Qiao Xi whimpered. The spiciness in her mouth was still spreading. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, âI was just about to leave when Young Master Lu said that he had something to tell me. He said it was about Chairman Lu, but why is he talking to me about this? Why didnât he look for Gu Zheng?â
Everyone looked at Lu Yan suspiciously.
Qiao Xiâs voice was soft as she said with a trace of crying, âActually, I know why. Iâm too weak, so Young Master Lu came to look for trouble with me.â
Everyoneâs eyes were filled with disdain.
The gentle uncleâs face could not help but darken as he said unhappily, âYoung Master Lu, if you have anything to say, you can look for President Gu directly or say it in front of everyone. Mrs. Gu is still young, so she canât handle some things herself.â
Lu Yanâs heart was dead. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said, âItâs fine. Since you donât want to talk to me, I have nothing to say.â
Qiao Xi widened her eyes and pretended to be surprised. âYoung Master Lu, you made things difficult for me and I even kicked you, but it turns out that you actually have nothing to say. Then please leave quickly.â
Originally, Qiao Xi thought that Lu Yan wanted to talk to her about Old Master Luâs illness. After all, she had drugged Old Master Lu, but Lu Yan did not seem to have noticed that something was wrong!
Lu Yan had lost his reputation twice in a day and could not retort. He could only smile and say helplessly, âIâm sorry to have disturbed your rest, Mrs. Gu. Weâll be leaving first.â
âWait.â Suddenly, a cold male voice sounded.
Gu Zheng held a pot of tea in his hand, his eyes as cold as sharp swords. His sharp gaze landed on Lu Yan. âIâm very interested in what Young Master Lu wanted to say. Tell me.â
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and could not help but gasp. Everyone could sense a chill surrounding Gu Zheng. The surroundings instantly fell silent as if the air had frozen.
Lu Yanâs expression was slightly stiff. He originally wanted to use the old masterâs illness to pressure Gu Zheng. At this moment, Gu Zheng should be surrounded by public opinion. However, after Qiao Xi disrupted the situation, the situation changed. The situation was extremely disadvantageous to the Lu family.
The corners of Gu Zhengâs mouth curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all. His deep eyes were filled with disdain as if looking at Lu Yan again would dirty him. He said impatiently, âYoung Master Lu, if you donât want to say it, then forget it. Please leave my wifeâs sight immediately and donât disturb her anymore.â
Lu Yanâs face was livid. Actually, his grandfather was really sick. The Lu familyâs doctor said that he would wake up soon. Originally, Lu Corporation planned to force Gu Zheng to give up the 5% of shares and then find a suitable time to announce that his grandfather had woken up. However, after Qiao Xiâs commotion, if they rashly announced that his grandfather had woken up, everyone would believe the rumor of Old Master Lu pretending to be sick.
Lu Yan knew that he could not discuss this matter in public, or it would attract more suspicion.
However, at this moment, Lu Xiang was already overwhelmed by anger. Coupled with Gu Zhengâs disdainful look that was as if the Lu family was nothing in his eyes, she was instantly angry.
Gu Zheng also had the Lu familyâs blood flowing in his veins. What right did he have to look down on the Lu family?
Lu Qingyun, that b*tch, was already dead. Why did she still leave her son in this world? This bastard was even looking at them like that! The Lu family was a century-old family that he could not reach. What right did he have to not take the Lu family seriously?
Anger accumulated layer by layer. Lu Xiang instantly lost her mind. She pointed at Gu Zheng and roared, âMy father has been unconscious for so many days, but you, his unfilial son, havenât even visited him. Ah Yan is here to look for you because he wants you to go home with him. But you actually want to chase Ah Yan away. You bastard, youâre too heartless!â
Lu Yan frowned and wanted to stop her, but Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully. âSo what Young Master Lu wants to say is that Chairman Lu fell sick.â
Lu Xiang glared at him fiercely. âWhat else could it be? Your grandfather has been sick for so many days, yet youâre not worried at all. Do you still have a conscience?â
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiang suddenly sensed strange gazes from the surroundings. She noticed Gu Yaoâs gaze first. The people behind him also looked at her as if they were looking at a fool. At a time like this, she still had the cheek to threaten President Gu with Chairman Luâs illness.
Earlier, President Gu and Mrs. Gu had already made themselves clear outside the meeting room. Everyone knew that the Lu family would do anything for the 5% shares. Was Chairman Lu really sick? Or was he just forcing President Gu to give up the shares?
