Chapter 846 Questioning
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen felt it was an insult and slammed his fist on the table: "Uncle Lu! Please watch your words! What do you mean I secretly went to see Wen Qingyi? What do you mean 'what if something happens'? You're clearly trying to prevent me from cheating on you!"
To put it more bluntly, it's to prevent him from climbing into bed! To prevent him from climbing into Wen Qingyi's bed!
Does Lu Jinan really distrust him that much? Does he need to be so wary of him?
Does Nan Chu think so too?
Upon thinking of this, Xu Chen's expression darkened slightly.
"Since you know all this, you should understand why I did this even more." Seeing him get angry, Lu Jinan remained calm and said lightly, "Xu Chen, it's not that I don't trust you, but your past is too dark, making it impossible for anyone to trust you."
Xu Chen immediately fell silent, but his eyes flickered with a hint of resentment.
Seeing this, Xu Yi originally wanted to say something on behalf of his son, but when he thought of the prenuptial agreement, all the words he wanted to say on his behalf seemed to be stuck deep in his throat, and he couldn't say them no matter what.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Alright, son, your Uncle Lu is right. You really haven't done well enough in this regard. Have you ever heard any rumors about Nan Chu in this area? You need to learn from Nan Chu in this regard, you know?"
"I understand, Dad," Xu Chen said, his voice muffled.
"Ah Chen, in-laws, Nan Chu, it's getting late, I'll be leaving now."
After saying goodbye to the three of them, Xu Yi prepared to leave, but just as he stood up, Xu Chen called out to him, "Wait! Dad, aren't you taking me back with you?"
“Xu Chen, you are already a member of the Lu family, so you should stay here with Nan Chu. As for me, you can go back and visit me when you have time.”
He left those words behind and turned to leave before Xu Chen could speak.
After the guests left, Lu Jinan went upstairs as well, leaving only the two of them in the living room.
"Nan Chu." Xu Chen called her name affectionately as always, but his eyes held a complex expression as he looked at her: "Regarding the prenuptial agreement, was it your idea, or just your father's?"
He wanted to find out whether she knew about the prenuptial agreement.
If she was unaware of this, then it means that this was Lu Jinan's decision alone, and Nan Chu was innocent.
But what if she knew?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu chuckled and instead of answering, asked, "You've already signed the prenuptial agreement, so what's the point of asking about this now?"
The prenuptial agreement has already been signed and is in effect. Why is he still asking these questions? Even if it's her, what can she do?
What else can he change?
Just like Dad said, he was just a son-in-law in the Lu family. Everyone knew what a son-in-law's status was.
"Nan Chu, answer me first, this is very important to me." Xu Chen stared at her quietly, as if he didn't want to miss any expression on her face.
But he waited for a long time without receiving an answer from her, and the man's expression became somewhat anxious. He kept shaking her shoulders: "Speak up, why won't you speak? Does your silence mean you agree? Did you really participate in drafting this prenuptial agreement?"
Just looking at those terms, without her involvement, he really couldn't imagine that Lu Jinan could be so meticulous!
Even the smallest details of the property division were written out!
How could this not arouse his suspicion?
Lu Nanchu's shoulders were shaking so hard she felt dizzy: "Xu Chen, let go of me first, you're making my head spin..."
If he hadn't been supporting her, she might have collapsed into his arms.
"Nan Chu, tell me, was the prenuptial agreement your idea or your father's?" Xu Chen was determined to get an answer from her: "Tell me!"
Lu Nanchu was getting annoyed by his nagging and said angrily, "Does it really matter whether it's my idea or my father's idea?! The prenuptial agreement has already been signed, the wedding is coming up soon, and the date for registering the marriage has been set. What's the point of you arguing about these things now?!"
She really couldn't understand why he was so insistent on getting an answer from her.
Even if she was involved, so what? Would the outcome change because of it?
No, it won't.
Their wedding date is set, and unless something major happens that changes it, everything is already set in stone.
"So, you really got involved?" Seeing that she didn't deny it, Xu Chen knew that she had been involved to some extent. His eyes were filled with deep disappointment, and even his tone was tinged with disbelief: "Nan Chu, how could you become like this?"
Is Lu Nanchu, who is so ruthless, still the girl he once loved?
Why did he feel so unfamiliar with it?
Lu Nanchu didn't want to argue with him: "Instead of asking me here, you should ask yourself. Based on what you did back then, the fact that I've become who I am today is already a result of my self-control. Don't be so demanding of me!"
“I’m not a saint. I have my own temper. There are some things I can’t tolerate, so I can only solve them in this way.”
Even Lu Nanchu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, has encountered people and situations she can't handle.
Wen Qingyi's appearance shattered their happy past, but the past is the past, and she no longer loves him as much.
Or rather, she has become indifferent to him and can never go back to the way things were before.
"So, you still haven't forgiven me?" Xu Chen heard the resentment in her tone, all of which was his doing. "If you haven't forgiven me, then why did you get back together with me? What are you up to?"
Is there something she wants to get from him?
But she has everything he has, and more and better than him. Sometimes even he feels that she can't reach it. What does he have that she doesn't?
A hint of gloom crept into Lu Nanchu's beautiful eyes, but a faint smile curved her lips as she murmured his words repeatedly, her tone ambiguous: "What am I planning? Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Chen was a little confused about her meaning for a moment.
"If my father hadn't produced that prenuptial agreement, were you and your son planning to seize the Lu family's assets?" Lu Nanchu's question was sharp and unforgiving: "So that's why you and your son were so defensive! Is that right?"
She had long suspected these questions and wanted to ask them, but she had kept them to herself and never said them aloud.
But now that he's asked all these questions, she has nothing left to hold back.
