Chapter 907 Re-pursuing
It should be noted that Xu Chen's ability to sit on the board of directors is entirely due to the shareholding arrangement of Lu's Bank under Xu Yi's name. As Xu Yi's nominee shareholder, he is qualified to sit here.
Does he really think that everything he has is due to his own abilities?
Xu Chen frowned, his tone revealing displeasure: "It seems that you and my cousin really do have a cooperative relationship."
After all, she had just denied having an affair with her cousin, but she did not deny that they had a business relationship.
Although he said he had no comment, he could tell that this was a tacit admission.
"Xu Chen, what are you doing here?" Lu Nanchu was annoyed that he was disrupting her work rhythm. "Whatever it is, can't we talk about it at home? Why do we have to talk about it here?"
And they just happened to pick a time when she was busiest at work.
She seriously doubted whether he did it on purpose.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen walked around her desk, stepped to her side, and placed his hands on both sides of her office chair, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms.
"Nan Chu, I can't deny the affair, but you and my father were plotting against me behind my back, conspiring with my cousin. How long do you think you can hide this? Or do you think you can get away with it without paying a price?"
The reason he kept it a secret for her was because he still loved her and couldn't bear to see his father harm her.
However, ever since her cousin came to New York, she has been making constant moves, and with her cousin's support, he is almost driven to the brink of despair by the two of them.
He didn't know how much longer he could endure it.
He could barely keep it a secret any longer...
Lu Nanchu held her breath, her voice tinged with nervousness: "What do you want? Do you want to expose me? To file a complaint against me with my father? Just to get my attention?"
She always knew what his purpose was; he simply wanted to salvage their relationship.
But can lost feelings ever come back?
She didn't believe it.
"So, you knew everything, you understood everything, but you just weren't willing to give me what I wanted, was that it?" Xu Chen almost understood everything: "Nan Chu, how did you become like this? Where did the kind and innocent you go?"
Why does she look so unfamiliar to him now?
Her ruthless methods caught him off guard and instilled a deep-seated fear in him.
Every move she made was pushing him to his doom!
Is she only satisfied when she sees him lose everything?
But when that time really comes, will she still look at him with a second glance? She'll probably only despise him even more than she does now.
Lu Nanchu said with a half-smile, "Since you know everything, why are you asking here? If you want to complain, go ahead! I'm not afraid of you!"
"However, I want to remind you that if you really expose everything, it will mean that the marriage between our Lu and Xu families has failed!"
"Consider the consequences yourself."
Beneath her calm tone lay a subtle warning, cautioning him against rash actions and warning him what he would face after losing his status as a son-in-law of the Lu family.
"Nan Chu, why do you have to push me to the brink before you're satisfied?" Xu Chen didn't understand her motives for joining forces with her cousin: "Do you only feel happy when you see me lose everything?"
"If I give you what you want, will you do as I wish?"
He really didn't want to lose her.
However, her relentless pressure almost suffocated him, and the pain spread through his heart every moment. He was almost driven crazy by this overly indifferent marriage!
Therefore, he could only resort to such a humble method to gain a little breathing space.
Lu Nanchu told him very clearly, "I'm sorry, I can't."
Although she was somewhat angry about his infidelity, it was something she had expected.
She had been terrified of this day, but when it finally arrived, she found that she felt no surprise at all.
Perhaps she had laid the groundwork and anticipated this countless times, which is why she remained so indifferent.
Everything that happened between Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi made her realize that losing love is not something to regret.
If you have enough money and power, what can't you have?
Even the man you once looked up to can fall at your feet!
"Lu Nanchu!" The veins on Xu Chen's forehead were faintly visible, indicating that he was truly angry: "Why do you have to cut off all my paths to survival? Do you really want to watch me fall into the abyss? What good will that do you?!"
"We are husband and wife. Shouldn't husband and wife be in the same boat?"
Why would she rather believe her cousin than believe him even once?
They should have been a community of shared interests, and they should have united to resist foreign enemies!
He had always wanted to marry her, but after they actually got married, he found that everything was different from what he had imagined!
She became ruthless and heartless; her former kindness was gone, replaced by a cruel and cold demeanor.
Can someone like her really be changed by his love?
He couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Lu Nanchu's voice remained calm: "We are husband and wife, but we both know that from the moment you started being ambiguous with Wen Qingyi before our marriage, we were no longer on the same boat."
“If you are not happy with this engagement, you are free to move to other places in New York, except for divorce. I will remain in Manhattan.”
The headquarters of Lu's Bank are on Wall Street, and she can't leave Manhattan for something so trivial.
So if he really can't stand it, breaking up is the best option.
As for divorce, she still needs this marriage to protect her own interests, so she wants a divorce.
He doesn't even need to think about it!
"I don't agree to break up!" Xu Chen still wanted to be with her, so he resolutely refused to consider this option: "Nan Chu, no matter how you treat me, I can endure it. I believe that as long as I continue to pursue you as before, you will eventually be moved by me."
"I believe that day will come sooner or later."
Beneath his calm tone lay a seemingly unwavering determination.
After saying that, he turned and left.
However, Lu Nanchu wanted to laugh as she listened. The feelings that had been lost long ago would never be the same again, even if they returned.
What's past is past; it's impossible to go back to the way things were.
All she wants to do right now is to focus on her career.
Other things are not within her priority considerations.
...
Evening, at the Xu family's residence.
When Xu Chen returned home after get off work to visit Xu Yi, he found him sitting blankly in the living room, not saying a word, his face as gloomy as an overturned inkstone, so gloomy it could drip water.
"Dad? What happened? Why do you look so pale?"
