Chapter 225 - He’s a Good-Looker and Can’t Be Friends With Those Who Are Ugly
Lu Jinnan understood the importance of the matter, and he had plans in mind. He nodded in agreement. “I know what to do.”
Fu Huai’an bowed to put out his cigarette on the ashtray. He told them he was leaving and left the office.
After a failed relationship, Tang Zheng had been overseas for a long time, helping Fu Huai’an run his business. He had heard of the person named Tang Xi, but he had no idea how formidable he was.
“How difficult is he to deal with?” Tang Zheng asked Lu Jinnan, who was sitting opposite him. Lu Jinnan was frowning and puffing on a cigarette.
Lu Jinnan furrowed his brows even tighter, put out his cigarette, and said, “Well, how should I put it? He’s the sort who won’t play by the rules…”
“For example?”
“For instance…” Lu Jinnan chuckled. “When I had dinner with the boss of Hong Mao Construction last night, he told me about how Tang Xi from Jia He suddenly deleted some WeChat contacts a few days ago, including his. They had been working on a project together and were on pretty good terms. He was in Jincheng and had sent a WeChat message to Tang Xi to ask him out for a meal when it indicated on the application that they were not friends. He called Tang Xi as he wanted to know the reason, and do you know why he deleted those contacts?”
Tang Zheng pondered and said in all seriousness, “He’s a good-looker and can’t be friends with those who are ugly?”
Lu Jinnan chortled at Tang Zheng’s naiveté and said, “His reason is even more bizarre than this! His pregnant wife walks about at home every day and wants to be top of the WeRun step count chart. Hence, he deleted the contacts of those whose step count had surpassed that of his wife, no questions asked…”
Tang Zheng was at a loss for words.
“Do those of you with the surname Tang all behave in this intriguing manner after falling in love?” Lu Jinnan asked. He stood up and took his pack of cigarettes and phone. “I am going to make a call.”
Tang Zheng was at a loss for words.
Lin Nuan reached Tian Fu Wan just before five p.m. Fu Tianci was around too.
When Lin Nuan walked in, she saw that Fu Tianci had propped both his legs up on the coffee table. He was holding a pack of crisps in one hand and was in the midst of changing channels with the remote control he held with his oil-stained hand.
Fu Tianci immediately lowered his legs and turned towards the door when he heard the sound of the door opening.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that it was not Fu Huai’an, but he was stumped for words when he saw that the person was Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan was astonished to see Fu Tianci there.
She had only interacted with Fu Tianci once outside the hospital, and it had not been a pleasant experience.
Even though it had only been a brief encounter, the little details were telling. It was clear that Fu Tianci was a good-for-nothing from a wealthy family.
Even though Lin Nuan knew that Fu Tianci was Fu Huai’an’s youngest uncle, she didn’t have a good impression of him.
The offspring of the affluent were often insolent and willful, and nobody would find them charming.
Likewise, Fu Tianci didn’t have a good impression of Lin Nuan.
Although the argument was between him and Bai Xiaonian that day, Fu Tianci had realized that he was on the losing end only after Lin Nuan interfered. And those two women had demanded 15000 dollars in one go. They were obviously out to scam him.
With that in mind, Fu Tianci began to doubt Lin Nuan’s intentions towards Fu Huai’an. He looked at Lin Nuan with disdain and nonchalantly propped up his legs on the coffee table. He slouched on the sofa and continued switching channels.
Lin Nuan looked at the skinny young lad who was wearing a black hooded sweater and asked, “Where’s Tuan Tuan?”
“How would I know? That weird boy ran up the stairs by himself the moment he came home…” Fu Tianci said indifferently and continued stuffing potato chips into his mouth, tilting his chin towards the stairs.
