Lu Yan hurriedly took out his phone and called his assistant with trembling hands.
After a moment, he hung up the phone. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, âIâll look for the corresponding person in charge and try⦠to minimize the losses.â
Old Master Luâs blood surged, and he almost fainted.
15 billion was gone just like that?
Everyone was surprised that Mr. Lu was so capable earlier. He could snatch this plot of land from President Gu and was about to take away President Guâs identity as the heir.
Unexpectedly, there was an ancient tomb underground.
President Gu was so lucky. He gave up on the bid, so he incurred no loss. However, Lu Yan was unlucky. Before he could even do anything to the land, he had already lost 13 billion yuan.
The Lu familyâs company was already in a precarious situation. Now, they had to bear a heavy loss. Moreover, Gu Weiming himself lost more than four billion yuan as well. This would cause quite a big impact.
All the senior executives of Gu Corporation had gloomy expressions. âYou have the cheek to say that this is Eldest Miss Luâs son? He wouldnât have been so rash. Since you wanted to bid for this plot of land, didnât you do a survey beforehand? You blindly followed and watched as others bid, so you wanted to join in as well. Great! Now, youâve implicated us!â
âChairman Gu, your son doesnât have any talent in business at all.â
Gu Weiming and Old Master Luâs faces were livid, while their eyes were filled with viciousness.
Just then, someone from the crowd said, âSay⦠why did President Gu suddenly give up on the bid?â
Everyone was stunned.
âCould it be that President Gu knew something so he gave up on the bid?â
âYes!â Everyone suddenly reacted.
âNo one can compete with President Gu for what he wants. He must have heard the news, so he gave up on that plot of land. Lu Yan thought highly of himself and thought that President Gu was afraid. Little did he know that he fell into a trap. How laughable!â
Lu Yanâs face was pale. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His gaze could kill.
âI donât think Lu Yan is Eldest Miss Luâs son at all. On the contrary, President Gu is the one whoâs extremely talented in business. Heâs more like Eldest Miss Luâs biological son. Actually, Iâve long suspected it. Do you think President Gu is Eldest Miss Luâs son?â
With that said, everyone fell silent.
Huang Lilan was instantly alarmed as she looked at Gu Weiming in horror.
Gu Weimingâs face darkened. He was about to flare up when he was stopped by Lu Yan.
At this moment, someone advised Gu Weiming nicely, âChairman Gu, the truth is right in front of us. Lu Yan made a mistake in his judgment and caused irreparable damage to the Gu and Lu families. He canât compare to President Guâ¦â
âI think we should be more careful about the decision regarding the heir. Chairman Gu, you should consider it carefully before making a decision!â
At this moment, Old Master Lu slammed the table. âWeiming! You canât do this. When the Gu family was in danger, it was the Lu family who took action. Thatâs how the Gu family got to enjoy their current status!â
âAh Yan is your legitimate child. He has already acknowledged his ancestors. Are you going to hand the Gu family to an illegitimate child?â
Everyone lowered their heads.
That was right. Back when the Gu family was in trouble, it was with Eldest Miss Luâs help that they survived.
Although President Gu did not rely on the Gu family to succeed, if he became the heir, Eldest Miss Luâs soul in heaven wouldnât be at peace.
Qiao Xiâs gaze was slightly cold.
Gu Zheng could clearly hear the ridicule in Qiao Xiâs heart.
âThe Lu family is really shameless! They clearly know that Lu Yan is the illegitimate child while Gu Zheng is Eldest Miss Luâs son, yet theyâre still using Eldest Miss Luâs kindness to suppress Gu Zheng!
âThe Lu family was ungrateful and caused Eldest Miss Luâs death. Now, they even want to deal with Eldest Miss Luâs biological son. They want Ah Zheng to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child. The Lu family is utterly heartless!â
Gu Zheng smirked as warmth flowed through his heart.
Actually, he did not care about what others thought of him. As long as she was on his side, he would have the world.
Gu Weiming pretended to be sad. âFather-in-law, itâs all my fault. Iâve let Qingyun down. I was careless back then, but this has nothing to do with Ah Zheng. He didnât kill Qingyun. He doesnât know anything about this!â
Everyone nodded affirmatively.
Everyone knew that Lu Qingyun committed suicide because of depression after being provoked by Huang Lilan.
At that time, Gu Zheng was still young and did not know who Lu Qingyun was. Hence, Eldest Miss Luâs death definitely had nothing to do with him.. This matter could only be blamed on Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan.
