Tuan Tuan nodded hard, tiptoed, and wrapped his arms around Lin Nuan’s neck. He planted a kiss on her face and then turned flush red.
Lin Nuan smiled and pinched Tuan Tuan’s nose, worried that he’d be put at a disadvantage, so she said, “If you can’t find your teacher in time, just remember, don’t let yourself get hurt. Don’t be afraid. Papa and Mama are here for you! We won’t bully others, but we mustn’t be bullied either!”
Lin Nuan didn’t make things especially clear with Tuan Tuan. She tried to be more vague with the way she said it.
She only hoped that Tuan Tuan would be able to remember that no matter what happened, his own safety was the most important.
Tuan Tuan listened to what Lin Nuan said. Lin Nuan didn’t know if he hadn’t understood or if his reflex time was a little long. It was only after some time that Tuan Tuan firmed up his fair and clean skin and nodded solemnly. “En!”
“Little Candy, remember, if someone in school bullies you, then beat them up harshly! Don’t worry, Mama’s around! It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as they’re the ones who offended you first! If you win, Mama will beat up those who dare to come looking for trouble! If you lose… Mama will beat you up! Do you hear me?”
You Nainai purposely said this so that the other parent would hear her. Otherwise, people would think that their Little Candy was a pushover.
Little Candy answered crisply, “I got it!”
Looking at Little Candy, who was smiling sweetly…
Lin Nuan was rendered speechless.
Lin Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was no wonder that Little Candy had to keep transferring between kindergartens previously. They said that no kindergarten in Haicheng would dare to accept Little Candy anymore. This child was a tough one to begin with, and she even had such a tough mother!
Seeing the back views of Little Candy and Tuan Tuan holding hands, entering the kindergarten gallantly and in high spirits, Lin Nuan smiled without any awkwardness.
You Nainai glared fiercely at that parent from earlier.
That parent wasn’t as oppressive as You Nainai and returned to her car after throwing a fierce glare toward Lin Nuan and You Nainai, instructing her driver to leave quickly…
More and more cars that were sending children to school came, and it wasn’t good for You Nainai’s car to keep on being parked at the entrance. She glanced at her watch. “Then I’ll be making a move as well! I still have to go to work!”
Lin Nuan smiled and nodded. “Alright! Be careful when you’re driving!”
You Nainai heard Lin Nuan’s words, and before she could reply, she suddenly thought of something, and her ears instantly turned red.
You Nainai lowered her head and answered, then walked over to the driver’s seat. Her disposition was completely different from earlier when she seemed as if she was going to charge up and get into a fight.
The moment You Nainai entered her car, she grabbed tightly onto the steering wheel, feeling extremely vexed…
How could she have acted so strongly before Sir Fu’s wife earlier?
You Nainai’s fear toward Fu Huai’an was something that had gone on for a very long time. Even when she was in front of Lin Nuan, it felt as if Fu Huai’an’s lingering influence was present, resulting in her instinctively feeling awe toward Lin Nuan as well.
…
On the way back to Tianfu Bay, Lin Nuan unexpectedly received Lin Ran’s phone call.
When Lin Nuan saw that the call was from Lin Ran, she had a strange and unexplainable premonition…
Today was the day that Old Madam Lin was celebrating her birthday!
In the past, the Lin family would throw a great celebration for Old Madam Lin, let alone… Given that the Lin family had just been put through such an ordeal, they’d definitely be wanting to throw a grand celebration to drive away bad luck.
With Lin Ran calling her at this time, Lin Nuan could understand what her intentions were without picking up the call.
That morning, after Lin Ran and Lin Nuan spoke on the phone, a tiny and subtle change had taken place between the two of them. It wasn’t anything big, but the two of them could both sense it.
Lin Nuan looked out the window to where the streets kept on appearing to be moving in reverse, recalling how Lin Ran had been suppressing her voice as she broke out in tears at the end of their previous phone call.
Bringing her gaze back, she tucked the stray hair next to her eyes to the back and hugged her bag with her left hand. She then accepted the call, putting the phone next to her ear.
“Hello…”
“I won’t be going back for the banquet. If you wish to go, then just go ahead!”
Lin Ran went straight to the point and stated the reason for this call.
“Huai’an already got someone to send a gift in his name. I won’t be going. Even if you aren’t around, if I were to go… there will inevitably be others who will compare us and put us both in an awkward situation.”
Lin Nuan’s voice was clear and calm, so much so that Lin Ran was taken by surprise.
After a short moment of silence, Lin Ran once again heaved a sigh of relief at Lin Nuan’s calmness. She said honestly, “To be honest, I’m very happy to hear you say that you aren’t going! The reason I’m calling you is for Mom!”
Lin Nuan turned to look at the moving traffic outside. She rolled down the window and let the cool wind enter. She felt a lot more awake, but there was inevitably more noise sent through the phone.
She saw through her peripheral vision that Uncle Hu, who was driving, was looking at her through the rearview mirror. Lin Nuan looked to the front.
Uncle Hu quickly drew back his gaze, feeling uneasy.
Lin Nuan sounded very vague when she was making the call, and Uncle Hu thought that Lin Nuan was talking to her ex-lover. He was secretly hesitating about whether he should remind Mr. Fu.
“I’ve got it,” Lin Nuan replied.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be hanging up.”
Lin Ran was very direct, and Lin Nuan also said goodbye before hanging up the call.
She put her phone back into her bag and then rolled up the window.
Red light.
The car came to a gradual stop. And outside… the huge screen in Sunlight Square was playing a video that seemed to have been shot from a phone. It was Fu Tianci, whose face was covered in bruises.
Lin Nuan was a little surprised and rolled down the car window.
On the huge screen, Fu Tianci was standing on stage, and the angle of the shot was from the audience’s view, which was between two cameras.
Although Lin Nuan couldn’t hear what Fu Tianci was saying on stage, the screen was soon changed to a female anchor who was broadcasting entertainment news. A screenshot of Fu Tianci’s Weibo was displayed next to her.
Lin Nuan frowned and took her phone from her bag, opening up Weibo and searching for Fu Tianci’s Weibo account, “King of Haicheng.” The moment the page opened up, what she saw was a post on the top of the page that had been shared a crazy number of times.
[@King of Haicheng: I don’t know if this part will be cut out of tonight’s telecast, so I’m posting it here in advance…]
Lin Nuan concurrently rolled up the car window as she tapped the video to play it.
Fu Tianci was holding a microphone and standing on stage, pointing to his injuries while saying slowly, “These injuries were given to me by my father because he refuses to allow me to participate in the show. Haicheng TV Station’s President Chu was still cooperating with my father not long ago, wanting to chase me out and forbidding me from continuing to participate in the show! Although I don’t know what the producer said to President Chu Xun later on, I guess the reason I can continue to stand here on this stage is that… no matter how outstanding my performance is, I won’t be here for long! You won’t have many chances to listen to me sing. Let’s just make every song count! Isn’t that right, Old Wang?”
Fu Tianci suddenly called out, facing downstage with the microphone still next to his mouth. Fu Tianci walked off the stage and said while grinning, “Come, come, come… Before I sing, let me introduce you to our producer, Old Wang! This Old Wang is definitely not the same as the Neighbor Old?Wang?1?! He’s definitely an earnest Old Wang!”
The audience broke out into laughter after hearing Fu Tianci’s humorous words.
