Chapter 1171: Every Man For Himself
“Young Master Lu, you’ve always thought that you were in the wrong. It’s not your fault that you and Gu Zheng were swapped, but you clearly knew Gu Zheng’s identity, yet you joined forces with Huang Lilan to torture him and attempted to kill him. Isn’t this your fault?” Qiao Xi questioned loudly.
Lu Yan’s face was pale, and he was about to break down.
“Every man for himself, Qiao Xi! If you were in my position, you would’ve been as unscrupulous as me. Who’d be willing to give up everything that was painstakingly obtained?”
“No!” Qiao Xi retorted without the slightest hesitation and said word by word, “You’re the only one who’s so vicious. Do you think everyone is like you? You relied on the Lu family’s power to obtain money and status, so you wanted to continue occupying the nest. Moreover, you even wanted to kill Gu Zheng to prevent future troubles. Do you still think you’ve been doing the right thing?
“Lu Yan, if it were a normal person, they would feel guilty and regretful at this moment. They wouldn’t be arguing about how innocent they are. You and Huang Lilan are both selfish demons. You only have yourself in your eyes!”
At this moment, the audience in the live-stream could not help but discuss: [I’m really going to vomit! Lu Yan actually thinks that he’s not wrong and that others are just like him!]
[If I knew that I had occupied someone else’s identity, I would definitely feel guilty and do my best to obtain the other party’s forgiveness so that I could return to my own life. What right does Lu Yan have to say that we’re like him?]
[Lu Yan is too disgusting! He clearly did something wrong, yet he’s still pushing the responsibility onto others. Not everyone is as selfish and vicious as him!]
Lu Yan collapsed weakly in the wheelchair, his face as pale as paper. Everything was clearly according to his plan. He wanted to chase Gu Zheng out of the Lu family and make him lose the qualifications to compete for the position of heir, but why was he the one who lost everything now?!
“Young Master Lu!” Qiao Xi walked in front of him and bent down slightly. She lowered her voice and said, “Don’t forget that you poisoned Old Master Lu! Don’t be too arrogant, or you’ll be courting death!
“Perhaps you and Huang Lilan have done too many bad things, so God is helping Ah Zheng seek justice. I hope you can live with regret for the rest of your life!”
Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, “You were the one who started the live broadcast!”
Qiao Xi blinked innocently. “You’re wrongly accusing me here. I didn’t start the live broadcast. Perhaps a kind person couldn’t stand it anymore and made your crimes public!”
“Qiao Xi! I know your identity!” Lu Yan shouted heartbreakingly.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and exuded cold killing intent.
“Young Master Lu, what do you mean? Why don’t I understand?” Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows with an indifferent expression.
“You’re the disciple of the divine physician!” Lu Yan laughed crazily. “Qiao Xi, I’ve already said that I’m your fiance. Why did you marry Gu Zheng? Why did you betray me?”
Qiao Xi’s gaze turned cold as she frowned with disgust. “It’s not even nighttime yet, but you’re already talking in your sleep!”
“If you don’t believe me, ask the divine physician when he comes back if the person you were engaged to back then was me or Gu Zheng.”
“So what?” Qiao Xi had a disdainful expression as her cold gaze landed on him. “Grandpa has always doted on me. How could he agree to marry me to someone like you? Even if I was really engaged to you, it must have been because Grandpa was deceived by you. The fiance Grandpa found for me is Madam Lu Qingyun’s biological son, while you’re just an illegitimate child. Moreover, Gu Zheng is more handsome and capable than you. Anyone with good taste will choose him. When Grandpa comes back, he’ll definitely think that the husband I’ve chosen is outstanding.”
“Shut up!” Lu Yan roared like a wild beast.
“Oh! You’re angry from embarrassment, huh? You can’t accept others praising Gu Zheng for being better than you? But this is the truth!” Qiao Xi looked at him with a smile, then took out her phone and clicked on the live broadcast. “The netizens in the live broadcast think so too!”
At this moment, the screen of the live-stream was filled with curses. [Gu Zheng is more handsome and richer than Lu Yan! Mrs. Gu is right!]
Lu Yan’s eyes were bloodshot as if he was about to vomit blood from anger.
“Young Master Lu, do you think you’re qualified to be compared to Ah Zheng?” Qiao Xi sneered, her tone extremely disdainful. “In the past, you were the young master of the Lu family, so you could show off in front of Ah Zheng. Now that your true identity has been exposed, what can you use to compare yourself to Ah Zheng?”
The moment that was said, Lu Yan instantly gasped and almost fainted.
