Lin Nuan was caught off guard and got a shock from Su Manman.
"Man Man! What are you talking about?! " Su Manman's grandmother smiled and chided Lin Nuan. Her eyes stared at the fair and slender Lin Nuan, and she couldn't help but like her. "Thankfully, we're at your grandmother's place. You're too unruly. Look at how frightened Huai 'an's wife is!"
Su Manman didn't mind her old lady's reprimand at all. She wrapped her arms around Lin Nuan's neck and said to Lin Nuan, "My grandma is a fan of yours. She likes to watch your shows at home when she's free!"
Lin Nuan looked in Su Manman's grandmother's direction. "Hello, Grandma …"
"Good, good, good!" Su Manman's grandmother nodded repeatedly, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.
Knowing about Lin Nuan's past, Su Manman's grandmother was full of admiration for this young lady's courage to go to Iraq to look for someone. She didn't care whether Lin Nuan went to look for Fu Huai 'an or Wen Moshen. This courage was enough to make her envious for a long time.
"This is Second Madam!" Fu Huai 'an introduced Lin Nuan to Su Manman's grandmother, grandfather, and parents.
Lin Nuan had exquisite looks and was dressed in a dignified and appropriate manner. She had two dimples at the corners of her lips, and when she smiled, she looked sweet. Her voice was also mellow and clean, giving off a sense of clarity that made one feel comfortable. She was well-liked by the elders.
Moreover, all the elders present, regardless of whether they liked Lin Nuan or not, knew how much Fu Huai 'an doted on Lin Nuan …
Back then, when the online criticism of Lin Nuan was at its peak, Fu Huai 'an stood up for his wife without hesitation. Old antiques like them all knew about this!
Given how much Fu Huai 'an doted on Lin Nuan, even if they didn't like her, they couldn't make it too obvious.
Even Fu Qinghe, who had always felt that Fu Huai 'an was a coward, choosing to retire from the military to become a lawyer and then a businessman, changed his opinion of Fu Huai' an when Fu Huai 'an stood out to protect Lin Nuan. He felt that for Fu Huai' an to stand out to protect his wife, he could be considered a man.
Fu Cheng's two children leaned against Old Madam Fu, blinking their big eyes at Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan …
"Huai 'an!" Fu Cheng greeted Fu Huai' an.
Fu Huai 'an had one hand on Lin Nuan's slender waist. He nodded at Fu Cheng and introduced him to Lin Nuan. "Fu Cheng …"
"Hello!" Lin Nuan nodded.
Fu Cheng smiled at Lin Nuan, not minding that Fu Huai 'an didn't address him as Uncle according to seniority.
Fu Cheng was very clear about his position in the Fu family. This so-called 'uncle' of his did not have any blood relations with the Fu family in the first place, so it was not that legitimate.
"Grandma, is this uncle also part of our family?" Fu Xinxin turned her head and asked Old Madam Fu innocently.
Uncle?!
Old Madam Fu looked at Fu Huai 'an, who was helping Lin Nuan sit down. She realized that according to seniority, Fu Huai' an had to address Fu Cheng as Uncle, and Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming should also address Fu Huai 'an as Big Brother.
It was just that from the very beginning when Fu Huai 'an and Fu Cheng met, Fu Huai' an had been calling Fu Cheng by his name. At that time, no one felt that there was anything wrong with it, and no one corrected him!
Now that the child had suddenly called Fu Huai 'an "Uncle" like a child, Old Madam Fu realized that the way she addressed him seemed a little inappropriate.
Su Manman raised her eyebrows and looked at the innocent young lady before looking at Fu Cheng …
She didn't know if Fu Cheng had taught her that or if the young lady was really naive.
"Everyone at the Fu family mansion today is family …" Fu Cheng smiled as he explained to his daughter. He then added, "Go and see if the soup Mama prepared for Grandma and Grandpa is ready, okay?"
Hearing their father's instructions, the two children happily responded, then ran out of the living room while holding hands.
"Housekeeper Ye, is dinner ready?" In order to avoid awkwardness, Fu Qingquan turned to look at Housekeeper Ye and asked, acting like the head of the family.
"The head chef will need another 20 minutes," Housekeeper Ye replied.
"There's no hurry, Big Brother. It's been a long time since we've been able to sit together and chat as a family …" Su Manman's grandfather, Fu Qingshui, put down the teacup in his hands and smiled. He looked at Fu Huai 'an and asked in a genial tone, "Huai' an, there have been rumors going around that you're leaving the Kaide Corporation. What's going on? The stock price has been dropping because of this … "
Fu Qingshui also had Kaide Corporation shares in his hands, so he was naturally concerned. He didn't wait for Fu Qingquan to speak and asked about Fu Huai 'an's situation first.
Fu Qingquan picked up his teacup and pretended to blow at it nonchalantly, but he was looking in Fu Huai 'an's direction out of the corner of his eye.
Fu Huai 'an took the teacup from the servant's hands and glanced at it. It was longan and red date tea.
Fu Huai 'an placed the tea beside Lin Nuan's hand before saying, "Didn't Fu Cheng hold a press conference?"
"But how can Fu Cheng's press conference be as convincing as your personal explanation? Not to mention that Lu Jinnan posted Tang Xi's handwritten invitation on Weibo. A few days ago, you and Lu Jinnan even personally went to Jincheng to meet Tang Xi …" Fu Qingquan said as he took a sip of tea.
Old Madam Fu's heart was on edge when it came to the Kaide Corporation. She didn't say anything and looked at Fu Huai 'an …
From the bottom of her heart, Old Madam Fu still didn't wish to see the Kaide Corporation collapse. She also hoped that Fu Huai 'an could personally explain and stabilize the Kaide Corporation's shares before anything else.
Fu Huai 'an raised his deep and calm eyes and met Fu Qingquan's gaze. The bright chandelier in the living room made Fu Huai' an's facial features appear even more masculine and imposing.
"If I stand out and personally explain after Fu Cheng holds a press conference, is this to tell the media that I can't wait to compete with Fu Cheng for the position of the Kaide Corporation's successor, or to tell the media that what Fu Cheng said at the press conference doesn't represent the Kaide Corporation?" Fu Huai 'an's voice was low and magnetic.
Fu Qingquan choked upon hearing Fu Huai 'an's words.
"Back then, we should have directly let Huai 'an hold a press conference!" Fu Qingshui said to his older brother, "Brother, you directly let Fu Cheng hold a press conference. Fu Cheng is your adopted son, so it's inevitable that others will speculate about the position of the Kaide Corporation's president. This will make things even worse!"
Fu Cheng's brows furrowed, and his elegant and handsome face looked apologetic, as if he had suddenly realized something. "This is my fault, I was the one who came up with the idea! Back then, I couldn't get in touch with Huai 'an. I thought that no matter what, Huai' an was family and wouldn't really go to the Jiahe Corporation, so I made the decision to hold a press conference on my own. I didn't think that far ahead, it's my fault! "
"This isn't your fault. You did it for the good of the corporation, I know that …" Fu Qingquan consoled Fu Cheng.
Su Manman, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Fu Cheng and rolled her eyes in her heart.
In the past, Su Manman had always disliked Fu Cheng, always feeling that he was a little overboard with his pretense.
