536 Where Do I Go to Heat Up the Milk for Your Wife! (1/2)
Someone shook his head at this, not able to understand Fu Qingquan's motivation behind doing so!
Fu Huai'an was Fu Qingquan's biological maternal grandson. With him at the helm of the Kaide Corporation, the company had excellent performance. So why did he insist on paying such a high price for an illegitimate son to inherit the Kaide Corporation? If things went awry… he might end up having to part with half of the company to an outsider—how ridiculous!
But others also understood Fu Qingquan's feelings of wanting his own son to inherit the Kaide Corporation…
”I'm not sure if Fu Huai'an will attend the event…” Someone suddenly mentioned this.
”No idea. If it were me, I wouldn't come. To be suddenly robbed of the Kaide Corporation, which was mine to begin with—why would I still want to give face to this illegitimate son?”
”Hard to say. Back in those days in Jincheng, Fu Huai'an was regarded as the Jiang's illegitimate son, so perhaps they can appreciate each other because, you know, like knows like!”
The minute those words of jest came out, they heard Lu Jinnan's dilly-dally tone of voice over their heads.
”The way you're putting it, it sounds like you're willing to give face to an illegitimate son. Don't tell me you're all illegitimate sons and are only supporting him because 'like knows like'?”
Several of them got a scare. When they looked up, they saw the suited Lu Jinnan carrying champagne in one hand, his other hand in his pocket. He was standing on the stairs, staring at the group of them with a hint of a smile.
Lu Jinnan's reputation was something no one in Haicheng hadn't heard of before!
With blood on his hands and a ferocious manner of handling things, they more or less had some fear towards Lu Jinnan, who was working under Fu Huai'an.
Having been caught mocking Fu Huai'an's identity by Lu Jinnan, they sheepishly smiled and waved hello before dispersing.
If they still didn't scram, and if Lu Jinnan were to remember them, who knew what unfortunate events would befall them.
…
Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan didn't arrive too late, but it wasn't early either.
He parked the car in the parking lot within the manor. Fu Huai'an unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his head to look at Tuan Tuan in the backseat. He then looked at Lin Nuan, who was about to reach out to open the door, and said, ”There's no hurry to enter. Are you hungry? I'll get you and Tuan Tuan some snacks and milk.”
Lin Nuan's hand remained on the door. ”No hurry to enter?”
”Eat something to fill your stomach a little! It doesn't matter for Tuan Tuan, but you might not have the time to eat later!” Fu Huai'an said to Lin Nuan with his hand leaning on the back of the front passenger seat.
Retrieving two pieces of chocolate from her bag, Lin Nuan showed them to Fu Huai'an. ”Tuan Tuan gave me these. I've eaten a piece…”
Just then, Lu Jinnan's phone call came in.
”Your phone!” Lin Nuan retracted the hand holding those chocolates and motioned towards the vibrating phone on the dashboard with her gaze.
Turning his head, Fu Huai'an took the phone and answered the call before putting it to his ear. ”We're already here…”
It was a mystery what Lu Jinnan said that made Fu Huai'an reply, ”I'm in the parking lot. Bring me some snacks and cake so that Lin Nuan can fill her stomach. It'd be even better if there was hot milk…”
Lu Jinnan was speechless.
Was he treating him like a maid?
”Where do I go to heat up the milk for your wife!”
Even if Fu Huai'an didn't put the call on speakerphone, Lin Nuan would still have heard that Lu Jinnan's voice had gone up a pitch.
The car was so well-confined that even if she wanted to pretend she didn't hear that, it wouldn't work!
