540 Perspectives and Values Crumbled

Seeing that her daughter seemed to be a little moved, the middle-aged woman continued to persuade her, saying, "Moreover… when you see that Fu Huai'an, aren't you charmed at all? Look at all the distinguished people in Haicheng who have gathered here. Who can be compared with Fu Huai'an? Previously, weren't you telling me… that you heard that Fu Huai'an treats his woman especially well? In order to avenge his woman, he went ahead and smashed watches worth several hundred thousand! Don't you want to be the receiver of this good treatment? Make use of this matter and pester him! With how beautiful my daughter is, that Fu Huai'an might be enticed by you. As long as he sees you, given your alluring gaze and figure, it'll be…"

"Mother! You're going more and more overboard with your words!" The young lady was angered. "Fu Huai'an is already married!"

"So what if he's married! Is his wife prettier than you? Moreover, don't they say that there are only mistresses who don't put in the effort, but there aren't any marriages that can't be broken! Didn't you snatch Mu Guangpu from someone else in the past?" At the mention of Mu Guangpu, the middle-aged woman spat and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have let the two of you get married. I thought that the Mu family wanted to nurture Mu Guangpu and that he was a piece of gold, but who would have expected that this matter might not turn out well! That Fu Huai'an is more reliable. Regardless of whether he can get the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai'an's value will still be very high!"

"Mother! Stop it!" The young lady couldn't stand hearing this anymore.

"You have to give it a try! I've already analyzed it for you. This matter will only bring you good, and there won't be any harm to you! Even if Fu Huai'an doesn't take a liking to you! Then… you at least need to get him to compensate you 30 to 40 million! Don't you agree?"

Lin Nuan smiled coldly as she heard all of this from outside the door. She reached out her hand and pushed the door open.

The resting room's door was pushed open, and Lin Nuan stood outside, wearing a high-class tailor-made gown and a faint smile. Her V-neck gown was light yellow with embroideries, and she was holding onto her phone, smiling beautifully, making all the splendid decor in the room pale in comparison.

Lin Nuan put down her phone and smiled as she looked at the mother and daughter.

"It's you!" The middle-aged woman recognized Lin Nuan but wasn't surprised. "To think that you've come to the Fu manor as well! It seems that Old Master Fu didn't distinguish between people of different classes when he sent out invitations!"

The younger lady recognized Lin Nuan and was so frightened that her face had turned pale. Lin Nuan was Fu Huai'an's wife! She wondered if Lin Nuan had overheard their conversation earlier.

Other people might not know of the truth behind Mu Guangpu's injury, but his wife knew about it. Mu Guangpu had wanted to take liberties with Fu Huai'an's wife and ended up being crippled and becoming impotent!

"They really didn't pay attention to who they invited. To think that someone with crumbling perspectives and values, someone who would encourage her daughter to become a mistress, could also enter. It's really surprising!" Lin Nuan looked at the middle-aged woman with a shadow of a smile.

If this mother and daughter pair were talking about some other man, Lin Nuan would have let it pass. However, they were talking about Fu Huai'an, and this made Lin Nuan feel uncontrollable anger.

Fu Tianci had changed into his suit and come down. He tugged at his bow tie a little impatiently. To be honest, he didn't really like this kind of event…

The people looked as if they were all smiling at him, but everyone knew that they were secretly saying that he was an illegitimate child behind his back!

Fu Tianci had just passed by the corridor that connected to the temporary resting rooms. He took a few steps back, saw Lin Nuan standing outside one of the resting rooms, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lin Nuan raised her head and saw Fu Tianci, who was dressed in a white suit, walking toward her. Lin Nuan glanced at the mother and daughter in the resting room and then nodded toward Fu Tianci. "You're getting engaged today, so I brought Tuan Tuan here together with Huai'an.."

The countenance of the middle-aged woman in the resting room changed drastically.

This was especially so when she heard Lin Nuan mention "with Huai'an," her countenance turned extremely grim!

Who would have thought that she would be so unlucky and that the person she encountered turned out to be Fu Huai'an's wife! What would happen if Fu Huai'an's wife had overheard their earlier conversation?

Fu Tianci didn't notice that there were other people in the resting room as he stood in front of Lin Nuan with his brows furrowed tightly.

Fu Tianci felt uncomfortable at the mention of the engagement!

It had nothing to do with Mu Mantong. When Fu Tianci came down earlier, he overheard someone saying that he and Mu Mantong were quite compatible. One of them was an illegitimate child, while the other was a cripple who couldn't walk!

Fu Tianci wasn't the one who had chosen to become an illegitimate child!

It wasn't Mu Mantong's choice to not be able to walk either!

Why was it that these things became reasons for others to mock them? What kind of reasoning was this?

Fu Tianci's countenance was bad, so Lin Nuan asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Tianci shook his head and then tugged at his bow tie again, finally tugging it off. "What engagement party? It's just an event for other people to look at monkeys! I'm that monkey!"

This young master seemed angry. Someone must have infuriated him…

Fu Tianci turned his gaze and saw the mother-and-daughter pair in the resting room, whose faces had turned pale. He asked Lin Nuan, "What happened?"

Lin Nuan didn't hide anything as she smiled and said to Fu Tianci, "I came out of the room next door a while ago and overheard an interesting conversation, so I came over to take a look!"

Fu Tianci was no fool, and he naturally sensed that something wasn't right. He threw a harsh gaze at the mother and daughter in the resting room and asked, "What interesting conversation? I'm in a bad mood, so why don't you say it and let me have a laugh as well?"

The mother and daughter were as silent as cicadas in the winter.

Letting her daughter make use of the fact that her husband had been rendered impotent by Fu Huai'an to get close to him… How could they possibly say that?

That middle-aged woman's mind turned very quickly, and she said anxiously, "What else could we have been talking about? That Fu Huai'an crippled my son-in-law and made him impotent! Tianci… our Guangpu is Mantong's cousin, and this is your Fu family's territory. We feel so aggrieved! You must go tell your father to get Fu Huai'an to give us an explanation for this! Otherwise, we'll make a big deal out of it!"

What kind of person was Fu Tianci? Putting aside the fact that he was protective of the people close to him, Fu Huai'an also had an important place in his heart. How could he not be enraged when he heard someone speaking badly about Fu Huai'an?

Without the intention to even ask anything, Fu Tianci put his hands into his pockets. "Make a big deal of things? Go ahead and show me how you're going to do it!"

"Do you really think that we don't dare to kick up a fuss in the Fu family's territory?" The middle-aged woman brought out her shrewish side.

The younger lady tugged at her mother. "Mother! Stop it! That's enough! Knock it off!"

This was Fu Tianci's engagement party, and if they were to make a big deal of things, it wouldn't be good for Fu Tianci. Lin Nuan didn't wish for this matter to blow up either. She tapped open her phone's video player and lifted the phone up toward the mother and daughter…

A video of the middle-aged woman's conversation with her daughter was played.

"All the better if we blow this matter up! You see… previously, people were saying that Old Master Mu made Guangpu change his surname to Mu because he had the intention of grooming him to become the successor of the Mus! This Mu Mantong is a cripple and cannot walk…"
