Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Huang Lilan’s eyes were filled with hatred as she screamed crazily, “Qiao Xi! Shut up! Ah Yan and I~”

“Miss Qiao is right.”

Lu Yan’s calm voice interrupted Huang Lilan’s words.

He was cold and distant. There seemed to be a hint of hatred in his eyes as he looked at Huang Lilan. “Madam Gu killed my mother. Of course, I can’t be close to Madam Gu anymore.”

The expression on Huang Lilan’s face immediately froze, and the blood in her body seemed to have turned to ice.

Lu Yan smiled lightly. “Thank you, Miss Qiao and President Gu, for helping me find the murderer who killed my mother. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I would’ve continued to be deceived by Madam Gu.”

Huang Lilan’s body went soft as her mind went blank. She just stared at Lu Yan in a daze, her eyes filled with shock.

She had plotted everything for Ah Yan’s inheritance. She had done her best to let him become the heir, but in the end, she was actually despised by her own son?

Qiao Xi said meaningfully, “Mr. Lu, you’re truly heartless!”

Huang Lilan was very vicious, but she was really good to Lu Yan. Who would have thought that Lu Yan would step on his biological mother in order to clear the suspicions surrounding their relationship?

Qiao Xi sighed in her heart. Lu Yan was truly a ruthless character. He could even sacrifice his own mother for the sake of success.

Lu Yan turned his face away. “Miss Qiao, you’re too kind. I only understand now that Madam Gu had planned to get close to me from the start. Now that the truth is out, I naturally have to keep a distance from my enemy. If I continue to have dealings with Madam Gu, what will my mother in heaven think

of me? Therefore, Madam Gu probably understands my decision too.”

The last sentence was a warning to Huang Lilan to not expose them.

Huang Lilan suddenly regained her senses and quickly calmed down. Although she was upset, she could only endure it for the sake of her son. She could not let anyone see through their plot.

She was Gu Zheng’s biological mother and had nothing to do with Lu Yan. She definitely could not make things difficult for Lu Yan.

Huang Lilan bit her lip tightly with a ferocious expression. It was not easy for her to swallow her anger. Her heart was filled with anger, but she did not dare to say a word.

Seeing her forbearance, Qiao Xi’s heart ached for Gu Zheng.

Huang Lilan was too selfish. As a mother, could she resort to unscrupulous means just for her son?

From a young age, Gu Zheng had lived his life carefully. He listened to Huang Lilan’s every word and thought that his sincerity would earn him his mother’s pity, but she never cared.

On the other hand, for the sake of benefits, Lu Yan publicly cut ties with her and kicked her while she was down. Even so, Huang Lilan did not mention a word and took all the blame.

Qiao Xi sneered, “Chairman Gu, the Lu family now knows that Huang Lilan killed Eldest Miss Lu. If you still want to cooperate with the Lu family and bring Lu Yan back to the Gu family, shouldn’t you chase this murderer out of the house first?”

“Qiao Xi!” Huang Lilan’s expression changed as she gritted her teeth. “What exactly do you want?”

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with innocence. “Why are you so anxious? I’m just saying. If the Lu family doesn’t pursue this matter, then it’s none of my business. It’s the Lu family’s business.”

Old Master Lu clenched his fists, his face ashen.

Qiao Xi’s goal had been achieved. After saying those words, if the Lu family continued to cooperate with the Gu family, then it would mean that they didn’t care about the dead Eldest Miss Lu at all. Therefore, in order to facilitate the alliance between the two families, one person must be sacrificed.

The guests did not expect such an incident to happen when they were only here for a birthday banquet.

Miss Qiao was right. If Chairman Gu didn’t kick Huang Lilan out of the house but the Lu family still did business with the Gu family and agreed to send Lu Yan back to the Gu family, that meant that they were lying when they said they cared about Eldest Miss Lu.

“Huang Lilan is just a two-faced mistress! Pah! She did something wrong and even maligned President Gu. How can such a woman continue to stay in the Gu family?”

“Why do I feel that it’s quite difficult for the Lu family to get Chairman Gu and Huang Lilan to divorce?”

“Could it be that Eldest Miss Lu’s death was seemingly triggered by Huang Lilan, but in reality…”

‘When Old Master Lu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He slammed the table and roared, “Get a divorce immediately! How can the murderer who killed my daughter continue to stay in the Gu family?!”

Gu Weiming’s expression changed as he quickly protected Huang Lilan.

Huang Lilan was panting heavily, and her face was pale. Then, her eyes rolled back and she fainted..
