Chapter 542: Redress

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Nuan wobbled and fell into Fu Huai’an’s embrace. Her phone dropped to the floor, and that middle-aged woman pounced over to snatch it and shouted loudly, “Fu Qingquan! Old Master Mu! You need to redress the injustice our Mu Guangpu suffered!”

She suddenly shouted loudly, astonishing many people and causing the people close by to look over.

Fu Tianci’s face turned extremely black.

Secretary Song squeezed his way through the crowd and quickly asked, “President Fu, what’s going on?”

Recognizing that Secretary Song was the person who welcomed the guests with Fu Qingquan at the door, the middle-aged woman hugged her daughter, who was scared speechless, and cried out, “You must let Old Master Fu take this grandson in hand! Our Mu Guangpu is Mu Mantong’s cousin! To think that Fu Huai’an crippled Mu Guangpu and made him impotent! My daughter and Mu Guangpu haven’t had a child yet! How are we going to live? This Fu Huai’an just wants the Mu family to have no descendants!”

Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.

Was there any use in snatching the phone? The video was still on the phone… Was it alright not to delete it? And even if it really was deleted, Lin Nuan had already sent a copy to Fu Tianci.

Did this person really think that she would have nothing to fear now that she had managed to snatch the phone?

Fu Huai’an was enjoying the commotion. He protected Lin Nuan tightly in his embrace, and the corners of his lips curled up into a hint of a smile.

“I can really find no words to describe this stupid woman…” Fu Tianci rolled up his sleeves, preparing to snatch back the phone.

Lin Nuan pulled Fu Tianci back. “Show the video to Old Master Mu!”

“The phone is in someone else’s hands!”

Secretary Song stood at the side and was confused by the situation.

“I just sent a copy to you…”

Fu Tianci was stunned upon hearing Lin Nuan’s words.

More people gathered, holding their wine cups and prepared to watch a show.

Secretary Song didn’t want the matter to be blown up, so he headed into the resting room. “President Fu, why don’t we go in first? It’s not too good to let others see this as a joke!”

Fu Huai’an nodded. “Then Secretary Song can go in first…”

Secretary Song was rendered speechless.

He meant that they should go in together! What was the point of him entering alone? The other person was pestering Fu Huai’an and getting him to be the mediator, yet Fu Huai’an was pushing him in? What kind of reasoning was this?

“Secretary Song, Grandpa Fu told me to come over and check out what’s happening.”

Lin Nuan turned and saw Chu Xun, who was dressed in a black evening gown that showed off her waist. She came walking over in high heels with a graceful demeanor.

Today was a vivacious day! Even Chu Xun had come…

Chu Xun nodded toward Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an, then looked solemnly toward Secretary Song, asking, “What happened?”

Expectedly, that middle-aged woman cried out her grievances once again. However, this time, she was pointing toward Lin Nuan. “She even threatened us, mother and daughter, trying to stop us from mentioning a word of this outside. She also prompted Young Master Fu to beat us up!”

Lin Nuan had been standing there, not saying anything. Who would have expected that the blame would be thrown at her out of nowhere?

Chu Xun turned and looked towards Lin Nuan in an inquiring manner.

The others watching also felt that Lin Nuan, being Fu Huai’an’s wife, would be defensive of him in a situation like this. It was highly possible for her to threaten another person in order not to let the matter blow up.

“Can you return the phone that you snatched from me before saying this? Let’s show everyone how I threatened you to the extent that my phone ended up being in your hands!”

Lin Nuan didn’t look at Chu Xun but looked at that middle-aged woman with a shadow of a smile. Her voice was clear as she said, “You secretly prompted your daughter to stir up trouble at the engagement party between the Mu family and the Fu family. You even egged her on to seduce my husband. Do you think that my husband is blind, or do you really think that your daughter is as beautiful as a fairy?”

“You’re spouting rubbish!” The middle-aged woman refused to admit it.

“Putting aside whether or not I’m spouting rubbish, do you dare return my phone to me and show everyone the video on it?” Lin Nuan wasn’t anxious at all and spoke very calmly and slowly.

The middle-aged woman grabbed firmly onto the phone. Under everyone’s gazes, she wasn’t able to delete the video. Instead, she clenched onto the phone tightly and said, “Who says that this is your phone?”

Even Fu Tianci was laughing in amusement. “I’ve always thought that I was shameless, but I didn’t expect that there would be people even more shameless than me!”

Lin Nuan looked toward Chu Xun. “Since Old Master Fu had President Chu come over to take a look, why doesn’t President Chu invite Old Master Fu and Old Master Mu over? I sent a copy of the video to Tianci earlier!”

Lin Nuan turned her gaze toward the mother and daughter in the room. “Why don’t… we show the video to Old Master Fu and Old Master Mu then talk about who’s in the right and who’s in the wrong?”

“Alright! I’ll head upstairs and get my phone!” Fu Tianci wasn’t afraid of blowing the matter up. As he said this, he moved to look for Lu Qingmei to get his phone.

“Ms. Lin!” The younger lady called Lin Nuan anxiously. “My mother is in the wrong over this matter! We’re planning to leave right away. You… you shouldn’t kick up too much of a fuss!”

“You guys are planning how to snatch my husband and yet I shouldn’t kick up a fuss? How magnanimous would I have to be to do that?” Lin Nuan turned to look at Chu Xun. “Isn’t that right, President Chu?”

Lin Nuan had always maintained a smile and spoke with a soft voice, but she didn’t show any mercy in her words at all.

The Lin Nuan today was different from usual. She appeared very sharp.

Chu Xun didn’t dare to challenge Lin Nuan head-on in front of Fu Huai’an. Furthermore, she had no idea if it was because she had a guilty conscience, but when she heard Lin Nuan’s words, she kept feeling that there were innuendos hidden within.

Chu Xun’s hand, which was holding onto her bag, clenched a little. “I’ll go get Grandpa Fu and Old Master Mu!”

“I don’t want to argue with a bunch of kids! Let’s go!” The middle-aged woman couldn’t hide the guilty look on her face, but she pretended to remain calm as she pulled her daughter, wanting to leave.

Fu Huai’an stood at the door, not planning to give way. The corners of his lips curled up into a hint of a smile, and the middle-aged woman didn’t dare to push her way through.

At this moment, Lin Nuan spoke up, saying, “Madam, you’re thinking of leaving after having snatched someone’s phone?”

“What’s this ruckus about?” Fu Qingquan’s voice sounded firm.

Chu Xun, Lu Qingmei, and Fu Tianci followed behind Fu Qingquan. Mu Mantong’s father, Old Master Mu, was standing next to Fu Qingquan as well. Although Mu Mantong’s father was also addressed as Old Master Mu… he was over ten years younger than Fu Qingquan and appeared to be more robust.

The group headed over, and even Mu Mantong, who was in her wheelchair, had followed them there.

Lin Nuan’s gaze landed on Mu Mantong, and she was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected that Mu Mantong would still look like a kid. This was especially so because her eyes were remarkably clear.

When Fu Qingquan asked this, his gaze landed on Lin Nuan, as if she was the one creating trouble.

“I was just about to look for Grandpa Fu when I met them heading over…” Chu Xun explained to Fu Huai’an.

“What’s this ruckus about?” Fu Tianci smiled and said, “This is an interesting question! Someone wishes to mess up the engagement between Mu Mantong and myself, wanting her son-in-law to succeed the Mu family!”

Fu Tianci had already brought out his phone that he had gotten back from Lu Qingmei. He tapped open the video and showed it to Old Master Mu.
