Chapter 898 Breaking Through the Window Paper

"You brought those shady women into Lu's Bank! And you even had an affair with your own assistant! What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to turn our Lu family's assets into your Xu family's backyard?!"

When Nan Chu mentioned this matter before, he didn't take it seriously.

Now that they've even slept together, what else can he say?

As expected, Xu Chen is not a good man. He should not have agreed to the marriage in the first place!

Thinking about this, Lu Jinan was filled with remorse.

"Dad! I'm innocent!" At least, Xu Chen himself had no such intentions: "I was framed by that woman for cheating! Beforehand, I only regarded her as my childhood sweetheart, and I had no other improper intentions..."

Childhood sweethearts?

Noticing this choice of words, Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes: "Xu Chen, you think I've never been young? I've been through it all. Do you think I don't know that your so-called childhood sweetheart is actually your mistress?!"

"The difference between childhood sweethearts and normal lovers is whether or not the truth has been revealed."

"Now that you've exposed the truth and insulted my daughter, what else do you have to complain about?"

"Dad, I really didn't..."

Xu Chen no longer knew how to explain himself to them: "Aside from what happened last night, I really only have childhood friends like Qingyi! And there's absolutely no romantic relationship between us! Why won't you believe me?"

He never knew that gaining someone's trust could be so difficult.

Ever since he got married, he had been constantly watching Lu Nanchu's expression.

Now that this has happened again, how can he regain the trust of the father and daughter?

"How can we trust you after you've done something so shameful?"

Lu Jinan roared, so angry he wanted to strangle him: "Xu Chen, you wronged my daughter first, and now you've made your shameful deeds known throughout New York! You've caused our Lu's Bank's stock to plummet!"

"How can you recover from this loss? Do you have the ability to turn the tide? Do you?!"

He has no skills whatsoever, but he has a lot of flaws. How dare he have an affair behind Nan Chu's back!

Even so, there are quite a few people in their circle who are quite adept at playing the game.

But the Lu family has always maintained strict family traditions and a clean family background, so how could they allow such a disgraceful thing to happen within the Lu family?

Xu Chen knew the matter was beyond repair: "Dad, what do you want me to do? I was framed too! Why won't you help me find out who the real culprit is? Instead, you're questioning me here?"

He was really not convinced.

He was clearly framed, he was clearly the victim, so why is he allowed to stand on the moral high ground and judge him?

"The matter has already made it into the newspapers, and you still won't admit it?" Lu Jinan was a little angry when she saw that he was incorrigible: "Why don't you divorce Nan Chu!"

"He was forced to leave the house penniless as a form of punishment."

Leaving with nothing?

No, he absolutely cannot accept this outcome!

Xu Chen argued forcefully: "Dad, I will absolutely not divorce Nan Chu! The truth of this matter has not been investigated yet. Think about it, if I really wanted to cheat, why would I hire a group of reporters? Shouldn't cheating be done secretly?"

"Who hired those reporters? Is someone pulling the strings behind the scenes?" He paused, then continued, "These things haven't been investigated yet. I can't just divorce Nan Chu like this!"

"Dad, please give me another chance to make amends!"

Just as Lu Jinan was about to refuse, Lu Nanchu, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke up: "Dad, I think what Xu Chen said is not entirely unreasonable. Why don't you give him another chance? It's not too late to investigate the matter thoroughly before making a decision."

"Nan Chu? You actually spoke up for this cheating beast?"

Lu Jinan couldn't believe what he had just heard: "Could it be that even you think there's something fishy going on behind this? You believe his nonsense too?"

“Dad, I don’t believe his nonsense, but he did say one thing right.”

After calming down, Lu Nanchu felt that there was something strange about the matter: "Men who cheat are usually secretive and should hide it as deeply as possible. Why would someone call a large group of reporters to expose this matter completely? Doesn't this seem a bit illogical?"

Lu Jinan remained silent.

After what seemed like an eternity, Lu Jinan finally spoke: "So, according to your opinion, what do you think should be done about this?"

“Let’s seek compensation from my father-in-law, Mr. Xu, first.” This was also a delaying tactic for Lu Nanchu: “Then you, the former bank president, can step in and use the compensation paid by Mr. Xu to make up for the losses suffered due to the stock price drop in the past few days, and give the board of directors an explanation.”

"Right now, stabilizing the board of directors is the most important thing, isn't it?"

As for the others, they can wait until the board of directors is stable before discussing anything else.

But haven't some people gone too far?

...

Central Park Apartments, that evening.

After Bo Jinyan got off work and returned home, he heard Sang Ruo ask him, "Ayan, did you have the news on the front page these past few days put up?"

As she spoke, Sang Ruo held up her tablet computer for him to see.

"Who else could it be but me?" Facing her interrogation, Bo Jinyan made no attempt to hide his words: "I said I would definitely destroy what my uncle considered most important! This is what the Xu family owes me!"

However, it's time to pay back the debt.

Compared to everything Xu Yi did to them when they first arrived in America, all he did was break the engagement between the Xu and Lu families.

It's still too light.

Sang Ruo felt that his move was a bit underhanded: "Ayan, I don't object to you dealing with your uncle at all, I wholeheartedly support it, but Nan Chu is innocent! She did nothing wrong!"

"By doing this, you've not only ruined the marriage between our two families, you've also ruined Nan Chu! Do you understand that?"

When Nan Chu was in the capital during the earthquake, she at least saved Nan Chu's life, but A Yan did this...

That's just too unfair.

In the end, the person who suffered the most was still Nan Chu.

She feared that this incident would ruin their cooperative relationship with Nan Chu!

If Nan Chu finds out that A Yan is the mastermind behind her broken marriage, she will definitely not forgive him!

When that time really comes, that'll be a real problem!

She didn't know how to explain this to Nan Chu.

"As for Nan Chu, I also took this opportunity to help her solve a problem." Bo Jinyan didn't say it explicitly, but rather subtly said, "Xiao Ruo, don't worry, even if Nan Chu finds out, it won't affect our cooperative relationship."

It's just that Nan Chu feels a bit embarrassed.
