Chapter 1169: Revitalizing Lu Corporation
At the scene, everyone from the Lu branch family also revealed looks of disdain and discussed in low voices. “Lu Yan is an illegitimate child! He’s not the flesh and blood of the Lu family at all. What right does he have to sit in the position of heir?!”
“Do you still remember that he competed with Gu Zheng for the release of the new perfumes previously? In the end, he lost a lot of money. Later on, because of the resort, the Lu family lost more than 10 billion yuan. I’ve always suspected that he wasn’t Miss Qingyun’s son. After all, when Miss Qingyun was in charge of the Lu family back then, she was a business wonder in Li City!”
Hearing everyone’s discussion, Lu Yan almost fainted.
Grand Old Master Lu’s voice was loud and clear. “I dragged my sick body here to expose Lu Yan’s identity in front of my ancestors! I want to tell everyone that the true heir of the Lu family is Gu Zheng!”
Lu Yan gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. His once gentle face also became ferocious and terrifying. He clenched his fists tightly and stopped him loudly. “Grand Old Master!”
He closed his eyes tightly and controlled the emotions in his heart. He took a few deep breaths before saying in a trembling voice, “This matter hasn’t spread yet. I’m still a member of the Lu family! The Lu family can’t withstand such a huge change now. Fortunately, everyone present is from the Lu family. We’ll pretend that nothing happened today and protect the Lu family’s reputation. I’m willing to give the position of heir to Gu Zheng. I only want the identity of the Lu family’s young master!”
Everyone was stunned.
Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Lu Yan is really shameless!”
Gu Zheng glanced at Ji Nan beside him and smiled meaningfully. “Xi Xi, do you think Lu Yan knows that his words and actions have already been broadcasted live?”
Qiao Xi’s heart trembled. Could it be that Gu Zheng had noticed the surrounding cameras?
She pretended to be calm and replied, “You’re saying that someone is doing a live broadcast at the scene? That’s great. If Lu Yan’s actions are being broadcasted, he won’t be able to make a comeback at all!”
Lu Yan revealed his true colors. “Grand Old Master! You’re also from the Lu family. You probably don’t want to see the Lu family go bankrupt either. If my identity is exposed, the Lu family’s reputation will be ruined and we’ll be mocked by everyone. It’ll be a huge blow to the Lu family!”
His gaze was vicious as he shouted at the Lu family, “Don’t forget that the Lu family’s shares are all under my name. I’m still the nominal heir of the Lu family. Keep what happened today to yourself. If anyone dares to say anything, I’ll expel you from the Lu family! Believe me, I can revive Lu Corporation and give you a more perfect life!”
At this moment, Lu Yan seemed to have been enlightened. So what if the grand old master had exposed his identity? He now had shares and was the second-largest shareholder of the Lu family. When Lu Bai woke up, Lu Bai would help him. If the two of them joined forces, it would be easy for them to suppress this matter. In order to rely on the Lu family, the people from the Lu branch family would definitely not dare to leak the news.
At the thought of this, Lu Yan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. His restless emotions gradually calmed down, and he smiled gently again. “Grand Old Master, if you don’t give me a way out, I can’t do anything about it! As long as you’re willing, I can immediately give up the position of heir. Gu Zheng and I are both the flesh and blood of the Lu family. From now on, I won’t snatch anything. I’ll even help Gu Zheng revive Lu Corporation. I’ve already made a concession. You won’t refuse, right?”
The entire venue was silent. The Lu family was dumbfounded. At this moment, they could not help but complain in their hearts. Lu Yan’s face was even thicker than the city walls!
He was Huang Lilan’s son and had nothing to do with the Lu family. However, now that he had the Lu family’s money, he claimed to be making concessions when he was clearly making stubborn demands while appearing to be very aggrieved.
If it were not for Huang Lilan, Eldest Miss Qingyun would not have died. If it were not for Lu Yan, Gu Zheng would not have been wandering outside, nor would he have been tortured by Huang Lilan. He would have returned to the Lu family a long time ago to manage Lu Corporation.
However, when they thought about it carefully, they felt that Lu Yan’s words were not unreasonable. If Lu Yan’s identity was not exposed, the Lu family’s reputation would be preserved and the losses would be minimal. As a branch family of the Lu family, they still had to rely on the Lu family to survive, so they naturally did not dare to casually say anything.
Could it be that they could only watch helplessly as Lu Yan continued to stay in the Lu family and enjoy his status as the young master of the Lu family?
Qiao Xi’s cold laugh broke the silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and Lu Yan’s body suddenly stiffened.
Lu Xiang was already nervous, so she was shocked by Qiao Xi’s sudden laughter. She broke down and shouted, “Qiao Xi! Is there something wrong with you?! Why are you laughing?!”
