However, the news didn't reach trending. Previous trending topics about Ning Ran were also removed.

She suspected Nan Chen must've used his resources to contain the transmission of the news.

Two days ago, Nan Chen mentioned foreign shorting organizations are formulating an attack on Nanshi Corporation's overseas listed companies. Thus, he tried to get a third-party auditing firm to prove the company has no problems. Now, because of my matter, Nanshi Corporation is once again pushed toward a fierce storm. I can only imagine how angry Nan Chen is right now. In any case, I'm prepared to face him. No matter how much he lectures me later, I must put up with it and let him vent his anger without retaliating. Although, if he hits me, I don't think I'll be able to hold myself back. I hate men who hit women. Just as her train of thought ended there, Nan Chen returned.

Calmly, he spoke to the children first, asking them to sleep early before entering the study room.

After preparing a cup of coffee, Ning Ran followed him into the room and placed the cup on his table. Then, as terror swelled in her heart, she waited at the side for him to wrap up his phone call.

When the call ended, he picked up the cup and took a sip silently.

She expected him to shout at her, maybe even hit her, after returning.

In reality, Nan Chen did neither of those things. He merely appeared calm and a little worn out.

Ning Ran lowered her head like a child who did something wrong. “I know I've troubled you again.”

“The overseas media have been spreading the news, saying we're using charity to launder money and avoid paying taxes. While the logic of the news is flawed, lacking even the most basic knowledge of finance and the law, many people still believe it. After all, only a few can discern the lies from the truth, while most continue to believe and spread whatever they hear.” It was as though Nan Chen was simply narrating the events that had occurred, seemingly with no intention of blaming her.

Yet, when Ning Ran heard that, she felt even more awful.

After that, he said if I didn't want it, he'd help me take care of it and that I'd be satisfied with the result. I thought he was joking, so I didn't expect he would donate the money in my name, which caused this whole mess. I truly don't know how to express my apology. It's not my intention for this to happen. I feel very helpless, too.” Upon ending her sentence, Ning Ran peered at him with a pitiful look, hoping he would understand. I truly believed Ruan Anxi was joking back then. After all, he spent so much effort retrieving that money. It'd be hard for anyone to believe he'd give it up after obtaining
