Chapter 1147: Officially Becoming A Member Of The Lu Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Yan looked at Old Master Lu guiltily. “Grandpa, Doctor Fei said that you might not be unconscious, but I didn’t care about his words. Later on, I thought that perhaps it was because you were old and your body was weak from the poison, so you slept for a few days.

“President Gu, I’ve wronged you. This is all my fault. Don’t misunderstand Grandpa. He has always cared about you!”

Old Master Lu’s eyes gradually became affectionate. Lu Yan had been raised by his side since he was young. Even though the two of them were not related by blood, he had long treated him as his biological grandson. Now, Lu Yan had even taken on all the blame for the Lu family, unlike Gu Zheng who only cared about his own interests and did not care about the Lu family at all.

He glared at Gu Zheng unhappily, then cleared his throat and said, “Alright, Ah Yan has already admitted his mistake. Let’s forget about this matter. Let’s not delay the ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony.”

With that, everyone prepared to pay respects to their ancestors as if nothing had happened.

However, how could Qiao Xi let the matter go just like that? Hence, she sneered. “Old Master Lu, you were unconscious earlier and couldn’t write Gu Zheng’s name in the family tree. He’s not officially from the Lu family yet, so he can’t partic.i.p.ate in the ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony. Now that you’re awake, shouldn’t you officially introduce Gu Zheng’s ident.i.ty to your ancestors?”

The moment that was said, everyone looked at Old Master Lu. If he had not woken up, according to the rules, Gu Zheng would naturally not be able to partic.i.p.ate in the ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony. However, he was already awake now, so there was no reason to refuse.

Lu Bai’s expression was quite heavy, and his beard trembled slightly. He suppressed the anger and unwillingness in his heart. He did not answer Qiao Xi for a long time.

Qiao Xi’s tone was gentle. “Old Master Lu, say something! Do you not know how to answer? It’s okay, Ah Zheng and I have plenty of time. We can talk after you’ve thought it through.”

Lu Bai’s face alternated between red and white. He had never seen a woman as shameless as Qiao Xi. At this point, he could only officially introduce Gu Zheng’s ident.i.ty. However, this way, Gu Zheng would become a member of the Lu family. As Lu Qingyun’s son, he had the right to partic.i.p.ate in the ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony and the right to compete for the inheritance.

However, in front of everyone, Lu Bai had no reason to refuse. He could only kneel in front of the ancestral tablets according to the rules and officially introduce Gu Zheng’s ident.i.ty. His name was also written in the family tree.

It was just a simple segment that could be completed in a few minutes, but Lu Bai felt that it was very long. After the introduction, he glared at Gu Zheng with bloodshot eyes.

Gu Zheng looked up lazily, his eyes filled with coldness. His entire body exuded strong pressure. His entire body seemed to be shrouded in black smoke, and the temperature around him made one shudder.

Lu Bai found it difficult to breathe. The strong suffocating feeling in his chest took a long time to ease.

The ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony began, and everyone went forward to offer incense. It quickly ended. Qiao Xi stood not far away and quietly watched. She said unhappily, “Ah Zheng, your grandfather is too biased. I asked him to introduce you, but his face was extremely ugly. In the end, he didn’t say that you’re the young master of the Lu family and only said that you’re Lu Qingyun’s son.”

Gu Zheng looked indifferent.

“Old Master Lu is biased toward Lu Yan. Even though Lu Yan’s ident.i.ty has been exposed and he’s Huang Lilan’s son, Old Master Lu still can’t bear to abandon Lu Yan. He’ll even clear Lu Yan’s name. At that time, Old Master Lu will announce to the public that Lu Yan didn’t know anything from the beginning to the end. All these years, he had always thought that he was Lu Qingyun’s son and was dedicated to the Lu family. Old Master Lu wants him to stay with the Lu family and work for him. Naturally, no one else has the right to speak.”

Even if Lu Yan’s ident.i.ty was really exposed, as long as the old master still doted on Lu Yan, Lu Yan would still be the n.o.blest young master of the Lu family.

Qiao Xi did not want to see such an outcome. She wanted to see Lu Yan be chased out of the Lu family with her own eyes. From then on, he would only be Huang Lilan’s son and the Gu family’s illegitimate child. He would have nothing to do with Lu Qingyun anymore.

Gu Zheng listened quietly, and a trace of a smile appeared in his deep eyes. He lowered his eyes and said in a gentle voice, “Xi Xi, what should we do?”

Qiao Xi’s body was suffused with killing intent, and her eyes gradually became gloomy. “Of course…”

The words in her mouth suddenly stopped. She suddenly realized that she was a weak and kind little rabbit in Ah Zheng’s heart! How could she be exposed like this?

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Xi smiled sweetly and said, “I don’t know either! But if Lu Yan continues to stay in the Lu family even when his ident.i.ty is exposed, that’ll be too annoying! Ah Zheng, what do you think we should do?! How can such a person continue to stay in the Lu family?”
