Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Zheng’s eyes were indifferent as he ignored Lu Xiang.

Qiao Xi smiled lightly and shot a glance at the people from the Medical Association.

The Lu family was crusading against Gu Zheng, saying that he was the culprit who tried to harm the head of the family. Since he was the culprit, he naturally could not participate in the Lu family’s ancestral worship ceremony. Moreover, if news of this got out, Gu Zheng’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Lu Yan heaved a sigh of relief, his heart filled with pride. Today, not only could he expel Gu Zheng from the Lu family, but he could also ruin Gu Zheng’s reputation. Even if Gu Zheng was powerful now, everyone in Li City knew that he was vicious. Who would work with him?

The surroundings instantly fell silent as everyone stared at Gu Zheng. After a long silence, a young doctor from the Medical Association suddenly walked over and asked in confusion, “Do you think Mr. Gu caused the old master to faint?”

When Lu Xiang heard the doctor’s question, she was instantly excited. If the people from the Medical Association also believed that Gu Zheng had poisoned the old master, Gu Zheng would definitely not be able to explain himself.

At the thought of this, she immediately fanned the flames. “It’s him! For the sake of that 5% of shares, he even poisoned his own grandfather. My father is his family too, but he actually disregarded kinship and heartlessly attacked my father. My father is already so old and can’t take it at all. If you hadn’t come, I’m afraid my father would have been unconscious for a long time!

“Gu Zheng! Let me tell you, you have to take responsibility for any injuries to my father’s body!”

The young doctor could not help but fall silent. He looked at Lu Xiang with a subtle expression.

Before he could speak, Fifth Uncle chimed in, “Gu Zheng! You have to explain this matter clearly. You clearly know that the head of the family is old, but you actually did such a thing just for some shares. Just what do you think of the Lu family?! What right do you have to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony?”

The doctor from the Medical Association said, “Listen to me…”

Lu Yan spoke first, “President Gu, I hope you can give everyone a reasonable explanation.”

Everyone from the Lu family said, “Yes! President Gu, you have to apologize to the head of the family no matter what!”

“Although he’s the old master’s biological grandson, he’s led a wandering life since he was young and has no feelings for the old master. He actually used such despicable methods on his elders. No wonder such a person was misunderstood as an illegitimate child. The Lu family has just acknowledged his identity, but he poisoned the old master. The pitiful are pitiful for a reason.”

“Lu Yan is much more filial. I heard that during the time the old master was unconscious, Lu Yan would talk to him whenever he had time and even feed him medicine. The heir of the Lu family should be Lu Yan. Gu Zheng has no right to compete with Lu Yan!”

After everyone finished speaking, they all looked at Gu Zheng. However, Gu Zheng, who was being criticized and watched by everyone, had an indifferent expression from the beginning until the end. It was as if what they said had nothing to do with him.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as she revealed a disdainful expression.

Seeing that the two of them were so indifferent, a trace of uneasiness surged in Lu Yan’s heart. Gu Zheng had always had a cold face, but Qiao Xi also had an indifferent expression now. Why was that?

Before Lu Yan could think it through, the Lu family started urging Gu Zheng to give them an explanation.

The doctor from the Medical Association was about to explain again when he was interrupted by Lu Xiang. “Gu Zheng! Don’t think that we’re afraid of you just because you can do whatever you want in Li City! This is the Lu family, and you tried to harm the head of the family. Don’t you have any explanation? You’ll go to jail for poisoning others!”

The doctor said, “Second Miss Lu, actually…”

“Gu Zheng! The doctors from the Medical Association are here as well. What else do you have to say? I advise you to quickly apologize to the old master. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

Qiao Xi crossed her arms over her chest. She was clearly impatient when she heard Lu Xiang’s noisy voice. The people from the Medical Association had also noticed it and could not help but become anxious.

Lu Xiang was still nagging. “Gu Zheng! Do you still want to deny it in front of the people from the Medical Association?”

“Second Miss Lu!” the young doctor finally shouted. Then, ignoring everyone’s stunned gazes, he quickly said, “You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t say that Old Master Lu’s coma is related to President Gu!”

The entire venue was silent for a few seconds before it instantly became noisy again.

Lu Yan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His ears buzzed, and his face was pale. Old Master Lu’s face was filled with anxiety. He wanted to speak but could not say anything.

Everyone from the Lu family looked at each other. This doctor was from the Medical Association. There was no need for him to lie. However, if this matter had nothing to do with Gu Zheng, why did the old master faint?

Lu Xiang’s face instantly turned livid. She pointed at the doctor and roared, “Shut up! Were you bribed by Gu Zheng?”
