Qiao Xi smiled. “Ah Zheng, let’s go.”
Gu Zheng nodded slightly in response.
Gu Weiming gritted his teeth and glared at the two of them. They were supposed to announce Ah Yan’s ident.i.ty today but the birthday banquet had been ruined by Gu Zheng. Now, these people were forcing him to divorce Lilan!
Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to reunite the family. However, now that Ah Yan could return to the Gu family, Lilan had to be sacrificed!
“Gu Zheng! Stop right there!” Gu Weiming was furious.
Qiao Xi slowly turned around and sneered. “Chairman Gu, if you have time, why don’t you quickly settle your divorce procedures? There’s no point in taking your anger out on Ah Zheng.”
This sentence rendered Gu Weiming speechless.
The original plan was for the Gu and Lu families to work together and force Gu Zheng to admit that he had indirectly killed Lu Qingyun. Then, they would strip him off of his inheritance rights and a.s.sets. Now, however, the two families could not be as close anymore because of the incident with Lu
Qingyun.
If he had known earlier, he would not have kept this unfilial son with him!
Ten minutes later, Qiao Xi came out of the Gu family’s old residence. Just as she walked out of the door, a man walked up to her. “Miss Qiao, can we talk?”
Lu Yan looked at her warmly.
Even though she had expected the answer, Qiao Xi’s heart still trembled.
Lu Yan smiled bitterly. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t come to look for you in time, which resulted in you and Gu Zheng getting married. However, our engagement was a fact. I just want you to know who Iam.
“Tm the fiance your grandfather chose for you. Even if you don’t marry me, I won’t resent you or hurt you. We can still be friends.”
‘The air was silent for a moment before Qiao Xi sneered, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
“Lu Yan, you’re ridiculous.”
Qiao Xi’s icy cold words rang out. “Don’t think I can’t tell what you’re trying to say. You’re saying that you’re someone my grandfather trusts and that you’re the fiance my grandfather chose for me. You’re accusing Gu Zheng of stealing your woman, yet you’re still pretending to be magnanimous. You really
are a *sshole!
“Whether you’re my fiance or not is still up for debate. Even though Grandpa isn’t by my side, I still have my senior and teacher. Do you think I’l fall for your lies so easily? You think highly of yourself, but don’t treat others as fools. I’m different from other women. I won’t believe your nonsense!”
The smile on Lu Yan’s face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were filled with ferocity.
His pale fingers gripped the jade pendant tightly as he said in a low voice, “Miss Qiao, you don’t believe me anymore?”
Qiao Xi grunted coldly in her heart.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. But Miss Qiao, remember this. Since I’ve accepted your grandfather’s token, I’ll protect you according to his wishes. Whether you like me or not, I’ll fulfill my promise to him..”
