Lin Nuan didn't find it so hard to accept this coming from Lu Hanzi.
By the time Lin Nuan left Lu Hanzi's place, it was already dark and the wind was chilly. She hailed a cab and headed back.
Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Lin Nuan turned her head sideways to look at the bright lights outside the car window. Her mind was filled with the last sentence Lu Hanzi had said to her in a seemingly nonchalant manner before she left.
She said, "Nuan Nuan, those who have loved can't stand a dull marriage …"
When the phone in her bag rang for the second time, Lin Nuan picked it up after the driver's reminder.
"Dad …" Lin Nuan pulled herself together and called out to Lin Jingquan.
"Nuan Nuan, come home now!"
Lin Jingquan's deep voice was solemn.
Lin Nuan pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"Ran Ran is here too. Both your brother and she know I'm calling for you. Don't delay … come back now, I have something to tell you."
From Lin Jingquan's voice, Lin Nuan could tell the severity of the situation.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Nuan said, "Got it, Dad. I'm coming now …"
After hanging up, Lin Nuan gave the driver the address again.
At the crossroads, the driver turned the car around and drove to the Lin house.
…
When Lin Nuan arrived, only Lin Jingquan, Liang Mulan, and Lin Ran were sitting in the living room with a solemn expression.
She grabbed her bag, changed her shoes, and walked in from the entryway. She didn't say anything.
Liang Mulan waved at Lin Nuan. "Come and sit …"
Lin Jingquan glanced at his watch and put out his cigarette. "Don't wait for your brother. Come and sit, I'll tell you guys first."
The solemn atmosphere in the Lin house made Lin Nuan's heart heavy. She sat opposite Lin Ran, and her palms were covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Lin Jingquan took out four folders with Liang Mulan, Lin Chen, Lin Ran, and Lin Nuan's names on them.
"I won't tell you the details. Your second uncle is being investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and I'll probably be taken away by the Audit Bureau soon. These are the bonds I have, as well as the money I transferred to an overseas account after selling my real estate. I've divided it into four portions, one for your mother, one for your brother, and one for each of you!"
Lin Jingquan handed the information bags with Lin Ran and Lin Nuan's names on them to each of them.
"Dad …" Lin Nuan didn't reach out to take it. "Is it serious?"
It was so serious that Lin Jingquan looked like he was making arrangements for his funeral?!
Lin Nuan wasn't a three-year-old child. She knew that Second Uncle Lin Jinghui, who was the secretary of a high-ranking official, had played a huge role in the Lin Family's success. Lin Nuan wouldn't believe that there weren't some shady dealings involved.
Lin Nuan looked at Liang Mulan. Liang Mulan, who had been sitting quietly at the side, seemed to have cried. Her eyes were red, and she adjusted her shawl. She looked like she had aged a lot overnight, and she looked very listless.
"This isn't something for a kid like you to worry about." Lin Jingquan said with a straight face, then continued, "I've already made arrangements to send your mom and Ran Ran overseas tonight. I called you here today to ask you … if you're willing to go overseas with your mom? Time is tight, so you might not have time to bid farewell to your friends, but I've made arrangements overseas. If anything happens, Ran Ran, you … and your mother's lives will definitely be guaranteed! If there's nothing wrong, I'll bring you back. "
The more Lin Jingquan spoke, the more Lin Nuan's heart sank.
