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

Chapter 220: Stealing chicken but losing rice

As the surveillance video was revealed, the atmosphere in the study instantly dropped to freezing point.

At this time, the faces of Su's father and mother also changed drastically, from initial shock and anger to embarrassment and awkwardness. They looked at each other, seemingly unable to believe the facts before their eyes.

When Father Lu saw this, his face became even colder than before. He glanced at the Su family sharply, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Now, you can give up now! From now on, please stop throwing dirty water on our Nan Xu. He is the pride of our Lu family and will not tolerate any slander!"

Mother Lu felt unhappy when she thought of the aggressive attitude of the Su family just now.

She sighed softly and said sarcastically, "It seems that you haven't dealt with your own family affairs yet. Your own daughter is not disciplined, but you actually ran to someone else's house to blame her. You don't even know how to discipline her properly."

Su's father and mother's faces turned pale and blue. They knew that they had made a huge mistake today. Not only did they fail to seek justice for their daughter, but the Lu family also exposed the truth in public, making them lose all face.

Lu Nanxu looked at this scene, and although he felt relieved, he was more disappointed and helpless with Su Su. He didn't want to make things so embarrassing, but Su Su's actions had touched his bottom line.

At this moment, without the Lu family issuing an eviction order, Su's father and mother had already realized that they could no longer stay here.

They supported each other and stood up, their eyes full of complicated emotions. Su Su was even more distraught, as if the whole world had collapsed.

"Let's go." Su's father said in a low voice, then he took Su Su's hand and hurriedly left the Lu family with Su's mother.

Their backs looked particularly embarrassed and lonely, as if they were escaping from a reality they were unwilling to face.

With the Su family's departure, peace returned to the study.

Inside the study, the lighting was soft, but it couldn't conceal the solemnity of the atmosphere.

Father Lu's eyes fell on Lu Nanxu gently and deeply. His mind was filled with the news of Ji Yan's premature birth mentioned by his son. He couldn't help but feel nervous and asked with concern: "Nanxu, how is Ji Yan now? Is she okay?"

Lu Nanxu smiled slightly, with a look of comfort in his eyes: "Dad, don't worry, Ji Yan is fine. The doctor said that she and the baby are stable and are recovering now."

At this time, Mother Lu couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she moved closer and asked with a smile, "Nan Xu, are those two children boys or girls? Who is their father? You are always so mysterious."

Lu Nanxu looked at his mother's gossipy and expectant eyes, and couldn't help but chuckled. He explained, "The boy is Ah Yan's. He has always wanted a son, and this time he finally got his wish. The girl is Min Xiao's. He is now spending all day with the little princess and is so happy."

After hearing this, Mother Lu's face was filled with surprise. She then turned to Lu Nanxu with a look of "disappointment at not being able to make a difference" and said, "What about you? Nanxu, when can you let me hold our grandson?"

Lu Nanxu touched his nose shyly, a hint of tenderness and promise flashing in his eyes: "It will be soon, Mom, don't worry, I promise you that I will let you hold your grandson soon."

After hearing this, although Mother Lu was still a little anxious, she also knew Lu Nanxu's temper. Once he decided on something, he would definitely do it. So, she could only shake her head helplessly and silently pray that day would come soon.

At this time, seeing that the mother and son had finished talking, Father Lu interrupted the topic at the right time. He looked at Lu Nanxu seriously and asked.

"Nan Xu, how are you going to deal with the Su family's affairs? Judging from what happened today, Su Su's behavior is simply unreasonable, and the Su family is only interested in profit."

Hearing this, Lu Nanxu's eyes instantly turned cold, and he expressed his position without hesitation: "Dad, I will never let them go. Su Su caused Ji Yan to give birth prematurely, which is absolutely unforgivable. Moreover, they have been using the Lu family's name to do whatever they want in the upper class society over the years. It's time for them to pay the price."

After hearing this, Father Lu nodded to show his understanding, but then reminded him, "Nan Xu, I know you know what's going on, but the Su family also has a certain amount of influence in the political world. You have just become the top leader, so you still have to be careful and cautious. Don't bring unnecessary trouble to your family and yourself because of a momentary impulse."

Lu Nanxu nodded seriously, indicating that he would be careful and at the same time assured his father that he would handle the matter properly.

He knew that whether for the benefit of the family or for Ji Yan and the future child, he had to face all this calmly and rationally.

……

As night fell, the Su family villa was utterly silent, with only a few faint sobs occasionally breaking the depressing atmosphere.

Su's father and mother took Su Su across the threshold with heavy steps and returned to this home which was supposed to be a safe haven.

As soon as he entered the door, Su's father's anger erupted like a volcano. His long-accumulated anger turned into a loud slap in the face, which fell hard on Su Su's face.

Su Su was knocked back by the sudden force, her cheeks quickly became red and swollen, and her eyes were full of disbelief and shock.

"Look at what you have done now!" Su's father's voice trembled with anger. He pointed at Su Su, furious.

"You schemed against others, did you think you could get what you wanted? And what's the result now? You failed to gain anything but ended up losing the rice. Where can we put our Su family's face?"

Su Su stood there in a daze, tears welling up in her eyes. She could never have imagined that her father would treat her so harshly. She murmured to herself, with a hint of grievance and confusion in her voice: "I... I didn't expect it to be like this..."

Seeing this, Su's mother wanted to go forward and comfort her, but reason told her that she had to wake Su Su up now.

She took Su Su's hand and tried to persuade her in a gentle voice: "Su'er, Mom knows you are very sad now, but the Lu family...they will not accept you. We all saw what happened today, you can't be stubborn anymore."

However, Su Su's ears seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't hear anything. She held Su's mother's hand tightly, as if it was her only lifeline: "Mom, help me, I must marry Lu Nanxu! I just like him, I can't live without him!"

Mother Su's heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle. She shook her head, with a bit of helplessness and determination in her tone: "Su'er, love cannot be forced. Lu Nanxu doesn't have you in his heart. Even if you marry him, you won't be happy."

Su Su became even more emotional after hearing this. She shook off her mother's hand, her eyes flashing with stubbornness and unwillingness: "You always say you love me and are willing to do anything for me, but now you can't even fulfill my little wish! You don't understand me at all!"

After saying that, she turned and ran, like a wounded deer, straight into her room, slammed the door shut, and locked herself in that little world.

Su's father and mother looked at the tightly closed door with mixed feelings. They knew that Su Su had fallen into her obsession and could not extricate herself.

This feeling of powerlessness came like a tide, drowning their reason and strength, making them feel unprecedentedly tired and confused.

"What...should we do?" Su's mother asked in a low voice, her voice full of helplessness.

Father Su was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Give her some time, I hope she can figure it out on her own. We... can only do this."

The night grew darker, and peace returned to the Su family villa. However, the deep worry and helplessness, like the night, shrouded everyone's heart.
