Chapter 317 - Finally Standing Up (2/2)

Qin Haodong repeated the whole curing process and concluded, “Now you know why he had no girlfriend and created no gossip.”

Lin Momo was surprised by the news. It had never occurred to her that this world-renowned rich man would have that kind of secret sorrow.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Happiness is actually always around you. Your daily life may be what someone else is striving for. Now let’s go back and enjoy our lives!”

He patted heavily Lin Momo’s thigh while watching her charmingly.

“Stop it!” Lin Momo certainly knew what Qin Haodong was implying. Her blushing cheeks glowed like the sunset.

She soon realized something and sighed indignantly. “Poor Xiaoxiao. She waited for that jerk for more than five years. That man is such an ungrateful scumbag.”

“She’s poor, indeed, but we’re all grown-ups. No one else is to blame for the way she chose to live her life.”

“No one except Wang Dacheng. That jerk! Xiaoxiao has been so nice to him. Their family business took off because of the help of Xiaoxiao’s father. I still can’t believe he pursued me over her. I bet that guy’s head has been kicked by a donkey!”

Qin Haodong said, “Think about it, Momo. There were many more complicated factors that drove him to pursue you.”

“Complicated factors?”

Lin Momo was a very smart woman, or she wouldn’t have become the president of the group. She had been occupied this time only because she felt angry.

She thought calmly for a few minutes and then said, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I find it weird, too. Wang Dacheng had never shown any affection to me before. It was strange that he suddenly came here and tried to pursue me.

He knew very well that Xiaoxiao and I are BFFs. He shouldn’t have chosen me even if he wanted to use a woman as a target.”

Qin Haodong said, “That’s why I thought he was acting suspiciously.”

Lin Momo contemplated this and said, “Is this about the Blood Revival Elixir?”

“Very likely.” Then, he added, “As you’ve said, he wasn’t that into you before, but now he showed his affection for you in public. That’s unusual.

He chose to do it at a special time, when the Blood Revival Elixir had just entered the market. He did this to arise public attention. The fact that he just came back from M Country makes him even more suspicious.”

Lin Momo’s expression changed as she asked, “You mean that he had something to do with Wilson’s Company?”

“Maybe, but I’m not so sure. Many people see the Blood Revival Elixir as a chicken that can lay golden eggs. Many companies, including Wilson’s Company, have been watching us. This could be another opponent hiding in the dark.”

He thought about it. “Apparently, Wang Dacheng knows nothing about Chinese medicine, which means that he was never a fan. However, he came back hastily and established the Hall of Medical Fame. He is either going after our formula, or trying to share a piece of the pie of the Chinese medicine industry.”

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, it’s crossed my mind that Wang Dacheng does not trust in Chinese medicine at all. He had made quite a lot of speeches against Chinese medicine during student union activities. Now, he suddenly wants to invest in the industry? How weird is that?”

Qin Haodong said, “We’ll see. I don’t care what he is after. Regardless of whether this is his personal compassion or desire to get a finger in the pie of the Chinese medicine industry, I’ll welcome him warmly as long as he helps Chinese medicine develop. If he tries to poison the well, then I’ll show no mercy.”

His eyes turned grim when he said that. Chinese medicine was declining now. Therefore, he wouldn’t allow anyone to harm the industry.

In the Wang Villa, Wang Haiting and his son went back to their own rooms frustratedly after they returned home.

Wang Dacheng had been depressed after coming back from the club, but his face changed immediately when he closed the door of his room. His disappointment disappeared, and he looked like someone else.

He checked the door to see if it had been locked. Then, he took another phone out of the drawer and dialed a number.

When the call was connected, the person on the phone asked, “How’s it going?”

“Not so well. There’s been an accident!” Wang Dacheng said, “I pursued Lin Momo to cause conflict between her and Qin Haodong, but it didn’t seem to work.”

“Why? You should be charming enough to attract her. Qin Haodong will be mad if she’s affected.”

Wang Dacheng said, “This time was different. Lin Momo had no feelings for me. She actually hated me because of my relationship with my ex-girlfriend. Qin Haodong seemed pretty cool with it and sure about Lin Momo’s love. He didn’t look jealous at all.”

“It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if they turn on somebody or not.” The man then asked, “How’s the establishment of the Hall of Medical Fame going?”

“Just fine. I’ve established it, but now that Qin Haodong is the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, half of the famous doctors in the Celestial Land have refused to join us.”

“That annoying bug! He’s such a pain in the neck!”

Wang Dacheng agreed. “He’s a big trouble-maker. The cooperation between us and Midas Investment Corporation has changed because of him. Maldini Jr. refused to cooperate with me clearly, so we’ll have to find another way to solve the funding issue if you want to invest in the factory.”
