Chapter 266: Chapter 264 Chu Yan: Although I am sowing discord, I am doing it for your own good

After work, Chu Yan drove to the Lu Family’s residence.

Seeing him, Xu Biqing did not show a pleasant face, "What are you here for?"

"Is uncle around?"

Chu Yan had long been accustomed to her attitude toward him and did not care.

Xu Biqing sneered, "He’s not in. If you need something, just call him. Knowing that our family doesn’t welcome you, why do you still come here? Are you eager to be disliked?"

Her two sons were still abroad and could not return to the country, so she did not want Chu Yan to always appear in front of Lu Tingming, which gave her a sense of crisis.

Even though the bastard boy acted obedient and generous, Xu Biqing still did not trust him to let go of the issues from the past.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t persuade Lu Tingming not to trust him.

Because there was an innate arrogance in Lu Tingming, he believed he could control Chu Yan. And he thought that Chu Yan, having no one else to rely on, could only depend on him as a father.

So no matter what he had done before, Chu Yan had no choice but to forgive him.

"If uncle is not around, telling aunt is the same thing."

Chu Yan smiled, showing respect and politeness.

"There’s no need to tell me your matters, I’m not interested!"

Xu Biqing did not want to communicate much with Chu Yan and rejected him before he even explained his purpose.

"But it’s related to your Xu Family, are you still not interested, Aunt?"

Xu Biqing paused, looking at him strangely.

"Xu Zhiwei confessed to me. Moreover, she said that as long as I divorce and be with her, she can help me do anything, even take revenge on you."

"Impossible! Weiwei is from our Xu Family, how can she possibly help you!"

Xu Biqing couldn’t believe her own niece would betray her to choose Chu Yan! She had spoken so clearly with her elder brother last time, and he had agreed to persuade Xu Zhiwei!

Chu Yan pulled out a voice recorder and played the words Xu Zhiwei had said.

"She is no aunt of mine!"

"As long as you are with me, I can help you, the Xu Family can help you.

Xu Biqing stole everything from your mother, don’t you want to get revenge on her? With my father’s help, you can easily overturn the Lu Family and make Xu Biqing pay the price!"

"You think I would believe that? Xu Biqing is your aunt from the Xu Family, your own flesh and blood."

"For you, I’m willing to disown that aunt. My dad listens to only me, if you became his son-in-law, how could he not help you?

Besides, my dad has said he really hopes you would become his son-in-law. My dad has only me as a daughter, and in the future, the Xu Family’s fortune can be inherited by you."

Xu Zhiwei’s voice came from the voice recorder, filled with resentment towards her aunt.

Xu Biqing’s face turned dark immediately, unbelievingly snatching over the voice recorder.

She pressed replay and listened several times, only then confirming it was Xu Zhiwei’s voice.

What does it mean, ’Dad really hopes you become his son-in-law’? Doesn’t the elder brother know what kind of enmity the Xu Family has with Chu Yan?

Not only did they not heed her advice, but they even sided with her enemy!

Xu Biqing was furious, almost wishing she could smash the voice recorder in her hand.

"Although there are conflicts between us, my mom has been dead so long, and any grudges should have been settled. Now all I have is an uncle to rely on, how dare I harbour other intentions?

I only love Qin Zhao in this lifetime, I would definitely not divorce her. So when Xu Zhiwei approached me, I decisively rejected her.

But after thinking it over, I felt the need to tell you.

You treat Xu Zhiwei so well, yet as her own aunt, she, for her own sake, dared to betray you and even instigated me to take revenge on you, which is truly disheartening."

Chu Yan wore a look of heartfelt pain, appearing genuinely sorry for Xu Biqing.

"Don’t give me that pretense here! You’re probably laughing at Weiwei in your heart, aren’t you? She must have been confused to say such things to you. Stay out of Xu Family’s affairs in the future!"

Xu Biqing had long harbored a deep resentment toward Xu Zhiwei.

But she knew Chu Yan was no good either, deliberately playing that recording to stir up trouble. No doubt he was thrilled!

"What right do I have to meddle in Xu Family’s affairs?"

Chu Yan smiled amicably, his eyes carrying a somewhat innocent look.

"If you don’t care, then there’s nothing more to say; I’ll be leaving now."

He turned and walked away, and soon after, Xu Biqing, out of anger, smashed most of the ornaments in the living room.

Knowing that Chu Yan was instigating discord, she still couldn’t help but feel infuriated by Xu Zhiwei’s behavior. She even directed her anger at her elder brother, scolding him for foolishly indulging his daughter!

If Chu Yan agreed, would they really join forces against her?!

Two hours later, the servants had cleaned up the mess in the living room.

Suddenly, Xu Biqing received a call from Xu Xingwen.

"Why can’t I reach Lu Tingming? I need to talk to him!"

Xu Xingwen sounded urgent as if something serious had happened.

"He’s in a meeting and won’t be taking calls. Big brother, just tell me what it is."

Xu Biqing scoffed internally, they only think of the Lu Family when there’s trouble?

"Our company has been inspected, and I don’t know who reported us. The authorities will be coming in a few days, ask Lu Tingming to speak to them."

The Xu Family had used many underhanded tactics to get to where they were.

Thus they could not withstand scrutiny; each time there was an investigation, they had to utilize some connections to smooth things over. After Lu Tingming emerged as a prominent figure, he became their family’s best connection.

"How could this happen now?"

Xu Biqing said slowly, "Our family has had its share of troubles recently too; Tingming even had to withdraw from the election. With so many eyes on us now, we can’t just fix things as usual.

What if it impacts Tingming further? Both our families could be ruined!"

"It’s just a matter of introducing people, what impact could it have?"

"Such actions, if discovered by others, can be blown out of proportion—it could have severe consequences."

"Xu Biqing! What do you mean? Won’t your own family help?"

"Big brother, it’s not that I won’t help, but there really is no way. Everyone in our family is walking on thin ice, and Zhiheng can’t even come back from abroad!"

Hearing this, Xu Xingwen could only hang up the phone in frustration.

This sister only has eyes for the Lu Family, no longer considering their own Xu Family! The old saying was true: a married daughter is like spilled water!

And when Xu Biqing heard him hang up, she too scoffed.

Just after Xu Zhiwei made such promises to Chu Yan, she was determined to teach this family a lesson! Without her and Lu Tingming, the Xu Family wouldn’t get far.

Xu Zhiwei had no idea that by confessing to Chu Yan, trying to pursue her love, she would ultimately sever the ties between the two families.

As a result, when the Xu Family was inspected, no one offered help.

The inspection indeed found issues, and the authorities ordered a rectification and a temporary suspension of business!

Fortunately, the Xu Family owned multiple businesses, so when one was suspended, the others could still operate. But they never anticipated that this was just the beginning, and their empire was about to collapse.

As for the report against the Xu Family, naturally, it was Chu Yan who made it.

At that moment, Chu Yan was in the suburbs with the children.

He had picked a venue for the wedding, finally deciding on a golf course for an outdoor ceremony, so today he took Qin Zhao to check it out, but Tengshe’s little baby joined them as well.
