Mr Fu, I Really Love You Chapter 674 - Changed His Opinion of Fu Huai’an

Chapter 674 Changed His Opinion of Fu Huai’an
Lin Nuan was caught off guard and got a scare from Su Manman.
“Manman! What is this?” Su Manman’s grandmother smiled and chided Su Manman, her eyes fixated on the fair and tall Lin Nuan, clearly fond of her. “Thankfully, you’re at your grandaunt’s place. You’re not behaving like a proper lady at all. Look at how you’ve frightened Huai’an’s wife!”
Su Manman didn’t mind her grandmother’s chiding at all. She continued to speak with her hands around Lin Nuan’s neck, saying, “My grandma is your fan. She watches your shows at home!”
Lin Nuan looked at Su Manman’s grandmother. “Grandma, how do you do…”
“Great, great, great!” Su Manman’s grandmother nodded her head continuously, unable to conceal the smile in the corners of her eyes.
After learning about Lin Nuan’s past, Su Manman’s grandmother was incredibly impressed with this young lady’s courage, having gone to Iraq in search of someone. She didn’t care whether Lin Nuan had gone in search of Fu Huai’an or that Wen Moshen. The fact that she had the courage to head there was enough to impress her.
“This is Second Grandaunt!” After Fu Huai’an introduced Lin Nuan to Su Manman’s grandmother, grandfather, and parents, he introduced her to other people.
Lin Nuan had exquisite features, and her style was prim and proper. When she smiled, two dimples appeared by her lips, making her look sweet. Her voice was also pleasant-sounding and clean, making others feel comfortable hearing her speak, so the elders were rather fond of her.
Furthermore, regardless of whether the elders present liked Lin Nuan or not, all of them knew how much Fu Huai’an loved and doted upon her…
Back then, when the internet was bashing Lin Nuan most viciously, Fu Huai’an had stood out without hesitation to defend his wife, and all of them, the old antiques, knew about this!
Based on Fu Huai’an’s adoration of Lin Nuan, even if they didn’t like Lin Nuan, they couldn’t show their displeasures too blatantly.
Even Fu Qinghe, who had, all along, felt that Fu Huai’an was a wimp for retiring from the military and switching careers to become a lawyer and then later a businessman, changed his opinion of Fu Huai’an when he saw how Fu Huai’an stood out to defend Lin Nuan at that time. He felt that Fu Huai’an could be considered a man, to be able to protect his wife like that.
Fu Cheng’s two kids were seated by Old Madam Fu’s side, staring at Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan with their eyes wide open…
“Huai’an!” Fu Cheng called out to Fu Huai’an first.
Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s slim waist with one hand, then nodded at Fu Cheng before introducing Lin Nuan, “Fu Cheng…”
“Hi!” Lin Nuan nodded.
Fu Cheng smiled lightly at Lin Nuan, not being calculative with the fact that Fu Huai’an didn’t address him as Uncle, according to his seniority.
Fu Cheng knew his status in the Fu family. He, as an “Uncle”, had no blood ties with the Fu family, so he didn’t have a proper place in the family.
“Grandma, is this uncle part of our family too?” Fu Xinxin turned around and asked Old Madam Fu with an innocent look on her face.
Uncle?
Old Madam Fu looked at Fu Huai’an, who was sitting down and supporting Lin Nuan. She realized that, according to seniority, Fu Huai’an should be addressing Fu Cheng as Uncle, and Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming ought to address Fu Huai’an as Big Brother.
However, ever since Fu Huai’an met Fu Cheng, he had been calling Fu Cheng by his name. At the time, no one felt there was anything wrong with it, so no one corrected him!
Now that the child innocently addressed Fu Huai’an as Uncle, Old Madam Fu realized that this form of address was a little inappropriate.
Su Manman looked up at the innocent little girl, then glanced towards Fu Cheng…
She wondered whether Fu Cheng had taught her this or if the little girl was truly innocent and naive.
“We’re all family at the Fu family mansion today…” Fu Cheng smiled and explained to his daughter, then said, “Go to the kitchen and see if Mama is done preparing the soup for Grandma and Grandpa, okay?”
The two little ones said okay, then bounced out of the living room hand-in-hand following their father’s order.
“Housekeeper Ye, is dinner ready?” In order to avoid awkwardness, Fu Qingquan turned and spoke to Housekeeper Ye, still maintaining his posture as the head of the family.
“The chef said it’d take another 20 minutes,” Housekeeper Ye replied.
“No hurry, Big Brother, it has been a long time since we were able to sit here as a family and chit-chat…” Su Manman’s grandfather, Fu Qingshui, set down his teacup and smiled. He looked at Fu Huai’an and said in a sunny tone, “Huai’an, recently there have been rumors flying around that you’re planning to leave the Kaide Corporation. What’s going on? The share price has been declining because of this…”
Fu Qingshui held Kaide Corporation shares in his hands too, so naturally, he cared about this matter. Without waiting for Fu Qingquan to ask, he was the first to raise this question. He had no other intentions.
Fu Qingquan raised his teacup and feigned nonchalance as he blew at the hot air rising from the cup, all the while paying attention to Fu Huai’an in his peripheral vision.
Fu Huai’an took a teacup from a servant’s hands and glanced at the contents—it was longan red dates tea.
Only after setting the tea down by Lin Nuan’s hand did Fu Huai’an speak. He said, “Didn’t Fu Cheng hold a press conference?”
“But how could Fu Cheng’s press conference be as convincing as you personally explaining things? Moreover, that Lu Jinnan posted Tang Xi’s handwritten invitation on Weibo. A few days ago, you and Lu Jinnan even went to Jincheng to see Tang Xi…” Fu Qingquan took a sip of his tea before speaking.
Regarding the Kaide Corporation, Old Madam Fu felt anxious as well. She didn’t say a word and merely looked at Fu Huai’an…
Old Madam Fu didn’t wish to see the Kaide Corporation fall, and she also hoped that Fu Huai’an would personally explain things in order to stabilize the Kaide Corporation’s share price first. As for everything else, they could talk about it later.
Fu Huai’an met Fu Qingquan’s gaze with his deep and calm eyes. The bright chandelier lights in the living room made Fu Huai’an’s features appear all the more masculine and intimidating.
“Right after Fu Cheng finishes holding a press conference, you’re asking me to stand out and personally explain things. Isn’t this telling the media that I can’t wait to compete with Fu Cheng for the position of the Kaide Corporation’s successor? Or should I tell the media that what Fu Cheng said at the press conference doesn’t represent the Kaide Corporation?” Fu Huai’an spoke in a low and magnetic voice.
Fu Qingquan was shut up by Fu Huai’an’s words.
“Back then, we should have let Huai’an hold the press conference directly!” Fu Qingshui said to his older brother. “Big Brother, for you to directly ask Fu Cheng to hold the press conference, with his status as your adopted son, others would inevitably have speculations about the position of Kaide Corporation’s president. This would make matters worse!”
Fu Cheng frowned, looking as if he suddenly realized his mistake. His elegant and handsome face looked apologetic. “Blame this on me, it was my idea! At the time, we couldn’t contact Huai’an, and I thought since Huai’an was family, he wouldn’t truly be leaving for the Jiahe Corporation. So, I made the decision on my own and held the press conference. I hadn’t thought this far, it’s my mistake!”
“We can’t blame this on you. I know that you did it for the good of the company…” Fu Qingquan comforted Fu Cheng.
Su Manman, who was seated at the side, took one look at Fu Cheng and rolled her eyes internally.
Even back then, Su Manman couldn’t stand Fu Cheng. She always had the feeling that this person was overly pretentious.
No matter how outstanding Fu Cheng was in every area back then, Su Manman despised him…
