Chapter 758 Self-abandonment
It was clearly his own insistence on helping Wen Qingyi that led to this predicament, so how did it become that she forced him?
"How can you say it has nothing to do with you?!" Xu Chen simply refused to believe that she wasn't involved: "Even though you weren't there that day, I'm sure you knew something! If it weren't for you, would I be where I am today?!"
Throughout the whole affair, she appears to be the victim, but a closer examination reveals that her presence is actually everywhere!
Just like today, she actually met with her cousin-in-law Sang Ruo here!
Hasn't this already given them away?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu sneered and glanced at him sideways: "If I knew, I would have been there that day. Why would I have had my father call me?"
"Xu Chen, now that you've become the son-in-law of the Lu family, please be mindful of your image in public and don't embarrass the Lu family here!"
"You think I've disgraced your Lu family? When you forced me to marry into your family, why didn't you think it would disgrace your Xu family?!" Xu Chen was still very concerned about marrying into the family: "Nan Chu, can you go and plead with Uncle Lu for me and ask him to retract his decision?"
He didn't want to be known as a son-in-law who married into his wife's family.
If he were to marry into the family, he would never be able to hold his head high anywhere! Especially his old friends—how could he possibly continue associating with them?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu raised an eyebrow slightly: "You want me to plead for you? To get Dad to retract his decision? When you chose to help Wen Qingyi back then, why didn't you think this day would come?"
"Your reckless behavior has cost you dearly. Haven't you realized your mistake yet?!"
She believed that her father did this to teach him a lesson!
Otherwise, why would we let him marry into our family?
"I just don't know what I did wrong! Is it wrong to be kind and helpful?!"
Xu Chen couldn't understand why helping others would make everyone say he was wrong: "Your Xu family invests as much as 80 million in charity every year, right? How come it's okay for you to help people, but it's not okay for me to help others?!"
They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on charity, especially the Lu family, whose charitable foundation in the United States has become a benchmark in the Chinese world.
Why should he be criticized for helping others? Why can they help others openly and honestly?
Lu Nanchu frowned: "You're just making excuses and twisting the facts. The charity foundation established by our Lu family is to help homeless children around the world! And you? Who are you helping? A pregnant woman with a fiancé! No one would think there's anything innocent between you two."
“Xu Chen, if you really can’t realize your mistake, you can go back and find your father and let him help you analyze the pros and cons. I believe that with your father-son relationship, you will definitely reconcile.”
Her tone was indifferent and sounded gentle, but if you listened carefully to what she said, you would realize that she was making sarcastic remarks.
She was standing on the moral high ground, rubbing salt into his wounds!
"Don't try to talk nonsense with me! I won't fall for that!" Xu Chen roared, his face flushed, whether from the alcohol or from anger, it was hard to tell. Then his voice softened, and he took the initiative to show weakness: "Nan Chu, I really know I was wrong. Please let me go back to the Xu family, okay?"
"As long as you can help me return to the Xu family, I will give you anything you want, just don't take away my right to go home..."
The Xu family was his home for thirty years! But now, because of his marriage into the Xu family, he has ended up homeless!
How could he possibly accept this?!
Lu Nanchu didn't believe him at all and even mocked him: "If you want to go back to the Xu family, you should go find your sweetheart Wen Qingyi! Why are you looking for me? After all, she's the one who caused this. You should go find whoever caused it to solve it. Don't think I can solve it for you."
She is indeed a philanthropist, but she is also a businesswoman who is concerned with gains and losses.
He's doing nothing but trying to salvage everything with his words, without having to put in any effort. Where can you find such a good deal?
“I’m your fiancé! If you don’t solve my problems, who will?” Xu Chen pointed out a reality she couldn’t deny: “We’re already engaged, and we’re going to get married in the future. As my wife, you have to solve all the problems I’m currently facing!”
How could he not hear Lu Nanchu's sarcasm? But now he really had nowhere else to go. No matter how much sarcasm he endured, as long as he could return to the Xu family, he was willing to do it!
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu glared at him fiercely, raised her hand, and slapped him hard across the face!
A sharp, resounding slap echoed through the spacious executive lounge, reverberating in everyone's ears.
Then came Lu Nanchu's angry voice: "You shameless! I am your fiancée, that's true, but your life or death is none of my business! Besides, we're not married yet! Since we're not married, I'm not your wife!"
"If you really want to go back, you should go back and think carefully about how to make amends and change everyone's opinion of you! Don't act like everyone has wronged you!"
This kind of resentful, complaining mentality is completely unsuitable for him.
She truly couldn't believe that the term "bitter woman" could one day be used to describe him!
After saying this, Lu Nanchu turned and left, completely ignoring Xu Chen who was sitting in the executive lounge.
...
Meanwhile, Qinyuan Bay.
After returning to Qinyuan Bay, Sang Ruo put down her bag and was about to speak when she turned around and saw Bo Jinyan and Xu Yi playing chess. Her expression stiffened: "Ayan, do you have guests here?"
"Yes, my uncle came to visit me today." Bo Jinyan's lips curled into a faint smile, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Xiao Ruo, why don't you come and greet your uncle?"
Sang Ruo didn't know what he was up to, but she still took the initiative to walk up to him and say, "Hello, Uncle."
"Hello." Xu Yi glanced at her indifferently, then said meaningfully, "Sang Ruo, have you seen Nan Chu recently?"
He said this without even looking up, still playing chess.
Regardless of how much turbulent waves those words stirred up in Sang Ruo's heart.
Sang Ruo stood frozen in place for a long time before forcing a smile and saying, "No, the last time I saw her was at the welcome banquet you hosted for her..."
