Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 216: Gu Zheng’s Life Experience

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Song Shiyu’s heart thumped. Someone had asked the president this before, and they met a terrible end.

Unexpectedly, Young Madam asked the question so directly. She was too straightforward!

Gu Zheng sneered and slowly looked up at her.

“What do you think?”

Qiao Xi was instantly speechless. The man was avoiding her question.

She could not help but think of the two of them. Back then, he was Mo Yuan while she was Black Tide. Before the two of them met, she would often look for him to have a heart-to-heart talk about her sorrows. She once said that she was bullied by her stepmother and chased out of the house. She had no home to go back to.

Mo Yuan replied: [I’m the same as you.]

Qiao Xi: [Not only am I homeless, but my mother has also passed away.]

Mo Yuan: [Mine too.]

Qiao Xi was not sure if Mo Yuan did not have a home or if his mother had passed away. Or both?

Back then, when Qiao Xi was homeless and did not even have enough to eat, it was Mo Yuan who helped her. He gave her money and arranged a place for her to stay.

All these years, the two of them had supported each other. She was very grateful to Mo Yuan. Now that she knew that Gu Zheng was Mo Yuan, her relationship with him had not changed.

Gu Zheng had been treated as an illegitimate child by everyone since he was young. He was despised and cursed by countless people. However, she did not think that Gu Zheng was what they made him out to be.

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

Song Shiyu stood at the side, his pupils trembling. He could not help but say, “Young Madam, the president…”

Before he could finish, the cup in Gu Zheng’s hand suddenly fell to the floor. A painful memory surged in his mind as sharp pain assaulted him.

Song Shiyu jumped in shock and rushed over. “President, President? Brother! Help the president upstairs!”

Qiao Xi hurried forward but was stopped by Song Shijing. “Young Madam, are you that curious about whether the president is Madam Gu’s biological son?”

Then, Song Shijing looked serious as he said slowly, “But what’s the point even if the president is Madam Gu’s biological son?”

Qiao Xi asked in confusion, “Why is it meaningless? If Gu Zheng isn’t Madam Gu’s biological son, then he isn’t an illegitimate child. Madam Gu…”

“If the president isn’t Madam Gu’s child, who else could his mother be?”

Song Shijing said helplessly, “Young Madam, you’re very smart. You should know how difficult it is for the president to prove all this and how many people’s interests will be violated.”

Qiao Xi frowned.

Actually, she had long thought that Gu Zheng was not Madam Gu’s biological son but Lu Qingyun’s.

If Gu Zheng was not a child of the Gu family, Madam Gu only needed to announce his true identity to chase him out. However, Madam Gu was so afraid of Gu Zheng, which meant that Gu Zheng was most likely the child of Lu Qingyun and Chairman Gu.

However, why did he not look for the Lu family? If the Lu family knew…

“I know you want to ask why the president hasn’t looked for the Lu family. Of course, he did when he was young.”

Song Shijing explained, “The president wanted to save himself and take a paternity test with Madam Gu. However, the old master of the Lu family was seriously ill at that time. After Madam Lu passed away, who in the Lu family would care about him?”

“After that, they adopted Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan? The heir of the Lu family. Rumor had it that he was Lu Qingyun’s child.

Qiao Xi’s nose turned sore. “Why didn’t the Lu family do a paternity test? Lu Yan isn’t from the Lu family, they…”

Song Shijing said helplessly, “Of course, the Lu family had already investigated it. They also know who the parents of the president are, but the grudge between the two families was established the moment Miss Lu died. It won’t change just because of the Gu family, nor will it affect the Lu family’s reputation.”

Qiao Xi gasped.

She finally understood.

Although the Lu family now knew Gu Zheng’s identity, he had appeared in front of the public as Madam Gu’s child and had been in the Gu family for so long.

If they told everyone now that Gu Zheng was Lu Qingyun’s biological son, the world would be turned upside down.

Firstly, everyone would wonder how Lu Qingyun’s child ended up in the hands of the mistress. Was it because the Lu family was too useless?

A wealthy family like the Lu family would never allow such negative news to spread. Hence, they would rather not acknowledge Gu Zheng and sever all ties with him..
