Chapter 919 Severing All Ties

No one on his side leaked anything, and he has kept it a secret all along.

How did Nan Chu find out?

"I'm wondering the same thing." Wen Qingyi suspected Xu Chen: "Brother Chen, I've been living here peacefully without anyone bothering me. Did you leak my whereabouts?"

"Otherwise, how did Miss Lu know?"

Something seemed off from the moment Lu Nanchu walked in today.

Lu Nanchu came with people, including her family's butler and bodyguards, which shows that she came prepared.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's face darkened, and he said with displeasure, "Wen Qingyi, you suspect me? You actually suspect that I leaked your whereabouts?"

He was so good to her; when she wanted to come to New York, he helped her arrange both an apartment and a job.

As a result, his kindness to her only earned him her suspicion of him.

That's truly disheartening.

He thought that even if Nan Chu didn't believe him, at least Wen Qingyi did.

In retrospect, it seems that neither of those two women had much affection for him.

“No, Brother Chen, I’m not doubting you. I’m just wondering how Miss Lu knew about this?” Wen Qingyi’s suspicion was justified: “After all, Miss Lu is your wife, you know her better than I do.”

She's lived in apartment 212 for so long and has never been discovered.

How did Lu Nanchu discover this?

Moreover, apartment 212 is located in Lower Manhattan, which is quite a distance from her Upper Manhattan home!

One is in the south, and the other is in the north, crisscrossing each other. How did she find them?

Xu Chen's face was as dark as an overturned inkstone, so dark it seemed to drip water: "Just because I know her better than you, you suspect I did it?!"

"Wen Qingyi, don't forget who helped you arrange your job and housing! It was me, it was me who helped you!"

She actually suspected him?

At that moment, Xu Chen truly regretted why he had helped her in the first place!

He helped her so much that he ruined his own marriage!

He was filled with remorse.

"Xu Chen, we have no relationship whatsoever. So what if I suspect you?"

Wen Qingyi's patience had been worn down to its last bit, and it all disappeared: "Only the three of us—you, me, and my father—knew about this. Isn't it reasonable for me to suspect you?"

Perhaps initially, when she stayed at the Bulgari Hotel in Beijing, she still harbored some feelings for him.

But since coming to Manhattan, she has seen his true colors, and all the last bit of her affection for him has vanished.

Xu Chen is indecisive and brainless; he's not even worth a second of Lu Nanchu's attention!

Unfortunately, this person has an extremely strong sense of self-respect and can't bring himself to do it.

Perhaps that's why he lost to Lu Nanchu and Bo Jinyan?

But Lu Nanchu could tolerate his shortcomings, so why should she tolerate him?

Xu Chen was furious at her suspicion: "Wen Qingyi! Do you know who you're talking to? I'm your landlord! How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Landlord?" Noticing the word, Wen Qingyi suddenly laughed out loud: "Xu Chen, perhaps you could have made that request of me before Lu Nanchu knew where I lived, but now I've already been kicked out by Lu Nanchu because of you!"

"I'm already homeless, why should I care about your feelings?"

Even though he was her landlord, that identity vanished the moment Lu Nanchu kicked her out!

Why would she need to stay here and coax him?

Xu Chen said irritably, "Fine, if that's how you treat me, then why did you even call me?"

She wouldn't be trying to get him to help her, would she?

joke!

She already doesn't care about him at all, and even looks down on him, so why should he spend so much energy helping her?

Wouldn't it be better to just cut off all contact altogether?

"I called you because I wanted you to arrange another place for me to stay," Wen Qingyi said matter-of-factly, since her father had paid for it: "My dad paid you, so you're obligated to arrange another place for me to stay!"

She has already been kicked out by Lu Nanchu, so she can't possibly sleep on the street tonight, can she?

They need somewhere to go.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chen laughed in anger and retorted without hesitation, "I have an obligation to arrange another place for you? What obligation? Did your father sign a rental contract with me? There was no contract at all, so what obligation do I have to arrange it for you?"

This woman...

How come he never noticed before that she was so shameless?

Absolutely shameless!

"Didn't my dad sign a rental agreement with you? Didn't he promise to pay my rent?" Wen Qingyi didn't expect things to turn out like this: "If he promised to pay my rent, how come he didn't even sign a rental agreement? You're lying to me, aren't you?"

He must be lying to her, that must be it...

She could only comfort herself with this thought in her heart.

Xu Chen scoffed, "Why would I lie to you? Your father never signed any contract with me, so the obligations you're talking about don't exist at all! Besides, I don't believe you don't have a single penny on you!"

"Since you have money, you'd better find a place to stay yourself, or you can stay in a hotel! I'm not going to help you anymore!"

After saying that, Xu Chen hung up the phone without waiting for her to speak.

Wen Qingyi was almost in tears. She could only take her passport and look for a hotel to stay in, but five-star hotels in Manhattan were very expensive, with the cheapest costing tens of thousands of dollars a night. She simply didn't have enough money to stay in a hotel for that long.

what to do?

Left with no other option, she had to call Gong Lian for help.

"Ah Lian, it's me, it's Wen Qingyi." Wen Qingyi could only cling to Gong Lian's coattails: "Do you have any money right now? Could you lend me some US dollars? I have nowhere to stay..."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable of her voice, giving off a distinctly pitiful vibe.

She tried to use this method to evoke a pang of heartache in Gong Lian's heart.

But Gong Lian had long since lost interest in her and felt nothing for her: "Aren't you working in New York? How did you end up having to borrow US dollars from me?"

If it were before, perhaps he could have helped her this time.

But now, there's no need.

"It's a long story."

Wen Qingyi told him the whole story, but deliberately omitted the part about the cheating scandal, which made her words incoherent.

Gong Lian frowned upon hearing this: "Why are you talking so incoherently? Why is Lu Nanchu targeting you like this? Did you do something to offend her over there?"

"I, I didn't..." Wen Qingyi hesitated for a moment.

But it was this hesitation that made Gong Lian realize that Wen Qingyi was still hiding something from him, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Since you have a secret, then go borrow from someone else! I won't lend money to a woman who doesn't trust me!"

Even if she was his former love, she shouldn't even think about borrowing a single penny from him!
