Chapter 747 Xu Yi's Warning
Where is his dignity?
Xu Chen, however, felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill: "Dad, you've really misunderstood. I didn't invite her at all. She came on her own. What could I do? Did you expect me to lock her up in an iron cage and not let her out?"
That's simply unrealistic.
Besides, he didn't expect Wen Qingyi to come here. Who knew she would come?
"She came on her own? Do you think I'm an old man who's easy to fool? I'm not even old yet! And you've already learned to fool your old man?!" Xu Yi felt this was no exaggeration: "Tell me! What's going on between you two? How far have things progressed?"
Xu Chen felt a huge headache coming on: "Dad, I really didn't! Why don't any of you believe me? I really have nothing to do with her!"
But no matter how much he talked, not a single person was willing to believe him.
He also felt very wronged.
"Who are you trying to fool? You've brought this woman home, and you're still saying you have nothing to do with her?! You're kidding me!" Xu Yi didn't believe him at all: "Tell me, what is your relationship with this woman? If you don't tell me, there's nothing I can do to help you!"
Ah Chen is his only son. He is the only son in the family, and the old man is also his only grandson. All his hopes are pinned on him.
If something happens to him, the Xu family will be finished too.
"But how can I explain something that doesn't even exist?" Xu Chen was on the verge of collapse under his barrage of questions: "Dad, I really didn't do anything to betray Nan Chu, why doesn't any of you believe me?"
No matter how many times he explained, no one was willing to believe him. His cousin and his wife were like that, and so was Nan Chu.
Now even my father is like this.
Oh.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi noticed the key point in his words and narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean, 'Why doesn't any of you believe me?' Does anyone else know about this besides me?"
If others find out, this matter will be difficult to resolve.
It remains to be seen who will find out.
As soon as he said that, Xu Chen's eyes suddenly became evasive, as if he didn't dare to look up at him.
"To be honest," Xu Yi's expression suddenly turned serious.
Startled, Xu Chen immediately said, "Yes, some others know, but they are all our own people."
One of our own?
Could it be...?
"Do you mean your cousin or Nan Chu by 'one of our own'?" These are two different interest groups: "You have to explain clearly, otherwise I can't help you."
Or rather, they both knew? Does that mean Sang Ruo knew too?
His face darkened at the thought.
Even though Xu Chen didn't want to admit it, he had to nod: "They both know."
They both actually knew, and perhaps even Nan Chu knew because her cousin and his wife told her.
Although Nan Chu had just returned to China, she had actually met her cousin at his wedding.
So this possibility is not nonexistent.
"What did you say? They both know?" Xu Yi never expected things to escalate this much. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Now even your fiancée and your cousin know. What am I supposed to do now? How are you going to clean this up? Tell me!"
He truly didn't expect that even Nan Chu and Bo Jinyan knew about it.
Neither of these two people are easy to mess with. Both have extremely strong connections. Lu Nanchu is also the only daughter of the Lu family, the apple of their eye. The Lu family is not to be trifled with either.
This is really difficult.
Xu Chen felt that his father's words were a bit alarmist: "Dad, aren't you exaggerating? It's not that serious. It's really just a trivial matter, nothing to be surprised about."
Moreover, his relationship with Wen Qingyi is completely innocent; he was just helping her out casually. It's not as serious as he makes it out to be.
He simply didn't believe that a small favor he did casually could cause any major upheaval.
"Not surprising?" Xu Yi sneered, giving him a cold glance. "It seems you haven't realized the seriousness of this matter. Didn't you see the way Bo Jinyan looked at you just now? How ambiguous! Everyone saw it, and you still say it's not serious?!"
So, in his mind, how serious would it have to be to be considered serious?
Do we only realize the seriousness of a matter when it becomes a huge uproar and causes a huge uproar?
Xu Chen fell silent, feeling wronged and his expression was full of resentment.
"I don't care how far your relationship with Wen Qingyi has progressed, but starting today, you must break up with her!" Xu Yi gave him a direct order: "If you don't break up with her, I will freeze all your assets! Let's see how you continue to help her without money!"
The reason he can't break up with Wen Qingyi is simply because he's rich and powerful, isn't it?
But all his wealth and power come from his Xu family!
Without the Xu family, would Xu Chen still be the universally praised Second Young Master Xu? Without money, how could the Second Young Master Xu continue to maintain his image as a deeply affectionate nobleman?
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen looked incredulous: "Dad! You can't do this to me! I'm your own son! Do you really need to hurt your own son like this for an outsider?"
He had never seen a family let their own son suffer for the sake of a marriage alliance.
I never expected my father to actually do it.
"I had no choice but to do this. If you don't want all your assets to be frozen, you'd better stay away from that woman!" Xu Yi warned inwardly, "Don't do anything you'll regret."
After saying that, Xu Yi turned around, opened the door, and left the backyard.
Xu Chen was left alone in the backyard, gazing at the lush green bamboo forest before him, lost in thought.
He had no idea why things had escalated to this point.
What exactly went wrong?
Inside the main hall.
After Xu Yi left, Bo Jinyan found Sang Ruo in a corner near the dining table in the main hall. He handed her the plate he had just taken some food from: "Xiao Ruo, eat something. You are still very weak."
Aside from drinks, the banquet only offered some simple snacks, similar to afternoon tea desserts. They weren't meant to be a main meal, but they were fine to tide you over temporarily.
Sang Ruo smiled and took the plate and fork from his hand, then began to eat, bite by bite.
Lu Nanchu looked on with envy: "Sister-in-law, you're so lucky to have found such a good man like my cousin. Unlike me, my fiancé is going to turn against me for another woman..."
The further she spoke, the lower her voice became, and one could even hear the deep sense of loss in her words.
