Chapter 124: Failed Wrist Cutting
Nan Chenliang's condition has been getting worse recently, and he just now had the urge to cut his wrists again. In desperation, Yan Runan could only let Li Guanlan watch him for a while while she went to find Nan Jinming.
Nan Jinming is organizing all the resources in her hands. Over the years, she has secretly cultivated some forces of her own. Even if she cannot get out of the deadlock, she can still protect the people around her.
"Master, Master Chenliang just took a dagger and wanted to cut his wrists, but luckily I stopped him in time."
Nan Jinming reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache.
There have been too many things going on recently, which have been weighing on me, and I don’t have much time to be with Chu Xiaoran at night.
She had never been to Nan Chenliang's place. She knew how Nan Chenliang felt about her, but how to face it was a difficult problem.
"It's good as long as you stop it."
Nan Jinming responded indifferently.
"But this is not a long-term solution after all. If I leave for even a little while, he'll be in trouble."
This was also the first time that Yan Runan encountered such a difficult situation.
But as a man, he could also understand Nan Chenliang's thoughts. He had lost his virginity, and the woman he loved didn't like him. There was really no point in living in this world.
"But he will have to face it eventually. How can I help?"
There was indeed something inappropriate about what Nan Jinming said, but the facts were before him and there was no way to change them.
Yan Runan pursed her lips tightly, as if she was thinking about something. It seemed to be true. If she did not truly face the reality, she would always live in illusion.
Nan Chenliang wanted to die, but he couldn't. He could only live in this world with Nan Jinming's insistence.
Yan Runan didn't expect that she would say such cruel words. She was used to seeing Nan Jinming's gentleness towards Chu Xiaoran on weekdays, but she forgot that ordinary people don't care about those they don't care about.
"Mr. Chenliang's mental state hasn't been very good recently. I'm afraid he might even want to die."
"So what did I arrange for you to do?"
Nan Jinming changed the subject and put all the questions on Yan Runan.
Yan Runan felt the pressure from the man in front of him, and felt a little flustered.
He was usually calm and collected, and he really hadn't thought about this aspect.
Nan Jinming's eyes fell on the envelope and some account books on the table. These were things that had not been dealt with recently. She really had no intention of tidying up the house.
Nan Jinming has known Nan Chenliang for several years. The man who used to smile cheerfully in front of her has now become lifeless, and she feels sad.
Yan Runan was speechless and could only stand aside in silence. He couldn't answer Nan Jinming's question. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he just said nothing.
"I know you've been working hard these days. I was just being quick-witted. It's just that there have been too many things going on lately, and they're too complicated. I really can't take care of Chen Liang."
Nan Jinming took an account book and flipped through a few pages. Various expenses and incomes were densely written on it. This was a tavern she had taken over, which was in the capital. The reason why it was delivered to her was because the tavern was facing bankruptcy.
"Is this business more important, or are the people around you more important?"
Yan Runan knew that she had no right to question her here, but looking at Nan Chenliang's pitiful appearance, she felt a little bit reluctant.
"You have to know that material things are the prerequisite. If I can't give Xiaoran a good life, then I shouldn't marry him at all."
"The young master won't care about these."
"I care."
Nan Jinming smiled bitterly. After losing her identity as Murong Beitang, she could only find ways to make money on her own. When she was in the village, it seemed that she didn't need to care so much, but when the time came to spend the money, she would regret not having enough.
Yan Runan seemed unable to tell whether the person in front of him was really Nan Jinming.
He was so heroic when he saved the three brothers, how come he has become the person who values money so much?
"What should we do with Master Chenliang?"
"I remember that Li Guanlan is developing a drug that can cause amnesia recently. Why not let her try it first?"
Nan Jinming came to the window and took a white pigeon. A bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's feet. When he opened the bamboo tube, a small roll of paper was found inside.
Nan Jinming took it out and then released the white dove.
She has raised this pigeon for a long time. Normally, it would just smell her scent. If it is not in the study, it will circle in the air until it finds Nan Jinming.
"Is there really such a medicine?"
Li Guanlan said that these medicines are toxic and the side effects are unknown. Nan Jinming actually wants to give Nan Chenliang this kind of medicine?
"Go and ask."
Nan Jinming did not feel too much guilt towards Nan Chenliang. After all, she was not the real Nan Chenliang.
Nan Jinming might be attracted to his childhood sweetheart, but Murong Beitang only has a yearning for freedom in her heart. At the same time, she also cherishes her life very much.
She wanted to fight against the injustice of God, wanted to change her own destiny, wanted to live longer, and spend more time with Chu Xiaoran. This was her lifelong wish, and there was nothing else.
Helplessly, Yan Runan could only do as Nan Jinming said. After all, his current master was Nan Jinming, and he had to obey what the master said.
