Chapter 810 Agreeing to Continue Cooperation

It is indeed a difficult situation.

"Feelings aren't measured by time; time is just an indicator." Lu Nanchu had already become indifferent to feelings; she was completely unmoved by Xu Chen. "Sister-in-law, I still want to ask you one more question: do you still want to continue cooperating with me to deal with Wen Qingyi?"

She had thought about it.

Since a major storm is inevitable, it's essential to be prepared. Taking the initiative is far better than catching the other side off guard.

If Sang Ruo is still willing to continue cooperating with her, then she will spare no effort to continue this struggle until Wen Qingyi is completely convinced!

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo frowned, her expression somewhat complicated: "Nan Chu, why are you suddenly asking this? Let's talk about the cooperation after you've recovered. You're the most innocent person to begin with, and I don't really want to see you sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire that you shouldn't be in."

It was originally a struggle between her and Wen Qingyi. If Xu Chen hadn't interfered, how would she and A Yan have come up with the idea of ​​using someone else to do their dirty work?

But no one expected that Xu Chen would fall in love with Wen Qingyi, which made the already uncontrollable situation completely unbalanced!

"No, sister-in-law, the sooner we clarify this matter, the better. We can't delay." Lu Nanchu used the earthquake incident to see something clearly: "Because none of us are sure when the accident will happen, please tell me definitively whether you want to or not?"

Emotionally, she certainly wanted to continue cooperating with Lu Nanchu, but rationally, she didn't want her to continue getting involved with Wen Qingyi. After all, she was already badly hurt and couldn't withstand any more setbacks.

Sang Ruo was caught in a dilemma. Faced with her interrogation, she was unable to give an answer.

As time went on, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, as if even the air itself had frozen.

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Ruo finally spoke her mind: "Reasonably speaking, I don't want you to continue to be involved. Moreover, I've discussed it with A Yan, and from now on, we will no longer interfere in your affairs with Xu Chen."

"If we continue to cooperate, can you guarantee that we won't interfere in your affairs with Xu Chen? If not, then we'll be breaking our promise to Uncle Lu. So, not only do I need to think this through, but you also need to think it through yourself."

Cooperation requires mutual consent from both parties.

However, the current situation is so complex that it's impossible to give a definite answer immediately.

Does this break the promise she made to her father?

"What promises did you make to my father?" Lu Nanchu knew nothing about this: "Why haven't I heard him mention it at all?"

Not to mention him, even her cousin and his wife, who often came to visit her, never told her these things.

She had no idea how many things her father had been hiding from her!

Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo smiled helplessly: "He didn't dare to tell you, afraid that if he did, you would get so agitated that your condition would worsen. Now that you've been discharged, it's time for Ayan and me to fulfill our promise."

"So if you can guarantee that, we can still continue to cooperate, and I have no objection."

Their cooperation was originally a consensus reached because of shared interests. After all, Lu Nanchu's rival in love was Wen Qingyi, and she wasn't the only one who wanted to get rid of him.

However, she couldn't go back on her word after promising Lu Jinan.

So it's not just Lu Jinan who wants to have the best of both worlds; even she wants a solution that satisfies both.

"I can guarantee it." Lu Nanchu didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity for cooperation. All her connections and resources in China would have to be downgraded. Even though she was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she had to accept this reality: "Sister-in-law, I truly consider you a friend. I don't want to give up."

She genuinely wanted to work with her; she truly felt that Sang Ruo was an excellent partner.

She's not troublesome, willing to help, and quick to lend a hand when needed. Where else can she find such a good partner?

Even if it started out of self-interest, she was willing to make changes.

Sang Ruo smiled faintly: "Nan Chu, I'm actually very happy that you said that. If this is your decision, then let's continue to cooperate, and neither of us will regret it, okay?"

The fear is that one of them might regret their decision and do something irrational.

“Okay.” Lu Nanchu extended her hand. “Let’s not have any regrets.”

Sang Ruo nodded gently and shook hands with her.

Cooperation reached.

Little did they know, after they shook hands, a slightly familiar voice rang out not far from them: "Nan Chu? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu subconsciously looked behind her, only to find that Xu Chen, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was already standing behind her. Her face immediately darkened: "What are you doing here?"

"Have you forgotten? I also stay at the Bulgari Hotel." As he spoke, Xu Chen acted as if he had just noticed Sang Ruo beside her, and said sarcastically, "Oh! Isn't this my cousin-in-law? Long time no see."

He couldn't bring himself to say something like "It's been a long time" to Sang Ruo.

After all, the fact that he and Nan Chu ended up like this is all her fault!

If Sang Ruo hadn't interfered, would he have ended up in this state?

He's being kind by not retaliating against her!

Sang Ruo, however, showed him no respect: "If you don't want to greet me, then don't. Who are you trying to impress with your sarcastic remarks? Do you think I can't understand?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen seemed surprised that she would be so disrespectful to him. His usually amiable face instantly darkened, and his brows and eyes revealed deep displeasure: "Sang Ruo, my willingness to greet you shows that I am well-mannered, but it does not mean that I approve of your behavior. Don't push your luck!"

He's not afraid to completely break off relations; the one who's truly afraid is probably his cousin.

"Yes, that's right."

Sang Ruo noticed his darkening expression and chuckled softly, "This is the real you. It saves you from putting on an act for me all the time. After all, when you stormed into my house early the other morning to question me about Wen Qingyi's whereabouts, you were so assertive and confident! Where did that bravado go?"

She didn't want to face a fake person who even had to hide their truest emotions.

There are no outsiders here, why pretend like this?

Questioning Wen Qingyi's whereabouts?

Upon noticing this word, Lu Nanchu narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping back and forth over Xu Chen, her tone tinged with coldness: "Achen, is what your cousin-in-law said true? You really rushed to Qinyuan Bay to question your cousin-in-law about Wen Qingyi's whereabouts? You care about her that much?"

They were so concerned that upon hearing that Wen Qingyi was in trouble, they immediately rushed to her house to question her.

How can this be called not loving?

Whose childhood sweetheart would care about them to this extent?
