Lin Bei followed her to the reception area, looking at various designs, and softly said, “This one.”
She thought, Jiang Nuan loved simplicity in life, so her eternal resting place should not be overly complicated.
The clerk handed her paper and pen: “Please write down the inscription for the monument, and I’ll show it to the master.”
Lin Bei thought for a moment, then slowly wrote on the paper: Here Lies Beloved Friend Jiang Nuan.
Chapter 14
When Fu Yusen woke up, he was alone in the empty private room.
His head ached terribly; he didn’t usually drink much, and when he did, Jiang Nuan would take good care of him, preventing any hangover symptoms.
Fu Yusen sat in the dim light for a long time before getting up and leaving Night Colors.
At the Fu residence.
Fu’s father was talking to Jiang Nuan’s mother: “You can’t even control your own daughter. If the alliance with the Lin family falls through, you don’t need to stay by my side anymore!”
Jiang Nuan’s mother turned pale, grabbing his hand: “Why are you so angry? The family doctor said you shouldn’t get upset. I’ll send Jiang Nuan abroad as soon as possible.”
Fu’s father’s chest heaved a few times: “You better keep your word.”
He waved his hand, dismissing Jiang Nuan’s mother.
Back in her room, Jiang Nuan’s mother dialed Jiang Nuan’s number, hearing only the cold mechanical voice, she gritted her teeth: “You useless girl, disappearing at a critical moment!”
Thinking of the ten million dollars in real gold and silver, she resented Jiang Nuan even more.
She called over ten times, but the phone was always off.
Unsettled, Jiang Nuan’s mother decided to check on Jiang Nuan’s apartment the next day.
The next morning, she left early for Jiang Nuan’s apartment.
She didn’t expect to see Lin Bei there.
“Miss Lin, what are you doing here?” Jiang Nuan’s mother hurried forward to greet her.
She knew that the Lin family was a major clan capable of an alliance with the Fu family, so she couldn’t be too attentive.
Lin Bei looked up at her, a vague memory stirring in her mind.
This person, she recalled, was Jiang Nuan’s mother?
