When Wen Jin faced Lu Qirui’s questioning, he neither denied nor admitted, but instead, he calmly gazed at Lu Qirui.
“Alright, how will you handle this matter?” Lu Qirui sneered.
“How will the Lu family handle it?” Wen Jin countered with a question.
This matter was related to the Lu family, so the key was how the Lu family would handle it. Wen Jin appeared unruffled as if whatever happened wouldn’t affect his decision.
“The Lu family won’t let the mastermind behind this go unpunished. What about the Wen family?” Lu Qirui asked bluntly.
Wen Jin understood what Lu Qirui meant and responded, “If it’s related to her, then I will pursue it to the end.”
Wen Jin spoke with a detached tone, maintaining an unbroken gaze on Lu Qirui.
It was unclear whether Lu Qirui believed him or not, but he let out a cold laugh and remained silent.
Perhaps even the Lu family didn’t anticipate that both of their daughters would become entangled with Wen Jin, an ill-fated connection.
Approximately an hour later, the door to the emergency room finally opened.
Yu Xiaobao emerged, accompanied by a nurse, and was connected to an IV drip. Yu Anwan followed, appearing visibly exhausted.
Wen Jin promptly approached them.
“How is Xiaobao’s situation?” Wen Jin inquired, his voice soft and gentle.
“The situation is temporarily stable, but not ideal,” Yu Anwan conveyed honestly. “Xiaobao’s heart condition is not strong. She may seem no different from other children in normal circumstances, but under such stress, her condition can worsen significantly. Coupled with asthma and a weak innate constitution, being confined in such a place for a whole day and night, running a prolonged fever, and developing pneumonia have severely damaged her lungs.”
“She also has various abrasions on her body, a slight fracture in her calf bone, and a torn Achilles tendon.” Yu Anwan shared, her voice trembling.
Even at her worst, Yu Anwan had never let Yu Xiaobao experience such suffering. She couldn’t help but wonder how she had endured the past day and night alone.
She also feared to contemplate what might have happened if they had arrived even a moment later.
“She’s safe now. She’s with us.” Wen Jin reassured, holding Yu Anwan close. Yu Anwan continued to tremble, her inability to overcome the shock evident.
But soon, after hearing Wen Jin’s voice, she gazed at him with a cold expression.
Wen Jin remained silent.
Lu Qirui was already approaching Yu Anwan and positioned himself in front of her.
“Anwan, I’m your big brother,” Lu Qirui introduced himself proactively.
Yu Anwan looked at Lu Qirui.
Secretary Zhang had previously mentioned this.
“I know you must be curious. Let’s go to the lounge, and I’ll explain,” Lu Qirui said calmly.
“Alright.” Yu Anwan nodded.
“I promise to provide you with an explanation regarding Xiaobao,” Lu Qirui promptly added.
Upon hearing this, Yu Anwan looked directly at Lu Qirui and stated coldly, “I want to do it personally. Is that acceptable?” “Of course,” Lu Qirui responded directly. Yu Anwan didn’t say anything further.
The three of them proceeded to the lounge.
Yu Anwan sat on the sofa, motionless, overwhelmed by the events of the day. She needed time to process everything.
Wen Jin was by her side, naturally holding her, but Yu Anwan still showed some resistance to his proximity. She remained guarded.
Lu Qirui could see this.
He sneered and said, “Anwan, if you want to divorce Wen Jin, it’s not too difficult.
With that sentence, Wen Jin’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Lu Qirui.
Lu Qirui paid no attention to Wen Jin’s response.
Yu Anwan seemed unsure whether she had taken in Lu Qirui’s words or not.
When Yu Anwan had rekindled her marriage with Wen Jin, she had considered the possibility of eventually divorcing. But she knew it wouldn’t be that simple.
Wen Jin had worked hard to get them back together, and he wouldn’t let go easily. Even if the Lu family intervened, and they did get divorced, the outcome would be mutually damaging.
Yu Anwan couldn’t bear to hurt their three children. The failure of a marriage placed responsibility on both parties, with varying degrees of fault.
In such a failed marriage, the most challenging aspect was the impact on the children, especially Wen Zhanyan, Dabao, and Xiaobao, who were mature and sensitive. Moreover, there was also Lu Nanxin in the mix. Yu Anwan had chosen to appear in front of Wen Jin six years later not only because of Wen Zhanyan but also because of Lu Nanxin.
The score with Lu Nanxin from six years ago couldn’t be easily settled.
Therefore, now that she and Wen Jin had remarried, an easy divorce was not a possibility.
Even in a marriage filled with challenges, Yu Anwan had to find a way to make it work.
With these thoughts in mind, Yu Anwan chuckled at herself but quickly concealed her emotions as if unaffected.
Lu Qirui noticed her silence and decided not to pursue the topic further.
He shifted the conversation, saying, “When you saved Dad at the airport, Dad became suspicious because you looked so much like Mom when she was young, almost like a younger version of her.”
Yu Anwan was taken aback.
Looked like her? In Yu Anwan’s opinion, she didn’t resemble Xu Wan.
Lu Qirui explained, “After your accident, Mom’s health declined. She faced significant mental pressure, so she took many antidepressant drugs, along with hormone medication for her health. That’s why she gradually changed her appearance. But now, you look like Mom did when she was young. There’s no difference.
Lu Qirui understood Yu Anwan’s thoughts.
He showed her a picture of a young Xu Wan.
Yu Anwan was genuinely surprised when she saw the picture.
The resemblance was striking. If it weren’t for the aged appearance of the photograph, she might have thought it was her own.
Lu Qirui continued, “So we were suspicious at that time but didn’t want to face potential disappointment. However, as we saw you more and more, our suspicion grew. Eventually, we decided to investigate your background and conduct a paternity test.”
His voice remained calm as he explained, “At the very least, we didn’t want to disappoint Mom. We were about to share the results when we learned about Xiaobao’s disappearance, which led us to Jiang City.”
Yu Anwan listened to his explanation.
It was both incredible and undeniably real.
“Why did I end up in the Yu family, though?” Yu Anwan gradually regained her composure.
Lu Qirui explained, “It’s like a raccoon dog replacing a crown prince..”
