Chapter 1134: If I Say It Directly, Will I Be Beaten to Death?
“Can we talk in your study?” Fu Tianci’s hands clenched mildly by his sides, his expression nervous.
Fu Huai’an nodded, then turned around and walked upstairs. Fu Tianci followed behind him. After taking two steps, he turned his head back and glanced at Lin Nuan…
Seeing Lin Nuan smile and nod at him, Fu Tianci clenched his fists and quickened his pace to catch up.
Seeing Lin Nuan come back, Tang Zheng went to welcome her at the door, hoping to see You Nainai more quickly. Unexpectedly, instead of You Nainai, he saw Fu Tianci. As Fu Tianci went upstairs with Fu Huai’an, Tang Zheng hurriedly asked Lin Nuan, “Sis-in-law, where’s Nainai?”
“Nainai is parking the car. She’ll be here shortly…” Lin Nuan’s eyes were all smiles.
Tang Zheng didn’t feel awkward. Walking out, he said, “I’ll go and take a look!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
Seeing Lu Jinnan standing at the door too, she said, “Xiao Bai is on the way, I just called and confirmed it with her…”
Lu Jinnan heaved a sigh of relief. He nodded, but the word thanks was stuck in his throat.
Lin Nuan added as she walked up the stairs, “Xiao Bai knows you’re here!”
Lu Jinnan’s hands in his pockets slightly clenched, then he smiled and nodded. “Thanks…”
This time, Bai Xiaonian didn’t say much to Lin Nuan about her and Lu Jinnan’s matter. Every time she would begin to speak, she would hesitate. Then, in the end, she merely pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lin Nuan guessed that… the fiery-tempered Bai Xiaonian saw that girl Hong Jinyun look for Lu Jinnan and remembered that Lu Jinnan had even killed for her. She probably didn’t ask much else and denied Lu Jinnan completely. Hence, Lin Nuan wanted to let Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan have a chance to talk properly and resolve the misunderstanding.
Regarding that girl called Hong Jinyun, Lin Nuan didn’t ask Fu Huai’an much about her. But from Lu Jinnan’s speech, Lin Nuan could tell that he no longer cared about her.
Lin Nuan didn’t know the inside story of why he had murdered either, but Bai Xiaonian knew. Lin Nuan felt that perhaps she was so angry precisely because she knew…
But regardless, Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian had feelings for each other, and Lin Nuan was willing to give them a hand.
When Lu Jinnan heard what Lin Nuan said, he didn’t go inside and wait for her with peace of mind. Instead, he stood at the entrance, staring intently at the black gate in the distance, waiting.
He saw You Nainai enter the house with a cold expression as usual. Tang Zheng said something, and then there was a visible smile in You Nainai’s eyes.
Tang Zheng continued, encouraged. Although he didn’t go overboard with his actions, he was already very near You Nainai. This time… You Nainai didn’t keep a distance from Tang Zheng like she did in the past, merely smiling lightly.
Lu Jinnan rarely ever saw You Nainai smile. He felt that Tang Zheng’s happy ending should be near. What about him?
The black gate in the distance opened once again. Lu Jinnan felt his heart rise to his throat, but when the car got closer, Lu Jinnan saw that it was Bai Jinyu’s car and lost interest, the spark in his eyes fading.
Upstairs, Fu Huai’an led Fu Tianci to the study and asked him, “What do you want to talk about?”
“I want to cancel my marriage agreement with the Mus of Pengcheng!” Fu Tianci spoke directly. “I don’t like Mu Mantong and don’t wish to hold the girl up. I also don’t want her to interfere in my life, so we should call off the marriage agreement!”
“The Mu girl interfered in your life?” Fu Huai’an asked.
At the mention of this, Fu Tianci felt bad. He told Fu Huai’an all about what Mu Mantong had done during this time.
Fu Huai’an was momentarily silent, then said, “Raise this matter with Old Master Fu!”
“If I say it directly, will I be beaten to death?” Fu Tianci felt nervous. He was actually very scared of Fu Qingquan’s walking stick.
“In the past, Old Master Fu and Secretary Song fixed this marriage with the Mu family of Pengcheng in order to help you obtain the Kaide Corporation. But now, there’s no meaning to this marriage. Old Master Fu won’t refuse to call it off!” Fu Huai’an paused for a moment, then continued, “But the Mu family of Pengcheng might not agree so readily!”
Mu Mantong was the only daughter of Old Master Mu. Since Mu Mantong liked Fu Tianci so much, they probably wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Moreover, back then, Fu Qingquan had signed that kind of agreement with the Mu family of Pengcheng. Even if the Mu family agreed to call it off, they would bite a chunk of meat from Fu Qingquan!
Who knew whether this chunk of meat or Fu Tianci’s lifetime happiness was more important in Fu Qingquan’s heart!
Fu Huai’an lowered his gaze and thought about it. Now that the Kaide Corporation was in Fu Huai’an’s hands, Old Master Fu stopped fighting because the Fu family’s blood ran through Fu Huai’an’s body!
But what if it was the Mu family? Old Master Fu probably wouldn’t suck it up so readily.
After some pondering, Fu Huai’an said to Fu Tianci, “Go back and talk to Old Master Fu. Get Secretary Song to handle this matter, and it’ll be done!”
“Secretary Song?” Fu Tianci was surprised.
Fu Tianci saw an indistinct smile in Fu Huai’an’s eyes. “When it comes to playing the rogue in a civilized manner, Secretary Song is an expert!”
Although Fu Tianci didn’t quite understand, he knew it wasn’t a flattering description.
“Pa.s.s on my message to Secretary Song word for word!” Fu Huai’an rapped the desk with his index finger. He prepared to go downstairs, not planning to expend any further mental energy on this matter.
“Will this work?” Fu Tianci expressed doubt behind Fu Huai’an.
“If you don’t believe me, think of a way yourself…”
Fu Tianci followed behind Fu Huai’an and walked out, nodding repeatedly. “I believe! I believe!”
In Fu Tianci’s eyes, there was nothing Fu Huai’an couldn’t accomplish. If Fu Huai’an said it would work, it definitely would!
This was perhaps… a blind idolization!
Downstairs, Bai Jinyu and Xu Wanwan were surrounded and lectured by the others. They were saying that they had gone overboard by not even treating them to a meal after registering their marriage.
Tuan Tuan was back from kindergarten. The little one greeted everyone, then rushed upstairs to see his younger sister!
It was especially lively at home today. Downstairs, everyone was chatting merrily. Only Lu Jinnan was staring at the entrance distractedly.
Lin Nuan and Yun Liuli were still upstairs. Fu Huai’an’s vision swept over Lu Jinnan’s desolate expression, and then he asked a servant to go upstairs and ask Lin Nuan why Bai Xiaonian wasn’t there yet.
This was actually to get Lin Nuan to rush Bai Xiaonian with a call…
More importantly, Fu Huai’an was worried that Bai Xiaonian had regretted agreeing to come on the way there, as she didn’t wish to see Lu Jinnan, and went back home instead. He was worried that Lu Jinnan would be happy for nothing.
Although Fu Huai’an didn’t understand Bai Xiaonian, he understood his little bride very well. Lin Nuan absolutely wouldn’t deceive Bai Xiaonian to make her come, so she must have told Bai Xiaonian that Lu Jinnan was there.
After the servant pa.s.sed the message to Lin Nuan, Lin Nuan called Bai Xiaonian. Bai Xiaonian was still on the way. She complained, “How unlucky! My car scratched someone else’s car. I’m on Qujiang Road now…”
