Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 836 - Want An Apology

Chapter 836: Want An Apology

The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth slowly curled up, while the Lu family’s faces were still pale. They were thinking about how to persuade Gu Zheng.

Qiao Xi said casually, “Second Miss Lu, do you have a grudge against Lu Yan? He clearly didn’t have to go to jail, but you made things worse by causing a scene.”

The higher-ups of Lu Corporation looked at Lu Xiang angrily. They did not really care about Lu Yan, but Lu Yan was now the acting president of Lu Corporation. He represented Lu Corporation’s image. If he went to jail, Lu Corporation’s reputation would be completely ruined.

At this moment, a higher-up broke down and begged, “President Gu, we’re willing to destroy all the perfumes and compensate at twice the price. We’ll give you a total of 1.8 billion!”

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. The Lu family had gone from asking them to withdraw the lawsuit to letting them still sell the perfumes to compensating 1.8 billion. Now, they had decided to destroy all the perfumes and would still compensate them 1.8 billion.

The Lu family’s constant concessions meant that they no longer had the confidence. Originally, they could still rely on selling the perfumes to recover a portion of their capital. Now, they had reluctantly given up.

Gu Zheng ignored the higher-up’s words and continued holding Qiao Xi’s hand as they slowly walked out of the banquet hall.

Everyone stopped breathing. The air around them seemed to have frozen. They had already given in to him to this extent, so why was President Gu still not satisfied?

The higher-ups of Lu Corporation looked terrified. “President Gu, what else do you want?”

Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and turned around to glance at everyone. She chuckled. “Ah Zheng has never made demands. He doesn’t lack money and isn’t interested in that 1.8 billion. He doesn’t have time to go to court with Lu Yan either. He’s only unwilling to forgive the Lu family because of Second Miss Lu’s words.”

She said unhurriedly, then looked at Lu Xiang casually.

“Why don’t we just get Lu Xiang to apologize?! As long as Second Miss Lu is sincere, Ah Zheng might withdraw the lawsuit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter to us. Whether we sue or not depends on our mood. Whether you apologize or not depends on you.”

......

Qiao Xi’s words instantly caused a commotion. Everyone had different expressions, but most of them were angry, especially Second Miss Lu. Her expression was gloomy like ink, and her hands could not help but tremble.

Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that the couple really did not care. The more Qiao Xi did not care, the angrier Lu Xiang became.

Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and did not care about what she said at all. He looked at her with doting eyes. “Is the food here not to your liking? I’ll get the chef to prepare a new table of food for you when we get home.”

The two of them chatted casually as if no one was around. They did not care about the Lu family at all.

“Chairman… Chairman Lu!” The higher-up of Lu Corporation’s voice trembled as they looked at Old Master Lu in despair. They hoped that he could stand up and take charge of the situation. Otherwise, Lu Corporation would be destroyed in Lu Yan’s hands.

Old Master Lu’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his old face was filled with malevolence. His gaze was filled with anger and disgust, but he still had to humble himself to please Gu Zheng.

Seeing that Old Master Lu was silent, the higher-ups of Lu Corporation looked at Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang was already in her 40s. Her relations.h.i.+p with her husband was not harmonious. Hence, she often stayed with the Lu family. Now that she had caused a commotion in the Lu family and angered President Gu, she wanted all of them to bear the consequences.

The banquet hall was silent for two minutes. Finally, someone could not help but say, “If Eldest Miss Lu was still alive, how could President Gu…”

Lu Qingyun was Gu Zheng’s biological mother. If she were still alive, why would President Gu target the Lu family? Even if he did not have any feelings for the Lu family, he still had to care about Lu Qingyun’s reputation.

Hearing everyone mention Lu Qingyun, Lu Xiang’s expression changed. She gritted her teeth. That familiar feeling had returned!

Back then, when Lu Qingyun was still alive, everyone said that Eldest Miss Lu was gentle and generous. They said that she was indeed the daughter of a socialite. Lu Qingyun kept overshadowing her. Now that so many years had pa.s.sed, Lu Qingyun’s son was actually making things difficult for her in public and asking her to apologize?

What right did Gu Zheng have?

Old Madam Lu was so angry that she felt dizzy. Back then, after she became a mistress, she and Lu Xiang suppressed Lu Qingyun. After Lu Qingyun died, they controlled the entire Lu family. They thought that no one would threaten them anymore.

However, who knew that Lu Qingyun, this weak woman, would give birth to an outstanding son? Gu Zheng was controlling the entire Li City’s economy at such a young age.

Since they did not lower their heads to Lu Qingyun back then, they would not lower their heads to Gu Zheng now!
