadcasting it later?"
Lin Nuan was pulled out of her thoughts. She nodded and said, "We also plan to shorten Wang Mang's scenes. Miss Xia and I are doing this in consideration of Wang Mang's safety in the future. We came to this decision after discussing things with Xing Feng! A few days ago, I saw an article regarding narcotics police and their undercovers. There was a child who called out to his undercover father on the street. Then, subsequently, this narcotics officer's entire family, including that child, was killed. Their bodies were dumped in front of the police station's entrance as a form of demonstration..."
When Lin Nuan mentioned this, she couldn't help thinking of Feng Yang and his wife.
She held Fu Huai'an's arm tightly."There are many special forces soldiers who have retired. The missions they have been on can't be exposed, so we only want to introduce them and will try our best not to reveal their faces! If there's really a need for him to show his presence, we can use fictional characters or other means to make sure their faces don't get exposed."
Fu Huai'an nodded."You guys are very considerate..."
Perhaps because Fu Huai'an was by her side, it took Lin Nuan no time to fall asleep as she leaned against his arm.
By the time Lin Nuan woke up, they had already reached Haicheng.
"Have we reached Haicheng?" Lin Nuan straightened her body and rubbed her stiff neck. The suit jacket over her fell to the ground. She lowered her head to pick it up, shook it, then hugged it to her chest.
"We'll be home soon. You can have a good sleep in bed when we get home!" Fu Huai'an locked his phone screen, then looked down at Lin Nuan's exquisite and fair facial features, gently kissing her.
"Mm!" Lin Nuan leaned against Fu Huai'an's chest, closing her eyes and nodding.
...
Lei Hongtao had already contacted Liu Mingchen and his parents and had analyzed the case with the father-and-son duo. He said that he would strive to get the lowest sentence, then get probation, which would be the best outcome possible.
Liu Mingchen's father was already very satisfied with such an outcome. In any case, it would be better than having Liu Mingchen locked up in prison directly!
Lei Hongtao had a solid reputation as a lawyer, so Liu Mingchen's father felt reassured with him taking charge of the case. Especially after hearing that Lei Hongtao had discussed the situation with Fu Huai'an before coming, making Liu Mingchen's father feel all the more reassured.
