Lin Nuan didn't tell Old Madam that she wasn't planning to enter the entertainment industry.
Lin Nuan stared at the steam rising from the cup in her hand and waited for Old Madam Fu to finish speaking.
"I know I've wronged you by saying all this …" Old Madam Fu maintained the amiable smile that an elder should have. She took out a file from her designer bag and gently placed it on the table, pushing it toward Lin Nuan. "Here … are all the real estate under my name and the shares of the Kaide Corporation under my name!"
Lin Nuan looked up from the file and at the smiling Old Madam Fu.
"I've already signed these transfer documents. As long as you and Huai 'an haven't divorced, these are all yours. Of course, if one day your relationship breaks down and you end up divorcing, you can take away a quarter of them. If you have children, you can take away half …"
Was this … Old Madam Fu's compensation to Lin Nuan?
Lin Nuan wanted to speak, but she didn't know how to address Old Madam Fu. Calling her Grandma would sound too intimate and attentive. Should she call her Old Madam Fu?
While Lin Nuan was hesitating, Old Madam Fu spoke again …
"Of course, you can get these, but it's not without conditions. I've done some research … your biological mother became ill when she was 27 years old. You can only have children with Huai 'an if there are no signs of illness when you're 30 years old. This isn't just for Huai' an and Tuan Tuan, it's also for you … You don't want your child to become mentally ill, right?"
Old Madam Fu took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Nuan's gradually paling face. "If your illness acts up, naturally … no matter what Huai 'an decides in the end, even if he divorces you and marries someone else, I'll get someone to take care of you for the rest of your life. I won't send you to a place like a mental hospital!"
All these seemed to be favorable conditions for Lin Nuan.
Except for one, they could not announce their marriage and keep it a secret.
Although Lin Nuan had planned to keep their marriage a secret, it was her own decision. She did it because her heart ached for Fu Huai 'an and she was afraid that he would become a topic of gossip.
But when these words came out of the Old Lady's mouth, it was extremely hurtful.
Lin Nuan picked up the teacup with her clean and slender fingers and took a sip. It was still warm, and her fingernails were neatly trimmed. They weren't painted, and they were long and slender.
"Then, by not announcing the marriage, the Chu family can continue to support Huai 'an, and then what? Getting Huai 'an and Chu Xun to frequently go to various places and pretend to be engaged? Does Chu Xun know about your plan? Did Huai 'an know? Will they be willing?! "
Lin Nuan was very polite to her elders …
Actually, it conveyed one thing: Old Madam Fu had acted on her own and did not seek the opinions of the people involved.
Old Madam Fu knew that Lin Nuan was a smart girl and wouldn't throw a tantrum at her like a shrew. She also wouldn't fly into a rage and get caught red-handed.
She smiled faintly and said, "Huai 'an doesn't have to go out with anyone. What I want … is to maintain the status quo."
Old Madam Fu knew Fu Huai 'an's character very well. If she were to tell Fu Huai' an these words, or if she were to ask Fu Huai 'an to go out with Chu Xun, he would probably push Fu Huai' an away.
As a grandmother who had appeared out of nowhere, she wasn't that confident in her relationship with Fu Huai 'an. She was so confident that Fu Huai' an would listen to everything she said, so she chose to look for Lin Nuan.
At least, from Old Madam Fu's point of view, as long as they didn't announce their marriage, Lin Nuan would be able to get so much money. It was undoubtedly a good deal for Lin Nuan.
In this lifetime, Old Madam Fu would definitely be unable to give all her hard work to that illegitimate son. Even if she were to donate all of it, even if she were to give it all to her adopted son, Fu Cheng!
Of course, regardless of whether she donated it or gave it to Fu Cheng, it wouldn't be as good as giving it to her blood-related grandson, Fu Huai 'an.
All these years, Fu Huai 'an had done a lot for the Kaide Corporation. If it weren't for Fu Huai' an, after Fu Cheng got into trouble back then, the Kaide Corporation would probably not be able to recover from the setback. How would it have the glory it had today?
Now that the Kaide Corporation was getting better and better, the old man wanted to kick Fu Huai 'an aside and give the entire corporation to his illegitimate son. What kind of joke was this?
Therefore, Old Madam Fu was going to fight for Fu Huai 'an with her life.
On this path of fighting for the Kaide Corporation, Old Madam Fu wouldn't allow any obstacles to appear.
Lin Nuan didn't say anything.
Old Madam Fu pointed at the file and smiled. "Look, as long as we maintain the status quo and don't announce our marriage, you'll be able to get all this. To you … isn't this a good deal?"
"Old Madam Fu, I respect you as an elder. Perhaps other people's marriages can be bought and sold, but mine won't!" Lin Nuan had emotions in her heart, but she suppressed them and said politely, "To tell you the truth, before you came to look for me, I already mentioned to Huai 'an about the secret marriage. It's not because of anything else, it's because my heart aches for Huai' an. I don't want him to end up like me in the past, becoming the topic of gossip! I don't want others to mock his wife behind his back for having a crazy mother and saying that his wife might go crazy one day … "
Old Madam Fu gazed at Lin Nuan and smiled. "That's good. Then, take these as my gifts to you …"
Lin Nuan shook her head. "I'm willing to do anything for Fu Huai 'an. I don't need gifts, and this isn't business."
Old Madam Fu was a little surprised that Lin Nuan didn't want to accept her private assets.
Since Lin Nuan had already decided to keep the marriage a secret, why didn't she go along with Old Madam Fu's wishes and accept these assets?
Pretending to be virtuous?
Old Madam Fu felt that Lin Nuan was still too young …
"Open it first and take a look at the contents, then consider if you want to reject it!"
Lin Nuan didn't move. She opened her mouth slightly and heard Old Madam Fu say, "After you read it, if you still want to reject it, then I won't force you."
Old Madam Fu had been around the world for many years, so she knew the principle of money moving people's hearts …
She had always felt that people who weren't moved by money were simply not tempted enough.
And all the assets under Old Madam Fu's name was something that the entire Lin family and the Lin family combined couldn't compare to. Old Madam Fu believed that not many people could remain indifferent when they saw this private assets.
Lin Nuan hesitated for a moment, then took the file and opened it …
The file was thick and heavy. Lin Nuan walked around the rope and took out the file. She then put the file aside and skimmed through it. One could only describe how she felt at that moment as thrilling.
