Qiao Xi glanced at Old Master Lu’s face. His face was red, and he did not look like a patient at all. She smiled lightly and nodded at the elder of the Medical Association.
After receiving Eldest Miss’ order, the elder of the Medical Association slowly said, “Actually, Old Master Lu wasn’t unconscious.”
His tone was calm, but it was like a huge rock that smashed into everyone’s hearts. What did he mean? Old Master Lu had been lying on the bed for so many days. How could he not be unconscious?
Lu Xiang’s face was pale as she suddenly looked at Lu Yan. Lu Yan was also uneasy, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Impossible! If Grandpa was not unconscious, why did he not wake up? At first, he thought that Grandpa was deliberately pretending to be sick for outsiders to see. However, when the two of them were alone, he tested him. Grandpa did not react at all. He was clearly unconscious.
“Nonsense—”
Before Lu Xiang could finish, she was interrupted by the elder, “Old Master Lu was not unconscious at all. He was just asleep. It’s just that we don’t understand why he slept for so long. So, how did Mr. Gu make Old Master Lu fall asleep?”
Lu Xiang’s face was ferocious, and the muscles on her face were contorted. If the old master was not unconscious, wouldn’t they have wronged Gu Zheng? Could it be that they really had to let Gu Zheng enter the Lu family’s ancestral hall?
She shouted crazily, “Nonsense! My father was clearly unconscious. What you said is all lies—”
“I’ve said that if you don’t believe me, you can find another doctor to diagnose the old master. If you can find a trace of poison in Old Master Lu’s body, I’ll withdraw from the Medical Association. Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe your family doctor. Why don’t you ask him?”
Everyone’s gazes landed on the family doctor. Lu Xiang rushed forward and pointed at the family doctor’s nose as she questioned, “Tell me! My father was unconscious and Gu Zheng poisoned him, right?”
The family doctor wanted to say something but hesitated. However, his silence had already explained everything. The doctor from the Medical Association had come to a conclusion, and the family doctor had also come to the same conclusion. Hence, Old Master Lu had been pretending these past few days!
“Sigh! I really didn’t expect this! Old Master Lu, you’re already so old, yet you still like to play games where you pretend to be sick! At the end of the day, it’s all because your Lu family doesn’t want Gu Zheng to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony. You even slandered him for poisoning you. You want to ruin Gu Zheng’s reputation and make him completely unqualified to compete with Lu Yan, huh?
“I remember that it was Young Master Lu who personally invited Ah Zheng and me to attend the ancestral worship ceremony that day! Now, the Lu family is trying their best to chase us away. What are you doing? The Lu family must be so bored! If you have time, why don’t you think about how to strengthen the company? Don’t always think about useless things!”
Qiao Xi’s teasing voice sounded. These words completely slapped the faces of the Lu family. All of their faces were livid. At this moment, the expression on Lu Yan’s face froze, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng, and her voice carried a trace of disdain. “Ah Zheng, in order to stop you from paying respects to your ancestors, your grandfather actually pretended to be sick to frame you! The Lu family doesn’t welcome us either. Why don’t we leave? In any case, this isn’t your fault. They shouldn’t even think about making you the scapegoat!”
The young doctor also echoed, “In the future, if there are rumors going around saying that Mr. Gu didn’t participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, feel free to look for me. I’m willing to swear on my character and professionalism that Mr. Lu wasn’t unconscious and Mr. Gu didn’t poison him!”
Lu Yan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and Old Master Lu’s ruddy face instantly turned pale. If it were not for the fact that the people from the Medical Association were present, how could Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng have had the chance to prove their innocence?
In order to stop Gu Zheng from paying respects to their ancestors, he, as the grandfather, actually pretended to be sick. If news of this got out, the Lu family would lose all their dignity.
However, he was not pretending to be sick. He had been in a daze recently and could not feel anything. Why did the doctors of the Medical Association insist that he was pretending to be unconscious?
Old Master Lu was burning with anger. Now, he did not have the time to argue. No matter what, he had to control the situation and not let this news spread. He hurriedly looked at Lu Yan and Lu Xiang.
He was the head of the Lu family, so his reputation could not be damaged in any way. Hence, someone had to take the blame, but—
Just as Old Master Lu was hesitating, Lu Yan suddenly said with a guilty expression, “President Gu, Xi Xi, I’m sorry. Actually, it’s all my fault!”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows, and Old Master Lu widened his eyes. He expected Lu Yan to give a reasonable explanation to protect his reputation.
