Chapter 778 The Helplessness of a Son-in-Law

The Lu family only has one daughter, Lu Nanchu, who is their only daughter and the apple of the eye of the entire Lu family.

He had put so much effort into raising Nan Chu, and given her feelings for Xu Chen, if Xu Chen's intentions were even slightly worse, it would be a certainty that she would be exploited and left without any offspring!

Therefore, he absolutely cannot afford to be careless!

"So what if he's a live-in son-in-law? Isn't a live-in son-in-law a human being? Can you trample on his dignity like this?!" Xu Chen felt that he was not respected at all: "Uncle Lu, it's true that I'm not married to Nan Chu yet, but I am still her fiancé! I have the right to know her whereabouts!"

"You're blatantly covering this up and depriving me of my right to know. You don't treat me like family at all!"

If Lu Jinan doesn't trust him at all, why did he agree to let him be with Nan Chu in the first place? And even get engaged?

Moreover, it was Lu Jinan who made the request for him to marry into the family! Yet now he's treating him like this... Doesn't he think his behavior is inconsistent?

He really couldn't understand what Lu Jinan was thinking.

Faced with his thunderous roar, Lu Jinan remained calm and composed, his tone indifferent: "Family? You've already married into the family, don't you know your place in the Lu family? A man who marries into the family has no right to speak! Understand?"

He is now nothing more than Xu Yi's unwanted son. Even his own biological father has disowned him. Why should he be given respect?

Respect is only given when he is still a son of the Xu family and has not been kicked out of the family as the Second Young Master Xu.

His current situation is almost no different from that of stray cats and dogs on the street. The fact that he is allowed to live in the Lu family is already a great favor to him.

"Lu Jinan! Don't go too far!" Xu Chen was getting angry at his condescending attitude: "It's true that I married into your Lu family, but I'm also a person! I have the right to know where Nan Chu is! Stop trying to argue with me. I just want to know where Nan Chu is?"

"Where exactly is she staying at the First People's Hospital? Tell me clearly!"

If he doesn't explain this to him clearly today, he can forget about living a peaceful life! He won't let him get away with it!

Lu Jinan just rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything, clearly not wanting to tell him Lu Nanchu's whereabouts.

"Lu Jinan! Tell me!" Xu Chen roared, pointing his finger at his nose. "I'm going to see what has become of Nan Chu! Why has she disappeared for almost half a month?!"

Is he really that seriously ill? Or is it just a deliberate act of revenge?

He was determined to get to the bottom of this.

But since Xu Chen had no influence, Lu Jinan felt his threat was easily refuted: "Why should I tell you? If you're so eager to know, go investigate yourself! What are you doing here causing trouble?"

"Do you think that if you keep making a scene like this, I'll tell you where Nan Chu is?" Lu Jinan paused, then smiled coldly, "You're being far too naive."

Since he could get Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan to help him cover it up, he was fully prepared to prevent the Xu family from being wiped out!

Otherwise, given Xu Yi's greed and ambition, he would definitely have taken advantage of the situation.

He really has to be on guard.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything good out of him, Xu Chen began to back down: "Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll find out myself! But I want to remind you, no matter how much you guard against me, your daughter still loves me..."

"When you get old one day, or when something happens, the person who will make the final decision will still be me, Xu Chen!"

After leaving those words, Xu Chen turned and left.

Lu Jinan watched his departing figure with a cold gaze.

...

In the afternoon, at the First People's Hospital of Beijing.

Sang Ruo stayed with Lu Nanchu until she finished lunch and went to sleep before returning to her own ward with Bo Jinyan.

No sooner had she left than Xu Chen rushed into the inpatient building of the First People's Hospital and began searching for Lu Nanchu's whereabouts floor by floor.

The nurses on duty on each floor quickly noticed his unusual behavior and approached him to ask, "Excuse me, sir, who are you looking for? You're disturbing the patients' rest. If you don't have anything else to do, please leave."

"Get out of my way!" Xu Chen had no time to talk to her about this. "All I want to do right now is find my fiancée. She's hospitalized in your hospital!"

If Lu Jinan won't tell him, then he'll find it himself!

Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, even if he had to search almost the entire capital, he would still find her!

Seeing him searching room by room, the nurse said somewhat exasperatedly, "What's your fiancée's name? What kind of illness does she have? Searching like this will disturb the other patients' rest!"

"My fiancée's name is Lu Nanchu. She just had a kidney transplant. Where is she staying?" Xu Chen asked anxiously, as if he wanted to search every corner of the hospital. "If you're not going to help me find her, then get out of my way! Don't get in my way!"

As he spoke, he pushed the nurses away, ignoring them.

Kidney transplant?

The nurse, being a professional, immediately said, "Patients who have undergone kidney transplants generally don't stay in regular wards. You might want to try looking in the intensive care unit; that's where patients who have undergone kidney transplants are most likely to be."

Although she couldn't tell him directly which ward Lu Nanchu was in, she could determine the specific type of ward based on Lu Nanchu's illness.

She immediately narrowed down Xu Chen's search area.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen stopped searching and asked, "Nurse, where is the intensive care unit?"

"Take the elevator directly to the sixteenth floor, which is where the intensive care unit is located."

The nurse pointed him in the right direction.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen was overjoyed: "Thank you!"

After thanking them, I turned around and pressed the elevator button. I took the elevator all the way up to the sixteenth floor, which is the intensive care unit floor.

The intensive care unit has fewer wards than the regular wards downstairs, but the wards are larger and there are more critically ill patients, making them relatively easy to find.

As Xu Chen passed by a guarded intensive care unit, he subconsciously glanced ahead.

That one glance was all it took for him to see the person he had been searching for for almost half a month actually appear here!

Overjoyed, he quickly noticed the men in black guarding the door, and felt that they looked somewhat familiar.

Until one person appeared, he was able to determine who was behind these people!

Suddenly, Ah Cheng, whose arm he had broken earlier, appeared here.
