Chapter 685 - 685 Something Lin Nuan Could Use Against Him

685 Something Lin Nuan Could Use Against Him

Fu Cheng knew that they could no longer hide the truth. Standing beside his wife and children, he gazed at Fu Huai’an and solemnly said, “It’s my fault for not disciplining my children. Huai’an, if you’re unhappy about this and wish to take it out on me, that’s fine by me! But these two kids are still young… don’t worry, I will take them in hand!”

“Take them in hand here!” Fu Huai’an’s deep and charismatic voice had an intimidating quality to it. “I’ll stand here and watch!”

Fu Huai’an merely had to stand there, and his imposing and masculine aura was enough to induce fear in others. Much less now, when anger was evident in Fu Huai’an’s eyes. It was a coldness that made one’s hair stand on end.

Fu Cheng didn’t see this coming from Fu Huai’an and was stunned momentarily.

At this moment, not even Old Madam Fu stood out to speak up for Fu Cheng and his family.

He had already made the promise. Fu Cheng looked at his children, who were crying so hard that they were running out of breath, and thought about how they had been spoiled thoroughly by Ye Ziqi all these years and were getting out of hand…

He toughened his heart and ordered them, “Xinxin, Mingming, apologize to Tuan Tuan first!”

“I’m not apologizing!” Mingming cried, evidently upset. “I’m not apologizing! Mama, I’m not apologizing!”

Ye Ziqi held Mingming tightly and glared at Fu Cheng ferociously, tears running down her cheeks.

“It seems like you’re not capable of disciplining your own kids.” Fu Huai’an looked at him coldly. He had one hand in his pocket, and his expression was solemn. “If you’re not capable of doing so, let me do it for you! It’s simple, really, just let them have a taste of what it’s like to be pushed into the lake!”

Ye Ziqi’s eyes widened, yet she dared not turn around to look at Fu Huai’an. She merely stared at Fu Cheng with her eyes wide open, panicking inwardly.

“Huai’an! They’re still children!” Old Madam Fu couldn’t bear to see that happen to them after all.

Although those two kids had lied, they had called her grandma every day since they moved back in with her, so she more or less had some feelings towards them.

“Is Tuan Tuan not a child?” Fu Huai’an asked in turn.

Old Madam Fu pursed her lips.

Hearing Fu Huai’an say that he was going to let those two kids experience what it was like to drown in the water, Su Manman suddenly felt comfortable all over.

“If you don’t discipline a child about certain things when they’re little, they’ll grow up crooked! You’re bearing the surname Fu, after all… so how can you let your children grow up and bring shame to this surname!” Su Manman spoke coldly.

Spoiled brats ought to be taught a good lesson!

“Can’t bear to do it yourself?” Fu Huai’an asked.

Ye Ziqi grabbed Fu Cheng’s arm with one hand. The ferociousness in her eyes was gone, and all that was left was a pleading stare.

“When your children pushed someone else’s child into the lake, you asked to extenuate the matter because they’re merely kids. But when it comes to your own kids, you can’t bear to do it?” Fu Huai’an’s voice was calm, and no emotion could be detected. “Since you can’t bear to do it yourself, let me help you. Little Lu…”

Little Lu, who had been standing at the door of the old manor, heard Fu Huai’an call his name, and he immediately squeezed through the crowd to get to Fu Huai’an.

Little Lu was already seething with anger, and with one order from Fu Huai’an, he would toss those two brats into the lake!

Tuan Tuan was such an obedient and precious child, yet he was pushed into the lake by them, and his neck was even strangled that badly…

The minute they heard Little Lu enter, Fu Xinxin and Fu Mingming got so frightened that they started bawling. They clutched onto their father and mother’s necks as if their lives depended on it.

“Fu Cheng! Are you a man or what!” Ye Ziqi cried and scolded Fu Cheng. “Are you that terrified of Fu Huai’an? So what if the Fu family raised you as a child? They didn’t raise my two children or me! Why should the Fus bully my children? It’s not as if I don’t have a home in Haicheng! I’m going to take my children back to the Ye house! I want a divorce from you!”

Fu Cheng gritted his teeth. While he seemed to agree with his wife’s words, the dejected-looking Fu Cheng appeared helpless.

Secretary Song had already summarized the events in Old Master Fu’s ear. With the two kids bawling and Ye Ziqi crying and scolding Fu Cheng for being useless, the Fu family mansion was in a mess.

Anger surged to Fu Qingquan’s head after he finished hearing Secretary Song’s recount and looked up to see the commotion before his eyes. “What are you making a fuss about?”

Since Fu Qingquan’s conversation with Fu Huai’an didn’t end pleasantly in the study earlier, Fu Qingquan didn’t intend to side with Fu Huai’an.

Moreover, with Fu Huai’an not returning to the Kaide Corporation or clarifying his stand yet, the aged Fu Qingquan’s strength fell short of his desire. Thus, he still needed Fu Cheng’s help…

So what if Fu Cheng had some ambition towards the Kaide Corporation? In Fu Qingquan’s eyes, Fu Cheng was different from Fu Huai’an—the former was easier to control. So long as he refused to hand the Kaide Corporation over to Fu Cheng, what tricks could Fu Cheng come up with before his eyes?

“The kids were merely fooling around. Do the adults need to go to war because of such a small matter? The children are insensible because they’re young, and the adults are fooling around like them!” Fu Qingquan’s voice was like a great bell, and his anger was evident. “Making such a ruckus in this house!”

Su Manman turned her head and looked at Fu Qingquan, whose expression was dark, a little surprised to hear Fu Qingquan say something like this…

“So, in Old Master Fu’s eyes, two kids pushing another child into the lake, wanting him to die, is merely kids fooling around?” Lin Nuan shot back directly. “Back then, Fu Tianci was merely shoved once and called a b*stard, is that not kids fooling around? That wasn’t even life-threatening… and Old Master Fu had to destroy the young lady’s future, even making her parents lose their jobs! Is that not called going to war? Tuan Tuan was pushed into the lake, and we haven’t even done anything to those two kids, and this is called going to war? Old Master Fu, what logic is this?”

The name Fu Tianci… had been taboo at the Fu family mansion all along!

No one expected that Lin Nuan would bring up this name time and time again. Even Su Manman’s grandfather, Fu Qingshui, took in a sharp breath of cold air. He secretly thought that it was brave of that young lady Lin Nuan to dare go up against Fu Qingquan directly.

Originally, at the Fu family mansion, Old Madam Fu would explode with anger at the mention of the name Fu Tianci. However, this second time that Lin Nuan mentioned it, she felt rather comfortable hearing it.

Old Madam Fu raised an eyebrow as she gazed at Old Master Fu, waiting for him to reply to Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan didn’t like Fu Qingquan to begin with. Plus, this time around, the matter involved Tuan Tuan, so Lin Nuan was like a firecracker that had been lit.

Fu Qingquan had no words to rebut that. After Fu Qingquan did that back then, he deliberately asked Secretary Song to make it known to everyone in order to ensure that no one would dare do something like that to his biological son Fu Tianci again. He hadn’t expected that today, it would be something Lin Nuan could use against him.

Fu Qingquan’s face darkened, and he almost raged at Lin Nuan. It was only when he saw Fu Huai’an that he swallowed his words back down…

Fu Qingquan remembered what happened at the Fu manor last time around, when Old Master Lin picked a fight with him in an attempt to defend Lin Nuan.
