Chapter 818: Lin Nuan Said She Was Unwilling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under Liu Mingchen’s detention center uniform was a dark gray high-collared sweater, making him appear elegant and causing him to give off a scholarly aura.
Upon seeing Lin Nuan, Liu Mingchen’s lips moved. His vision swept past the injured left arm that Lin Nuan concealed under her down jacket. He sat down and said, “Sorry to have asked you out when you’re injured…”
Lin Nuan shook her head and delved right into the topic. “Previously, I said that I have a friend whose father is also taking Abinoque. At Christmas, I heard her mention that her father had switched his medication, saying it was only a hundred or so yuan per bottle. At that time, when I heard that, I didn’t think about it too much. Was that medication created by you?”
Liu Mingchen nodded and said, “There’s a little change in the chemical composition, but its effects are better than Abinoque!”
Lin Nuan nodded. It was no wonder Liu Mingchen was arrested!
“Are you hoping that I’ll expose this matter?” Lin Nuan guessed Liu Mingchen’s intentions.
The last time Liu Mingchen sought her out, he wanted to go on her show to talk about Abinoque. Other than getting her to expose this matter this time around, Lin Nuan couldn’t think of another reason.
“Nuan Nuan, I hope… your husband Fu Huai’an can take on my case!” Liu Mingchen spoke.
Lin Nuan paused, for she hadn’t expected Liu Mingchen to suddenly mention Fu Huai’an.
Liu Mingchen’s father paused too. Fu Huai’an was a big lawyer who instilled fear back in the day, and he had an impeccable track record, never losing a case. Everyone said… regardless of the case, so long as Fu Huai’an took it on, it would be a guaranteed win!
If Fu Huai’an agreed to take on his case, Liu Mingchen would have hope!
Liu Mingchen stared at Lin Nuan with a scorching gaze. “I know my request may be abrupt. Based on your husband’s current status and ident.i.ty, he perhaps won’t take on any case! Nuan Nuan, it’s not that I really want your husband to help me take on this case. Even after switching to the business world for so many years, your husband still has a solid reputation in the legal world! All these years, he hasn’t taken on any cases. What I want is his name. I want to use it to spread this issue!”
Liu Mingchen had his own selfish motives for getting Fu Huai’an to take on his case. He hoped that the popularity of the matter would be so high that the relevant authorities would be forced to come out.
However, Lin Nuan also had her own selfish motives. There would be no problem with her helping Liu Mingchen, but she didn’t want to involve Fu Huai’an in these matters.
When Fu Huai’an was away on business, Lin Nuan had constantly been on the line with him, so she knew how busy he was!
Fu Huai’an didn’t have much time to sleep, and when he woke up, he couldn’t even properly eat his breakfast before…
Seeing Lin Nuan remain silent with her lips pursed, Liu Mingchen nervously clasped his hands together and said, “Nuan Nuan, I hope that you can do me this favor!”
Lin Nuan didn’t feel embarra.s.sed as she raised her head and gazed at Liu Mingchen with her pretty and clean eyes, smoothly saying, “I know that what you’re doing is for the good of the patients, so whatever you ask of me, if it’s within my capabilities, I’ll agree to help. But if it involves Huai’an, I can’t agree!”
Liu Mingchen’s lips parted slightly…
“Although we are a married couple, I can’t agree on Huai’an’s behalf regarding such matters. Furthermore… as the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, Huai’an doesn’t only represent himself. Once Huai’an stands out to help you fight this case, others might a.s.sociate your behavior with the Kaide Corporation. After all, the Kaide Corporation has subsidiary pharmaceutical companies! I don’t know very much about business, but I do know it has wide implications!”
Liu Mingchen’s father’s heart sank. He was also a businessman, and he had to admit that what Lin Nuan said made sense.
“And also, as Huai’an’s wife, I’m the one who can most clearly see how hard he works. Huai’an is so busy that he barely gets four hours of sleep at times, and even while eating, all sorts of decisions are awaiting him! He’s too busy! Henceforth, I don’t wish to see him take on this case!”
Lin Nuan’s logic was clear, and she spoke in neither a haughty nor humble tone, so one was able to heed her words.
“One last thing. Ever since Huai’an entered the business world, he hasn’t touched any law cases. I feel that he probably has his own reasons for doing so. I don’t want to see him act against his will and accede to my request because I asked him!”
The color of blood gradually faded from Liu Mingchen’s face. His brows furrowed as he stared at Lin Nuan. “But Nuan Nuan… I’m not doing this for personal gain or to implicate your husband…”
Lin Nuan nodded. “Yes, I know. That’s why I came. I’m willing to put in my utmost effort to help you. I won’t object to you raising this request to Huai’an yourself, but I’m unwilling to speak on your behalf, unwilling for Huai’an to act against his will for my sake!”
Lin Nuan looked at a disappointed looking Liu Mingchen with her clean and clear eyes. “I’m not you, Brother Mingchen… I don’t have n.o.ble aspirations like you. When something happens, my priority is to consider my and my husband’s losses and gains!”
Liu Mingchen wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by his father. “Nuan Nuan, the Liu family is already very grateful that you were willing to show up! You’re right… your husband’s status is different. What he represents is the Kaide Corporation. I’m also a businessman, so I understand the implications! I also understand your husband’s reasons for not being able to take on this case!”
Lin Nuan nodded, then looked at Liu Mingchen. “If there’s something that I can do in a personal capacity, I’m willing to try!”
After keeping quiet for a long time, Liu Mingchen shook his head!
Liu Mingchen had thought that Lin Nuan would accede to his request, because he was doing the right thing, and since it was right, he should be able to obtain the support of more people.
What Liu Mingchen had wanted Lin Nuan to do, Lin Nuan said she was unwilling to do. So for the time being… Liu Mingchen didn’t know what else Lin Nuan could do.
“The attention on the issue that you want… I think… I can help you too!” Lin Nuan said to Liu Mingchen.
Liu Mingchen looked at Lin Nuan as he said, “Thank you!”
As Lin Nuan walked out of the detention center with Liu Mingchen’s father, he said to Lin Nuan, “Mingchen is an idealist. I apologize on his behalf for requesting your husband to take on his case! As the youngest n.o.bel Prize winner in the country, he has always felt that the more famous he is, the greater his responsibility. He always wants to take on responsibilities that he’s unable to shoulder!”
Lin Nuan walked out with Liu Mingchen’s father side by side, listening to him as he talked.
“But I don’t want Mingchen to be at the forefront of things. Regardless of whether it’s the medical revolution he wishes to start or some battle in the pricing of medication, I don’t want him to be the pioneer!” Liu Mingchen’s father stopped in his tracks and turned sideways to look at Lin Nuan. “So… Nuan Nuan, actually, it’s my selfish intention not to blow this matter up. I hope to be able to resolve this matter with money through connections, peacefully getting him out of this trouble. I want to allow him to return to the laboratory and focus on his research, not getting himself involved in other matters!”
As a father, Liu Mingchen’s father wasn’t in the wrong for thinking that way!
