Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Qiao Xi spoke, the coldness in the entire study dissipated, and the pressure around them disappeared. Then, Song Shijing saw Gu Zheng, who had a vicious expression just now, looking up gently and smiling affectionately. “Xi Xi, is there anything else?”
Song Shijing: “!!!” Gu Zheng had become a different person from before!
Qiao Xi seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere in the study was not right. She blinked and asked, “Ah Zheng, you don’t look too good. What’s wrong?”
Song Shijing was instantly nervous. He had just entered to report his work and the president told him to get lost. Would he be angry with Young Madam now?
Gu Zheng’s tone was gentle. “No! I’m probably a little tired.”
On this day, Song Shijing finally knew what kind of person the president was. This person had two personalities!
Fortunately, he was different from Song Shiyu. No matter how shocked and dissatisfied he was, he would only complain in his heart. He would not show it on his face, and the president would certainly not notice his emotions. He was a mature man!
Qiao Xi’s sudden return was actually not for anything important. When she saw that Gu Zheng’s face was slightly pale, she reminded him with heartache, “It’s getting late. Sleep early. We still have to go to the Lu family’s place tomorrow.”
Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. He was gentle like a bright boy.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi returned to her room to rest.
Song Shijing wondered if he could get off work now that Young Madam had asked the president to rest. Just as he said excitedly, “President, you should rest. I’ll…”
“What’s the meaning of this? As your boss, I haven’t gotten off work yet, yet you’re thinking of slacking off?” The gentleness in Gu Zheng’s eyes instantly vanished.
Song Shijing’s heart sank. This man was so gentle in front of Young Madam. But when Young Madam was not around, he was like a demon!
He complained crazily in his heart, but he still replied respectfully, “Alright, President. I’ll go ahead with my report, then.”
By the time the two of them were done with the company’s matters, it was already 10 at night. Gu Zheng’s vision was a little blurry, and there were waves of sharp pain. Recently, his vision had been getting worse.
“President, since you’re going to the Lu family’s house tomorrow, do you need me to deal with the rumors outside first?” Song Shijing asked.
“There’s no need.” Gu Zheng leaned against the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
“But the rumors outside are very disadvantageous to you now. Chairman Lu has been unconscious for a long time. Many people are saying that you caused it. If this goes on, tomorrow…”
Gu Zheng said casually, “They’re right. I’m indeed the one who caused Chairman Lu to fall into a coma.”
Song Shijing: “…” That was indeed the case, and it could be said that the Lu family had not wronged the president this time. However, such rumors would affect the president’s wise and divine image!
He really could not understand the president’s mind!
…
In the Lu family’s mansion.
Everyone gathered in Old Master Lu’s room. The atmosphere was very gloomy. Old Master Lu, who should have woken up a long time ago, was still unconscious.
Originally, the old master was only pretending to be sick as he wanted Gu Zheng to give up 5% of the shares. That way, not only would he be able to keep the shares, but he would also make Gu Zheng bear the infamy of being unfilial. At that time, Gu Zheng would not have the right to fight for the position of heir.
However, no one expected that the old master would really fall sick.
A few days ago, the family doctor said that he would wake up by today at the latest. The old master did show signs of waking up, but he had only opened his eyes for a moment before falling unconscious again.
The old master was the head of the family. The matters relating to the ancestral worship ceremony still needed to be decided by the old master. It was still uncertain whether they should let Gu Zheng enter the ancestral hall or not.
The family doctor’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. He had already done a full-body check-up on the old master. His vital signs were normal, and there was no poison in his body. Logically speaking, the old master should have woken up long ago, but he was still unconscious.
Although he was unconscious, he looked more like he had fallen asleep. His expression was relaxed, and his breathing was normal. He would even turn over on his own, but he would not wake up no matter how much they shouted.
Lu Xiang’s expression darkened as she cursed, “You piece of trash! The Lu family spends so much money on you every year, but you can’t even treat the old master’s illness? When will the old master wake up?”
The family doctor endured Lu Xiang’s curses with a helpless expression. Actually, he thought that Old Master Lu was pretending to be sick!
Previously, when the old master first fell unconscious, he had indeed detected poison in the old master’s body, but the dosage was very small. It would not be long before the old master woke up. Now, there was no poison in the old master’s body anymore and everything was normal. Hence, there could only be one reason why he had not woken up.
