Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 81 is utterly shameless!
Nan Xugang and Sang Tingwan returned to the hotel after having dinner.

This afternoon, Sang Tingwan didn't have any scenes to film, so the two of them borrowed Zhang San's car and went shopping at a mall in the city, where they bought Sang Tingwan a few more formal outfits.

Looking at the flashing "Uncle Shu" on her phone, Nan Xu was puzzled.

Her relationship with Shu Hechun wasn't good. She always hated men who cheated, but out of respect for Shu Youli, she still called Shu Hechun "Uncle Shu".

"Uncle Shu, is there something you need calling me about so late?" Nan Xu held her phone in one hand and kicked off her high heels while leaning against the wall with the other.

Barefoot, I walked towards the sofa in the living room.

Shu Hechun greeted her with concern, "It's alright. Why haven't you come over for dinner lately? Yuli's mother said she misses you and wants you to come over for dinner when you have time."

Nan Xu found it a bit strange. Although Shu Youli's mother was indeed a gentle aunt who would call to check on her if she didn't see her for a few days, Shu Hechun was not.

He can hardly be considered a virtuous husband and father.

I'm afraid I'm not being honest with myself when I say these things now.

"Oh, I see. I've been away on a business trip for the past few days. I'll visit you when I get home. Uncle, please don't find me a nuisance then," Nan Xu replied with a smile.

Since you're pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth, let's see who can pretend better.

The smile in Shu Hechun's eyes faded slightly, and the two then chatted about other topics.

Having laid the groundwork sufficiently, Shu Hechun began to gradually and slowly reveal his purpose.

"Uncle, I heard that you and Lu Zhiyan, the current president of the Lu Group, are in a romantic relationship?"

Nan Xu was admiring the manicure she had just done that afternoon when she was taken aback by what she heard.

Although she and Lu Zhiyan did not make their relationship public, Shu Youli's mother, Zhang Run, had a very good relationship with Lin Jingshu.

It was probably Zhang Run who told Shu Hechun.

But why is Lu Zhiyan being dragged into this?
"Yes, why is Uncle asking this?" Nan Xu's eyes darkened, and her voice unconsciously turned cold.

Hearing the change in Nan Xu's voice, Shu Hechun quickly explained, "Nan Xu, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Well, there's a small favor I'd like to ask you for." Shu Hechun lowered his stance, his voice carrying a hint of flattery.

Ask her for help?

The Lu Group and the Shu Group have little to do with each other. If they do, it's that the Shu Group's new products are recently manufactured by factories under the Lu Group.

Not long ago, the warehouse of the Lu Group in Hualan District was burned down.

When these two things were combined, a very absurd thing came to Nanxu's mind.

The warehouse in Hualan District caught fire. Could it have been set on fire by someone from the Shu Group?

But... what reason would there be to do that?
The hype surrounding Shu's Group's new product was launched three months ago. If it can't be put on the shelves, Shu will be the one who suffers the biggest loss.

The product launch will be held in three days, and the product will be put on the market after the launch. If it was really someone from the Shu Group who set the fire, this is undoubtedly digging their own grave!

She couldn't believe that the Shu Group would have such stupid executives and employees.

"Uncle Shu, I don't understand what you mean. We're all family, so please just say what you have to say." Nan Xu picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water.

After all, with all the twists and turns, she'd think the employees of the Shu Group were a bunch of incompetent fools. Of course, Shu Youli wasn't included. Although her previous refusal had embarrassed him, their friendship of over ten years meant she could pretend it never happened.

Both she and Shu Youli consciously believed this.

Little did she know, only Nan Xu herself thought so.

Shu Hechun found it difficult to bring himself to say it, as it would only make his three stupid sons seem even more stupid.

Taking a deep breath, Shu Hechun finally spoke with embarrassment, "You must have seen about the fire at the Hualan District warehouse of the Lu Group, right? It was done by a few of my incompetent employees. Could you perhaps ask Lu Zhiyan to... just let it go?"

Is this the end of the story?
Such a big thing, do you think you can just turn the page so easily?

Not to mention the loss of a night they spent together, the Lu Group also lost its largest production workshop and warehouse in Beijing.

There was so much inventory and goods left in the warehouse; the losses were devastating!
You think you can just turn the page with a few words? That's wishful thinking!
Nan Xu feigned difficulty, saying, "Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the losses to the Lu family this time are too great. Although I am Lu Zhiyan's girlfriend now, what right do I have to say this?"

"Leaving aside the fact that I haven't been with Lu Zhiyan for long, I haven't interfered in the affairs of the Lu Group while I was unmarried."

"Besides, they are just a few insignificant employees. If it really wasn't your instruction, Uncle, this matter wouldn't bother you at all; you can just go in."

The last sentence was undoubtedly a stab in the heart for Shu Hechun.

If it really was just a few employees, given Shu Hechun's style of doing things, she would have already severed ties, so why would she have kept him around, making him come to her personally to beg for mercy?

The real danger lies in the fact that it's not an employee, but one's trusted confidants or those illegitimate children!
Shu Hechun was speechless. If it really was just a few employees, why would he have to lower himself to come to Nan Xu?
He didn't want to tear off the veil of pretense, so he said he was an employee. Now, judging from Nan Xu's attitude, if he doesn't tell the truth, she probably won't help him.

Which is more important, saving face or having a son?

Obviously, the son is more important.

Shu Hechun gritted his teeth and then said, "Nanxu, it's your uncle who's mistaken. It's...it's my son."

Nan Xu didn't believe Shu Youli would be so stupid. She smiled and said, "Uncle, please don't try to fool me. How could Youli do such a despicable thing?"

If Shu Youli couldn't do it, then it was one of his other sons.

Isn't this blatantly telling Shu Hechun that, apart from his son Shu Youli, all his other sons are filthy and only know how to use despicable methods?
Although Shu Hechun knew that Nan Xu's mistake was unintentional, his face still turned red and white.

"Nanxu, to tell you the truth, it's my good-for-nothing illegitimate children. Please help me out, considering how good your Aunt Zhang has always been to you." Shu Youli finally brought up Zhang Run.

Nan Xu really didn't know how Shu Hechun had the nerve to mention Zhang Run's name.

He's an extramarital affair child, a son born out of wedlock, not Zhang Run's son. How dare he mention Zhang Run?

Nan Xu frowned, her face darkened, and her eyes blazed with anger. "Uncle Shu, how dare you mention Aunt Zhang Run? He's an extramarital affair man, not her son, yet you want me to give Aunt Zhang Run face to settle this matter for you."

“Uncle, you can’t be so shameless! Aunt Zhang Run isn’t holding it against you, so I have no reason to hold it against you either. But I won’t tell Lu Zhiyan about this. You’d better watch yourself.”

With that, Nan Xu hung up the phone.

Nan Xu's face was ashen with anger, clearly she was furious. She picked up the water glass on the table and gulped down a large mouthful of water.

How shameless! How could you say such disgusting things!

They are utterly shameless!
