Chapter 751 Warning to Xu Yi
The fine tea set was instantly reduced to shards, and the Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao tea was spilled directly onto the high-end wool carpet, leaving a layer of mist.
"Don't play these games with me! I won't fall for them!" Lu Jinan said seriously, "I just need one question from you: Is there another woman by Xu Chen's side? Does he no longer have any regard for Nan Chu?"
He went straight to the point, showing no respect for Xu Yi, which put Xu Yi in a difficult position, unsure how to respond.
Xu Yi's silence only deepened Lu Jinan's suspicions: "Tell me the truth! Speak now!"
“He has other women, but Nan Chu is still in his heart.” Even if Xu Yi didn’t want to admit it, he had to acknowledge this heartbreaking fact: “At the welcome banquet that day, A-Chen confessed his feelings to Nan Chu, which shows that he still has Nan Chu in his heart…”
This reason was simply not enough to convince Lu Jinan: "He already has another woman by his side, and you still say that Nan Chu exists in his eyes? If he really liked our Nan Chu, would he bear to hurt her? Would he bear to make her sad?!"
"Don't you think your statements are contradictory? They're simply not convincing!"
He claims Xu Chen still has feelings for Nan Chu, yet he's cheating on her with another woman...
Are you kidding me?
Xu Yi knew he couldn't convince him: "But it's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the guests who came to the banquet that night. They are the best people to testify to it!"
"Or just ask my nephew and niece-in-law, Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo. They were both there that night!"
His words were urgent, as if he were eager to prove something.
Lu Jinan understood that he was still biased towards Xu Chen: "I believe what you just said is true, but even so, it is your Xu Chen who has wronged Nan Chu! That is an undeniable fact! And yet you are still protecting your son?"
"Based on your attitude, I know that if my Nan Chu marries into your family, she will definitely suffer grievances and may not even have a single good day! Even President Xu, who always claims to be fair and just, is like this, so what else can I believe in?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi panicked and quickly reassured him, "President Lu, listen to me, things really aren't what you think..."
"No matter what, I'm going to settle this score with your Xu family!" Lu Jinan was determined to avenge his daughter: "After all this trouble, I'm afraid your loan from Lu's Bank will not be approved."
"Unless you can win back your son Xu Chen's heart, promise never to do it again, and marry into our Lu family, we might not agree."
These conditions were something Lu Jinan had already considered before he rushed over from Manhattan, New York overnight.
There is no possibility of thinking about it on the spot.
Marrying into another family?
Now it was Xu Yi's turn to change his expression, who was usually good-tempered: "President Lu, you can't go back on your word! The marriage between our two families was agreed upon from the beginning. As long as I let Nan Chu into the family, the loan would be approved immediately and we would agree to invest in the US stock market! How can you go back on your word?"
They are both prominent figures in the business world. If they break their word like this, who will want to do business with the Lu family in the future?
If everyone in the Lu family were like him, the Lu family wouldn't have been able to make such rapid progress and establish itself in the traditionally exclusive American financial world as if it had a cheat code!
"That was before our Lu family knew that your Xu Chen had betrayed Nan Chu!" Lu Jinan was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, making the teacups on the table shake with a loud bang. "What's the most important thing in marriage? It's trust and respect! Did Xu Chen do that?"
"He didn't do any of them, so what gives you the right to demand that our family fulfill the agreement?"
Before fulfilling a contract, both parties need to confirm that the contract terms are meaningless before signing it. Since the Xu family has violated the contract, he has no obligation to fulfill it.
This contract can be declared invalid!
Xu Yi knew he was in the wrong, so he did not answer him.
After what seemed like an eternity, he said hesitantly, "But you can't set such a harsh condition as marrying into the family, can you? That's just too unfair to us, Xu Chen..."
What is marriage into another family?
Marrying into a family is something that is only considered when there are no men in the family and only women. It is more suitable for families where women are more dominant than men.
But the Lu family is not like that! The Lu family is prosperous and has a thriving business, so they don't need to rely on marrying into the family to maintain their assets.
Wasn't his purpose in doing this to deliberately torture Xu Chen? To break his spine and reduce him to a nobody in this family, with no chance of ever rising above others?
The consequences of this are far more serious than infidelity; it's tantamount to making him just another face in the crowd.
How could he possibly accept that?
Not to mention Xu Chen, even he thought it was unreasonable!
“Fair?” Lu Jinan murmured the word carefully, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing: “Before Xu Chen cheated on us, our family raised him like our own son. But look how he treated Nan Chu. Is that fair to our family?”
Xu Yi fell silent, too embarrassed to say anything.
Lu Jinan felt he had said enough, so he decided to say a little more: "In addition, if you do not give me a reply within three days, I will assume that you agree to cancel the Xu family's loan at Lu's Bank."
"Three days. I'm only giving you three days. You won't get another chance after that."
After saying that, Lu Jinan left, leaving Xu Yi looking utterly dejected.
What should we do?
The situation was more complicated than he had ever experienced before, and it was far beyond what money could compensate for.
It's all that bastard's fault! He ruined his plans!
...
Sang Ruo was unaware of the gloom and misery surrounding the Xu family. It was already very late when she returned to Qinyuan Bay that night. After resting at home for a few days, she finally had enough energy to go to the Chinese Studies Studio.
"Ayan, I'm going to check on the studio first, I'll be right back," Sang Ruo told him before leaving.
Bo Jinyan never stopped her, and agreed without even looking up: "Okay, go and come back quickly."
"Um."
Sang Ruo turned around and went downstairs to leave. The black Porsche gradually drove away from Qinyuan Bay. Just as the Porsche turned the corner, a black Bentley Flying Spur followed the Porsche's exhaust smoke into Qinyuan Bay.
A few minutes later, Bo Jinyan heard Uncle Jiang report from his study upstairs: "Young Master Bo, a Mr. Xu is here to see you. He says he is your uncle."
Uncle? Xu Yi?
What is he doing here?
Bo Jinyan paused abruptly, his eyelids slightly lifted: "Let him in."
"yes."
