The corners of Lu Yanâs mouth curled up into a cold smile. âSince itâs the Lu familyâs door, the Lu family has the right to decide who can enter and who canât. At that time, if they come but are rejected, wonât it be even more embarrassing?â
Lu Xiang was enlightened and got extremely excited. âYes! Ah Yan, youâre so smart. The Lu family indeed wonât stop him from attending the ancestral worship ceremony, but an outsider like him wonât be able to enter the ancestral hall!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âGu Zheng kept saying that he didnât want to return to the Lu family, but Qiao Xi told everyone about Huang Lilan and almost let everyone know your identity. Sheâs clearly trying to harm you!
âThat bastard is coveting the position of heir of the Lu family. He wants to pull you down and snatch everything that belongs to you. Ah Yan, you canât give it to him. You have to hold on to it tightly!â
Hearing Lu Xiangâs words, the killing intent in Lu Yanâs eyes spread. He would never allow anyone to snatch his things.
In the eyes of the Lu family, Lu Yan had always been gentle like jade. Now that she saw him with vicious eyes, Lu Xiang could not help but be a little afraid.
Lu Yan glanced at Lu Xiang coldly. He hated Lu Xiang from the bottom of his heart. She was stupid and rash. She was easily blinded by anger and almost ruined the plan.
This stupid woman. Since she wanted to kill Lu Qingyun back then, she should kill that bastard, Gu Zheng, too. Then, no one would trip him up and snatch the position of heir from him.
Lu Yanâs eyes narrowed slightly. Since Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi were suspecting that Grandpa was pretending to be sick, then on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony, he wanted everyone to know that Grandpa was really sick and Gu Zheng was spreading rumors.
â¦
On the other hand, Gu Zheng had concluded his last meeting and left Huazhong Building with Qiao Xi.
âAre you really going to the Lu family to pay respects to your ancestors?â Qiao Xi asked casually, âLu Yan doesnât welcome you!â
Gu Zheng smiled. âHeâll welcome me.â
âWhy?â Qiao Xi asked.
âIf I go to attend the ancestral worship ceremony, heâll refuse to let me in. Heâll tell me that outsiders canât participate in the ancestral worship ceremony and itâs the rule of the Lu familyâs ancestors. Iâll end up losing my reputation there, so whoâll end up the happiest?â
Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. If that were the case, Lu Yan would definitely be the happiest. If Gu Zheng returned to the Lu family, it would definitely threaten Lu Yanâs interests. After all, Gu Zheng was Miss Lu Qingyunâs biological son, and Lu Yanâs identity was still suspicious. He could not produce strong evidence to prove his identity and say that he was Miss Lu Qingyunâs other son. Only the Lu family would believe such a thing.
âLu Yan pretended to agree to let you go, but heâll get Old Master Lu to appear and refuse to let you enter the ancestral hall by bringing up the rules of the Lu familyâs ancestors. In that case, the high and mighty president of Gu Corporation wouldâve returned to the Lu family to pay respects to his ancestors but got rejected. Itâll be big news.
âEven if the Lu family is wrong in this matter, your reputation and dignity will be ruined in the Lu familyâs hands if news of it gets out.â
Only then did Qiao Xi realize why Lu Yan agreed to let participate so readily. It turned out that he had such intentions!
âWhy does Lu Yan like to test my limits?â Qiao Xi clenched her fists. She suddenly felt that the kick she gave Lu Yan today was too light. She should have used a little more force.
Gu Zheng smiled dotingly. âMrs. Gu, youâre a lady. In the future, youâre not allowed to hit anyone in front of outsiders. Iâll handle everything.â
Qiao Xi immediately restrained her expression and looked at Gu Zheng shyly. âOh, youâre so annoying! I was just casually saying it. What can a weak woman like me do to Lu Yan?â
Gu Zheng stroked her hair gently, his eyes shrouded in coldness. âIf Lu Yan wants to deal with me, heâll definitely start with Old Master Lu. What do you think, Mrs. Gu?â
Qiao Xi cried out in surprise, then covered her mouth with a shocked expression. âAh! Lu Yan is really vicious! Even if Old Master Lu is fine, he wonât be anymore with Lu Yanâs methods. No matter what, heâs the grandfather who raised him since he was young! He wonât make the old master unconscious for a few more days, right? Heâs too heartless!â
After she finished speaking, she suddenly revealed a sly smile. âIf he wants the old master to be unconscious for a few more days, I can fulfill his request.â
Lu Yan had already fallen into the traps she and Gu Zheng laid out so many times. Why was he still so naive? He actually wanted to use Old Master Luâs illness to his advantage. Wasnât he afraid that Old Master Lu would really fall unconscious?
When the two of them arrived at Longwan Residential, Qiao Xi hurriedly went upstairs to call the people from the Medical Association. Unexpectedly, she had just walked halfway when Gu Zhengâs cold voice came from behind. âMrs. Gu.â
Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. She heard Gu Zheng say casually, âI have something to ask you.â
