Chapter 704 Xu Damao's parents look for Lou Bancheng
Lou Xiao'e looked at Gu Nan, not understanding: "Gu Nan, are you saying that Xu Damao will take revenge on me after he gets out?"
Gu Nan knew that Lou Xiao'e would know about this matter sooner or later, so why not deal with it now while the situation is not so serious?
Gu Nan looked at Lou Xiao'e solemnly and said in a serious tone, "Yes, I don't need to say more about Xu Damao's character. This matter is very serious. I sincerely advise you to tell your father that under the current situation, the only stable and safe choice is to go to Xianghe or go abroad."
Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry and reluctance. She looked at Gu Nan and asked, "Are you saying that your family has really reached the point where there is no other way out and you have to leave your hometown?"
Gu Nan nodded firmly, then fell silent and said nothing more. Lou Xiao'e really didn't want to leave the home where she had lived since she was a child. She knew in her heart that her parents also had a deep attachment to this homeland, so how could they be willing to leave easily? Helplessly, she could only look at Ran Qiuye and said softly, "Ran Qiuye, I'm going back first."
Ran Qiuye opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Gu Nan's serious and unquestionable expression, she swallowed the words back and ultimately said nothing.
Lou Xiao'e had originally thought about going to the backyard. After all, it was already afternoon, and she would usually spend some time in the backyard at this time. But when she thought about the importance of what Gu Nan had just said, she turned around and left without hesitation.
After Lou Xiao'e left, Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Gu Nan, how could you say that to Lou Xiao'e? I don't think we have to go abroad. Is there really no other way?"
Gu Nan knew that Ran Qiuye was not aware of the complexity and seriousness behind this matter. He just smiled and said, "It's okay, Qiuye, you will understand it later. Some things are hard to explain to you now."
Ran Qiuye recalled the conversation she had with her father before, and then looked at Gu Nan's current appearance. Her intuition told her that Gu Nan must know something unknown. But seeing that Gu Nan seemed unwilling to talk more, she did not ask any more questions.
Lou Xiao'e hurried back home anxiously. As soon as she entered the house, she didn't even have time to catch her breath before she went straight to the table, picked up the water cup, and took a gulp of water. At this time, Lou Bancheng was standing by the window, looking outside. Seeing Lou Xiao'e coming back so hurriedly, he couldn't help but feel nervous and asked with concern: "Xiao'e, why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"
Lou Bancheng secretly wondered if Lou Xiao'e was coming back at this time to ask for mercy from Xu Damao again. After all, in his impression, Lou Xiao'e had always been a soft-hearted person who cared about the old relationship.
Lou Xiao'e shook her head slightly, a trace of determination appeared on her face, and said, "No, Dad, this time Xu Damao deliberately hired someone to destroy someone's innocence and did such a heartless thing. I decided not to plead for him anymore."
Lou Bancheng was slightly stunned, then a gratified smile appeared on his face. He looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "You have finally grown up, Xiao'e. This time Xu Damao really went too far. He should be taught a profound lesson. Then you..."
Lou Xiao'e then told Lou Bancheng everything Gu Nan had said: "Dad, the situation is very serious now. Gu Nan said that we can only guarantee our safety by going to Xianghe or going abroad."
After hearing this, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but sigh deeply and said, "I also want to go to Xianghe. After all, it is still in China and I always feel that it is closer to my hometown. But if I want to go to Xianghe now, I have to find a way to arrange various matters and find someone to help me take care of it. I can only do it step by step. Well, then I will give it a try."
Lou Bancheng actually had no intention of going abroad. In his opinion, although Xianghe might not be as good as Beijing in all aspects, it was still in China. If he really went abroad, it would mean that he might never come back in his lifetime. He really couldn't bear to leave the land where he was born and raised.
Then, Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e, his eyes full of gratitude and said, "Xiao'e, can you do Dad a favor and ask me to meet Gu Nan? I want to treat him to a good meal to thank him for reminding us."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll talk to Gu Nan about it. After all, I'm the child's godmother, so he will give me this face. By the way, Dad, Gu Nan also said that you'd better slowly dispose of the factory under your control to avoid more trouble."
Lou Bancheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's invite Gu Nan's family to our house for a gathering in the next few days. As for the courtyard, I won't go there. After all, you are all neighbors. If Xu Damao finds out, who knows what will happen. It's better to be careful."
At this moment, Lou Bancheng's nanny hurried over and said respectfully, "Master, Xu Damao's parents are here. They said they have something important to discuss with you. Do you think we should ask them to come in?"
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Lou Bancheng and said, "Dad, let me handle this matter. I roughly know why they came. They just want us to plead for Xu Damao."
Lou Bancheng sat in the spacious living room, frowning as he looked at his daughter Lou Xiao'e, his eyes full of worry and love. He said slowly, "Forget it, Xiao'e, you are no match for them. Let Dad handle this matter. Dad has a wide network of contacts in this area, so it will be much easier for him to handle it than for you."
Lou Xiao'e shook her head firmly, with a look of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes, and said, "Dad, leave this matter to me. I know you care about me, but I have to grow up sooner or later and can't always hide under your wings. This is also an opportunity for me to exercise."
Lou Bancheng was silent for a moment after hearing his daughter's words. He knew in his heart that what Lou Xiao'e said was indeed reasonable. He could not stay with her all her life, and she would eventually have to learn to face the ups and downs of life alone. Thinking of this, Lou Bancheng did not insist any more, but just nodded slightly, tacitly approving his daughter's decision.
Lou Xiao'e came out of her house and just walked to the door, she saw Xu Damao's parents standing there, looking around as if they wanted to go in. Lou Xiao'e's heart tightened slightly, and she hurried forward to stop them, forcing a smile on her face and asked, "Mom and Dad, what's the matter with you coming here?"
When Xu Damao's mother saw Lou Xiao'e, her eyes lit up and she subconsciously wanted to rush into the house, muttering: "Xiao'e, we have to go in and have a good talk with your dad..." However, before she finished her words, she was stopped by Xu Damao's father. Xu Damao's father knew that they were here to ask for help today, so they couldn't be so rude.
