Chapter 1161: Who Said I Don’t Have Evidence?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Lu Yan felt as if a large rock was pressing against his heart. He could not say a word. Lu Xiang’s expression was panicked as she stopped her loudly. “Shut up! You’re slandering Ah Yan without any evidence. You’re deliberately here to cause trouble! Guards! Chase her out. Don’t let her delay our Lu family’s ancestral worship ceremony!”
“Who said I don’t have evidence?” Qiao Xi smiled confidently. She lazily raised her eyes, and her cold gaze landed on Lu Xiang. “Second Miss Lu, what evidence do you need? I have evidence that Eldest Miss Lu only gave birth to Ah Zheng and evidence that Huang Lilan swapped the child. Moreover, I have evidence that the Lu family knew that Lu Yan wasn’t a child of the Lu family, but they still raised him by their side and nurtured him to be the heir.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze was sharp, and her voice was icy-cold. Every word smashed into everyone’s hearts. They reacted for a long time before understanding Qiao Xi’s words. Hence, Miss Lu Qingyun only had Gu Zheng as her son, while Huang Lilan swapped her child with Gu Zheng. The Lu family clearly knew that the two children were swapped, but they pretended not to know.
In that case, how could Miss Lu Qingyun visit Lu Xiang in her dreams and even ask her to chase Gu Zheng away?
If all of this was true, then what Lu Xiang said in her dream today was a lie. It also proved that the Lu family was biased toward Lu Yan but hated Gu Zheng.
Lu Xiang revealed a terrified expression, and Lu Yan, who was at the side, was also trembling. He gritted his teeth and controlled his emotions. He could not panic, and he absolutely could not expose himself. Perhaps Qiao Xi was just trying to deceive him. She did not have any substantial evidence at all.
The entire venue was in an uproar as everyone discussed softly. Lu Yan said loudly, “Everyone.”
The surroundings fell silent. His expression was serious as he said calmly, “The Lu family knows that I’ve lived here since I was young. They also know that my mother is Lu Qingyun, but now, someone’s actually saying that I’m Huang Lilan’s son. How laughable! Miss Qiao, I understand that you’re targeting me for Gu Zheng. In the past, we had some misunderstandings, but the truth is out now. We’re biological brothers from the same mother. My mother is watching us from the sky. Why do you have to make the brothers go against each other?
“If I’m Huang Lilan’s biological son, why did Huang Lilan abandon me in the Lu family? Why didn’t she keep her biological son by her side? Moreover, if I’m really Huang Lilan’s son, why didn’t I say anything when Ah Zheng exposed Huang Lilan and chased her out of the Gu family some time ago?
“If she were my mother, I definitely wouldn’t have stood by and done nothing. However, she’s just a lowly and despicable mistress. She was the one who caused our mother’s death. I wish I could kill her to vent my anger. How can I be her son?”
Hearing Lu Yan’s sad explanation, everyone’s hearts could not help but ache. Qiao Xi, on the other hand, had a look of disdain on her face. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited. She really did not have the patience to watch Lu Yan act anymore.
However, Lu Yan was getting more and more confident. He took a deep breath and continued, “Miss Qiao, do you think that now that Huang Lilan has gone missing and there’s no way of verifying it that you can casually slander me?
“Ah Zheng was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Huang Lilan when he was young. All these years, he has suffered a lot in the Gu family. My heart aches for him, but all of this isn’t my fault! I shouldn’t be wronged just because I was lucky and led a carefree life in the Lu family!”
As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, Lu Xiang, who was at the side, hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right! Ah Yan is my sister’s biological son. He and Ah Zheng are from the same mother. It’s just that back then, Huang Lilan secretly stole Ah Zheng, while Ah Yan was lucky enough to stay in the Lu family. Qiao Xi, now that the two brothers are reunited, as Ah Zheng’s wife, you should mediate the relationship between the two of them. However, you’re instigating trouble everywhere. Now, you’re actually spouting nonsense in public. You’re really too evil. Ah Zheng should divorce you!”
Fifth Uncle also said with a serious expression, “Mrs. Gu, we’re all family. As long as you apologize to Ah Yan, this matter will be over. If it goes to court, you won’t look good either!”
The entire venue was silent as everyone looked at Qiao Xi. Gu Zheng, who was at the side, had his arms crossed as he looked at her with interest. He was looking forward to Qiao Xi’s next plan. After all, she was so smart, so she would definitely not let the Lu family ride on her head.
The glint in Gu Zheng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. His eyes were filled with affection as he bent down slightly and whispered into her ear, “Xi Xi, do whatever you want. You don’t have to care about me.”
