Chapter 635 - He’ll Never Lower Himself To Others

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was like… there was a cloud of fog that was blocking Ji Yun’s face, only allowing her to see a vague silhouette!

Ji Yun should have been someone that Lin Ran was the most familiar with…

“En! Huai’an and I have brought Mom out.” Lin Nuan wasn’t like Lin Ran, who had intentionally emphasized whose mother Ji Yun was.

She said, “The hospital environment wasn’t very good, and Mom wasn’t given good care there, so Huai’an and I arranged for Mom to stay in a villa in the suburbs. It’s closer to the mountains there, and the air and scenery are both suitable for her recuperation. There are also specialized people who take care of her!”

Lin Nuan didn’t hear Lin Ran’s reply and smiled, saying, “If you wish to meet Mom, we can arrange to meet up somewhere tomorrow morning, and I’ll accompany you there! I have to attend a show in the afternoon and might not have time. Would tomorrow morning be convenient for you?”

Lin Ran lowered her gaze and nodded, only to realize that Lin Nuan couldn’t see her. She cleared her throat and replied, “Alright! We’ll make it tomorrow! It just so happens that I have things going on from the day after tomorrow as well. Let’s meet at Century Square!”

After confirming with Lin Ran, Lin Nuan hung up the phone and couldn’t help but smile.

Ji Yun would definitely feel very happy to see Lin Ran!

Lin Nuan had no idea if there would be a miracle for Ji Yun’s mental illness. She also had no idea if Ji Yun would be able to recognize Lin Ran when she saw her tomorrow…

However, Lin Ran’s willingness to meet Ji Yun meant that… she had let go of more things about the past!

…

In the afternoon, Auntie Li and Uncle Hu picked up Tuan Tuan from kindergarten. When he saw Lin Nuan preparing dinner in the kitchen, he put down his bag and ran over in surprise, hugging her leg. He raised his head and looked at Lin Nuan with a pair of bright eyes that were like black grapes. “Mama! Mama!”

Lin Nuan’s hands were covered in flour, and she didn’t wish to dirty Tuan Tuan’s uniform, so she smiled and used the back of her hand to touch Tuan Tuan’s small face and the tip of his nose. “Did you miss Mama?”

Tuan Tuan was embarrassed, and his ears turned red. He lowered his dense and thick lashes, nodded, and used his plump little hand to rub the part of his face where Lin Nuan had touched him. He then raised his moist and gleaming eyes and looked at Lin Nuan, replying seriously, “I did!”

The moment Auntie Li took off her coat and entered, she saw Lin Nuan kneading dough and quickly rolled up her sleeves. “Aiyah! Madam! How can I let you do such things? Let me do it, let me do it!”

When Auntie Li went to fetch Tuan Tuan, she mentioned that she was going to make handmade noodles in the afternoon. She hadn’t expected to see Lin Nuan already kneading the dough when she had just come back.

“Auntie Li, Tuan Tuan is already back. You take a break, and I’ll prepare dinner!” Lin Nuan stood up and said.

Seeing that Lin Nuan was in a good mood, Auntie Li didn’t wish to dampen her spirits. She nodded and then asked, a little worried, “Madam, do you know how to make handmade noodles? Have you done it before?”

Lin Nuan recalled that when Ji Yun made handmade noodles for her in that old, humid, and dark house that she had lived in previously, it didn’t seem to be that hard…

Lin Nuan was stumped by Auntie Li’s question and felt a little embarrassed. “It shouldn’t be… too difficult, right?”

Upon seeing Lin Nuan’s uneasy expression, Auntie Li chuckled and said, “Then let me knead the dough! This takes some skill, and Madam probably doesn’t know how to do it!”

Lin Nuan nodded. “Alright!”

Before attending tomorrow’s show to promote “The Exorcist,” Lin Nuan was going to bring Lin Ran to the suburbs to see her mother. She recalled that Ji Yun had once made handmade noodles for her and wanted to make it once for Ji Yun as well.

“Madam?” Auntie Li called Lin Nuan, and seeing that Lin Nuan had returned to her senses, Auntie Li smiled and asked while putting on an apron, “What are you thinking about? You were lost in your thoughts!”

“I was thinking about my mother!” Lin Nuan didn’t hide anything. She lowered her head and looked at Tuan Tuan’s small and tender face, smiling. “The first meal my mother made for me was handmade noodles!”

“Madam is thinking of the taste of your mother’s food! Leave the rest to me!” Auntie Li rolled up her sleeves. “It looks like the dough is already kneaded, but it’ll still need some time before we can start rolling out the noodles. What kind of noodles does Madam wish to eat?”

“Shall we have tomato and egg noodles?” Lin Nuan asked Tuan Tuan.

Tuan Tuan nodded and put out his plump fingers, making a scissors gesture and speaking up clearly with his childish tone, saying, “Two bowls!”

Knowing that Tuan Tuan was trying to say that he wanted to eat two bowls, Lin Nuan squatted down. She didn’t use her hands that were covered in flour to touch Tuan Tuan and only said, “Tuan Tuan is the best! How about Tuan Tuan comes with Mama to wash our hands?”

“En!”

Tuan Tuan ate the handmade noodles very seriously, as it was made from the dough that Mama had kneaded herself. His teacher had said that Mama’s hard work and sweat were in them, so Tuan Tuan didn’t waste any of the food. He ate two bowls of noodles, even drinking up the soup completely. His small stomach turned very round after all the food.

…

Jincheng.

Tang Xi’s legs were crossed as he sat lazily on a comfortable chair opposite Lu Jinnan, looking at him with the shadow of a smile. He glanced at Fu Huai’an, who was making a call outside, then turned to look at Lu Jinnan again. “You really made good use of the invitation letter I wrote to you! You and Fu Huai’an even came all the way down to Jincheng to have tea with me. Are the two of you really planning on coming to my Jiahe Corporation, or are you, in fact, trying to push my Jiahe Corporation into perdition?”

Lu Jinnan poured himself a full cup of tea from the teapot and smiled softly. “Why, was President Tang’s sincere invitation letter a fake? Then Old Fu and I would be really sad since we traveled all this way.”

Tang Xi watched as Lu Jinnan also filled up his teacup and then put down the teapot, looking at him while beaming. Tang Xi smiled with devilish allure…

“The invitation is real. I’m just afraid that President Lu and President Fu won’t be willing to lower yourselves before others!” Tang Xi’s gaze swept briefly past Fu Huai’an. “How come a character who caused a storm in Wall Street would lower himself before Third Brother?”

Tang Xi had known back then that Fu Huai’an was an extraordinary character. He had been a member of the special forces before, and after coming out of the military, he became a lawyer… Fu Huai’an had never tasted defeat and was seen as the best in the industry.

Back then, Tang Xi had wanted to work together with Fu Huai’an, wanting Fu Huai’an to become the Jiahe Corporation’s legal advisor.

He hadn’t expected Fu Huai’an to go quiet for a few years after Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi died. When his name suddenly appeared before Tang Xi once again, he had already become a great influential character on Wall Street! Even Tang Xi paled in comparison to him.

Although Fu Huai’an and the Kaide Corporation were his and Xie Jingqiu’s competitor, Tang Xi and Xie Jingqiu had always admired Fu Huai’an from the bottom of their hearts.

It was as Xie Jingqiu had said, if someone as terrifying as Fu Huai’an had entered the business world from the very beginning and hadn’t wasted his time as a member of the special forces or as a lawyer, his current achievements would be something that others would find hard to hold a candle to.

It was because Fu Huai’an was an opponent worthy of respect and admiration that Tang Xi and Xie Jingqiu understood him well. Fu Huai’an was a person who would never lower himself to others, especially to Xie Jingqiu!

Back then, Fu Huai’an had borrowed Third Brother Xie’s private jet. When he rose up in Wall Street after that, the first thing he did was purchase a private jet.

Though, Tang Xi knew why Fu Huai’an had bought the private jet. Fu Huai’an felt that he had arrived late to save Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi back then, in part because he didn’t have a private jet…
