Chapter 833: Send Him To Prison
Looking at the Lu family’s expression, Qiao Xi, who was at the side, had already lost her patience. She snorted coldly. “Lu Yan has never seen Han Ye at all, much less obtained Han Ye’s permission. That’s why he doesn’t know Han Ye. Coincidentally, Gu Zheng realized that his work was being privately used by someone else. Shouldn’t he exercise his legal rights to protect his interests? It turns out that in the eyes of the Lu family, anyone who hurts the Lu family’s interests is selfish? How laughable!”
“Qiao Xi!” Old Master Lu was unable to restrain his anger.
His entire body trembled as fear surged in his heart. If news of this got out, the entire business world would despise the Lu family. The Lu family, which was already in a precarious situation, would definitely encounter an unprecedented crisis.
However, how did Gu Zheng become Han Ye? He was treated as an illegitimate child the moment he was born and was despised by everyone. He was left in Maple Garden to fend for himself when he was young. Even his parents hated him. Moreover, how could a person who was about to die from poison become a top figure in the oil painting world?
Back then, they firmly believed that Gu Zheng would not live past the age of six, so they agreed to swap children with Huang Lilan. They wanted to focus on nurturing Lu Yan for him to inherit the family business in the future. However, they did not expect that not only did Gu Zheng survive, but he also founded Gu Corporation from scratch.
Now that Gu Corporation had become the leading company in C Nation, Gu Zheng had also become a famous figure in the business world. Not only that, but he also had more influence in the art world. It could be said that he could command hundreds of people.
On the other hand, Lu Yan had the outstanding resources of the Gu and Lu families, but he was still stuck at the same spot. It was very difficult for him to even continue managing Lu Corporation.
Old Master Lu’s heart ached. At this moment, he was badly regretting it. If he had chosen Gu Zheng back then, would the outcome have been different? However, there was no turning back now. Gu Zheng already knew what the Lu family had done and would not favor them anymore. Now, he could only place all his hopes on Lu Yan and hope that Lu Yan could make a comeback one day.
They could not fall out with Gu Zheng now. No matter what, they had to get him to withdraw the lawsuit. Otherwise, Lu Corporation would suffer irreversible losses.
Old Master Lu was silent for a moment before squeezing out a flattering smile. “Ah Zheng—”
Gu Zheng’s long fingers stroked the wine glass as he slowly looked up. His cold voice interrupted Old Master Lu’s words. “I have two requests. First, Lu Corporation has to destroy all the perfume bottles with my work printed on it. Second, Lu Corporation has to compensate me for the infringement fees at three times the authorized price.
“Otherwise, what Lu Yan has to pay with isn’t money but his future and reputation. The Lu family has nurtured Lu Yan for more than 20 years. We can’t just watch him go to jail, right, Chairman Lu?”
Boom!!!
......
Lu Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
Gu Zheng! What right did he have?
Old Master Lu was so angry that he felt dizzy. “Gu Zheng! You… What do you mean? Are you threatening us?”
This bastard! He had the Lu family’s bloodline, yet he still wanted the Lu family to compensate him?
Gu Zheng chuckled. “Chairman Lu, you already understand, so why ask? Let me tell you again that I want the Lu family’s compensation. Otherwise, I’ll see you in court.”
“Gu Zheng! You’re fooling around!” Old Master Lu was so angry that his beard was trembling. He slammed his walking cane on the floor. “How unfilial!”
A bastard who was hated by his parents still dared to be so arrogant?
Old Master Lu’s breathing was heavy, and his face was purple. Lu Yan hurriedly went forward to support him, then turned to look at Gu Zheng. “President Gu, you’re from the Lu family, after all. Why do you have to—”
“Young Master Lu, my surname isn’t Lu. Besides, do you think I’m from the Lu family?”
At this moment, Qiao Xi walked forward, her eyes filled with coldness. “Young Master Lu, now that everyone knows that Ah Zheng is Miss Lu Qingyun’s son, what’s your identity as the child who once called himself Miss Lu Qingyun’s child? Why is Huang Lilan so good to you? Why would she rather bear everything herself than let you be tainted?
“Don’t treat everyone as a fool. Everyone knows your identity. You’re just a puppet nurtured by the Lu family. Now that you’ve damaged Gu Zheng’s rights, he has the right to sue you. What right do you have to ask him to let you off?”
Qiao Xi clicked her tongue. “We don’t need the money. In any case, we husband and wife and don’t lack money. It’s useless to ask for compensation of just a couple billions. Why don’t we just send Young Master Lu to jail? It’s such a large case. I wonder how many years Young Master Lu will be sentenced to?”
