Chapter 683 Just Give the Kaide Corporation to That Child!
After her lie was exposed, the little girl’s tears flowed down her face. She stole a glance at Old Madam Fu, fearing she might be detested.
Fu Xinxin was older than Fu Mingming, so watching those adults’ gazes transform, she acutely sensed that the adults now looked at her differently.
She tugged on her mother’s clothes, terrified…
Seeing the way Fu Cheng’s daughter was seized with terror and hiding behind her mother, Su Manman looked towards Ye Ziqi, then, in a leisurely tone, said, “Don’t tell me… your daughter also knows Venerable Konglong and is on such friendly terms with him that… she managed to get Venerable Konglong, who sealed up his blade many years ago, to carve a pendant that’s identical to Lin Nuan’s!”
“Fu Manman! What benefits did Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an give you, for you to bully my two kids like this! Did Venerable Konglong carve this for Lin Nuan just because you said so? Do you dare to get Venerable Konglong to come down and testify? Or is your mouth particularly n.o.ble and precious just because your surname is Fu, meaning whatever you say must be the truth? Even if you must accuse my two kids, there’s no need to bring Venerable Konglong into this! They’re both so young and usually so obedient. How could they weave such a lie? Only adults could be so scheming and vicious!”
Ye Ziqi was adamant about not admitting that they were in the wrong. “The pendant my daughter gave my son was bought during our family vacation to Greece. It just happens to be identical to Lin Nuan’s son’s pendant. I was the one who paid, so what’s the problem here? Why is this pendant so unique that only Lin Nuan and her son are allowed to possess it?”
Su Manman hugged her elbows, her eyes full of sarcasm as her gaze flickered between Ye Ziqi and her children…
“Lin Nuan’s name can be seen in this exquisite carving! Find a piece of paper and make an imprint upon it, then everyone can see! Ye Ziqi… is your daughter secretly in love with Lin Nuan? Why would she carve Lin Nuan’s name on the pendant and give it to her own brother? Or are you the one in love with Lin Nuan? Did you go to Greece to find a pendant with Lin Nuan’s name carved into it to give to your child? Are you a lesbian?”
Su Manman paused to give Ye Ziqi a chance to perform, but Ye Ziqi remained silent with a grim look on her face.
Su Manman stared at Ye Ziqi and laughed. “Talk is cheap. Just nice… that episode of the variety show will be broadcasted tonight! Let’s turn on the TV and have a good look. We’ll see whether it’s my mouth that is n.o.ble and precious, spewing nothing but the truth just because I bear the surname Fu, or if it’s that you and your children are superb liars…”
Su Manman’s gaze turned dark. “By then, when it’s revealed that the three of you lied, don’t blame me for being hard on you. Don’t dream of stepping out of the Fus’ house if the three of you don’t jump into the lake today!”
Old Madam Fu, who was standing by the side, looked embarra.s.sed. She opened her mouth and wanted to berate Su Manman, but her grandfather and grandmother were around, and since her grandparents didn’t speak up, it didn’t seem appropriate for Old Madam Fu to scold her herself…
Hence, Old Madam Fu decided to pick on the easier target. She frowned and chided Lin Nuan, saying, “Lin Nuan, it’s only a pendant. If Mingming likes it… just give him yours! Why are you being calculative with a child when you’re an adult?”
“Old Madam Fu, you speak amusingly. Our Tuan Tuan is also just a child. I guess it serves him right for being pushed into the lake and suffering an injury to his neck?” Lin Nuan’s clean and beautiful eyes were on Old Madam Fu. “Does Old Madam Fu think I’m a saint? My son nearly died under the hands of someone else, yet you’re asking me to give up my belongings just because someone said they fancy it? What a special way of putting it! According to your logic, when Huai’an’s mother was no longer around, why didn’t you relinquish the Kaide Corporation to Huai’an’s biological father? Fu Tianci is also young and still a child. Since he likes the Kaide Corporation, why are you trying your utmost to get Huai’an to vie for it? Just give the Kaide Corporation to that child! Why are you being calculative with a child when you’re an adult?”
Lin Nuan returned Old Madam Fu’s words to her.
“Lin Nuan!” Old Madam Fu nearly fainted from anger.
Lin Nuan, who was usually gentle and calm, rarely spoke so harshly.
It was like Lin Nuan stabbed Old Madam Fu’s heart with every word she said!
Fu Wan was the softest hurt in Old Madam Fu’s heart, whilst Fu Tianci was the deepest scar. Everyone present knew that, but no one had expected Lin Nuan to reveal Old Madam Fu’s scars so boldly and mercilessly.
Ye Ziqi’s lips parted…
“Before you think of a good story, you better keep your mouth shut!” Su Manman was merciless as well, sneering at Ye Ziqi.
“Grandaunt, if we talk about blood ties, Tuan Tuan is your real great-grandson. If we talk about age, Tuan Tuan is younger than them both. Those two can kick up a fuss when they suffer a grievance, but when Tuan Tuan gets injured, you’re asking Lin Nuan to swallow the grievance and not be calculative. What’s the logic here? You’re not being impartial!”
“Fu Manman, come with me! What business is it of yours? What nonsense are you spewing?” Su Manman’s mother was strongly opposed to Su Manman meddling in the family affairs of Fu Qingquan’s family. She grabbed Su Manman and tried to drag her in the direction of Old Madam Fu.
“I’m not spewing nonsense! Everything I said is true!” Su Manman shrugged her shoulders, acting innocent, as if she didn’t know what she said wrong.
Su Manman’s mother was speechless.
Su Manman’s mother knew her daughter well. She knew that Su Manman was adamant about meddling in this affair today and that no one could talk her out of it.
“What else do you have to say, Ye Ziqi? Don’t say the Fu family is bullying you and your family. I’ll give you the time to weave a story!” Su Manman stared at Ye Ziqi with those beautiful eyes of hers, her tone as disdainful as it could get. “Your children have bullied a child of our Fu family to this state, nearly causing him to die! And yet, you still have the cheek to say we’re bullying you?”
Seeing that his mother, older sister, and father were all keeping quiet—especially his older sister, who had tears falling down her cheeks—Fu Mingming suddenly grew bold and pointed a finger at Tuan Tuan. “You deserve to die! Your father s.n.a.t.c.hed my father’s company away from him! Your father ought to die too! Your entire family ought to die! Why didn’t you drown?”
Fu Cheng’s hands clenched into fists by his sides. “Fu Mingming! Who taught you to talk like that!”
As she watched Fu Mingming point his finger at Tuan Tuan, shouting that he deserved to die, a “weng” sound rang off in Lin Nuan’s brain. She raised her hand and was about to give that little thing a tight slap across the face… However, Su Manman’s eyes darkened, and she turned around and kicked Fu Mingming in one fell swoop before Lin Nuan could do anything.
“Why don’t you go and die! You and your family are the ones that should die!” Su Manman’s temper got the better of her, and she no longer cared if it was just a child. She wished that she could charge up again and stomp on that filthy mouth.
“Mingming!” Ye Ziqi was so freaked out that she screamed. Her blood coagulated, causing her entire body to remain frozen. She was fearful of something untoward happening to her son.
