Chapter 387: Time To Reel In The Net

Gu Weiming glared at her fiercely, then roared, “Gu Zheng! Don’t think that you’re the only son in the Gu family! There’s Gu Yao, and now, there’s also Lu Yan. He’s the future heir of the Gu family!”

Gu Zheng raised his eyes indifferently and sneered. “Heh, whatever.”

He looked at the time and muttered to himself, “It’s time.”

…

At eight in the evening.

The Lu and Gu families were chatting happily, shocking everyone. The scene in front of them seemed to have returned to more than 20 years ago when the two families had just united through marriage.

The guests discussed in low voices. “Did you see the young man beside Old Master Lu? The Gu family treats him very well!”

“It looks like the Gu family is very close to him. President Gu, on the other hand, isn’t well-liked.”

“What exactly is going on? Although President Gu and Chairman Gu don’t have a good relationship, President Gu is still the head of the Gu family. It’s really strange that Chairman Gu is being so close to another young man.”

Everyone also noticed that something was off.

Someone lowered their voice and said, “Have you heard? President Gu… didn’t take that plot of land in the northern suburbs!”

“That’s impossible! Who else but President Gu has the right to get that plot of land? Who dares to snatch something from President Gu? Even if there’s a fight over it, how could anyone’s wealth be compared to President Gu’s?”

“That person is right in front of us. It’s Lu Yan…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Where did Lu Yan come from? He could actually snatch that plot of land from President Gu?

Moreover, both the Gu and Lu families seemed to take this young man very seriously. Things were probably going to change…

At this moment, Gu Weiming reeked of alcohol. His face was red and full of smiles. He staggered to the stage and raised the microphone. He said loudly, “Thank you for coming to my birthday banquet. I have something important to announce today. I believe everyone is very curious about why Old Master Lu and the second miss of the Lu family are here.”

Everyone looked up, expecting his explanation.

One could hear a pin drop.

Gu Weiming cleared his throat and said formally, “Before announcing this matter, I want to thank my father-in-law, Old Master Lu, and Second Miss Lu. I want to thank them…”

Halfway through, he suddenly choked and continued, “Thank you for helping me raise Qingyun and my child.

“Ah Yan, come to your father.”

Bang!

The air was eerily quiet.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Gu Weiming said that the Lu family raised his and Lu Qingyun’s child?

Lu Yan was the child of Gu Weiming and Lu Qingyun. He was the child of the Gu family’s respected marriage back then!

Everyone was shocked and could not help but look at Gu Zheng. The legitimate heir was back. Then what should Gu Zheng, the ‘illegitimate child’ who had always been the head of the Gu family, do now?

Businessmen valued benefits above all else. Regardless of whether someone was a legitimate child or not, as long as they had the ability, they would be qualified to be the heir. Now that Lu Yan had obtained that plot of land while Gu Zheng lost, it meant that Lu Yan, the legitimate child, was not inferior to Gu Zheng.

Amidst the waves of sighs, Gu Zheng’s expression was calm as he secretly snapped his fingers.

The fish had taken the bait. It was time to reel in the net.

Lu Yan went on stage and stood beside Gu Weiming. The father and son looked very similar. The people below the stage were stunned for a moment. No one knew who was the one who started clapping.

Then, a group of people began to clap and congratulate them. It was a good thing that the Gu family’s legitimate child could be acknowledged as a member of the Gu family. However, it was a troublesome matter for Gu Zheng.

Gu Weiming nodded in satisfaction, his eyes filled with pride.

“While everyone is here, I announce that from today onward, Gu Corporation’s shares and assets will be handed to my son, Lu Yan. He’s the only heir of the Gu family!”

The voice was spread to every corner of the hall through the microphone. Everyone could not help but tremble. Then, they looked at Gu Zheng.

A big businessman who had worked with the Gu family for many years tried to persuade Gu Weiming. “Chairman Gu, it’s indeed a good thing that you have a wife and found your child from many years ago, but you can’t rush the matter of choosing the heir.”

“The Gu family’s heir now is President Gu. If it weren’t for President Gu, Gu Corporation wouldn’t have risen so quickly in just a few years. If you change the heir now, won’t it be…”

Everyone also tried to persuade him. “That’s right, Chairman Gu. Let’s discuss this matter again.”

“If Gu Corporation loses President Gu, the consequences will be very serious. Why don’t we find another position for Lu Yan first? He’s still young, after all…”
