Chapter 1134: Gu Zheng Is A Jinx?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After entering Yun Court and settling down, Gu Zheng found a study in Yun Court to handle his work while Qiao Xi strolled around.
After a while, Ji Nan called. “Eldest Miss, are you in Yun Court?”
“Yes, who cleaned Yun Court?” Qiao Xi asked.
She knew that Gu Zheng had sent someone to clean Yun Court, but it was such a big project. It was definitely not something that could be done by just one or two people. However, it was unrealistic to send a group of people to swagger into the Lu family’s residence to clean Yun Court, so it was very likely that it was done by people Gu Zheng had planted in the Lu family.
Ji Nan hesitated for a moment before replying, “Yun Court has always been sealed off. Old Master had ordered that no one was allowed to enter. From the outside, it does look very desolate and dilapidated. Coupled with the fact that Miss Lu Qingyun has passed away, the Lu family finds the place to be unlucky and rarely approaches the villa. No one knows what it looks like inside.
“I heard that Lu Xiang wanted you to stay in Yun Court, so I wanted to send people over to clean the place up. I didn’t expect the interior of Yun Court to be clean and tidy. It doesn’t look like it has been abandoned for 20 years at all. It’s as if someone has been living there.”
Qiao Xi instantly understood. “I understand. You don’t have to come.”
It seemed that Gu Zheng had been sending people to clean this place all these years. Even though Lu Qingyun had already passed away, Gu Zheng still wanted this place to remain in its original state as if Lu Qingyun were still alive.
After hanging up, Qiao Xi walked out along the small path in Yun Court. Suddenly…
“That jinx! He caused the old master to fall unconscious. He’s a prick like Lu Qingyun!” A sharp and vicious female voice sounded. Qiao Xi did not seem to have heard this voice before. It was probably someone from the Lu branch family.
The jinx she was referring to was probably Gu Zheng, right?
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as she clenched her fists.
The voice was sharp and filled with anger and hatred. Even though she did not see this woman’s face, she knew that her eyes were filled with resentment.
“Lu Qingyun is a vixen! She’s a jinx. Her son isn’t a good person either. It’s only right that he stays in Yun Court, which has been abandoned for 20 years. Why don’t we reunite the mother and son as soon as possible?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a young man’s voice came from the side. “Mom, you said that Lu Qingyun is a jinx, but what about Brother Lu Yan?”
The woman chuckled. “Ah Yan is different from her! Ah Yan has a conscience. Ever since he took over, he promoted your father to the general manager of the branch company. When Lu Qingyun was still alive, she looked down on our family because we’re from the Lu branch family. She didn’t want to promote your father, so she let your father start from the bottom. She doesn’t have any kinship with us at all and is selfish. No wonder she died at a young age!”
Qiao Xi could not help but roll her eyes. Lu Yan was a good-for-nothing, so how powerful would the person he promoted be? Miss Lu Qingyun asked that person to start from the bottom because she felt that he was not capable enough to be in a high position. He was clearly the one who was useless, yet his wife still blamed Eldest Miss Lu for not caring about kinship!
Back then, when Eldest Miss Lu was in power, the Lu family could be said to be a top noble family in Li City. They were extremely glorious. Now that the family and corporation were in Lu Yan’s hands, they were struggling at death’s door. Didn’t this explain the problem?
However, the middle-aged woman was still indignant. “I only borrowed a sum of money from the corporation, yet Lu Qingyun kept urging me to return it. With such a big family business, that bit of money is nothing to them! I’m her sister-in-law, yet she actually fired me from the company and embarrassed me in public. Also, Gu Zheng…”
At the mention of Gu Zheng, the middle-aged woman seemed to be a little afraid. She lowered her voice and said, “So what if he has Gu Corporation now? He’ll still be despised by the Lu family. Who in the entire Lu family has ever taken him seriously? The child of a b*tch is not a good person either. Whoever is with him will be unlucky!”
Qiao Xi clenched her fists tightly. Why did she want to hit someone so badly?
She could tell that these two were the ones who were talking bad about Gu Zheng in the courtyard opposite just now. Gu Zheng pulled her into Yun Court just now, so she held back from beating them up. Now, they actually dared to gossip behind their backs again?
It seemed that they would not learn their lesson if she did not teach them a lesson!
The middle-aged woman complained, “The Lu family has so many businesses under their name but they’re not even willing to arrange a position for your father. They’re so petty with their own family. They deserve to die!”
The young man also chimed in, “That’s right! We shouldn’t let benefits go to outsiders! The Lu family’s business is so big. Instead of hiring an outsider to be the general manager, they might as well let a family member be the general manager. We’ll definitely side with the Lu family. How can others be as attentive as us?”
