Chapter 764
The next morning, Nan Chen had just woken up when Qiao Zhan informed him that Lu Zhan's assistant, Qiao
Yonglie, had visited and had something to say to him in person.
When Nan Chen stepped out, he saw the tall and muscular Qiao Yonglie standing in the yard. Well, he does look
similar to Qiao Zhan.
“Mr. Nan, Mr. Lu has asked me to inform you that Ms. Lu and her children have been saved and are currently
receiving psychological counseling. He also wishes to express his gratitude to you for supporting us all this while,”
Qiao Yonglie stated.
Nan Chen nodded to show that he understood.
Just then, Ning Ran rushed out. “Are they fine already?”
Qiao Yonglie did not answer her question as he had never seen her before.
At that, Qiao Zhan introduced, “This is Mr. Nan's wife.”
Qiao Yonglie nodded. “They are fine now.”
“They're not hurt, are they? How about the kids? Are they all right?”
“They're not hurt. They're just shocked by what happened. Mr. Lu is arranging for an expert to provide them with
psychological counseling. It's best to give them some peace for the time being,” Qiao Yonglie said.
“Then what about Ms. Lu...”
Ning Ran had wanted to continue probing, but Nan Chen glanced at her, signaling her to stop talking.
It's nice enough that they send someone here to let us know that they're safe already. You talking non-stop right
now isn't the most appropriate way of reacting. You're friends with Lu Jingyuan, but you aren't with Lu Zhan. He
might not like it since he probably thinks we're the ones who implicated his sister.
“All right, I got it. Let Ms. Lu know I'll meet her when she finishes settling her matters,” Ning Ran said sheepishly.
“Sure.”
After accomplishing his task of conveying the message, Qiao Yonglie took his leave.
“Why didn't you let me ask? I'm merely concerned about Lu Jingyuan.” Ning Ran glared at Nan Chen unhappily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Didn't he already make it clear? Lu Jingyuan has been saved and is currently receiving psychological counseling.”
It was absolutely fair for such young children to undergo psychological counseling after going through a huge
shock. Otherwise, it would leave adverse effects and affect them for their entire lives.
“I understand that, of course. It's just that—”
“Lu Jingyuan's brother, Lu Zhan, is taking the lead for this matter now. From his perspective, we're the ones who
dragged Lu Jingyuan into this mess. I'm afraid he's very upset about it. It's pointless that you ask so much.”
“Oh, by the way, what does Lu Zhan do for a living? How is he that capable that he can save Lu Jingyuan so
quickly?”
“He's a member of the special department. His assistant doesn't use titles when greeting him, but I think he holds a
high position. There's no way he can take the private jet of the special department if he doesn't,” Nan Chen
deduced.
“What special department?” Ning Ran's curiosity was piqued.
“You don't need to know about that. Curiosity kills the cat. Just focus on filming instead of showing too much interest
in Lu Jingyuan's brother,” Nan Chen spat.
It was not hard to tell that Nan Chen was unhappy whenever Ning Ran showed too much concern for other men.
“Fine, I'll stop asking. But how old is he? I wonder if he's good-looking.”
Deep inside, Ning Ran believed that Lu Jingyuan's brother should be nowhere inferior since Lu Jingyuan looked so
beautiful.
It was beyond her imagination that her words would piss Nan Chen off. “Didn't you say you won't ask anymore?
Why are you still asking whether he's good-looking or not? What do you want?”
Standing by the side, Qiao Zhan could not help but chuckle after listening to their conversation.
Nan Chen swept his piercing gaze toward Qiao Zhan, causing the latter to hold back his laughter immediately. “Uh,
I'll go and see if breakfast is ready. You guys can continue with your chat.”
Ning Ran figured that her question was a bit sensitive even though she did not give it too much thought earlier and
had merely asked that question casually.
“Oh, I asked the wrong question again. Why would I care about his looks? Let's go. Time for breakfast.” Ning Ran
giggled awkwardly.
“He's not bad-looking,” Nan Chen answered nonetheless.
Ning Ran smiled but dared not say anything more.
“Honestly, way above average,” Nan Chen added.
Ning Ran did not understand what Nan Chen was trying to imply and hence did not give any response.
In truth, Nan Chen did not mean anything more than what he said. He merely thought that it was ungentlemanly of
him to flare up when Ning Ran asked about Lu Zhan's matters.
He was also worried that Ning Ran would think he was insecure about himself, so he decided it was wiser to admit
that Lu Zhan was good-looking.
Besides, he was not lying. Lu Zhan was indeed a decent and nicely dressed, handsome man.
During breakfast, Erbao kept trying to find out about Lu Yunxue's situation.
Ning Ran tried to explain to Erbao that as much as Lu Yunxue and Lu Yunbing were already safe, she could not meet
them yet. However, the little girl could not wrap her head around why she could not visit her friends when they had
already escaped to safety.
Surprisingly, Nan Chen was rather patient this time around. “Listen, Yunxue and Yunbing would probably feel scared
after going through a dangerous situation, right? If you're Yunxue, will you be scared?”
“Yes!” Erbao answered without hesitation.
“Exactly! Yunxue is scared too. If she doesn't receive psychological counseling, she will constantly be in fear. It's
something that will haunt her for a long time. We can't allow that to happen to her, right?” Nan Chen cast Erbao a
solemn look.
Erbao tilted her head to the side and mulled it over for some time before she bobbed her head. “Yes.”
“That's why she needs a counselor to help her. That way, she won't live in fear and will be able to have fun with you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhen she recovers. Do you understand?”
Erbao seemed to have understood the situation. “So, the counselor is giving Yunxue classes?”
“Not classes, but psychological intervention.” Dabao tried to correct her.
Afraid that Erbao would not understand, Nan Chen nodded and explained, “It's almost like what you do in classes.
After going for those sessions, Yunxue will get well and recover from the shock. You can visit her when she's feeling
better.”
Erbao nodded. “Oh, I got it now. But when will she finish her classes?”
“Should be anytime soon. Perhaps tomorrow. You'll be able to visit her tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Erbao was finally satisfied.
The following night, Ning Ran had just finished filming and returned to the inn when Lu Jingyuan called her asking to
meet.
Ning Ran agreed to it readily and asked if they should bring the children along.
Lu Jingyuan expressed she wanted to meet Ning Ran alone. Of course, the latter acknowledged the choice.
Later, Ning Ran arrived at the bar according to their agreement. After waiting a few minutes, she spotted a police
car driving toward her before pulling up in front of the entrance. Inside, there was Lu Jingyuan and several other
people, who seemed to be protecting her safety.
In fact, Qiao Zhan had long arranged for his men to guard the venue, and thus it was safe at that point.
From her appearance, Lu Jingyuan was in good shape. It seemed that the tribulation she went through did not
affect her in any way.
Like how Ning Ran knew her to be, Lu Jingyuan had always been a calm yet tough lady.
Ning Ran gave her a hug. “I'm sorry for implicating you. I shouldn't have let you feed the goldfish in place of Erbao.
I shouldn't have let you go do those stuff...”
“Don't say that. What happened has already happened. There's no use in talking about that anymore. It isn't your
fault,” Lu Jingyuan gently comforted.
“But I feel so bad toward you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...”
“I'm fine. Really.” Lu Jingyuan smiled. “But if you're guilty, treat me to a glass of wine, then.”
