novelThose Who Hustle About for Their Own Profits Look So Laughable!
| ← Ch.0847 | Ch.0849 → |
[Invincible Woman: When I heard that special forces uncle talked about how, during the Iraq evacuation, the youngest special forces soldier who sacrificed was only 19 years old, my heart broke! Nineteen—that's even younger than me... It should be the age when one shines most brightly!]
[The adorable one in my home: Special armed forces, that's using the sacrifice of the least number of people possible to achieve the greatest victory. They are undeniable heroes! Regardless of whether it's the narcotics police or soldiers, they're incredibly noble, especially those who went on undercover missions or went overseas alone to accomplish their tasks! By comparison... in our peaceful world, those who hustle about for their own profits look so laughable!]
Upon reading that more and more people were expressing their wishes to become special forces soldiers and protect their homeland like Wang Mang and his comrades, Xing Feng's eyes turned watery!
But Xing Feng was a soldier, a tough man who preferred to bleed than to cry, so he forced himself to swallow those tears back down.
After the show ended, Wang Mang removed his mask and thanked Lin Nuan."Thank you!"
Lin Nuan couldn't figure out why Wang Mang was thanking her."What?"
"Thank you for allowing Sir Fu to send Qin Zhe to Dubai in the end..." Wang Mang's heart was overwhelmed with a sour feeling. If he had known of Qin Zhe's plans, even if it meant he had to drag his prosthetic leg along with him, he would have gone to Dubai with Qin Zhe to avenge Feng Yang.
Lin Nuan paused for a moment, then shook her head at Wang Mang."In the end, I still didn't agree to Huai'an doing this. I was thinking of ways to stop him, but Huai'an was too determined to go, so I was unable to stop him!"
Wang Mang hadn't expected Lin Nuan to be so frank, so he was a little surprised.
"Huai'an and I even went to your Wang Mang Restaurant!" Lin Nuan smiled at Wang Mang, changing the topic."You were busy in the kitchen..."
Wang Mang looked surprised."Sir Fu... went too?"
Lin Nuan nodded.
After remaining silent for a long while, Wang Mang said to Lin Nuan, "The next time you come, I'll close my business for the day and cook a few good dishes for Sir Fu!"
"Okay! I'll pass Huai'an the message..." Lin Nuan smiled at Wang Mang.
Xing Feng came over with Wang Mang's jacket and nodded at Lin Nuan before handing Wang Mang his coat. He then said to Lin Nuan, "The show was a great success. You might not have had the time to see the comments yet, but many people are aspiring to become soldiers after watching your show!"
The dimples at the corners of Lin Nuan's lips looked especially sweet."Back then, thank you for saving me in Iraq. This thanks... I've owed you guys!"
"Yes! It came late, indeed!" Xing Feng joked with Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan laughed, then seemed to recall something, so she drew out something from the document file she was holding and handed it to Xing Feng."Next week's direct broadcast is still fixed on Saturday. We've already invited the previous commander-in-chief of the construction of aircraft carriers, General Tan Hongjun. In the episode after next... I want to talk about this deceased guy called Rock. I heard that Rock was in Iraq then and that I saw him before too. Later, when he was collecting intel on a mission, he seemed to have assisted the police in cracking a major drug case, but in the end, he ended up becoming addicted to drugs himself..."
Lin Nuan couldn't bear to say out loud what happened after...
The information she was holding indicated that the guy named Rock had jumped down from a building because he had mentally broken down from being tormented by the drugs!
Lin Nuan heard that before Rock ended his life, he had never dated before and was an exceptional youth with a bright future ahead!
Xing Feng lowered his head and glanced at the information. Rock's sunny and vibrant smiling face appeared in his mind. He clenched his teeth and nodded."I've given Miss Xia the information. I believe in both you and her, so you guys can make the decisions for this show..."
"This implicates the guest..." Lin Nuan gazed at Xing Feng."Rock is no longer around, so I don't know whom to invite as the guest. Previously, Miss Xia suggested inviting Rock's parents, but I feel that it's not very safe. With Rock no longer around, I'm afraid things would get troublesome once those people found Rock's parents!"
Xing Feng nodded, what Lin Nuan said made sense. He said, "Let me do it!"
Lin Nuan hadn't thought of inviting Xing Feng. She thought about it...
Lin Nuan's vision swept over the mask Wang Mang was holding in his hands."Then don't reveal your face, like Wang Mang! This is in consideration of you and your family's safety!"
Although Xing Feng had already been promoted and was no longer taking part in those perilous missions, he had, after all, taken part in many of those dangerous missions. To err on the side of caution, Lin Nuan didn't wish to put Xing Feng in a dangerous position.
Considering his newly born son, Xing Feng nodded."Okay..."
After confirming things for the third episode, Lin Nuan called Fu Huai'an and asked him if he was done for the day.
It was Lin Jingquan's birthday. Lin Chen was unable to return to Haicheng for the time being, and Lin Ran was worried about leaving Lin Chen alone in the hospital, so Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan would be the only ones going to the Lin house to celebrate Lin Jingquan's birthday with him. Lin Nuan didn't ask if Gu Shaoting would be going.
"I have another conference meeting later. You can go over first, and I'll rush there later..." Fu Huai'an then reminded Lin Nuan, "I'll get Little Lu to go over and wait at the entrance of the Lin house with my birthday present for Dad first!"
Lin Nuan's heart warmed up. She hadn't expected Fu Huai'an to have prepared a gift for Lin Jingquan.
"I've already prepared a present for Dad. You're so busy, yet you're going through the trouble with this..." There was a smile in Lin Nuan's delicate and soft voice.
She felt that everything would get better. With Lin Chen in recovery, there was now hope for Liu Mingchen's lawsuit. Also, now that her period was over, very soon, the fruit of love between her and Fu Huai'an would arrive.
"How is it trouble for me to please my father-in-law?" There was also a smile in Fu Huai'an's voice."No matter how busy I am, I need to prepare a present for him!"
Lin Nuan entered the dressing room. Seeing that Mu Taotao was prepared to help her remove her makeup, she didn't say much else to Fu Huai'an, quickly hanging up the phone.
After removing her makeup and changing her clothes, Lin Nuan glanced at her watch and then went to the cake shop with You Nainai to collect the cake. On the way, she called Lin Ran to ask about Lin Chen, and she also reminded Lin Ran and Lin Chen to call Lin Jingquan.
"The present I prepared for Dad is in the bedside cabinet in my room. Remember to help me give it to Dad!" Lin Ran reminded Lin Nuan.
"Okay, rest assured, I will!"
On the way to the Lin house, Lin Nuan and You Nainai saw Little Lu waiting for them on the path that they were bound to take as they drove to the Lins. He placed the present for Lin Jingquan into the trunk of the car.
"Thank you for the hard work, Little Lu!" Lin Nuan smiled at Little Lu.
Little Lu dismissed it with a wave."Don't mention it, it's part of my job! If there's nothing else, I'll go back first, lest Sir needs me around and can't find me!"
Lin Nuan nodded."Mm, be careful on the road!"
...
Liang Mulan had asked someone to fetch Ji Yun early on, to get her to join in on the fun.
Originally, it was supposed to be a happy affair this year, since Lin Ran became more open-minded and agreed to ask Lin Nuan and her husband back to celebrate Lin Jingquan's birthday!
