Chapter 934 Signs of Impending Bankruptcy
Xu Chen secretly comforted himself.
"What's wrong?" Lu Nanchu noticed that he hadn't taken the credit card yet and assumed that the credit limit was insufficient: "Are you worried that the credit limit isn't enough?"
She originally wanted to set a higher limit for him, but given his history of infidelity, she decided to limit it to 200,000 yuan as a precaution.
This amount is just right, enough to cover his daily expenses without giving him the opportunity to cheat.
Xu Chen shook his head and quickly took the credit card she handed him: "No, it's enough. I thought you would only give me tens of thousands of US dollars or even just a few thousand US dollars for living expenses."
He was completely taken aback when she was willing to give him 200,000 yuan.
"I'd love to do that, but I'm sorry, I don't have a credit card with such a low limit."
Lu Nanchu had considered it, but said, "Although I have no feelings for you anymore, you are still my husband in name only. If your living standards are too low, then I will be the one who will laugh at you."
After all, she is currently the president of Lu's Bank and represents the bank's image.
If Xu Chen were to suffer too much, it would be somewhat embarrassing for her.
Xu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So what you love most is your own image and pride, not that you give me so much living expenses because you love me?"
“Nan Chu, I remember you weren’t this kind of woman who cared about saving face before. You never cared about what others thought and always lived a very self-centered life.”
What's going on? What happened?
Why is she now completely different from the Lu Nanchu he remembers?
She's become so unrecognizable that even he can hardly recognize her!
"You said it yourself, that was in the past."
Lu Nanchu turned around and walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window, focusing her gaze on the city view outside, without looking at him again.
She simply turned her head slightly and said calmly, "Now I am the president of Lu's Bank. If my mindset is the same as before, wouldn't I have made no progress at all? How can I lead Lu's Bank to new heights?"
"Alright, I don't want to say anything more to you. I've said everything I needed to say."
Xu Chen watched her retreating figure, reached out and grabbed her arm, asking her one last time, "Nan Chu, do you really no longer love me? You're not joking? You're not just saying that to get back at me?"
He couldn't believe she had no feelings for him anymore.
Their relationship spanned so many years, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. How many things did they go through in between?
How could she possibly change her mind so easily?
He must have been deliberately deceived; that must be it...
Xu Chen kept reassuring himself with this thought.
However, Lu Nanchu's next words plunged him into an invisible hell: "I stopped loving you a long time ago. Do I look like I'm joking?"
"If you don't believe me, think back. Since we got married, have I ever looked at you even once? Have we ever slept in the same bed again?"
They can't even share a room now; they're only husband and wife in name only.
Given this state of mind, how could she possibly have any feelings for him anymore?
Is he still living in the dream that she still loves him?
Xu Chen's heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow. Her sharp words were like a dense array of poisonous needles piercing his heart, causing him so much pain that his internal organs began to tremble.
His face suddenly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
"So, you planned all along to use my marriage to gain your inheritance rights, and then you could start wiping out the Xu family, right?!"
Xu Chen was shocked to realize just how meticulous her plan had been: "Nan Chu, how could you be so cruel?"
"You think I'm cruel?"
Lu Nanchu couldn't believe what she had just heard: "Xu Chen, have you forgotten that it was your father who plotted to seize our Lu family's assets! I was merely retaliating in kind, and you're calling me cruel?"
"It seems you've always sided with your father, so I have even less reason to show you any mercy."
Hearing this, Xu Chen became somewhat nervous: "What do you mean? What exactly do you want?"
Does she have to bankrupt the Xu family before she's satisfied?
Now, Dad is struggling to keep the Xu family afloat in order to prevent them from going bankrupt.
What else does she want?
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Lu Nanchu had promised Bo Jinyan that she wouldn't reveal a single word: "You have no right to know."
"If you have time to worry about the Xu family, you might as well stay here and live your own life well, and stop thinking about those unnecessary things."
After all, he is now the son-in-law of the Lu family.
Given her status, now that she's married into the Lu family, she has to consider their future.
Hearing her say that, Xu Chen was genuinely worried about what might happen to the Xu family.
My cousin's last intervention had already plunged the Xu family into dire straits, but thanks to Gong Lian's funds, they were able to pull through.
If my cousin is still unwilling to let the Xu family go this time and causes them to go bankrupt again, what will happen to my father?
He suddenly dared not think any further.
...
Evening, Xu Family Manor.
"Master, the eldest young master is back."
Although Xu Chen and Lu Nanchu parted on bad terms, he hadn't forgotten what Lu Nanchu had said. He was really worried, so he came back specifically to check on her.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xu Yi sitting motionless in the main seat of the living room, his face gloomy.
"Butler, what's wrong with my father?"
Upon seeing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but turn to ask the butler.
The housekeeper didn't know either: "I don't know. He's been sitting here since noon and hasn't eaten a single bite. We've tried to persuade him to eat, but he won't listen."
"You may leave."
After the housekeeper left, Xu Chen went up to his father and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? How can you not eat? How can your body take this?"
"It doesn't matter if we miss a meal, the important thing is that all the funds that Gong Lian provided for us have been used up."
Xu Yi was genuinely worried: "Not only that, Bo Jinyan also took over all the projects we were originally planning to reacquire, leaving us with no chance to reacquire them."
After receiving the funds, he immediately invested them in the stock market, and with great difficulty, he managed to stabilize the Xu family's stock price.
However, not long after, an unknown influx of funds into the stock market caused the stock price, which he had managed to stabilize, to fall again!
It even fell even more sharply than before!
As of now, the Xu family's stock price has fallen to the point of suspension!
The market value evaporated by 3 billion in an instant!
The company was so badly impacted by that mysterious flow of funds that it could no longer establish itself in the US stock market.
"How could this happen?" Xu Chen hadn't expected things to develop this way. "Dad, is there any way we can salvage this?"
He simply couldn't believe that if he could overcome the difficulties last time, he couldn't overcome them this time.
Xu Yi closed his eyes briefly: "It's difficult unless we can get funding from other investors."
