The four of them exited from the mall and went straight to the hospital.

On the way there, Fu Huai’an asked Little Lu to call the hospital and check whether Old Madam Fu’s condition had stabilized or if she was in a critical condition.

Seated on the speedboat, You Nainai kept looking backward, vaguely feeling that… among those following them, there was a group that made her feel a sense of danger.

…

In the ward, Old Madam Fu was breathing in oxygen lying on the bed. She looked really pale, completely drained of the color of blood.

Only after breathing in the oxygen did Old Madam Fu appear better than she previously did. She rested on the bed in exhaustion as she thanked Chu Xun. “Chu Xun, if you hadn’t arrived at the hotel in time, I’m afraid my old life would have ended here! Thank you…”

Chu Xun shook her head, holding Old Madam Fu’s dry and withered hand, her eyes reddened. She said in a gentle voice, “Things aren’t as exaggerated as Grandma put it. The doctor said it himself, you’re merely too tired and in need of rest! It’s my bad… I didn’t stop Grandma from coming over to Venice. If I had stopped you, you would be resting properly at home, and none of this would have happened!”

Old Madam Fu had instructed her assistant to handle some matters and was alone in the hotel room when everything happened. She had started to feel breathless and began feeling increasingly awful, as if she was going to suffocate at any moment.

Thankfully, Chu Xun came in time. Right after Old Madam Fu opened the door, she collapsed to the ground. Chu Xun received a scare and frantically called for the hotel’s butler to come and help send her to the hospital.

When Old Madam Fu heard the words “resting properly,” there was an indescribable disappointment in her eyes.

“How am I to rest properly? Huai’an suddenly washed his hands of everything, and the Kaide Corporation is in a mess now. I really don’t know what bewitching potion that slut Lu Qingmei has been feeding to Fu Qingquan for him to hand her control of the Kaide Corporation. It’s okay if Huai’an is acting out of spite now, but I fear that by the time he wants to return to the Kaide Corporation, he will have been turned into a figurehead!”

Old Madam Fu couldn’t help but be anxious when she spoke of this, which caused her breathing to become faster again.

Chu Xun hurriedly soothed Old Madam Fu’s chest, speaking words of comfort…

“Grandma, Huai’an has always been filial. When you see Huai’an later, talk with him nicely, and he will surely be willing to listen to you!”

Old Madam Fu sighed.

She knew Chu Xun was saying this to console her. Although she and Fu Huai’an were related by blood… for some reason, there seemed to be a distance between them; it was a sensation that made Old Madam Fu feel terrible.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This time, it’s because Lin Nuan was removed from the program ‘A Sunday Date’ and had nothing better to do at home. Perhaps Huai’an wanted to bring Lin Nuan on vacation, so he decided to take a long break!”

At the mention of this, Chu Xun gazed at Old Madam Fu with a look of self-recrimination. “It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t acceded to the sponsor’s request and removed Lin Nuan from the show, she wouldn’t have wanted to take an overseas vacation, and Huai’an wouldn’t have abandoned the Kaide Corporation to come to Venice.”

Old Madam Fu originally had a good impression of Lin Nuan, but ever since she came to know of Lin Nuan’s parentage, she grew to dislike her.

Even now, Old Madam Fu remembered the time she went to look for Lin Nuan…

She wasn’t so old-fashioned as to ask Lin Nuan to leave Fu Huai’an, she merely asked her not to reveal their marriage for the time being. But Fu Huai’an was unhappy about it.

Later, they even announced their marriage on the Internet in a high-profile manner.

Towards Chu Xun, Old Madam Fu felt guilty!

Originally, Chu Xun and Fu Huai’an were a couple that the elders had set their minds on, and it was a tacit agreement that Chu Xun and Fu Huai’an would eventually marry.

Who knew Lin Nuan would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

When Chu Xun’s mother called Old Madam Fu, Old Madam Fu was so embarrassed that she didn’t even know what she should say.

But this kid Chu Xun didn’t mind, even treating her like she always did!

When she called Chu Xun for help later, Chu Xun agreed to help without a second word!

Also, this time, when Chu Xun sent her to the hospital, Old Madam Fu could tell that the concern in her eyes was genuine.

Old Madam Fu patted Chu Xun’s hand. “You were just acting following the TV station’s rules. You did nothing wrong!”

Chu Xun’s eyes turned slightly red.

“On the other hand, never mind that Lin Nuan isn’t able to help Huai’an, but she even added on to his troubles! How could she pester Huai’an to accompany her to travel at a time like this! She’s really…”

The minute that Old Madam Fu thought of Lin Nuan, her chest began heaving up and down violently.

Old Madam Fu clearly knew that Lin Nuan had a special position in Fu Huai’an’s heart. Even she couldn’t speak ill of Lin Nuan in front of Fu Huai’an.

She still vividly remembered the conversation with Fu Huai’an in his office, and his resolution to defend Lin Nuan.

Old Madam Fu wasn’t willing to fall out with Fu Huai’an because of one Lin Nuan. Lin Nuan lived with Fu Huai’an after all, so it was “out of sight, out of mind” for her.

On such a huge matter, even if Lin Nuan was wrong, Old Madam Fu could only think of ways to persuade Fu Huai’an and couldn’t speak ill of Lin Nuan.

Chu Xun gazed at Old Madam Fu; knowing that Old Madam Fu wasn’t fond of Lin Nuan, she felt a little better at heart.

“Did you manage to contact Huai’an?” Old Madam Fu asked after she calmed down.

Chu Xun shook her head, looking a little awkward. “This morning, my cousin and Lin Nuan had an unpleasant encounter. Huai’an got angry at me too, so I could only get in touch with Huai’an’s friend, Lu Jinnan. I think he will pass the message to Huai’an!”

Lin Nuan again!

Old Madam Fu felt vexed at the mention of Lin Nuan’s name. She had heard of that little cousin of Chu Xun’s, Chu Jiaoyang, who was known to be innocent, pretty, and child-like. If Lin Nuan could have an unpleasant encounter with someone like that, she must not be a simple character.

Before the pent-up Old Madam Fu could speak ill of her, she saw Fu Huai’an entering the ward with Lin Nuan…

Old Madam Fu swallowed those words back down.

“Huai’an!” Chu Xun got up, slightly upset at the sight of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an’s intertwined hands. She deliberately held back the sour sensation in her heart and spoke up without waiting for Fu Huai’an to ask anything, “The doctor said that Grandma Fu is merely too tired, that’s why she ended up in this state!”

Chu Xun turned her head around and took a look at Old Madam Fu. In Old Madam Fu’s presence, she said to Fu Huai’an in a low voice, “Old Madam Fu is so advanced in age, yet she has to worry about affairs at the Kaide Corporation. It’s indeed too tiring for her. Grandma Fu is here to persuade you to return to the Kaide Corporation. Stop making her worry. If you want to take a holiday, there are plenty of opportunities. But now…”

Chu Xun spoke haltingly, turning around to look at Old Madam Fu. She appeared to be in a difficult position, hoping Old Madam Fu would continue on her behalf.

Old Madam Fu understood Chu Xun’s intentions from her gaze, so she continued from where Chu Xun left off, saying, “But now isn’t the time! Huai’an… never mind if that woman Lu Qingmei takes over the Kaide Corporation. If this continues… the Kaide Corporation might not be able to hold up! What will it end up like back in your hands?”
