Gu Zheng sneered. Did Lu Xiang and Fifth Uncle really think that they could not tell?
Qiao Xi also knew clearly in her heart that Lu Xiang had long discussed it with Fifth Uncle. That person must be on Lu Xiangâs side. Immediately after, Fifth Uncle said, âBut youâre about to enter the ancestral hall, yet you actually dreamed of Qingyun. If Qingyun is really unhappy, it wonât be a good thing for us. After all, Qingyun is the daughter the head of the family dotes on the most. She passed away at a young age. If she has any requests, we should do our best to satisfy them. If the head of the family is present, heâll definitely respect Qingyunâs wishes!â
Gu Zheng leaned lazily to the side, his figure tall. He was expressionless as he quietly listened to Fifth Uncleâs words, but his aura was strong, and he exuded a chill.
At this point, Fifth Uncle even pretended to be sad. âPresident Gu, you also know that itâs all thanks to Qingyun that the Lu family is where they are today. Even if this is just a dream, we canât go against Qingyunâs wishes. I hope you can understand us. Please leave first. If you have the chance in the future, come and pay your respects again.â
The live-stream fell silent, and the scene was terrifyingly quiet. The rest of the Lu family also widened their eyes. Although Gu Zheng grew up by Huang Lilanâs side, he was Lu Qingyunâs biological son! Now that Lu Qingyun appeared in Lu Xiangâs dream to forbid Gu Zheng from participating in the ancestral worship ceremony, what exactly was going on?!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone looked at Gu Zheng, waiting for his response. After a long silence, he said calmly, âAlright.â
???
Gu Zheng actually agreed?
If he agreed, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was hated by Lu Qingyun. How could someone who was hated by his biological mother be qualified to be the heir of the Lu family? Wasnât he giving the opportunity to Lu Yan?
Amidst the silence, Qiao Xi said slowly, âAh Zheng is kind and doesnât want to make things difficult for everyone. Moreover, as Madam Lu Qingyunâs son, he should fulfill his motherâs wish. Itâs normal for Madam Lu to hate Huang Lilan! Ah Zheng understands!â
Everyone was dumbfounded. They did not expect President Gu and Mrs. Gu to really agree. Lu Xiang, who was at the side, was extremely excited and hurriedly said, âAlright! Since youâve agreed, pleaseâ¦â
âHowever, Ah Zheng is just Huang Lilanâs adopted son. Moreover, he was snatched away by Huang Lilan when he was born. At that time, he didnât know anything at all and was forced to become an illegitimate child. Eldest Miss Lu was such a kind and tolerant person. Sheâll definitely understand Ah Zheng. Why would she chase Ah Zheng away? Hence, I think there must be someone else she doesnât want to see!â
As soon as Qiao Xi finished speaking, her gaze swept past everyone as she said casually, âIf Ah Zheng, who was forced to become Huang Lilanâs son, canât participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, then Huang Lilanâs biological son surely isnât worthy, right?!â
Her words were light, but they caused ripples in everyoneâs hearts.
Huang Lilanâs biological son? Who was it? The only people who grew up by Huang Lilanâs side were Gu Zheng and Gu Yao. Now that it was confirmed that neither of them was Huang Lilanâs biological son, could it be that her biological son was someone else?
Lu Xiangâs face was pale as intense fear engulfed her heart. She shouted uncontrollably, âShut up! Youâre spouting nonsense!â
âSecond Miss Lu, donât be so agitated! Iâm just asking questions. Considering how you want to chase Ah Zheng away, then Huang Lilanâs biological son should also withdraw from the ceremony, right?â Qiao Xi questioned in a sharp voice.
The secret that Lu Xiang had hidden in the depths of her heart was about to be dug out. She was so afraid that her entire body was trembling as she pointed at Qiao Xi with trembling fingers.
âMrs. Gu, whoâs the son youâre talking about? Is he at the scene?â An elder from the Lu branch family could not help but ask, âThe Lu family wonât invite outsiders to the ancestral worship ceremony. The people attending the ancestral worship ceremony are all from the Lu family. Moreover, Huang Lilan doesnât have a biological son at all. Mrs. Gu, did you remember wrongly?â
If the son of a mistress could participate in the ancestral worship ceremony but Eldest Miss Luâs biological son had to be chased out, then the Lu family would be too muddle-headed. Hence, this elder could not help but stand up and ask.
The corners of Qiao Xiâs mouth curled up as her burning gaze landed on Lu Yan. She said meaningfully, âYoung Master Lu, who do you think Iâm talking about?â
Young Master Lu?
Everyone was dumbstruck. Could it be that the person Qiao Xi was talking about was Lu Yan?
After a long silence, someone asked tentatively, âMrs. Gu, y-youâre saying that Lu Yan is Huang Lilanâs biological son?â
Impossible! Lu Yan had grown up in the Lu family since he was young. If he was Huang Lilanâs son, why would he be left at the Lu familyâs door? Moreover, the Lu family had also done a DNA test back then and confirmed that Lu Yan was Lu Qingyunâs son.
