Chapter 1132: This Is Called Returning Something To Its Owner
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ah Zheng, where are we staying?” Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at the main building of the Lu family’s residence. She chuckled. “This is the main residence, right? Old Master Lu, Old Madam Lu, Lu Xiang, and Lu Yan have been living quite well!”
Old Master Lu was a direct descendant of the Lu family, but he only had a few descendants. The old master’s first wife had pa.s.sed away, and the eldest daughter, Lu Qingyun, had also pa.s.sed away. Now that he had announced to the public that Lu Yan was Lu Qingyun’s biological son, the position of heir naturally fell to him. He naturally had the right to stay in the main residence.
Logically speaking, Gu Zheng should stay in the main residence. After all, he had already proven that he was Lu Qingyun’s biological son. No matter Lu Yan’s ident.i.ty, Gu Zheng’s ident.i.ty was unquestionable.
Even if the Lu family refused to let Qiao Xi enter the main residence, Gu Zheng had the qualifications to enter.
The corners of Gu Zheng’s lips curled up slightly, but his eyes were filled with coldness. He looked up at the luxurious mansion. He rarely came to the Lu family’s residence since he was young. The last time he came here was to ask for help. He never stepped into the Lu family’s main residence again.
In the past, Huang Lilan was afraid that he would disturb Lu Yan, so she would never allow him to come to the Lu family. However, he would secretly run over when no one was paying attention. He only wanted to see her from afar. He would appear very satisfied just seeing that she was still alive.
Now that he had officially entered the Lu family and was respected by everyone, he did not feel happy at all because that person was no longer around.
Gu Zheng restrained the cold expression on his face and said gently, “Xi Xi, do you like this mansion?”
Qiao Xi smiled and replied, “Yes, I like it. This designer is very thoughtful, and every part of the design is very fitting. Moreover, the scenery around the villa is very beautiful. This should be the best residential building here.”
Gu Zheng said faintly, “I like it too.”
Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment. She simply said she liked this mansion, but Gu Zheng’s words made her hear intense desire. He wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h this mansion and even control the entire Lu family.
As expected, Gu Zheng chuckled. “Since you like it, Xi Xi, I’ll s.n.a.t.c.h the mansion for you.”
Hearing this, Song Shiyu pursed his lips at Song Shijing. His expression seemed to say, ‘The president is so domineering! Why would Young Madam like such a violent and domineering man?’
The next second, Qiao Xi’s eyes were filled with admiration as she said, “Ah Zheng, you’re so powerful! But we’re civilized people. How can you call taking back what belongs to you stealing? This is called returning something to its rightful owner!”
Song Shiyu looked terrified. No wonder the president liked Young Madam. The couple was the same kind of people! Young Madam was even more domineering than the president!
Everyone from the Lu family had lived in this mansion for so many years. With just one sentence from Young Madam, the owner of this mansion had changed. She did not take the Lu family seriously at all!
Gu Zheng stroked her smooth cheek gently and smiled dotingly. “Xi Xi, you’re so smart.”
Qiao Xi raised her head and smiled proudly. This mansion was designed by Miss Lu Qingyun when she was alive. Moreover, if it were not for the support of Lu Qingyun’s biological mother, would the Lu family’s current huge mansion exist?
Back then, the old madam’s will stated that the mansion would be left to Lu Qingyun. After Lu Qingyun pa.s.sed away, the will stated that it would be left to her biological son. That person was Gu Zheng!
Lu Yan had pretended to be Gu Zheng for more than 20 years, but he was just an impostor. He would never be able to replace Gu Zheng. He would be exposed sooner or later.
Qiao Xi sized up the mansion in front of her. Before long, this would be her a.s.set. She had already thought of throwing away all the things that the Lu family had used and renovating the house to become her and Gu Zheng’s home.
However, now…
“Ah Zheng, where are we staying?” Qiao Xi asked.
Gu Zheng said softly, “Yun Court.”
Qiao Xi nodded. She knew about Yun Court. Ji Nan had been in the Lu family for two years and had pa.s.sed on the news of the Lu family to her. Yun Court was Lu Qingyun’s former residence.
The eldest daughter of the Lu family did not live in the main residence but in a remote courtyard. This was because the mansion left behind by her biological mother was occupied by the mistress and the illegitimate daughter, Lu Xiang. There was no longer a place for her in the Lu family. Hence, her moving to a remote place might be a good thing.
She heard from Ji Nan that although Yun Court was remote, the courtyard was very s.p.a.cious. The villa was also designed to give off a warm atmosphere. There was also a garden, but after Eldest Miss Lu pa.s.sed away, no one stepped into Yun Court anymore. The place became a wasteland.
