Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Qiao Xi thought about this, she felt her nose turning sore. She was unable to swallow even the most delicious food.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps, and a man outside snorted. “Hey! The Gu family’s illegitimate son is here for a meal too?”
Qiao Xi’s face sank.
The few of them laughed. “Gu Zheng, you’re an illegitimate child. Are you worthy to eat in the same restaurant as us? Your dad doesn’t even have the dignity to come, yet you have the nerve to show your face here?”
Gu Zheng was composed.
Seeing that he was silent, those people kicked the door open.
“Are you deaf?! I’m talking to you! Gu family head, what bullsh*t? You’re nothing!”
The Lu family members walked in one after another, staring at him with disdain.
Qiao Xi swept her gaze over coldly. There was only a middle-aged woman among these people, and the rest were all young men. There was also a familiar face—Lu Yan.
The person who shouted was a junior from the Lu family. He was extremely arrogant. “You can’t accept it? Tsk, remember this. Your Gu family owes our Lu family a life. So what if I scold you? You even deserve to be hit!
“The eldest daughter of the Lu family died in the Gu family because of you, an illegitimate son, and your mother!”
Qiao Xi really wanted to sew this person’s mouth shut.
However, Gu Zheng’s expression remained calm as he picked up his chopsticks and ate elegantly.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not take him seriously at all, the man’s face flushed with anger. “Gu Zheng, I’m talking to you! Say something!”
He was seething with anger as he glared fiercely at Gu Zheng. Only then did he realize that Qiao Xi was sitting opposite him.
“Ha! Where did this woman come from? I thought you didn’t like women? Looks like the rumors are fake. As expected of an illegitimate child, you’re so casual when it comes to finding women…”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a cup flew past his ear and smashed into the wall, almost shattering into powder.
One could hear a pin drop.
Gu Zheng took another cup and said slowly, “If you want to die, I don’t mind sending you to death’s door.”
“You…” The man was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stammered, “Y-You’re crazy. You want to kill me? How can an illegitimate son be so arrogant?
“Keep bragging! Do you dare to touch me? I’ll teach you a lesson today and let you know what it means to be respected! It’s a good chance to take revenge for Aunt Qingyun!”
After he finished speaking, he raised his fist and attacked Gu Zheng. Qiao Xi kicked the chair, causing it to slam into his leg. He grimaced in pain.
Qiao Xi’s gaze was cold as she scanned the Lu family’s faces. “You want to avenge Madam Lu?”
“Indeed! We want revenge…”
“Oh?” Qiao Xi smiled lightly and looked at the man with contempt.
“I heard that the person who was supposed to marry Chairman Gu was the second miss of the Lu family. However, the second miss of the Lu family insisted on not marrying him, so she was replaced by the first miss. The Lu family knew that the Gu family was dangerous, but they still married off the first miss.”
The Lu family gasped.
The middle-aged woman in the crowd turned pale, looking extremely awkward.
Qiao Xi continued, “The eldest miss was married off for the sake of the second young miss, but when she was bullied in the Gu family, why didn’t the second young miss stand up for her sister and bring her back from the Gu family?
“When Chairman Gu cheated on her, did the second young miss ask for an explanation on behalf of the eldest miss? If the second young miss had been willing to help, would Madam Gu have suffered so much?
“When she was still alive, none of you said a word when you saw her being bullied. You pretended not to see it. Now that she’s gone, you’re all talking about revenge!
“The Lu family is really two-faced when it comes to doing things. Your Lu family’s wealth and status were all attained by your eldest miss. Will you really still be so shameless?”
Qiao Xi cursed, then her gaze landed on the middle-aged woman. “What do you think, Second Miss Lu? Or should I call you Madam Jiang?”
The woman was livid.
At first, Qiao Xi was curious why there was only one elder in this group of juniors. It didn’t look like a family banquet. Later on, this group of people came to find trouble with Gu Zheng and used the excuse of ‘taking revenge for Lu Qingyun’. That was when she suddenly understood.
This woman was Lu Qingyun’s sister, Lu Xiang.
Initially, she was supposed to marry Chairman Gu, and Lu Qingyun was supposed to marry into the Jiang family. However, because Lu Xiang was unwilling, the sisters swapped places and their fates changed..
