Chapter 1316: Don’t Be Too Anxious
Bai Xiaonian leaned against the wall, her heel almost touching the wall to hide herself in the shade under the eaves. But even so, the heat wave inundating Bai Xiaonian made her hardly able to breathe.
This happened until the form teacher stood in front of Bai Xiaonian with a pale face, shielding her from the warm sunlight that was about to invade her legs and calling out her name in a soft voice. He stuttered the truth of her mother’s death…
When the servant came over with the slightly cold water, Bai Xiaonian was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed, looking as if she had fallen asleep.
The servant slowed down and walked over quietly, placing the cup on the coffee table…
The slight sound of the coffee table and porcelain cup knocking against each other still managed to startle Bai Xiaonian.
She had fallen asleep in a daze, and for some reason, she had dreamed of the day her mother passed away.
“Madam, why don’t I help you go upstairs to sleep? It’s easy to catch a cold if you sleep here…” the servant said with concern.
Bai Xiaonian rubbed her temples, still feeling the panic from her dream. Her heart was beating rapidly…
She had already called her father to confirm that her father had already taken an afternoon nap, so she knew that her father was fine. However, she was worried that someone might have barged in before her father’s door was closed properly!
But if she were to call him again, she might disturb her father’s rest. She wanted to contact the people Lu Jinnan assigned to safeguard her father, but before she could call Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian received a message from him.
Lu Jinnan said that something very important had come up and that he had to leave with Fu Huai’an. Since it wasn’t convenient for him to call, he could only send Bai Xiaonian a message in a hurry. He also said that Lin Nuan would pick Bai Xiaonian up and bring her to the Fu residence. He would come back in a few days to fetch her.
Bai Xiaonian’s heart skipped a beat. If Lu Jinnan couldn’t even call her, then… could it be that it wasn’t Old Bai who had gotten into trouble, but Lu Jinnan?
A strong sense of fear struck Bai Xiaonian. Her hand that was holding onto her phone trembled a little. When she dialed Lu Jinnan’s number, it was indicated that the phone was already turned off.
Had something happened to Lu Jinnan?
Bai Xiaonian couldn’t sit still. She called Lu Jinnan again, but no matter how many times she tried, his phone was still turned off…
She felt horrible. Regardless of what Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan were going to do, she knew there would definitely be danger!
The lingering feelings in her heart, just like when her mother had passed away, multiplied. Bai Xiaonian’s heart rate accelerated, and she was heaving from shortness of breath.
She had to think of a way to stop Lu Jinnan!
She had a feeling that regardless of what Lu Jinnan was going to do with Fu Huai’an, something terrible was going to happen to them.
Bai Xiaonian was terrified that she would receive the same news about Lu Jinnan as the one she received about her mother’s.
“Madam, are you okay?” When the servant saw Bai Xiaonian’s pale face and trembling hands, she panicked, fearing that something might happen to her.
Bai Xiaonian couldn’t be bothered to reply. The moment she dialed Lin Nuan’s number, the doorbell rang.
The servant opened the door and saw that it was Lin Nuan.
Knowing the relationship between Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian, the servant quickly said to Lin Nuan, “Mrs. Fu, my madam doesn’t look very well. Her face is pale, and her hands are shaking!”
Hearing the servant call Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian held onto the sofa’s armrest and stood up…
Lin Nuan took out her phone from her bag and walked towards Bai Xiaonian. She hung up the call from Bai Xiaonian and saw that her friend’s expression indeed looked terrible.
“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?” Lin Nuan asked.
On the way there, Lin Nuan had already thought of what to say to Bai Xiaonian. She would tell her that Fu Huai’an and the others had to leave for Russia for an urgent meeting there. They had already boarded the plane, so it wasn’t convenient for them to contact the outside world.
“Do you know where Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai’an are?” Lin Nuan asked anxiously.
Lin Nuan nodded. She calmly put down her bag and helped Bai Xiaonian sit down. “Don’t be too anxious. I know where they are. Didn’t the Kaide Corporation develop that turbine recently? There might be a problem with the turbine, so Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai’an had to go to Russia to resolve the issue themselves. Because it’s such a confidential matter, they can’t contact the outside world!”
Bai Xiaonian still felt uneasy. Her brows were tightly furrowed, but… if it was regarding the turbine, Bai Xiaonian could understand.
“Does it have to be that strict? Can’t he even call his pregnant wife? Why must he inform me through a message?” Bai Xiaonian gripped her phone.
“Did Lu Jinnan send you a message? This matter requires both leaders of the Kaide Corporation to go together… Huai’an alone wouldn’t do.” Lin Nuan forced a calm smile at Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian frowned.
Right now, her mind was filled with Lu Jinnan’s safety. She didn’t notice that Lin Nuan, who wasn’t good at lying, had subconsciously touched her ears multiple times as she spoke.
“Fu Huai’an said that Lu Jinnan was worried about you before he left, so he asked me to bring you over to the Fu residence!” Lin Nuan grabbed Bai Xiaonian’s sweaty hand. “Perfect timing. You can play with Yuan Yuan, so the baby in your stomach will already start developing a bond with Older Brother Tuan Tuan and Older Sister Yuan Yuan.”
Bai Xiaonian let out a long exhale. The suffocating feeling in her chest didn’t lessen at all. She frowned as she gently patted her chest. “I still have a bad feeling about this. Can you… prevent them from going?”
“But the plane should have taken off by now. Don’t worry about it…” Lin Nuan smiled and held Bai Xiaonian’s hand. “Let’s go… we’ll go to the Fu residence. Yuan Yuan is still waiting for us! Get the servants to pack up what you need. You only have to stay there for a few days. Lu Jinnan will pick you up as soon as he’s back.”
Bai Xiaonian frowned. “Why don’t I just get my dad to come over and keep me company? I don’t want to go… It’ll only make me feel even more anxious.”
“Uncle is getting old, so it’s inconvenient for him to take care of you. I do want to stay here… But I also have to take care of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan at home, especially since Huai’an isn’t around. I’ve thought about it, so the only solution is to bring you to the Fu residence with me. This is also Lu Jinnan’s wish!”
Hearing Lin Nuan say that it was also what Lu Jinnan wanted, Bai Xiaonian eventually nodded and relented.
After getting the servants to pack up a few maternity clothes and skincare products, Bai Xiaonian followed Lin Nuan to the Fu residence.
On the way there, Lin Nuan kept holding Bai Xiaonian’s hand, praying in her heart that Lu Jinnan would be fine.
When Mu Taotao was driving, she had wanted to say a few jokes to lighten up the atmosphere, but seeing that Bai Xiaonian was distracted, she didn’t say anything.
…
The moment Fu Huai’an got out of the car at the hospital, he saw Xu Wanwan was already waiting for him in the parking lot. Xu Wanwan told him that Bai Jinyu had asked her to wait for him there to instantly inform him about Lu Jinnan’s condition. Bai Jinyu had already entered the operating room.
Lu Jinnan hit his head, causing an artery to burst in his brain and localized bleeding in his skull. His arms and legs were fractured, and his ribs were broken, but thankfully, none of his internal organs were injured. The injury was severe… but as long as they could stop the bleeding in his brain, he would be fine.
Bai Jinyu was a top surgeon in Haicheng Medical University, and he had also established a reputation internationally.
