686 Truly So Cold and Devoid of Emotions!

Fu Huai'an was present, so even though, in his heart, he felt that Tuan Tuan couldn't compare to his Tianci, he couldn't say something like that before him.

Lin Nuan looked at the way Fu Qingquan's face was tensed up and how he couldn't manage to say anything, and her impression of him worsened yet.

"Secretary Song, take the two kids upstairs first." Fu Qingquan gritted his teeth as he said this. It seemed like he had made up his mind to shield Fu Cheng's two kids.

Secretary Song had always feared Lu Jinnan. However, towards the smiley and respectful Little Lu that stayed by Fu Huai'an's side, Secretary Song had complete disregard.

"Little Lu, what are you waiting for?" Fu Huai'an's deep and charismatic voice carried with it an imposing effect.

Secretary Song halted in his steps and subconsciously looked towards Fu Qingquan…

"Huai'an! Are you opposing your grandfather?" Fu Qingquan questioned Fu Huai'an.

Fu Huai'an's gaze swept over Fu Cheng as he spoke at a leisurely pace, "You're making it sound more serious than it really is. Or do you feel that it's better to destroy their futures directly, and those of their parents, than to toss them into the lake and discipline them properly?"

Fu Huai'an was shutting Fu Qingquan up with his past misdeeds. Fu Qingquan tightened his hold on his walking stick…

"My son has suffered a grievance. As his father, surely I can't stand by and do nothing… What do you say?" Fu Huai'an looked deeply at Fu Cheng.

Fu Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, you don't have to be in a difficult position…"

"Fu Cheng!" Ye Ziqi hugged her two kids tightly and stared at Fu Cheng with an incredulous look. "You dare! I'll fight it out to the death with you!"

"Huai'an, it's a father's fault for not disciplining the child properly. This time, my kids are the ones in the wrong. But they're too young, so can I take the punishment in their place?" Fu Cheng sounded sincere.

Su Manman's grandfather, Fu Qingshui, couldn't stand by and watch any longer, so he spoke up, "Huai'an, forget it! Thankfully, Tuan Tuan is fine! It's a fortunate outcome to an unfortunate event!"

"Tuan Tuan's fever just subsided, and before he fully recovered, he was pushed into the lake on such a cold day. How can you call this fine? You sure are magnanimous, Grandpa!" Su Manman didn't even give face to her own grandfather, retorting back at him directly.

Fu Qingshui was speechless.

This granddaughter of his had been pampered to the skies and was lawless now!

Fu Huai'an stood beside the marble Chinese wall painting and didn't say a word. He gazed at Fu Cheng with a hint of a smile, both hands in his pockets. Under the unbuttoned black suit jacket, his white shirt was tucked into his trousers with a belt, giving him a strong and intimidating vibe.

Seeing this situation, without a second word, Fu Cheng removed his suit jacket…

"Papa! Papa, no!"

"Papa, no!"

Both of his kids tugged at Fu Cheng's shirt, looking pitiful with their teary faces.

Fu Cheng gritted his teeth, his masseter muscle being particularly apparent.

He placed his large hands on his two kids' heads and told them, "If you do something wrong, you need to receive punishment for it! You're both too young… so Papa will take the punishment in your place! But you must remember never to do something like this again!"

After kissing the kids on their foreheads, Fu Cheng got up. He looked towards Tuan Tuan, who was in Lin Nuan's arms, and flashed him a friendly smile. "Sorry to have frightened you!"

Fu Cheng was still considered a man. Although Old Madam Fu and the others urged him not to do it, on such a cold day, Fu Cheng really went ahead and jumped into the chilly lake, his head submerged underwater.

Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming were both so scared their little faces turned white. They cried and shouted for Fu Cheng to come back from the shore. If it weren't for Ye Ziqi holding them back, those two kids would have gone after Fu Cheng and jumped into the lake like he did.

After several seconds, Fu Cheng's head emerged from the water, and the two kids started crying even harder…

Fu Cheng had jumped in from the pavilion at the center of the lake. He swam to shore.

His hand had just touched the shore when Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming both broke free of Ye Ziqi and ran to the shore crying and shouting, wanting to pull Fu Cheng up.

Ye Ziqi also went up frantically, helping to pull the completely drenched Fu Cheng up from the water.

The servants brought Fu Cheng some blankets and clothes to cover him up with it.

Fu Cheng was so cold that his lips had turned a purplish-green. He was shivering all over, but he didn't forget to ask Ye Ziqi to drag the two kids away from him. He was completely wet, and if the kids were to run into his arms, they'd inevitably get wet themselves. On such a cold day, it was easy for children to catch the flu or a fever.

Su Manman, who had come along to watch the fun, sneered. Fu Cheng was indeed highly experienced at playing out this ruse of inflicting an injury on oneself to win the confidence of the enemy. When they were kids, Su Manman's older brother and other cousins had all suffered from this tactic of his.

Su Manman didn't expose Fu Cheng. She got a kick out of seeing him land in the water anyway…

…

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an didn't take Tuan Tuan to the lake to watch Fu Cheng jump into the water. Thankfully, Tuan Tuan had his own clothes at the Fu family mansion. After helping Tuan Tuan put on his coat and clothes, Lin Nuan prepared to take him home.

Tuan Tuan was standing at the entryway, sticking up his neck for Lin Nuan to help him button up his coat.

Even Tuan Tuan could tell that Lin Nuan was unhappy. He cocked his head sideways to see Fu Huai'an, who took Lin Nuan's coat from Little Lu's hands, then retracted his gaze. After Lin Nuan finished buttoning him up, he reached out one arm to hug Lin Nuan.

With the soft and tiny Tuan Tuan in her arms, Lin Nuan froze momentarily, then hugged him tightly, her eyes slightly red.

Actually, it wasn't that Lin Nuan really wished to toss Fu Cheng's two kids into the lake, it was just that, as the most senior elders in this family, shouldn't Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu have handled this matter in an impartial manner?

They were too obviously biased towards Fu Cheng's kids!

Lin Nuan didn't feel that this biasedness was because they loved Fu Cheng more. If that were the case, they wouldn't have made Fu Cheng give up his inheritance rights the minute they knew of Fu Huai'an's existence. They were biased towards Fu Cheng simply because he was more useful to them at the moment!

This Fu family mansion was truly so cold and devoid of emotions! There was only scheming and manipulation here…

Lin Nuan suddenly understood why Fu Huai'an's mother, Fu Wan, wanted to leave this family back then. She also understood why Fu Huai'an didn't seem to view dates like his mother's birthday with importance.

Perhaps… to Fu Huai'an, it was a date to reminisce about his mother. However, for Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu, it was an opportunity to test the waters with Fu Huai'an.

When Fu Huai'an expressed his intention to continue his vacation and not go back to help them clear up the mess, they chose to side with Fu Cheng because it'd be more advantageous for them!

Lin Nuan had sufficient reason to believe that if Fu Huai'an revealed the slightest intention to return to the Kaide Corporation today, Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu would definitely have sided with Tuan Tuan!

Such blood relationships were so hilariously ridiculous!

Lin Nuan's heart warmed up with Tuan Tuan in her arms. She propped up his little butt and stood up. Fu Huai'an then covered Lin Nuan with her woolen coat. He grabbed Lin Nuan's shoulders hard and said in his deep voice, "Don't worry, this matter isn't over yet…"
