Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 837 - A Pauper Can Never Become A Princess

Chapter 837: A Pauper Can Never Become A Princess

Old Madam Lu’s eyes were filled with resentment as she roared unwillingly, “Gu Zheng! Xiang’er is your aunt, yet you…”
“If she’s Ah Zheng’s biological aunt, then he should indeed call her ‘Aunt’. But what right does the daughter of a mistress have to be Gu Zheng’s aunt?”
Qiao Xi interrupted Old Madam Lu indifferently, then snorted coldly. “It’s fine if you don’t want to apologize, but why are you trying to claim kinship? Chairman Lu, I need to remind you of something. Three months ago, Lu Yan and Yao Mengqing made a bet with me. Young Master Lu bet on two percent of Lu Corporation’s shares.
“It just so happens that I won that bet, so I’m also a shareholder of Lu Corporation now. If Lu Yan is sued, I’ll sell these shares. At that time, it’ll be very disadvantageous for Chairman Lu to gather back the shares. However, it seems that Old Madam Lu and Second Miss Lu don’t care at all.”
The higher-ups of Lu Corporation subconsciously looked at Lu Yan. He actually used the shares of the company as a bet and lost to Qiao Xi?
Old Madam Lu was not cultured to begin with, let alone know about company matters. She shouted like a shrew, “Qiao Xi! What right do you have to ask Xiang’er to apologize? No matter what, she’s an elder. You need to show some respect for our status here!”
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that although Qiao Xi only held two percent of the shares, if Lu Yan really went to jail, the shareholders would all sell their shares. It would be difficult for Old Master Lu to gather back the shares then. At that time, Gu Zheng would definitely buy the shares at a high price. Once his shares surpassed the Lu family’s, Lu Corporation would completely belong to him.
There was only one way to get Gu Zheng to withdraw the lawsuit, and that was to get Lu Xiang to apologize.
Old Master Lu suddenly looked up at Lu Xiang fiercely.
At this moment, Lu Xiang was still calm. She knew that the old master doted on her. He had never been able to say harsh words to her, not since she was young. How could he ask her to apologize to Gu Zheng?
She did not care about Qiao Xi’s words at all. Unexpectedly, when she raised her head, she suddenly met Old Master Lu’s vicious gaze. She was terrified to the point her entire body trembled. “Dad, you…”
Before she could finish, Old Master Lu slammed his walking cane on the floor. He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth. “Lu Xiang, apologize to Ah Zheng!”
His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, while his heart was filled with humiliation. He used this tone to tell everyone that he was unconvinced, but he had no choice but to lower his head.
......
Suddenly, the phones of everyone from Lu Corporation rang at the same time. A message appeared in front of everyone’s eyes: [The news has been confirmed. Lu Yan has been sued for copyright infringement. As he was unable to fulfill his presales promise, he’s been receiving a great number of complaints from customers. The relevant departments have already started an investigation.]
At this moment, everyone finally started to feel nervous. They knew that if they did not come up with a solution and let the matter fester, Lu Corporation would be completely destroyed.
Lu Xiang’s voice trembled with unwillingness. “Dad, why should I apologize to him? He’s just…”
She used her last bit of rationality to not say the word ‘bastard’. Then, she said indignantly, “Dad! This is Gu Zheng’s trap. He deliberately dug a hole for the Lu family. I’m unwilling to lower my head for Lu Corporation. Otherwise, how badly will the Lu family’s reputation drop?”
Bang!
A higher-up of Lu Corporation could not help but smash the wine glass and roar, “Lu Xiang! Shut up! You’re relying on the fact that you’re the only daughter of the Lu family to commit crimes! If you had a little bit of Miss Qingyun’s intelligence, you wouldn’t have caused Lu Corporation to become like this! You’re a jinx. You want to destroy the entire Lu family and make all of us go bankrupt with you!”
Old Madam Lu instantly exploded when she heard this. “Bullsh*t! What are you talking about?! Are you rebelling?! Xiang’er is the daughter of the Lu family. What does she caring about her family’s matters have to do with you?!”
The banquet hall was filled with the seniors of Lu Corporation. Many of them had dedicated their lives to Lu Corporation. Their life and death depended on the company. However, under Gu Zheng’s oppression, they gradually lost their minds.
“Do you have the right to speak? You’re just an uneducated mistress! A pauper can never become a princess. You’ve never been worthy to be the wife of the chairman. You and your daughter are both useless! Even as mistresses, you can’t keep your men! You even want to make things difficult for Eldest Miss’ biological son. Are you idiots?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes curved into crescents when she heard that person’s reprimand. She felt extremely carefree.
The people from Lu Corporation were all bad people to begin with. Now that there was an internal conflict, they revealed their true colors. They usually pretended to be harmonious, but now, for the sake of benefits, they were unwilling to give in.
