678 Had to Be Pressed Into the Lake to Cleanse Those Dirty Hearts of Theirs That Reeked of a Rotten Stench! (1/2)

\”Aiyoh, slower!\” Fu Mingming's mother was carrying a platter of snacks. Suddenly having her son charge at her and grab hold of her leg, she nearly lost her balance and dropped the snacks on the tray all over the ground.

Fu Mingming rubbed his face in his mother's embrace, a little frightened. He felt especially uneasy because of the gaze that Lin Nuan had shot at him!

Although Fu Mingming was little, he had learned to observe others' emotions through their expressions.

\”What's the matter?\” Fu Mingming's mother lowered her head and stroked Fu Mingming's head. \”Why are you so clumsy? Did your sister bully you?\”

Fu Mingming said nothing. He looked in Lin Nuan's direction, then timidly buried his head in his mother's arms.

By the lake and under the jubilant lanterns, Lin Nuan was drenched all over, and in her arms was a similarly drenched Tuan Tuan. Upon seeing this, Fu Mingming's mother's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and glanced at her boy, and she suddenly understood what was going on.

Fu Mingming's mother, Ye Ziqi, was older than Lin Nuan, and Lin Nuan had seen her before in Haicheng back in the past.

Ye Ziqi was sort of a well-known socialite in Haicheng's upper class. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to marry Fu Cheng when he was still the successor of the Kaide Corporation.

Ye Ziqi knew that Lin Nuan was Fu Huai'an's wife now, so she shot Fu Mingming a warning look.

She hurriedly handed the snack platter to the servant and walked towards Lin Nuan with Fu Mingming's hand in hers, an anxious look on her face. She asked despite clearly knowing what was going on, \”What happened? Why is Tuan Tuan all drenched? Hurry and go back into the house! Don't let the child catch a cold! Did you get a scare?\”

Ye Ziqi then reached out and wanted to touch Tuan Tuan's head, but Lin Nuan moved him away from her touch.

Ye Ziqi wasn't awkward, though. She hurriedly instructed the servant, \”Hurry, go and get Housekeeper Ye to invite the family physician over!\”

Lin Nuan originally wanted to pursue the matter, but upon hearing Tuan Tuan sneeze, her heart tightened. She said, \”Ye Ziqi, I don't intend to let this matter rest so easily. We'll talk about this after I settle Tuan Tuan down! Exactly what happened… who pushed Tuan Tuan into the water, I don't care if it's a child that did this. Whoever it was will go soak in that water for me today!\”

This was the first time Lin Nuan had spoken so harshly, not giving any face to the other party.

In upper-class society, everyone knew not to speak so harshly and with complete disregard for the other person's face. Ye Ziqi had grown up in this circle, and this was the first time someone had spoken in that manner with her, even using her child's safety. She was fuming inside and couldn't manage a reply.

Lin Nuan was really worried about Tuan Tuan, not sure whether he had suffered any injuries on his body. It was too dark outside, so she couldn't tell!

The attempt to hold back her temper made Lin Nuan tremble all over!

Tuan Tuan was frightened enough already! She didn't want to start a quarrel or get physical then and there while Tuan Tuan wasn't settled down yet. The most important thing now was to make sure Tuan Tuan didn't suffer any other injuries and see whether he needed to be rushed to the hospital!

Lin Nuan held back the fire in her heart as she carried Tuan Tuan into the house.

In the living room, when the elders heard that Tuan Tuan had fallen into the water, they got a scare.

Lin Nuan and Su Manman carried Tuan Tuan upstairs. Even after helping Tuan Tuan take a warm bath, Tuan Tuan's lingering fear caused him to hold on tight to Lin Nuan and refuse to let go. Lin Nuan saw the bloody red marks on the back of Tuan Tuan's neck due to the necklace, and her heart ached.

Tuan Tuan was checked for injuries on his body, and thankfully, there were none. After helping Tuan Tuan take a warm bath, Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan both changed into clean clothes.

Old Madam Fu wanted to see Tuan Tuan, but Tuan Tuan kept his head buried in Lin Nuan's neck and refused to come out, so Old Madam Fu could only sigh and leave first.

Tuan Tuan, who was worried about his pendant, gazed at Lin Nuan with his watery eyes, pouting in an aggrieved manner. \”Necklace… Mama! Necklace!\”

\”Don't worry, Mama will definitely retrieve your necklace!\” Lin Nuan reassured Tuan Tuan, then asked him what had happened.

From Tuan Tuan's clumsy explanation, Lin Nuan learned…
