Qiao Xi glanced at that person. It sounded like he was speaking up for Gu Zheng and saying that Old Master Lu should not be pretending to be sick, but she sensed that something was wrong.

As expected, Lu Yan sighed the next second. “Where did you hear that Grandpa is pretending to be sick?”

The moment that was said, the area outside the ancestral hall instantly fell silent. Everyone widened their eyes. After a moment of silence, someone asked tentatively, “Ah Yan, you mean that the head of the family isn’t pretending to be sick and is really unconscious?”

A trace of victory flashed past Lu Yan’s eyes, then he said sadly, “Yes, Grandpa has been unconscious. We’ve invited many doctors to treat him these past few days, but they haven’t been able to wake him up. The ancestral worship ceremony is about to start, but he still can’t wake up.

“Everyone should know that a week ago, my aunt went to Huazhong Building to look for Gu Zheng to ask for an explanation. For some reason, the Lu family suddenly became the target. My aunt and I were afraid that it would bring calamity to the Lu family, so we didn’t explain it to the public. Later on, rumors spread that Grandpa was pretending to be sick. Actually, he really is in a coma.”

Everyone could not help but think of what had happened a week ago. At that time, Lu Xiang was in Huazhong Building and forced Gu Zheng to give up his shares in public. After that, Mrs. Gu appeared and embarrassed the Lu family. She even made the entire high society suspect that Lu Bai was deliberately pretending to be sick.

However, now that Lu Yan said that Lu Bai had really fainted, it meant that Lu Xiang was telling the truth. A week ago, the old master was really angered by Gu Zheng to the point of falling sick. Because of Mrs. Gu’s words, everyone not only mistakenly thought that the old master was pretending to be sick but also felt indignant for the culprit, Gu Zheng.

The moment that was said, everyone looked at Gu Zheng with disdain.

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with disdain. Lu Yan sure knew how to beat about the bush. Since he wanted to push the blame on Gu Zheng, then he should be more straightforward. How could he be the heir of the Lu family with such a character?

Fifth Uncle had a serious expression. He had clearly discussed it with Lu Yan a long time ago, yet he still pretended to be puzzled in front of everyone and questioned, “President Gu, is Ah Yan telling the truth? Did you really anger the head of the family to the point of falling sick? Aren’t you going to explain?”

At this moment, the members of the Lu family were all gathered here. Everyone’s gazes were on Gu Zheng. They were all waiting for Gu Zheng’s answer.

Qiao Xi really found it laughable. How was Gu Zheng supposed to answer this? It was clearly Lu Yan who lost his shares to her. He had to admit defeat, but he was unwilling to fulfill the bet. Old Master Lu got so angry that he fainted, so now they want Gu Zheng to take the blame. This matter was Lu Yan’s fault from the beginning until the end. It had nothing to do with Ah Zheng!

However, these people were completely unreasonable! In their opinion, the heir whom the head of the family had carefully nurtured, Lu Yan, was the most perfect. Everything he said was right, while Gu Zheng was just an outsider. He was not worthy of taking the Lu family’s shares.

Moreover, once Gu Zheng returned to the Lu family, these vermin who were hiding in the dark and reaping benefits from the Lu family would all be exposed to the sunlight. Gu Zheng would never let them off, so they had to help Lu Yan chase Gu Zheng out of the Lu family.

Since this group of people liked acting, why didn’t they become actors?! Was there a point in acting in front of her and Ah Zheng?

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance around and chuckled. “What do you want Ah Zheng to explain?”

Everyone’s unhappy gazes landed on Qiao Xi. They were talking to Gu Zheng, so how could this woman have the right to speak? Hence, they said unhappily, “Mrs. Gu, this is the Lu family’s ancestral worship ceremony. We’re questioning Gu Zheng. This has nothing to do with you.”

Qiao Xi blinked and curled her red lips. “How is it unrelated to me?! Ah Zheng is my husband, so, of course, I have to speak up for him. I really don’t understand what’s there to explain about this.”

She stroked her hair delicately and said in a soft voice, “Don’t forget that the person who wanted to make a bet back then was Lu Yan. The person who lost Lu Corporation’s shares was also Lu Yan. In the end, however, you’re blaming Old Master Lu’s coma on Ah Zheng. This doesn’t make sense, right?”

Everyone was instantly speechless.

Lu Xiang pointed at Qiao Xi and roared angrily. “Stop spouting nonsense here. The shares have already been lost, so stop blaming Ah Yan! However, Gu Zheng angered my father to the point of falling sick for the sake of those shares. He’s unfilial!”

“Keep your voice down. It doesn’t matter who has the louder voice.” Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at her and said calmly, “Even if Gu Zheng did anger the old master to the point of falling sick for the sake of the shares, that’s not his fault. Back then, both parties agreed to the bet. Whether you win or lose, you have to bear the responsibility yourself. You can’t ask Ah Zheng to give up the shares just because your Lu family is in trouble, right? I think there’s a higher chance that the old master fainted in a fit of anger because he thought that the Lu family was about to be handed to a stupid heir like Lu Yan!”
