Chapter 23: Going Through the Motions

ore prestige!Thinking about it this way, the butler smoothly navigated the situation, saying with a light touch, "Miss Lin, you are magnanimous. Little Yu meant well and had no ill intentions."Lin Jin...Is Fu Mo Han not looking for an excuse to work

Why am I here

Fu Mo Han also saw Lin Jin Ran in the distance, his brows furrowed, he said with displeasure, "How did you get here"

"Grandpa, let me come over," Lin Jinyan explained softly. Seeing the man's impatient expression, she felt a little uneasy.

Soon, a vigorous voice from the old man echoed inside the house, "Dyan, you're here, come in and let grandpa have a look."

An elderly man walked out, already in his sixties. His white hair shone dazzlingly in the sunlight.

But every gesture is full of vigor, getting stronger with age.

Old Master Fu held a cane in his hand, not for walking, but for striking.

He saw Fu Mo'han standing still, raised his cane and charged directly at Fu Mo'han, "Your wife is here, what are you standing there for"

Fu Mo Han easily grasped the cane, not even glancing in Lin Jin Ran's direction. He said with a hint of displeasure, "I still have business at my company. Since Grandpa is fine, I'll be going now."

"You dare!" Old Master Fu said with a strong voice, pulling his cane out with all his might and planting it firmly on the ground. "If you dare leave, I'll go to your company tomorrow!"

Fu Mo'han furrowed his brows in pain. He was dealing with business at the company when Zhang, the old house steward, called to tell him to go back for dinner.

He declined with the excuse of being busy, but who knew the doctor from the old house called again, informing him that his grandfather's health had worsened.

Fu Mo Han had to rush back, who knew he was tricked once again.

"You still knew your grandfather was alive, and you didn't even tell me about Dye's wedding. It's been a day or two, and I only just found out. You little rascal." Old Master Fu grew angrier as he spoke, and he tapped Fu Mo Han with his cane.

This time, Fu Mo Han didn't dodge and took the hit head-on, which made Lin Jin Ran feel shocked and scared.

"Grandpa, I really am busy." Fu MoHan helplessly said, a hint of worry in his brow.

Master Fu let out a cold snort, ignoring him and turned to Lin Jinyan beside him, beckoning her over. "Jinyan, come here."

Lin Jinran stole a glance at Fu Mo'han, then lowered her eyes and walked obediently to the front of Old Master Fu.

"Grandpa."

"Good boy, help me into the house."

Lin Jinran immediately helped Old Master Fu and walked into the house, followed by Fu Mo Han.

After Old Master Fu sat down, he glared at Fu Mo寒 with displeasure, "Aren't you leaving"

"I'm not leaving." Fu Mo Han strode to the side and sat down, seemingly casually glancing at Lin Jin Ran.

Lin Jinran lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't noticed anything. She guessed in her heart, he didn't leave because he was afraid of what she would say

Then, Old Master Fu began to inquire about Lin Jinfan's situation at the Fu residence.

Lin Jinran did not mention the housekeeper and servants of the Fu family making things difficult for her. Saying so would only anger the old master, so she simply said that everyone treated her well.

Master Fu nodded. "Those servants, if you don't like them, you can ask Zhang Bo to change another batch."

"No need, Grandpa. They've been doing this for a long time, they're used to it."

Master Fu saw Lin Jinyan like this, and didn't say much. Finally, he looked at Fu Mochen, who was sipping tea silently on the side, reminding him, "This is the third day, right Logically speaking, you should be able to go back home. Don't forget to accompany Jinyan back, don't break the rules. Also, you should visit your father."

Fu Mo'han only replied with a "good." and didn't say much more.

Mr. Fu chatted with Lin Jinyan for a while, then said he was tired and asked Zhang Bo to help him rest first.

As soon as the old man left, only Lin Jinran and Fu Mo寒 were left in the room.

Lin Jinran's discomfort started to rise, she felt Fu Mochen's cold eyes on her, and her heart skipped a beat.

bit her lip and whispered, "I can go back by myself."

She knew that rather than humiliate herself, it was better to make things clear beforehand. Fu Mo Han might have just been placating her grandfather earlier.r" 。"Thank you""Lin Jinran softly said thank you." 。The maid nodded, not daring to stay long or say too much for fear of causing trouble. She then left the living room. 。Lin Jin was left alone in the...
