Chapter 218: Sorry, I can’t help you

"Isn't this nonsense? Do you even need to ask?"

"Of course we must. Not only must we investigate, but we must also find important clues before Gu Xixing does. We absolutely cannot let him go to my wife and ask for credit and reward. Who the hell does he think he is?"

"Okay, Mr. Xie, I'll do it right away."

"By the way, Mr. Xie, there's an invitation letter on the table for you."

"Whose invitation is this?"

"Lin family, it is said that Lin Chen is getting married."

Xie Nancheng was stunned again. Lin Chen? Getting married? So soon?

Lin Chen was not sick in the first place and was just pretending. This was no secret in the upper class circles.

Now that the limelight has passed, Lin Chen, the deadbeat, is finally returning to the public eye.

What’s interesting is that Lin Chen looked down on Guo Meixin at first, but now he needs the Guo family to help him turn the tide.

Xie Nancheng picked up the invitation letter, and found that both his and Tu Ran's names were written on it.

Of course I have to go to Lin Chen’s wedding.

Inside Dr. Sun's clinic

Old man Sun cursed and pushed out a man in a suit and tie.

"Doctor Sun, are you really not going to consider it?"

"Three million, that's enough for you to open a small Chinese medicine hospital, let alone a small clinic."

“I just don’t believe there’s anyone who doesn’t like money?”

"Get out of here, bah." Old man Sun got angry and started cursing.

"Doctor Sun, please don't be so unkind. This is my business card. You can call me when you think of something. Our boss trusts you very much."

"Get out of here now, or I'll call the police?"

After hearing what the old man said, the man had no choice but to leave in shame.

At this time, Tu Ran came out of the tea room holding a cup of warm water.

"Why are you so angry?"

"You all know that losing your temper can damage your liver." Tu Ran said as he handed over the cup of water.

The old man naturally took it, drank it in one gulp, and wiped his mouth casually.

"None of this is good stuff."

"I know some details about their boss."

"Although it is also a pharmaceutical company, it has been aggressively selling health supplements in recent years under the name of a pharmaceutical company."

"How many elderly people's wallets have been ripped off by that thing? Would I be complicit in this evil?"

"So they asked you to develop health products?" Tu Ran only heard about three million or something like that.

Old Man Sun shook his head. "No, that old man was after one of my prescriptions. This prescription is used to replenish kidney qi and yang for people with kidney disease. Because I developed it myself, they can't learn the essence of it. So they wanted to buy it out directly and then use my prescription to sell it as a health supplement for aphrodisiacs."

"Then why are you angry?" Tu Ran was puzzled.

"That's because they don't follow the original formula proportions at all. They just dilute it a certain number of times, cut corners, and then sell it at an exorbitant price."

"So that's how it is." Tu Ran sighed slightly.

"Decades ago, the cold medicine we prescribed was effective in just one packet."

"Later, these unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies, in order to make money, diluted one packet of raw materials into ten or twenty packets. So, if you used to be able to take one cold medicine, now you need three boxes."

"These bastards will all get their comeuppance."

Tu Ran suddenly thought of a joke and teased Old Man Sun, "Prescriptions in the past all said, 'May there be no disease in the world, so that the medicine on the shelf will not be covered by dust.' But now, prescriptions all say, 'With a purchase of 100 yuan, you get ten eggs for free.'"

"Hahahahahaha." After hearing this, Old Man Sun stroked his beard and laughed.

At this moment, Tu Ran's phone rang.

Tu Ran: Hello?

Ling Feier: Thank you, Madam. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am Ling Feier.

Tu Ran: Oh, Miss Ling, is there something wrong?

Ling Feier: I do have something urgent to tell you. Is it convenient now?

Tu Ran: Now...

She was just about to say it was inconvenient since she hadn't gotten off work yet.

Ling Fei'er: I have to shoot a movie tomorrow and will be leaving Hong Kong soon. Before I go, I have something unfinished in my mind and I really need us to meet to say hello. Madam Xie, please.

Actresses are born to act, and are best at creating characters and portraying tragic scenes.

Tu Ran was not a heartless person, so seeing her say that, he had no choice but to agree.

Finally, the two of them booked a place not far from the clinic, a small teahouse.

Ling Feier came in a nanny car, and the assistant generously booked the entire place and did not allow other guests to enter.

There were bodyguards guarding the entrance of the teahouse, for fear that the news would leak out, after all, he was a public figure.

Inside the private room on the second floor

Tu Ran looked at Ling Fei'er, "Miss Ling, I wonder what brings you here today?"

When Tu Ran asked this, Ling Feier's eyes immediately turned red.

Then she started crying. Tu Ran was a little confused and quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her.

"What happened?"

"Mrs. Xie, Mr. Feng wants to break up with me."

Tu Ran suddenly remembered the day when he, Mu Wanjun, Xie Nancheng and Feng Yao went to the bar.

She thought Feng Yao just said it casually to flirt with Mu Wanjun.

Who would have thought that this incident would continue until now?

Xie Nancheng did not mention this matter at all.

Of course, in the eyes of these upper-class wealthy people, women are just seasoning, not everything.

"Then...what can I do?"

Tu Ran thought, I have only met you a few times and we are not very familiar with each other. Why did you come to see me?

"Mrs. Xie, I hope you can help me and Feng Yao get back together."

"I'm Mr. Feng's longest-time girlfriend, and I've even met his family."

"We have a really good relationship and never quarrel."

"This time, he insisted on breaking up, and I don't know what to do?"

"Even if I call now, I won't answer."

"He didn't even reply to my WeChat messages, and I couldn't even see him." Ling Feier started crying again.

"Ms. Ling, this... I really don't know how to help you. As the saying goes, even a judge can hardly judge family affairs. Your relationship is your private life, and it's not good for outsiders to interfere."

"No, no, no, it's different. Mr. Feng's best friend is Mr. Xie."

"And Madam Xie, you are Mr. Xie's beloved."

"If you had said something for me, maybe the ending would have been different." Ling Feier pleaded pitifully.

If it were someone else, they might really be shaken, but Tu Ran has always been terrifyingly rational.

She looked at Ling Fei'er and asked, "If your relationship ends differently because of someone else's words, is it really necessary to maintain such a relationship?"

Ling Feier was stunned. She never expected that this woman had such strong logical thinking.

"And even if Xie Nancheng and I went to tell him, it wouldn't necessarily be of any use. There's no reason to like someone, and there's no reason to dislike someone either. Since ancient times, matters between men and women have been hard to explain. Those involved are often confused, while bystanders can see more clearly. However, bystanders can't make decisions for those involved. You still need to be responsible for your own major life events."

"Mrs. Xie, are you... unwilling to help me?"

"I really consider you a friend."

As she spoke, Ling Feier started crying again and took out an exquisite jewelry box from her bag.
