Chapter 537: Lin Nuan Was Unhappy About the Fact That She Called You

“Thanks for the hard work!”
Fu Huai’an took the tray with his cigarette-welding hand. “It’s still hot. Take a sip.”
“Thank you…” Lin Nuan’s words were directed at Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan nodded. He removed the cigarette from his lips and tapped away the ashes before saying to Fu Huai’an, “I think, based on Fu Tianci’s temperament, this engagement party might not go down smoothly!”
Knowing the two of them needed to talk, Lin Nuan raised the other gla.s.s of milk and walked towards Tuan Tuan, calling out to him…
Tuan Tuan immediately ran to Lin Nuan’s side. Seeing Lin Nuan carrying the gla.s.s of milk, he raised his hands high and took the gla.s.s, then gulped down several large mouthfuls. Noticing that Lin Nuan was drinking milk with him, his mouth widened in a vibrant smile.
After finis.h.i.+ng the milk, Tuan Tuan raised the gla.s.s high to return it to Lin Nuan, then retrieved a rock from his pocket for Lin Nuan to see. “Mama!”
The heart-shaped rock had a natural-looking appearance.
“Tuan Tuan is terrific!” Lin Nuan praised Tuan Tuan sincerely. “What other pretty rocks has Tuan Tuan found?”
Tuan Tuan was elated to be praised, so he took out the pretty rocks from his stuffed pockets as if presenting a treasure.
Lin Nuan carried the two gla.s.ses and, taking care not to stain her gown, knelt down and studied those rocks with Tuan Tuan.
Lu Jinnan glanced at Tuan Tuan and Lin Nuan not far away, then said to Fu Huai’an, “The news we received was likely real! In order to kick you from your position, the old man really dared to resort to all sorts of means! To get the Mus’ support, he was even willing to sign such an unfair agreement! He’s not even fearful of the possibility that the Kaide Corporation might land in the Mus’ hands one day!”
It was something he had expected, so Fu Huai’an had nothing to say to it.
He tapped the cigarette ash. “Fu Tianci’s mother understands him better than we do. With her means, she will surely think of a way to hold Fu Tianci down for now and talk about things after getting them engaged!”
Lu Jinnan thought about it, then nodded.
“I heard that Fu Tianci’s mother threatened you.”
Fu Huai’an stared at Lu Jinnan with a hint of a smile. “Who did you hear that from?”
Lu Jinnan smirked. “Who else could it be? Lu Qili called me!”
Lu Jinnan then glanced at Lin Nuan. “Lu Qili said that Lin Nuan was unhappy about the fact that she called you, so you hung up on her without hearing her out. But since this matter concerned your safety, she couldn’t ignore it, so even if I hate her, she had to call me to tell me about it! She acted like she was devoted and could bear it all in the name of love!”
White smoke swirled up from Fu Huai’an’s fingertips. He frowned, a deep look in his eyes.
“Regarding the fact that you were once in the armed forces, you’ve never talked about it with us, and none of us have ever asked you about it either. So was what Lu Qili said true? If it’s true… we need to put up our defenses in advance!”
“No need!” Fu Huai’an lowered his gaze and tapped away the cigarette ash. “Fu Tianci’s mother knew a little bit at most and was only scaring Lu Qili! I took care of things back then and didn’t leave a single dangerous element behind.”
Lu Jinnan nodded. “So long as you know what you’re doing!”
“How are Tang Zheng’s preparations coming along?”
There would be a big show at today’s engagement party. Fu Huai’an was planning to take the chance to begin his long vacation.
“Don’t worry! Everything is prepared! There’s just a little problem with the cash flow! But, by tonight at the latest, it will all be taken care of!”
Lu Jinnan clenched his fists in preparation for a great fight!
Lu Jinnan wanted to see who could be sent in their place to handle those company matters if the Kaide Corporation were to exist without Fu Huai’an and him. What tricks could they be playing! It was Fu Huai’an’s possession to begin with; if they couldn’t obtain it, they might as well ruin it!
It was true that Fu Huai’an had devoted a lot of energy and effort into it, but Fu Qingquan had invested a lot more of his energy and effort into it…
If Fu Qingquan insisted on fighting them to the end, then Lu Jinnan was prepared to fight back with Fu Huai’an to the end.
After he was done with his cigarette, Fu Huai’an stepped on the cigarette b.u.t.t to extinguish it. He glanced at the mother-and-son duo who were playing with rocks not far away, saying, “Why aren’t you eating the snacks and cake?”
Turning around to look at Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan walked back hand-in-hand with Tuan Tuan.
After placing the rocks that Tuan Tuan picked up into the car, Lin Nuan sat in the backseat with her feet on the ground and carefully wiped the little hands of Tuan Tuan, who was standing before her. The two of them each ate a cupcake. Lin Nuan reapplied her lipstick, then proceeded to enter the manor.
Lu Jinnan lifted Tuan Tuan, then placed the little one on his shoulders and walked ahead…
Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s hand in his. Being considerate of the fact that Lin Nuan was in high heels, the two of them walked slowly behind the others, their fingers intertwined.
Fu Qingquan had dragged his sickly body out to entertain the guests. He didn’t put on an air of superiority like he usually did, instead, saying h.e.l.lo to each and every one of them in an affable manner.
There were still imprints from Old Madam Fu’s scratches from earlier, but no one brought it up.
In the distance, Fu Qingquan saw Tuan Tuan, who was lifted up high on Lu Jinnan’s shoulders, as well as Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an, who were walking inside hand-in-hand. Fu Qingquan then turned his head and instructed Secretary Song to go over and welcome them.
Secretary Song immediately understood and went over. As he pa.s.sed by Lu Jinnan, he nodded at the latter before continuing in Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan’s direction…
Regarding this gesture from Fu Qingquan, Lu Jinnan felt overwhelmed by flattery and honor on behalf of Fu Huai’an.
He weighed Tuan Tuan on his shoulders and said with a smile, “Tuan Tuan, your great-grandfather must be up to no good, being nice for no reason! Or did he change his temperament?”
Tuan Tuan didn’t understand what Lu Jinnan was talking about. He looked at Lu Jinnan. He understood the word “great-grandfather,” so he gazed up in Fu Qingquan’s direction.
“I say, your great-grandfather is good with his sum!” Lu Jinnan snickered. “He’s likely plotting to make use of your father for something!”
Lu Jinnan understood Fu Qingquan pretty well…
Fu Qingquan intended to have Fu Huai’an go around and introduce Fu Tianci to everyone.
Such a gesture might sound like nothing much, but if one thought deeper about it, one would realize that he was trying to raise Fu Tianci up by trampling on Fu Huai’an.
Secretary Song smiled at Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan and addressed them, “President Fu, Madam, the chairman asked me to come over and welcome the two of you.”
Lin Nuan smiled slightly at Secretary Song but didn’t say anything, only gently squeezing Fu Huai’an’s hand.
Even Lin Nuan could tell that Fu Qingquan was up to something by this gesture, much less the scheming Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an squeezed back with his expression unchanged, turning his head to glance at Lin Nuan…
The little actions between the two of them were too ambiguous!
Secretary Song felt a little awkward, but he still had to maintain his smile. “This way, please!”
Fu Huai’an, who had a strong presence, held Lin Nuan’s hand in his and walked in from outside under the accompaniment of Secretary Song, grabbing many people’s attention.
“Huai’an is here…” Fu Qingquan smiled genially at Fu Huai’an. “Tianci’s getting engaged today. That kid is still young, so we need family to keep an eye on things, to help take care of the guests!”
