Fu Qingquan held the teacup, frowning as he stared at the steam rising from the cup. He thought for a moment, then shook his head. "There are rumors that Old Master Wang wants Fu Huai 'an to take care of his comatose grandson!"
The Wangs only had one son, and now that he was in a coma, what was the difference between the Wangs and having no descendants?
Just like how Fu Qingquan loved his son, Old Master Wang also loved his grandson. It was just that one of his sons was disappointing, while the other was in a coma. They simply wanted someone to take care of their son.
Secretary Song nodded, understanding Fu Qingquan's concerns.
But who in Haicheng didn't know that Deputy Director Fang had a close relationship with the Wangs?
Old Master Wang was Deputy Director Fang's mentor, but Deputy Director Fang wasn't the smartest and most powerful student of Old Master Wang. Even so, when Deputy Director Fang got into trouble several times, it was Old Master Wang who protected him and helped him get to where he was today.
Secretary Song didn't want to hurt Fu Qingquan's feelings, so he lowered his voice and said, "Then, I'll make an appointment with Deputy Director Fang, but I might not be able to get him. You know that Deputy Director Fang has always had a close relationship with the Wangs."
Fu Qingquan understood what Secretary Song meant. At the thought of this, Fu Qingquan felt very vexed. He covered the teacup and slammed it down on the bedside table. "Where did you hide the cigarettes?"
This was the first time Fu Qingquan, who had quit smoking three months ago, asked Secretary Song for a cigarette. Secretary Song tried to persuade him nicely, saying, "Chairman, your body isn't suited for smoking. If you really want to smoke, I'll get someone to send you an e-cigarette?"
Hearing the word "chairman," Fu Qingquan felt even angrier, his face darkening.
The position of chairman of the Kaide Corporation was now Fu Huai 'an's.
There was a knock on the door. Secretary Song glanced at Fu Qingquan, who was restraining his temper, then quickly walked to the door to open it. He was stunned to see Old Madam Fu and Housekeeper Ye standing outside.
"Old Madam Fu asked Old Sir to bring the soup from home!" Housekeeper Ye's face was full of joy.
There was a saying that one shouldn't hit a smiling person. Old Madam Fu smiled and came with Housekeeper Ye, and they even brought soup. Secretary Song couldn't stop them, so he smiled and nodded, then turned his body to invite them in.
Secretary Song hoped that Old Madam Fu wouldn't cause trouble if she asked them to bring soup for Fu Qingquan!
But Secretary Song was wrong …
It was said that when Old Madam Fu went to Fu Qingquan's ward, there was another commotion. Fu Qingquan almost got physical with Old Madam Fu, and if it wasn't for Housekeeper Ye and Secretary Song stopping them, one of them would have been sent to the emergency room.
…
Today was the first day that Fu Huai 'an had replaced Fu Qingquan as the chairman of the Kaide Corporation.
The program that Fu Tianci was invited to record was also scheduled to be recorded today.
Gu Qingcheng didn't wish to stay in the country for long. Seeing that Fu Huai 'an and Lin Nuan were both starting to get busy, he left Haicheng with Yun Liuli early in the morning.
Lin Nuan had to rush to Jinjiang, so she ate her breakfast in a hurry. After making plans with Fu Huai 'an that she would meet him at the Kaide Corporation for lunch, she grabbed her coat and left the house.
You Nainai had been waiting in the car for a long time. She saw Lin Nuan walking down the stairs wearing only a turtleneck sweater, her coat hanging in the crook of her arm, and a cup of coffee in one hand. She opened the back door for Lin Nuan, but Lin Nuan smiled and walked around the front of the car to get into the front passenger seat.
To Lin Nuan, You Nainai was a friend, not a driver.
Lin Nuan lowered her head and fastened her seatbelt.
Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time. "Recommended reading:"
Lin Nuan passed the sandwiches in a brown paper bag to You Nainai, along with the cup of milk in her hand.
"You rushed over so early in the morning. I don't know if you've eaten breakfast, but you're in a hurry to set off for Jinjiang." Lin Nuan placed the milk on the cup holder.
"I've eaten!" You Nainai smiled at Lin Nuan. "Thank you!"
The car started moving, and Lin Nuan's phone vibrated. Lin Nuan leaned slightly toward the driver's seat and took out her phone from her pocket to take a look. It was a message from Fu Tianci, telling Lin Nuan that he had already set off and wouldn't be late.
Lin Nuan replied to Fu Tianci with a smiley face, then casually opened the news app to flip through the day's news.
The news headlines were almost all about Fu Huai 'an becoming the chairman of the Kaide Corporation. Lin Nuan skimmed through the headlines and didn't click on it.
The car drove out of the black iron gates. Lin Nuan raised her head and accidentally saw a thin figure standing next to a Chinese parasol tree. That person was wearing a black hoodie and had a large hoodie on his head. He had a thin figure.
This was the Fu residence's private residential area, so it was unlikely that anyone would come here. Lin Nuan couldn't help but pay attention to him.
Just as the car carrying Lin Nuan brushed past that figure, that person looked into the car …
Their gazes met, and Lin Nuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Nainai, stop the car!" Lin Nuan held onto her seatbelt with one hand and supported herself against the dashboard of the front passenger seat with the other. She turned her head and craned her neck to look behind her.
You Nainai was startled by Lin Nuan's sudden shout and stepped on the brakes.
Lin Nuan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car without even putting on her jacket. She looked at that black figure with a pale face.
The snow under the Chinese parasol tree had yet to melt, and there was a pile of snow at the roots of the tree that had been swept to the sides of the road. There were traces of muddy water on the snow, and the man's black military boots stepped on it. He heard the intense sound of the car braking and turned around.
Lin Nuan's hands, which were hanging by her side, involuntarily gripped her sweater tightly. She gritted her teeth and looked at that man. Perhaps it was because it was too cold outside and she was only wearing a sweater, but her back was stiff and slightly shivering.
The man raised his hand and removed the hoodie on his head, then looked at Lin Nuan.
He and Lin Nuan were acquaintances. They had met in Iraq and in Dubai!
In fact, if it wasn't for saving him, Lin Nuan wouldn't have been abducted in Venice.
Qin Zhe's lips quivered. He looked even thinner than when he was in Dubai. His cheekbones were prominent, and the sides of his cheeks were sunken in. His eyes were bloodshot, and the rims of his eyes were also bloodshot.
Seeing the color drain from Lin Nuan's face and the fury in her eyes, Qin Zhe's Adam's apple moved slightly. He couldn't bring himself to call her "sister-in-law".
Qin Zhe already knew about what had happened to Lin Nuan because of him in Venice. He was very apologetic towards Lin Nuan.
You Nainai got out of the car and saw Qin Zhe. She was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Qin … Qin Zhe?"
"What are you doing here again?" Lin Nuan's voice trembled uncontrollably. Her fists were clenched tightly, and her heart was beating so intensely that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Qin Zhe's gaze looked toward You Nainai, then landed on Lin Nuan. He saw that Lin Nuan was trying her best to hold back a certain emotion, and all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Lin Nuan gritted her teeth and walked toward Qin Zhe, feeling a layer of goosebumps on her arms. She lowered her voice and held back her emotions as she asked, "Are you here to look for Huai 'an?"
"I …" Qin Zhe wanted to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to say it in the end. He could only nod.
