Chapter 845 Agreement Signing
She's so calculating about gains and losses, so focused on what she can get from marriage...
Was his initial approach to her truly out of love, or was it driven by self-interest?
At this moment, Lu Nanchu seemed to have found the answer in her heart.
His words made Lu Jinan want to laugh: "Our Lu family is so big and powerful that we can provide him with food and drink, and he lacks nothing in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities. What else do you want me to give him? Do you want me to give him all of the Lu family's assets?"
When he uttered his last words, both Lu Jinan and Lu Nanchu noticed the fleeting greed in Xu Yi's eyes. Lu Nanchu exchanged a glance with her father but remained silent.
But at this moment, the father and daughter already knew exactly what Xu Yi's purpose was, and Lu Nanchu unconsciously clenched her fists.
“Uncle Lu, my father didn’t mean it that way. He just can’t stand seeing me suffer.” Xu Chen, who had been silent all along, couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up to defend his father: “Please don’t make things difficult for my father.”
His father knew perfectly well that he would receive this treatment if he married into the Lu family, yet he still agreed to let him do so. He knew better than anyone why.
But he just couldn't stand seeing the father and daughter conspiring to deliberately make things difficult for him.
His words made Lu Jinan sneer: "Me, make things difficult for your father? Xu Chen, please get your facts straight. I wrote the terms of the prenuptial agreement very clearly. If you don't agree, you don't have to get married. You insist on getting married and want this and that... There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"And don't forget, this marriage was something your family insisted on, clinging to us no matter what. Now I'm just asking you to sign a prenuptial agreement, something that every family in the wealthy circle has to sign for marriage. How come it's become me making things difficult for your Xu family?"
ridiculous.
If the Xu family truly wanted to form a marriage alliance with their family, they wouldn't have reacted as strongly as they have.
Unless, of course, they have something to hide.
That's why I'm so angry.
Xu Chen was rendered speechless by his retort, though his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
Seeing this, Xu Yi spoke up for his son: "President Lu, I don't deny that every family has to sign a prenuptial agreement, but no family's prenuptial agreement is as harsh as yours. The terms are so domineering that it's unbearable! Are you trying to bully my son, Achen?"
Are you deliberately taking advantage of Xu Chen's youth to trick him into signing this unreasonable prenuptial agreement?
It's not that easy!
"Who bullied your family?" Even Lu Jinan, with his good temper, couldn't tolerate the unreasonable behavior of this father and son, especially since he was already holding back his anger: "A month ago, Xu Chen owed Bo Jinyan so much money, and I turned a blind eye and let it pass, didn't I?!"
"If I really wanted to bully your Xu Chen, I would have done it back then! Why would I wait until today? Xu Yi, if you don't want to get married, then don't. My daughter is the apple of the Lu family's eye, and there are plenty of rich second-generation heirs lining up to like her! We don't need your Xu Chen!"
Could Xu Yi really believe that Xu Chen's love for Lu Nanchu is that profound? Putting aside the Wen Qingyi incident, his act of selling his New York wedding house is enough to put him out of the game!
He made so many mistakes, and I've been patiently tolerating them time and time again, yet he still dares to take advantage of my kindness?!
If you give him a few days of kindness, does he really forget who he is?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi frowned: "Does President Lu mean that, regardless of whether this prenuptial agreement is reasonable or not, our Xu family has to sign it?"
Could this Lu Jinan have been planned all along?
They deliberately set this trap for them!
“That’s right, because Xu Chen is a son-in-law who married into our Lu family, he’s a member of the Lu family. I’m already giving him face by signing this.” Lu Jinan said with a half-smile, his gaze filled with displeasure: “If my in-laws don’t want this face, I can take it away at any time.”
Clearly, Lu Jinan had completely lost his patience with him and was no longer willing to give him any face at all.
Xu Chen glanced at his father subconsciously, and said with some worry, "Father? What should we do?"
His father-in-law had already given him a firm order; no matter how dissatisfied he was with the prenuptial agreement, he had to sign it.
There's no room for negotiation on this.
“Ah Chen, if you want to sign, then sign.” Xu Yi didn’t expect Lu Jinan to pull this trick on him. His gaze was like an overturned inkstone, dark and deep: “Even if Nan Chu’s income has nothing to do with you, you shouldn’t let her take advantage of you for even a penny.”
Lu Jinan is indeed a cunning old fox! He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that their family would use a prenuptial agreement to block them!
He had originally planned to use his son-in-law Xu Chen to further investigate the Lu family's assets and repatriate them, but who knew...
He completely overlooked one crucial step!
Since even Xu Yi had said so, Xu Chen couldn't refuse any longer. Even though he found it hard to bear, he still signed his name on the prenuptial agreement under the intense gaze of Lu Jinan and Lu Nanchu.
After signing, Lu Nanchu smiled with satisfaction: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? It would have saved my father from having to explain so much to you."
In the end, didn't he still fall at her feet?
"Alright, Nan Chu, didn't you see that A-Chen's face doesn't look good?" Lu Jinan snorted coldly, paused, and then said, "Xu Chen, the prenuptial agreement is signed, so after the wedding next week, you two can go and get your marriage certificate."
Should we get the marriage certificate after the wedding next week?
This news was inappropriate not only for Xu Yi, but even for Xu Chen: "Why do we have to get our marriage certificate after the wedding? Can't we get it before the wedding?"
Why does it have to be postponed until after the wedding?
What tricks is Lu Jinan playing? Why are all the conditions he's proposing so strange?
Everything was geared towards Lu Nanchu! Yet, his feelings were completely disregarded!
"No way." Lu Jinan firmly refused to register the marriage before the wedding: "Everything can change before the wedding. If you secretly go to see Wen Qingyi again and cause some trouble, wouldn't our Nan Chu be at a huge loss?"
It wasn't that the conditions he set were unreasonable, but rather that Xu Chen was fickle and always had two women in his heart...
He really had no choice but to be on guard!
If he were truly devoted to Nan Chu, why would he hold her hostage over the marriage certificate?
