Chapter 1133: Can I Have Both?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Master Lu valued his reputation and had always maintained the image of a great father. Hence, he announced to the public that he was afraid of messing the place up, so he did not dare to step into Yun Court again. He also did not allow anyone to disturb Lu Qingyun’s former home. Now, the Lu family actually let Gu Zheng stay there. What did this mean?

Qiao Xi grunted lightly. “Chairman Lu actually arranged for you to stay in Eldest Miss Lu’s former residence. It sounds like a reasonable arrangement. Even if outsiders know that you’re not staying in the main residence, they won’t think that the Lu family is treating you badly.

“But outsiders don’t know what Yun Court is like now. That villa has been abandoned for 20 years. There’s probably a thick layer of dust on everything. There won’t even be a clean bed or sofa. How can we stay there?!”

Gu Zheng’s expression was indifferent. “This wasn’t arranged by the old master. It was Lu Xiang’s idea.”

Qiao Xi nodded and instantly understood. “Old Master Lu is such a smart person. He won’t allow himself to be gossiped about like this. A few years ago, he announced to the public that because he missed Lu Qingyun too much, he wouldn’t set foot in Yun Court anymore and sealed it. He didn’t allow anyone to enter. Now that the door of Yun Court has opened 20 years later, it’ll definitely be very dilapidated and desolate. How will she explain herself once someone figures out what she did?

“Lu Xiang actually used such a boring method to deal with you. She’s really brainless.”

Gu Zheng’s expression remained indifferent. “She’s naturally not as smart as you. Let’s go in.”

“We’re really staying here?” Qiao Xi was slightly surprised. “Ah Zheng, aren’t you angry at all that they’re asking you to stay here?”

Gu Zheng did not answer. Instead, he held Qiao Xi’s hand and walked to the door of Yun Court. At this moment, the voices of a few people came from another courtyard.

“I heard that the Gu family’s illegitimate child is also coming to the Lu family to pay respects to our ancestors. How embarra.s.sing!”

Another person replied, “What are you talking about?! He has already proved his innocence. He’s Lu Qingyun’s son!”

“Who would believe that?! Everyone knows that he’s rich. Isn’t it very easy to fake a certificate? Lu Qingyun’s only son is Brother Lu Yan. However, that illegitimate child also wants to compete with Brother Lu Yan for the position of heir? So what if he’s really from the Lu family? If we don’t admit it, he’ll never be able to enter the ancestral hall. He’ll never be qualified to be the heir of the Lu family!”

“I heard that Aunt Lu Xiang said that she won’t let him pay his respects to our ancestors!”

On the other side of the wall was the courtyard of another villa. There were probably a few young masters from the Lu branch family chatting together. One of them asked, “Is the old master still unconscious?”

“Yes! I heard that he was poisoned. Could it be that it was really Gu Zheng who did it? He’s too vicious! He’ll even go as far as to kill his own grandfather!”

“He has always been vicious and merciless. Otherwise, how could he have established Gu Corporation in just 10 years? Previously, Mrs. Gu even said that the Lu family deliberately publicized the old master’s illness in order to frame Gu Zheng and that the old master was pretending to be sick. Now, it seems that it’s clearly Gu Zheng’s doing!”

Qiao Xi clenched her fists tightly and wished for nothing more than to jump over the wall and beat them up.

Gu Zheng rubbed her cheek comfortingly and said casually, “Let’s enter Yun Court first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them entered the courtyard. Qiao Xi originally thought that the courtyard would be desolate and it would be a heartbreaking sight when they pushed the door open. She originally thought that she would definitely clean the place up tonight before going to bed. Unexpectedly, the courtyard was clean and tidy.

The pavilion in the courtyard was very clean. There was even a small floral tablecloth on the stone table and thick cus.h.i.+ons on the chairs. The small garden was also planted with flowers. When they entered the villa, the furniture and floor were all very clean. The air even emitted a faint floral fragrance that made one feel relaxed.

Qiao Xi was extremely shocked. “Ah Zheng, what’s going on?”

“I already guessed that Lu Xiang would arrange for us to stay here, so I sent someone to clean the place up,” Gu Zheng said casually, then smiled. “Mrs. Gu, do you still like the main residence?”

Qiao Xi sized up the villa in front of her. Miss Lu Qingyun was very talented in design. Although this villa was not big, it was exquisite enough and made one feel very warm. The main residence, although it was indeed very big and imposing, it lacked the feeling of a home.

Moreover, there were many Lu family members living in the main residence who revolted against her. Her mood would probably be affected if she stayed there, but if those people moved out, she still wanted to go to the main residence to experience it.

Hence, she thought for a while and came to a conclusion. “I like both. Can I have both?”

Gu Zheng could not help but laugh as he gently pulled her into his arms. His magnetic voice came from above her head. “Sure. As long as my Xi Xi wants it, I’ll do my best to satisfy her.”
