Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Yan’s assistant said, “Sir, with your status and identity, how many women are taking the initiative to pursue you? Why are you pursuing a married woman? Moreover, Qiao Xi is the wife of an illegitimate child of the Gu family.”
The smile on Lu Yan’s face gradually vanished, and his eyes narrowed. “I want to steal Gu Zheng’s woman. I’ll snatch all his things.”
The assistant nodded and said, “That’s right. If you snatch her and toss her aside later, Gu Zheng will lose all his dignity!”
Lu Yan snorted. He had never thought of dumping Qiao Xi.
After all, an interesting woman like Qiao Xi was rare. He was very interested in her.
“To Qiao Corporation.” Lu Yan got into the car and smiled. “Since I’ve decided to pursue Miss Qiao, I have to express my gratitude.”
…
Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold as he said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Gu, you seem to be very familiar with Lu Yan?”
Qiao Xi straightened her back and patted her chest as she guaranteed. “We’re really not close. I only met him once at the Gu family.”
Gu Zheng nodded and the car suddenly accelerated. “You’re not allowed to see him in the future!”
Qiao Xi’s heart trembled as she quickly took out her phone to look up on Lu Yan.
The heir of the Lu family… Lu Qingyun’s nephew.
Lu Qingyun!
Wasn’t she the old chairman’s first wife?
After that, Mrs. Gu brought Gu Zheng to the Gu family and directly dominated the top position. Lu Qingyun was so angry that she died just like that. After that, the Lu family and the Gu family became enemies and never contacted each other again.
As an illegitimate child, Gu Zheng had always been hated by the Lu family.
Lu Yan had probably approached her only to go against Gu Zheng.
If Lu Yan could successfully snatch her away, Gu Zheng would become the laughing stock of everyone.
However… Gu Zheng was just a child back then. It was not his fault!
It was because of Gu Zheng that the old chairman agreed to let Mrs. Gu in. However, Mrs. Gu had never treated Gu Zheng like her son but like an enemy.
After Lu Qingyun married the old chairman, she did not do anything. Mrs. Gu’s mother rose to power because of her son. She should cherish Gu Zheng.
She had everything because of Gu Zheng, but she always abused him instead.
In Mrs. Gu’s eyes, Gu Zheng was just a tool to rise to power. He had to endure the pursuit and abuse of Mrs. Gu and the chairman, as well as constantly be on guard against the Lu family’s schemes. Everyone wanted to kill him.
However, he was clearly the most innocent person!
Qiao Xi’s eyes darkened as she felt bitter in her heart. “I won’t see him!”
Gu Zheng’s gloomy expression softened a little like an iceberg melting.
Since the Gu family felt guilty toward the Lu family, no matter how overboard Lu Yan’s actions were, everyone thought that it was reasonable and even asked Gu Zheng to swallow his anger.
The Lu and Gu families could not wait to kill him!
Now that Lu Yan wanted to snatch Qiao Xi away, it would depend on whether he had the ability.
Qiao Xi’s expression was serious as she sent Qin An a message: [Third Brother, send me information about the Lu family.]
…
At Qiao Corporation.
In the meeting room, everyone’s expression was gloomy.
“President Qiao, the people from Gu Corporation said that if we don’t expel Miss Qiao Rou, they’ll revoke their investment immediately…”
A veteran of Qiao Corporation said earnestly, “Miss Qiao Rou, it’s really a waste of your talent for you to be in our company. If we offend the Gu family, our Qiao Corporation will face a calamity.”
Qiao Rou and Xu Mei sat together with extremely ugly expressions.
Qiao Zhenguo had long agreed to give Qiao Corporation’s shares to Qiao Rou and chase Qiao Xi out of the Qiao family.
However, after the news about Fan Wenyuan spread, someone proved that Qiao Rou was the instigator.
Qiao Rou was a celebrity with a lot of followers. The internet was instantly filled with criticisms. They said that she was jealous of her sister’s ability and wanted to malign her.
The veteran said again, “Qiao Rou has offended Gu Corporation, and Young Master Gu has already given us a chance by not destroying the Qiao family. If we don’t expel Qiao Rou, what will the Gu family do?”
Qiao Rou lowered her head and sobbed softly. “I really didn’t hurt my sister. I just wanted to help her. I don’t understand why she’s doing this to me. The entire Qiao family is being ruined by her!”
“This has nothing to do with my daughter! There are so many of you, but what are you all doing? You’re reaping the benefits from the Qiao family yet you’re helping that b*tch, Qiao Xi?”
Xu Mei immediately cursed. These people actually wanted to chase her daughter away.
“Gu Corporation won’t put pressure on us because of Qiao Xi. There must be another reason. Aren’t you guys just thinking of ways to chase my daughter away? Have you gone mad?”
The veteran’s expression darkened as he abruptly stood up.
“Xu Mei, Qiao Rou! Qiao Xi has 74% of the shares. There’s no chance of winning against her. You went out for wool but came home shorn. Qiao Rou even maligned Eldest Miss by accusing her of harming her. As Qiao Rou’s mother, you’re no good person either!”
The meeting room was silent.
Qiao Zhenguo’s face was livid.
