677 When Did I Give You the Wrong Impression That I Have a Good Temper?

\"Fu Huai'an, your net worth is a widely-speculated mystery. Back when you were on Wall Street, it was said that you owned half of Wall Street. Since you have such vast wealth, why do you insist on claiming the Kaide Corporation?\"

\"Because I'm different from Fu Cheng. I won't quietly leave when you discover that you have a son and wish to kick me to the curb after I've outlived my usefulness…\" Fu Huai'an's low and deep voice sounded solemn. \"When did I give you the wrong impression that I have a good temper?\"

Fu Qingquan's hand slapped the desk before tightening into a fist. He was so mad that even his lips were trembling.

Fu Qingquan understood everything. Since Fu Huai'an could be so frank with him, telling him that he held the largest percentage of the Kaide Corporation apart from himself, it meant that Fu Huai'an was bent on obtaining the Kaide Corporation! It was no longer something Fu Qingquan could easily stop!

Fu Qingquan felt all of the strength drain from his body, every inch of him reminding him of the sad fact that he really had grown old.

…

The lake water that carried a stench came at him from all corners, entering Tuan Tuan's mouth mercilessly. He struggled to emerge from the water, to get an opportunity to breathe, to shout for his mama, but before he could make a sound, the lake water entered his mouth and nostrils mercilessly!

Tuan Tuan was terrified…

\"Ma… Mama!\"

The minute he shouted those words, his voice was swallowed back into his mouth by all of the lake water entering his mouth. That feeling of despair, that suffocating sensation, it pulled Tuan Tuan into the pitch darkness.

Next to the man-made lake that exuded antique beauty at the Fu family mansion, a tall and a short child were standing by the shore, laughing as they watched the little boy struggling in the lake that wasn't actually very deep.

\"Sis, look, he looks so dumb! The water is obviously not that deep…\" Fu Mingming pointed at Tuan Tuan, who was struggling in the water, as he laughed.

The corners of Fu Xinxin's lips turned up in a smile too. Those clean and clear eyes carried a hint of sarcasm. She knew Tuan Tuan's father had snatched the company from her father, so she hated Tuan Tuan's father!

Since Fu Xinxin was unable to harm the man that snatched her father's company, she wanted to inflict harm upon that man's child. From the bottom of her heart, she hoped… that this child would just drown in the lake!

If the man who snatched away her father's company found out that his son was dead, he'd surely be devastated! Papa would be glad to see that! Fu Xinxin's eyes sparkled as she watched the struggling Tuan Tuan in the lake.

\"I'll go pull him up…\"

Fu Mingming was about to go pull Tuan Tuan up when Fu Xinxin grabbed him by the elbow…

Fu Mingming looked up at his own sister. \"Sis?\"

\"Mingming, you're so young yourself. What if you fall into the lake when you go over and try to pull him up?\" Fu Xinxin grabbed her younger brother's wrist. \"Also, this child's father snatched our father's company! If this child dies, his father will surely be devastated! We're helping Papa take revenge. Papa will be happy to see this!\"

The six-year-old Fu Mingming couldn't fully understand his older sister's words, but he understood it when she said Papa would be happy!

Fu Mingming nodded his head obediently, standing with Fu Xinxin as they watched Tuan Tuan struggle in the lake, the surface reflecting the red lights from the lanterns in the dark.

\"Tuan Tuan!\"

When Lin Nuan saw Tuan Tuan struggling in the lake, her heart was twisted into the shape of a pretzel. She was so freaked out that her chest felt like it was about to jump out of her ribcage. She jumped into the lake and grabbed the frantically struggling Tuan Tuan.

The weather was cold, and Tuan Tuan was dressed warmly. The weight of the water increased Tuan Tuan's weight, and Lin Nuan was almost unable to support that weight.

A warm and large hand pulled him up. When Tuan Tuan opened his eyes wide and saw Lin Nuan, he grabbed hold of Lin Nuan's neck with abandon.

\"Cough, cough, cough, cough…\"

Tuan Tuan was choked by the lake water and kept coughing. He hugged Lin Nuan tightly, doing so as if his life depended on it. \"Ma… cough, cough, cough… Mama! Cough, cough, cough…\"

Hearing the sound of Tuan Tuan coughing and recalling the helpless and desperate look in his eyes when he was struggling in the water, Lin Nuan felt her heart being torn to shreds.

Thankfully she had insisted on coming out to look for Tuan Tuan!

Otherwise, Lin Nuan dared not even imagine whether Tuan Tuan would continue to struggle and not be rescued from the chilly lake!

\"Everything's okay now! It's okay now! Mama is here! Mama is here!\" Lin Nuan didn't know if it was the lingering fear or the cold weather that caused her voice to tremble.

Su Manman looked at the two kids who were standing by the lake. Seeing the older sister grabbing her younger brother and trying to leave, Su Manman looked at them sternly. \"Who said you could leave?\"

Fu Xinxin had an impression of this older cousin of hers, Su Manman.

After all, when Fu Xinxin went abroad with her family, she was already five, so she more or less had some impression of her. Plus, Su Manman was an international superstar, so Fu Xinxin couldn't possibly forget her.

Su Manman had always been arrogant at home. It was the same persona she presented to the public and in front of her fans. Fu Xinxin was but a nine-year-old child, so it was impossible for her not to be afraid of Su Manman.

Lin Nuan carried Tuan Tuan and moved towards the shore. Su Manman didn't mind dirtying her shoes, and she stepped in the mud and reached out a hand to Lin Nuan, helping pull Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan up.

Lin Nuan's coat was already drenched. Su Manman removed her own coat and covered Tuan Tuan with it. \"The little one?\"

Tuan Tuan buried his head in Lin Nuan's neck and had his arms tight around it, holding on as if his life depended on it. His coughing had eased, but his little body was still shivering quite badly.

Lin Nuan's clothes were drenched too. Add to that the cold wind, and she also kept shivering.

\"Mama, necklace!\" Tuan Tuan said in a choked voice and turned his head towards Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming, shivering. \"Neck… necklace!\"

With a glance, Lin Nuan saw the necklace hanging around Fu Mingming's neck. That was the necklace Shu Xin gave her when Lin Nuan attended the talk show—Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan each had one.

As if fearing Lin Nuan's fierce glare, Fu Mingming subconsciously shrunk behind his older sister, yet he couldn't resist poking his head out from the side to peek at Lin Nuan…

Lin Nuan didn't need to ask. She could simply guess what had happened!

It wasn't as if Lin Nuan didn't hear Fu Xinxin's words about how devastated Fu Huai'an would be if Tuan Tuan were to die.

Holding back the urge to slap those two kids, Lin Nuan tightly embraced the shivering Tuan Tuan, her gaze revealing her desire to torment those two kids.

Su Manman, who was following behind Lin Nuan, didn't hear Fu Xinxin's words about wanting Tuan Tuan to die. However, when Tuan Tuan mentioned the necklace, she also saw the necklace hanging around Fu Mingming's neck.

Fu Mingming clutched the pendant before his chest, a fearful look in his eyes.

Fu Xinxin was, after all, a little older. Without waiting for Lin Nuan and Su Manman to question her, she spoke up first, saying, \"Tuan Tuan fell into the water. The servant following us went back to get us some snacks. My younger brother and I are too young, so we dared not try to save him. We were scared that we might land in the water too. Sorry, Aunt!\"

Fu Xinxin lied without blushing or having her heart rate increase.

Just then, the servant who went back to get snacks for them returned with their mother. They were chatting and laughing as they walked towards them.

Seeing his mother approach, Fu Mingming immediately ran towards his mother, jumping into her embrace. \"Mama!\"
