"Do you need me to send you away?" Bai Xiaonian asked.

"No need..."Lin Nuan bent down and put on lipstick. The driver is picking me up! ”

Lin Nuan glanced at his watch. It had been five minutes since she had agreed to meet Uncle Hu to pick her up.

"I'll go down first..." Lin Nuan put the lipstick into her bag and hurriedly left the dressing room.

Bai Xiaonian felt a little strange. She leaned back in the mirror and stared at the lipstick that Lin Nuan had put down. She hesitated to call Lu Jinbei and ask him to tell Lu Jinnan to inform Fu Huai'an.

Then she thought, maybe she was thinking too much. Maybe the elders just decided to meet for a simple meal by chance.

If there is nothing to worry about, Bai Xiaonian notified Fu Huaian through Lu Jinbei, then it will complicate things. Fu Huaian would call her grandmother, she would feel that Lin Nuan was not "decent" enough, so she had to ask her husband to help her eat a simple meal.

Bai Xiaonian thought hard for a long time before receiving a call from the hospital. Then she rushed over.

...

When Lin Nuan arrived at the restaurant, he told the waiter the room number, and the waiter politely led the way.

Lin Nuan went in and saw that Old Madam Fu had arrived. Her assistant was holding a laptop and was discussing something with her. Seeing the waiter come in, both looked up.

"Lin Nuan is here, please take a seat..."Old Madam Fu nodded, motioning for her to sit on the seat opposite.

Lin Nuan nodded, sat down with a smile, and put the bag beside him.

Because she was her elder, Lin Nuan didn't dare to let go.

After they finished discussing the work, Mrs. Fu motioned for the assistant to leave the room. She poured tea for Lin Nuan herself.

Lin Nuan respectfully took the tea and thanked her.

"I know it's very sudden to invite you to dinner suddenly," Old Madam Fu smiled at her and said, "Take a sip ......of this tea." I asked my assistant to bring it from home – I'm always used to tea outside.

Lin Nuan nodded, thinking about whether she had more than she said.

Just when Lin Nuan was about to ask Mrs. Fu's taste preferences, her assistant came in again and handed her personal phone to Mrs. Fu, and the phone was still ringing. He leaned over and said, "It's your husband......"

Old Madam Fu's face changed, and she glared fiercely at the phone screen. "You answer, tell him that when I finish eating, it's an urgent matter."

"Noticed!"

After the assistant left, he handed the menu to Lin Nuan. "I've ordered a few dishes according to my taste, because I don't know your dish yet. You can see if there's anything you like here......"

She called the waiter. After Lin Nuan asked her what she ordered, she added a meal of soup and closed the menu. She then said, "Let's eat first, and if we don't eat enough, we will eat more, what do you say?"

Seeing Lin Nuan's opposition to wasting food, Old Madam Fu nodded.

Despite being the host, Lin Nuan is not as talkative in life as she is on the show.

In addition, Fu Huaian didn't tell her too much about Old Madam Fu, so Lin Nuan didn't know what to talk about with her.

Mrs. Fu's phone kept ringing when the food was served. She is confident and even aggressive when dealing with him. Lin Nuan listened awkwardly, and kept drinking tea to hide his uneasiness.

Although Mrs. Fu was old, she was sober-minded and gave decisive instructions......

Lin Nuan looked down at the appetizing soup, feeling that she would never be able to be like her.

After finally hanging up the phone, she put the phone aside and looked at Lin Nuan, who was sitting quietly in front of her. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry... There's a lot to settle with him!

Lin Nuan smiled and nodded.

She continued: "Today, I invite you to lunch and discuss something. If something offends you, I hope Miss Lin can understand......"

When Lin Nuan heard "Miss Lin", she felt her heart sink down.

Old Madam Fu just cautiously distanced herself between them.

It stands to reason that she should have called Lin Nuan by her first name, or a more intimate nickname like Nuan Nuan, since she was married to her grandson.

However, the meaning of "Miss Lin" is something else entirely.

Lin Nuan held the teacup tightly. She just kept smiling and nodded, and at the same time she felt all kinds of mixed emotions in her heart.

She adjusted her mood, remained polite, and said with dignity, "Please continue to ......"

"There's nothing wrong with you getting married to Huai'an and not coming to see me, because I'm just a grandmother......"

Lin Nuan was about to defend Fu Huai'an, but Mrs. Fu smiled and raised her hand to stop her. "Listen to me first, don't rush to defend him!"

Lin Nuan put his hand on the cup and nodded.

"But I only have one child, Fu Huai'an's mother. His mother is now gone... So he's basically my grandson! All my remaining expectations are pinned on him......"

Lin Nuan could understand what she wanted to say.

Old Man Fu has a secret son, Fu Tianci, who is trying to pass on CapitaLand to him......

However, Mrs. Fu fought a battle with him and established CapitaLand. How could she be willing to pass it on to his secret son when she created the company with her own hands?

Lin Nuan didn't know that they had a good relationship before Fu Tianci appeared in the picture!

Even if their only daughter died, Old Man Fu never thought of having children with other women. They decided to adopt Fu Cheng and raise him as their heir.

Then Fu Cheng had an accident. Fu Huaian has a direct relationship with Old Man Fu and Old Lady Fu's daughter Fu Wan, so he was asked by his grandparents to be the next heir!

Before Fu Tianci appeared, Fu Huai'an was the definite heir of CapitaLand!

The relationship between Old Man Fu and Old Lady Fu is also very stable.

"My husband's secret son and his woman are staring at CapitaLand like vultures. They just hope that I can die quickly and get Fu Huaian out of the picture so that they can get CapitaLand. Old Madam Fu told Lin Nuan the secret of their dark family.

Lin Nuan listened and did not interrupt.

"Before you put up the picture, I planned to make Chu Xun Huai'an's wife. She comes from a good background, and most importantly, her relatives hold shares in CapitaLand, which is especially useful for Huai'an!

Old Madam Fu explained calmly. Lin Nuan felt that his heart sank.

"When I saw you the other night, I could tell from your demeanor that your upbringing was decent. Then I asked for some information about your background......"

Old Lady Fu finally talked about the topic involving Lin Nuan, and Lin Nuan's fingers were now clutching the teacup tightly, and her face was getting paler and paler.

"Your background is truly amazing!"

Mrs. Fu was polite and used the word "surprise".

"I thought Fu Huai'an was cautious, you should be some kind of heir. He does have feelings for you, but at the same time, it would be better if you could benefit his future in some way. Obviously, I was wrong..."

Old Madam Fu was not angry. She maintains a friendly smile when she says the most hurtful words.

The reason why she was so good that night was because she felt that Lin Nuan had a good background.

For a person who grew up in a family like the Lin family, in the decaying culture of the upper class, Lin Nuan knew that Mrs. Fu had reason to think so.

Not only that, but for anyone who belongs to high society, she has reason to think so.

"Your good education and your whole life didn't belong to you in the first place. What scares me the most is that you have a mentally ill mother!

Lin Nuan is the fake princess of the Lin family, not to mention that she has a mentally ill mother. Any family would mind this background.

"I even heard that you're being treated after coming back from Iraq, so what's your own mental health?"

Lin Nuan listened silently throughout the whole process. She felt like she had been stabbed in the most hurtful place.

She moved her lips and looked at Old Madam Fu's smiling eyes. She smiled back and perked up. "I see my therapist regularly because I don't want to end up with the kind of mental illness that my mother suffers from. At the slightest sign of the show, I immediately seek support.

Old Madam Fu nodded and said, "This is pretty good." But I think, if you suffer from similar diseases in the future, will you and Huai'an's children be affected?

Lin Nuan's face turned as white as a piece of paper.

Lin Nuan has deliberately avoided this question in the past few days.

When Lin Nuan told Fu Huaian not to rush to have a child, she didn't dare to mention another reason - except that she was just thinking about Tuan Tuan's safety.

So, what if she suffers from some kind of mental illness? But she definitely didn't want her child to end up with the same condition as herself.

"I don't say this to let you leave Huai'an, after all, he did choose you to be his wife. If I drive you away, he'll definitely hold a grudge against me! Because you have to spend the rest of your life with him, not me. I'm just for Fu Huai'an's grandmother who appeared in the picture halfway!

Old Madam Fu was blunt and saw the situation clearly.

So what was her intention to approach Lin Nuan this time?

Lin Nuan was confused.

Old Madam Fu didn't say anything. She seemed to be waiting for Lin Nuan to speak.

Lin Nuan finally decided to go with Old Madam Fu and asked, "So, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"

Old Madam Fu's phone vibrated again. She glanced at it and locked her phone. Then she took an unhurried sip of tea and said, "I hope you can think about the future of Huai'an!"

Lin Nuan looked at Old Madam Fu suspiciously.
