422 You’re Saying the Most Hurtful Words (1/2)
Yet ”Miss Lin” meant something else altogether.
Lin Nuan grasped her teacup tightly. She simply kept her smile and nodded while she felt all kinds of complicated emotions inside.
She adjusted her emotions and remained polite as she said with her dignity, ”Please continue…”
”You and Huai'an got married without coming to visit me, there's nothing wrong with that because I'm just a grandmother…”
Lin Nuan was just about to defend Fu Huai'an when Old Madam Fu smiled and raised her hand to stop her. ”Hear me out first, don't rush to defend him!”
Lin Nuan kept her hand on her cup and nodded.
”But I only had one child, Fu Huai'an's mother. His mother is gone now… so he's basically my grandson by blood! All of my remaining expectations are placed upon him…”
Lin Nuan could understand what she was trying to say.
Old Master Fu had a secret son, Fu Tianci, and he was trying to pass the Kaide Corporation to him…
Yet Old Madam Fu fought a battle with him to build the Kaide Corporation. How would she be willing to pass it on to his secret son when she created the corporation with her own hands?
Lin Nuan had no idea that they were on good terms before Fu Tianci appeared in the picture!
Even if their only daughter passed away, Old Master Fu never even thought about having a child with some other woman. They decided to adopt Fu Cheng and raise him to be the heir.
Then Fu Cheng got into an accident. Fu Huai'an, being directly related to Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu's daughter, Fu Wan, was thereby asked by his grandparents to be the next heir!
Before Fu Tianci came into the picture, Fu Huai'an was the confirmed heir of the Kaide Corporation!
Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu also had a steady relationship.
”My husband's secret son and his woman are eyeing the Kaide Corporation like vultures. They only wish I could pass away soon to get Fu Huai'an out of the picture so they can get the Kaide Corporation.” Old Madam Fu told Lin Nuan about their dark family secrets.
Lin Nuan listened without interrupting.
”Before you came into the picture, I intended for Chu Xun to become Huai'an's wife. She has a good background, and most importantly, her relatives are holding shares of the Kaide Corporation, which is especially useful for Huai'an!”
Old Madam Fu explained calmly. Lin Nuan, however, felt her heart sinking.
”When I met you the other night, I could tell that your upbringing was decent through your mannerisms. I then asked for some information on your background…”
Old Madam Fu finally got to the subject involving Lin Nuan, whose fingers were now tightly gripping her teacup and growing paler.
”Your background is indeed, surprising!”
Old Madam Fu was polite enough to use the word ”surprising.”
”I had thought that Fu Huai'an took action carefully, that you should be some kind of heiress. He does have feelings for you, but at the same time, it's preferable if you can benefit his future in some way. Apparently, I was wrong…”
Old Madam Fu didn't get mad. She maintained her amicable smile as she said the most hurtful words.
