Chapter 599: Forced Herself Into a Dead End

But now that Li Muyang put it this way, Ah Zhan suddenly felt that perhaps… Mr. Moral had chosen to meet Gu Qingcheng in public precisely because of the fact that everyone would think this way.
The more they exposed their relationship in front of others and didn’t attempt to hide it, the more others couldn’t detect it.
Wasn’t there a saying, “A true hermit secludes himself in the city center”? Perhaps that was the case here!
…
Little Lu and You Nainai had originally planned to escort Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan back to the presidential suite, then leave after seeing the two of them enter…
But after the four of them exited the elevator, Fu Huai’an asked Little Lu and You Nainai to go back first.
Fu Huai’an’s arm was held around Lin Nuan’s shoulder, and Lin Nuan, who was tipsy, leaned into Fu Huai’an’s embrace as if she had no bones.
“The effect of the alcohol was so great…” Lin Nuan felt that her mind was still clear, but her body was no longer obeying her commands. “It feels like this body isn’t mine anymore!”
“If you like fruit wine, I’ll get them to prepare some at home. Don’t drink so much outside again!” Fu Huai’an reminded her.
Lin Nuan nodded, then flashed a silly grin as she said, “You’re so wonderful!”
Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an had yet to reach their suite, but in the distance, Lin Nuan’s blurry vision could make out a svelte lady standing outside their door.
That lady held on tightly to the collar of her opened jacket as she raised another hand to tuck her long chestnut-colored wavy hair behind her ears. She placed a finger on the doorbell, hesitating about whether to press it.
“En?” Lin Nuan pointed at that lady outside their suite. “Fu Huai’an, did another pretty lady come to look for you?”
Fu Huai’an was rendered speechless.
The drunk Lin Nuan had poor eyesight. What pretty lady? That was clearly Chu Xun!
Hearing Lin Nuan’s voice, Chu Xun turned her head around…
She held tightly onto the document file Old Madam Fu had handed her. Seeing Fu Huai’an come back with a flushed Lin Nuan, she realized Lin Nuan might be drunk. Her body stiffened. She tried to smile, but she couldn’t make herself do it.
Towards Lin Nuan, Chu Xun’s initial guilt had slowly turned to hatred.
Lin Nuan felt the same way towards Chu Xun.
After realizing it was Chu Xun, the drunk Lin Nuan didn’t bother to mask her emotions. She snickered…
Chu Xun had always dressed like a strong woman with a successful career, rarely dressed up in this “girl-next-door” style that she had chosen today.
She wore a black tight-fit V-neck T-shirt and a navy blue batwing sleeve knitted coat with contrasting red pockets. Below were long black pants that revealed her slim ankles, and a pair of white sports shoes. Her long chestnut-colored curls hung loosely, and the eyes under that airy fringe appeared not as fierce as usual, seeming gentler.
Lin Nuan had always been polite to Chu Xun. This was the woman who once stripped naked in front of her husband and asked but failed to get him to make love to her. If it were another woman… seeing her appear at their door, they would undoubtedly give her a good scolding or beating.
Lin Nuan’s upbringing could be considered excellent. After all, she merely snickered at Chu Xun when she was drunk.
That snicker was extra piercing to Chu Xun’s ears.
Her vision fell to Fu Huai’an’s large hand, which was on Lin Nuan’s shoulder. Chu Xun retracted her gaze and looked at Fu Huai’an, saying in an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry that my cousin caused so much unhappiness, that kid’s young and spoiled. I’ve already lectured her.”
Then, without waiting for either of them to speak, Chu Xun hurriedly raised the thick file that Old Madam Fu gave her to give to Fu Huai’an. “Old Madam Fu asked me to hand you this!”
The bright lighting of the hotel shone upon the file, which Lin Nuan thought looked a tad familiar. It was as if she had seen this file somewhere…
Lin Nuan realized what was inside, and her dim yet bright eyes turned towards Chu Xun.
She laughed as she said, “Old Madam Fu has been gone for so many days, so why is President Chu only remembering to hand this file over to us now? Has President Chu seen the contents?”
Lin Nuan was clearly drunk, to the point that her body leaned lifelessly against Fu Huai’an’s, yet her tongue was still so sharp.
Lin Nuan’s words were to the point, piercing Chu Xun’s heart directly.
This was the reason Chu Xun had hesitated.
Old Madam Fu asked her to pass this on, but Chu Xun couldn’t help but steal a look.
What Chu Xun saw gave her a scare.
Inside were all of the assets under Old Madam Fu’s name. She had signed the documents for these assets to be transferred entirely to Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan.
The reason Chu Xun hesitated to hand the file over to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an was that she was trying to guess Old Madam Fu’s intentions.
She had already told the Chu family that Fu Huai’an likely no longer wished to take over the Kaide Corporation. Chu Xun’s father asked her to test him one last time, so she decided to come after all that hesitation.
“Since Grandma Fu handed this to me, I naturally know what’s inside…” Chu Xun deliberately answered in a vague manner and only spoke to Fu Huai’an. “Huai’an, my father asked me to tell you that he’s willing to transfer all of his Kaide Corporation shares to you at market price, but that’s only the shares my father holds. He can’t make the decision on others’ behalf.”
Chu Xun’s heart was palpitating…
If Fu Huai’an accepted this, it meant he had his own plans for the Kaide Corporation.
If he refused it, then things would get really tricky.
Fu Huai’an gave a slight smile as he took the file from Chu Xun’s hands. “Does Chairman Chu regard me as a garbage collection center?”
Chu Xun paused. “No, that’s not what my father meant. My father thought you might have plans for the Kaide Corporation, so…”
“So he sent you to test me?” Fu Huai’an didn’t spare her any face and exposed her just like that.
“That’s not the case!” Chu Xun shook her head and explained. “Because of Tianci openly insulting me, my father has already completely fallen out with Grandpa Fu. He said that if you have plans for the Kaide Corporation, our Chu family will lend our full support. So if you have a use for the Kaide Corporation shares, my father is willing to transfer them to you at market price.”
“Then, I thank Chairman Chu for his kind intentions!” Fu Huai’an’s deep gaze was calm and unfathomable. “However, I no longer need Kaide Corporation shares.”
Gazing at Fu Huai’an’s cold and stern features, Chu Xun’s hands clenched by her sides. She summoned all of her courage before speaking up. “Are we no longer able to remain friends because of what happened at Tianfu Bay?”
The color of blood drained from Chu Xun’s cheeks at exposing her own scars like this. Her heart was feeling panicked.
She shouldn’t have asked it like that; it was too rash of her. Once Fu Huai’an answered that… it would be as good as completely pushing her feelings for him into a blind alley.
Fu Huai’an remained standing there, with a half-drunk Lin Nuan in his arms. He carefully shielded her, which was a stark contrast to the cold way he gazed at Chu Xun.
He said, “You’ve exceeded the bottom line as friends.”
Fu Huai’an’s voice was magnetic and had a demonic charm, yet it spoke the harshest and most hurtful words.
Chu Xun felt that she had forced herself into a dead end.
