Chapter 382 - Sister Qiao's Show Time!

"Chairman! Chairman!" At this moment, someone rushed in.

"Something big has happened. There are a lot of… rumors online! They're saying… They're saying that you forced your biological son and even… beat up your own son for an outsider. They're claiming you've seriously injured President Gu. They're all saying… that you can't differentiate between family and friends. They're accusing you of helping outsiders."

Gu Weiming slammed the table and stood up abruptly. "Nonsense! This bastard! It must be his doing! I'll settle the score with him now!"

…

In the evening, Old Madam Gu woke up, and Qiao Xi went to visit her.

She had only been sitting for a while when her phone rang. Song Shijing said anxiously, "Young Madam! Come over at once! The chairman went to the president's room angrily with a cane!"

Qiao Xi's heart trembled, but her expression remained calm. She stood up and left the old madam's residence. She walked around the living room and squeezed out a few tears before running over while crying.

Before she reached the door, she heard Chairman Gu's angry roar.

"You were the one who spread those rumors, right? Look at how those people on the internet are scolding Lu Yan and me! You've really grown capable! You actually used such despicable methods!"

Gu Zheng's expression was indifferent. "It wasn't me."

The rumors were spread by Song Shiyu and Song Shijing, not him.

Gu Weiming was so angry that his face turned red. He had even received a few calls just now. They were all from his company. They were calling to persuade him not to be so muddle-headed.

He could not lose the entire Gu family for a groundless son.

Ignoring whose son Lu Yan was, his ability was far inferior to President Gu's. Why would he offend the Gu family's God of Fortune, Gu Zheng, for Lu Yan?

There were also some people who directly threatened Gu Weiming. If the Gu family supported Lu Yan, they would cut off all contact with the Gu family from today onward. This was because the Gu family had their glory and wealth today all because of Gu Zheng.

Gu Weiming was infuriated. Nonsense, it was all nonsense!

Qiao Xi stood outside the door and gathered her emotions. When it was time for her to make an appearance, she must make the scene bigger. It would be best if the matter blew up even more.

There was a series of crashing sounds from inside. Then, Gu Weiming roared, "You jinx!"

Qiao Xi's heart shook.

Back in the Qiao family, the Qiao family would also call her a jinx.

Gu Zheng was a jinx? How laughable. If it were not for Gu Zheng, would everyone in the Gu family be living so comfortably? Everything they ate and used was earned by Gu Zheng. Now, the chairman was actually calling Gu Zheng a jinx?

When Qiao Xi heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar, she took a deep breath and directly rushed in, letting out an urgent scream. "Ah! Chairman! No!"

This scream spread throughout the entire backyard, and everyone heard it clearly.

Qiao Xi directly rushed to Gu Zheng's side and stopped the punishment that was about to land on him. "Chairman! Stop hitting him! Ah Zheng is still injured. If you're really angry, hit me!"

Gu Weiming was shocked by Qiao Xi's scream and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, Qiao Xi rushed to Gu Zheng's side and held onto the cane tightly as she screamed.

"Chairman! You've already hit Ah Zheng today. His back is bleeding. If you hit him again, he'll die! Boo-hoo… I know you don't like Ah Zheng, but he's your son and the head of the Gu family. If he really dies, what will the Gu family do?"

Gu Zheng cooperated. "Cough, cough…"

Qiao Xi pretended to be nervous. "Hubby! What's wrong? Hang in there!"

"Chairman! I know you want Ah Zheng to give that plot of land to Lu Yan. We'll give it to him, alright? Ah Zheng, quickly agree!"

Gu Zheng's face turned pale.

Coincidentally, the Gu family was having a small banquet today. The guests were all partners of the Gu family. There were also some wealthy families and relatives of the Gu family present.

Jiang Feng had brought the guests into the inner courtyard and 'coincidentally' arrived at the backyard. He also happened to hear Qiao Xi's words.

Although he had long heard that Lu Yan was a child of the Gu family, he did not expect Gu Weiming to beat Gu Zheng for Lu Yan.
