Chapter 1154: Brother, Why Are You Here?
Gu Qingcheng was worried about Yun Liuli, and Yun Liuli was naturally worried about Gu Qingcheng too…
Gu Qingcheng became this powerful because he never had any intention of retiring from that position, such that his ruthless style of doing things made others not dare to trifle with him!
However, if others learned that Gu Qingcheng had the intention to retire, those people who bore a grudge against him and wanted to kill him… would probably be ready to pounce on him once he retired!
Lin Nuan smiled at Yun Liuli, not planning to continue discussing this topic. She said, “Yuan Yuan is asleep, so I’ll take the child upstairs first. You and Nainai can sit downstairs and think about what you want to eat for lunch!”
Yun Liuli nodded absentmindedly.
Lin Nuan placed Yuan Yuan into the cradle. Tuan Tuan and Little Candy had their arms resting on the cradle. Little Candy said in a soft voice to Lin Nuan, “Tuan Tuan’s Mama… don’t worry and let us take care of Yuan Yuan!”
Seeing his sister furrowing her brows, Tuan Tuan raised a chubby finger and made a “shh” motion, then whispered to Lin Nuan even more softly, “Tuan Tuan protects Yuan Yuan!”
Lin Nuan stroked the two kids’ heads with a smile, then closed the door and went downstairs. Unexpectedly, she b.u.mped into Cen Mo, who was just going up the stairs.
“Brother, why are you here?” Lin Nuan looked surprised.
Cen Mo casually slipped his car keys into his trouser pocket and sized Lin Nuan up with one hand in his pocket before asking her with a frown, “Were you startled by the incident at the amus.e.m.e.nt park today?”
There was little wonder Cen Mo knew about this. Videos of Lu Qili trying to hack Lin Nuan with a knife were all over the internet now.
This was because Fu Huai’an didn’t deliberately try to suppress the matter. Also, Fang Yan felt that the video wasn’t damaging to Lin Nuan in any way and could raise her profile in the public eye instead. Hence, they just let it be.
Lin Nuan shook her head. “I’m okay!”
Lu Qili was kicked away by Lu Jinnan before she managed to get near Lin Nuan. It was just that when Lu Jinnan pulled Lin Nuan away, Lin Nuan nearly dropped Yuan Yuan, which caused Lin Nuan lingering fears.
“Are the two kids alright?” Cen Mo asked again.
“They’re okay. Yuan Yuan is still young, so she didn’t know what was going on. Perhaps because the little chatterbox Little Candy was by his side and found it exciting, Tuan Tuan wasn’t startled either!”
Cen Mo then nodded. “Song Yao is here too. She’s downstairs! I’m going to Fu Huai’an’s study first…”
“Brother, this matter… you can’t blame it on Huai’an!” Lin Nuan was worried that Cen Mo was there to seek trouble with Fu Huai’an, so she pulled Cen Mo back by the arm.
Cen Mo patted the fair hand Lin Nuan placed on his arm and said, “I know, I’m not so unreasonable. I couldn’t reach you on your phone, so I came over with Song Yao to take a look. On the way here, Fu Huai’an called me and said he needed my help with something. Since I was coming here… I said that we’d talk when we met!”
Ask Cen Mo for help? Help with Gu Qingcheng’s matter?
Lin Nuan nodded and then released Cen Mo. She couldn’t help asking, “Did Huai’an tell you what matter it’s regarding?”
“He told me roughly…” Cen Mo could tell that Lin Nuan was worried. “Don’t worry! If I can be of help, I’ll certainly help!”
After thanking Cen Mo, Lin Nuan went downstairs…
Song Yao was listening to Yun Liuli’s recount of the incident at the amus.e.m.e.nt park with a frown. Seeing Lin Nuan come downstairs, she said, “This woman is too vicious, having murdered her entire family!”
Lin Nuan had seen the way the stepfather of Lu Qili tugged at her…
Since Lu Qili’s stepfather could say something along the lines of selling Lu Qili to a brothel, it was obvious he wasn’t a good person!
Also, regarding the mother of Lu Qili, Lin Nuan had heard Lu Jinnan mention that Lu Qili’s mother had threatened to jump off the Kaide Corporation’s building to threaten Fu Huai’an into seeing Lu Qili. She had hoped that Lu Qili could cling to Fu Huai’an and transform into her money-spinner!
Later, when she found out that Fu Huai’an wasn’t even fond of Lu Qili, Lu Qili’s mother had discarded her face and demanded compensation since Fu Huai’an had slept with her daughter for so many years.
Lin Nuan said, “Lu Qili didn’t do this without reason!”
In short, those who were pitiful must have a cause for sinking to their lows.
Song Yao made Lin Nuan sit on the sofa and said in a hushed voice, “Xiao Liuli said that this misfortune might have come to Lu Jinnan as a blessing in disguise?”
“I feel it’s hard to say…” Lin Nuan had this nagging feeling that Bai Xiaonian was hiding something from her, but this secret should be the reason Bai Xiaonian wasn’t willing to accept Lu Jinnan.
“What do you want for lunch? I’ll go make arrangements…” Lin Nuan changed the topic.
…
In the study, Cen Mo lit a cigarette with a frown.
Cen Mo was actually tempted by what Fu Huai’an said…
Since he got married to Song Yao and their child was born, Cen Mo did want to lead a peaceful life.
In the past, Cen Mo could never understand why those boss figures at the peak of their power wound want to retire. Only after he married and had a kid did Cen Mo understand!
But…
How many people among them could come to a good end?
Even Fu Huai’an, who was leading a peaceful life now, was only barely able to live like this because he had never exposed his ident.i.ty. Plus, now, he had Gu Qingcheng standing in front of him.
After considering it for a long while, Cen Mo pulled the ashtray to himself and said as he tipped the cigarette ash in, “How about this… If you have faith in me, I’ll take over all of Mr. Moral’s name!”
Fu Huai’an gazed at Cen Mo with his deep eyes as he leaned against the desk.
Fu Huai’an had asked Cen Mo over today to propose the staging of a fight between Gu Qingcheng and Cen Mo, and the two of them could fake their deaths as a result.
Cen Mo let out a long exhale. “What you said is right. The men working under me are dangerous ruffians. I wasn’t the one who built what I have in Morocco in the first place. To break free of those people and lead a peaceful life with Song Yao and our child… is an attractive proposition indeed! But Fu Huai’an… you’re only able to lead such a peaceful life with Xiao Nuan now because there’s Gu Qingcheng standing in front of you, don’t you know that?”
Gu Qingcheng, too, was staring at Cen Mo.
“If Gu Qingcheng dies, the lethal sword that others fear the most will disappear. If even I ‘die’, what if there are people who hate Mr. Moral to the core and insist on finding out Mr. Moral’s ident.i.ty to kill him?” Cen Mo looked up, his gaze meeting Fu Huai’an’s.
Before Fu Huai’an could say a word, he heard Cen Mo continue, “Fu Huai’an, I don’t really care about you. But I don’t want my sister… and my sister’s children to live precariously with you!”
“I have arrangements concerning our life,” Fu Huai’an answered.
Cen Mo shook his head. After taking a deep puff, he put out his cigarette, an unprecedentedly resolute look in his eyes. “My heart won’t be put at ease without the existence of your organization! If you want to lead a peaceful life, sure! If you want me to put on an act with you, that’s fine as well…”
