MINE ALONE - Season 4 Episode 79

Madam Gu was very enthusiastic. “Ah Zheng, I heard that you angered your father the moment you came back. Your father is old and can’t handle provocation. Don’t always go against him. As a son, you should listen to your father.”

When Qiao Xi heard Madam Gu’s words, she was instantly infuriated. She only felt a storm surge in her heart, and her eyes burned with anger.

Madam Gu was really a smiling tiger! Among these people, she was the most shameless one!

Qiao Xi snorted coldly, then squeezed out a few drops of tears as she said sorrowfully, “Ah Zheng, I advised you not to go back to the old residence. Look! When you came back, your father beat you up and your mother started criticizing you as soon as she entered.

“Most people know that Madam Gu is your mother, but those who don’t might even think that Lu Yan is Madam Gu’s biological son. Why is she siding with outsiders?!”

Huang Lilan gasped. “Qiao Xi, I’m talking to Ah Zheng. What does it have to do with you?”

Qiao Xi took a few steps back in horror and said aggrievedly, “I’m sorry, Madam Gu. I just feel sorry for Ah Zheng. Logically speaking, as Ah Zheng’s mother, you should first express concern over his injuries after knowing that he was beaten by the chairman. How could you bear to blame him?”

Huang Lilan was instantly furious. “This is the Gu family’s matter. What does it have to do with you?! Didn’t Weiming already make himself clear? As long as Ah Zheng gives that plot of land to Lu Yan, everyone will get a happy ending. Why is he still unwilling, then? He deserves to be beaten up!”

Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing.

She glanced indifferently at Lu Yan and asked in disbelief, “He deserves it?”

“So, it’s because of that plot of land that the chairman hit Ah Zheng?” Qiao Xi cried. “Madam Gu, you’re actually forcing your biological son for an outsider?”

Huang Lilan was extremely angry and said without thinking, “So what? Qiao Xi, you should persuade Ah Zheng as well. Weiming and I are doing this for his own good. Gu Corporation has already reached its peak and there’s no more room for development. Why don’t we give a portion of the resources to Lu Yan? It’ll also be good for the Gu family’s reputation.

“Moreover, our Gu family has always owed the Lu family. This is a good opportunity to make it up to Lu Yan. When that time comes, everyone in Li City will say that Ah Zheng is kind and benevolent. How good would that be?!”

Qiao Xi glanced at Gu Zheng who was lying on the bed. His expression was calm, and his eyes were deep as if he hadn’t heard Huang Lilan’s words.

However, Qiao Xi’s heart was still bitter. Why did Gu Zheng have to give in to Lu Yan? It was clearly Lu Yan who snatched away the identity that originally belonged to Gu Zheng. Now, he even wanted to snatch away the Gu Corporation that was founded by Gu Zheng.

Qiao Xi was silent for a moment before raising her eyes to sweep everyone with her cold gaze. She said in a meaningful tone, “Everyone in Li City knows how important that plot of land in the northern suburbs is to Gu Corporation. For the sake of this plot of land, Gu Corporation even made detailed plans and investments. If the Lu family has also made so many preparations, then let’s compete fairly!

“Gu Zheng and Lu Yan are not related, so why should he give up such an important plot of land to Lu Yan? Could it be that Young Master Lu doesn’t have any money anymore? If you don’t have the ability, don’t attempt to take on the challenge. You should just take the initiative to give up. Why are you forcing Gu Zheng to give up? Is there something wrong with you?!”

Lu Yan’s expression was calm, but Huang Lilan roared, “Qiao Xi! Shut up!”

“What’s wrong? Am I wrong? If I remember correctly, Young Master Lu and Gu Zheng are both about the same age. How can Gu Zheng have such wealth and why doesn’t Young Master Lu have any?

“Madam Gu and Chairman Gu are willing to beat and scold their biological son in order to help Young Master Lu bid for that plot of land. What kind of spell did Young Master Lu cast on the two elders? Why did they start scheming when they realized they can’t win?”

…

Song Shijing gasped. Young Madam was really awesome!

Huang Lilan had been Madam Gu for so many years, and no one in the entire Gu family dared to provoke her. Now that she was ridiculed by Qiao Xi, her breathing instantly quickened as she held back her anger. “Y-You! This has nothing to do with you!”

“I’m Gu Zheng’s wife. How does this have nothing to do with me? I just want to remind you that Gu Zheng is your biological son.. What’s Young Master Lu’s relationship with you?”
