Chapter 1166: Overturning The Lu Family
Huang Lilan caused Lu Qingyun’s death, and Lu Yan had been occupying Gu Zheng’s identity all this while, yet he actually thought that he was innocent.
Lu Yan’s face was pale. He struggled to stand up and quickly thought about how to deal with the situation. However, before he could think of a way, he heard the grand old master sneer. His tone was filled with disdain. “Lu Yan, Lu Xiang, you actually have the cheek to say that you didn’t know anything?”
Everyone in the Lu family instantly pricked up their ears. What did the grand old master mean?
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng. His expression was calm, and his deep eyes were dark. His emotions could not be seen clearly. He stood there with a straight figure as if he did not care about anything.
Even though he saw Lu Xiang and Lu Yan fall to the floor in a sorry state, Gu Zheng’s expression did not change at all. He was even a little impatient.
Gu Zheng was indeed impatient. He had planned for a long time to see Lu Xiang and Lu Yan in a sorry state after the truth was exposed. However, now that this scene was happening in front of him, he was uninterested.
To him, the Lu family was nothing. He did not take them seriously at all. He did not understand why Lu Yan was so determined to hold onto his position as the Lu family’s heir either. From the beginning until the end, he had never thought of snatching the position of the Lu family’s heir. He just wanted to torture Lu Yan and make him feel uneasy all day.
Actually, it was easy for him to deal with Lu Yan and Lu Xiang, so when he saw the two of them fall at his feet, he did not feel a sense of accomplishment at all.
Gu Zheng lazily raised his eyes and met Qiao Xi’s watery eyes. Her eyes were filled with anger and disgust. She hated Lu Yan and Lu Xiang very much, and all of this was because of him.
Gu Zheng’s heart seemed to skip a beat. Someone cared about him so much and was indignant for him. The expression on his face became a little gentler. He bent down slightly and asked, “You invited the grand old master over?”
Qiao Xi nodded proudly as if she was waiting to be praised.
Gu Zheng paused for a moment and continued to ask, “The grand old master was unconscious for so many years. How did you wake him up?”
Qiao Xi replied truthfully, “I gave him the precious medicine that Grandpa left behind, but it’s worth it.”
She did not say what medicine it was, but Gu Zheng knew very well that the divine physician had already gone missing, so the medicine he left behind was naturally precious.
The old master had been unconscious for so many years, and he could not have been awakened with just a normal pill. Hence, the reason why Qiao Xi had been missing for the past few days must be because she had been giving the grand old master acupuncture sessions.
Everything she did was to get the grand old master to expose Lu Yan’s identity and expose the Lu family’s secret to the public.
Gu Zheng’s heart ached as he abruptly pulled Qiao Xi into his embrace and called out softly, “Xi Xi.”
Qiao Xi was shocked by his sudden hug in front of everyone. She blushed shyly and said sweetly, “Ah Zheng, stop fooling around.”
“Xi Xi, thank you.” Gu Zheng’s voice was surprisingly nasal. He hugged her tightly as if he wanted to melt her into his bones.
At this moment, Gu Yao, who was sitting in front of his computer, saw the two people hugging in the distance. Although they were very far away, he still recognized them at a glance. They were Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi.
There were so many people here! Why was he hugging her?! It was really immoral to show off their affection in public like this!
In the Lu family’s mansion, everyone came back to their senses from the shock. Grand Old Master Lu said again, “Don’t think that you can hide your crimes just because you claim to not have known anything! I’ve already said that I have evidence, yet you actually dare to quibble in front of me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Liang received Grand Old Master Lu’s gaze and played another video.
Lu Yan’s face was ferocious, while the Lu family members hurriedly stopped the grand old master loudly. “Grand Old Master! You can’t play it!”
No matter what, the grand old master was the previous head of the Lu family. How could he let the Lu family’s scandal be exposed like this? The Lu family wouldn’t have a place in high society anymore!
They had indeed long known Lu Yan’s and Gu Zheng’s identities. In the eyes of some people, this was no longer a secret. Fifth Uncle had long known about it. He also knew that Lu Bai was hiding this matter for the sake of the Lu family’s reputation.
The Lu family, a century-old family in Li City, raised the child of a mistress and even targeted Lu Qingyun’s biological son. If news of this got out, the Lu family would become the laughing stock of the entire Li City. The Lu family’s reputation would disappear overnight!
The Lu family thought that for the sake of the entire family, they could only sacrifice Gu Zheng and continue to keep this secret. It was just that they did not expect Lu Qingyun’s son to actually have the ability to overthrow the Lu family and make this secret public.
