Qiao Xi smiled. âAh Zheng, letâs go.â
Gu Zheng nodded slightly in response.
Gu Weiming gritted his teeth and glared at the two of them. They were supposed to announce Ah Yanâs identity today but the birthday banquet had been ruined by Gu Zheng. Now, these people were forcing him to divorce Lilan!
Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to reunite the family. However, now that Ah Yan could return to the Gu family, Lilan had to be sacrificed!
âGu Zheng! Stop right there!â Gu Weiming was furious.
Qiao Xi slowly turned around and sneered. âChairman Gu, if you have time, why donât you quickly settle your divorce procedures? Thereâs no point in taking your anger out on Ah Zheng.â
This sentence rendered Gu Weiming speechless.
The original plan was for the Gu and Lu families to work together and force Gu Zheng to admit that he had indirectly killed Lu Qingyun. Then, they would strip him off of his inheritance rights and assets. Now, however, the two families could not be as close anymore because of the incident with Lu
Qingyun.
If he had known earlier, he would not have kept this unfilial son with him!
Ten minutes later, Qiao Xi came out of the Gu familyâs old residence. Just as she walked out of the door, a man walked up to her. âMiss Qiao, can we talk?â
Lu Yan looked at her warmly.
Even though she had expected the answer, Qiao Xiâs heart still trembled.
Lu Yan smiled bitterly. âItâs all my fault. I didnât come to look for you in time, which resulted in you and Gu Zheng getting married. However, our engagement was a fact. I just want you to know who Iam.
âTm the fiance your grandfather chose for you. Even if you donât marry me, I wonât resent you or hurt you. We can still be friends.â
âThe air was silent for a moment before Qiao Xi sneered, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
âLu Yan, youâre ridiculous.â
Qiao Xiâs icy cold words rang out. âDonât think I canât tell what youâre trying to say. Youâre saying that youâre someone my grandfather trusts and that youâre the fiance my grandfather chose for me. Youâre accusing Gu Zheng of stealing your woman, yet youâre still pretending to be magnanimous. You really
are a *sshole!
âWhether youâre my fiance or not is still up for debate. Even though Grandpa isnât by my side, I still have my senior and teacher. Do you think Iâl fall for your lies so easily? You think highly of yourself, but donât treat others as fools. Iâm different from other women. I wonât believe your nonsense!â
The smile on Lu Yanâs face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were filled with ferocity.
His pale fingers gripped the jade pendant tightly as he said in a low voice, âMiss Qiao, you donât believe me anymore?â
Qiao Xi grunted coldly in her heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSince thatâs the case, I wonât force you. But Miss Qiao, remember this. Since Iâve accepted your grandfatherâs token, Iâll protect you according to his wishes. Whether you like me or not, Iâll fulfill my promise to him..â
