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.


The reason she was so nice that night was that she thought Lin Nuan had a good background.
For someone who grew up in a family like the Lin Family, in a decadent culture in the upper class, Lin Nuan knew that Old Madam Fu was justified to think the way she did.
Not only that, but she was justified to think that way for anyone who belonged to the upper class.

Your fine education and your whole life didn’t initially belong to you. What scares me the most is that you have a mother who is mentally ill!

Lin Nuan was the fake princess of the Lin Family—not to mention she had a mentally ill mother. Any family would mind this background.

I even heard that you were in therapy after returning from Iraq—so how stable is your own mental health?

Lin Nuan was silently listening the whole time. She felt stabbed in the most hurtful spot.
She moved her lips and looked into Old Madam Fu’s smiling eyes. She smiled back and pulled herself together.
I visit my therapist regularly because I don’t want to end up having the same kind of mental illness my mother had. I would immediately look for support when the smallest of signs show up.

Old Madam Fu nodded and said,
That’s a good way to look at it. But I think if you suffer from a similar condition in the future, won’t you and Huai’an’s children be affected?

Lin Nuan’s face turned white as a sheet.


Lin Nuan was intentionally avoiding this issue these days.
When Lin Nuan told Fu Huai’an there was no rush to have children, she didn’t dare mention the other reason—besides the fact that she was only keeping Tuan Tuan’s wellbeing in mind.
So what if she had some kind of mental illness? But she definitely wouldn’t want her children to end up with the same condition as herself.

I’m not saying this to get you to leave Huai’an—after all, he did choose you to be his wife. If I drive you away, he would definitely hold a grudge towards me! Because you’re the one who has to spend the rest of your life with him, not me. I’m just a grandmother who appeared in the picture halfway for Fu Huai’an!

Old Madam Fu spoke bluntly and saw the situation clearly.
So what was her intention for approaching Lin Nuan this time?
Lin Nuan was confused.
Old Madam Fu didn’t say anything. It was as if she were waiting for Lin Nuan to speak.
Lin Nuan finally decided to go along with Old Madam Fu and asked,
So, for what purpose did you come here today?

Old Madam Fu’s phone vibrated again. She glanced at it and locked her phone. She then unhurriedly took a sip of her tea and said,
I hope you will think about Huai’an’s future!



Lin Nuan looked at Old Madam Fu in confusion.
She said,
You can’t publicly announce the news of you and Fu Huai’an getting married.

She put down her teacup and explained the situation to Lin Nuan.
Chu Xun already knows that you have gotten married, but she still has feelings towards Huai’an. The Chu Family is aware of this. Before my husband and I pass away, and before the real heir of the Kaide Corporation is confirmed, the support of the Chu Family towards Huai’an is especially important. Do you understand what I’m saying?

Lin Nuan recalled Chu Xun talking about something with Huai’an in Tianfu Bay. Both of their families felt that Fu Huai’an and Chu Xun were a good match for each other and that they would decide on marriage soon.

You don’t have to leave Huai’an. All I ask is for you to hide your marriage from the public. Don’t young people do this nowadays? Not to mention you’re a public figure now. I heard you have been starring in a movie featuring Manman recently and that you have a bright future ahead. Announcing your marriage publicly wouldn’t benefit your career in any way.
