My Youth Began With Him Chapter 3769 - Sweet Burden 9

3769 Sweet Burden 9Qin Chu sighed lightly and tightened his arms around Huo Mian.

“The employee told me a story about an old couple in his village. The children of the old couple moved out of the village and hadn’t visited them for years. The old man made a living by collecting garbage and had to take care of his wife who had a mental disease. The old man got sick one day and couldn’t get out of bed; still he didn’t have money to pay for medication. After considering his options for days, he thought of a way to solve the problem. He set fire on himself and his wife, too, fearing no one would take care of her after he died…”
Hearing the story, Huo Mian almost cried; her heart ached in sorrow even though she didn’t know the old couple.
People in this world live such different lives. Some live in heaven and some in hell.
“How about their children?” Huo Mian asked with a sob.
“They hurried back and buried their parents when they got the news. Then they left again after selling the house and land.”
“They are animals,” Huo Mian clenched her fist and cursed in indignation.
With his arms around her, Qin Chu continued, “So, Mian, I’ve been thinking… If the drugs were less expensive and of better quality, there might be less tragedies like this one… 100 yuan for one box of common cold drug is cheap for us, but it’s too much for the people with low income.”
“Yeah. I am a doctor and I totally understand how people feel when they can’t afford their medical expenses.” Huo Mian didn’t lift her head.
“So, I plan to enter the pharmaceutical industry…”
“But, Honey, if we lower the price and improve the efficacy of the drugs, the other pharma companies will hate us.”
“There are greedy bastards in every industry. We do not interfere with their business, so if they are not happy with what we do, they can try and deal with me. Anyway, we’re used to dealing with enemies.” Qin Chu chuckled.
“Honey, I like it when you get overbearing and aggressive… I admire you.”
Huo Mian leaned into his arms and put her cheek against his.
Qin Chu never made decisions on a whim. Huo Mian knew he had made careful plans for this acquisition.
After the talk about the pharma company, Huo Mian remembered the crisis between Gao Ran and Zhu Lingling.
Briefly, she told the whole thing to Qin Chu.
Hearing her words, Qin Chu said in conviction, “I’m sure Gao Ran is clueless about it; he’s not interested in the girl.”
“I believe you. But obviously the woman is trying to seduce Gao Ran and even tried to create misunderstandings for Lingling and other people… She bought her clothes and shoes to match Gao Ran’s, making them look like a couple.”
“The young girl is indeed a schemer. I can talk to Old Gao and warn him about it.”
Qin Chu knew Gao Ran was a family man and loved his wife and son. If he told Gao Ran what was happening, the problem would be solved.
“Hey. Don’t… I’ll handle it.”
“Do you want to help your bestie get rid of the third wheel?” Qin Chu’s lips curved up as he looked at Huo Mian, who had an expectant expression on her face.
“Yeah. I have ways to deal with her… I’ll teach the young girl a lesson and show her how shameful it’s to be the other woman breaking up another person’s family.”
“Okay, okay. Our Dr. Huo is the best… Now, take a shower and go to bed.”
They were about to turn in when a loud bawl came from the other side of the door.
“Mommy… Daddy… Open the door.”
