Chapter 820 Cutting Off the Source of Wealth
If the Xu family's loan is rejected now because of this, then all his previous efforts will have been in vain.
He absolutely cannot let her do that!
But he forgot that he was now just a son-in-law of the Lu family and had no right to do so.
"Now you know to beg me? When you sold my New York house without my consent, why didn't you think this day would come?" Lu Nanchu stared intently at his face and coldly retorted, "If you had broken off contact with Wen Qingyi earlier, do you think I would be in this situation?"
Isn't it a little too late to beg her now?
She did give him chances, but he repeatedly failed to cherish them and gave up the opportunities she offered.
If he hadn't wanted to sell their house in New York this time, she wouldn't be in this situation today.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's eyes darkened, and his tone was filled with bitterness as he forced a bitter smile: "But I haven't sold that house in New York yet. Since I haven't sold it, you haven't suffered any loss! Why can't you be lenient with me?"
Is the mistake he made really so irreparable?
"If I hadn't discovered it in time, I would have lost my house in New York!" Lu Nanchu was furious when she mentioned this, and slammed her hand on the table: "Xu Chen, the truth is that you used my money to subsidize that woman Wen Qingyi!"
"It's fine if you spend your own money, since we're not married yet and I can't interfere. But I absolutely will not allow you to use my personal assets to buy the freedom of a complete stranger!"
Her money didn't come from thin air; it was all earned by her father and the elders of her family over several generations!
Why should we let him squander money like this?!
Who does he think he is?
Xu Chen replied without hesitation, "Qingyi isn't an unrelated woman, she is..."
Once the words were out, he realized what he had just said, but words spoken are like water spilled, they cannot be taken back.
"What is she? Is she your sweetheart? Or is it that you can't bear to see her suffer with Gong Lian?" Lu Nanchu continued, her gaze cold.
Xu Chen was rendered speechless by her aggressive questioning.
“I don’t care how deep your feelings are for her, but don’t forget, you are now my son-in-law, a member of the Lu family! You have no right to use our family’s money to redeem her!”
As he spoke, Lu Nanchu paused, then continued, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I just came from Gong Lian's house. Gong Lian explicitly asked me to tell you that Wen Qingyi has become his personal maid, and that you shouldn't bother trying to redeem her anymore. He also returned the five million you spent on her to me."
Gong Lian?
"What exactly is Gong Lian trying to do?!" Xu Chen, realizing what had happened, was immediately furious. "He deliberately kept Qingyi by his side, and even made her his personal maid? Is he repaying his money? Or is he deliberately torturing her?!"
If Gong Lian really wanted Wen Qingyi back in his life, then he should have just gotten back together with her, instead of keeping her around as some kind of damn personal maid!
He was clearly just getting back at Wen Qingyi on purpose! He didn't genuinely want her back by his side at all!
Compared to his exasperation, Lu Nanchu was frighteningly calm: "I don't know, but starting today, all your credit cards in the United States are suspended!"
After saying that, she turned around and left.
With his credit cards suspended and most of Xu Chen's other assets being real estate, he simply didn't have enough cash flow to spend.
Left with no other choice, he drove back to the Xu family's old house alone and found his father.
"Dad!" Xu Chen stood in front of Xu Yi, his face ashen and somewhat defeated. "Please lend me some money! Nan Chu has canceled all my credit cards, and I really have no money left! Please lend me some!"
No money available?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi, who had been sitting in the living room with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes: "You want to borrow money from me? Have you come to the wrong place? You are now the son-in-law of the Lu family, no longer my son. If you need money, you should go to Lu Nanchu. What does this have to do with me?"
Back then, he was told to stay away from Wen Qingyi, but he refused, forcing him to put aside his own family for the greater good.
Now, he's unhappy in the Lu family, so he wants to come back and rely on the Xu family.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"Dad! It's all Lu Nanchu's fault that I'm like this today!" Xu Chen was truly desperate, which is why he came back to his father: "Lu Nanchu canceled all my credit cards in the US, and as you know, I cancelled all my cards in China, so they're unusable..."
"Dad, I beg you, please lend me some money for the sake of our past father-son relationship! I'm really at my wit's end!"
In order to gain a foothold in the United States, his father arranged for him to serve as the general manager of the US headquarters. He rarely returned to China. In addition, with the passing of his aunt, the Xu family had practically settled in the United States.
He rarely came back, so before settling overseas, his father had already decided to cancel all of his credit cards in China.
All the credit cards he currently uses were issued by Lu's Bank, so after Lu Nanchu suspended his cards, he found himself in a situation where he had no money to use.
Xu Yi could only laugh: "What does your being in dire straits have to do with me? Didn't I advise you against it? You were the one who wouldn't listen to me and insisted on associating with that woman. Now you're just reaping what you sowed. What does it have to do with me?"
"You want to borrow money from me? I don't have any."
Without a doubt, Xu Yi wouldn't lend him a single penny; it was clear he didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
"Dad, I know you have money. You're just angry with me, aren't you?" Xu Chen looked at him with a pitiful gaze, her tone equally pathetic: "I don't need to lend you much, just give me a few million..."
He thought the amount he wanted was already small, but in reality, several million was not a small amount at all.
And that's quite a lot.
Xu Yi's face gradually darkened as he listened, until finally—
With a bang, he slammed his hand on the table: "Do you think our family is like the Lu family, running a bank? You think you can just come and go as you please? You think I have to lend you millions just because you want to?!"
"Xu Chen, let me tell you, from the moment you chose to marry into the Lu family, I swore I would never interfere in your affairs again! So whether you live a rich or poor life, it has nothing to do with me! I have no obligation to help you!"
After saying that, Xu Yi ignored his son's crying and left the living room.
Xu Chen, looking utterly defeated, collapsed to the ground.
