Chapter 385: The Gu Family’s Birthday Banquet
On the other side, Gu Weiming returned to his room angrily. Huang Lilan hurriedly went forward. “Weiming, what should we do?! So many people are saying that Ah Yan is inferior to Ah Zheng…”
“What’s there to say?! As long as Ah Yan can win, nothing else matters!”
Gu Weiming’s eyes turned gentle. “Lan Lan, it’s been hard on you. Don’t worry, I’ll officially announce Ah Yan’s identity soon. At that time, you won’t have to bear that bad reputation anymore.”
Huang Lilan nodded excitedly. “Weiming, I’m not aggrieved. As long as I can be with you, I’m willing to pay any price. Moreover, Lu Qingyun was too boring. It’s normal that you didn’t like her. It’s only right that we’re together!”
“For the sake of the Lu family, you didn’t chase her out of the house and even got scolded by a scumbag. However, when Ah Yan comes back, no one will scold you anymore. It’s just that…”
Huang Lilan’s face darkened. “It’s just that Ah Zheng is so confident. Does he have any evidence? If he can prove that he’s Lu Qingyun’s…”
Gu Weiming frowned, and his heart could not help but tremble. However, this uneasiness quickly dissipated.
“So what if he has evidence? Can he beat our two families alone?
“Besides, the ‘evidence’ he found might all be fake. Even if he took it out, it would have no authenticity. He has power and influence. If he wants to forge evidence, it’s just a matter of giving out the order. Who will believe him?”
Gu Weiming looked proud. “The Lu family will prove that Lu Yan is Lu Qingyun’s son. The Lu family won’t even admit Gu Zheng’s identity. So what if he has evidence?”
Huang Lilan pretended to be sad. “Actually, I don’t want to treat Ah Zheng like this either. After all, I’m his mother in name. It was the Lu family who’s unwilling to acknowledge his identity. You can’t blame me for this.”
“Don’t think too much. Gu Zheng is a lunatic! He’s as crazy as his mother. Anyway, we have Ah Yan and Ah Yao. After we snatch the family’s assets back, we’ll chase Gu Zheng out of the house!”
Huang Lilan nodded and revealed a sinister smile.
Why did the Lu family despise Lu Qingyun so much? It was because she was crazy and blind!
How could noble families tolerate lunatics in their families? If news of it got out, outsiders would think that the entire family carried such genes. It would ruin the entire family’s reputation.
Actually, Gu Weiming used to like Gu Zheng a lot. After all, he was his eldest son. However, he gradually realized that Gu Zheng and Lu Qingyun had the same strange illness. It was then he started to hate this child.
Hence, the Lu and Gu families were unwilling to expose this secret lest it affected their families. As for the reason behind Lu Qingyun’s death, no one cared.
…
Two days later.
It was Chairman Gu’s 55th birthday. The big shots in the business world all came to congratulate him.
In the evening, all the guests had arrived.
The Gu family’s old residence was very spacious and had many servants. Every table was served by servants and there were even people guiding the guests. The entire courtyard was very lively.
Many people did not know about the farce from a few days ago, nor did they know that the Lu and Gu families were close.
Hence, when everyone saw the Lu family appear in the Gu family, they were dumbfounded.
“Am I seeing things? Did I really see Lu Xiang just now?”
“Old Master Lu is here too? This… What’s going on between the Lu and Gu families?”
“It can’t be, right? Back then, Eldest Miss Lu died in the Gu family for no reason. Didn’t the Lu family say that they had nothing to do with the Gu family? Moreover, Lu Xiang said that Eldest Miss Gu committed suicide. It was Madam Gu who became the mistress and went out with Chairman Gu every day. That was why Eldest Miss Lu committed suicide.”
Someone reminded, saying, “Shh! Don’t spout nonsense. Be careful not to let Chairman Gu hear you.”
The person retorted, “Did I say anything wrong? Eldest Miss Lu’s body was weak, so Madam Gu stayed in the Gu residence openly. That’s why she got depressed and committed suicide not long after”.
“It’s also because of this that the Lu family and the Gu family cut off all ties. Old Master Lu doesn’t allow Chairman Gu to go to the Lu family, nor does he allow Gu Weiming to pay his respects to Eldest Miss Lu.”
“Old Master Lu would rather not do business with the Gu family than let Chairman Gu pay his respects. The Lu family is really loyal..”
