Chapter 768 Lu Nanchu Disappears
He was genuinely worried about Nan Chu, who had been missing for a full half-month with no trace or news of her.
It was as if the person had vanished into thin air.
At first, he thought she was deliberately avoiding him, so he didn't send anyone to look for her, thinking she would come back on her own. But three whole days passed and she was nowhere to be found.
"What news could I possibly have? Your fiancée is missing, what does that have to do with the Xu family?" Xu Yi couldn't help but retort, "Don't forget you're no longer a member of the Xu family. You've been with the Lu family for so long, you should have learned to change your tune by now, right?"
He wants him to change his mind?
Should we change our address to be like him, and pretend to call him Mr. Xu?
Xu Chen couldn't be so hypocritical: "Dad, Nan Chu has really disappeared. The situation is really urgent. Can you stop pretending not to know me? Even if you kick me out, I still have the surname Xu, and I am still your son. That's a fact you can't erase no matter what you do!"
He practically yelled the last sentence. He couldn't stand this pretentious act of not knowing him and the sarcastic remarks used to mock him!
He can accept being mocked by others, but he especially cannot tolerate being treated like this by his own family!
"Son? Do I have such an ungrateful son as you?" Xu Yi was furious when he heard that the man still considered him a member of the Xu family. He slammed his fist on the table in front of him and shouted, "When the Xu family needed you the most, why didn't you think about this day?!"
He slammed his hand on the table so hard that the teacups on it shook.
Xu Chen admitted that he was being stubborn: "Fine, even if it's my fault, I'll admit it, okay? But now is not the time to settle scores. Nan Chu has really been missing for a long time. Dad, if you have any news, please tell me, okay? I'm really worried about her!"
After all, they went from school uniforms to wedding dresses, and the feelings between him and Nan Chu had long since become so deep that they couldn't be melted away.
She is now missing and her whereabouts are unknown; he is very worried about her.
"If you had treated her like this earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this!" Xu Yi was furious when he heard this. "Shouldn't you be by Wen Qingyi's side right now? Why aren't you with her?"
He hadn't forgotten how Xu Chen had stood up against the entire Lu family for Wen Qingyi, disregarding the interests of the Xu family!
Has he forgotten all of this?!
Xu Chen couldn't stand his sarcastic tone any longer: "Dad! I've already said this isn't the time to talk about this! Isn't the most important thing right now to find Nan Chu's whereabouts? We can discuss other things in detail after we find her, okay?!"
What time is it? Dad isn't worried at all? Has he really disregarded his son?
Or is it that he doesn't care at all whether Nan Chu lives or dies?
Upon thinking of this, Xu Chen's face suddenly darkened.
"Nan Chu's whereabouts are your Lu family's own business, what does it have to do with me? If you're so capable, go find her yourself!" Xu Yi didn't want to get involved at all: "You can't find her yourself, so you come here to make a scene? Do you think the Xu family is a garbage dump? You think you can take in any kind of trash?"
Lu Nanchu has disappeared. Shouldn't the Lu family be the most anxious? Why can't he see any sign of Lu Jinan being anxious at all?
The entire Lu family remained surprisingly calm and composed, while Xu Chen appeared to be the most anxious one.
His own family doesn't care, but Xu Chen, the son-in-law, cares the most?
That's so strange.
Xu Chen had no idea what he was thinking, only hearing his sarcastic remarks, and his face darkened even more: "Dad, Nan Chu is, after all, your future daughter-in-law. Shouldn't you do something about it?"
Regardless, one shouldn't make sarcastic remarks, right? Who acts like that?
"What future daughter-in-law? You've already married into the Lu family!" Xu Yi emphasized again, "Since you've married into the family, it should be your Lu family's business. I never interfere in other people's family affairs."
Even if that person were his own son, he wouldn't want to get involved.
After all, it's a marriage where the wife marries into the family.
Now that he has married into the Xu family, it means he has nothing to do with them anymore.
Seeing that he was so unyielding, Xu Chen tried a different approach: "Fine, you don't care about other people's family affairs, but you must have some information about Nan Chu and my father-in-law, right? Please tell me, what exactly happened!"
He just wanted to know what was going on and the truth of the matter, but why did it sound so difficult?
Does Dad really not care whether he lives or dies?
He didn't believe it.
"Go ask your father-in-law, don't ask me." No matter what he said, Xu Yi still said the same thing: "I don't know anything."
Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell him easily.
Some things he has to solve on his own; we can't always rely on him, can we?
Xu Chen stared intently at him, and seeing his stubborn and unyielding attitude, he was furious, but he still couldn't do anything about it and could only leave dejectedly.
Only after his figure completely disappeared from the Xu family's living room did the butler stand aside and ask him, "Master, aren't you afraid that the young master will hate you for not caring about anything?"
The master clearly knows everything, so why doesn't he say anything?
"I'm not afraid." Xu Yi was never afraid of hatred: "Sooner or later, he will know that I did this for his own good, to help him become independent and self-reliant. He should also learn to face and solve problems on his own and not always rely on me."
He'll never grow up like this, and he'll never become a real man who can stand on his own!
Although this path is somewhat difficult, as long as he perseveres and finishes it, he will be able to stand on his own.
He was doing it for his own good.
The butler immediately understood the old man's good intentions, but he didn't know if the young master could understand them.
After leaving the Xu family's old house, Xu Chen returned to the Bulgari Hotel.
As soon as he returned to the hotel and entered the lobby, the room manager came up to him and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you able to contact Ms. Lu, who has been staying in the room opposite yours? We haven't been able to reach her, and her room bill is due soon."
The main issues are the need to renew room fees and the inability to contact guests.
If a guest has an accident at the Bulgari Hotel, the hotel will also be held responsible.
Miss Lu, who has been living opposite his guest room?
Is that what he thinks?
"The Miss Lu you mentioned, are you referring to Miss Lu Nanchu?" Xu Chen asked again to confirm, "Has she been staying at the Bulgari Hotel?"
And he even lives across from his guest room?
When did this happen? How come he didn't know anything about it?
Didn't she say she'd been staying at the Lu family's house since returning to China? How come she's been staying at the Bulgari Hotel? And right across from his room?
Isn't this just too much of a coincidence?
