Even Song Shijing, who had been through a lot, could not help but be shocked. “But…”
Gu Zheng tapped his finger on the page of the document and said meaningfully, “The game I’ve set is about to end. This is probably the last bid.”
…
At the Gu family’s old residence.
Old Master Lu and Gu Weiming were drinking tea together while Lu Xiang was sitting at the side.
Old Master Lu’s expression darkened. “I heard that Gu Zheng raised the price to 15 billion today? If Lu Yan wants to get it…”
Bang!
Gu Weiming slammed the teacup down and roared, “I told him to give up a long time ago! How dare he disobey me?”
Lu Xiang said weakly, “Brother-in-law, Ah Zheng is young and has a bad temper. You can’t always scold him. Try to persuade him. If Ah Yan wants to return to the Gu family rightfully, he has to take this plot of land. Can you bear to see your child wandering outside?”
Old Master Lu’s expression was gloomy. “Yes! Lu Yan is the child of the Gu family and also Qingyun’s son. It’s only right for him to inherit the Gu family’s assets. Gu Zheng is just an illegitimate child. What right does he have to occupy the position of the head of the Gu family? Now, he dares to fork out 15 billion to make things difficult for Lu Yan. What about in the future? If Lu Yan returns to the Gu family, will he still be able to live a good life?”
Everyone knew what was going on. Gu Weiming also pretended to be a gentleman. “I’ve let Qingyun down. Of course, the Gu family will be handed to Lu Yan to manage.”
Lu Xiang sighed. “However, the Lu family’s company isn’t doing well now. 15 billion is too much for us. I’m afraid this plot of land…”
Jiang Feng, who was standing at the side, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
If Lu Yan was really Miss Qingyun’s biological son, it meant Gu Weiming still had a conscience. It meant he still remembered his first wife who died young. However, all of them knew Lu Yan and Gu Zheng’s true identities.
It was just that it would be really hard for Gu Zheng to uncover this secret.
Besides, Gu Zheng had to give this plot of land to Lu Yan. No matter what, this plot of land would ultimately belong to Lu Yan!
Although he did not understand President Gu’s intention, since President Gu had already spoken, he had to follow the plan. Hence, Jiang Feng went forward and said, “Chairman, Mr. Lu, I have an idea.”
Gu Weiming had always trusted Jiang Feng. After all, he was a veteran of the company. Without hesitation, he said, “Tell me.”
Jiang Feng cleared his throat. “Before this, we’ve looked for professionals to evaluate that plot of land. The scenery is pleasant, and there’s also a natural hot spring. Even if we get it at 15 billion yuan, it’ll be a profitable deal. More importantly…
“Not long later, you’ll officially announce that Young Master Lu Yan is your biological son. You’ll let Young Master Lu return to the Gu family rightfully and inherit the Gu family. If the young master doesn’t have any results before that, it won’t be convincing.
“Now, the entire company is filled with Gu Zheng’s people. If Young Master Lu Yan doesn’t have any achievements, why would those people be willing to follow him? At that time, it might cause a commotion in the company.
“If Young Master Lu Yan can win this plot of land and let the Lu and Gu families develop it into a tourist resort, he’ll have the capital to compete when he returns to the Gu family.”
Gu Weiming nodded thoughtfully. “Jiang Feng is right. This plot of land won’t only be a huge benefit to Lu Yan but also a ticket for him to return to the Gu family. So, no matter how much money we spend, we have to take this plot of land! Lilan and I still have three billion yuan. After all, we’re Ah Yan’s… Anyway, we won’t let Ah Yan lose to Gu Zheng!”
Old Master Lu nodded in satisfaction. “Weiming, I’ve always thought highly of you all these years. It’s just that you were a little unwilling to marry Qingyun back then. I didn’t like that daughter either, but the matter has already passed. The most important thing now is to let Lu Yan return to the Gu family. As for Gu Zheng… he has nothing to do with our Lu family.”
Gu Weiming nodded. “Yes, Father-in-law.”
Old Master Lu had already made his stand clear. The Lu family did not admit that Gu Zheng was from the Lu family at all. Lu Qingyun’s biological son could only be Lu Yan. There would be no one else.
Gu Zheng would always be an illegitimate child!
