Gu Zheng looked up slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. “Xi Xi, you’re so smart. Don’t you have any good ideas?”

Qiao Xi smiled shyly. “I’m so stupid and weak. How would I know?!”

Gu Zheng quietly looked at her. After a long time, he smiled and nodded. Meanwhile, Qiao Xi was dumbfounded. What did this man mean? Why did he nod for no reason?

After that, the Lu family did not mention Gu Zheng again. Logically speaking, he was already a member of the Lu family now and should have an ident.i.ty. Was he the eldest young master of the Lu family or the second young master?

However, the Lu family did not care about this at all. The servants also called him Mr. Gu or President Gu. Nothing seemed to have changed.

The Lu family was clearly telling everyone that even though Gu Zheng had returned to the Lu family and his name was in the family register, no one in the Lu family welcomed him. Moreover, the Lu family already had an heir. No one could replace Lu Yan.

Some of the higher-ups of Lu Corporation were once Lu Qingyun’s subordinates. When they saw this scene, they were a little dissatisfied. However, after thinking about it carefully, Lu Yan was raised by the old master since he was young. The two of them had a deep relations.h.i.+p, so the old master naturally had to leave the Lu family to him. Although Lu Yan was not too smart and was not good at business, as long as he did not make a big mistake, he would still be the heir of the Lu family.

Faced with the Lu family’s cold att.i.tude, Gu Zheng did not care in the slightest. He only lit incense for Lu Qingyun outside the ancestral hall and returned to Yun Court with Qiao Xi. He did not speak to the Lu family at all.

…

In the Lu family’s residence.

“Ah Yan, remember that you’re the heir of the Lu family. Even though Gu Zheng has come back, he can’t change this fact!” Old Master Lu looked at Lu Yan seriously.

“Gu Zheng spent so much effort to return to the Lu family because he wants to s.n.a.t.c.h everything from the Lu family, but I won’t fulfill his wish. As long as I’m alive, the Lu family will absolutely not fall into his hands!” Old Master Lu said with a firm gaze.

Lu Yan smiled gently. “Grandpa, as long as I can contribute to the Lu family, it doesn’t matter who the heir is. If President Gu can lead Lu Corporation to greater heights, I’m willing to give up my position.”

“Ah Yan, you’re too sensible.” Old Master Lu looked at Lu Yan with affection. “The position of heir will always be yours. I’ll officially announce this matter to the board of directors tomorrow. I won’t give Gu Zheng any chance.”

At 10 p.m.

Ji Nan arrived at Yun Court and pa.s.sed Old Master Lu’s words to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa, supported her chin, and blinked. “The old master wants to make the announcement after the ancestral wors.h.i.+p ceremony tomorrow. How impatient of him! Then let’s not make him wait until tomorrow.”

Ji Nan’s face was instantly filled with horror as he said while trembling, “Eldest Miss, this is the Lu family. There’ll be trouble if you kill someone. Calm down.”

Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. “What nonsense are you talking about?! Am I such a violent person? I’m very reasonable. I’ve never done anything illegal!”

Ji Nan’s expression was subtle as if he did not believe her. He replied helplessly, “The main residence is surrounded by bodyguards. Even if I personally appear, I don’t have the right to transfer them away, so…”

What she said just now successfully made Ji Nan misunderstand. He kept having the feeling that Eldest Miss wanted to silence the old master. It made Ji Nan’s heart thump.

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly as she hurriedly left. Ji Nan followed behind and shouted helplessly, “Eldest Miss, don’t go!”

Hearing Ji Nan’s voice, Qiao Xi turned around slightly with a stunning smile. Then, she looked at the main residence and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Ji Nan stood in the wind in a mess. He was not worried that something would happen to Eldest Miss, but he was afraid that something would happen to the Lu family. If Eldest Miss killed someone, how could the Lu family let the matter go?!

At this moment, in the study upstairs.

Song s.h.i.+jing stood in front of Gu Zheng and repeated the old master’s words. After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng sneered. “Old Master, why are you in such a rush?”

“President, we…”

“I don’t have time to play with them.” Gu Zheng waved his hand and lazily leaned against the chair with his eyes closed. His thin lips parted slightly. “Go do it.”

These few words had already announced Lu Yan’s outcome. Tomorrow, the direct descendants of the Lu family would pay respects to their ancestors, but Lu Yan would be completely removed from the Lu family. He was not related to the Lu family by blood at all. It was enough for him to have stolen these 20 years of peace. From now on, he would no longer be Lu Qingyun’s son.

Gu Zheng’s tone was indifferent. In his eyes, Lu Yan was just an ant. He did not treat Lu Yan as his opponent at all.
