Chapter 449: Would She Mind Something Like This?
Fu Huai’an’s appearance gave Lin Nuan a sense of security.
With her backing here, Lin Nuan felt emboldened. Out of respect for an elder, she suppressed the anger in her heart and repeated, “Auntie Wen, please get out of the way!”
Wen Moshen’s mother looked at Fu Huai’an with her eyes reddened. She ignored his intimidating aura and questioned him, “Under what conditions would you give Lin Nuan up to our Moshen? How much money do you want? State your price! Our Wen family can afford to give you however much you want!”
Lin Nuan felt like she was about to explode upon hearing these words, her expression turning ghastly. Wen Moshen’s expression was even more ghastly.
Lin Nuan yanked Wen Moshen’s mother away by the arm.
Wen Moshen’s mother was in heels and thus lost her balance, her back knocking against the opening door.
Lin Nuan didn’t use much strength, so the force wasn’t too impactful, but the door had slammed against the wall, so the resulting sound was a little loud and scary.
“Mom!” Wen Moshen called out. He wanted to go over to support her, but his legs felt heavy, as if they were loaded with lead.
Lin Nuan got a scare too, remaining rooted to the ground.
Fu Huai’an’s deep gaze coldly turned towards Auntie Wen, who was straightening her body with the support of the door. The corners of his lips turned up as he asked, “How much do the Wens’ a.s.sets total?”
Lin Nuan’s clear gaze was on Fu Huai’an, who looked indifferent.
Wen Moshen’s mother paused in surprise.
Fu Huai’an followed up calmly, “The Wen Corporation has an estimated market value of a little more than $10 billion USD. Let’s call it $15 billion USD…”
Hearing Fu Huai’an’s tone of voice, Wen Moshen’s mother’s expression changed drastically.
She took a closer look at Fu Huai’an’s outfit; Wen Moshen’s mother had been attending to Wen Moshen’s father’s clothing all these years, and so she could tell that this was a tailored suit, the craftsmans.h.i.+p and material absolutely exorbitant.
Especially the cuffs… they looked so exquisite and pricey that it was enough to take one’s breath away.
So, Lin Nuan’s husband… had greater financial strength than the Wens. It was no wonder Lin Nuan was unwilling to get together with Wen Moshen!
Likely, Lin Nuan had set her sights higher than the Wens by now.
Fu Huai’an’s vision swept across Wen Moshen, then across Wen Moshen’s mother’s pale face, before he reached out to take Lin Nuan by the hand. “Let’s go…”
Lin Nuan gave Fu Huai’an her hand and held on to it tightly.
“I hope Young Master Wen’s surgery goes smoothly tomorrow.”
Fu Huai’an gave a courteous nod.
Seeing as Fu Huai’an was about to leave, Wen Moshen’s mother anxiously spoke up, saying, “Why, do you want all of the Wens’ a.s.sets?”
Fu Huai’an didn’t reply. Wen Moshen’s mother had a proud look on her face, speaking with her fists tightly clenched, “Do you think a Lin Nuan is worth that much? I’ll give you 100 million. One hundred million should be plenty, shouldn’t it? Divorce Lin Nuan and give her up! One hundred million is yours for the taking, this is a fantastic deal you won’t be able to find anywhere else!”
Hearing his own mother sticking a price tag of 100 million on Lin Nuan and brazenly negotiating such a deal… was a great insult indeed.
“Mom, can you stop talking?” Wen Moshen could no longer bear to listen and began to stride towards his mother.
Fu Huai’an smiled. “You feel that 100 million can be exchanged for my, Fu Huai’an’s wife? Don’t mention 100 million… In my eyes, even ten Wen Corporations aren’t worth a dime compared to my wife!”
Lin Nuan’s heart skipped a beat. She tightened her grip on Fu Huai’an’s hands, feeling a warm current flowing from her heart to the rest of her body.
Wen Moshen’s mother was stunned upon hearing these words.
Fu Huai’an?
Wen Moshen’s mother found this name particularly familiar to the ears.
Wen Moshen clutched his mother’s arm and apologized to Fu Huai’an, “I’m sorry, my mother went overboard. You leave with Lin Nuan first!”
Wen Moshen then turned to look at Lin Nuan. “I’m sorry, Nuan Nuan!”
Wen Moshen was apologizing on his mother’s behalf, but also for himself.
“Let’s go!” Lin Nuan grabbed Fu Huai’an’s large hand.
Fu Huai’an nodded at Wen Moshen then proceeded to leave with Lin Nuan’s pet.i.te hand in his.
“Fu Huai’an! You’re that maternal grandson of the Fus, Fu Huai’an!” Wen Moshen’s mother pointed a finger at Fu Huai’an. “The Fu Huai’an who almost got engaged to Gu Hanyan!”
He was from the Fus, so it was no wonder he dared to speak so arrogantly!
Fu Huai’an turned around. The moment their gazes met, Wen Moshen’s mother’s heart violently pounded for several beats due to his intimidating aura, which very nearly caused her to become fl.u.s.tered.
After calming herself down, Wen Moshen’s mother tried to play it cool. “You’re but a maternal grandson of the Fus. Who in the circle doesn’t know your grandfather has an illegitimate son and is making plans to hand over the Kaide Corporation to him! Do you think you’ll get to inherit the Kaide Corporation? How dare you still speak so arrogantly?”
In that circle, the Wens were considered wealthy and influential…
No matter where Wen Moshen’s mother went, she was always held in high regard. To hear Fu Huai’an say that the Wen Corporation that she had been proud of all along wasn’t even worth a dime, not even worth a Lin Nuan, how could Wen Moshen’s mother take that lying down?
“Mom!” Wen Moshen gripped his mother’s arm firmly.
There were some things Wen Moshen couldn’t say…
After learning Lin Nuan had gotten together with Fu Huai’an, Wen Moshen had people investigate Fu Huai’an in secret!
Even without the Kaide Corporation, just Fu Huai’an’s personal net worth alone was deemed… a mystery by the media!
Although the information he managed to gather was incomplete, there was no smoke without fire. Some people even claimed… half of Wall Street had landed in Fu Huai’an’s hands.
The corners of Fu Huai’an’s lips turned up, a smile suddenly in his eyes.
Wen Moshen’s mother subconsciously took a step back under the impact behind his deep gaze, accidentally revealing her cowardice in front of Fu Huai’an.
“Sorry!” Wen Moshen apologized again.
After the apology, Wen Moshen directly yanked his mother into the room and closed the door.
“Mom!” Wen Moshen’s voice was weak. “Fu Huai’an’s net worth, even without including the Kaide Corporation, is something our Wen Corporation could never hope to catch up to in this lifetime…”
Wen Moshen’s mother was teary-eyed. “Moshen, Mom is doing this for your sake!”
Wen Moshen’s reddened eyes were bloodshot. He released his mother’s arm, exhausted. “I know, but Mom, Lin Nuan and I have let each other slip by, and it’s an irreversible fact…”
“But I saw you two from outside…” Wen Moshen’s mother pointed at the door, voice choking. “Is Lin Nuan refusing to get together with you because Fu Huai’an is richer than us?”
Wen Moshen didn’t reply to his own mother.
Wen Moshen’s mother grasped his arm. “Do you know why Gu Hanyan refused to get engaged to Fu Huai’an? I’ve been asking around… apparently, Fu Huai’an lived indulgently and ruined his body back in those days, so he’s no longer potent! That’s why…”
“Mom! A girl like Lin Nuan, if she truly fell for someone, would she mind something like this?” Wen Moshen’s voice was feeble.
Wen Moshen’s mother wore a look of disbelief on her face. But once she thought of how Lin Nuan had put herself in danger to look for Wen Moshen in Iraq, Wen Moshen’s mother found herself unable to counter that statement.
“Mom, please stop calling Lin Nuan in the future. I’ve already agreed to receive treatment. If I don’t manage to step off the operating table tomorrow, if…”
