Lin Nuan turned back and was about to sit down when she saw Chu Jiaoyang biting her lip and looking at her with a heartbroken expression, seeming as if she would break down at any time. Her big glistening eyes stared at her without blinking as tears rolled down her cheeks…
“If it weren’t for you, Brother Huai’an wouldn’t have treated me this way! Brother Huai’an liked me! You’re just too jealous and intolerant! Brother Huai’an’s only treating me like this because you bewitched him…”
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Lin Nuan looked at Chu Jiaoyang and tried to contain her anger as she slowly said, “That’s funny, young lady! I know wives and concubines live together in the Chu family, but we’re not living in a feudalistic society anymore. Furthermore, if you put aside the fact that it’s now prohibited by law to have more than one wife and focus on the relationship alone?—if you really love someone, you will never allow women other than yourself to have even the tiniest place in his heart! You say I’m too jealous, and I admit that! But even if I weren’t… why must I tolerate you? Am I so stupid as to invite a woman to share my husband with?”
Chu Jiaoyang’s expression was that of someone who refused to listen. She continued accusing her as tears rolled down her cheeks. “It’s you who stopped Brother Huai’an from answering my call, from seeing me! If it weren’t for you, Brother Huai’an would have accepted me long ago! My mother even helped Aunt Xia back then… you, on the other hand, didn’t help me and even stopped Brother Huai’an! You’re a wicked woman!”
Lin Nuan wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
After what Chu Jiaoyang said, the spectators on the side watching the show could no longer sit still…
“This young lady seems seriously sick in the head!”
“How good did you think the Chu family’s genes were? Just look at Chu Xun! What modern career woman, what iron lady of the media industry? She still rushed to become someone’s mistress! In the end… that person turned her down. That’s a slap in the face!”
“There’s something wrong with this woman! You keep thinking about someone’s husband and expect the person to help you… d*mn! What logic is that? The Chu family has really opened my eyes! Are they all idiots?”
“You’re so pretty. Why do you want to become someone else’s mistress? I’ll let you become my wife, okay?” Someone made fun of Chu Jiaoyang.
“Stop playing around! She wants to become the mistress of the president of the Kaide Corporation. Who do you think you are?”
Everyone in the cafe burst into laughter…
Lin Nuan’s blood only boiled further. This young lady’s logic was too ridiculous!
One couldn’t underestimate the impact of the example set by her parents!
Chu Jiaoyang’s morals couldn’t be any more corrupt than this!
“I don’t owe the Chu family anything! Why must I help you snatch my husband away from me? Your argument is ridiculous!” Lin Nuan sneered angrily. “I won’t stop you from rushing to become someone else’s mistress! Everyone has their own interests, and I couldn’t care less. You wanted to become my husband’s mistress, but my husband didn’t accept you, and that’s my fault? Based on Miss Chu’s argument… if you can’t get into a good university, it’s the teachers’ fault for setting papers with questions that are too difficult for you to answer! If you don’t have money to buy clothes, it’s the wallet’s fault for not having the ability to generate more money as you spend it! If your car runs out of fuel when you’re driving it… is it the oil company’s fault for not sending fuel to your house after processing it and filling up your fuel tank?”
In the past, Lin Nuan rarely said such nasty things. In fact, she barely even talked!
First, it was Old Madam Fu, and now it was the Chu sisters. One by one, they sharpened Lin Nuan’s language ability!
The people in the cafe watching the show began to talk amongst themselves…
“The coffee tastes bad because of the cafe staffs’ aprons!”
“The cake tastes bad because the plate is ugly!”
“My goodness, this is much more interesting than?xiangsheng1! I’m laughing so hard… so hard that my stomach hurts!”
Outside the cafe, Tuan Tuan, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, held onto Fu Huai’an’s hand. He looked up at Fu Huai’an’s side profile, as if asking him if they should step inside.
Chu Jiaoyang had become a laughing stock. Tears welled up in her eyes as she heard the laughter of the spectators around her…
She choked up, and the finger she was pointing at Lin Nuan shook as she said, “You may be pretty now, but you will become old and worthless one day! When that happens, Brother Huai’an will definitely despise you! You can’t tolerate me now… so when that happens, I’ll definitely make Brother Huai’an not want you anymore! Just you wait!”
“You talk as if you won’t grow old one day. You’re now in your prime, but Lin Nuan’s husband still isn’t interested in you. Are you sure her husband’s tastes will suddenly become weird when you grow old, and he will like you instead?” Bai Xiaonian’s words cut like a knife and were merciless. “Little girl, were you invited here by a monkey to entertain us? Do you think Lin Nuan’s husband is your mother or as ridiculous as you?”
Chu Jiaoyang’s friends came back from cleaning up in the restroom. Their heads were lowered, and their eyes were red and swollen from crying. They heard Bai Xiaonian picking on Chu Jiaoyang so calmly and felt that, even with Chu Jiaoyang, they were no match for Bai Xiaonian…
The young lady whom Lin Ran had thrown coffee at bit her lip and walked over. She grabbed her bag and pulled Chu Jiaoyang back. “Let’s go, Jiaoyang! We’re not going to associate ourselves with these people!”
“Yeah!”
“Let’s go back! This place is for peasants!”
After Chu Jiaoyang’s two other friends said this, they pulled open the doors to the cafe…
A handsome man with a mature and stable aura walked in with an adorable tiny child in his arms.
Fu Huai’an was wearing a short black down jacket instead of a suit. He was tall, had long legs, and gave off a strong and intimidating vibe that couldn’t be ignored. Everyone’s eyes were on him as soon as he walked in.
The tiny child wore thick gloves. He wrapped one arm around the man’s neck and pointed in Lin Nuan’s direction with his other hand. He craned his neck to reveal his mouth from under his scarf. “Mama!”
Fu Huai’an looked in the direction the tiny dumpling-like child was pointing and smiled at Lin Nuan.
His faint smile caused his gaze to appear even deeper. Fu Huai’an rarely smiled, but he looked very attractive when he did.
Before Lin Nuan could respond, Chu Jiaoyang pulled her friend’s hand away from her with tears in her eyes and ran over to Fu Huai’an with a look of hurt on her face.
She looked up at Fu Huai’an and was about to wrap her slender arms around his waist, not caring if he was carrying Tuan Tuan. “Brother Huai’an! You’re finally here… They were going to bully me to death!”
Tuan Tuan saw this and quickly wrapped his arms around Fu Huai’an’s neck, turning to look at Chu Jiaoyang warily.
Fu Huai’an stood still and grabbed onto Chu Jiaoyang’s wrist with his gloved hand to stop her. He gently pushed her, causing Chu Jiaoyang to take a step back.
Chu Jiaoyang’s face paled as she looked at Fu Huai’an, looking as though she couldn’t believe what he just did…
His gaze towards Chu Jiaoyang was indifferent, and his voice was deep and intimidating. “Miss Chu, I’m not close to the Chu family, and I’ve only seen you a few times, and mostly at banquets. I don’t deserve to be addressed as ‘Brother’ by Miss Chu. Please address me as President Fu or Mr. Fu!”
“Br-Brother Huai’an!” Tears rolled down Chu Jiaoyang’s cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace.
Her clear and innocent-looking eyes welled up with tears. The sight was so pitiful it would make a person’s heart ache. She looked just like a lost, helpless deer.
Fu Huai’an looked past Chu Jiaoyang and walked towards Lin Nuan with Tuan Tuan in his arms…
“Why’d you bring Tuan Tuan out?” Lin Nuan asked Fu Huai’an.
“This is hilarious. She thought both of them were close! It turns out he’s only met her a few times!”
“Yeah, I thought they were close too. Hur hur… it was just her wishful thinking this whole time!”
“And she still had the cheek to make a scene in front of his wife. Nothing can be more ridiculous than this!”
“Who knew you could become someone’s mistress like this in this day and age. I really have to tip my hat to her…”
The people in the cafe discussed amongst themselves noisily. Fu Huai’an walked over to Lin Nuan, and Tuan Tuan immediately reached out to her. “Mama, carry…”
Lin Nuan reached out to carry Tuan Tuan and supported the tiny child’s little butt. Fu Huai’an said, “I was going to take Tuan Tuan to see your movie and boost ticket sales at the box office, but we went to two theaters, and they were both fully booked!”
This was odd, and Fu Huai’an had already sent someone to check on it…
He originally planned to take Tuan Tuan downstairs to eat some cake before heading back. He didn’t expect to see Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan by the window in the cafe.
Bai Xiaonian looked surprised. “I thought you did that! If it wasn’t you, then who was it?”
“It could be Manman’s admirer…” Lin Nuan smiled and said.
But it was undeniable that Lin Nuan thought of someone…
Li Muyang.
The thought of him fully booking the theaters immediately sent a chill down Lin Nuan’s spine.
Chu Jiaoyang, who had been neglected, bit her lip and stomped her foot. She said in an aggrieved manner, “Brother Huai’an…”
Bai Xiaonian looked over at her. She was absolutely speechless. “Miss Chu… he already said he’s not close to you. Why do you keep deluding yourself into thinking that someone’s husband is your biological brother! If Miss Chu is sick, please get it treated, okay? There are so many neurologists in Haicheng. I think there’s one in the Chu family too…”
“What do Brother Huai’an and I have to do with you? What gives you the right to interrupt?” Chu Jiaoyang stubbornly shouted at Bai Xiaonian.
“I’m Lin Nuan’s best friend and somewhat friends with Fu Huai’an. Meanwhile, you… you’re not even related to them at all. You just saw him a few times at banquets and then rushed to cling onto him and insist on being his mistress!” Bai Xiaonian seemed to be smiling, but she didn’t hold back on her words at all.
Bai Xiaonian leaned against the cafe table and smiled. “Many women begin to like Fu Huai’an after seeing him a few times at banquets. If all of them were as shameless as Miss Chu and rushed to become his mistress, Fu Huai’an would have so many mistresses that they would form a line from here to all the way over there. How far back does Miss Chu think she’d be standing?”
The sounds of the people in the cafe discussing amongst themselves lingered on. Their laughs and giggles taunted Chu Jiaoyang.
“The Chu family’s way of doing things is unbeatable. They’re all rushing to become other people’s mistresses…”
