Chapter 838 Who Wins and Who Loses?
Rather than waiting for him to make a move, it's better for him to strike first!
“Given my uncle’s personality, he will definitely try every means to recover the 25 million US dollars loss!” Although Sang Ruo had only met Xu Yi, her uncle, a few times, she had a clear understanding of his character: “At that time, he will probably come after us again.”
After all, it was Ayan who made the demand for fifty million US dollars. Although the Xu family only paid half of it, twenty-five million US dollars was still a considerable sum.
Given my uncle's personality, how could he possibly let this go so easily?
Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Bo Jinyan's eyes: "That's right, so instead of waiting for him to make a move, we might as well strike first! Doesn't he value his marriage agreement with the Lu family? Now that there's an irreparable rift between Xu Chen and Nan Chu, let's see how their family can continue to expand into the North American market!"
The marriage between the Xu and Lu families appears to be a case of the man being stronger than the woman, but in reality, the real power behind it all lies with Lu Nanchu and his daughter Lu Jinan. With just a little manipulation, they can completely control Xu Chen!
"After all that has happened, the Lu family will definitely not relinquish power to Xu Chen anymore. Xu Chen should now truly be the Lu family's son-in-law."
Previously it was only in a literal sense, but this time it's probably in a real sense: "With such a grudge existing, how could Lu Jinan possibly entrust the future of Lu's Bank to Xu Chen?"
Xu Chen must have had his own purpose in becoming the son-in-law of the Lu family.
According to the tradition of returning to the ancestral home after three generations in the capital, Xu Chen probably wants to exploit those who have no descendants. It remains to be seen whether Lu Jinan will discover his intentions.
Bo Jinyan chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Do you think Lu Jinan is stupid? What exactly is Uncle's purpose in letting Xu Chen marry into the Lu family? Do you think he can't see it? Don't worry, Lu Jinan will definitely be wary of the Xu family, and he'll be very wary of them."
Given that the board of directors of Lu's Bank is mainly composed of clan members, they must have been wary of Xu Chen, an outsider.
I just don't know what Lu Jinan will do next.
“I, Lu Jinan, am quite at ease, but I’m worried about Nan Chu.” Sang Ruo felt that the most innocent person was Lu Nan Chu, but she had no choice but to use her for the time being: “If Lu Jinan finds out about the equity transfer agreement, who has a better chance of winning between Nan Chu and Lu Jinan?”
Moreover, once this matter is discovered, it will definitely cause quite a stir.
Who will win and who will lose then?
It is also very important to them.
Bo Jinyan couldn't say for sure either: "It's really hard to say. We can only wait and see what Uncle and Lu Jinan do next."
Next, all they need to do is watch from the sidelines.
...
On the other side, at the Gong family villa.
Ever since Wen Qingyi was publicly whipped by Gong Lian, she has become extremely timid and is especially afraid of Gong Lian. The confidence that was originally in her eyes has been replaced by fear.
"Wen Qingyi! Someone is looking for you!" Sister Li suddenly shouted.
Wen Qingyi was already used to her calling her by her given name. She was cleaning the living room with a mop and vacuum cleaner in her hand, and operating a robot vacuum cleaner next to her.
When she heard someone was looking for her, she thought it was Bo Jinyan and rushed to the door with great joy. But when she saw who it was, the smile on her face froze for a moment: "Brother Achen? What brings you here?"
"Qingyi, I'm sorry." Xu Chen had promised her, but he couldn't do it because of his personal reasons, so he felt very guilty: "I promised you that I would help you redeem yourself, but I'm sorry, I can't do it."
Can't do it?
Wen Qingyi stood there stunned for a long time before she reacted, forcing a smile and saying, "Brother Chen, you promised me! How could you not keep your promise? Do you know what has kept me going for so long? It's hoping that one day you can redeem me..."
She spoke in a pitiful tone, tears streaming down her face, "How could you go back on your word?"
She was very sad.
Gong Lian doesn't treat her like a human being at all. He says nice things on the surface, like she can return to his side as long as she completes a hundred days of service, but what is the reality? She only made one mistake, and he whipped her in public with a leather whip!
Is this still the same Gong Lian who used to have her in his heart and eyes?
Why couldn't she see his true feelings for her? Instead, she only saw coldness, without a trace of love.
"Qingyi, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just..."
Xu Chen almost blurted out that he owed money, but realizing he was about to blurt it out, he held back: "But I have my own difficulties. You can't expect me to break up with my wife and children because of you, can you? That's not what you want to see, is it?"
He believed that Wen Qingyi, with her understanding nature, would surely be able to comprehend his predicament.
He really had no choice but to do it.
His father has given a clear order, and his father-in-law and fiancée have always disapproved of him sacrificing so much for Wen Qingyi. If he doesn't change his ways, his fate might not be much better than hers.
Only when he gets better can Wen Qingyi get better, right?
Xu Chen, who has no resources, is even disliked by his fiancée Lu Nanchu, let alone Wen Qingyi.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyi couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, so you have your reasons and I don't? Brother Achen, how can you bear to watch me suffer so much without doing anything? You're too cruel... First you made me experience the feeling of climbing from hell to heaven, and then you suddenly plunged from heaven into the abyss!"
"Are you really so willing to abandon me? Do you even know how Gong Lian has treated me? How do the servants of the Gong family view me? I'm living a life worse than death here!"
She practically growled out her last sentence.
She was truly living a life worse than death here. If Gong Lian hadn't been controlling her like this, how could she be in so much pain?
Her only hope now is to go with Xu Chen, but now he says he can't take care of her anymore?
How could she not be angry!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Xu Chen kept apologizing to her, saying sorry countless times: "Qingyi, I really didn't mean it, but the relationship between the Lu family and our family is really delicate right now. I can't let the whole family be ruined for your sake! That would be too selfish!"
Regardless of whether he was a son-in-law of the Lu family or not, he was still a member of the Xu family. He had been in this family since birth, and serving the family was a responsibility he could never shirk in his life!
His father spent so much money on him for nothing; he has to repay that kindness eventually!
