Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 16: What Right Did She Have to Look Down on Fu Huai’An?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Chen gazed deeply into her eyes.

It required considerable courage from Lin Chen to say what he just did.

Previously Liang Mulan had informed Lin Nuan that if she didn’t like Sir Gu from the Gu family, perhaps she could consider being with Lin Chen. Then everyone could be from the same family, and Lin Nuan would be her daughter, just…. by another identity.

At that time, Lin Nuan assumed it was merely Liang Mulan’s wishful thinking since she was too protective of her.

But hearing Lin Chen ask that very question, Lin Nuan felt genuinely startled.

“We’ve lived together for so long as a family. We have the same habits, we know everything about each other…” As Lin Chen took his time to persuade her in his deep voice, Lin Nuan noticed he was hiding something behind his expression.

“Brother…” Lin Nuan fell silent for a moment. “You don’t have to do this for Mother…”

Lin Nuan didn’t know the right words to say in that situation—she never rehearsed beforehand in her heart. With a lump in her throat, she couldn’t utter a single word.

Lin Chen’s gaze grew even more serious. He didn’t look one bit like he was joking, only calm and determined.

Lin Nuan’s fluttering heart began to settle down. She replied, “Brother, I know you and Mother both have the same plan—to make me a member of the Lin Family. But you need to know that even though we aren’t related by blood, I’ve always seen Mother as my own mother, and you as my real brother. I… wouldn’t change that for anything in the world.”

Lin Nuan was smart—she always was. And she made a perfect point.

“If that’s the case, why won’t you come home? Hm?” Lin Chen tried to repress a flash of anger from his voice.

“Because… it’s awkward,” Lin Nuan replied honestly, “Facing Lin Ran… It’s even more awkward.”

The kind of awkwardness that felt terrifying…

Without waiting for Lin Chen to reply, Lin Nuan put on an indifferent tone, “Brother, you definitely won’t imagine who I brought home to marry—it’s Fu Huai’an! Did you know, he’s got quite a reputation in the lawyer world.”

Lin Chen couldn’t maintain a composed expression anymore. His eyebrows slowly knitted together.

Since Lin Nuan was so eager to reveal the person she was marrying, it was evident to Lin Chen; she was determined to make it clear that she objected to marrying him.

“Well, Fu Huai’an has a reputation that exceeds more than just the lawyer world, doesn’t he?”

Fu Huai’an had kept a low profile for a whole year. Three years ago he suddenly appeared on Wall Street in America as a lawyer. His transformational business tactics left people in awe. Some predicted that he would come to control Wall Street in no longer than a year’s time, which had caused quite the commotion.

When he returned to his homeland with his son, he stopped taking cases, leaving all lawyer-related matters to his partners to settle while he himself delved into high-risk investments. Nearly all the new trending projects in recent years were funded by him.

Lin Chen recalled a commentary on Fu Huai’an written in the Economy Times. The passage elaborated considerably on Fu Huai’an’s adroit and fiercely accurate vision. Even Lin Chen had to admit it; he possessed a cunning intellect.

“So Lin Nuan’s actually going to marry Fu Huai’an of all people?”

A man with a child…

Lin Chen’s forehead began to wrinkle like a raisin. How on earth did Lin Nuan come to know a man like Fu Huai’an?

“Nuan Nuan, this man already has a kid,” Lin Chen said with pure anger written all over his face.

Lin Nuan gave a faint laugh. ” And my own mother has a mental illness.”

Her implication was that Fu Huai’an had never looked down on her, so what right did she have to look down on Fu Huai’an?

Lin Chen really wanted to explain that he didn’t mind her having a mentally disabled mother. In fact, nobody in his family would ever look down on Lin Nuan.

Of course… except for Lin Ran.

However, Lin Nuan had already made it very clear that she saw Lin Chen as a brother—and nothing more.
