Chapter 193
Lu Jinnan watched his secretary leave. Then he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, bit the corner of his lip, lit it, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Fu Huai'an's number.
"Old man, why did the old lady faint in your office? How is she? Lu Jinnan blurted out as soon as the phone was connected.
"She's fine. Her high blood pressure attack..."On the other end of the phone, Fu Huai'an's deep voice sounded a little tired.
Lu Jinnan took a deep puff of cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke. "Nothing unpleasant will happen to the old lady. Once something happens to her, the old man can give Fu Tianci's mother a proper name. We are not fully prepared for this.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jinnan's mood was still gloomy. With one hand in his pocket, he walked to the window. Looking at Haicheng, which was shrouded in rain, his gaze seemed far away.
...
Fu Huai'an stood by the trash can in the inpatient department, one hand in his pocket, eagerly smoking a cigarette.
Regarding Mrs. Fu's approach to Lin Nuan, Fu Huaian knew that Lin Nuan was wronged, and was afraid that she would think too much. He thought about how to appease her.
Before the cigarette was finished, Fu Huaian dialed Lin Nuan's number. Looking at the heavy rain outside, he remembered Lin Nuan's shy demeanor when he stared at him, and all the troubles he felt seemed to turn into thin air.
When Lin Nuan received a call from Fu Huai'an, she happened to get out of the elevator with Lin Chen.
Seeing that it was Fu Huai'an's number, Lin Nuan didn't dodge and picked it up. "Huai'an..."
"Where are you?" Fu Huai'an's throat sounded hoarse after smoking, sounding extraordinarily deep and charming.
Lin Nuan brushed a strand of loose hair behind her ear and said, "Sunshine Square, I just had lunch with my brother......
On the other end of the phone, Fu Huaian stared at the rain, his Adam's apple trembling slightly. He could see... Lin Nuan deliberately emphasized that she had just eaten with Lin Chen to cover up the fact that Old Madam Fu had looked for her before.
"Two lunches in one afternoon, aren't you stuffed to the extreme?"
Fu Huai'an's eyes were fixed on the lonely delivery scooter parked in the heavy rain in the ground parking lot, and his gentle voice revealed his understanding of Mrs. Fu's visit to Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan's hand clutched the phone tightly, and his ears were slightly red.
"Which Sunshine Plaza? I'll pick you up..."
After finding out that Lin Nuan had been wronged, Fu Huaian wanted to immediately pull Lin Nuan into his arms.
"It doesn't matter. You do what you need to do. I've already told Uncle Hu to pick me up! I'm fine! Lin Nuan tried her best to make herself sound relaxed and lively.
Fu Huai'an lowered his eyes, extinguished the cigarette in the cigarette barrel on the top of the trash can, and said, "Xiao Nuan, I miss you......"
Fu Huai'an's sudden romantic words made Lin Nuan's heart beat faster.
Her ears were even redder.
The little grievances she felt turned into thin ones, and Lin Nuan couldn't say anything anymore.
She also misses Fu Huai'an. Ever since she came out of Yujuxuan, she has resisted the urge to call Fu Huai'an.
At that time, Lin Nuan felt that it would be good to hear Fu Huai'an's voice, but he was afraid of disturbing him.
Hearing Fu Huaian say the words "miss you", Lin Nuan could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. She could no longer suppress the desire to run into Fu Huai'an's arms.
"Sunshine Plaza, located at the intersection of Renmin Road and Qujiang New Road......" Lin Nuan said.
"That's not far away. I need twenty minutes at most. Go walk around the mall and wait for me.
Lin Nuan hung up the phone and said to Lin Chen: "Brother, Huai'an is here to pick me up." You can go first. I'm waiting for him here.
Lin Chen had something to deal with in the company, so he nodded. He originally wanted to remind Lin Nuan to go home and take a look, but he couldn't help but dare to say it out loud.
Watching Lin Chen enter the elevator and go to the underground parking lot, Lin Nuan called Uncle Hu and told him that Fu Huai'an would come to pick her up and save him trouble.
While waiting for Fu Huai'an to arrive, Lin Nuan felt ecstatic.
As she walked out of the café on the first floor with two hot drinks, her shoulder bag slung over her shoulder, her eyes falling on the most prominent spot at the Swiss luxury watch counter next door. Lying there was the one she bought for Fu Huai'an, and next to it was a women's watch of the same model.
Lin Nuan walked to the counter with her coffee, intrigued, because she had never seen this kind of female design in a mall before.
A women's watch has a more refined feel, and because it is set with diamonds, it is more expensive than a men's watch. Although Lin Nuan has no way to buy that watch now, this does not prevent her from liking and appreciating it.
"Hi Miss, do you like this design? I can show it for you to take a closer look......"
The saleswoman recognized Lin Nuan as the host of the talk show "Sunday Rendezvous", and without giving Lin Nuan a chance to refuse, she had already taken out a watch with black gloves and respectfully sent it to Lin Nuan.
"You do have good taste. The watch is a limited edition. Only 1000 per version are available worldwide. As for the women's watches, there are only two of them in Haicheng, both of which are on my counter.
"It turned out to be Lin Nuan..."
Lin Nuan turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
She saw a girl in a dress full of shopping bags, large and small, looking at her with raised eyebrows. Her companion tugged at her elbow and whispered to her not to get in trouble and to leave.
"What kind of trouble am I afraid of?" The girl removed her arm from her companion's touch and walked towards Lin Nuan in high heels with a breath. Her gaze swept over the watch in the salesperson's hand, and then stared straight at Lin Nuan. Her lips curled, but she didn't look friendly. "I just want to see a watch!"
This arrogant girl is the baby daughter of Gao Daiwei, a good friend Lin Ran made after returning to the Lin family, and the director of the Haicheng Development Bureau.
Gao Daiwei is the daughter of Director Gao and his late wife. His late wife died when she gave birth to her, so Gao Daiwei was sent to live with his grandparents after he was born.
When Gao Daiwei was eight months old, Director Gao married another woman, who was the daughter of the current director of the Jincheng Development Bureau. They later gave birth to two daughters, so Gao Daiwei was forgotten by Director Gao.
Later, Director Gao was promoted to the current director of the Haicheng Development Bureau. After his parents passed away one after another, he had no choice but to send him to the young Gao Daiwei...... He was only 16 years old at the time, and he lived with him in Haicheng.
But Gao Daiwei grew up in different environments with her two stepsisters, did not get along well with them, and suffered serious bullying. However, Director Gao was prejudiced against his two young daughters and chose to turn a blind eye to them.
It was precisely because of what she had to go through, coupled with the similar situations she and Lin Ran had since childhood, that the two hit it off and became good friends who could talk about anything in the world.
Gao Daiwei was sure that Lin Ran was forced to go to the UK because of the scheming Lin Nuan. It was Lin Nuan who stole Lin Ran's parents, leaving her with no choice but to go to a foreign country alone.
Gao Daiwei has only one good friend like Haicheng, a confidant with such a similar temperament. Now that Lin Ran has left... In Haicheng, she no longer has a sister to talk to!
Regarding this matter, Gao Daiwei and Lin Ran cried several times on the phone.
She knew very well that Lin Ran was a straightforward and simple girl, which made her think that Lin Nuan was a scheming guy. She hated Lin Nuan to the core...
Now that she met Lin Nuan in the mall, with Gao Daiwei's character, she will definitely avenge Lin Ran.
Lin Nuan didn't want to entangle with Gao Daiwei, so she turned around to leave, but was dragged back by Gao Daiwei.
Gao Daiwei had a defiant expression on her face and smiled and took the watch from the sales lady. She asked Lin Nuan: "Do you like this watch?" It's not cheap, you know... You're nothing more than a humble talk show host, are you sure you can afford it? Is your sugar daddy paying, or are you letting the Lin family pay?
"Did Miss Gao deliberately make things difficult for me?" Lin Nuan's brows furrowed tightly.
Gao Daiwei looked at the watch in his hand and didn't let go of Lin Nuan. "Or," she asked... You can't afford it, and you just appreciate it and get the thrill? Or, do you want to post it to your social circle, comment on how gorgeous the watch is, and wait for Lin Ran's mother to give it to you?
Gao Daiwei knew very well that Lin Nuan was a public figure, so he deliberately blew this matter out and humiliated her in public!
"David, forget it! Let's go... Don't you want to sing karaoke because you're in a bad mood? Let's go! I've booked a suite! ”
The girl next to Gao Daiwei tried to ease the tension in the air.
"Let me ask you a question!" Gao Daiwei tugged on Lin Nuan's elbow and demanded sternly: "You can't afford it, so you just wait for Lin Ran's mother to buy it for you." Right?
Lin Nuan forcefully pulled her elbow out of Gao Daiwei's grasp and said, "Is this what Miss Gao is used to?" Whenever you can't afford something, you post it to your social circle and wait for someone to show it to you? Judging others by yourself will only expose yourself, has no one ever opened your truth?
How could an adult like Lin Nuan not have a temper at all?
The depression in her heart only calmed down after talking to Fu Huai'an, and now, Gao Daiwei has resurfaced those emotions.
Even grumpy people have tempers!
