Bai Xiaonian leaned against the wall, her heels almost touching the wall to hide in the shade under the eaves. But even so, the heat wave in the air made it hard for Bai Xiaonian to breathe.
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. She called her name in a low voice and told Bai Xiaonian the truth that her mother had passed away in an accident …
When the servant came over with the slightly cold water, Bai Xiaonian was actually sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed and brows tightly furrowed. It seemed like she had fallen asleep.
The servant slowed down, walked over quietly, and put the glass on the tea table.
The soft sound of the coffee table and the porcelain cup knocking against each other startled Bai Xiaonian.
She was in a daze just now, and for some reason, she dreamed of the day her mother passed away.
"Madam, why don't you go upstairs to sleep? It's easy to catch a cold sleeping downstairs," the servant said with concern.
Bai Xiaonian rubbed the space between her brows. The panic from the dream still lingered in her heart, and her heart was beating especially fast …
She had already called her father to confirm earlier. Right now, Bai Xiaonian's father had already taken an afternoon nap, so there shouldn't be any problems. However, she was worried that someone might have barged in because her father hadn't closed the door properly.
If nothing happened after she called, she might disturb her father's rest. She wanted to contact the people Lu Jinnan had sent to protect her father, but before she could call Lu Jinnan, she received a message from him.
Lu Jinnan said that he had something very important to deal with with Fu Huai 'an, so it wasn't convenient for him to call. He could only hurry up and send Bai Xiaonian a message. He also said that Lin Nuan would pick Bai Xiaonian up at the Fu residence later and that he would pick her up at the Fu residence when he returned in a few days.
Bai Xiaonian's heart skipped a beat. Lu Jinnan didn't even have the time to make a call. Could it be that the one in trouble wasn't Lao Bai but Lu Jinnan?
A strong sense of fear assaulted Bai Xiaonian. Her hand that was holding the phone trembled a little. She dialed the number, but the phone was turned off.
Is something going to happen to Lu Jinnan?
Bai Xiaonian couldn't sit still and called Fu Huai 'an again, but his phone was still turned off.
She didn't feel good. No matter what Fu Huai 'an and Lu Jinnan were going to do, there would definitely be danger.
The lingering feeling of her mother's passing was magnified several times. Bai Xiaonian's heartbeat quickened, and her breathing became labored.
She had to find a way to stop Lu Jinnan.
She had a feeling that no matter what Lu Jinnan was going to do with Fu Huai 'an, there would definitely be danger.
Bai Xiaonian was extremely afraid that the final news that awaited her would be the same grievous news that her mother had received back then.
"Madam, are you alright?" Seeing Bai Xiaonian's pale face and trembling hands, the servant panicked, fearing that something had happened to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian couldn't be bothered to reply. Just as she dialed Lin Nuan's number, the doorbell rang.
The servant opened the door and saw Lin Nuan.
Knowing the relationship between Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian, the servant hurriedly said to Lin Nuan, "Mrs. Fu, our madam doesn't seem to be in a good condition. Her face is ghastly pale, and her hands are trembling!"
Hearing the servant call Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian stood up with the help of the sofa armrest.
Lin Nuan took out her phone from her bag and walked towards Bai Xiaonian. Bai Xiaonian hung up the call, her countenance extremely grim.
"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 say that Fu Huai 'an and the others had already boarded a plane to Russia for a meeting, and it wasn't convenient for them to contact the outside world.
"Do you know where Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai 'an went?" she asked anxiously the moment she saw Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan nodded. She put down her bag and helped Bai Xiaonian sit down. "Don't be too anxious. I know about this. Didn't the Kaide Corporation develop that engine previously? Because of this, the higher-ups told Lu Jinnan and Fu Huai 'an to go to Russia for a meeting. Because it's a confidential meeting, they can't contact the outside world!"
Bai Xiaonian still felt uneasy, and her brows were tightly furrowed. But if it was related to the engine, Bai Xiaonian could understand.
"Are they that strict? They can't even call my pregnant wife at home, and they have to send a message!" Bai Xiaonian gripped her phone.
"Did Lu Jinnan send you a message? I thought that Huai 'an was the only one who could go with the Kaide Corporation." Lin Nuan pretended to be calm and smiled at Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian frowned.
Right now, her mind was filled with Lu Jinnan's safety, so she didn't notice that this friend of hers, who usually wasn't good at lying, had subconsciously touched her ears a few times as she spoke.
"Fu Huai 'an said that Lu Jinnan was worried when he left, so he asked me to bring you to the Fu residence!" Lin Nuan grabbed Bai Xiaonian's hand, which was covered in cold sweat. "You can play with Yuan Yuan and let the little baby in your tummy develop feelings for Brother Tuan Tuan and Sister Yuan Yuan."
Bai Xiaonian let out a long exhale. The tightness in her chest didn't improve at all. She frowned and gently patted her chest. "I keep having a bad feeling about this. Can we not let them go?"
"The plane should have taken off by now, right?" Lin Nuan smiled and held Bai Xiaonian's hand. "Let's go to the Fu residence. Yuan Yuan is still waiting for us! Get the servants to pack up the things you'll need. You'll only be staying for a few days! Lu Jinnan will be back after the meeting."
Bai Xiaonian frowned. "Why don't I ask my dad to come over and keep me company? I won't go over … I feel really flustered."
"Uncle is old, and it's not convenient for him to take care of you. I'd like to stay here, but Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan can't be left alone, especially when Huai 'an isn't around. After thinking about it, I can only bring you back to the Fu residence. Lu Jinnan has the same intention!"
Hearing Lin Nuan say that Lu Jinnan had the same intention, Bai Xiaonian eventually nodded and compromised.
Bai Xiaonian asked the servants to pack up a few clothes and maternity pillows, as well as the maternity skincare products she usually used, then followed Lin Nuan to the Fu residence.
On the way there, Lin Nuan kept holding Bai Xiaonian's hand, praying that Lu Jinnan would be fine.
When Mu Taotao drove, she had wanted to say a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere, but seeing that Bai Xiaonian was distracted, she didn't say much.
At the hospital, Fu Huai 'an had just gotten out of the car when he saw Xu Wanwan waiting for him in the parking lot. Xu Wanwan said that Bai Jinyu had asked her to wait for Fu Huai' an there and tell him about Lu Jinnan's condition. Bai Jinyu had already entered the operating theater.
Lu Jinnan had hit his head, and there were bleeding spots in his skull. His arms and legs were fractured to varying degrees, and his ribs were broken. Thankfully, his internal organs weren't injured. In any case, his injuries were serious, but as long as the bleeding in his skull was stopped, it wouldn't be a big problem. In other words, he looked to be in a more critical condition.
Bai Jinyu was a big shot in Haicheng Medical University's Department of Neurology, and he had a good reputation internationally.
