Chapter 1555 - 1555 Another Chess Piece

1555 Another Chess Piece
Qiao Xi’s eyes suddenly turned cold as she glanced at Gu Zheng who was beside her. His eyes were calm, but Qiao Xi could clearly feel the coldness emanating from his body.
Gu Zheng looked cold to Gu Yao on the surface. He even beat him up every now and then, but Qiao Xi knew in her heart how much Gu Zheng valued his younger brother. He did not want Gu Yao to be hurt at all. During this period of time, Gu Zheng had also been secretly looking for Gu Yao’s biological parents, but there were no clues. Now that he heard Gu Weiming mention it, he should be suspecting whether Gu Weiming’s words were trustworthy.
Gu Weiming was Gu Yao’s adoptive father and the head of the Gu family at that time. Logically speaking, he would not accept a child of unknown origin, so it was very likely that he knew Gu Yao’s identity.
Gu Yao’s expression froze. He had always thought that he was just an orphan Huang Lilan had taken from the orphanage, but after hearing Gu Weiming’s words, he realized that things were not that simple.!!
“Aren’t you curious why Huang Lilan and I adopted you? I clearly already have two biological sons, so why did I raise someone else’s child?” As if seeing Gu Yao’s expression darken, Gu Weiming’s tone was filled with pride. “Perhaps you think that it’s because of Lu Yan, but no one knows our plan at all. We had already swapped Gu Zheng’s and Lu Yan’s identities. Did we adopt you just to show off how outstanding Lu Yan is? Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you’re around or not!”
Yes! Thinking about it carefully, Gu Yao was like an additional chess piece in Gu Weiming and Huang Lilan’s plan. Whether he existed or not did not affect the plan at all.
Originally, Qiao Xi thought that Huang Lilan adopted Gu Yao only to highlight how outstanding Lu Yan was and let Lu Yan obtain the inheritance more smoothly. However, if Gu Yao did not exist at all, Lu Yan’s rise to power might have been even smoother. Hence, they must have other motives for adopting Gu Yao.
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched. Gu Weiming directly revealed his plan of swapping his two sons in front of Gu Zheng. He was not afraid of angering Gu Zheng at all. He was sure that Gu Zheng was afraid that Gu Yao would be hurt, so for Gu Yao’s sake, Gu Zheng would not dare to attack him. Instead, he had to treat him well.
Gu Yao lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his emotions.
Gu Weiming’s voice carried a trace of sinisterness. “Gu Yao, you’re already the head of the Gu family, but you don’t have any relatives by your side. You must really want to know who your biological parents are! You must also want to know how your biological parents reacted after losing you!
“I can tell you clearly that it wasn’t a coincidence that you came to the Gu family. It was a conspiracy. Don’t you want to know who’s behind all this?”
Gu Weiming asked word by word as if he was a demon tempting the young man to fall into hell.
Qiao Xi’s eyes gradually turned cold. She and Gu Zheng had investigated Gu Yao’s background, but there were no clues. It was as if everything had been deliberately erased.
However, she remembered that Old Madam Yin had once mentioned that Gu Yao and Yue Tangqing were a little similar.
Yue Tangqing was a genius pianist from 20 years ago. The Yue family was once a reputable family in the capital, but because of some things, the Yue family fell bit by bit. Some of the descendants of the Yue family died, while others went crazy. Yue Tangqing also went missing.
At that time, Qiao Xi also had her doubts and immediately investigated the Yue family. However, when she found out that the Yue family did not have a missing son, she did not continue investigating.
Now that Gu Weiming said that Gu Yao being adopted by the Gu family was a conspiracy, it meant that Gu Yao’s identity was definitely not ordinary!
The surroundings were silent, and Gu Weiming became even prouder. He was sure that Gu Yao must want to find his biological parents, so he continued to deceive him. “Ah Yao, you know how I’ve been treating you all these years. You’re a famous good-for-nothing young master in Li City. Once anything happened, I’d help you settle it. No matter what you wanted, I’ve never refused. I dote on you as my biological son!
“You stole my shares today, but I don’t blame you. After all, this wasn’t your idea alone. As long as you return the shares and the position of the head of the family to me now, I’ll tell you everything about the past, alright?”
Qiao Xi frowned. If Gu Yao really returned the shares and the position of the head of the family to Gu Weiming, then all Gu Zheng’s efforts and plans would be in vain. However, Qiao Xi could also understand Gu Yao’s feelings. Who wanted to live without knowing their background?
Gu Weiming waited for a long time before Gu Yao slowly looked up and chuckled. “Dad.”
