Chapter 721 - Gu Qingcheng’s Adopted Daughter?
It was a restroom, after all, so the cameraman and staff waited outside and didn’t come in…
Just how did Li Muyang, a fully grown man, avoid being seen or heard by other people and swagger into the ladies’ restroom?
How did Li Muyang move around so quickly and without getting caught?
Lin Nuan gripped her phone tightly. Li Muyang’s calm expression only made his handsome face appear frightening, sending a chill down her spine.
With You Nainai around, and after she heard the sound of Su Manman flushing the toilet, Lin Nuan felt a little braver and smiled. “The President of the De Niro Company entering the ladies’ restroom—this would blow up in the news! Is Mr. Li really not scared?”
“Why, didn’t Mr. Fu tell you about Mr. Gu getting seriously injured in France? Or is it that Mr. Fu is already used to the simple life and doesn’t plan to look out for his friends anymore?” Li Muyang held his cane in his hand and spoke slowly.
Lin Nuan thought about how Fu Huai’an had left this morning without even saying goodbye and simply asked You Nainai to keep her company. Was it really as Li Muyang said… did something happen to Gu Qingcheng?
Her eyes landed on the smiling Li Muyang. She hated him, but she didn’t suspect the credibility of the information that he had.
She knew Fu Huai’an and understood that once something happened to Gu Qingcheng, he had to go over to help!
Lin Nuan subconsciously clenched her fists at her sides. She heard Fu Huai’an say… that Gu Qingcheng was constantly on the brink of danger for his sake. Now that Gu Qingcheng was injured in France, would there be danger everywhere in France right now?
Were Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan putting themselves in danger by rushing over so quickly?
Lin Nuan instantly began to panic. She worried about Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan… and even Gu Qingcheng, whom she had barely spoken to!
Upon hearing the sound of the stall door opening, Li Muyang smiled at Lin Nuan. “Lin Nuan, I’m providing you with information to get on your good side! Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter, who was kidnapped, is in the country. My men were involved in this, so I have no choice… I hope Mr. Fu won’t mind!”
Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter?
This was the first time Lin Nuan heard that Gu Qingcheng had an adopted daughter!
Su Manman walked out of the restroom and narrowed her eyes upon seeing Li Muyang. She remembered that according to the internet, this man was a millionaire and had traveled all the way from America to woo Lin Nuan.
“Yech… is it just you, or do all millionaires have a habit of entering the ladies’ restroom? Should I shout to get everyone to come in here and have a look?” Su Manman was smiling, but her voice was cold beyond compare.
Li Muyang didn’t look over at Su Manman at all. He only smiled at Lin Nuan. “Twice, Nuan Nuan; you already owe me twice. The first time, we had a cup of coffee together. This time, I’d like you to return the favor by having a meal with me…”
Su Manman was about to open her mouth to speak when Lin Nuan grabbed onto her wrist. “Sorry, you haven’t gotten on my good side with this information! I’m afraid I’d lose my appetite if I have a meal with you!”
Li Muyang smiled faintly, and the expression in his deep eyes was so profound that it was unreadable. “One meal in exchange for Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter. You decide if it’s a worthwhile trade, Nuan Nuan!”
Lin Nuan’s fists clenched even more tightly, her nails digging into her palms until it hurt.
“This time, the people who captured Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter don’t just consist of my men. Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter has already run away a few times, and she’s been beaten to a pulp. My men say they’ve discussed this with one another. The next time Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter runs away, they’ll break her legs!” Li Muyang’s eyes were indifferent. “Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter has many tricks up her sleeve and is constantly trying to run away, so you have to decide soon! Otherwise… her legs may be broken by the time she’s rescued!”
Li Muyang looked at Lin Nuan intently. His smile was calm and confident when he saw her ghastly pale face. “I’ll wait for your call…”
“Are you sick in the head?” Su Manman didn’t understand what was going on and smiled coldly at Li Muyang. “Admitting to kidnapping someone in front of the three of us. Sir… do you think our police can’t deal with an American like you in our country?”
Li Muyang ignored Su Manman and simply smiled gently towards Lin Nuan as he turned around and left the restroom.
Su Manman was just like the old Lin Nuan when it came to her perception of this world. She didn’t understand the other world that Li Muyang and people like him lived in!
Even though she knew Shi Hanchu was once involved with people from the underworld, Su Manman didn’t notice the dangers of it.
Like Lin Nuan, Su Manman was protected too well as the daughter of a wealthy family.
Su Manman was furious, and her eyes narrowed. If not for Li Muyang’s physical disability, she would have beat him up!
“I think his leg isn’t the only thing that’s broken! He’s broken in the head too!” Su Manman said to Lin Nuan, “Don’t trust what that idiot said. Gu and his adopted daughter—what does any of that have to do with you? And even if she’s really been kidnapped, her family would have called the police a long time ago. I don’t believe he kidnapped someone else’s child just to have a meal with you! If he really did that, he isn’t just broken in the head—his brain has literally shrunk! He has to face legal consequences for what he did!”
Lin Nuan called Fu Huai’an, but the call didn’t get through. She then sent him a text and told him everything that Li Muyang just said.
Lin Nuan said, “Let’s leave after you wash your hands! With Nainai around, he won’t dare to lay a finger on me!”
Once they left the restroom, You Nainai disappeared into the crowd again. She followed behind a few cameramen and watched as they followed Lin Nuan and Su Manman.
From playing games with strangers to finding clues to the big treasure hunt in the final segment, Su Manman’s team won by a small margin.
As she watched the hosts deliver the closing words for the day, Lin Nuan vaguely overheard people from the Blue Team saying Song Cheng got lucky when finding people to play games with. He accidentally bumped into Best Actress Zhang Ruomin, who was out shopping with her good friend.
If one mentioned Zhang Ruomin, they would inevitably think of Fu Huai’an and, by extension, Lin Nuan.
The camera panned over to Lin Nuan, who had a slightly dull look in her eyes, as if she was thinking of something.
Su Manman grabbed a small card from somewhere and fanned it in Lin Nuan’s direction…
The cool breeze swept over Lin Nuan’s neck and brought her back to her senses. She turned to look at Su Manman, who said, “Don’t tell me you’re thinking of your husband! How long has it been since you two last saw each other?”
Su Manman couldn’t help but smile. The others all misunderstood the situation and laughed along…
The hosts joked that even though Fu Huai’an hadn’t visited the set today, the couple’s affection for each other was still very much on public display and that they were too much!
The filming of the program ended amidst all the noise. Fang Yan was surprised that Lin Nuan wasn’t exhausted after running around for the whole program.
You Nainai and Lin Nuan were the only two people in the dressing room.
Looking at Lin Nuan’s preoccupied expression, You Nainai finally blurted out, “I heard from Tang Zheng that Sir Fu really went to France just to check up on Gu Qingcheng…”
