Chapter 874 Backstabbing
When Xu Chen turned around, he saw a look of suspicion in her eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I don't even know when it started, but all we talk about is my cousin and his wife? Is that how you see me?"
Lu Nanchu stared intently at him: "I'm only asking you, did you do it?"
If it is indeed the Xu family who did it, as my cousin-in-law said, then the person who leaked the address of the art gallery must be Xu Chen.
Because when she gave her cousin and his wife their business cards, only Xu Chen, a member of the Xu family, was present.
There would be no one else but him.
"What if I say no? Would you believe me?" Xu Chen felt a pang of heartache seeing her question him like this: "Nan Chu, ever since my cousin and his wife came to New York, you've completely ignored me."
"Now that you've finally come back, it turns out you've come back to question me..."
His voice was filled with sorrow, as if he had truly been heartbroken by her.
Lu Nanchu threw her shoulder bag in front of him: "Stop wallowing in self-pity! Don't change the subject! Answer my question directly!"
He kept trying to shift the focus and use emotions to get away with it.
Do you really think she can't see anything?
“I’ve already answered your question.” Her anger dispelled his grief, causing Xu Chen’s face to turn cold: “But you don’t believe me, do you?”
He did answer her, but she didn't believe him.
What can he do?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu couldn't help but sneer: "You want me to believe you? Look at what you've done. When I gave my cousin the curator's business card, you were the only one present. If you hadn't leaked the information, would my cousin's wife have been shot and injured today?!"
"Xu Chen, I don't know when you started to become so unscrupulous? Is this how you, as a son-in-law of the Lu family, should act? Don't forget, you are now a member of the Lu family! You represent the Lu family's position!"
However, he secretly contacted his father, Xu Yi, behind her back, and even used her to try to harm his cousin and his wife!
What a clever scheme of using someone else to do the dirty work!
If she hadn't called her cousin's wife today to ask about the situation, she probably would still be in the dark!
"You forced me into this!" Xu Chen had been holding back for a long time, and he didn't want to take it anymore: "The three of you conspired to frame me first! You even teamed up with my cousin to kick me and my dad out of the new project!"
"Aren't all of these things the result of your schemes against me? What, you're allowed to scheme against me, but I'm not allowed to scheme against you?"
If they hadn't plotted against him repeatedly before, how could he have done such a thing?
Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall!
What about him, who had been bullied by the three of them all along?
Looking into his eyes, Lu Nanchu saw only disappointment: "You blame me for kicking you out of the new project? But the truth is, you started this trouble first! I kept reminding you that it was the board meeting, and that you could discuss personal matters privately, but did you listen?"
"You've been at odds with my cousin at the board meetings! I made this choice purely out of necessity! How can you blame me for this?"
Besides, she was just going with the flow at the time.
Bo Jinyan has already made his position clear: he will not accept any projects involving Xu Chen, including this one.
He'd already said those things, so how could she let Xu Chen continue to participate?
"This decision was made by you, so who else should I blame but you?" Xu Chen couldn't help but retort, his gaze sharpening. "Lu Nanchu, it's because of this decision that I was forced to make this choice!"
It all started because of her.
How could she possibly pin all the blame on him?
Lu Nanchu smiled enigmatically and said, "Is that so? You say this time it started because of me, then what about the shooting that happened to my cousin and his wife at home last time? Was that also because of me?"
"Don't forget, when my cousin and his wife were first shot, the board of directors of Lu's Bank hadn't even convened yet! Their ordeal happened long before I made my decision! Are you going to push even this onto me?"
His skin is incredibly thick.
All the blame is on her, and he himself has done nothing wrong?
Xu Chen admitted he was in the wrong, but he still insisted, "I don't know how they got shot last time, but this time, it was you who caused it!"
If it weren't for her, he would never have ended up like this.
His decision was nothing more than an eye for an eye.
You can't blame him.
"Xu Chen, you're such a coward." Lu Nanchu was utterly disappointed in him: "You can't even admit what you've done..."
"You're not a real man."
He made her look down on him.
If he did it, and he even dared to admit it, even if she didn't agree with his actions, she would still respect him as a man.
But he dared to do it but not admit it, just like the kind of coward who is only good at bullying his own people but has no ability to actually fight against others.
Is he not a man?
Noticing her words, Xu Chen's gaze suddenly turned icy: "I'm not a man? Why have I become like this? Isn't this all your doing? You were the one who decided to marry me, and you haven't stepped into my room since the wedding!"
"You tried to cover up all the problems with indifference, and you almost drove me crazy! And yet you blame me for not being a man? Nan Chu, every cause has its effect. I am the one who reaped this effect, but you are the one who sowed the seed!"
"If we're talking about the harm done to my cousin and his wife, you indirectly caused all of this to happen! Do you think you can get away with it?"
Don't blame everything on him.
There are some things that Lu Nanchu would never have done if he hadn't been so ruthless.
If she hadn't driven him to the brink of despair, how could he have made such a decision?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu gazed at him quietly, her voice calm and composed: "I have never said that I can remain unscathed. I know very well what I have done, and I am willing to admit it. But what about you?"
"You can't bring yourself to hurt me, so you go after your cousin and his wife? Xu Chen, Bo Jinyan is your cousin! Sang Ruo is your cousin's wife, how can you use such methods against your own family?"
Such actions would be intolerable even in China.
After all, it's hard for anyone to accept being stabbed in the back by a loved one.
“Bo Jinyan is my cousin, that’s true, but has he ever treated me like a younger cousin?” Xu Chen retorted. “Every single thing he’s done, isn’t it all a betrayal of me?”
