Chapter 263 The traitor
Xu Nuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, and poked Lu Chen's chest lightly with his fingertips: "You are sensible."
Lu Chen held her close to him and said softly, "Although I turned down Lin Ya's invitation this time, I would like to invite her to our house for a meal in a few days, okay?"
Xu Nuo raised her eyes and looked into his, her gaze gentle: "Am I so unkind in your eyes? You cherish the friendship we had when we were young, I understand."
A hint of warmth flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, and then he took the initiative to suggest: "The way that boy looked at Lin Ya couldn't be hidden."
Xu Nuo immediately understood and nodded with a smile: "Okay! I'll listen to you."
If we can bring Wu Yue and Lin Ya together, it would be a good thing.
After dinner, the two of them snuggled on the sofa for a while, and then Xu Nuo got up and went to the study to finish the third volume of the medical science comic book that he had been putting off for a long time.
In addition, she is currently planning a professional collection of surgical cases, intending to compile the typical cases accumulated over the years into a book to fill the gap in professional medical works on the market.
Just as she stepped onto the stairs, the phone rang suddenly. Lu Chen picked up the phone and heard Bai Qiuning's urgent voice in the receiver.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he shouted in a deep voice: "Nono, don't go upstairs yet."
"What's wrong?" Xu Nuo turned around and saw Lu Chen had picked up his coat. "Something happened at Brigade Commander Lu's house." He walked quickly to her side. "We have to go there right now."
Xu Nuo hurriedly grabbed Lu Chen's sleeve and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Chen did not stop, but said in a deep voice: "Let's talk on the way."
In the twilight, the two men hurried towards Brigade Commander Lu's home.
His house is located at the back of the compound and is a small two-story stand-alone building.
Aunt Tong loves flowers and plants. The roses she carefully planted are all over the iron fence. The pink flowers sway gently in the evening breeze, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
But the current situation in Brigade Commander Lu’s home can hardly be described as “comfortable”.
He followed Lu Chen into Brigade Commander Lu’s house. The mess in front of him made Xu Nuo gasp.
The dining table fell to the ground, the plates and bowls broke into pieces, the soup spilled on the concrete floor, and even the enamel pot was deformed.
Liao Qing was bending over to clean up the mess on the floor. When he saw them come in, he gave them a helpless look.
Bai Qiuning walked forward quickly and said in a low voice, "You guys are finally here. You've been making a lot of noise for a long time."
Brigade Commander Lu stood in front of the window with his back to the crowd, the cigarette in his hand flickering.
The most eye-catching person was Lu Kun, who was kneeling in front of the door of the bedroom on the first floor, with his head hung and his body hunched, looking completely devoid of energy.
Lu Chen's heart sank slightly. He went up to greet Brigade Commander Lu and asked him about the situation: "Brigade Commander, what happened?"
Brigade Commander Lu turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot: "Ask him!"
He pointed his finger at his kneeling son and said in a hoarse voice, "This bastard! He won't stop until he breaks up this family."
Just now on the phone, Bai Qiuning only said that Aunt Tong had fainted and was seriously injured.
He pulled Xu Nuo over in a hurry to help, but he was surprised by the scene in front of him.
Liao Qing waved to Lu Chen to signal him to come over, and said in a low voice: "The brigade commander just overturned the table, and he is still angry. Don't rush to persuade him."
Lu Chen nodded in understanding and turned to look at Xu Nuo: "Aunt Tong is in the inner room, go and see her."
Liao Qing quickly added: "We're waiting for you, come in quickly."
Xu Nuo walked past Lu Kun who was kneeling on the ground and gently pushed open the door.
I saw Zhang Juan from the health center busy at work. The medicine box was open and she was carefully wiping the wound on Aunt Tong's forehead with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol between tweezers.
Aunt Tong closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Xu Nuo is here!" Zhang Juan stood up with a sense of relief and made way for him. "I really don't dare to work on the cut on your forehead. I'll just wait for you to sew the cosmetic needle."
Xu Nuo rolled up his sleeves without saying a word, washed his hands, and came back.
While disinfecting her hands with alcohol, she observed Aunt Tong's injuries. There was a three-centimeter-long wound on her left forehead, with the skin and flesh turned outward and still bleeding.
"Aunt Tong, bear with it." Xu Nuo took the tools and began to suture her. The needle tip pierced the skin, causing Aunt Tong to frown continuously.
Fortunately, Xu Nuo’s suturing technique was very skilled and fast, and it was almost finished in just a few minutes.
After finishing the last stitch, Xu Nuo carefully put gauze on Aunt Tong and gently reminded her: "Don't let the wound get wet. I'll come back to change the dressing in the next two days."
Aunt Tong opened her tearful eyes and said, "Thank you Xu Nuo, and thank you Xiao Zhang'er, you have worked hard tonight."
Zhang Juan said as she packed up her medicine box, "Aunt Tong, these are just small matters. You don't have to be so polite. I won't worry about you if Xu Nuo is here."
"I'm sorry to have delayed your dinner. Go back and eat."
"Okay." Zhang Juan smiled and prepared to leave with her medicine box. She whispered to Xu Nuo, "Aunt Tong is in a bad mood. Remember to comfort her."
"Okay, I understand." Xu Nuo agreed.
After packing up the medicine box, Zhang Juan briefly reported her injuries to Brigade Commander Lu and then left.
Bai Qiuning pushed open the bedroom door and came in. Seeing Xu Nuo accompanying Aunt Tong, she sat down too.
“What is going on?” Xu Nuo was still a little confused.
She only knew that Aunt Tong was injured, but she didn't know what the situation was right now.
Bai Qiuning lowered his voice and told Xu Nuo what happened tonight.
It turned out that Xia Nan had come here tonight to make a scene and was determined to get a marriage certificate with Lu Kun.
Ever since Xia Nan burned her legs a while ago, Lu Kun has been taking care of Xia Nan every day. Aunt Tong has tried to stop him many times but to no avail.
Today, Brigade Commander Lu finally made it clear that Xia Nan's background was a bit problematic and he would not allow Lu Kun to marry her.
They are a military family, and their background must be clean no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Lu Kun refused to listen to any advice. With red eyes and stiff neck, he shouted: "You just believed the rumors and didn't believe her."
Brigade Commander Lu slammed the table and said that they would find out the truth after a few days, but this kid couldn't wait even a day and blurted out: "Xia Nan and I have already cooked the rice. Xia Nan is already pregnant with my child."
Aunt Tong happened to be coming out of the kitchen carrying a hot meal. When she heard this, she got so angry that her eyes went dark and she fell down.
With a "crack", the plate broke into pieces, his arm was scratched by the broken porcelain pieces and bleeding, and his forehead hit the corner of the table.
Brigade Commander Lu was so anxious that he stamped his feet. He quickly called Zhang Juan from the hospital clinic and asked her to come over and treat his wife's wound.
When Zhang Juan came over to stitch the wound, the father and son started arguing again.
Lu Kun still yelled recklessly: "I'm going to marry Xia Nan anyway!"
Brigade Commander Lu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He kicked him to the wall and told him that there was no way he could accomplish this unless they severed their father-son relationship.
Lu Kun actually said: "Since you want to sever the relationship, then don't use the household registration book to stop him from marrying Xia Nan."
When Aunt Tong just woke up, she heard the father and son arguing outside about severing their relationship. Lu Kun even reached out for the household registration booklet. She was so angry that she fainted again.
This time, Brigade Commander Lu was completely furious. He picked up a stool and overturned the dining table, causing the bowls and dishes to shatter all over the floor.
Brigade Commander Lu was so angry that his blood boiled. He pointed at Lu Kun's nose and called him a "rebellious son", and told him to kneel in front of Aunt Tong's door and reflect on his actions.
After hearing the whole story, she took a deep breath - who would have thought that Lu Kun, who seemed honest and steady on weekdays, could be so stubborn!
"Aunt Tong, don't be sad. The brigade commander is in charge of this matter. Lu Kun and Xia Nan will never succeed. Just as the brigade commander said, there is something wrong with Xia Nan. You should calm down and wait for the result of the brigade commander's handling." Xu Nuo whispered to comfort her.
In the living room outside the bedroom, Lu Chen said to Brigade Commander Lu: "This matter can't be delayed any longer. Since Xia Nan can't produce any substantial evidence, let's force her to show her true colors."
Brigade Commander Lu's eyes jumped, and he turned around and looked at Lu Chen: "Tell me about it?"
Lu Chen leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Brigade Commander Lu glanced at his disappointing son Lu Kun and said, "You, Xiao Liao, Xiao Lu, follow me to the study on the second floor. I have something to tell you."
