Chapter 144
Lin Nuan opened the lid of the cup, took a sip of water, and nodded. "They're really going to fight!"
As he spoke, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. She put the lid back on the cup, took out her phone and looked at it......
It was Lu Jinnan who called!
She answered the phone, and Lu Jinnan's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm right across the street from the Broadcasting Building, can you come here?"
It doesn't matter if she doesn't like Lu Jinnan, since he wants to find her, it must have something to do with Fu Huai'an.
More and more people began to pour out of the conference room, and Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian blocked the way.
Bai Xiaonian was looking at Lin Nuan, curiously wondering what was going on. Lin Nuan shook his head, pushed the cup to Bai Xiaonian, and walked to the corner to continue the conversation. "Mr. Lu, can't you tell me on the phone?"
"If this is something I can tell you over the phone, will I bother to drive all the way?" Lu Jinnan snapped loudly, unconcealing his disdain and disgust for Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan paused and said, "There is a café at the intersection of the broadcast building and Wanshou Road West Road. Mr. Lu, you can wait for me there. I'll be there soon.
"Good!"
...
Two people who hate each other are going to meet in a café.
Lin Nuan left the broadcasting building. Upon arrival, she folded her umbrella and placed it on the umbrella stand outside the café door. With her phone in hand, she pushed open the door and walked in.
Just as she was standing at the door and glancing at Lu Jinnan, his gaze met hers. He beckoned to her, smiling knowingly as she walked towards him.
On the table opposite Lu Jinnan was a cup of steaming black coffee. Lin Nuan felt that Lu Jinnan was probably planning to have a friendly conversation with her. She sat down and put her bag next to her.
As they sat in the smoking area by the coffee window, Lin Nuan could clearly see the storm brewing outside.
She rests her phone lightly on her lap and holds her coffee cup in one hand. "Can I know why Mr. Lu wants to talk to me?" She asked politely.
Lu Jinnan did not answer. He tapped the ash of his cigarette and stared intently at the young lady sitting in front of him, in white smoke from head to toe.
She was young, childlike with a touch of sophistication. She's not a stunning beauty, but her looks are easy to turn heads. Her facial features are very delicate and beautiful, and she is extraordinarily fair-skinned. Her eyes are clear and seductive.
According to his usual practice, Lu Jinnan would estimate Lin Nuan's worth before making a move. He pulled a checkbook and a pen out of his suit pocket. "Lin Nuan, I won't beat around the bush and go straight to the point. We all know Fu likes you, tell me your price... As long as it's not too much, I'll give it to you!
Lin Nuan glanced at the checkbook in Lu Jinnan's hand. Her thoughts stopped spinning for a while, and she looked at Lu Jinnan. "You're... Do you want me to leave Fu Huai'an?
What the hell is this?
She remembers seeing such a scene in a TV series, where the male protagonist's mother would approach the female protagonist in private and give her a sum of money if she was willing to leave her son.
Bai Xiaonian even once joked that if this happened to her one day, she would definitely ask for a high amount of money, take a check, and live a carefree life. She will not be as stupid as the heroine, refuse the offer and suffer for a man.
However, it was not Bai Xiaonian who got this proposal, but Lin Nuan.
What made Lin Nuan feel strange was the person who made this proposal!
Who does Lu Jinnan think he is, and is he qualified to make this proposal? He's just a friend! It's too much!
Is it possible ... Lu Jinnan fell in love with Fu Huai'an?
Lu Jinnan put down his pen and took a puff of his cigarette. "I asked the opposite. I'm not going to stab my friend in the back! Lin Nuan, I hope you stay by Fu's side and be his woman. But that's all, only his woman, that's all...... Do you understand what I mean?
Her phone vibrate. Lin Nuan glanced at it and ended Bai Xiaonian's call. She lowered her head and sent a message to Bai Xiaonian, asking her not to wait for her. Then she raised her head and stared at Lu Jinnan with dark eyes......
Lu Jinnan was in the teahouse just now, and he had been listening outside the house. He remembered Chu Xun's father yelling at Fu Huai'an, and remembered what he said. Lu Jinnan's heart hardened, and he said: "Mr. Fu has gone through a lot to get to where he is today. I can't sit idly by and watch him leave the future behind. You should know who Chu Xun is, the president of Haicheng TV. Fu needs help from his family......"
Staring at Lu Jinnan talking, Lin Nuan thought of the conversation between Chu Xun and Fu Huai'an last night......
Lu Jinnan was sure that Lin Nuan would stay by Fu Huai'an's side. After saving her father... As long as Lin Nuan has a little conscience and shame, she will be with Fu Huai'an!
Moreover, as an outsider, he can see very clearly that Lin Nuan has feelings for Fu Huai'an!
His words were to dispel any thoughts that Lin Nuan might want to further develop and Fu Huai'an's relationship!
"You've seen Fu Tianci before, the illegitimate son of Old Fu's maternal grandfather. His fiancée is the only daughter of the Pengcheng Mu family! Lu Jinnan said, took a long puff of cigarette, and laughed humorously. If the other half of the old man is a woman with a mentally ill mother, who do you think the old guys on CapitaLand's board of directors will support? ”
"Now that we've analyzed the pros and cons, let's talk about the old man's feelings!"
Lu Jinnan smiled slightly, took out his mobile phone, clicked on a photo, and then handed the mobile phone to Lin Nuan.
To her surprise, Lin Nuan recognized the person in the photo - it was Lu Xiangsi!
Sister Xiangsi, who took special care of Lin Nuan in Iraq before!
Lin Nuan was silent, looking up at Lu Jinnan, waiting for him to continue.
Lu Jinnan said that the planning for the future is likely to be Fu Huai'an getting Kaide Company.
Lin Nuan already knew a little about Fu Huai'an's background and his embarrassing position in the Fu family.
Lin Nuan also guessed that although it was easy for Fu Huaian to take over the company at first, the situation had changed after Fu Tianci appeared.
And this change in his status may have made it extremely difficult for him to do corporate affairs. At this point in time, the forces behind the alliance through marriage are quite important.
"The old man likes you, so I hope you can stay by his side. But don't you dare to hope for further? The old man's wife can only be Chu Xun! The answer is yes ... I won't let you stay with the old man for nothing. I pay you every year, I pay the deposit upfront! If the old man loses interest in you at any time, you can still keep the money. It should be worth it for you!
After Lin Nuan listened to Lu Jinnan's entire speech, her expression became gloomy. She especially wanted to tell Lu Jinnan directly that she had married Fu Huai'an, so as to slap him.
Lu Jinnan's expression was very serious, and there was no trace of him joking with Lin Nuan.
Lu Jinnan said such things to Lin Nuan today, Fu Huaian must not have told his friends about their marriage. Since Lu Jinnan is Fu Huai'an's friend, Lin Nuan doesn't want to cross the line and talk too much.
"Mr. Lu, is the purpose of your speech today for me to spill coffee on you and give you a slap?"
Lin Nuan spoke in a controlled voice, but the slightly heavy rise and fall of her chest exposed the turmoil in her heart.
"If you stay with Lao Fu, even if you don't have a proper identity around you, you won't be abused. Like what happened in your house last time, if it weren't for the old man...... Your uncle aside, with just a little power in your family, you simply can't get your father out of trouble! Have a conscience. Your father's life... Isn't it enough for you to stay with the old man for a few years?
Lu Jinnan looked at Lin Nuan's pretty face, and said with coldness in his eyes: "For you, the only thing that can repay the old man is your youth and beauty."
Lin Nuan clenched his fists tightly.
Lu Jinnan stared at Lin Nuan seriously, and white smoke came out of the cigarette between his fingers.
He threw the ash into the ashtray and said, "Don't be indignant at my words! Think about it, apart from your young figure and looks, what else can you give to the old man? Oh yes... In addition to that, you can turn Lao Fu into a source of upper-class gossip and entertainment. A fake rich wife who has left a wealthy family and has a mentally ill mother! Her partner is the grandson of another wealthy family, but she has to face the humiliating situation of fighting for the inheritance with her illegitimate child! The combination of these two people... It would be amazing gossip for people in high society.
Lu Jinnan's words were annoying, but he was not wrong!
This is the ugly truth.
Lin Nuan couldn't help Fu Huai'an's ambitions......
The anger that had built up in her heart slowly and uselessly dissipated.
"Lin Nuan, everyone knows that fairy tales are beautiful, but everyone also knows that fairy tales are for children! As a matter of fact... Cinderella and her prince will not end well. Even the most representative Princess Diana suffered a chaotic marriage, not to mention other ordinary people! There is a reason why people marry people of their own social class. Of course, Lao Fu is not the prince, but with his current status, you really can't help him!
As a woman, based on Lin Nuan's sixth sense...... She could vaguely guess what was going on.
She remembered the last time she was in Chu Xun's office, Chu Xun said...... Fu Huai'an was holding a dead woman in his heart!
Connecting the bits and pieces with the photos that Lu Jinnan showed her at the moment, Lin Nuan's heart quickened slightly. Don't... The person Fu Huai'an once loved, was Lu Xiangsi?
