Chapter 1027: A Pig’s Face Swollen Up From Beatings
“How can I not worry?” Liang Mulan was so anxious that her eyes had turned red. She quickly took her phone and searched for Lin Nuan’s phone number. “What if Huai’an misunderstands when he sees this? This won’t do. I must give Nuan Nuan a call!”
The more Liang Mulan thought about it, the more scared she was. She felt that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an might have already started quarreling over this.
“Mom!” Lin Ran stopped Liang Mulan, then sighed and confessed, “This person is Lin Nuan’s real brother, the child that Mom wrote about in the letter before she pa.s.sed away… Lu Boye!”
Both Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan turned to look at Lin Ran.
“It’s not that I wanted to hide this from you. Lin Nuan wanted to bring him over the night before the Lunar New Year’s Eve to tell you guys about it! You know this person as well… it’s Brother’s friend, Cen Mo. He’s Lin Nuan’s real brother!”
Both Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan were stunned. How did their son’s friend suddenly become Lin Nuan’s real brother?
The two of them continued to grill Lin Ran, so she could only say, “Lin Nuan didn’t explain things, and I didn’t ask her about it either. Anyway, Lin Nuan wanted to tell you about this herself. The two of you can just wait until Lin Nuan brings him over and ask her yourself! I don’t know anything!”
“Does your brother know about it as well?” Lin Jingquan asked Lin Ran.
Lin Ran shook her head. “I don’t think Brother knows about it!”
“You met up with Nuan Nuan and Cen Mo privately?” Liang Mulan asked.
Lin Ran nodded.
Liang Mulan looked at Lin Ran, and her eyes reddened as she suddenly took Lin Ran’s hand, patting it as she smiled.
Lin Jingquan’s lips also curled up.
Even though Lin Ran was stubborn, she had still accepted Lin Nuan from the bottom of her heart.
Liang Mulan still didn’t know that Lin Ran had said those words to Lin Nuan in front of Ji Yun’s grave.
Liang Mulan still thought that Lin Ran had a knot in her heart toward Lin Nuan, which she had let go of a little due to Ji Yun. After Ji Yun’s funeral, she thought their relations.h.i.+p would likely only be lukewarm. She hadn’t expected them to start getting in touch with each other by themselves.
How could Lin Ran not understand why Liang Mulan’s eyes had reddened when she saw her parents’ gazes.
This was one thing she couldn’t bear. She drew back her hand, went back to her seat, picked up her chopsticks, and poked at the rice in her bowl. She then said in a stiff tone, “The two of you shouldn’t be worried. Lin Nuan’s manager is Fang Yan, who is very well-known in the industry. She’ll definitely be able to take care of this matter!”
Lin Ran had just finished her words when Old Master Lin called again, urging Lin Jingquan and asking if he had recruited a water army.
Lin Ran had wanted to have the Lin family not interfere in this matter, but she was afraid that Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin would think that she was harboring other thoughts. Therefore, she shut up and ate her food.
Lin Jingquan had spent his entire life in the business world and didn’t know what a water army was. After respectfully agreeing to his father’s request, he could only ask Lin Ran helplessly, “Your grandfather anxiously asked me to recruit a water army… Xiao Ran, do you know how to do this? Your grandfather wants them to reply to the comments that are scolding Nuan Nuan…”
Lin Ran was speechless.
Without saying anything, Lin Ran called Gu Shaoting. It was rare for Gu Shaoting to receive a call from Lin Ran, let alone for her to be asking for his help. Without saying anything else, he agreed.
After Lin Ran hung up the call, Lin Jingquan quickly returned Old Master Lin’s call to give a report on the matter. At that moment, Old Master Lin was wearing his presbyopic gla.s.ses and was seated under the floor lamp, staring at his phone and going through the comments. His mind was finally at ease upon hearing his son say that the water army had been recruited.
Lin Ran was afraid that the fuss kicked up by the Lin family might create trouble for Lin Nuan, so she secretly sent her a message. She told Lin Nuan about how Old Master Lin had asked to recruit a water army, and she also said that the family was now aware that Cen Mo was her real brother.
It was just that Lin Nuan was busy spending time with the three children and hadn’t noticed her phone.
Concerning such things, Lin Nuan was comfortable leaving them to Fang Yan. She didn’t want to see the foul words on the internet. Why was there a need for her to spoil her own mood?
Fang Yan previously had everything planned out, but suddenly, a large water army suddenly appeared, clearing Lin Nuan’s name and scolding the comments that bad-mouthed her. Fang Yan was stunned. Some of the people who were scolding Lin Nuan were the water army that their agency had spent money to recruit!
She watched as more and more people from the water army retaliated. The water army was comprised of those that didn’t care if the other party made sense… They would scold back harshly on the comments that scolded Lin Nuan.
Fang Yan had great experience in this line of work and knew that they were all members of a recruited water army. She really wanted to say, “Calm down, we’re allies!”
She called Little Lu, wanting to know if it was a case of friendly fire…
Little Lu said that after Fang Yan had given him a heads up, he had informed Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu knew about Fang Yan’s operations and thus didn’t interfere this time around.
Fang Yan then thought of Lin Nuan’s brother and called Lin Nuan. It just so happened that Cen Mo was next to her, so she asked him. Cen Mo said that Lin Nuan had told him about the matter, so there wasn’t a need for him to recruit a water army over this.
Fang Yan felt depressed as she hung up the call. It was only then that Lin Nuan saw Lin Ran’s message…
Lin Nuan was stunned, and her eyes moistened up.
Lin Nuan felt warm inside, being protected by her family like this.
After Lin Nuan told Fang Yan about this, Fang Yan’s heart felt as if it was clogged up… Lin Nuan’s grandfather wanted to stand up for her, so how could Fang Yan possibly say no?
“But with the appearance of this water army, there are already people who are saying that you’ve recruited a water army because you’ve been pushed to a desperate state. Even if you come out and explain that you’re siblings with Mr. Cen, people might just think that it’s an excuse…” Fang Yan’s head started throbbing, and she pinched her forehead.
The water army that was standing up for Lin Nuan came in many waves and with great momentum. Even the water army the agency had recruited to defame Lin Nuan was suppressed. Fang Yan couldn’t help but feel shocked. How big a water army did the Lin family recruit?
Lin Nuan was very optimistic about this matter, especially with how the Lin family was protecting her. How could she be lacking in conscience and blame them?
Lin Nuan’s att.i.tude was very good. A warm feeling flowed in her heart, and she said, “Sister Yan, it’s alright. I have a clear conscience. It doesn’t matter to me whether other people believe it or not.”
Fang Yan was rendered speechless.
It had been a while since Song Yao touched her phone. She opened up Weibo while Lin Nuan was talking to Fang Yan. The moment Song Yao saw the comments, rage rose up in her heart…
Before Song Yao could type something and send it out, Su Manman had already posted something.
[@Su Manman: I’ve realized that some people just like to poke their noses into other people’s business and worry for nothing without getting their facts right. What have other people’s private matters got to do with you? After so many times, has there been a single time you guys didn’t get a slap in the face after scolding my sis-in-law? You’re still not stopping although you’ve been beaten up so badly that your faces have swollen into pig faces? I just want to ask, do your faces hurt? How many times have you apologized to my sis-in-law, yet you’re blindly kicking up a fuss after seeing a photo? Are faces not worth anything these days?]
Su Manman had always been a person who was sharp with her words. She didn’t even give Lin Nuan a call, releasing the Weibo post after coming out of the filming studio to touch up her makeup and hearing this from her makeup artists. The photo she uploaded with the post was that of a pig’s face that was swollen up from beatings.
