“Huai’an, what’s going on?” Old Master Fu looked toward Fu Huai’an. “Were you really the one who did that?”
Fu Huai’an crossed his legs and sat comfortably on the sofa. He had a low-profile and composed disposition, and it was hard to ignore his existence even when he didn’t say a word.
Fu Huai’an nodded.
“President Fu…” Old Master Mu looked toward Fu Huai’an and frowned. “Since you admit that this matter was done by you, then let’s hear what you have to say. I’m Mu Guangpu’s uncle, after all. He’s the only child his mother left behind, so you ought to give us an explanation for this!”
“Didn’t Old Master Mu go and get the surveillance records from the place where Young Master Mu met with his mishap? Since you’ve seen the surveillance records, why is there a need to ask so much?” Fu Huai’an smiled deeply, and he looked toward Old Master Mu with a gaze that was as calm as water.
Mu Mantong appeared surprised and turned to look at her father.
Old Master Mu maintained a calm composure and said, “Video aside… I’m more willing to hear President Fu’s explanation.”
“I’ve long heard about Young Master Mu’s flirtatious nature. This time around, I was just teaching Young Master Mu a lesson and letting him understand what kind of people he can touch and what kind of people he’d have to pay a price just for setting his thoughts on!” Fu Huai’an’s tone was composed.
Fu Huai’an had always been a person who didn’t speak much.
“Isn’t President Fu’s lesson a little too heavy?” Old Master Mu’s pitch went up one level higher.
That was Old Master Mu’s nephew. His deceased elder sister only had this one son. Now that even this child was a goner with him being rendered impotent, how could Old Master Mu possibly not be angry?
Fu Tianci looked nervously at Fu Huai’an. He wanted to speak up for Fu Huai’an, but his mother, Lu Qingmei, grabbed him by the wrist.
Fu Huai’an didn’t say anything, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He rested one of his hands on his knee, and his clear joints occasionally knocked on his kneecap. “Old Master Mu, in my opinion, this lesson is still considered light.”
“Huai’an!” Fu Qingquan reprimanded in a harsh tone. “Apologize to Old Master Mu!”
Lin Nuan, who had remained silent all this while, seemed as if she had heard some kind of joke. She knew that Fu Qingquan was trying to beat down Fu Huai’an, but he was too obvious in his intentions.
Old Master Mu’s countenance was grisly.
“Old Master Mu…” Lin Nuan revealed a light smile and said, “In your opinion, Mu Guangpu is your nephew, a child from your family. Therefore, no matter what wrong he has done, he shouldn’t be dealt such a heavy punishment! However, Mu Guangpu isn’t a child of everyone in this world. Not everyone can forgive Mu Guangpu’s behavior. I’ve heard of a saying in the past. Things that the family doesn’t teach their child will be taught to them by society in several hundred folds! I remember, in the past, there was news in Pengcheng of Mu Guangpu hara.s.sing ladies and raising his hand against them…”
“What are you? This is no place for you to speak up!”
Lin Nuan hadn’t finished her words when Fu Qingquan slapped the armrest of his chair and pointed toward Lin Nuan’s nose, scolding her.
Fu Huai’an’s gaze turned dark. Before he could speak, the study’s door was pushed open.
Secretary Song stood next to Old Master Lin with an awkward expression. Old Master Lin had an a.s.sertive character in his younger days, and he still remained the same today… He was unable to hold him back!
“Fu Qingquan, what an overbearing tone you have! What is my granddaughter? Go on and tell me what my granddaughter is!”
Old Master Lin and Fu Qingquan had been friends back in their school days. However, after they graduated, the two of them drifted further apart due to the special situation between the Lin family and the Fu family.
Lin Nuan was taken aback and stood up. “Grandpa!”
This was the second time that Secretary Song had failed to stop someone. He felt very upset about this!
Secretary Song had told Old Master Lin that the matter that they were handling in the study was more private and that it wasn’t convenient for him to enter. However, Old Master Lin said that his granddaughter was also inside, so why couldn’t he enter?
Moreover, a.s.sistant Liu was pulling back Secretary Song and therefore… Secretary Song didn’t manage to stop Old Master Lin’s entry.
Fu Qingquan’s head started to ache, and he stood up. “Lin Demao, you…”
Fu Qingquan couldn’t bring himself to say that she wasn’t a granddaughter related to him by blood. He only said, “Look at this child’s upbringing. There’s no place for her to speak when the elders are talking!”
“I’m very clear on the upbringing that our family’s child has! In the entirety of Haicheng, no one would dare claim to be first if our family’s child were to be said to be second in upbringing!” Old Master Lin’s voice sounded very rough, and he pointed at Fu Tianci. “With how your family’s rascal was scolding the broadcast station’s president, how dare you reprimand the upbringing that someone else’s child has! Aren’t you slapping yourself in the face? You haven’t even managed the situation in your own home, yet you keep picking on other people’s children! You’re really capable!”
Lin Nuan was stunned. She hadn’t seen Old Master Lin acting like this before, blowing his lid!
In Lin Nuan’s impression, Old Master Lin had always been reserved and composed, someone who was taciturn.
Fu Qingquan was struck where it hurt, and his countenance changed.
Chu Xun lowered her head. Her countenance was also a little pale.
The clip of Fu Tianci scolding her had been spread out crazily, and even her parents almost fainted from anger. They forbade Chu Xun from getting in contact with the Fu family from then on…
However, Chu Xun was unable to forget Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an also stood up and took Lin Nuan’s hand. He then greeted Old Master Lin respectfully, “Grandpa!”
Old Master Lin’s agitated emotions calmed down a little. “Nuan Nuan said that you treat her very well. Is this how you treat her well? You aren’t even able to protect your wife in front of your grandfather!”
Fu Huai’an could tell that Old Master Fu really doted on Lin Nuan. His att.i.tude toward Old Master Lin was a lot more respectful than his att.i.tude toward Fu Qingquan. “It’s my bad. I let Xiao Nuan feel aggrieved! Grandpa, please be a.s.sured that this won’t happen again in the future! Since my grandfather doesn’t like Xiao Nuan, we won’t come and disturb him no matter what happens in the future.”
Fu Qingquan was filled with rage. Given his age, how could he not understand that Fu Huai’an was bringing him humiliation in front of the Mu family?
Was Fu Huai’an planning on cutting off all ties with him just because he had reprimanded his wife?
Old Master Lin was a little appeased, and he looked at Lin Nuan, whose eyes had turned a little red. He said to Fu Huai’an, “You’re a lot better than your grandfather!”
This was the first time that Lin Nuan had seen Old Master Lin so infuriated, and it was in her defense. How could Lin Nuan not feel moved?
It was as if her heart had been stuffed with a cotton ball soaked in vinegar…
“Old Lin, don’t be angry. The cause of this matter was my good-for-nothing nephew! We’ll let this matter pa.s.s and not bring it up again in the future!” Old Master Mu also stood up and smiled as he said to Old Master Lin, “Today’s the engagement between the two children. Let’s go down and join in the lively celebration!”
Old Master Mu chose a good time to step forth, letting everyone have a way out of the embarra.s.sing situation, wanting to end this topic.
“Grandpa, Xiao Nuan and I will go down together with you…”
Fu Huai’an spoke up, and Old Master Lin allowed him this honor. After all, Fu Huai’an had made his stand very clear earlier.
