Then, she heard Qiao Xi continue, “Boya Yard is very good. Although it’s still not good enough for Gu Zheng, this is the most suitable place for him. The scenery is not bad and the courtyard is big enough. Gu Zheng is the head of the Gu family, so he should live in such a courtyard.” “No, that’s for Lu Yan…” “For Lu Yan?” Qiao Xi raised her brows. “Oh~ So Boya Yard is for Lu Yan! Madam Gu, you’re really benevolent. You chased your son to Maple Garden but you’re letting Lu Yan stay in Boya Yard. Everyone knows that you forced Eldest Miss Lu to her death, but you treat her son better than your own son. Lu Yan hasn’t even returned to the Gu family, yet you’ve already prepared a courtyard for him and arranged for your son to live in the remote Maple Garden instead! “Tsk tsk… | wonder what Madam Gu is thinking.”
Huang Lilan’s eyes were filled with panic as she frantically tried to defend herself. “It’s precisely because I’ve let Eldest Miss Lu down that I have to treat her son well. This can be considered as atoning for my sins!” “Is that so?” Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. “That’s right, let’s let Lu Yan stay in Boya Yard.”
She waved her hand, her eyes filled with coldness as her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Huang Lilan, then you should move out. You’re a mistress, yet you’re living in the Gu family’s second-largest courtyard, Jialin Courtyard. It seems a little inappropriate. Back then, you indirectly caused Eldest Miss Lu’s death. Since you want to atone for your sins, you should go to Maple Garden where you’ll follow a vegetarian diet and pray to Buddha every day.”
Qiao Xi then looked at Old Madam Gu. “Grandma, what do you think?”
Huang Lilan’s face turned ashen. “You… On what basis? If I’m a mistress, then… Gu Zheng is an… illegitimate child!” “Madam Gu, you’re still so stubborn.”
Qiao Xi looked at everyone and smiled meaningfully. “Don’t you understand why when you said that Gu Zheng is unfilial and that he’s an illegitimate child, none of the members of the Gu branch families stepped forward to speak up for you?”
Huang Lilan’s heart skipped a beat. Her expression was one of fear and disbelief. “Why… Why?”
Qiao Xi lowered her voice and said word by word, “Because everything in the Gu family… belongs to Gu Zheng!”
Everyone had to rely on Gu Zheng for their lives. “Now that Gu Zheng is the head of the Gu family, so what if he’s an illegitimate child? He controls the entire Gu family. Without him, there wouldn’t be the Gu family today. All the food and drinks you guys enjoy were all obtained by Gu Zheng! Madam Gu, can’t you understand this logic?”
Huang Lilan’s face instantly turned pale. Her legs went soft as she sat on the floor, her body trembling uncontrollably. There was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
So… the Gu branch families were all Gu Zheng’s people now?
From the moment she became Gu Zheng’s enemy, she had already lost. It was because she simply did not have the ability to fight him.
But… what should Ah Yan do now? How should he return to the Gu family?
Ah Yan was the future head of the Gu family. What right did Gu Zheng have to occupy his position? “Forget it. After all, Maple Garden was where Ah Zheng grew up. If Madam Gu stays there, the elegant courtyard will be tarnished. Since you like Lu Yan so much, why not stay in Boya Yard with Lu Yan?”
Qiao Xi said coldly, “Someone, help Madam Gu pack her luggage and bring her to Boya Yard.”
The butler immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, “Yes!”
Gu Weiming’s face was filled with hatred as he gritted his teeth. “Gu Zheng, you’ve really found a good wife!” “Thank you for your praise, Father!” Gu Zheng smiled. “Grandma, Xi Xi, let’s go.”
The members of the Gu branch families also left with the old madam. Gu Zheng was walking at the back.
Gu Weiming walked to Gu Zheng’s side and said in a low voice, “Gu Zheng, if it’s not for the old madam helping you, will you still be so arrogant? Don’t think that the Gu family is yours!”
Gu Zheng stopped in his tracks.
Gu Weiming said in disdain, “I’m your father and have lived 20 years longer than you. My position in the Gu family is not something you can replace. When the old madam falls into a coma again, I’ll still be the one in charge of the Gu family. Do you think I’ll let you off? Not only me but also the Lu family. Do you think you have the ability to go against us?”
Faced with Gu Weiming’s threat and mockery, Gu Zheng remained silent for a few seconds. Then, he sneered impatiently. “Father, do you really think so?”. 😉
