Chapter 735 Giving Her a Lesson
Xu Chen was a little puzzled. After taking a seat and ordering coffee, he asked her, "Did you get to Bulgari from home so quickly?"
"Oh, I was just shopping nearby, so I was going the same way and got here before you."
In order to continue monitoring him and Wen Qingyi, Lu Nanchu did not reveal that he was staying at the Bulgari Hotel, but deliberately kept it a secret.
Xu Chen didn't suspect anything: "Nan Chu, I called you here today because I have something to ask you. Please answer me honestly."
"What is it? Tell me."
Xu Chen's expression was somewhat serious: "A while ago, Wen Qingyi was inexplicably beaten up in an alley near the hotel by a group of thugs. Did you hire these thugs? Did you arrange for people to stake out near the Bulgari Hotel?"
Actually, while waiting at the traffic light, he took a quick look at his mailbox.
The transaction record sent to the email was indeed from Nan Chu's bank account. Although there were no photos of the transaction or direct evidence that she was the one who did it, based on this bank account, Nan Chu was definitely involved in this matter!
It's just unknown how much Nan Chu was involved in all of this.
That's why he suddenly decided to ask her out today.
"I thought it was something else, but it's just about this?" Lu Nanchu had already guessed he would find out, and she hadn't intended to hide it from him anyway, so she readily admitted, "That's right, I hired those thugs. Who told her to be so ambiguous with you?!"
"I'm going to teach her a lesson! So she'll stay away from you!"
Don't forget that Xu Chen is her fiancé.
Why should she remain indifferent just because Wen Qingyi deliberately approached her? All she did was hire a group of thugs to beat her up; that was a light price to pay.
Xu Chen was shocked to discover that it really was her: "So it was you! Why did you do this? You could have come at me directly, why did you have to torment her?! Don't you know Qingyi is innocent?!"
"Innocent?" Lu Nanchu chewed on the word repeatedly, finding it ridiculous: "You're saying Wen Qingyi, who's been in an ambiguous relationship with you, is innocent? If you had kept your distance from her, would I have resorted to such a drastic measure? You're protecting her like this; have you ever considered my feelings?"
When he said Wen Qingyi was innocent, did he ever consider that she was also innocent?
She suddenly found herself with a rival in love. Wasn't she innocent? Why did Xu Chen only see Wen Qingyi's innocence and not the hardships she endured in the middle?
Xu Chen remained silent for a moment before speaking: "I know you're feeling bad, but I really haven't done anything to wrong you. Why are you using such methods to target Qingyi? She just broke up with her fiancé; she's already suffered enough..."
It was precisely because she was homeless that he chose to help her in this way.
But unexpectedly, this brought her such a disaster.
He always thought he could balance the relationship between the two of them, and he thought that with Nan Chu's kindness, she would understand why he did what he did.
It seems he overestimated Nan Chu's patience.
"What did you say? She's miserable?" Lu Nanchu felt that he was clearly biased towards Wen Qingyi: "I suddenly have a rival in love, aren't I miserable? I've been living a good life in New York, but then my fiancé has a woman with ulterior motives by his side, how can I not be wary?"
"And what about you? Not only did you not speak up for me, but you also spoke up for Wen Qingyi at every turn. How can you expect me not to target her?"
The more he favored Wen Qingyi, the more ruthlessly she would target Wen Qingyi.
Doesn't he understand?
Xu Chen was speechless for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with disbelief: "You actually treat Qingyi as your love rival? She's my childhood sweetheart, the one I grew up with. Don't you think that's petty? Not generous at all!"
This behavior is hardly befitting of a daughter from the wealthy Lu family.
She has completely lost the demeanor expected of a wealthy heiress!
"If you're so magnanimous, wouldn't it be better if you just married her? Why bother with a marriage alliance with our Lu family?" Lu Nanchu felt that his heart was completely biased: "You're advising me to be magnanimous, but why don't you think about your own reasons? If you weren't biased, would I have done such a thing?"
"Advising others to be magnanimous is tantamount to being cruel to oneself. I will not stand by and watch my fiancé have another woman by his side and keep enduring it. That is not my style."
He went too far, which is why she took action.
He was the root of all the trouble, and yet he's here accusing her of not being generous enough?
How ridiculous!
Xu Chen hadn't expected her to be so jealous: "I'm only biased towards Wen Qingyi because you went too far! If you hadn't done that, would I have been biased towards her?!"
He seemed completely unaware of what his problem was.
"You were biased first, and I acted later. Don't mix up the order of events." Lu Nanchu laughed in anger at his self-righteousness: "You should remember that you are the one who made her like this, not me. Without your indecisiveness and lack of discretion, I would never have laid a hand on her."
After all, she's not someone who's willing to help just anyone.
She will only take action if her interests are truly infringed upon; she won't bother with just anyone.
Is it him?
Is he really the culprit who ruined her life?
For a moment, Xu Chen doubted himself: "Do you really think so? You think I'm indecisive and lack tact? Do you think I'm the kind of scumbag who messes around with women? In your eyes, am I really that despicable?"
His tone was hurt, as if he couldn't believe she would think of him that way.
So this is how she saw him.
This was the first time he had realized how utterly worthless he was.
"At least, in my opinion, you are the root cause of all this."
Lu Nanchu sensed the hurt in his tone, but instead of comforting him, she became even sharper: "You knew she had ill intentions towards you but didn't refuse, and you gave her the wrong impression by helping her book a room."
"Even your father thinks so, and you still don't know where you went wrong? I think you're the one who should be reflecting on your mistakes the most!"
If he does something wrong, he should pretend to be hurt and affectionate in front of her. She won't tolerate his bad habits!
If he doesn't change his indecisiveness, she'll have a lot of trouble after marriage!
At least we've discovered it now, so it's not too late.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen tightened his grip on the water glass for a moment: "Okay, I will reflect on my actions. But let me ask you one more thing. Was Qingyi's miscarriage today caused by the thugs you hired?"
If she really did it, then she is absolutely terrifying!
If he marries a woman like that, will he ever have a good life?
