Qin Mubai was discharged from the hospital more than a month later.
I heard that the old man from the Qin Family was furious and made him go through multiple departments and undergo all sorts of tests to make sure he was fine before he signed the discharge papers.
When Assistant Wang sent the message, Nan Qing simply replied with an emoji.
He did not send flowers to Qin Mubai, nor did he offer any words of comfort.
The best he could do was to avoid blacklisting Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai knows him very well; Qin Mubai is right.
He was indeed a soft-hearted person. Looking at Qin Mubai lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over his body, his increasingly thin face revealing sharp bones, he would easily wake up in the middle of the night, and his eyes would fill with tears when he thought of a moment when he was well taken care of.
Qin Mubai said, "Don't forgive him just because he seems pitiful."
He said that no matter how much suffering he endured, it could not make up for the pain he had felt in the past.
But perhaps human memories always heal themselves, and the images in his memory came one after another. He was being held by Qin Mubai's hand, playing with toy cars in Qin Mubai's arms, Qin Mubai bending down to wipe away the crumbs of cheese sticks for him with a handkerchief, and even carefully cleaning his fingers one by one when he got them dirty from coloring and eating candy... He couldn't be indifferent to certain treatment monitoring data sent from abroad.
He hated Qin Mubai for betraying him.
But he wanted Qin Mubai to live a good life even more.
Even if it's a debt of gratitude, it's fine.
I owe him 20 or 50 years, until I'm too old to enter my grave and leave this world like a drifting leaf.
My phone buzzed twice; it was a new message from Assistant Wang.
"Oh, right, Bai Ruanruan has been found."
"It happened in that abandoned garbage dump outside the city. He got beaten up for stealing someone's leftovers and was then taken to the police station."
"I told President Qin what you asked me to do. He always listens to you, and he'll be careful of Bai Ruanruan."
"But Bai Ruanruan probably can't cause any trouble now. You might not know, but the Bai Family has suppressed the news. Bai Ruanruan's retina is damaged, she can't see clearly, she's lost her tongue, and one of her legs is broken; the leg bone was crushed."
"He's half-blind and mute now, practically a cripple. When he came home, he scared his wife so much she got a fever, and the second young master was also quite frightened. Bai Ruanruan is currently locked up and under special care."
It seems that Assistant Wang's messages were interrupted; they haven't come in for a long time.
Nan Qing had just replied with an emoji when he heard Zhou Guangliang walking briskly towards him.
"It's a done deal! We've got the Asian role in Joaquín Guzmán's new movie! Filming starts next year, so we have plenty of time to prepare!"
Nan Qing's eyes lit up. "Really?"
Zhou Guangliang was even happier than him, "If it's fake, I'll twist my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
Nan Qing imagined the scene and gasped.
"Brother Zhou, this is cruel to the elderly!"
The assistant next to him, who was drinking water, almost spat it out. Zhou Guangliang laughed heartily, and the scene was filled with merriment.
My phone buzzed twice; Assistant Wang, who hadn't sent a message in a while, popped up with another one.
Don't worry about things at home.
A moment later, the other party added another sentence.
" President Qin be careful of Bai Ruanruan and will avoid meeting her for the time being."
-
The suspense film over there has finished filming.
The subject matter is excellent, the story is captivating, and industry insiders have high hopes for it, saying it has a chance to win awards.
Nan Qing had only a few days of free time when she received a message from Huading.
Bai Ruanruan's affair could not be kept secret in the end; a video of him going crazy was uploaded to the internet and attracted a lot of attention.
Huading Media has been removing trending topics and deleting posts, but people tend to have a rebellious streak; the more they don't want to be exposed, the more likely they are to be thoroughly investigated.
Someone posted a picture of Bai Ruanruan at a wine tasting event, showing her graceful figure and curving her body in an S-shape on the ground. Someone else posted a video of Bai Ruanruan making her assistant kneel on the ground to put on her socks and shoes. There was also a string of random numbers as evidence that Bai Ruanruan was very unfriendly to ordinary staff members and often rolled her eyes and cursed at them.
Bai Ruanruan's once-proud millions of followers instantly dwindled by half, and the comments section was filled with insults.
"Making someone kneel on the ground to put shoes on him for a salary of 3000? Even in slave society, it wouldn't be this outrageous!"
"I've said it before, Bai Ruanruan looks very flirtatious, but her blind fans still believe in her innocent and naive persona. What innocent and naive girl would have nothing better to do than stick to other men and openly engage in that kind of play in the street?"
"Even if Bai Ruanruan isn't perfect, she's still one of the few people in the industry who truly loves animals, okay? For that reason alone, no one has the right to criticize her. Some people shouldn't go too far; they believe everything they hear!"
"Maybe liking animals is just a persona. Why haven't we seen any more posts about Bai Ruanruan's dog?"
"No matter how bad he is, that's no excuse for others to hurt him, right? It's obvious that Bai Ruanruan was framed. He's a rich young master! It's unbearable to watch him be blind, mute, and lame. Who could be so vicious!"
"Where's Xi Juan? Didn't Xi Juan go against all the viewers to announce his love on Weibo? Why is he ignoring Bai Ruanruan now? Could it be that he abandoned her because she's disabled?"
"Damn it! It would have been better if we hadn't brought this up. Xi Juan's fans have been racking their brains for six years and still can't understand how he could have fallen for Bai Ruanruan!"
"Emmm... I'm just a casual observer, not a fan, and I don't follow celebrities. Xi Juan lives in the same neighborhood as me. I saw him feeding stray dogs a few days ago, and he seemed like a really nice person. He doesn't look like the same person at all in those pictures online."
Seemingly fearing skepticism, the other party posted a new message at the bottom of the building. The picture was of a landmark building in a certain community, located in a prime riverside location in S City, where land prices have skyrocketed. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the rolling river at a glance, offering an exceptionally wide view.
"/Picture, not for him, I really live here (picture taken secretly, will delete later, he's really super handsome!)"
The attached image is a leaked photo showing a tall, slender man wearing a white sweater bending down, his bright, almond-shaped eyes reflecting the morning light, his long, delicate fingers holding a sausage as he feeds a chubby stray dog.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, Xi Juan!!!!"
"Doesn't anyone notice something's off? Xi Juan's eyes are gentle even when he looks at a dog, but he hasn't smiled once when he's with Bai Ruanruan. In all these candid photos and videos taken from various angles, Xi Juan's expression looks rather strange."
"As a seasoned psychological counselor, I can attest that Xi Juan's micro-expressions in the previously circulated photos did appear somewhat odd. There was a discrepancy between his body language, the direction of his facial muscles, and his behavior; he looked very unnatural."
"Hilarious? Xi Juan's powder is even better than a dishwasher! Are you saying Xi Juan was bewitched by Bai Ruanruan? Is this some kind of mystical theory?"
The online debate was raging, Huading Entertainment was in a frenzy, like ants on a hot plate.
