Words:892Update:22/06/20 06:39:48
Lu Mei and Liang Mulan had a good relationship, so Liang Mulan would definitely know more about Lu Mei's family background than Lin Nuan. So why would Liang Mulan put down her pride to have a meal with the uncle of the director of the Audit Bureau instead of begging Lu Mei? Lin Nuan thought about it carefully and understood that Liang Mulan probably wouldn't want to use Lin Nuan in exchange.
Frankly speaking, Lin Nuan wouldn't take the shortcut Lu Mei gave her unless she had no other choice.
Actually, the current situation of Lu Mei looking for Lin Nuan was similar to the situation when Gu Hanyan looked for her back then. Although the reason was different … it was similar.
But back then, Lin Nuan chose the path Gu Hanyan pointed out, and now she was hesitating at the most crucial moment.
Lin Nuan was in a hurry and stepped into a small puddle. The cold water poured into the soles of her shoes, and Lin Nuan shivered and stood on the spot. The coldness … made Lin Nuan's mind clear.
Between agreeing and not agreeing, there was Fu Huai 'an.
Maybe it was because back then, Lin Nuan was just like what she said to Gu Hanyan — she just wanted to find an excuse to end the four years of waiting.
But now, Fu Huai 'an occupied Lin Nuan's heart, and he was right beside her.
Lin Nuan couldn't agree to it without hesitation like she did in the past.
If she had a choice, Lin Nuan would probably … rather bow down to Fu Huai 'an.
Lin Nuan stood under the umbrella, clutching her phone tightly. She could hear the thumping of her heart beside her ears.
Staring at the phone screen, Lin Nuan opened her contacts and scrolled to Fu Huai 'an's name … Her finger pressed on it, but she hesitated when she let go of the call.
Bai Xiaonian said to let Lin Nuan cry to Fu Huai 'an, and Fu Huai' an's heart softened and would definitely help her.
She had a headache and cried to Fu Huai 'an … Lin Nuan knew she couldn't be thick-skinned enough to do that.
But she had to give it a try.
Lin Nuan used up almost all the courage she had in her life to make the call. Although she wasn't completely unrelated to Fu Huai 'an, she couldn't bring herself to ask Fu Huai' an for help in a righteous manner.
The phone beeped for a few seconds, and Lin Nuan panicked a little. The courage she had just mustered dropped in a straight line. Just as she was about to hang up, the call connected and Fu Huai 'an's magnetic and mature voice poured into her ears. "Why didn't you catch up on sleep?"
Lin Nuan subconsciously took a deep breath and lowered her gaze. She found it hard to speak, so she softly agreed.
"President Fu, time's up …"
Lin Nuan was about to hang up when she heard someone calling out to Fu Huai 'an.
Calling Fu Huai 'an at this time would probably disturb his work.
"Wait for me downstairs in ten minutes."
These words were said by Fu Huai 'an to someone else.
She was touched that he was willing to put down his work and wait for her to speak.
Lin Nuan decided to go straight to the point. "There's something I need your help with …"
She gripped the handle of the umbrella and the phone tightly, feeling flustered. She lowered her eyes and stared at the puddle in front of her, worried that she would be rejected.
"Your father's matter?" Fu Huai 'an's voice was calm and didn't sound pressured, but it made Lin Nuan feel uneasy.
"Hmm, can I?" After Lin Nuan finished speaking, she didn't dare to wait for Fu Huai 'an to reply personally. She quickly found an excuse for Fu Huai' an to reject her, so she inevitably sounded flustered. "If it affects you and makes things difficult for you …"
