Chapter 829 Threatening Xu Yi

He had warned Xu Chen beforehand not to do anything that he would regret for Wen Qingyi.

As a result, today he went to Bo Jinyan to borrow five million in order to redeem Wen Qingyi from her bond, even going so far as to mortgage the shares of Lu's Bank to get this money!

Just how much magic does Wen Qingyi possess? Is she worth him protecting like this?

He's so angry!

“My dear in-law, I can’t and don’t want to interfere in other matters, but you know that the shares of Lu’s Bank cannot be transferred to outsiders.” Lu Jinan said coldly, “Xu Chen’s concern for Wen Qingyi has reached such an extent that he completely disregards our Nan Chu!”

He paused, his gaze sharpening, his tone carrying a strong warning: "In-law, shouldn't you give the Lu family an explanation for this matter?"

He wasn't talking about giving Lu Nanchu an explanation, but rather giving the Lu family an explanation, undoubtedly elevating the whole matter to the level of the family, making it no longer just an ordinary emotional dispute.

Xu Yi noticed his choice of words, and his expression darkened slightly: "President Lu, please rest assured about this matter. I will have that brat Xu Chen come back later and teach him a good lesson!"

"Give him a good lesson?" Lu Jinan murmured these words repeatedly, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing: "In-law, such a huge mess has been made, and you think you can completely resolve this by just giving him a lesson? You're underestimating the Lu family too much!"

His tone was indifferent, but his expression conveyed a sense of unwavering determination, and his eyes were fixed intently on him.

Xu Yi noticed his gaze, and his tone was somewhat suppressed and hoarse: "What do you mean?"

Instead of resolving this by teaching Xu Chen a lesson, does he intend to make him pay money?

Xu Chen is already their son-in-law; he has already married into the Lu family!

Then his affairs are no longer his concern!

Even if he owes a lot of money, it has nothing to do with him!

“I had Nan Chu talk to Bo Jinyan. Bo Jinyan is demanding that we pay fifty million US dollars, and there is no room for negotiation.” A strange smile suddenly appeared on Lu Jinan’s face: “If the entire fifty million US dollars were to come from the Lu family, it would be too unreasonable. Therefore, I demand that your Xu family pay half of it!”

"In other words, it's twenty-five million US dollars. This is something that President Xu, as the in-law of the Lu family, must do. We can't expect the Lu family to bear all the responsibility if something goes wrong, can we? That's not reasonable."

Bo Jinyan demanded fifty million US dollars from him?

Lu Jinan, however, demanded that he pay 25 million US dollars!

Xu Yi felt this was unreasonable and argued, "President Lu, fifty million US dollars is indeed a lot, but I have already kicked Xu Chen out of the house. He is no longer my son, and he has married into your Lu family. So the loss should naturally be borne by your family. What's wrong with that?"

"I thought President Lu was already mentally prepared for this when he made the request to marry into the family," Xu Yi said with a half-smile. "As for your request, I will not agree to a single word of it, and I have already explained why."

Xu Chen has been kicked out of his home. Although they are related by blood, that's all.

Didn't he see that he no longer cares about Xu Chen's life or death?

So what does the mess Xu Chen made have to do with him?

“In-law, this was your son’s fault. Now that things have gone wrong, you want to use severing ties as an excuse to shirk all responsibility that should be borne by your Xu family?” Lu Jinan looked at him coldly, his words tinged with gritted teeth: “Not so easy!”

"If your Xu family doesn't help resolve this matter, then don't even think about getting your loan approved, and don't expect to get back a single penny of the money you previously invested in finance!"

He was determined this time. Even if the Xu family was unwilling to bear these responsibilities, as long as the blood relationship between Xu Chen and Xu Yi remained, he would have to pay the price for this!

Why should the Lu family bear all the consequences of Xu Chen's mess?

That makes no sense.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's face turned extremely ugly, so dark it seemed like it could drip water: "Are you threatening me?"

“You forced us to do this!” Lu Jinan also wanted to talk to him nicely, but he wouldn’t listen: “I’m talking to you here in a friendly manner. We will each contribute half of the fifty million US dollars. As long as you can do this, our two families can still be as harmonious as before.”

"But if you keep making trouble and insist on ignoring your share of the responsibility and absolving yourself of it, then the Lu family may not be afraid of the Xu family! We'll see who can control whom in the future!"

If we don't teach him a lesson, he probably won't even know who he is!

Don't forget, it was the Xu family who needed the Lu family's help first! It was the Xu family that needed to enter the US financial market, and it was the Xu family that needed to expand new business overseas! Not the Lu family!

This Xu Yi has really abandoned all sense of shame in order to avoid paying this money!

So shameless!

Xu Yi's fingers were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, which showed how much endurance he was using to suppress his anger: "President Lu, public matters are public matters and private matters are private matters. Please do not involve personal matters in the cooperation between our two families. That would be very unprofessional."

"Xu Chen was the one who caused this, so you can pay for it yourselves. It has nothing to do with me, so why are you dumping this mess on me?"

It's true that Xu Chen is his son, but it's also true that he had previously severed ties with Xu Chen!

Moreover, Lu Jinan was present at the time, and he said it in front of Lu Jinan. He said that when there were no benefits, he thought of the Xu family, but now that something has happened, he wants to shirk responsibility.

It's not that easy!

"Just because you are Xu Chen's biological father! This blood relationship cannot be erased with a simple severance!" Lu Jinan coldly reminded him, "So please think twice before you act, in-law, and don't make a decision that you and your family will regret!"

His patience is extremely limited; there's no time to waste on him here.

If Xu Yi doesn't come up with the money, then he doesn't need to show him any more leniency.

You can't tell how close they are normally, but when something really happens, he'll run faster than anyone else!

He must have been blind to marry into such a family!

However, it's too late to regret it now.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi remained unfazed by his threat: "President Lu, I'll say it again, Xu Chen's matter has nothing to do with me. I've severed all ties with him! From now on, there will be no connection whatsoever! Didn't you hear everything back then? Have you forgotten?"
