Chapter 1038: This Must Be an Affinity Destined by the Heavens!
Cen Mo was overwhelmed with emotions upon hearing the word “home”. By saying this, Liang Mulan was telling Cen Mo… that she regarded Cen Mo as her child, and she was asking Cen Mo to treat the Lins’ home like his own home.
Liang Mulan didn’t wish to rake up the unhappy past. She sniffled and forced herself not to think about the hards.h.i.+p this child underwent in the past, saying with a smile, “I don’t know what you like to eat, but I had the kitchen toil over this for an entire day. In the end, since you and Nuan Nuan are siblings, I prepared dishes according to what Nuan Nuan usually likes to eat…”
“I heard Song Yao is pregnant, so I told the kitchen to prepare dishes that are suitable for a pregnant woman!” Liang Mulan then pulled Song Yao’s hand. “Song Yao, we’re considered old acquaintances. Back then, in school, you took good care of Nuan Nuan. I hadn’t expected us to suddenly become family. This must be an affinity destined by the heavens!”
Song Yao’s ears turned red. She nodded and greeted them…
“Stop letting the kids remain standing outside, come in and talk!” Lin Jingquan had things to ask Lin Nuan about.
Now that the Kaide Corporation news had blown up, Lin Jingquan was rather worried about Fu Huai’an…
Especially when Lin Nuan called home to say that Fu Huai’an wouldn’t be coming at noon, Lin Jingquan more or less broke into a cold sweat.
The Kaide Corporation’s president was arrested in the US—that wasn’t a good thing. It was still too early to tell if it would affect the Kaide Corporation’s operations in the US.
Knowing that Song Yao was pregnant, Liang Mulan constantly nodded, holding Song Yao’s arm and telling them to have a seat inside.
Lin Ran knew that Lin Nuan was pregnant, but Liang Mulan wasn’t aware yet. Seeing Liang Mulan walk inside while supporting Song Yao, Lin Ran walked to Lin Nuan’s side. Although she didn’t support Lin Nuan, she entered the house with her under the pretext of chatting with her, afraid that Lin Nuan might accidentally fall when she climbed the stairs.
It wasn’t that Lin Ran was being overly cautious. It was just in case!
After entering the house, Liang Mulan forgot all about Lin Chen, Lin Ran, and Lin Nuan, giving Cen Mo and Song Yao a.s.siduous and thoughtful attention, but mainly Cen Mo.
Perhaps because he was in a different state of mind from the last time he saw Liang Mulan, Cen Mo’s att.i.tude towards her was a lot more respectful this time. Whatever Liang Mulan asked Cen Mo, he would answer—very obedient of him!
The more Liang Mulan looked at Cen Mo, the more she liked him. The more she liked him, the more her heart ached for him. She scolded the Cens internally countless times, and she couldn’t wait to make it up to Cen Mo in motherly love on behalf of Ji Yun.
Saihand didn’t come along today. If Saihand saw the way his boss behaved, he surely wouldn’t be able to bear looking at it.
While Liang Mulan and Cen Mo were chatting, Lin Jingquan asked Lin Nuan what he had wanted to ask. “This time, the Kaide Corporation’s president, Mr. Lu, was probably arrested in the US because of the turbine. Did the US government give the Kaide Corporation an explanation?”
Lin Nuan had been worried about Lu Jinnan’s arrest too. While she was sitting there, her eyes had been staring at the grandfather clock in the living room, calculating when the press conference would commence later.
“They haven’t for the time being. The consulate has asked the US government, but I figure they’ll probably give the same reason they did when they arrested the Chinese company’s vice-president the last time in Canada. It’s groundless!” Lin Nuan said.
Lin Nuan had a lot of trust in Lu Jinnan. Even though Lu Jinnan had a past record of murder, Lu Jinnan was a person who knew what he was doing. If it truly were his intention to commit a crime, he absolutely wouldn’t leave any evidence that would lead to him.
At the side, Lin Chen nodded. Fu Huai’an was a man who had plenty of methods, so he wasn’t worried about him. He was just afraid that Lin Nuan would get anxious.
When they were having dinner, the Kaide Corporation had just decided on the timing for their press conference.
The television in the dining room was on. Lin Nuan held a pair of chopsticks, and although a mountain of food had been piled up in her little bowl, her gaze was fixed on Fu Huai’an on the television screen.
Fu Huai’an was answering a question posed by a US reporter. He was smartly dressed in a suit and standing behind the podium, his deep eyes gazing forward. He basically wasn’t reading a script, and not a hint of a smile could be seen on his well-defined, mature, and calm facial features, which were exuding a steady and intimidating aura.
The US reporter raised questions in English, and Fu Huai’an replied to him in British-accented English. Fu Huai’an, who had an intimidating presence to begin with, gave off even more pressure when he spoke in authentic British-accented English using that magnetic and deep voice of his. Fu Huai’an sounded calm yet fierce.
Fu Huai’an said, “It has been several hours since the president of the Kaide Corporation, Lu Jinnan, was arrested. The US government hasn’t given us a legitimate reason for his arrest, and here you are, asking me how the Kaide Corporation is planning to deal with it?”
Fu Huai’an casually glanced at his wrist.w.a.tch. It was clearly a relaxed and natural action, but he exuded a high-and-mighty and n.o.ble aura doing so. “The Kaide Corporation isn’t to be bullied by the US government either. In another hour’s time, if the US government still isn’t able to give us a legitimate reason and also refuses to let us bail out Lu Jinnan, the Kaide Corporation will sue the US government and also take some measures.”
The use of the word “measures” was subtle!
What measures? Fu Huai’an didn’t give the reporter a chance to ask. He asked another reporter for the next question.
Lu Jinnan was like Fu Huai’an’s brother. He couldn’t watch on while Lu Jinnan stayed in the US all by himself. When the press release ended, he took his phone from Little Lu and called Lin Nuan as he walked out, a huge group of secretaries and Kaide Corporation senior management following behind him.
Fu Huai’an apologized to Lin Nuan, saying that he had to make a trip to the US.
Lin Nuan knew very well what Fu Huai’an was going to the US for. She reminded Fu Huai’an to be careful and told him not to worry about her and Tuan Tuan. Cen Mo was staying at the Fu residence, and he would take care of them, so Fu Huai’an didn’t need to worry.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Huai’an said to Tang Zheng, who was walking on his right, “You’ve been the one following the project collaboration with the Jiahe Corporation. This matter should be given primary importance among priorities here, and nothing must go wrong!”
“Don’t worry, with me looking over things at home, nothing will go wrong!”
Before Fu Huai’an left, he appointed Tang Zheng as the acting president of the Kaide Corporation. In circ.u.mstances where Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan were both not around, Tang Zheng called the shots at the Kaide Corporation.
On the way to the US, Fu Huai’an didn’t stay idle, constantly keeping in touch with the government. With a stern face, he called the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, and while waiting for the other party to answer the phone, Fu Huai’an unb.u.t.toned his suit jacket with a deep gaze.
Fu Huai’an spoke calmly to the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, seeming as if he was just giving an objective a.n.a.lysis…
He said that previously, because of 5G custom tailoring standards, in order to beat their country’s companies to developing the system and chips, the US had detained a Chinese company’s vice-president. That matter had yet to be resolved even now.
This time, they had just succeeded in developing the turbine when the US government directly captured their Kaide Corporation’s president. This was the US venting their anger, and it was also the US slapping China in the face!
