Chapter 886 Southern Initial Probe
"Cousin, I heard that you transferred all of Xu Chen's remaining shares in Lu's Bank." Lu Nanchu came today specifically for this: "Is it true? Do you want to invest in Lu's Bank?"
If he wanted to invest in Lu's Bank, he could have done so through her. Why go through all this trouble to find Xu Chen?
They are partners, so why can't they speak frankly and openly about things?
This was a question that Lu Nanchu simply couldn't understand.
Bo Jinyan walked to the sofa, sat down next to Sang Ruo, and poured himself a glass of water.
After finishing his drink, he finally spoke: "This matter actually has nothing to do with you. It's a feud between me and the Xu family. Nan Chu, you don't need to get involved."
“Cousin, I don’t want to get involved either, but Xu Chen has already made a scene in my office. How can I ignore it?” Lu Nanchu asked calmly, “If you want to invest in Lu’s Bank, you can just tell me directly. Why do you have to go through him?”
More importantly, the shares of Lu's Bank under Xu Chen's name were agreed upon when the Lu and Xu families were united by marriage.
He shouldn't have touched that shareholding.
No wonder Xu Chen was so angry.
Bo Jinyan understood her implication and frowned: "What do you mean by Xu Chen causing a scene in your office? What happened to him?"
“You transferred all the remaining shares of Lu's Bank under his name, and he suspects that I did it for you!”
Thinking of this, Lu Nanchu became furious and said irritably, "You managed to disappear without a trace, but what about me? I've become the scapegoat for you! Am I wronged or not?"
Even though Bo Jinyan was the one who did all the work, Xu Chen suspected his wife first.
hehe.
How ironic.
The lack of trust between husband and wife was truly exposed in this matter.
Bo Jinyan hadn't expected her to take the blame for him: "I didn't know that. Why would he suspect you?"
The key point is that, in his view, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lu Nanchu!
How did Xu Chen come to suspect Lu Nanchu?
This is so inexplicable.
“Maybe he suspects I like you, which is why he’s so nice to you and your cousin-in-law.” Lu Nanchu didn’t want to say it, but at this moment, it seemed she had to: “And that’s why I became the first person in his heart to do this.”
Her tone was indifferent, but her expression carried a strange sarcasm that chilled everyone to the bone.
Sang Ruo glanced at Bo Jinyan without saying a word.
However, the sarcasm in his eyes was too obvious to ignore.
"Xiao Ruo, don't misunderstand, I have no feelings for Nan Chu, you know that."
Bo Jinyan seemed afraid that Sang Ruo would misunderstand, so he immediately explained to her.
Sang Ruo chuckled and said, "Ayan, don't worry, I won't misunderstand. I know why you did this. Xu Chen doesn't know about our relationship with Nan Chu either, so it's natural for him to have questions."
She's not a jealous woman; she wouldn't get jealous for no reason.
Seeing that she seemed to have no misunderstanding, Bo Jinyan was relieved and turned to speak seriously again: "Then you can completely clear up this misunderstanding, but Nan Chu, my relationship with the Xu family is becoming more and more irreconcilable, so you'd better not interfere."
His tone was serious, as if reminding her not to interfere too much in the matter.
To avoid getting burned.
"Cousin, I really don't want to get involved, but you have to clear my name in this matter, right?" Lu Nanchu asked calmly, "I can't just take the blame for you for no reason, can I?"
Bo Jinyan was speechless for a long time before finally speaking: "Nan Chu, go find whoever wronged you. I can't clear your name in this matter."
The crucial point is that he himself needs to remain invisible, so how could he stand up for her and clear her name at such a critical moment?
The current timing is too unfavorable for him; he cannot act rashly.
"Why?" Lu Nanchu was a little confused. "Cousin, is there something you're having trouble telling me?"
Seeing that she seemed unaware of the conflict between Ayan and the Xu family, Sang Ruo suddenly spoke up: "Nan Chu, Ayan has his own difficulties. He said he can't show up, and he probably really can't. Don't make things difficult for him."
When Lu Nanchu saw that Sang Ruo had stood up for him, he didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he could only sigh slightly and say, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. But as the president of Lu's Bank, I still have to remind my cousin of something."
“Our bank’s shares have never fallen into the hands of outsiders. Although Xu Chen is an outsider, he is the son-in-law of the Lu family, my husband, and my cousin. If you’re thinking of taking over our bank, I advise you to give up now!”
Otherwise, not only her, but even her father Lu Jinan might not be able to protect him.
She wasn't exaggerating; she was reminding him of a very likely reality.
Bo Jinyan, however, could not deny it, saying, "I have never been interested in your bank's shares. I did this entirely to target the Xu family."
That's all he could say; he couldn't tell her anything more.
“In that case, don’t involve me, or it will attract the attention of the other uncles in our bank.” Lu Nanchu reminded him calmly, “You should know that Lu’s Bank is not just mine. Our bank’s board of directors is not to be trifled with.”
If outsiders could hold shares, many shrewd individuals wouldn't be sitting in the executive director position at all.
It is precisely because of their xenophobia that the Lu family bank has become what it is today.
This is both Lu's Bank's good fortune and its problem.
This is also a key reason why she is so eager to embrace the market and pursue marketization.
Bo Jinyan noticed her implication, and a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Don't worry, I really have no interest in you at all. If it weren't for your strong invitation, I wouldn't have come to New York this time."
He originally didn't want to come to this overseas project, but if it weren't for Old Master Bo's emphasis on it, forcing him to come, he would have really arranged for someone else to be in charge.
If he were interested in Lu's Bank, he could easily raise funds and acquire shares through other means.
There was absolutely no need to go through such a long and complicated process.
"I know, I'm just reminding you." Lu Nanchu meant well: "Cousin, you can have fun, but don't go too far. It's easy to get yourself into trouble. It's not worth it to get yourself involved just to target the Xu family."
She had no interest in getting involved in the feud between her cousins.
As long as it doesn't harm her interests, she won't even bother to care.
