[✓](1)Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

389-390

Lu Yan’s gentle mask cracked. “I have no objections if the country wants to take back that plot of land, but I’m the owner of this land, after all. Even if the country wants to take it back, they have to compensate me for my losses.”

Gu Weiming hurriedly nodded. “Yes, if it can’t be developed, then we can forget about it. But the 15 billion yuan…”

“It’s not like that! This plot of land was won from an auction!”

The higher-up hurriedly interrupted them and said unwillingly, “That plot of land’s valuation is only two billion. According to the country’s law, Mr. Lu will only be paid two billion as compensation. As for the remaining 13 billion yuan, it has nothing to do with the country. That’s the additional cost of Mr. Lu has to bear for choosing to bid for it.”

…!

Gu Weiming almost fainted.

Lu Yan also took a deep breath. He quickly reacted and turned to look at Gu Zheng.

At this moment, President Gu was sitting lazily on the sofa. He swirled the wine glass in his hand and raised it toward him with a victorious smile.

He was so confident that victory was in his hands.

A storm brewed in Lu Yan’s mind as if he had been struck by lightning. His expression gradually became terrified.

No wonder, no wonder!

It turned out that Gu Zheng had long known about this, so he deliberately set up a trap for him!

Chapter 390: Gu Zheng Is More Like Eldest Miss Lu’s Child

Lu Yan hurriedly took out his phone and called his assistant with trembling hands.

After a moment, he hung up the phone. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “I’ll look for the corresponding person in charge and try… to minimize the losses.”

Old Master Lu’s blood surged, and he almost fainted.

15 billion was gone just like that?

Everyone was surprised that Mr. Lu was so capable earlier. He could snatch this plot of land from President Gu and was about to take away President Gu’s identity as the heir.

Unexpectedly, there was an ancient tomb underground.

President Gu was so lucky. He gave up on the bid, so he incurred no loss. However, Lu Yan was unlucky. Before he could even do anything to the land, he had already lost 13 billion yuan.

The Lu family’s company was already in a precarious situation. Now, they had to bear a heavy loss. Moreover, Gu Weiming himself lost more than four billion yuan as well. This would cause quite a big impact.

All the senior executives of Gu Corporation had gloomy expressions. “You have the cheek to say that this is Eldest Miss Lu’s son? He wouldn’t have been so rash. Since you wanted to bid for this plot of land, didn’t you do a survey beforehand? You blindly followed and watched as others bid, so you wanted to join in as well. Great! Now, you’ve implicated us!”

“Chairman Gu, your son doesn’t have any talent in business at all.”

Gu Weiming and Old Master Lu’s faces were livid, while their eyes were filled with viciousness.

Just then, someone from the crowd said, “Say… why did President Gu suddenly give up on the bid?”

Everyone was stunned.

“Could it be that President Gu knew something so he gave up on the bid?”

“Yes!” Everyone suddenly reacted.

“No one can compete with President Gu for what he wants. He must have heard the news, so he gave up on that plot of land. Lu Yan thought highly of himself and thought that President Gu was afraid. Little did he know that he fell into a trap. How laughable!”

Lu Yan’s face was pale. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. His gaze could kill.

“I don’t think Lu Yan is Eldest Miss Lu’s son at all. On the contrary, President Gu is the one who’s extremely talented in business. He’s more like Eldest Miss Lu’s biological son. Actually, I’ve long suspected it. Do you think President Gu is Eldest Miss Lu’s son?”

With that said, everyone fell silent.

Huang Lilan was instantly alarmed as she looked at Gu Weiming in horror.

Gu Weiming’s face darkened. He was about to flare up when he was stopped by Lu Yan.

At this moment, someone advised Gu Weiming nicely, “Chairman Gu, the truth is right in front of us. Lu Yan made a mistake in his judgment and caused irreparable damage to the Gu and Lu families. He can’t compare to President Gu…”

“I think we should be more careful about the decision regarding the heir. Chairman Gu, you should consider it carefully before making a decision!”

At this moment, Old Master Lu slammed the table. “Weiming! You can’t do this. When the Gu family was in danger, it was the Lu family who took action. That’s how the Gu family got to enjoy their current status!”

“Ah Yan is your legitimate child. He has already acknowledged his ancestors. Are you going to hand the Gu family to an illegitimate child?”

Everyone lowered their heads.

That was right. Back when the Gu family was in trouble, it was with Eldest Miss Lu’s help that they survived.

Although President Gu did not rely on the Gu family to succeed, if he became the heir, Eldest Miss Lu’s soul in heaven wouldn’t be at peace.

Qiao Xi’s gaze was slightly cold.

Gu Zheng could clearly hear the ridicule in Qiao Xi’s heart.

‘The Lu family is really shameless! They clearly know that Lu Yan is the illegitimate child while Gu Zheng is Eldest Miss Lu’s son, yet they’re still using Eldest Miss Lu’s kindness to suppress Gu Zheng!

‘The Lu family was ungrateful and caused Eldest Miss Lu’s death. Now, they even want to deal with Eldest Miss Lu’s biological son. They want Ah Zheng to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child. The Lu family is utterly heartless!’

Gu Zheng smirked as warmth flowed through his heart.

Actually, he did not care about what others thought of him. As long as she was on his side, he would have the world.

Gu Weiming pretended to be sad. “Father-in-law, it’s all my fault. I’ve let Qingyun down. I was careless back then, but this has nothing to do with Ah Zheng. He didn’t kill Qingyun. He doesn’t know anything about this!”

Everyone nodded affirmatively.

Everyone knew that Lu Qingyun committed suicide because of depression after being provoked by Huang Lilan.

At that time, Gu Zheng was still young and did not know who Lu Qingyun was. Hence, Eldest Miss Lu’s death definitely had nothing to do with him.. This matter could only be blamed on Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan.
