Chapter 1160: Sowing Discord Between The Brothers
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi with slight displeasure. Although the Lu family’s actions were unreasonable, they could not casually slander Lu Yan just because Qiao Xi hated him!
Their gazes kept wandering between Lu Yan and Qiao Xi, and a trace of doubt arose in their hearts. To be honest, Lu Yan was indeed not similar to Miss Lu Qingyun at all.
Lu Yan’s vision was dark, but he could sense everyone’s sizing gazes. His heart was in turmoil. After suppressing his fluctuating emotions for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Qiao, watch your words.”
Lu Xiang’s eyes were filled with horror. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she shouted, “Qiao Xi! You’re taking revenge. Just because I’m not letting Gu Zheng participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, you want to slander Ah Yan. Ah Yan is already sick, yet you’re still bullying him. Why are you so heartless?!”
Fifth Uncle also stood up and berated, “Mrs. Gu, please apologize to Ah Yan. The children of our Lu family are definitely innocent. How could we raise the child of a mistress? Lu Yan has always been Qingyun’s child. He’s the direct descendant of the Lu family!”
Everyone’s doubtful gazes landed on Qiao Xi. It seemed that Qiao Xi could not stand Lu Xiang wanting to chase Gu Zheng away, so she slandered Lu Yan.
The comments in the live-stream exploded…
[No way! How could Lu Yan be Huang Lilan’s biological son? What nonsense is this woman talking about?!]
[This woman is always mysterious when she speaks. She can’t casually slander others just because her husband is being targeted! Young Master Lu Yan has always been so gentle. Such a gentle and elegant young master is definitely not the son of a mistress!]
[Why would President Gu marry such a woman? President Gu and Lu Yan are biological brothers. If it weren’t for this woman instigating things, the two of them wouldn’t have so many conflicts!]
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Lu Xiang’s expression softened. Then, she said indignantly, “Qiao Xi, please apologize to Ah Yan immediately. Don’t delay our ancestral worship ceremony!”
Lu Yan also heaved a sigh of relief and said in a serious tone, “Miss Qiao, you’re slandering me without any evidence. I can sue you. I hope you can apologize to me seriously!”
Lu Xiang’s heartbeat was chaotic, and her eyes were filled with panic. She was afraid that she would not be able to keep the Lu family’s secret that had been hidden for many years. Then, she shouted self-righteously, “Yes! Qiao Xi, you don’t have any evidence and only know how to spout nonsense. We’re letting you off easy by just asking you to apologize! Leave the Lu family immediately after you apologize!”
Qiao Xi remained silent and even smiled in disdain. Lu Xiang felt that she had been insulted and looked at Gu Zheng angrily. “President Gu, you clearly know that Ah Yan is your biological younger brother. The two of you are brothers from the same mother! How can you let Mrs. Gu sow discord between the two of you? Ever since he found out about your identity, Ah Yan has always felt sorry for you and wanted to do his best to make it up to you. However, your wife publicly slandered Ah Yan as the son of a mistress. You’re trying to harm him!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was normal as if he did not hear Lu Xiang’s complaint at all.
Qiao Xi turned her head slightly to look at the door behind her, and the corners of her mouth curled into a confident smile.
All these years, the Lu family had always been under Lu Bai’s control. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that the former head of the family was still alive! Lu Bai’s father, who was also Lu Qingyun’s grandfather, was only unconscious. He was not dead.
After Lu Qingyun’s biological mother committed suicide, Lu Bai married his mistress and brought back Lu Xiang, who was a few years younger than Lu Qingyun. Lu Qingyun then had to live under the same roof as the mistress and the illegitimate daughter. Lu Qingyun’s life was naturally very difficult, but fortunately, the grand old master doted on Lu Qingyun very much. He nurtured her management skills since she was young and handed the company to her to manage when she reached adulthood. Lu Qingyun did not let the grand old master down. Lu Corporation reached greater heights with her guidance, which was also the Lu family’s peak.
When Lu Bai saw that his daughter was like a fish in water in the business world, he was not happy at all. Instead, he felt that Lu Qingyun and her biological mother made him look very useless and stole his limelight. Hence, the more outstanding Lu Qingyun was, the more he hated her.
It was precisely because of this that Qiao Xi did her best to awaken the grand old master of the Lu family. As long as he appeared, coupled with the evidence in her hands, Lu Yan’s identity would definitely be exposed.
“Second Miss Lu, I was just asking Young Master Lu just now. The others are all very shocked, but you’re the only one who’s very flustered and angry. Why is that?” Qiao Xi looked at her with disdain.
Just as Lu Xiang was about to retort, Qiao Xi spoke first, “Everyone is right. Huang Lilan’s biological son is Lu Yan!”
