Looking at Gu Zheng’s gaze, Gu Weiming’s back broke out in a cold sweat. He was actually afraid!
Impossible!
How could Gu Zheng know about this?
However, it did not matter. Even if he knew, there was no evidence to prove his identity. He could only watch helplessly as Lu Yan became the head of the Gu family.
Now that the entire Li City knew that he was the illegitimate child, as long as the Gu family and the Lu family were on the same page, they would naturally be able to keep it a secret.
The Lu family did not care about Lu Qingyun’s life or death, nor did they care who Lu Qingyun’s child was. No one would believe what Gu Zheng said.
Gu Weiming cleared his throat and calmed down. “Listen to me! You have to give that plot of land to Lu Yan!”
Gu Zheng’s face was filled with mockery as he slowly curled his lips. “Father, have you forgotten that I’m the head of the Gu family? If I give up the bid, the entire Gu family’s reputation will fall. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
“You can’t represent the Gu family, so why would you implicate the Gu family?”
Gu Weiming pretended to be dignified. “Moreover, you’re already the head of the Gu family. You don’t lack money, so it doesn’t matter if you give some to Lu Yan.”
Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. “What if I’m unwilling?”
“Bastard!” Gu Weiming was burning with anger. He raised the walking cane beside him and hit Gu Zheng hard.
“Do you dare to not agree? Gu Zheng, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re the person in charge! You’re just an illegitimate child. In terms of status, you’re not worthy to be the head of the family!”
Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he gritted his teeth. “I’m afraid I can’t let you have your wish.”
Gu Weiming was instantly infuriated when he heard that. Even though the Lu family was here, Gu Zheng was still so stubborn. He was so angry that he threw his walking cane on the floor and left in anger.
After Gu Weiming left, an elder of the Gu family, Jiang Feng, came forward and sighed helplessly. “President Gu, you know that the chairman has a bad temper, but you still insist on going against him. Why are you doing this for a plot of land?”
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes.
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Feng could only turn around and leave.
After he left, Gu Zheng slowly looked up. “Song Shijing.”
Looking at the wound on Gu Zheng’s back, Song Shijing’s heart ached. He knew that the president did it on purpose, but he did not expect the president to be so hard on himself.
Gu Zheng was calm. This pain was nothing to him. He had already experienced it when he was young.
He curled his lips. “It’s just eight billion, and it seems Lu Yan won’t be able to endure it anymore. In that case, let’s continue bidding. I really want to see him go crazy.”
Song Shijing nodded. He was about to leave when Gu Zheng called out to him.
“Come here, help me up.”
Song Shijing looked at the man in front of him in confusion. He was tall and upright. If he had not heard how badly the president was scolded just now, he would have suspected that the president was not beaten up at all.
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, “This old fellow is quite vicious!”
…
At this moment, Qiao Xi received a call from Song Shijing. “Madam, come over quickly! President was beaten up by the chairman. His old injuries are acting up again, and his back is bleeding!”
When Qiao Xi picked up the call, she casually pressed the speaker button. Immediately after, Song Shijing’s words echoed in the entire Gu family’s living room. Hence, everyone in the Gu family knew that Gu Zheng had been beaten up.
Qiao Xi was anxious. “How’s Ah Zheng? I’ll go over right now!”
Song Shijing said in a sad tone, “His back is bleeding. The president is very sad. The chairman is his father, after all. However, the chairman is forcing him to give up that plot of land for someone else. I really don’t understand what kind of spell the young master of the Lu family has cast on the chairman.”
Qiao Xi was also very cooperative. She hugged her phone and cried. “My husband! You’re so pitiful! Even your biological father doesn’t care about you! Everyone knows that Gu Corporation can venture into tourism and expand their territory if they get that land, but Chairman Gu insists on letting Lu Yan have it. If Gu Zheng really gives it to Lu Yan, how will he answer to the company?!”
Song Shijing: “…”
He admitted that he could not compare to Young Madam in terms of acting.. He almost believed her words.
