Chapter 459 You Should Be The One Kneeling Down And Apologizing
Old Madam Gu was accompanied by a group of people. The doctor and nurses were almost always by her side. The maids also took care of her at all times, afraid that there would be any mishaps. The butler and bodyguards also stayed by her side. There were some Gu family members who rushed over after hearing the news as well.
Everyone had just reached the main residence when they heard Gu Weiming’s roar from inside. “Qiao Xi! Get lost!”
Following that was Qiao Xi’s sobbing voice, “Chairman Gu, Huang Wei almost killed Gu Zheng. He’s your biological son! Even if you want Lu Yan to inherit the Gu family, you can’t kill Gu Zheng!”
Everyone widened their eyes in shock. Old Madam Gu narrowed her eyes.
Gu Weiming was furious. “Qiao Xi! Shut up! How could I have…”
“This morning, Huang Wei went to Maple Garden to poison Ah Zheng. If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t fall asleep and coincidentally caught him, Ah Zheng might already be… Sob, sob, sob. I even invited the descendant of the divine physician, Qin An, to treat Ah Zheng’s illness…
“Your son was almost killed by someone. | thought that you would stand up for Ah Zheng, so I brought the culprit here. Who knew that you…”
Qiao Xi was sobbing so hard that she couldn’t make a sound. She was crying so hard that her body was swaying weakly.
“Who would have thought that you would scold me? You think that I shouldn’t have hit Huang Wei, huh? Let me ask you, then. Why can’t I hit someone who almost killed my husband? I really don’t understand why you want to cover up for Huang Wei. Could it be that everything that happened today was your and Huang Lilan’s idea?”
Boom—
Gu Weiming widened his eyes.
Huang Lilan’s body stiffened as she quickly retorted, “You… You’re spouting nonsense!”
“Madam Gu, you’ll know whether I’m spouting nonsense or not in a while. If I don’t have any evidence, why would I come looking for you? You said that you don’t know about these things, so that means Huang Wei did it himself?
“But I remember that you sent people to Maple Garden last night. You asked them to nail all the windows in Maple Garden with wooden planks so that Ah Zheng could live in the dark forever. Then, someone came to
poison him right after midnight. That’s why I thought it was you…”
“Qiao Xi! Shut up! Why don’t you just die?!” Huang Lilan roared in exasperation after being exposed.
Qiao Xi said in a carefree manner, “Madam Gu, is this your upbringing? I didn’t offend you from the beginning until the end, yet you’re cursing me to die. Looks like you really did have a part in poisoning Gu Zheng!
You’re so brazen. Is it because you think you have backers?”
Huang Lilan was trembling with anger.
“I did beat Huang Wei up, but he almost caused Gu Zheng’s death. So what if I beat him up? Moreover, I’m just a weak woman. His injuries are nothing more than flesh wounds. Even if you sue me, I’ll just have to pay for his medical fees. But you tried to commit murder!”
Their faces turned pale.
If things really got out of hand…
Gu Weiming knew in his heart that Huang Lilan was behind this. He glared at Huang Lilan before saying coldly, “Qiao Xi, I think you’ve misunderstood. Why would Huang Wei poison Ah Zheng?”
Huang Lilan also put on the appearance of an elder. “Qiao Xi, why would my younger brother harm Ah Zheng? Ah Zheng is my child. He wouldn’t do such a thing. It’s your fault for beating him up for no reason. Hurry up and admit your mistake! Kneel down!”
Right now, only the few of them knew about this matter. As long as Gu Weiming was on her side, there was nothing Qiao Xi could do.
Huang Lilan was just about to reprimand Qiao Xi when an angry roar came from outside.
“You should be the one kneeling down and apologizing!”
Huang Lilan did not hesitate and said without thinking, “Pah! Who dares to be so…”
Old Madam Gu slowly walked in with her walking cane. Qin An supported her from the side. Her eyes were clear and her voice was deep. At this moment, her gaze was filled with anger.
Huang Lilan was stunned for a few seconds before her face turned pale with fright. Her mind was suddenly in a mess.
Old Madam Gu walked in front of her with a cold gaze. “Huang Lilan, you poisoned my precious grandson and even told my granddaughter-in-law to kneel down to you. Why? Are you in charge of the Gu family now?”
At this moment, everyone had followed Old Madam Gu into the main residence. Old Madam Gu had finally woken up and everyone wanted to suck up to her. No one dared to anger her.
However, Old Madam Gu had just woken up in the morning and already flew into a rage..
Chapter 460 Grandma Is Really A Hero Among Women!
Huang Lilan’s lips were trembling. “Mom, no. It’s not like that… I…”
“Kneel!”
Old Madam Gu did not want to listen to her explanation at all. She raised the walking cane in her hand and hit Huang Lilan’s leg heavily. Huang Lilan felt a sharp pain in her knee and her body immediately knelt on the ground.
This was the first time Qiao Xi had seen Old Madam Gu fly into a rage. Her face was filled with shock.
Although this old lady was getting on in years, she was still quite strong. With just one swing of her cane, Huang Lilan had already knelt down. No wonder she gave her a lethal weapon the first time they met.
Old Madam Gu was full of vigor. “Huang Lilan, do you think that I’m terminally ill and won’t be able to live for long? Do you think it’s your turn to make decisions for the Gu family now?”
Huang Lilan’s face contorted in pain, but her tone remained gentle. “No… No, Mom. I really…”
“No? Although I’m always in a coma, I’m not deaf or blind. I know very well how you treat Zheng’er. Just look at the state of Maple Garden? Is that the place where the head of the Gu family should live? Not only did you chase him there but you even sent someone to seal the windows. Are you worthy of being the wife of the Gu family?”
Huang Lilan explained weakly, “Mom, I didn’t mean any harm. Maple Garden is where Ah Zheng has lived since he was young. I…I was afraid that he wouldn’t be used to it, so… I let him live there. As for the windows… I don’t know about the windows! It’s Qiao Xi! She’s framing me! I really… don’t know anything!”
Old Madam Gu swept a cold glance at her, raised her walking cane, and hit her hard on the back. She roared, “You still dare to slander your daughter-in-law? Although I’m old, my eyes are still bright! I know clearly what you’re thinking. It’s fine if you don’t like Zheng’er, but now that he has already established his own family and business, you’re still unwilling to let him off. Don’t forget that everything in the Gu family now belongs to my grandson. If you’re unwilling to stay here, then get lost!”
When Huang Lilan heard this, her body went limp and she fell to the floor.
Gu Weiming’s expression turned ugly as he tried to persuade Old Madam Gu in a low voice. “Mom, calm down. This is actually still Qiao Xi…”
Old Madam Gu gave him a look of disdain. Without giving him a chance to speak, she smashed her walking cane on his knee.
He hadn’t finished speaking when he felt a sharp pain in his knee. He instinctively knelt before Qiao Xi.
Old Madam Gu lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Weiming in disgust. “Why did I give birth to such a silly person like you?! I get angry whenever I see you. From now on, whenever you speak to me, you have to kneel down!”
Qiao Xi looked at Gu Weiming who was kneeling before her and took a few steps back in embarrassment. She walked to Gu Zheng’s side and was extremely shocked. “Your grandmother is really… a heroine! As expected of the Gu family’s old madam. She’s really bold!”
Gu Weiming’s face turned pale, but he did not dare to refute.
Even though he was an arrogant man, he did not dare to go against Old Madam Gu. This was because Old Madam Gu was the true master of the Gu family. She had once wanted to hand over the authority of the Gu family to Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng was unwilling to accept it.
The power of the Gu family was now in the hands of Old Madam Gu, and Gu Weiming only had the right to speak when Old Madam Gu was unconscious.
Gu Weiming gritted his teeth. “Mom, don’t listen to Qiao Xi’s side of the story. She’s very scheming. Lilan is Ah Zheng’s biological mother. There’s no reason for her to poison him!”
Old Madam Gu glared at him from above.
Gu Weiming panicked. He was afraid that Old Madam Gu would reveal the secret. He quickly said, “I think this…”
Huang Lilan’s face was also filled with terror as she shed tears of grievance. “Mom, I didn’t make things difficult for Qiao Xi. She went too far and wrongly accused me of poisoning Ah Zheng. I’m Ah Zheng’s mother. Why would I want to poison him? Qiao Xi beat up my younger brother without any explanation. As an elder sister, can’t I question her?”
Huang Lilan said sorrowfully, “I’ve never asked for anything from Qiao Xi, but as my daughter-in-law, she rushed to the residence of her in-laws so early in the morning to denounce me! How can I not be angry with such a shrewish daughter-in-law?”
Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. This was the time to act!
Old Madam Gu snorted impatiently and was about to reprimand her when Gu Zheng spoke.
“My wife has always been weak. How could she hit anyone? Madam Gu, please don’t bully my wife anymore.”.
