Chapter 835 Raising the Debt

Even though he knew his cousin had always disapproved of his help to Wen Qingyi, he never expected him to be serious.

It seems my cousin is really angry.

Is Wen Qingyi really that heinous?

Xu Chen's resolve to help Wen Qingyi wavered for a moment.

"Ah Chen, what you did this time was really too much!" Even though Xu Yi wanted to help him, the thought of the 25 million US dollars still made him feel the pinch: "If I help you, how will you repay me? Will you take my money to help Wen Qingyi?"

Clearly, Xu Yi still harbors resentment towards Xu Chen for consistently helping Wen Qingyi and hasn't let it go.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen kept shaking his head, repeatedly assuring him, "Dad! As long as you help me this time, I promise I will never help Wen Qingyi again! I will live a good life with Nan Chu, and I will never think about those rights and wrongs again!"

This time, my cousin really went too far! He beat him so badly that he couldn't fight back at all!

Actually, it was his fault. He was blinded by money and failed to see through Bo Jinyan's scheme!

If he had realized it back then, he would never have ended up in such a passive situation!

"A guarantee? You expect me to hand over those twenty-five million US dollars for nothing, just with a verbal guarantee?" Xu Yi sneered, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "You're really underestimating the Xu family's money!"

The Xu family's current status is due not only to the efforts of the previous patriarch but also to his hard work in his youth!

Without the connections and resources he built up in his youth, Xu Chen wouldn't have such a good life.

A thin mist welled up in Xu Chen's eyes, blurring his vision: "Then Dad, what do you want me to do? Just tell me, and I'll do it!"

He'd give anything to regain his former status!

Anyway, he has nothing left now, so what does he have to be afraid of?

“Since that’s the case, then I want you to sever all ties with Wen Qingyi. Can you do that?” A glint of brilliance flashed in Xu Yi’s eyes as he stared intently at him, seemingly not wanting to miss a single expression on his face. “Besides that, I want you to grant me another request.”

But there was another request he didn't make explicit, seemingly because he didn't trust him.

Sensing his father's hesitation, Xu Chen knew what he was wary of and kept assuring him, "Dad, as long as you're willing to help me through this difficult time, I'll agree to any request you make! As for Wen Qingyi, I will completely sever ties with her! I will never have anything to do with her again!"

He knew that he was kicked out of the Xu family by his father because of Wen Qingyi, and Wen Qingyi had become a kind of knot in the hearts of the father and son.

If this knot in his heart isn't untied, then his father would never have helped him like this!

Therefore, if he wants to regain his former status, he must sever ties with Wen Qingyi! If he doesn't, he might not only be penniless now, but could even end up homeless!

He wasn't exaggerating. His cousin had already gone to such lengths, and his father was utterly disappointed in him. If he continued to help Wen Qingyi, he would fall into a lower social class, end up on the streets, and have to struggle to make a living like everyone else!

So, at that time, will Nan Chu still be interested in him?

“Okay, with you saying that, I’ll trust you one more time.” As he spoke, Xu Yi paused, took out a checkbook from the inside pocket of his suit, wrote a check for 25 million US dollars, stamped and signed it, and then handed the check to him.

"Here is a check for twenty-five million US dollars. Take this check and give it to your father-in-law. He will tell you what to do then."

Xu Chen took the check from his father's hand, still somewhat dazed. Knowing that his father had forgiven him, he wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes and cried with joy, "Thank you, Dad! Thank you!"

"Furthermore, I'll give you a few days to talk things out with Wen Qingyi and make a clean break." Xu Yi did this to prevent a tangled mess from forming: "If you make things clear with her within these few days, and then continue to cause trouble, then you will be responsible for repaying the 25 million US dollars, and all your assets will be taken back! Understand?"

Previously, although he had kicked Xu Chen out of his home, his assets had only shrunk significantly, not been fully recovered.

If Xu Chen continues to have entanglements with Wen Qingyi this time, he will make him taste the bitterness of truly losing everything!

Xu Chen sensed his father's resolute stance and dared not disobey: "I understand, Father. Please rest assured, I will never have any further involvement with Wen Qingyi! Thank you, Father!"

"Then I'll be going now, Father. Nan Chu is waiting for me to come back."

Xu Yi nodded slightly and let him go back.

After he left, the butler emerged from the shadows and asked, "Master, why did you help the young master? Don't you know this was a strategy devised by Young Master Bo to force him to back down?"

Even an outsider like him could see that this was a tactic devised by Bo Jinyan to force Xu Chen to back down.

How could the master not see it?

"Of course I understand, but Xu Chen is my only son. He's my only son. If I don't help him, the Xu family will probably fall into someone else's hands!" With the survival of the family at stake, Xu Yi had no choice but to do this: "As for Bo Jinyan, I will naturally have other ways to deal with him!"

Trying to outsmart him? Making him spend money for nothing?

snort!

It's not that easy! We'll see!

He wanted to see who the real winner would be in the end!

Xu Chen, who had already left, was unaware of Xu Yi's thoughts. He took the check and returned to the Lu family villa.

“Father, this is a check for twenty-five million US dollars that my father asked me to give you.” Xu Chen handed the check to Lu Jinan personally: “Please keep it safe. Please resolve the loan agreement between me and my cousin as soon as possible.”

Although he only borrowed five million, the price he had to pay was far more than that.

If he had known it was a trap, he would never have fallen for it!

But now, regret is useless; what's done is done, and all we can do is try to fix it.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinan took the check from his hand, a faint smile curving his lips, a smile that held a deeper meaning: "It seems that your in-laws still treat you like their own son. I knew it, you are his only son, how could he not care about you?"

"Nan Chu, take this check to the finance department and withdraw twenty-five million US dollars. Return this fifty million US dollars to Bo Jinyan." Lu Jinan didn't forget to instruct her, "Remember, I want you to come back with that equity transfer agreement, understand?"
