Mr Fu, I Really Love You
chapter-423

Lin Nuan did tell Old Madam Fu that she didn't intend to enter the entertainment circle.

Staring at the steam rising from the cup of tea in her hand, Lin Nuan waited for her to finish speaking.

"I know what I said may have wronged you…" Old Madam Fu said as she kept an elderly smile on her face. She took out a folder from her designer bag and gently placed it on the table. She then pushed the file in front of Lin Nuan and said, "Here… lies all the real estate and Kaide Corporation shares under my name!"

Lin Nuan looked up from the file and towards Old Madam Fu, who was still smiling.

"I have already signed these transfer documents. As long as you and Huai'an don't get divorced, all of this is yours. Of course, if one day you do end up separating from each other, you can take away one-quarter of it. If there's a child, you can take half…"

This was… Old Madam Fu's compensation for Lin Nuan?

Lin Nuan wanted to speak but was unsure how to address her—calling her grandmother seemed to be too intimate, so should she call her Mrs. Fu?

As she was thinking about it, Old Madam Fu spoke again.

"Of course, you can get this, but there are conditions which I have investigated… Your biological mother was 27 when her mental illness began showing symptoms. Only after you reach that age, if there are no signs of the condition, can you and Huai'an then have children. This isn't just for his sake or Tuan Tuan's sake. This is also for your sake… you wouldn't want your child to get a mental illness either, would you?"

Old Madam Fu took a sip of tea and looked at Lin Nuan's pale face. "If you do show symptoms, naturally… no matter what Huai'an decides, even if you get divorced and marry someone else, I will arrange for someone to take care of the rest of your life instead of sending you off to a mental hospital!"

These seemed like favorable conditions for Lin Nuan—except for that one about not announcing their marriage.

Despite Lin Nuan having intentions of keeping their marriage secret initially, that was a personal decision coming from her. She was concerned about Huai'an's privacy and didn't want him to become someone else's topic of gossip.

But hearing these words from Old Madam Fu was particularly hurtful.

Lin Nuan picked up the teacup with her long, slender fingers and took a sip. It was still very warm. Her fingernails were trimmed neatly, with no nail polish on, appearing slender and neat.

"So if we don't announce the marriage publicly, the Chu Family will still support Huai'an, then what? Then he and Chu Xun attend events together frequently and pretend to be a couple? Does Chu Xun know about your plans? Does Huai'an know? Would they be willing to do it?"

Lin Nuan was very polite when she spoke to elders.

In fact, she was implying that Old Madam Fu was imposing her own intentions on them all without even seeking their opinions.

Old Madam Fu knew that Lin Nuan was a smart girl and that she wouldn't act reckless or grab her ponytails like some easily angered girl.

She smiled and said, "Huai'an doesn't need to go anywhere with anybody as a couple. What I expect is just to maintain how things are now."

Old Madam Fu knew Fu Huai'an's personality too well. If she told him about this or asked him to attend events with Chu Xun in public, he would only distance himself from her.

As a grandmother who only appeared halfway through the picture, she wasn't so confident in her closeness with Huai'an. He would obviously not listen to everything she had to say, so she had to seek out Lin Nuan first.

At least, from Old Madam Fu's perspective, Lin Nuan could get a considerable amount of wealth, which was undoubtedly a solid deal for her.

Old Madam Fu certainly was unable to pass her hard-earned wealth to her husband's secret son—she'd even rather donate it all to her previous adopted son Fu Cheng!

Of course, no matter if she donated it or passed it on to Fu Cheng, it wouldn't beat passing it to her grandson by blood, Fu Huai'an.

These past years, Fu Huai'an had put in a lot of effort to sustain the Kaide Corporation. If it weren't for him, Kaide would still be in a pit after Fu Cheng got into the accident. It would be nowhere close to its current success.

Now that the Kaide Corporation was getting better and better, the old man wanted to kick Fu Huai'an out of the picture and pass on the whole group to his illegitimate child. What a joke.

Hence, Old Madam Fu decided to give it all to Fu Huai'an.

On this path to help Fu Huai'an get his share of the Kaide Corporation, Old Madam Fu was relentless to get all obstacles out of the way.

Lin Nuan kept silent.

Old Madam Fu pointed at the file and smiled. "You see, as long as we keep things the way they are and avoid announcing news of the marriage, isn't this a good deal for you?"

"I respect the fact that you're an elder. Perhaps other people's marriages can become a business deal, but I won't let mine become one!" Lin Nuan tried hard to contain her emotions and continued politely, "Let me be honest with you, I already proposed getting married in secret to Fu Huai'an before you approached me. This was simply because I care for him and don't want him to end up being some topic of gossip like me! I don't want people to be laughing behind his back on how his wife's mother is mental or about how his wife herself might become crazy one day…"

Old Madam Fu smiled at Lin Nuan. "That's good, then take these as a gift from me to you…"

Lin Nuan shook her head. "I'm willing to do things for Huai'an from my heart. There's no need for gifts or some kind of transaction."

Old Madam Fu was surprised that she didn't accept her private property.

Since Lin Nuan already intended to hide her marriage, she could have still accepted this private property.

Was she pretending to be on her high horse?

Old Madam Fu still felt that she was too young…

"You should open it first and check what's written inside, then decide if you want to turn it down or not!"

Lin Nuan didn't move. She opened her mouth, but Old Madam Fu said, "After you see what's inside, if you still aren't willing, then I won't impose."

Old Madam Fu had been on the streets for years. She knew too well the rules of money…

She always felt that people who weren't impressed by money were just not tempted enough.

Yet the total private wealth under her name would make even the Lin Family's net worth look bad. Old Madam Fu felt that few people could still remain indifferent after seeing how much wealth she had.

Lin Nuan hesitated for a moment, then opened it up…

The file was thick and heavy. Lin Nuan untied the string and took out the papers inside as she put the file aside. She went through it briefly. All she felt was pure shock.

Old Madam Fu's private property contained banks across the world, mansions in England… real estate around the world, commercial buildings, hotels, private companies, yachts, private jets, luxury cars, all kinds of antiques, famous paintings, and even gems!
