Chapter 900 Seeking Forgiveness
"It's not that I can't tell you, but you have to keep it a secret. No one else can know except the three of us! Including your father!"
Bo Jinyan said calmly, "If you can promise me to keep it a secret, then I can promise you."
"Cousin, I don't know what happened to you after you went to New York. When have I ever revealed your secret?"
Lu Nanchu vaguely sensed that Bo Jinyan had changed, and had an indescribable feeling: "I can promise you to keep it a secret, but I also hope that when you deal with the Xu family next time, you won't involve me."
She'll let it go this time, but if it happens again, she doesn't know if she can forgive him again!
"Don't worry, this is the only time, and I believe it will be the last." Bo Jinyan was also forced into a corner: "Also, you said the Xu family lost a lot of money. How much exactly did they lose this time? Do you have specific figures?"
Lu Nanchu hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "I can't give you the specific data right now; you'll have to go to the bank to find out."
"Let me put it this way: the losses caused by this incident to Lu's Bank's stock price were all covered by the Xu family! If you use our bank's stock price to calculate, you can get a roughly accurate figure."
Bo Jinyan made a rough estimate, and a very faint smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that my uncle must be quite busy lately."
Busy filling the holes in Lu's Bank.
There really wasn't much time to think about Xu Chen's infidelity; they were too busy cleaning up his mess.
"Alright, I've got everything sorted out. Cousin and sister-in-law, I'll be going now. Goodbye."
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly, and Aunt Feng gave her a farewell.
Only after the door slammed shut did Sang Ruo speak: "This was really close! You killed three birds with one stone, that was so beautiful and so cunning!"
It was so insidious that even Nan Chu herself found it hard to bear; it was indeed quite formidable.
On the one hand, it dealt a blow to the Xu family's interest group, causing them heavy losses. On the other hand, it successfully exposed the illusion of a happy marriage between the Lu and Xu families.
More importantly, it ruined Wen Qingyi's image as Xu Chen's childhood sweetheart.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoruo, I made you worry." Only when he was in front of her did Bo Jinyan show a hint of guilt: "This time, if I hadn't had Acheng bribe that waiter, things wouldn't have been handled so well. The one who really deserves praise is Acheng."
"If it weren't for him, how could we have done it so secretly?"
Now that things have gone smoothly, he will give Ah Cheng a bonus next month as a reward.
Sang Ruo felt: "The person you should really apologize to is not me, but Nan Chu."
"However, since Nan Chu has said she won't hold it against you, she probably won't say anything more. But this kind of tactic can only be used once. If there is a next time, I think Nan Chu will definitely hold a grudge."
Especially the look in Nan Chu's eyes before she left, which was full of warning to him.
Even if they have a cooperative relationship, it is rare to see someone treat their partner like this.
Bo Jinyan sneered: "Don't worry, I guarantee this is the last time."
Because he won't use the same method a second time.
If the same tactics are used too often, the enemy will not only fail to take the bait, but will also easily expose themselves.
He wouldn't do something that harms others and doesn't benefit himself.
...
On the other side, at the Waterfront Manor.
After returning from Bo Jinyan's house, Lu Nanchu discovered that there was another man in the house.
She looked displeased: "What are you doing here?"
As soon as she got home, the man she least wanted to see appeared in her house.
Xu Chen.
"I called you but you didn't answer, you didn't go to the bank, and you ignored me no matter how I looked for you, so I had no choice but to come here."
As soon as Xu Chen saw her return, he stood up and walked up to her: "Nan Chu, I want to explain to you about what happened last night."
"Explain what?" Lu Nanchu asked calmly. "What's there to explain?"
Xu Chen was speechless for a moment, then spoke again: "I've investigated what happened last night. Someone put drugs in the wine glass I drank from, which is why I acted so impulsively and did that with Wen Qingyi."
"Nan Chu, for the sake of our past as husband and wife, can you forgive me?"
He stood in front of her, holding her shoulders, as if trying to recapture the feeling of their early romance.
But Lu Nanchu didn't give him that chance at all.
She reached out and pried his hands away, then took a step back to create some distance between them.
"Forgive?" Lu Nanchu murmured the word repeatedly, seemingly finding it somewhat amusing: "Xu Chen, your affair with Wen Qingyi, whether forced or voluntary, is an undeniable fact, and it has caused quite a stir."
Do you think I could forgive you?
She should have been indifferent to him, but seeing his scandalous affair with Wen Qingyi in the news actually stirred some emotions within her.
However, it wasn't as intense as when she first discovered the ambiguous relationship between Wen Qingyi and Xu Chen.
Perhaps, after some time, she will completely forget him?
It turned a couple who should have been inseparable into strangers who were most familiar to each other.
Hearing her indifferent words, Xu Chen felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles, the pain unbearable: "Nan Chu, I really was just socializing with Wen Qingyi at the time..."
"Besides, my father has already compensated your Lu family with a large sum of money, and even he has stopped saying anything. Can't you really forgive me?"
Lu Nanchu didn't want to listen to his nagging: "Xu Chen, I thought you should have known long ago that I wouldn't forgive you. Did you only find out now?"
From the moment he chose to protect Wen Qingyi, she had already completely lost faith in him!
She only chose to marry him to use him and consolidate her position on the board of directors.
It was all about exploitation from the start, so how could there be any feelings involved?
forgive……
So where do we even begin?
"What do you mean?" Xu Chen stared at her bright yet indifferent face, a strange panic rising in his heart: "Could it be that you really don't love me at all anymore?"
It wasn't until he uttered the last sentence that he realized how difficult it had been to say it.
This was a reality he had imagined countless times, yet dared not truly face.
That's why he knew she was deliberately being cold to him, yet he still chose to wait for her to turn back.
The fear is that once those words are spoken, there will be no turning back between them.
Lu Nanchu said without any hesitation, "I stopped loving you a long time ago. Didn't you know that all this time?"
Her words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Xu Chen, like a heavy hammer that pierced his heart!
The pain in his chest made Xu Chen's face turn pale, and his thin lips trembled as he asked, "You stopped loving me a long time ago? You must be lying to me. When did it start?"
"Unless you can tell me when you stopped loving me, I will absolutely not believe you!"
