Chapter 1276 - And Not if His Wife Would Suffer Grievance as a Price (1/2)

Seeing Lu Jinnan keeping quiet, Bai Xiaonian looked towards him. At the thought of Hong Jinyun’s current predicament, she wondered if Lu Jinnan would feel compassionate towards her…

Now that no one was taking care of Hong Jinyun, and since her injury and her father’s cerebral hemorrhage and hospitalization was caused by Hong Jinyun’s mother, would Lu Jinnan take care of Hong Jinyun again after her mother returned to America?

Bai Xiaonian set down the fruit fork in her hand and asked Lu Jinnan, “Then, after Hong Jinyun’s mother returns to America, are you going to continue supporting Hong Jinyun?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaonian’s father also looked at Lu Jinnan…

Bai Xiaonian’s father suddenly felt conflicted. He selfishly hoped that Lu Jinnan would stay out of her affairs, yet he couldn’t help worry about what was going to happen to that child if she was left alone.

Lu Jinnan smiled and said to Bai Xiaonian, “If I wasn’t married, I surely would! But since I’m married… I’m no longer only responsible for myself, so it’s better for me to keep a distance from my ex-girlfriend! After all… even if it’s a good deed, I need to first consider if it will make my wife feel uncomfortable!”

Bai Xiaonian’s father felt happy from the bottom of his heart upon hearing this.

If he said he was staying out of her affairs, he would appear too heartless…

If he said he was going to support her, Lu Jinnan had to consider Bai Xiaonian’s feelings!

Moreover, after getting married, everything Lu Jinnan had belonged to Bai Xiaonian. So, it wasn’t like he could give her money if he wanted to!

Providing monetary support to others was something that could only be done if life permitted it.

And not if his wife would suffer grievance as a price.

Even Bai Xiaonian was surprised by Lu Jinnan’s answer. She had thought that Lu Jinnan’s greatest concession would be to discuss whether he could continue supporting Hong Jinyun with her.

Bai Xiaonian’s lips arched. She felt rather touched.

Lu Jinnan hadn’t said this to test Bai Xiaonian or as a “retreat for the sake of advancing” tactic. After saying that, he cleared away the utensils Bai Xiaonian’s father used and didn’t mention a word about this matter again.

Bai Xiaonian’s father also heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid his son-in-law would show compassion and cause his daughter to feel uncomfortable. She was pregnant, and getting angry wasn’t good for the baby.

Even more so, he didn’t wish to see his son-in-law and daughter quarrel over this matter!

“Want a piece of fruit?” Bai Xiaonian raised the fruit fork and asked Lu Jinnan, as if rewarding him.

Lu Jinnan closed the lid to the thermos, then walked to Bai Xiaonian and bent over to bite the fruit that Bai Xiaonian delivered to his mouth. “Tastes pretty good… You and the baby should eat more!”

Bai Xiaonian nodded with a smile.

…

Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian accompanied Bai Xiaonian’s father all the way until 8 pm. On the way back, Lu Jinnan received a call from his father, who said that Lu Jinbei suddenly brought a lady back, announcing that he was getting married to her!

Lu Jinnan’s father wasn’t at all prepared for this. Hence, he called Lu Jinnan to see if he and Bai Xiaonian were free to make a trip back. He really had no idea how to handle this situation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinnan immediately recalled the social media posts Bai Xiaonian mentioned in the morning.

After hanging up the call, Bai Xiaonian asked when she saw Lu Jinnan’s frown, “Did Dad say something’s wrong?”

Lu Jinnan didn’t hide it from Bai Xiaonian. “I’ll send you back first and make a trip to Dad’s later. Dad said.. Lu Jinbei brought back a girl and announced that he’s getting married. He didn’t even tell Dad ahead of time, so Dad was caught by surprise and doesn’t know what to do. Let me make a trip back!”
