Chapter 819 Xu Chen Sells a House
Why did he investigate her and Xu Chen's financial situation so thoroughly?
"I did investigate, but I only did it to return the money to you." Gong Lian said calmly, without denying it at all: "I was just afraid that it might happen that I returned the money that Second Young Master Xu spent on Wen Qingyi to you, but Second Young Master Xu then spent the money on Wen Qingyi again, so I resorted to this tactic."
"Please don't misunderstand, Miss Lu."
All he wanted was for Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi to be completely severed.
At least on this matter, his position is consistent with Lu Nanchu's.
Hearing this, Lu Nanchu's expression softened slightly, but she was still very dissatisfied: "Alright, you have a point, but Mr. Gong invited me here today, it shouldn't just be to pay me back, right?"
If it's just about repaying the money, wouldn't it be more straightforward to just transfer the money directly to her bank account?
Why go through all that trouble?
“That’s right, Miss Lu is very clever.” Gong Lian nodded slightly and chuckled. “I’m here today to ask you to tell Young Master Xu that Wen Qingyi has become my personal maid, and that he should stop wasting his time trying to raise money to redeem her.”
"You don't know yet, do you? To help Wen Qingyi raise money to buy her freedom, Second Young Master Xu is already selling his property in New York. I heard that your name is on the property deed for that house. I think you should know about this."
Since being kicked out of the Xu family, Xu Chen's assets have shrunk considerably, and Xu Yi has also revoked his inheritance rights.
Therefore, he is now completely dependent on Lu Nanchu for survival.
Selling his property in New York?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu sneered: "Mr. Gong, are you telling the truth or not? Even I didn't know this news, so how did you find out?"
Even Gong Lian, an outsider, knows more about such an important matter as selling a house than she, the mistress of the house, does.
Isn't she a terrible hostess?
“Because I also have considerable assets in the United States.” Gong Lian’s tone was somewhat sarcastic, as if he looked down on this behavior: “He sent me all the real estate agent information for his house sale. Do you think I wouldn’t know?”
He used to work in the gray market and had no shortage of connections and resources. He bought a house in the United States to leave himself an extra safety net.
After all, in his line of work, failing to handle crises could cost him his life.
Lu Nanchu's face suddenly darkened, as if an inkstone had been overturned, so gloomy it could drip water: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Gong. If the situation is true, I will visit you another day to express my gratitude."
"Excuse me, I have something to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
She needs to go back and ask her carefully to find out if this really happened!
Gong Lian looked at her extremely pale face, as if he could tell something, and didn't keep her any longer: "Alright, then see you another day."
"Goodbye."
After saying that, Lu Nanchu turned around and left. The white Maserati sped all the way to the Lu family villa. What would normally be a half-hour journey took only fifteen minutes.
When they entered the Lu family villa, Lu Jinan was not home; only Xu Chen was there: "Didn't you go out on something? Why are you back so soon?"
"Xu Chen, I'm asking you, are you planning to sell our house in New York to raise money for Wen Qingyi?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen's expression suddenly changed: "Who told you this?"
He had been very discreet and careful in selling the house, so how did she find out?
"Never mind who told me!" Lu Nanchu was very dissatisfied with his attempt to change the subject. "I just want to know if this is true? Are you even planning to sell our house in Central Park, New York, for Wen Qingyi?! Tell me!"
Xu Chen didn't speak, but his gaze was somewhat evasive, to the point that he didn't even dare to look into her eyes.
So guilty he didn't even dare to lift his head.
Seeing his reaction, Lu Nanchu knew what was going on: "So it's true..."
"Why did you do this? Have you forgotten that the house was bought by our Lu family? And I paid for it entirely! I didn't even agree to sell it, so what right do you have to sell my house?!"
And it was all to buy off another woman...
What a joke.
Does he really think he's a modern-day Lei Feng? Does he believe that simply helping others and doing good deeds will bring him rewards?
Xu Chen was also a little annoyed by her questioning: "That house is in my name, and you are currently in China and not going back to New York for the time being. Besides, you don't live there, so why can't I sell it?"
"Although you paid for this house entirely, don't forget that your father forced me to! When I offered to contribute money, your father wouldn't let me!"
She called it saving up for her dowry, but in reality, she was just afraid that if he contributed money, the house wouldn't be entirely hers anymore!
"Don't try to change the subject!" This wasn't what Lu Nanchu really wanted to ask: "What I've been asking you is, why did you continue to spend money on Wen Qingyi even after Gong Lian was already treating her like a maid? You like her that much? If you like her, why don't you just marry her!"
She's really had enough.
He usually spends a little money on Wen Qingyi, so it's fine. Five million is five million. She can just consider it a failed investment.
But now he's actually going to sell their house for Wen Qingyi? What's the difference between that and just giving all her family's money to Wen Qingyi?!
Xu Chen frowned: "Can you calm down? I just can't stand seeing Wen Qingyi being bullied like this by Gong Lian! Besides, selling the house is only temporary. If you want to go back to New York in the future, I can buy you another one..."
"Do you think I'm stupid? The things you buy for me are not the same as the things I buy for myself!" Lu Nanchu felt that he was damaging her personal property: "Xu Chen, I didn't want to do this, but now that you're willing to sell the house for Wen Qingyi, I have no choice but to do it."
“Starting today, all credit cards under your name will be suspended.” Lu Nanchu was forced to do this: “Your Lu family’s loans with our bank will also be suspended. I have already sent a message to the US headquarters.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then pleaded, "Nan Chu, I know I was wrong! Please give me a chance to repent, okay? I won't mention selling the house anymore, and I won't contact Wen Qingyi anymore. Please don't cut off my credit card!"
"And our family's business partnership... If my dad finds out that the approval was rejected because of this, he'll kill me! You can't do this!"
Isn't what she's doing tantamount to driving him to his death?
Why did he want to marry into the Lu family? It was because his loan application failed, and he wanted to gain the Lu family's trust in this way!
