Chapter 293: The Gu Family’s Successor
Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan doted on Gu Yao very much, so they hurriedly waved at him to come downstairs. “Ah Yao, quickly call him ‘Brother’!”
Gu Yao: “…?”
In terms of bloodline, he should indeed call Lu Yan ‘elder brother’, but was there a mistake? Was it normal for a mistress to be so passionate about her first wife’s son?
Gu Yao was in a dilemma. In the end, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and called out obediently, “Brother.”
Gu Weiming immediately broke into a smile and said to Lu Xiang, “Please take care of Ah Yan.”
Lu Xiang sized up Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan. Lu Qingyun’s life was ruined by these two people, so she was grateful to them.
“Brother-in-law, it’s only right I take care of Ah Yan.”
Gu Yao was enlightened. “This is Eldest Miss Lu’s younger sister?”
Lu Xiang said warmly, “Ah Yao is really talented. I’m really envious of Madam Gu for having such an outstanding child.”
Huang Lilan was overjoyed. “Yes, Ah Yao has always been very sensible.”
Gu Yao thought that the atmosphere was very strange. He could not help it anymore. Who did not know how to act crazy?
“Miss Lu, you’re Eldest Miss Lu’s younger sister. You clearly know that my mother is the third party here, so why are you still so passionate? I remember that your Lu family can’t wait to kill Gu Zheng. I thought you couldn’t wait to kill my mother as well. My mother became the third party and indirectly caused Eldest Miss Lu’s death. Shouldn’t you hate her?”
…
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop in the living room.
Huang Lilan’s expression was ashen as she clenched her fists.
However, Lu Xiang remained calm. “That’s all in the past. Besides, my sister was a little boring. It’s normal for Brother-in-law not to like her. Since they don’t have any feelings for each other, how were they supposed to maintain their marriage? It’s reasonable for Madam Gu to marry Brother-in-law.”
Huang Lilan quickly said, “That’s right, Miss Lu is so sensible.”
Gu Yao widened his eyes in disbelief.
Was Lu Xiang Eldest Miss Lu’s biological sister?
She did not feel sorry for Eldest Miss Lu at all and even thought that it was only right for his mother to be the third party. Was she even blaming her sister for not being able to control her man?
“Lu Yan has something important to discuss with the Gu family. Ah Yao, listen to it as well.” Gu Weiming changed the topic.
Gu Yao looked at Gu Weiming, equally shocked.
Gu Weiming said, “It’s the old master’s birthday in a few days. At that time, I’ll announce that Lu Yan is my son and the heir of the Gu family. Gu Corporation will be handed to him to manage.”
“Ah Yao…” Gu Weiming was stunned for a moment. “You’re still a child. You can’t manage the family’s business well, but you can inherit 20% of the family’s shares. It’s enough for you to live a carefree life.
“Lu Yan, as Ah Yao’s elder brother, you must take care of your younger brother in the future.”
Lu Yan curled his lips. “Okay.”
Sweat broke out on Gu Yao’s forehead. He had never thought of inheriting the family business because he was an illegitimate child. He also did not want to be tied down by the family’s affairs, but the sudden 20% of shares was enough to shock him.
Never mind living a carefree life, even his son and grandson would probably be able to squander away that money.
Gu Yao hesitated for a moment before suddenly breaking the harmonious atmosphere. “Um… If the Gu family’s heir is Lu Yan, then what about Gu Zheng?”
…
The living room was eerily quiet.
Huang Lilan and Lu Xiang’s expressions darkened.
Gu Weiming frowned. “Gu Zheng is an illegitimate child. He has no right to be the heir!”
Huang Lilan chimed in, “Ah Yao, it’s good that you’re close to Gu Zheng, but the Gu family has to be handed to Sister Qingyun’s son to inherit. How could we hand it to an illegitimate child?”
Gu Weiming nodded. “Ah Yao, your mother is right. Lu Yan is the child of Qingyun and me. The Gu family should be handed to him to inherit. This way, the entire Gu family will accept it. Gu Zheng is just an illegitimate child. He has no right to inherit the Gu family. Moreover, Lu Yan has already forgotten about the past and is willing to return to the Gu family. I have to compensate him!”
Hearing his father’s words, Gu Yao muttered softly, “Gu Zheng is the one who made the Gu Corporation so prosperous today. Leaving it to Lu Yan…”
“Gu Corporation belongs to the Gu family! Gu Zheng has only contributed a little to the original foundation. He has already received enough.. Next, the corporation should be handed to Lu Yan to manage!”
