“Okay, I understand.” Tang Beichan hung up the phone.
Lin Bei, sitting opposite him, asked, “What did Fu Yusen want?”
Tang Beichan pushed the soup towards her: “He asked me not to take down the missing person notice.”
Lin Bei paused with her chopsticks, then gave a cold laugh: “Even if he handed over the entire Fu Corporation, he wouldn’t hear from Jiang Nuan again.”
Tang Beichan had shared his investigation results with Lin Bei.
The feeling of alternating between hope and despair was unbearable for anyone.
Lin Bei stirred her soup with a spoon, no longer interested in eating.
She murmured to herself: “Are you sure your findings are accurate? Maybe Nuan Nuan just went missing…”
Tang Beichan listened but didn’t get angry.
The Tang family’s business was selling information, but when Lin Bei contradicted him, he felt it didn’t matter.
People always hold onto unrealistic expectations when faced with undesirable realities.
It was normal.
Meanwhile, Jiang Nuan looked at Zhao Xiangnan, asking blankly, “Is this all I need to do? Make desserts?”
Zhao Xiangnan smiled gently: “Of course not. You need to post your creations online and accept feedback, good or bad, you must learn to handle it.”
Jiang Nuan was taken aback, then a look of resistance appeared on her face.
Zhao Xiangnan patiently coaxed: “Wanwan, you don’t want to spend your life with this illness, do you? Xu Po Po is getting old; what if you have an episode at home, what will she do?”
Jiang Nuan’s eyes flashed with struggle, and she lowered her head: “I’m sorry, it’s my fault.”
Zhao Xiangnan patted her shoulder: “It’s okay, don’t think too much. Just give it a try, okay?”
Jiang Nuan couldn’t hear his words.
She seemed to be back at the night she went to pick up Fu Yusen, back in that private room.
The music flowed in the room, she stood at the doorway, those disdainful looks and mocking laughter pinning her in place.
Jiang Nuan suddenly covered her ears, but those discussions, those whispers, flooded in from all directions, unstoppable.
No one liked her, no one cared about her.
No one would save her.
Chapter 25
Jiang Nuan was eventually taken away by Xu Po Po. Zhao Xiangnan watched her retreating figure, feeling a bit helpless.
