Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What kind of person was Wen Jin? How could he allow you to speak so arrogantly as if you were stepping on his head? Even if it was someone from the Lu family, Wen Jin might not completely give in.
Furthermore, although Lu Chongming was Lu Chongguang’s younger brother, he had already been marginalized within the Lu family.
This was partly due to Lu Chongming’s improper relationship with Han Huiru, which had strained the relationship between the Lu family and the Xu family. Lu Chongming hadn’t even divorced Xu Shuhui, who rightfully remained as Mrs. Lu.
In other words, Xu Shuhui’s status within the Lu family should have been higher than Lu Chongming’s.
After all, the Xu family had a significant presence, and the ties between the Lu family and the Xu family ran deep.
Wen Jin listened to Lu Chongming and calmly interlocked his fingers, looking at Lu Chongming. “So, Uncle Lu, how would you like me to handle this?”
Lu Chongming was momentarily taken aback by Wen Jin’s response. He hadn’t expected Wen Jin to throw the question back at him.
As he gazed at Wen Jin, Lu Chongming understood that Wen Jin didn’t hold him in high regard.
Attempting to leverage the Lu family to pressure Wen Jin seemed illegitimate.
However, Lu Chongming nodded after a brief pause. “Alright, since you’ve asked, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll tell you straight.”
“Please go ahead.” Wen Jin remained polite.
However, in Lu Chongming’s view, this politeness was merely superficial.
Lu Chongming continued straightforwardly, “When you and Nanxin visited the
Lu family, you clearly stated that you would get married upon returning to Jiang City. That’s why we came here today. We didn’t anticipate hearing news of Nanxin’s suicide.
He remained composed, but a trace of threat could be discerned in his tone. “Over the years, Nanxin has invested so much in you. Even when you followed your grandfather’s instructions and got married, Nanxin never gave up. Now, don’t you owe Nanxin an explanation?”
Wen Jin listened without displaying much reaction.
“Nanxin is, after all, a member of the Lu family. The Lu family won’t tolerate such matters,” Lu Chongming asserted.
Wen Jin nodded, “When Grandfather returns to Jiang City, he will naturally provide a resolution to this matter. After all, Grandfather is still here, and I cannot overstep.”
Wen Jin calmly introduced Wen Zhanming into the conversation.
Lu Chongming thought he would receive a definite response from Wen Jin.
However, he didn’t expect Wen Jin to only mention Wen Zhanming.
Lu Chongming had an indescribable feeling that the marriage between Wen Jin and Lu Nanxin might be in jeopardy.
Han Huiru furrowed her brows as she looked at Wen Jin. “Wen Jin, Nanxin can’t handle the stress. You know her situation. If you don’t clarify this misunderstanding between the two of you, who knows what might happen?”
Her eyes welled up with tears, but she didn’t press further.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to Nanxin,” Wen Jin assured.
Lu Chongming nodded. Since they had discussed it, being overly aggressive wouldn’t help.
Besides, Lu Chongming understood what kind of person Wen Jin was.
Therefore, he knew not to push Wen Jin too far.
However, Lu Chongming added, “When you and Nanxin got married, I also informed the Lu family’s old master that when your grandfather returns to Jiang City, this matter will be finalized. I don’t want any mishaps, and it will also ease my concerns.”
Wen Jin acknowledged with a hum. It was unclear whether he had agreed or not.
At that moment, there was a slight movement at the bedside. Lu Nanxin opened her eyes and, upon realizing that she was in the ward, remained silent, biting her lip.
Her tears seemed uncontrollable, streaming down her face.
Han Huiru also felt like crying as she comforted Lu Nanxin. “Nanxin, don’t cry. Your eyes can’t bear it. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Look, Wen Jin is here, isn’t he?”
Lu Nanxin didn’t respond. She didn’t even look at Wen Jin. Instead, she simply hugged Han Huiru. “Mommy, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“You silly girl, you’re Mommy’s precious. If Mommy doesn’t worry about you, who else will she worry about?” Han Huiru reassured her.
Whenever Han Huiru mentioned this, Lu Chongming would feel wronged.
This time, Lu Chongming didn’t say anything and could only try to reassure her. “This matter isn’t that easy.”
“It’s just a divorce. Is it that difficult?” Han Huiru inquired.
Lu Chongming automatically changed the topic. “There’s a fragrance-making competition next week. You have the recipe, right? I had someone make it. You can have Nanxin participate. I’ll reach out to the judges and secure an award.
This way, the Wen family won’t have much to say.”
“That sounds about right,” Han Huiru responded with a snort.
Han Huiru’s eyes darkened, but she refrained from saying more.
Han Huiru had used some tactics to acquire the perfume recipe so she could get closer to the Lu family and establish herself within it.
After all, the Lu family would surely attend the fragrance competition held every four years.
As long as Lu Nanxin won an award, she could create a favorable buzz, making many things easier.
In Han Huiru’s view, she would go to great lengths to provide anything that Lu Nanxin liked.
What was Wen Jin’s ex-wife?
Han Huiru didn’t pay it much attention.
At the same time, the ward was quiet. Wen Jin stared at Lu Nanxin for a while before speaking calmly. “Why did you do this? Just because I didn’t chase after you?”
Lu Nanxin remained silent, biting her lip until it turned pale. Her already distressed expression looked even more unsettling.
Wen Jin’s slender, well-defined fingers gently took Lu Nanxin’s hand away. Lu Nanxin’s eyes were alarmingly red as she spoke with a tone of grievance, “I thought you no longer wanted me and wanted to be with Yu Anwan. After all, she’s Zhanyan’s biological mother. That’s an unchangeable fact, isn’t it?” “So you resorted to attempting suicide?” Wen Jin inquired with indifference.
Lu Nanxin dared not speak..
