Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

In the hospital corridor, the lights were soft but could not hide the depressing atmosphere. Lu Nanxu sat beside Ji Yan's bed, and the two held hands gently, conveying silent support and warmth. At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring broke the silence.

Lu Nanxu looked down at the screen and saw the caller ID was "Dad". His heart tightened slightly, and then he looked up at Ji Yan. Her inquiring eyes were looking at him gently.

He patted the back of Ji Yan's hand gently and said softly, "Yan'er, my dad called. I'll go pick it up and be back soon. A Qian and the others are here. Tell them if anything happens."

Ji Yan nodded. Although she felt a little uneasy, she still tried to force out a reassuring smile. "Go ahead. I'm fine."

Lu Nanxu stood up and glanced at Zheng Haoqian and the other three people in the ward one by one. After conveying his entrustment with his eyes, he turned and left the ward, walked to a quiet corner at the end of the corridor and answered the phone.

"Dad." As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Nanxu called out softly.

"Get back here, you little brat, right now!"

On the other end of the phone, Father Lu's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty and anger, as if one could feel the strong emotion through the screen.

Lu Nanxu did not explain much, but just responded briefly: "Okay, I'll be there right away." Then he hung up the phone and looked towards the direction of the ward with a serious look.

He knew that his father's call this time was of great significance, but he was more concerned about the weak Ji Yan in the ward.

Back at the door of the ward, Lu Nanxu took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, and pushed the door open.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yan asked immediately when she saw him come back, her eyes full of curiosity and uneasiness about the unknown.

Lu Nanxu walked to the bed and sat down, gently holding Ji Yan's hand, and said softly: "It's my dad, he asked me to go back immediately. But don't worry, Ah Qian and the others will stay here to take care of you, I will be back after I finish my business."

Ji Yan was reluctant to let him go, but she also knew that Lu Nanxu had his responsibilities to bear. She nodded gently, trying not to show her worry.

"I'm fine, go ahead. It's just..."

She changed the subject, a complex look flashing in her eyes, "What you and A Jing told me just now was really unexpected. I didn't expect Su Su to do this, but fortunately it didn't succeed that night. But when I thought about the fact that I almost lost the baby because of her, I..." Ji Yan's voice was a little choked, and her eyes were slightly red.

Seeing this, Lu Nanxu quickly hugged her in his arms and gently comforted her: "Don't be sad, everything is over. We will get everything back on track, including Su Su's matter, I will also take care of it. Your most important task now is to have a good rest and take care of your body. We and the baby need you."

Ji Yan found a little comfort in Lu Nanxu's arms. She nodded gently, leaned on his shoulder, and felt the hard-earned peace and warmth.

……

Before stepping into the familiar and solemn gate of the Lu family's old house, Lu Nanxu had already keenly sensed an unusual sense of oppression in the air.

Although the afterglow of the setting sun tried hard to shine, it seemed to be affected by this heaviness and became dim. He frowned and secretly speculated about the situation he was about to face.

When I opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew towards me, mixed with the unique quietness and uneasiness of the home.

In the living room, Mrs. Qin looked particularly anxious under the dim light. She paced back and forth, holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she was trying her best to calm herself.

"Young Master, you are finally back. The master is waiting for you in the study." As soon as she saw Lu Nanxu coming in, Mrs. Qin hurriedly came up to him, her voice filled with a bit of anxiety and worry.

Lu Nanxu stopped and looked at Mrs. Qin with a deep gaze, trying to read more information from her expression.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.

Mrs. Qin sighed, her eyes flickering, as if she had something to hide.

"You go in first. Hey, Miss Su..." She suddenly stopped talking here, wanting to say something but stopping herself, with a complex emotion written all over her face.

Lu Nanxu's heart sank instantly, and a familiar figure flashed through his mind. "It's her again."

He whispered to himself, his tone mixed with a bit of helplessness and indignation. He had already guessed the general situation, but Mrs. Qin's hesitation still made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"I know, don't worry, it's okay."

Lu Nanxu suppressed his emotions and nodded to Mrs. Qin to comfort her. He knew Mrs. Qin's concern and loyalty to him, and he also understood her dilemma at the moment.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin's expression relaxed a little, but the worry in her eyes had not completely disappeared. "It's good that you have confidence. The same is true for Miss Su. I thought she was pretty good before, but now..."

At this point, she stopped talking again, as if she didn't want to judge others too much behind their backs. But the unspoken dissatisfaction and disdain had been clearly conveyed to Lu Nanxu.

Lu Nanxu smiled slightly, trying to ease the atmosphere with a relaxed tone. "Sister Qin, don't worry, I know what to do. No matter who it is, they can't easily shake the foundation and principles of the Lu family."

But before he could finish his words, a cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting the stagnation in the air.

Lu Nanxu took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen. It was a call from Lu Yi.

"Young Master, bring it here." Lu Yi's brief and powerful voice came.

"Bring it in." Lu Nanxu replied briefly, then hung up the phone, nodded slightly to Mrs. Qin to show his gratitude, then walked straight through the living room and went to the study.

The door of the study was half-open. Before he entered, he heard bursts of crying and sobbing, mixed with female sobs and whispers. Lu Nanxu pushed the door open, and the scene in front of him startled him.

Su Su and Mrs. Su were hugging each other. Su Su's eyes were red and swollen, tears kept falling, and her cheeks were full of tear marks, looking extremely haggard. She was wearing a tight black dress. More than three months of pregnancy made her belly bulge slightly. Her originally slender waist was gone, and her oval face became round due to pregnancy. She seemed to have gained weight overnight.

Seeing Lu Nanxu coming in, Su Su seemed to be startled. Her body shrank involuntarily and she called out weakly, "Brother Nanxu..." The voice was full of grievance, helplessness and expectation.

Lu Nanxu's eyes involuntarily fell on Su Su's abdomen, where a new life was being nurtured, a being that he had never thought would appear in his life so suddenly. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Mrs. Su sneered at this, with obvious sarcasm and dissatisfaction in her tone: "Here comes the one who seduces and then abandons me."

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Lu Nanxu's heart, making his face instantly turn gloomy.

Father Lu was sitting behind the desk. His already ugly face became even darker when he saw Lu Nanxu. He slammed the table and shouted, "Kneel down!"

The sound echoed in the study like thunder, shocking everyone present.

Lu Nanxu did not move. He looked directly into his father's stern gaze, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

He knew that at this moment, he had to make a choice, face his past and his future.

He spoke slowly, his voice firm and powerful: "Dad, I have something to say."
