Chapter 581: Bed Him!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Are you still not aware? Someone uploaded a photo online and claimed to have bumped into your family in Venice! Someone also said they now know why Weng Lin has become the new host of ‘A Sunday Date’—because you are preparing to marry into a rich family and give birth to a child in order to consolidate your position, devoting your time to your husband and kids.”
Su Manman stared at Lin Nuan with a hint of a smile, but she didn’t appear to be speaking sarcastically or mocking Lin Nuan.
Su Manman, more or less, knew something about this…
In addition, she heard there was a particularly rich man backing Weng Lin, so Lin Nuan was forcibly removed from “A Sunday Date” and replaced by Weng Lin. Su Manman didn’t believe that Chu Xun had nothing to do with this. Other people might not know Chu Xun’s feelings towards Fu Huai’an, but Su Manman knew!
As for the nosy netizens, they were all speculating about who the rich backer of Weng Lin was, to be tougher than even the President of the Kaide Corporation.
Lin Nuan smiled with her lips pursed, appearing vibrant with happiness as she gripped Fu Huai’an’s large hand. “En, I do have this intention!”
Su Manman caught the smile in Fu Huai’an, which was a rare sight. Her beautiful eyes darted between the two of them. “You guys are annoying! Are you deliberately trying to torment me with this public show of affection? Fu Huai’an… we’re cousins after all, aren’t you going to take your wife—who is displaying this public show of affection—in hand! Aren’t you afraid of leading the national little flower that is me astray?”
“What flower? When are you going to bear a child?” Fu Huai’an’s deep eyes gazed at Su Manman as he asked this seriously.
Su Manman was speechless.
There’s no way they could be good cousins with him being like that!
Not planning to argue with someone who used to be a great lawyer, Su Manman turned and looked at Lin Nuan.
“Not planning to snatch the show back?” Su Manman asked Lin Nuan.
There were some things that couldn’t be tolerated! She was so obviously robbed of her show… Did she not have someone to back her up? Lin Nuan was considered her, Su Manman’s cousin-in-law! With such a legitimate and powerful husband, how could he not be as reliable as a backer with money?
Lin Nuan shook her head. “I’m not planning to stay on at Haicheng TV Station.”
It wasn’t what she expected, yet it was understandable. If Su Manman were to run into a president who constantly sought trouble with her, she would also leave.
Fu Huai’an’s phone vibrated in his pocket. He told Lin Nuan about it, then walked to the side and picked up the call. Lin Nuan and Su Manman decided to sit down on a long bench.
“You’re here to shoot a movie?” Lin Nuan mentioned what happened earlier in the day. “This morning, my friend saw you and Shi Hanchu enter the hotel where we’re staying, one after the other…”
Su Manman wasn’t planning to hide it from Lin Nuan. She leaned comfortably against the long bench and put a hand on the backrest behind Lin Nuan. Perhaps because the sky had darkened and she wasn’t afraid of being recognized, she removed her tweed cap and placed it on her lap, then ran her fingers through her waist-length hair in a leisurely manner…
“Shi Hanchu is here to shoot a movie, and also… because of his older sister. His older sister’s ashes are scattered in Venice. Every year around this time, Shi Hanchu comes to Venice, no matter what. The crew only shifted filming here because of Shi Hanchu!” Su Manman explained.
Actually, regarding what happened to Shi Hanchu’s older sister, Su Manman knew a little about it. She heard that… Shi Hanchu’s childhood friend had snatched Shi Hanchu’s older sister from her husband’s hands!
Later, his older sister truly fell for that man who wrecked her marriage and was willing to risk her life and try out a drug for that man!
This story sounded like one of those romantic dramas that Su Manman had filmed before. It wasn’t something she would expect to have happened to Shi Hanchu’s sister in real life!
The most ironic thing was… Shi Hanchu’s older sister truly fell for that man who snatched her away, but that man didn’t actually love her deeply—he was merely accustomed to being taken care of by her and wasn’t used to seeing her together with another man.
This made Su Manman feel that Shi Hanchu’s older sister was a silly woman!
Su Manman put these thoughts out of her mind and turned her head to smile at Lin Nuan. The sea breeze made her long hair scatter all over, and her smile was charismatic. “I’m here to chase after a man! I must take advantage of his depressed feelings and bed him! After the raw rice is cooked1… he will have no choice but to acknowledge it!”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Could it be that there was a specific gene that ran in the Fu family that caused every member, regardless of gender, to be so explicit in such matters?
Lin Nuan felt a little worried about their future kid, hoping the child wouldn’t turn out like that…
Seeing the speechless look on Lin Nuan’s face, Su Manman raised a hand to support her head and changed the topic. “This time, Director Chen asked you to go around doing publicity with the crew of ‘The Exorcist’ and has the intention of grooming you. Do you want to advance your acting career?”
Lin Nuan shook her head. “It’s too tiring! I only want to do what I want to do. It was just a guest star role, and yet I couldn’t take the exhaustion, never mind becoming a professional.”
Furthermore, Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an had already decided to have a kid. Lin Nuan hoped to be spending more time accompanying Fu Huai’an, Tuan Tuan, and her kid! She didn’t want to work so hard and become an all-rounded entertainer, only wanting to be a show host and a reporter… A show host and reporter like the one she had envisioned.
The only reason Lin Nuan accepted the guest star role was that Fang Yan had told her that if she wanted to become the type of reporter and show host she had envisioned, she must first heighten her popularity. Only when she achieved extremely high popularity would people listen to what she had to say!
And only when she achieved such high popularity and constantly stood under the limelight would her safety be ensured.
Fang Yan cited an example—there was a reporter that uncovered news about problematic milk powder, who subsequently ran into an armed robber and took thirteen bullets, becoming like a sieve!
The investigation revealed it to be a case of armed robbery by a drug addict, but if it was a mere case of robbery… who would be so brutal as to fire so many shots?
Also, since this drug addict was armed, why did he rob a pedestrian?
Many details couldn’t stand up to investigation, but the inquiry stopped at this point. Who knew what people and profits were implicated in this!
There was also a reporter who uncovered news on infective eggs. He disappeared for more than four months, and later, a ring finger was discovered in his apartment. After checking the DNA, it was confirmed to belong to that reporter. The case remained unsolved.
Reporters who uncovered news on poisonous vaccines, food additives, and homeless children who were tortured to death, had all met mishaps and vanished.
Fang Yan told Lin Nuan that the kind of news anchor that she aspired to be was risky.
