Chapter 749 Intentionally Provoking Her
“Yes, it’s a breakup.” Lu Nanchu was completely disappointed in him this time: “Xu Chen, you can live your own life with her. I’m not right for you. She’s the woman who is most suitable to be with you. Let’s break up. I’ll grant you your wish.”
She was genuinely exhausted.
Previously, she felt that for the sake of Xu Chen and the Lu family's interests, it was necessary to continue fighting with Wen Qingyi. But when she saw that even at the welcome banquet held by the Xu family for her, he still wanted to bring Wen Qingyi back, didn't that explain the problem?
This is tantamount to barging into someone's home! They're practically ready to marry Wen Qingyi!
Since they both want to be together, she will grant their wish.
She's not in their way!
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's face turned deathly pale, his heart sank, and even his voice carried a hint of fear: "Nan Chu, you're not serious, are you? Are you really going to break up with me over such a trivial matter?"
A trivial matter?
"So you think this is just a small matter?" Tears welled up in Lu Nanchu's eyes, a thin layer of mist blurring her vision, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Xu Chen, then what exactly is considered a big deal in your eyes?"
"I don't care what's going on between you and Wen Qingyi, but any normal woman would find your behavior intolerable. I'm just cutting my losses in time; breaking up was inevitable."
Yes, if he allows Wen Qingyi to continue contacting him, breaking up is the inevitable outcome between them.
At first, she didn't believe there was such a woman, until her cousin's email clearly stated the level of ambiguity between them. Only then did she realize that the happy marriage she was about to enter was about to be taken away by another woman.
From that moment on, she knew that there was an unresolved decision between her and Wen Qingyi.
Xu Chen looked incredulous and pressed on, "Nan Chu, what have I done to offend you that you treat me like this? You know how I feel about you. I've given you the best I could, so why are you doing this to me?!"
I also want to break up with him...
Over the years, he has been completely devoted to her, obeying her every whim, and almost giving her his heart.
So, she still wants to break up with him?
How could she be so cruel to him?
"Your feelings for me?" If he hadn't said that, things would have been fine, but as soon as he did, Lu Nanchu was furious and slammed the plate in her hand: "Your feelings for me are just for me to watch you treat another woman well? To let her get close to you step by step?"
"Xu Chen, I've never seen anyone's affection as cheap as yours, so hypocritical it's unbearable to look at!"
She felt disgusted even mentioning it.
Given his relationship with Wen Qingyi, why should she, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, have to endure such humiliation?!
The plate in her hand shattered on the marble floor with a loud crash, causing the onlookers to involuntarily take a step back, afraid that they might say something wrong and anger Miss Lu.
However, her words successfully angered Xu Chen: "Lu Nanchu, so this is your view of our relationship? Is this the image I've always had in your mind? Fine, if you want to break up, why not just do it cleanly—"
After saying that, Xu Chen pulled Wen Qingyi, who was watching the show from the side, and kissed her directly with his thin lips!
It was as if he was deliberately trying to annoy her.
The crowd erupted in uproar—
Wow! That's amazing!
"Isn't this Second Young Master Xu a bit too ruthless? This is like stabbing someone in the heart with a knife!"
"Miss Lu is really unlucky to have met such a man. It's such a pity."
Some were shocked, some were amazed, some felt sorry, but no one agreed with Xu Chen's actions.
Wen Qingyi never expected that he, the one who started the trouble, would be dragged into it.
By the time she came to her senses, someone had pulled her away and slapped her hard across the face! The slap made her see stars, and she could barely see who was in front of her.
Then another crisp slap rang in her ear, and she realized in a daze who had slapped her!
Lu Nanchu pointed at Xu Chen's nose and cursed him: "Xu Chen, you're ruthless. You embarrassed me in public. Since you're going to completely break ties with me, then I have nothing to hold back anymore. Don't even think about getting your Xu family's loan approved at our Lu's Bank!"
Unlike other wealthy families in Beijing, the Lu family went overseas early on to seek development, and carved out their own niche on Wall Street in New York.
In order to gain a foothold in New York, Mr. Lu collaborated with capitalists from various countries on Wall Street and founded Lu's Bank. Over the decades, Lu's Bank became the largest private bank in the United States and one of the landmark events in the history of Chinese people venturing into Wall Street.
Because of his keen insight, Mr. Lu has been included in textbooks in the financial world of various countries and is a prominent figure in the history of American finance!
Although Luke's Bank cannot compare with other American banks, it is an insurmountable obstacle for Chinese people who want to make their way in the American financial world!
As the only daughter of the Lu family, Lu Nanchu enjoyed all the family's resources and had almost everything she wanted. She had never stumbled before, but unexpectedly, this proud daughter of heaven actually fell for a man!
Isn't that ridiculous?
Even she herself found it utterly ridiculous.
"Stop right there!" Xu Yi, who had been busy in the front hall, finally changed his expression after hearing this.
He walked straight to Xu Chen's side and slapped Wen Qingyi hard across the face!
This slap was no less severe than the one Lu Nanchu had given her; in fact, it was even more forceful, knocking Wen Qingyi to the ground. It felt as if several of her teeth had been knocked out, and a trickle of bright red blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
She looked pitiful.
Xu Chen was about to help her up when his father slapped him hard across the face, his father's vicious voice ringing in his ears: "You still have the nerve to help her? Instead of cherishing Nan Chu, you go and pity this childhood sweetheart you've barely seen since we were little?!"
"Have you lost your conscience? Can't you tell right from wrong anymore? Nan Chu was so good to you, and how did you treat her? You did something so shameful, how am I supposed to face Nan Chu?!"
Xu Chen covered his swollen face, remaining silent, though a hint of resentment gradually surfaced in his eyes.
Why didn't even his father stand by him? And why did he slap him in front of so many people!
This was a real slap across his face.
It truly lives up to its name; it's absolutely true.
