Chapter 1162: Who Dares To Tell Xi Xi To Scram?
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and revealed a crafty smile. Since Gu Zheng had said so, then she would let Lu Yan know the consequences of angering her!
The surroundings were silent as everyone waited for Qiao Xi to apologize.
After a long silence, Qiao Xi stroked her hair with an indifferent expression and sneered. “Let’s talk about the matter of apologizing first. I have to explain what Lu Yan just said. He mentioned the farce in the Gu family a few months ago. If he were Huang Lilan’s son, he would probably have saved her, but he didn’t. It wasn’t because he hates Huang Lilan but because he’s selfish and heartless. He didn’t hesitate to abandon his mother for his own benefit. He looks down on his mother from the bottom of his heart, and that’s because Huang Lilan is a mistress. As long as he’s involved with her, he’ll be mocked and scolded. That’s why he didn’t stand up for Huang Lilan. Otherwise, his ident.i.ty would’ve been exposed and he would’ve been implicated right then and there.
“This also explains why Huang Lilan didn’t keep her son by her side. It’s because she knew that she was a mistress, so her son would be labeled as an illegitimate child and discriminated against like her. If she wanted to change Lu Yan’s fate, she had to make him the son of the first wife. Hence, she swapped the two children and left Lu Yan in the Lu family. I think Lu Yan hopes that Huang Lilan will die because if she does, we won’t be able to do a DNA test. We won’t be able to prove the two’s relationship.”
Qiao Xi’s words caused everyone present to be dumbstruck. At the same time, it was like a sharp knife had stabbed into Lu Yan’s heart. He flew into a rage. “Shut up!”
“Miss Qiao, I gave you a chance to apologize. If you refuse to repent and insist on slandering me, I’ll sue you. I hope you—”
“You’re the one who needs to shut up!” Qiao Xi mercilessly interrupted Lu Yan and said with a disdainful expression, “Go ahead and sue me. I’m telling the truth. I’m not slandering you. It won’t change anything even if we go to court.”
Lu Yan’s face was livid as he gritted his teeth. “Miss Qiao, I’ve also said that I have nothing to do with Huang Lilan. My mother is Lu Qingyun!”
“Young Master Lu, don’t tell me you really think that I have no evidence? Since I confidently said all this in public, it means that I’m confident I can prove it. I’m not a fool. Without evidence, would I dare to cause trouble in the Lu family? If I do that, I know you’ll make a move on me. The gains won’t make up for the losses.”
Her voice was soft, but there was a trace of mockery in her tone, making Lu Yan’s and Lu Xiang’s faces turn pale. Lu Xiang wished she could rush over and tear Qiao Xi’s indifferent face apart.
“Qiao Xi! Are you done?! Guards! Chase this crazy woman out! Gu Zheng isn’t even acknowledged by the Lu family. What right does this crazy woman have to cause trouble in the Lu family? Quickly chase her away!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zheng stood in front of Qiao Xi. The many bodyguards and servants were all frozen on the spot as they looked at each other. No one dared to attack Gu Zheng.
Lu Xiang only felt anger engulf her entire body. Her face was ferocious as she laughed crazily. “Alright! You pieces of trash are getting paid by the Lu family but you’re not doing as you’re told? Since you guys aren’t doing anything, I’ll chase them out myself.”
Just as Lu Xiang was about to rush over, Qiao Xi took a step forward and grabbed her wrist. She looked at her with a smile. “If Lu Yan is innocent, why are you so afraid of me saying these things? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?”
“Guilty conscience? How laughable! I just can’t stand you slandering Ah Yan. He’s of the Lu family’s bloodline, and the entire Lu family knows about it. However, you just insist on causing trouble at the ancestral worship ceremony. You’ve already delayed the ceremony. Now, quickly get lost. If you delay the Lu family’s matter, I’ll absolutely not let you off!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire venue was silent. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the courtyard. It sounded like there were many people.
Not long after, dozens of bodyguards rushed into the courtyard with a few doctors and nurses. In the middle was a gray-haired old man in a wheelchair.
The old master’s gaze was like a torch. Although he was old, he exuded a powerful aura. His dignified voice sounded in the courtyard. “I want to see who’s so mighty that they actually want Xi Xi to get lost.”
These words were like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone’s ears. Everyone looked at the old man in front of them with dumbfounded expressions. There was a trace of disbelief in their eyes.
The grand old master had been unconscious for many years, but his mighty aura had not decreased in the slightest. His sharp eyes swept across everyone, and everyone lowered their heads in fear. The horror in Lu Xiang’s heart overflowed like a tide.
