"Ding-dong-"

The alert came from her mail inbox. Lin Nuan put down the water cup, supported himself with his hands, and leaned over to pick up the mobile phone that was still charging from the coffee table. The message came from an unknown number, and she opened the message to read.

"Hey, Nuan Nuan, this is Liu Mingchen's mother. Sorry to bother you, but can you get to the manor entrance? I'll wait for you.

Lin Nuan hurriedly replied. "Of course, Auntie, I'll be there in five minutes."

She unplugged the mobile phone on the charger and informed Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao that she was going out. Then she took her coat and umbrella hanging by the door, put on her shoes, and opened the door.

Before leaving, Song Yao asked her what she wanted to eat at noon, but Lin Nuan didn't hear it. She closed the door and left.

...

Liu Mingchen's mother, Lu Mei, stood next to a black car. She wore a white lab coat with three-sevenths of the sleeves, a red silk V-neck blouse tucked into a knee-length white skirt, and a precious ceramic watch on her wrist. She exudes a dignified and wealthy atmosphere, and seems to be a shrewd and domineering person.

Her driver stood behind her, protecting her with an umbrella.

Seeing Lin Nuan, Lu Mei smiled and looked at her warmly.

Lu Mei said that she had something to discuss with Lin Nuan. Since they were just acquaintances, Lin Nuan couldn't guess what was going on.

They sat down in a secluded café across the street from the estate. Lu Mei ordered a pot of fruit tea, poured some into the cup and gave it to Lin Nuan. She said in a nonchalant tone: "Uncle Liu went to a dinner last night, and I met my mother and the uncle of the director of the Audit Commission having dinner......

At that moment, Lin Nuan was caught by a sharp pain.

Liang Mulan has always lived a comfortable life, so disconnected from political and material pursuits. She rarely attends any dinner parties for social events.

"Almost everyone in Haicheng has heard of what happened to your family," Lu Mei said calmly and amiably, "I know that you may want to help your family, so you went to the son of the deputy director of the Audit Commission." But Nuan Nuan, why do you look for something close at hand from afar?

Lin Nuan was silent and looked at Lu Mei with beautiful and bright eyes. Since Lu Mei brought it up and expressed her intentions, she probably had something else to add. Lin Nuan sat there quietly, waiting for Lu Mei to continue.

"The beginning of this trouble is all because your second uncle chose the wrong side. Mingchen's uncle... He works for the government and does have some say in this matter. Your second uncle can't escape the Scots, but he can help keep your father out of prison.

Under the table, Lin Nuan's hands were clenched.

At that moment, Lu Mei deliberately mentioned Liu Mingchen, and Lin Nuan understood her intentions.

Knowing that Lin Nuan was a smart girl, Lu Mei didn't bother to say anything. "Nuan Nuan, Mingchen hasn't been in love for many years, he only has eyes on you. You should be able to see his sincerity by now...... Uncle Liu and I only have this son. We never thought he would grow big and expand the company. Our only wish is for him to find the love of his life, settle down, start a family, and live happily ever after.

Lu Mei's words and sincere love for her son touched Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan lowered his gaze and fell into deep thought. Lu Mei raised the teacup to her lips, took a sip, and asked, "Has Shi Hanchu, the winner of Best Actor, approached your team?"

As soon as Lu Mei mentioned this sentence, Lin Nuan instantly knew that she must have a hand to approach the team at Shi Hanchu to ask for an interview.

Lin Nuan couldn't understand the Liu family, let alone Lu Mei.

Before the blind date arranged by the elders, the Liu family didn't even appear in Lin Nuan's mind once.

Lin Nuan nodded.

Lu Mei smiled and said, "That's great, if Shi Han first appears on your show, it will improve your career."

Lin Nuan couldn't breathe.

Lu Mei wanted to use two things to seduce her at the same time!

The first is that she can save Lin Jingquan!

The second is Lin Nuan's career.

Lin Nuan didn't care about his career.

However, being able to rescue Lin Jingquan is very important to her.

After giving Lin Nuan a moment to think about it, Lu Mei said, "Nuan Nuan, if you are willing to be with Mingchen, Uncle Liu and I will not turn a blind eye to your family." We will also respect and support your career.

If it weren't for Liu Mingchen and Lin Nuan rushing into it, and becoming so frustrated after she rejected him, she refused to even eat, and Lu Mei wouldn't have talked to Lin Nuan.

Even if Lu Mei likes Lin Nuan and doesn't mind the fact that her birth and biological mother has mental illness, Lin Nuan clearly rejected her son.

Lu Mei understands that love cannot be forced.

However, she couldn't bear to see Liu Mingchen look so depressed, as if the whole world had collapsed.

Lu Mei did choose the right chip - Lin Jingquan.

Staring at Lin Nuan, who was pale and quiet sitting opposite her, Lu Mei felt a little sorry for her.

Lin Nuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, she only felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if there was not enough oxygen around.

Before leaving, Lu Mei stroked Lin Nuan's hand and said amiably: "You don't have to give me an answer now." Think about it, you can give me a call when you're ready. You can also ask Mingchen to go out to the movies, or have dinner together. When we have time, we can arrange the date of the wedding...... Of course, your dad needs to be at the engagement party, right? ”

Lin Nuan walked out of the café and saw that it was raining heavily. She realized she had forgotten to bring her umbrella. She returned to the café, then pulled her coat tighter and rushed across the road in the rain.

Lin Nuan couldn't erase Lu Mei's words from her mind.

There is an easier way to save Lin Jingquan, but at a cost. It's a fair deal.

Lu Mei and Liang Mulan get along very well, and Lin Nuan is sure that Liang Mulan knows Lu Mei's background. But Liang Mulan would rather give up her pride and have a meal with the Audit Commissioner's uncle than ask Lu Mei for help. The reason is very clear to Lin Nuan - Liang Mulan doesn't want to sacrifice Lin Nuan in exchange.

If he was honest with himself, Lin Nuan would never accept Lu Mei's suggestion, unless it was a last resort.

In fact, Lu Mei came to Lin Nuan, which reminded people of when Gu Hanyan came to talk to her. A different approach, but with similar expected results.

Although Lin Nuan had chosen to follow Gu Hanyan's suggestion before, even if the situation stipulated otherwise, she was still hesitant to agree again.

In a hurry, Lin Nuan stepped into a puddle. The icy water seeped into the soles of her shoes, and she stood grounded. The coldness seemed to awaken her senses.

Whether she agrees or not, the key is Fu Huai'an.

At that time, when she promised to do what Gu Hanyan said, she was just looking for an excuse - to end her endless longing for four years.

But all Lin Nuan can think of at this moment is Fu Huai'an, he has won her heart, and it is within reach.

Lin Nuan could no longer make decisions without hesitation as before.

If she had a choice, Lin Nuan would definitely rather owe Fu Huaian a favor.

The rain hit her umbrella mercilessly, and Lin Nuan stood under the umbrella, holding her mobile phone in her hand. She could hear the thumping of her own heartbeat.

Lin Nuan stared at the phone screen, opened the address book, and scrolled to Fu Huai'an's name. Her finger wandered over his name, but she hesitated to make the call.

Bai Xiaonian said that if Lin Nuan cried in front of Fu Huai'an, he would definitely give in and help her.

Lin Nuan was in a dilemma. She wasn't so shameless as to cry and beg for his help, but she had to somehow give it a try.

Lin Nuan mustered all the courage and finally made this call. Even though they weren't completely strangers, she couldn't calmly and calmly ask for his help, taking it for granted that he would agree the moment she asked.

The ringtone on the other end of the phone continued to buzz, and Lin Nuan began to panic. She was losing her courage and was about to end the call, when Fu Huaian picked it up and asked in his deep and deep voice, "Why don't you rest?"

Lin Nuan took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, and said softly: "Uh......" She couldn't help but say it.

"Mr. Fu, it's time..."

She could hear someone calling for Fu Huai'an, and Lin Nuan decided to end the call.

It may not be appropriate to call Fu Huai'an, because he should be busy with work.

"I'll see you downstairs in ten minutes."

She heard Fu Huai'an say to the person on the other end of the phone.

She was touched by his willingness to take a break from work to listen to her.

She had seen the scene countless times in her mind. In the end, Lin Nuan decided to cut to the chase and said, "There is something I need your help with......

She clung to the handle of her umbrella and phone. She lowered her eyes in a panic and stared at the puddle in front of her, fearing that he would reject her.

"Is it about your father?" Fu Huaian asked calmly, seemingly very comfortable, although Lin Nuan was still a little nervous.

"Yes, exactly. Will you help? Lin Nuan was nervous and didn't dare to listen to his answer. Afraid of rejection, she quickly came up with some plausible excuses and said nervously: "If it will affect you and cause you any inconvenience......"

"Lin Nuan!" Fu Huai'an interrupted her and said in a mellow tone without any emotion: "Don't be so polite to me. Lin Nuan pursed her lips, silent, with tears in her eyes.

"I'm on top, don't worry; Your father will be fine.

He used his usual low and deep voice, in a gentle and calm tone, authoritative and convincing.

Lin Nuan choked and held back her tears, and whimpered: "Uh......"

"I'm going to Jincheng this afternoon. Tuan Tuan will return to Tin Fook Bay later. If you're free, why don't you go with him tonight.
