Chapter 504: Don’t Wish for Her to Suffer Any More Grievances
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Why was Fu Huai’an so good at attracting so much unwanted attention?
Never mind that he had attracted such unwanted attention to himself, but why did said unwanted attention have to come seeking trouble with her?
The innocent Fu Huai’an, who had done nothing, expressed that he felt aggrieved…
There was her boss Chu Xun who was suppressing her at work. Although Lin Nuan always appeared nonchalant in front of Fang Yan, she wasn’t truly as calm at heart as the front she presented.
Although Lin Nuan wasn’t arrogant enough to claim she had single-handedly made “A Sunday Date” into the popular show it was today, she had, at least, put a lot of effort into the program. Now that it finally bore fruit, it was s.n.a.t.c.hed from her hands. How could she not be vexed over that?
Even if this program wasn’t too similar to the kind of program Lin Nuan wanted to be doing, being forced out of the program like that and voluntarily stepping down from the program were still two different things altogether.
Lin Nuan wasn’t extraordinarily big-hearted when it came to some matters; she was, after all, just human.
She would also be troubled by the difficulties she ran into at work, and she would also be mad at the unwanted attention her husband attracted to himself.
Lin Nuan had originally planned on watching Fu Huai’an’s interview, but she clearly wasn’t in the mood for that now. The moment she thought of Fu Huai’an, she would think of Chu Xun and Lu Qili, making her feel pent-up at heart.
…
In the President’s Office of Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an was leisurely sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed as he answered questions.
“The response to your defending your wife on the web was overwhelming! These slogans have started trending on the web: the women of Kaide Corporation won’t concede defeat, and… I’m Lin Nuan, if you have a problem, talk to my husband!” The female reporter laughed and continued, “President Fu, when you were changing your Weibo name and retweeting the post, had you antic.i.p.ated that the public would have so much interest in this?”
Fu Huai’an placed one hand on the genuine leather sofa and the other on his knee, tapping on his knee randomly. “This, no. But I did hope for more people to see this and for more people to know that I’m Lin Nuan’s husband.”
“Why is that so? Because Mrs. Fu is too pretty, and you’re afraid someone might steal her?” the female reporter joked.
Who knew that Fu Huai’an would nod in a serious manner. “My wife is too pretty, and too many people are coveting her. If I didn’t make her my Mrs early, I wouldn’t be at ease! Furthermore, she suffered too many grievances all these years, so when she’s with me… I don’t wish for her to suffer any more grievances.”
The female reporter nodded, not sure whether to laugh or cry at the directness of the line, “My wife is too pretty.” This president certainly wasn’t stingy with his compliments when it came to his wife!”
Mrs. Fu was truly… even she was envious of her.
She lowered her head and looked at the questions she had prepared. “It’s like this, President Fu. Someone pointed out on the web, back then, when you brought the child back to Haicheng, there were rumors that you were going to get engaged to Wen Moshen’s wife, Gu Hanyan. Later, Mrs. Wen seemed to subtly confirm that on a tv program, then… during that time, did something happen between you and your wife, Lin Nuan?”
“The news regarding my engagement to Gu Hanyan, did everyone receive a notification from me, or an official notification from the Kaide Corporation?” Fu Huai’an asked in return, a maybe-smiling-maybe-not look on his face.
The female reporter paused momentarily, as if suddenly enlightened. She then laughed as she shook her head. “Well, no. Then Miss Gu must have spouted nonsense then. Of course… a woman like Miss Gu, if she really had the chance to get engaged with President Fu, how could she have easily given it up…”
“I shall not comment on Miss Gu’s character, but the elders in the family indeed didn’t know about Xiao Nuan and me, and the Gus also brought up the fact that they had an unmarried daughter. The elders had asked me for my opinion, and I had rejected them. So, I’m not sure how things got misinterpreted later on.”
Fu Huai’an spoke gentlemanly and didn’t sound like he was trampling on a woman.
Now the female reporter felt a little awkward; she had made a fool of herself while trying to suck up to Fu Huai’an.
The female reporter lowered her head and saw another question, so she asked, “In the past, it was spread on the internet that Mrs. Fu had gone to Iraq in search of Wen Moshen. Back then, you two didn’t stand out to make any clarifications, so what were your thoughts at the time?”
“Xiao Nuan and I don’t like to reveal our personal life to the public and don’t want to become a topic of conversation for other people. All these years, regardless of what others have said about her, Xiao Nuan has never once stood out to explain herself in the media. Regarding news like who she had gone to Iraq for, she didn’t at all care. I know exactly what happened, so I don’t care either! If this matter hadn’t implicated our son, it’s likely that Xiao Nuan and I wouldn’t have stood out to clarify matters still…”
Fu Huai’an’s rich and magnetic voice made him sound like a man of authority and had a convincing quality to it.
All these years, Lin Nuan had indeed never said anything to the media; this was something everyone could see. Even after Wen Moshen had appeared on “A Sunday Date,” after she received all kinds of insults on the internet, all the media could capture was an unaffected Lin Nuan who went about her days as per normal, seemingly not caring at all!
Until this time, when it implicated their son…
That was all the more true for Fu Huai’an. If Fu Huai’an hadn’t stood out to reveal his personal love life to the media, the media couldn’t make wild speculations on their own, and couldn’t get ahold of any concrete evidence.
Even when news of Fu Huai’an’s engagement to Gu Hanyan caused an uproar all over the city, he, as the main lead, didn’t stand out to clarify matters. No one had managed to capture a picture of Fu Huai’an and Gu Hanyan together either.
Now that all these a.s.sociations were linked up together, it made what Fu Huai’an said all the more convincing.
The female reporter took a glance at the questions she had noted down, then continued, “There has been a video circulating online, and although the video quality is a little blurry, people have been spreading that, in order to avenge your wife, you smashed two watches that cost several tens of thousands of yuan. Subsequently, those two girls that got into a conflict with your wife, one’s high-ranking official father was removed from his post, and the other girl’s family business has found itself in trouble. The netizens want to know if these have anything to do with you?”
Fu Huai’an laughed. His hands were on his knees, and his mature, cold, and tough facial features clearly said, that’s right, that was all me. However, he still reb.u.t.ted seriously, saying, “I was indeed the one who smashed those watches. But I’m a proper businessman. How would I be able to remove a high-ranking official from his post? This is a little ridiculous. The government is taking a tough stance against corruption right now, so naturally, they are taking strong measures to convict those who are guilty.”
While extracting himself from the situation, Fu Huai’an also managed to suck up to the government with what he said…
“As for how the other lady’s family business fell into trouble, how shall I put it… we’re all in the business circle in Haicheng, so it’s related to me somehow. Business is a battlefield, and it’s perfectly normal to have ups and downs, so there’s no need to be overly concerned about that,” Fu Huai’an said with indifference.
The interview went on for over 40 minutes. Little Lu was listening to his boss reply to the reporter by the side, and he felt that the responses were peppered full of dog food. He wasn’t stingy with the public affection. Even the reporter was feeling a little embarra.s.sed listening to him.
