Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1377: Her heart suddenly ached for Brother Lin Chen’s mother.

Lu Yunfan was on the verge of tears. Brother Lin Chen, you’re really smart. Can you come and rescue your pitiful girlfriend?

Before Lu Yunfan could reply, Liang Mulan’s phone rang…

Liang Mulan glanced at her phone and smiled. “Sorry, I’ll take a call!”

Liang Mulan then walked out of the dining room with her phone.

“Why did you call back at this hour?” Liang Mulan asked as she looked into the dining room. Seeing that Lu Yunfan was still sitting there cautiously, she was puzzled.

“Mom, did you deceive Lu Yunfan into coming home?” Lin Chen asked.

“What do you mean by deceiving? Why are you speaking so harshly?” Liang Mulan’s lips curled up. “That day, I bought a painting at Fanfan’s gallery and got Fanfan to send it to me. I quite like this child. She’s innocent and kind… and she’s also sincere towards others. It’s just that she’s not very guarded against others. But even this trait of her shows that this young lady has a simple and clean heart. The more I look at Fan Fan, the more I like her!”

Lin Chen held his forehead. “Don’t scare her!”

“How am I scaring her? She doesn’t even know that I’m your mother. I even pretended that I would introduce her to my son. She rejected me outright, saying that she only likes her boyfriend. Aiyo… what a cute young lady!”

Liang Mulan praised Lu Yunfan in a lengthy manner, which showed how much she liked her.

“Lu Yunfan has already discovered our family portrait in the dining room!” Lin Chen sighed.

Liang Mulan paused in surprise and took two steps back. Indeed, the servants hadn’t hidden away their family portraits in the dining room…

No wonder Lu Yunfan suddenly acted so reserved when she returned to the dining room!

Liang Mulan looked enlightened. “No wonder when I came back from the washroom Fanfan seemed to have changed into a different person. She became so careful in front of me. What should I do? I haven’t had enough time to chat with Fanfan!”

“Let her go!” Lin Chen said. “Perhaps she is regretting talking so much in front of you just now. She might even think that you had deceived her…”

Liang Mulan was speechless.

After hanging up the call, Liang Mulan returned and pretended not to notice anything. She smiled at Lu Yunfan and said, “When the sweet soup and the spare ribs are ready, I’ll get the driver to send you back…”

“No need, no need!” Liang Mulan hurriedly waved her hands. “Erm, I only came to see your art collection today, but I’ve worn out your welcome by staying for lunch.”

“How can we just let something we agreed upon pass? You don’t have to act so formally with me! I feel we’re very compatible. I really like you, young lady. I hope you’ll come over more often when you’re free!” Liang Mulan smiled and said.

Like her? Compatible? Was it true? Lu Yunfan felt uneasy.

“I have three children, one son and two daughters. The eldest son only knows how to get busy with work, and he doesn’t have the time to accompany me. One daughter is married, has kids, and is busy with work. The other daughter is also out of the house every day. I’m lonely all by myself in this big house. I’m thrilled you came and chatted with me today!” Liang Mulan smiled gently at Lu Yunfan. “I haven’t been so happy in a long time…”

Lu Yunfan looked up in Liang Mulan’s direction. Her heart suddenly ached for Brother Lin Chen’s mother.

Yes, Brother Lin Chen was so busy all day… he definitely wouldn’t have time to accompany his mother!

Lu Yunfan thought of her own mother.

Previously, her brother Lu Yunhang had always been busy as well. But besides her, at least there was her sister-in-law and nephew to accompany her mother!

Even though her mother didn’t really like her daughter-in-law, she was happy when she could spend time with her grandson. Sometimes, when Lu Yunfan would talk about her brother and her childhood, her mother would always smile happily…

But Brother Lin Chen’s mother was alone at home, without any grandchildren by her side!

Sister Nuan Nuan was so busy with her work and family. As for Lin Ran, she could tell at a glance that she was a career-type girl. She was probably like Brother Lin Chen, who was always busy with work all day long.

Thinking about it, Brother Lin Chen’s mother must indeed be really lonely!

Because of the heartache for her future mother-in-law, Lu Yunfan’s fear had lessened considerably. She mustered up her courage and said, “Madam Liang… if you don’t think my chatty personality is bothersome, I can come and accompany you in the future. You can also visit my art gallery whenever you like! Just call and let me know before you come. If you’d like to have a meal together… I can bring you to eat good food!”

Seeing the fear in Lu Yunfan’s eyes turn into a concern, Liang Mulan liked Lu Yunfan even more. She reached out and grabbed Lu Yunfan’s hand. “You’re such a good girl. I really want you to be my daughter-in-law! Are you really not going to consider my son? My son is really very handsome…”

Well…

Lu Yunfan didn’t know if she should tell Liang Mulan that she was actually Lin Chen’s girlfriend. She pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly.

However, did this mean that her future mother-in-law was delighted with her?

Hadn’t she been worried about getting her future mother-in-law’s approval?

“Alright, alright! I won’t force you… But in the future, don’t always call me Madam Liang. Call me Auntie Liang!”

Lu Yunfan nodded. “Okay, Auntie Liang!”

Liang Mulan’s smile deepened. “I heard from your staff that you came to Haicheng alone to open your art gallery. Didn’t your family come along?”

Lu Yunfan shook her head. “I came alone. My brother came over on my gallery’s opening day and left after seeing that I’m handling everything well! After all, I’m already an adult. My wings have hardened! It’s time for me to leave my nest and fly away! How am I going to develop myself personally if I don’t experience any hardships? I can’t depend on my parents for the rest of my life!”

Lu Yunfan went against her conscience and tried to impress Liang Mulan.

She came to Haicheng because of Lin Chen…

What she just said to Liang Mulan was the same lie she had used to convince her parents!

To cajole them into letting her come to Haicheng, she argued that if she were to open her art gallery in the same city with them and face adversity, her parents wouldn’t be able to hold themselves back and settle it for her. This way, she would never be able to grow up properly. Hence, she told them she had to open her art gallery in Haicheng, away from them.

“What an ambitious young lady!” Liang Mulan smiled. “Young ladies nowadays are more ambitious than girls from our generation. They’re very career-minded! All the best… Auntie Liang thinks highly of you! If you encounter anything that you can’t resolve, don’t stand on ceremony. Just call Auntie Liang… Auntie Liang’s son is very capable. I’ll get him to help you settle it!”

Lu Yunfan couldn’t help but feel touched. Why was her future mother-in-law so good? She liked her future mother-in-law so much that she couldn’t help but want to reveal her identity…
