Chapter 233: I’ll take the responsibility!

Chapter 233: Chapter 233: I’ll take the responsibility!

Chen Xuan suppressed the fury in his heart, "Spit it out, what’s the real reason you tricked me into coming here?"

Ding Lijuan wore a look of arrogance, "Chen Xuan, if it wasn’t for our family paying for your mother’s surgery back then, she would probably be dead by now, wouldn’t she?"

"Also, my daughter Jingting was such a catch, with countless suitors back then, yet she ended up with a loser like you, losing her purity and even bore your daughter. You remember all this, don’t you?"

"Do you think you owe our family?"

Chen Xuan was speechless, "What are you trying to say?"

Ding Lijuan said, "Jingting’s company is in trouble, do you know that?"

"You’ve been indebted to our family for so many years, and now there’s a chance to repay us. Don’t you think you should seize it?"

Chen Xuan looked at Ding Lijuan meaningfully, "Just say it, what do you want me to do?"

Ding Lijuan smirked, "Simple, take the blame for Jingting’s company producing counterfeit drugs, and then all the years of debt you owe us will be wiped clean!"

"Mom, you..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Han Jingting tried to say something but was abruptly interrupted by Ding Lijuan’s overbearing manner.

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Take responsibility for Jingting? I think you really want me to take the fall for Ding Liang, don’t you?"

In fact, Chen Xuan had just had Xue Qin investigate the matter with Han Corporation.

Chen Xuan knew very well that Jingting wasn’t the kind of person who would produce counterfeit drugs, and seeing how anxious Ding Lijuan looked, there was only one possibility.

Clearly, the counterfeit drug issue was Ding Liang’s doing!

Ding Lijuan was taken aback, not expecting Chen Xuan to guess the truth so quickly.

Ding Lijuan firmly declared, "So what if it’s taking the fall for Ding Liang! Let me tell you, if you don’t take the fall for Ding Liang, then Jingting will have to bear the responsibility this time!"

"You keep saying how much you love Jingting, so are you really going to just watch her go to jail?"

Chen Xuan laughed helplessly, "I might as well, but Jingting is your biological daughter, and you’re willing to let her go to jail for an outsider? Your favoritism is rather heartless, isn’t it?"

Ding Lijuan was furious, "In my eyes, you are the outsider!"

"Cut the crap, are you willing to take on this responsibility or not!"

Ding Liang and Guo Yueling both looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation.

Honestly, they also felt uncertain, because taking on this responsibility could mean going to prison.

Could Chen Xuan really be so spineless?

However, the next moment, they heard Chen Xuan say directly, "Fine, I’ll take on this responsibility!"

As soon as this statement was made, Ding Liang, Ding Lijuan, and the others all showed expressions of surprise and joy.

But Han Jingting was utterly shocked, "Chen Xuan, have you lost your mind? Do you realize what taking on this responsibility means? You’re going to prison!"

"Of course, he’s the one going to prison, not Xiao Liang, should he?" Ding Lijuan yelled.

"Chen Xuan, by agreeing to repay the debt you owe us all these years, you’re proving yourself to be a real man! Our family really owes you one this time!" Ding Lijuan laughed.

A smug smile crept onto Ding Liang’s lips as he walked up to Chen Xuan, patting his shoulder.

"Ex-brother-in-law, it looks like you’ll be taking the heat for me this time! Ha ha..."

But before Ding Liang could finish laughing,

Bang!

Chen Xuan punched Ding Liang in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain, kneeling on the ground.

"Take the fall for you? Do you think you’re worthy?"

"I just don’t want to owe your family anymore!"

Chen Xuan looked toward Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen, "I’ll take this responsibility, but from today onward, my mother and I don’t owe your family anything!"

Having said that, Chen Xuan left without looking back!

Ding Lijuan and the others were stunned.

This was the first time they had seen such a fierce side of Chen Xuan—it was truly frightening!

"Xiao Liang, are you okay?"

"That bastard Chen Xuan dared to hit you; he really deserves to go to jail!"

Ding Lijuan cursed loudly.

Han Jingting didn’t know what to say anymore.

Let alone Chen Xuan, even she, as a daughter, had started to disapprove of her mother’s actions!

Ding Lijuan could ignore everything and let Chen Xuan go to jail, but Han Jingting couldn’t do that.

Setting aside her sense of justice, Chen Xuan was, after all, Xiao Yu’s father; how could Han Jingting stand by and watch Xiao Yu be deprived of seeing her own father!

After returning to her bedroom, Han Jingting immediately called Meng Junchen.

The counterfeit drug incident was a joint effort between the Administration for Industry and Commerce and the medical associations, with the former taking the lead.

Last time, when Han Corporation’s goods were seized, it was because Meng Junchen had his father speak to Shen Zhizhuan from the Administration for Industry and Commerce that the issue was quickly resolved.

Han Jingting thought, if Shen Zhizhuan could solve the counterfeit drug issue this time, then nobody would need to take responsibility.

Then Chen Xuan wouldn’t need to go to jail.

The phone was quickly answered, and Meng Junchen’s joyful voice came through—this seemed to be the first time Han Jingting had called him first.

"Jingting, do you need something?"

"Meng Junchen, there’s an issue at my company; have you heard about it?"

"An issue? What happened?"

Han Jingting then explained about the counterfeit drugs at the company, but she was careful not to mention that the matter was related to Ding Liang and didn’t say that Chen Xuan was taking the blame for her.

Because Han Jingting was very aware of Meng Junchen’s attitude toward Chen Xuan; if he knew that Chen Xuan was taking the blame for her, he probably wouldn’t lend a hand.

After listening to Han Jingting, Meng Junchen was quite surprised, "Counterfeit drugs? That’s no small issue!"

Han Jingting, "That’s why I’m seeking your help now."

"Isn’t your dad close to Shen Zhizhuan from the Administration for Industry and Commerce? Last time, when my goods were detained, it was your dad who asked Shen Zhizhuan for a favor."

Meng Junchen sounded less confident, "That’s true..."

Han Jingting, "So, could you please ask your dad to talk to Shen Zhizhuan about this again? After all, this whole issue is solely Daler Company’s responsibility, and we are just victims!"

Meng Junchen certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity to grow closer to Han Jingting.

"Ah? This... of course."

"Don’t worry, leave this matter to me. I’ll have my dad call Shen Zhizhuan and plead for mercy. Shen Zhizhuan will definitely give my dad face!"

Han Jingting was elated, "Really? Then I’ll thank you in advance!"

Meng Junchen took the opportunity to propose a condition, "Um, Jingting, are you free tonight, how about we have dinner together?"

Han Jingting declined politely, "How about next time? I’m so overwhelmed with the company’s affairs right now that I have no mood for dinner. Once this issue is resolved, I’ll treat you to a meal, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, a hint of smugness crossed Meng Junchen’s face.

Meng Junchen was still in the dark about what had happened last time, but he guessed that someone must have approached Shen Zhizhuan to resolve the problem, which allowed him to benefit indirectly.

Meng Junchen felt that he might just get lucky once again.

Now that Han Jingting and Chen Xuan were divorced, the resolution of this issue would be the day he won the beauty!
