However, Lin Nuan didn't think that she couldn't win against Fu Huai 'an in terms of eloquence. She felt that her skin wasn't as thick as Fu Huai' an's! Even ten of her wouldn't be a match for one Fu Huai 'an!
Therefore, Lin Nuan admitted defeat!
Fu Huai 'an was in a great mood as he watched his wife's face and neck turn red. He felt even better than when he saw Fu Qingquan's livid countenance after he shirked his responsibilities. Their gazes met.
Lin Nuan was about to say something when she heard the microphone ring. The engagement ceremony had begun.
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an didn't go near. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched as the others gathered at the staircase …
Fu Qingquan invited Jincheng TV Station's famous host, Cui Jianning, to host the engagement ceremony. Cui Jianning stood in front of the microphone and used a few humorous words to gather the crowd at the staircase.
Today was the first time Lin Nuan and Fu Huai 'an were seeing the Mu family's daughter, Mu Mantong.
Mu Mantong sat in her wheelchair, her hands placed on her legs in an orderly manner. She smiled at everyone. Even when others looked at her with judgmental gazes, or even when some of them brazenly sized up Mu Mantong's legs, she still wore a sweet smile on her face. There were sweet dimples on both sides of her fair cheeks.
Unlike Fu Tianci's tense expression, Mu Mantong didn't seem to be averse to this engagement. In fact … she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"That face of hers is deceiving enough! Those who don't know might really think that she's a rich young mistress who doesn't know the ways of the world! Tsk tsk tsk … it's such a pity that she didn't enter the film industry! "
Hearing that, Lin Nuan looked up and saw Su Manman sitting down next to her.
Beauty Su was still as charming and aloof as ever. Her words were filled with sarcasm toward Mu Mantong, but her smile toward Lin Nuan was very friendly.
"Previously, I asked you to help me film a scene. I didn't expect you to do it so well. You're almost in the limelight!" Su Manman didn't sound sour at all. She could tell that she was truly happy, and her eyes were smiling.
Lin Nuan's performance had indeed taken Su Manman by surprise.
She revealed a piece of news to Lin Nuan. "I heard that Shu Xin has already lowered her head to Director Chen and wants to meet you!"
This surprised Lin Nuan. After all, Shu Xin didn't think well of her previously and even posted that kind of Weibo post.
"Why are you putting on such a conflicted expression?" Su Manman casually placed her wine glass on the coffee table. "If you don't want to see me, then so be it! She was so against you before, so meeting her is giving her face. Not meeting her is also reasonable. Who asked her to put on airs and speak so confidently? "
Lin Nuan smiled at Su Manman and spoke in a tone as if she were talking to someone she knew. "I'm not you. Where do you get your confidence from?"
Su Manman didn't defend herself. This was a problem with her character.
Su Manman glanced at Fu Huai 'an, then expressed her loyalty to Fu Huai' an. "Grandpa's son is getting engaged. Because of Grandpa, my grandpa and parents have no choice but to come. But since our family has a representative, I'm here to represent them. I don't have any other intentions."
Fu Huai 'an nodded.
Su Manman picked up the cake that Lin Nuan hadn't had the chance to eat. She pinched it with her hand and sent it into her mouth, her gaze sweeping over the luxurious interior that resembled a castle. She sighed. "I didn't expect Grandpa to be willing to spend so much on this illegitimate son. It's no wonder Grandpa is angry."
Su Manman's status was special, so she arrived late. She went upstairs after greeting Fu Qingquan, only coming down to look for Lin Nuan when the engagement ceremony started.
It wasn't appropriate for Lin Nuan to comment on the Fu family's matters, so she smiled and didn't say a word.
In the distance, Fu Tianci's mother, Lu Qingmei, was holding a microphone and talking about how much she liked Mu Mantong … and how she hoped that Mu Mantong and Fu Tianci would get married soon.
Su Manman didn't have any feelings for Fu Tianci, but she hated Lu Qingmei a lot.
She was someone else's mistress, yet she acted so arrogantly, even putting on airs as the legal wife. Su Manman just couldn't take a liking to her …
"Is Grandpa really going to divorce Grandpa and be with that woman?" Su Manman asked Fu Huai 'an.
Fu Huai 'an was already displeased that Su Manman's sudden appearance had interrupted his time alone with Lin Nuan. He said in a neutral tone, "Who knows!"
"I received news that someone will expose the news that Fu Tianci is an illegitimate son in the wee hours of the morning." Su Manman drew a tissue and wiped her mouth. "You'd better inform Grandpa about this in advance. Otherwise, Grandpa will pin the blame on you."
Su Manman then got up and said, "I'll be leaving first. I still have a date!"
As she spoke, Su Manman put on her cap and strode towards the red sports car outside the parking lot with her long and slender legs.
Fu Huai 'an didn't plan on staying long at the engagement ceremony. After Fu Qingquan brought Mu Mantong and Fu Tianci out, Fu Huai' an carried Tuan Tuan and held Lin Nuan's hand as they walked out of the hall.
"Fu Huai 'an!"
The family of three had just walked out of the hall when they heard Fu Tianci's shout.
Fu Tianci, who was dressed in a white suit, turned and ran in Fu Huai 'an's direction. He stopped in front of the family of three, panting as he said, "I have something to say to you!"
"I'll bring Tuan Tuan to the car first!" Lin Nuan wanted to take Tuan Tuan from Fu Huai 'an's arms.
Fu Huai 'an avoided Lin Nuan's hand and placed Tuan Tuan on the ground. He bent over and said to Tuan Tuan, "Mama's wearing high heels, and it's inconvenient for her to walk on the cobblestone road. Hold Mama's hand properly, okay?"
Tuan Tuan nodded his head vigorously and patted his little chest. He said three words in his childish voice, "A man!"
Fu Huai 'an stroked Tuan Tuan's little head and nodded. "En! Man! "
Standing up, Fu Huai 'an removed his suit jacket and handed it to Lin Nuan. "Put it on! The car keys are in the pocket! "
Lin Nuan nodded.
Tuan Tuan, who had received Fu Huai 'an's "imperial edict," held Lin Nuan's hand and cautiously "helped" her to the car.
Lin Nuan took out the car keys from Fu Huai 'an's suit pocket and opened the car door. She sat in the backseat with Tuan Tuan, leaving the car door wide open.
…
The night breeze was slightly chilly, and even Fu Tianci felt a little cold despite wearing a suit jacket, let alone Fu Huai 'an, who was only wearing a slim-fitting shirt. A gust of wind could blow through Fu Huai' an.
Fu Tianci saw that Fu Huai 'an's figure was tall and straight, without a hint of coldness, so he felt that his worries were unnecessary. After a long while, he said, "My mom came to talk to me today. Actually, the reason she brought my dad along is to get the Kaide Corporation!"
Fu Huai 'an wasn't surprised that this was within his expectations, but he was surprised that Fu Tianci would tell him.
Gazing at Fu Huai 'an's deep, unreadable eyes under his arched brows, Fu Tianci suddenly felt especially uncertain, his heart thumping wildly.
