When the eldest young master of the Lin family ascended to the throne, Lin Jie and Madam Lin, the illegitimate child and mistress, would be chased out of the house sooner or later.
Lin Jie stood in the same spot with his mouth wide open in shock. Then, his body went weak as he lay on the floor. âGu Zheng! Iâm your good friend! I just saw Mengqing being bullied and said a few words. Are you⦠going to take down everyone involved?â
Qiao Xiâs face was filled with ridicule. âYoung Master Lin, I was wondering why you wanted Yao Mengqing to interfere in my marriage with Gu Zheng. It turns out that your mother is a mistress!
âYou want to prove to the world that itâs okay being a mistress? No matter who the other party is, anyone can snatch the person they like? We donât have to care about being polite and ethical?â
Gu Yao also snorted. âLin Jie, youâve helped Yao Mengqing so many times, but youâve always caused the Lin familyâs business to suffer. Youâre willing to sacrifice your family for a woman who doesnât love you. If Uncle Lin doesnât chase you out of the house, wonât the Lin family be ruined in your hands?!â
Lin Jie gritted his teeth. Gu Yao, this good-for-nothing, still had the cheek to scold him? Everyone in Li City knew that Gu Yao was a prodigal!
Before he could retort, everyone could not help but mock him.
âMiss Yao is scheming. She pretended to be innocent but in reality, she just wanted Lin Jie to stand up for her. After the matter is exposed, she wants Lin Jie to take the blame for her. If this continues, the Lin family will be completely destroyed!â
âThis Lin Jie is really brainless. For a scheming b*tch, he almost lost the entire Lin family. He even implicated his mother and exposed the ugly fact that sheâs a mistress!â
âMadam Lin, you canât blame anyone else now. This is all your sonâs fault. If the Lin familyâs business is affected in the future, itâs all your sonâs fault!â
Madam Lin widened her eyes and roared fiercely. Then, she rushed in front of Yao Mengqing and slapped her with all her might.
âB*tch! Youâre the one who harmed my son! You jinx!â
âEveryone knows that you like President Gu, but youâre still hounding our Ah Jie. You say that youâre friends, but youâre actually seducing him behind his back. Otherwise, why would Ah Jie be so loyal to you? Youâre just a b*tch. How can you be worthy of marrying President Gu!â
Madam Linâs slap was too vicious. It made Yao Mengqingâs ears ring as blood seeped out of the corners of her mouth.
Lin Jieâs heart was dead, and his eyes were empty. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth since he was young and had never suffered at all. Now that he was chased out of the house, his life in the future would be difficult.
He was just standing up for Yao Mengqing. How did he ruin his chance to get his familyâs inheritance?
At this moment, Gu Zheng slowly raised his eyes and glanced at the Yao family coldly.
Yao Mengqing covered her red and swollen face, trembling in fear. Gu Zheng curled his lips. âThe Lin familyâs fool has been dealt with. Itâs your turn now.â
As soon as he said this, Mr. Yaoâs body instantly went soft. He knelt on the floor in horror. âPresident Gu⦠President Guâ¦â
Suddenly, the Yao familyâs phones rang at the same time. Almost instantly, the Yao familyâs companies were forcefully bought over. The assets under the Yao familyâs name were all frozen. Some businesses were also sold at low prices.
The famous noble families in Li City were vanishing one by one in an instant.
In the end, the Yao familyâs villa was also forcefully taken. It could be said that the Yao family no longer had any liquid assets under their name. All that was left were some jewelry and cash.
âPresident Gu! Please let the Yao family off! Mengqing is your good friend, after all. Moreover, Mrs. Gu is standing here perfectly fine. She didnât-â
Gu Zheng glanced at him coldly, scaring Mr. Yao so much that he choked.
âAh Zheng, forget it.â Gu Weiming frowned unhappily. This was the engagement banquet between the Gu and Yao families. Now that things had turned out like this, he had to stand up and uphold justice.
Now that the evidence of Yao Mengqing hiring someone to kill Qiao Xi was conclusive, the Yao family did not need to hide it. They might as well just admit it and beg Gu Zheng for forgiveness.
âQiao Xi, youâve suffered a lot, but the Yao and Gu families are old friends, after all. As long as youâre willing to forgive the Yao family, Iâll definitely make it up to you.â
Gu Weiming had his hands behind his back and put on the attitude of an elder. He seemed to be discussing with Qiao Xi, but he was actually ordering her around.
