Chapter 852 Raising an Army to Demand Justice
Suddenly, a person popped into his mind, but he wasn't quite sure yet.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure: "How could that be? What could I possibly be hiding from you? Don't start suspecting this and that just because of what happened at today's wedding!"
"Really?" Xu Chen didn't miss her fleeting moment of surprise, which made him even more certain that she was feeling guilty: "Since you're so sure, what were you feeling guilty about just now?"
She must be hiding something from him, and more than one thing.
What exactly is Nan Chu plotting behind the scenes? What is her true purpose?
Lu Nanchu found him utterly unreasonable: "When have I ever felt guilty? Xu Chen, we are already husband and wife. If we can't even treat each other with respect, then what's the point of maintaining this marriage?"
"It's late, you should wash up and go to bed. Stop thinking about all that nonsense."
After saying that, Lu Nanchu took her clothes and went to take a shower, ignoring him completely.
As Xu Chen watched her hurried departure, he became even more certain that his suspicions were true.
If she really is hiding something from him, then the person she knows best is none other than her cousin.
Cousin, are you still unwilling to let him go?
...
The following afternoon, at Qinyuan Bay.
Sang Ruo was working with Bo Jinyan in the study upstairs. Bo Jinyan was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents, while Sang Ruo was holding her notebook and drawing jade carving designs.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
"Please come in."
Aunt Feng came up to report: "Young Master Bo, Mr. Xu is downstairs requesting an audience, saying he wants to see you and your wife."
Mr. Xu?
Bo Jinyan frowned upon noticing the form of address: "Which Mr. Xu?"
There are two Mr. Xus, one is Xu Chen, and the other is Xu Yi.
Which one was she referring to?
“It’s your cousin, Mr. Xu Chen,” Aunt Feng said very respectfully. “He said he has something important to discuss with you and your wife, and asked me to call you downstairs.”
Xu Chen?
"Tell him to wait downstairs for a bit, we'll be down shortly." Bo Jinyan knew he would come looking for him.
"yes."
After saying that, Aunt Feng turned around and went downstairs.
Only after she left did Sang Ruo shift her gaze from the computer screen to the man: "What does Xu Chen want with us? Is it because of what happened at the wedding last night?"
Although this whole thing started because Gong Lian mistook Lu Nanchu for her, she always felt that this statement was just a pretext used by Gong Lian.
His real purpose was to give Xu Chen a taste of heartbreak by using the same methods he had used against him.
"It's hard to say." Bo Jinyan wasn't sure either. He closed his laptop and stood up. "Let's go downstairs and meet him. Xu Chen is still waiting for us downstairs."
Sang Ruo nodded slightly, put the notebook aside, and followed Bo Jinyan downstairs with him.
When Sang Ruo came downstairs, she only saw Xu Chen sitting on the sofa in the living room, leisurely drinking tea.
"Xu Chen, what brings you here?" The first to speak was Bo Jinyan.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen put down his teacup, sat on the sofa, and smiled at him: "I came here today mainly to ask my cousin if you've been secretly contacting Nan Chu behind my back? Are you two hiding something from me?"
If Nan Chu is really hiding something from him, then without a doubt, his cousin is the one who knows the most.
Especially regarding the sale of the New York wedding house, how could Nan Chu have known so clearly without someone tipping her off?
The person who tipped them off was either my cousin or my cousin's wife.
"Contact secretly? Do I need to be secretive to contact my cousin's wife?" Bo Jinyan found it amusing after hearing this: "As for whether there's anything I'm hiding from you, I'm sorry, I have no comment."
After all, they had a cooperation agreement with Nan Chu and would never easily reveal it to others.
Including Xu Chen.
His words only deepened Xu Chen's doubts, but instead of asking Bo Jinyan, he turned his gaze to Sang Ruo: "Sister-in-law, are you also unable to comment?"
He refused to believe he couldn't get anything out of Sang Ruo.
“Yes, my answer is the same as Ayan’s, and I have nothing to say.” Sang Ruo didn’t know if he had discovered something, but she had a cooperation agreement with Nan Chu and couldn’t reveal anything: “Xu Chen, if you have any suspicions, you should ask Nan Chu, right?”
Instead of coming all the way to Qinyuan Bay to ask them.
Compared to third parties like them, Lu Nanchu's answer as the person involved is obviously more accurate and credible, isn't it?
Why did he go to such lengths to ask them, ignoring Lu Nanchu, such a good person involved?
Seeing their consistent statements, Xu Chen's suspicions deepened: "So, the matter of me selling my New York wedding house wasn't leaked by the two of you? Who else could it be but the two of you?"
Who else would be so bold as to oppose him?
“We really didn’t know anything about the house sale.” Sang Ruo found his suspicion inexplicable: “Xu Chen, you must have the wrong person.”
If she knew Xu Chen was selling the house, would she have let such a good opportunity pass by? Who gave him the right to stand here and question her?
Xu Chen's brows furrowed, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them: "Whether I've come to the wrong person or not, only my cousin himself probably knows..."
"Don't you think so, cousin?" As he spoke, his gaze immediately fell on Bo Jinyan, his eyes so sharp that it seemed he was determined to get something out of him.
Bo Jinyan, however, did not deny it, saying, "If I said no, would you believe me? Xu Chen, I don't know anything about selling the house. You'd be better off asking the man who kissed your wife at the wedding last night what really happened."
Since he wants an answer so badly, he might as well just tell him directly.
So that he won't suspect Xiao Ruo here.
"You mean Gong Lian?" Xu Chen's eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this, as if he hadn't expected it. "You mean Gong Lian revealed the house sale to Nan Chu? Why would he do that? What reason would he have to do it?"
He asked himself, he had no grudge against Gong Lian, except for helping his fiancée Wen Qingyi when she was in trouble. He asked himself if he had ever done anything to wrong him!
What reason did Gong Lian have to stab him in the back like that?
Bo Jinyan shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then I don't know. You should ask Gong Lian about this, instead of coming to my house to interrogate me!"
If it were just about confronting him, that would be one thing, since they are cousins, and he could understand out of kinship.
But he got involved with Xiao Ruo, and that was something he couldn't tolerate.
