He played his trump card: “If the identification proves otherwise, wouldn’t it mean Jiang Nuan is still alive in this world?”
He had grown up with Lin Bei, knowing all too well her vulnerabilities.
Indeed, this statement struck like lightning in Lin Bei’s heart, leaving her stunned for a while, then she said: “Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”
Since Lin Bei agreed, Tang Beichan would naturally take care of the arrangements.
If Jiang Nuan was indeed dead, he could plan for what comes next.
For him, Fu Yusen’s emotions were far more important than Jiang Nuan’s. But if Jiang Nuan was alive, it would be better for everyone.
Tang Beichan casually changed the subject: “By the way, how is your brother doing? Is he improving?”
Lin Bei followed his line of thought: “Yes, the doctor said he’ll wake up in the next couple of days.”
“That’s good. I was busy with some matters and didn’t get to visit him…”
In the private room, a tranquil atmosphere flowed, with only Tang Beichan’s gentle voice audible.
At the Fu residence.
Fu’s father glared at Fu Yusen: “I heard you gave thirty percent of this year’s profits to the Lin family?”
Fu Yusen’s expression remained calm: “Yes.”
“Do you know how many people out there are calling you a fool? What’s the Lin family to you? Even if you call off the engagement, there’s no need to suffer such a loss!”
Fu Yusen glanced at him, carefully concealing the disappointment in his eyes.
“Calling off the engagement affects a girl’s reputation. The Lin family suffered a loss; I’m compensating them. I see no problem with that.”
Moreover, thirty percent of a year’s profit might seem substantial to others, but to Fu Yusen, it wasn’t much.
Fu’s father took a deep breath: “Since you value Lin’s girl so much, why not marry her?”
“I don’t like her.”
“Then who do you like! That Jiang Nuan who’s not even worth mentioning!”
Fu Yusen’s expression turned icy cold.
Lately, he found himself thinking of Jiang Nuan from time to time, with a restless heart that wouldn’t settle.
But he could not allow anyone to speak of her in such a tone, even if it was his own father.
