Chapter 787 Xu Chen's Change of Face

His feelings for Wen Qingyi may not have existed since he returned to China, but they definitely began to blossom after he returned.

Wen Qingyi broke up with her fiancé when she got pregnant, and he stepped in to help her. Everyone could see his feelings for Wen Qingyi, so how could she not think about it?

If it weren't for their long-standing ambiguous relationship, she wouldn't have taken action and chosen to abort Wen Qingyi's child.

Her words were like a knife, cutting into Xu Chen's heart again and again.

Xu Chen's eyes reddened, a thin layer of mist welling up in them, but he didn't let the tears fall: "I can't deny what you've said, but I really haven't fallen in love with her. The only reason I chose to help her was because she's my childhood sweetheart, someone I grew up with..."

If it weren't for the bond they shared growing up together, he would never have helped Wen Qingyi.

But he never expected that helping Wen Qingyi would become a knife stabbing into his relationship with Lu Nanchu, shattering their loving past into pieces, never to be pieced back together.

"No matter what your reasons are, it's an unavoidable fact that you've fallen in love with Wen Qingyi." Lu Nanchu thought she would be hysterical when she said this, but she was surprisingly calm: "Xu Chen, I'm monitoring you only because you've allowed other women to gradually encroach on the position that should belong to me. I have no choice but to do so."

She did many things out of necessity.

But getting rid of Wen Qingyi's child was the one thing she regretted the least.

Even if she were given the chance to start over, she would still do the same.

Xu Chen sniffed, his eyes welling up with tears, his voice trembling with emotion: "I'm sorry, Nan Chu, I really didn't know my actions would cause you so much pain. But I've already made things clear with Wen Qingyi. I'll never treat her like that again. I've kept my distance from her, so..."

"Just because you chose to keep your distance from her, does that mean I should forgive everything you did to me before?" Before he could finish speaking, Lu Nanchu had already guessed his intention, and said in a calm tone, "Xu Chen, you're taking the word 'forgiveness' far too lightly..."

There are some things she can forgive, but there are some things she absolutely cannot forgive.

For example, his relationship with Wen Qingyi falls into the latter category.

She cannot forgive.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen lost even his last bargaining chip to win her back, and his mood suddenly plummeted: "So, even though I've chosen to sever ties with Wen Qingyi and distance myself from her, you still won't forgive me?"

If that's really the case, then what's the point of him cutting ties with Wen Qingyi?

Since there's no hope of salvaging the situation anyway, I might as well just give up and let things fall apart.

However, the thought of Lu Nanchu leaving him caused him uncontrollable pain in his heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

“Yes, no.” Lu Nanchu has never changed on this point: “We’ve been together for quite a while now. You know my temper. Once I’ve decided that you’ve cheated on me, even if you give me everything, I will never turn back.”

"Xu Chen, stop testing my limits like this. Once my limits are crossed, they can never be mended. It's like a broken mirror; even if you try to put it back together, the cracks will still be there."

Xu Chen knew he couldn't make amends: "Okay, I won't force you to accept me, but my dad thinks I cheated on him. Could you help me explain to him?"

Even though Lu Jinan always looked down on him as a son-in-law, he still felt that things that needed to be explained should be explained clearly.

Lu Jinan insisted that there was something between him and Wen Qingyi, but what was the reality?

In reality, there was nothing between them at all.

He had always been curious about who had pushed things to this point.

Suddenly, a person came to mind.

“My father has his own perspective, and I can’t control it.” Lu Nanchu had no intention of explaining for him at all: “Facts speak louder than words. Do you think you can erase the ambiguity between you and Wen Qingyi just by having me explain?”

"Everyone has seen these things and has their own judgment. Do you think I can convince anyone by explaining them? If you can't even convince me, who else can you convince?"

That's hilarious.

He actually asked her to go to her father's place to explain that there was nothing between him and Wen Qingyi.

But what is the reality? Almost everyone believes that there is something between him and Wen Qingyi. They even kissed in public. How can you say there is nothing between them?

Xu Chen felt that she was being somewhat cold-hearted: "Nan Chu, isn't it pointless of you to say that? I'm your fiancé, and as my fiancée, shouldn't you help me and protect my reputation?"

"Do you really want to see me ruined before you're satisfied? Is that all you've got?"

He has already agreed to marry into the Lu family; isn't that enough to show his sincerity?

He was willing to endure any hardship for her! But how did she treat him in the end?

“If I were really that narrow-minded, Wen Qingyi wouldn’t be living such a comfortable and carefree life!” When Lu Nanchu saw him speaking up for Wen Qingyi, she felt that he had revealed his true colors again: “You were just saying that you love me and that you haven’t fallen in love with Wen Qingyi, but now you’re speaking up for Wen Qingyi at every turn…”

"Don't you think your words contradict yourself?"

She felt that his inconsistent attitude was the root cause of his ambiguous relationship with Wen Qingyi.

It is precisely because of his indecisive attitude that so many problems have arisen, gradually pushing things to this point.

He deserves what he has today.

Xu Chen frowned: "I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm still the same person, I haven't changed. It's just that Nan Chu, your methods are getting more and more despicable. Your kidney is damaged and you need a kidney transplant, you could have just told me! Why did you have to steal someone else's kidney?"

"Don't you know that stealing a kidney is illegal?"

He truly couldn't believe that his bedmate had really reached this point.

He actually stole a woman's kidney just to target her!

And they even brazenly used it on themselves!

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Lu Nanchu was baffled by his accusation: "When did I steal someone's kidney? My kidney transplant surgery was arranged long ago, it's just a matter of time before the surgery is performed. How come it becomes so different in your mouth?"
