As she stared at Lu Jinnan speaking, Lin Nuan thought of the conversation between Chu Xun and Fu Huai’an last night…
The planned future Lu Jinnan was talking about was probably Fu Huai’an getting the Kaide Corporation.
Lin Nuan had already somewhat understood Fu Huai’an’s background and his awkward standing in the Fu Family.
Lin Nuan also guessed while it was initially easy for Fu Huai’an to take over the corporation, things had changed when Fu Tianci appeared.
And this change in his status had probably made it extremely difficult to go around regarding pany matters. At this point in time, the power behind an alliance via marriage was rather important.
“Old Fu likes you, so I hope you can stay by his side. But don’t you dare harbor hope for anything further. Old Fu’s official wife can only be Chu Xun! Of course… I won’t let you stay with Old Fu for nothing. I’ll pay you annually, and I’ll pay you a deposit first! If at any time Old Fu loses interest in you, you still get to keep the money. This should be worth it for you!”
After Lin Nuan heard Lu Jinnan’s whole speech, her expression darkened. She especially wanted to directly tell Lu Jinnan that she was already married to Fu Huai’an, using it to give him a slap in his face.
Lu Jinnan’s expression was very serious, with no traces of him joking around with Lin Nuan.
For Lu Jinnan to be saying such words to Lin Nuan today, Fu Huai’an must have yet to tell his friends about their marriage. Since Lu Jinnan was Fu Huai’an’s friend, Lin Nuan didn’t want to overstep her boundaries and say too much.
“Mr. Lu, is the purpose of your speech today for me to splash my coffee at you and give you a slap on the face?”
Lin Nuan spoke with a controlled voice, but the slightly heavy rise and fall of her chest exposed her inner turmoil.
“You won’t be mistreated if you stay with Old Fu, even if you don’t have a proper status beside him. Just like what happened to your family last time, if not for Old Fu… Your uncle aside, just based on the little power your family has, you wouldn’t have been able to get your father out of that mess! Have some conscience. Your father’s life… is it not enough for you to stay with Old Fu for a few years?”
Lu Jinnan looked at Lin Nuan’s pretty face and said with coldness in his eyes, “For you, the only thing you can repay Old Fu with is your youth and beauty.”
Lin Nuan clenched her fists tightly.
Lu Jinnan stared at Lin Nuan seriously, the cigarette between his fingers emitting white smoke.
He knocked the cigarette ashes into the ashtray and said, “Don’t feel indignant about my words! Think about it, apart from your youthful body and looks, what else can you give Old Fu? Oh, that’s right… apart from those, you can also turn Old Fu into a source of gossip and entertainment amongst the upper-class. A fake rich lady who has already left her wealthy family behind and who has a mentally ill mother! Her partner is the grandson of another wealthy family, but he has to face the humiliating situation of fighting for his inheritance with an illegitimate child! The bination of these two people… Will be amazing gossip for those in the upper-class.”
Lu Jinnan’s words were nasty, but he wasn’t wrong!
It was the ugly truth.
Lin Nuan was unable to help Fu Huai’an with his ambitions…
The accumulated anger in her heart slowly dispersed uselessly.
“Lin Nuan, everyone knows that fairy tales are beautiful, but everyone also knows that fairy tales are for children! In reality… Cinderella and her prince won’t have a good ending. Even the most representative Princess Diana met a mess of a marriage, let alone other ordinary people! There is a reason for people marrying those of their own social class. Of course, Old Fu isn’t a prince, but with his current status, it is also true that you can’t help him!”
