Chapter 783 Bo Jinyan's Compromise
He and Xiaoruo no longer want to get involved; they want to withdraw completely from this matter and simply remain bystanders.
I just don't know if Lu Jinan is willing.
“Our Nan Chu risked his life to save Mrs. Bo. What, Mr. Bo, do you want to repay kindness with enmity now? After stirring up the conflict between our Lu and Xu families, you just want to walk away so easily?” Upon hearing this, Lu Jinan’s face quickly darkened: “Mr. Bo, you can’t be so heartless and ungrateful.”
Nan Chu risked her life to save Sang Ruo, who is still in the intensive care unit receiving treatment. It is unknown whether she will have any complications after the surgery.
Now that things have finally taken a turn for the better, and the truth has been exposed, instead of trying to help the Lu family solve their problems, they're actually thinking of getting away unscathed?
It's not that easy! You're dreaming!
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's usually amiable face finally darkened: "What do you mean by this, Mr. Lu? Haven't I done enough to help your Lu family? Do you still want me to continue interfering in your family's affairs? Don't you think that's going too far?"
Whose family affairs are so deeply interfered with by an outsider?
He has done his duty and obligation to this extent. Although Lu Nanchu saved Xiao Ruo's life and should repay him in kind, he has done enough.
Don't push your luck!
"What's so excessive? When Nan Chu risked her life to protect Mrs. Bo, why didn't you think of anything excessive?" Lu Jinan directly used Lu Nan Chu's life-saving grace to shut him up: "President Bo, things have come to this point. You can't just leave heartlessly after Nan Chu protected Mrs. Bo!"
"Isn't that unfair to Nan Chu?"
His words clearly indicated that he wanted Bo Jinyan to continue participating and did not want him to withdraw.
Bo Jinyan understood his implication and sneered inwardly, "I'm heartless? President Lu, if I were truly heartless, I wouldn't have waited until today to try to extricate myself. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with me. I should have just watched from the sidelines, but I insisted on keeping it a secret for you until today in order to repay Nan Chu's favor."
"Isn't that enough? Besides, the matter has already been exposed, and there's no need for me to help cover it up anymore. I don't understand, Mr. Lu, why are you unwilling to let me go?"
He and Xiaoruo always felt that now was the best time to back out of their relationship.
If he doesn't back down now, it will be much harder to back down later, and Lu Jinan won't let him back down easily.
After all, having two groups of people do it will make things twice as efficient.
"You've already gone this far, and now that you've messed things up, you think you can just walk away? It's not that simple!" Lu Jinan was determined not to let them leave: "President Bo, it's not that I don't want you to leave, but you must stay here until my daughter is fully recovered!"
This is the bottom line he can compromise on.
After all, Nan Chu saved Sang Ruo's life, and he could never repay this debt of gratitude in his entire life!
Bo Jinyan felt he was being too greedy: "What do you mean by 'must'? President Lu, don't you think your request is excessive?"
He paid her medical bills until she was fully recovered. He had no problem with it; it was what he should do.
But Lu Jinan insisted that he had to help them, which was going too far.
What is Lu Jinan's purpose? It is to confront Xu Yi and his son, or more precisely, to confront the entire Xu family.
The Xu family is his mother's family, and Xu Chen is his cousin. He has already done more than enough to help them in order to repay their kindness.
He's still not satisfied?!
"What's excessive?" Lu Jinan didn't think he had gone too far at all: "My daughter is still lying in the hospital because of Mrs. Bo. For that alone, I don't think it's excessive at all! If Mr. Bo doesn't want to help, I can have my men make Mrs. Bo suffer all the hardships my daughter endured for her!"
The Xu family and the Lu family are currently in a very complicated relationship. Without Bo Jinyan's covert support, there are many things he simply cannot accomplish.
Call him despicable or shameless, but he simply couldn't bear to see Bo Jinyan leave at this time!
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's expression was so ugly it defied description, and even his voice sounded as if it were coated with a thin layer of ice: "Are you threatening me?"
Did he think that this method would make him submit?
Little did he know, he hated threats the most!
“I don’t want to threaten you. After all, we’re partners, and we each get what we need. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Lu Jinan just wanted to keep him calm for now and get through this hurdle. “President Bo, when the time comes, you can naturally make a clean getaway. Why rush things?”
These words were his final piece of advice to Lu Nanchu, given from the perspective of his father.
It's not that he doesn't want to let him go, but that he can't let him go right now.
For a fleeting moment, Bo Jinyan wished he could stab this old bastard to death!
So greedy.
After an unknown amount of time, Bo Jinyan finally found his voice: "President Lu, don't you know that greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant? Being too greedy will backfire."
"Backlash?" Lu Jinan sneered, glancing at him sideways: "Do you think I, who have weathered so many storms over the years, would be afraid of such a small backlash? Mr. Bo, this old man is just offering a friendly reminder, but I still want you to think it over carefully."
"Don't make decisions you'll regret."
He only asked them to stay and help because he saw that the couple had a close relationship with Nan Chu.
If their relationship were even slightly strained, he wouldn't have allowed Bo Jinyan to interfere.
After all, he was just an outsider and was not suitable to get involved in the conflict between the Lu family and the Xu family.
In the end, Bo Jinyan agreed, considering Lu Nanchu's serious illness.
...
When he brought the news to Sang Ruo, it was already time for her to undergo surgery.
At 2 p.m. the following day, Sang Ruo was wheeled into the operating room on time.
Bo Jinyan waited outside the operating room for more than three hours before the red light above the operating room went out and a doctor in a white coat came out: "Which one of you is Miss Sang Ruo's family member?"
"It's me!" Bo Jinyan rushed forward immediately, asking anxiously, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
"The surgery was successful, but the patient's health condition was too poor before, so she needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time. Her family can wait for her in the ward."
After saying that, the doctor left.
When Sang Ruo was wheeled into the VIP ward, she was still unconscious and didn't wake up until it was completely dark.
