Chapter 725 Using a borrowed knife to kill
"Have you been bewitched by that woman?"
Otherwise, why would he help such a scumbag woman? Can't he see through her true colors?
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen frowned, disagreeing with his opinion: "Dad, you've met Qingyi before, how can you slander someone's innocence like this?"
Qingyi was his childhood sweetheart, and their families had business dealings. Even though the Wen family was in decline, she was still the eldest daughter of the Wen family. How could her father say such a thing about her?
If the Wen family elders heard this, wouldn't they be furious?
"Telling the truth is not an insult!"
Xu Yi thought he had completely lost his mind: "Xiao Chen, of all people to help, why did you have to help her? Besides, I'm the only one who knows about these things. Have you thought about what would happen if it got back to New York and Nan Chu found out? Do you think Nan Chu would let you off the hook?"
Xu Chen's brows furrowed even more: "I will decide based on the situation, and I will not do anything that would harm the interests of the Xu family."
He will try his best to downplay the impact, balance the relationship between the two families, and keep Lu Nanchu, who is far away in New York, from knowing about this.
It will not affect the interests of the Xu family.
He has that confidence.
"But in fact, from the moment you chose to help Wen Qingyi, you were already harming the Xu family's interests." Xu Yi coldly reminded him, "Xiao Chen, the truth will eventually come out. How long do you think you can hide it from Nan Chu? Don't always treat others like fools."
No one is a real fool.
Especially for wealthy and powerful families with complex interests, every move they make is made with utmost care, and they are even less likely to allow others to encroach on their interests.
The same applies to marriage.
Xu Chen was thoroughly fed up with his warning: "Dad, can you please stop lecturing me? I've already said I know what I'm doing. You can't expect me to have no contact with any men after I get engaged to Nan Chu, can you?"
This is something that is extremely difficult for him to do.
Moreover, he also felt it was very inappropriate.
"In short, you'd better be careful. Better safe than sorry," Xu Yi warned. "And about Ayan, I heard you broke one of his bodyguard's arms for Wen Qingyi? Is that true?"
If he's gone to such lengths for Wen Qingyi, how could their relationship be anything but simple?
At this moment, a cloud of sorrow couldn't help but rise in Xu Yi's heart.
He was genuinely worried about Xiao Chen.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. On the one hand, it could even shake the marriage agreement between the Xu and Lu families. On the other hand, it could cast a shadow over his already clear-headed love life.
No matter how you look at it, Xu Chen is at a disadvantage by getting close to Wen Qingyi.
Xu Chen was surprised that he found out so quickly: "Dad, who told you this? Was it my cousin?"
Apart from my cousin, very few people know about this.
At the time, besides Acheng and Qingyi, only he and his cousin were present.
Even Sang Ruo didn't know about it, but her father did. It must have been her cousin who tipped her off.
"Never mind who told me!" Xu Yi's tone revealed a hint of impatience: "I only ask you, is this really true?"
Xu Chen had no choice but to nod and admit, "It's true."
He did break Ah Cheng's arm, but he felt that his cousin deserved it.
"You!" Xu Yi was almost speechless with anger, her finger trembling as she pointed at him. "Xu Chen! When did you become so audacious? You'd go to such lengths for a woman? You still say you and she are innocent? Innocent my foot!"
Did Xu Chen really think he was a fool?
If he was truly innocent, why would he break Wen Qingyi's arm for her sake?
Is this what you call innocence?
Xu Chen didn't understand why his father didn't believe him: "Dad, why won't you believe me? I'm really innocent with Wen Qingyi!"
He was so anxious he almost jumped up and down: "I'm a man with a fiancée. I know I'm already with Nan Chu. How could I possibly do something that would bring shame to my family?"
He really wondered if his father was insulting Wen Qingyi or him.
Is he the kind of man who would repeatedly waver between two women?
"I bet you just don't know!" Xu Yi sneered, clearly disdainful of his words: "If you really knew, you wouldn't have done something so easily misunderstood!"
"Xiao Chen, let me tell you, I don't care about anything else, but if you really let this matter affect the marriage agreement between our Lu and Xu families, you'll see how I deal with you!"
After saying this, Xu Yi turned and left the main hall, leaving behind a helpless Xu Yi slumped onto the sofa.
It must have been my cousin who did it.
Otherwise, why would his father scold him like that?
Cousin, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you really have to drive Qingyi to the brink of despair? What deep-seated hatred exists between them that warrants such retaliation?
...
On the other side, Qinyuan Bay.
Bo Jinyan was writing an email in English in his study when Sang Ruo noticed that he had been there for a while. She brought him a bowl of white fungus soup and said, "Jinyan, take a rest. Don't overwork yourself."
He's been sitting in his study all day. Even with intense work, he needs to take a break in between, right?
"I can't rest." Bo Jinyan quickly looked away from the computer screen and landed on the white fungus soup beside her: "What's this?"
"Oh, this is the white fungus soup that I asked Aunt Feng to make for you. Have some and rest for a bit."
As she spoke, Sang Ruo handed him the white fungus soup.
Bo Jinyan drank it all in one gulp, then pulled a tissue from the tissue box next to him to wipe his thin lips before throwing the tissue into the trash can, his movements fluid and effortless.
"Who are you emailing?" Sang Ruo glanced at his computer screen and noticed that it not only contained many photos of Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi together, but also included photos of Wen Qingyi visiting the OB-GYN.
It's obviously an email to someone, and a rather detailed one at that.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan's thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was sarcastic: "Send an email to Xu Chen's fiancée, Lu Nanchu."
After finishing his sentence, he added several somewhat ambiguous photos as attachments before pressing Enter and sending the message successfully.
“Lu Nanchu?” Sang Ruo murmured the unfamiliar name over and over again, as if she understood something. She narrowed her eyes and said, “You wouldn’t be thinking of using her to deal with Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi, would you? Playing the game of using someone else to do your dirty work?”
Xu Chen is his cousin. Because of his mother, even if Xu Chen does something outrageous, he cannot do anything to betray the Xu family.
Therefore, he could only use others to deal with Wen Qingyi.
Also, take this opportunity to give Xu Chen a warning and tell him to behave himself.
