Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

It was impossible for Gu Zheng to have evidence. Even if he had power and influence, he could not find the surveillance footage that had been deleted.     

Huang Lilan calmed down, and her eyes were filled with tears.     

"Ah Zheng, it's already come to this point, yet you're still unwilling to admit your mistake? It's my fault. I didn't educate you well. You caused Eldest Miss Lu's death, and the Lu family didn't pursue the matter. I only hope that you won't compete with Lu Yan anymore. Why won't you listen? Why do you have to…"     

Gu Zheng sneered and slowly stood up. There was a thick air of dignity around him that made one shiver.     

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiang and Huang Lilan with disdain. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up as he nodded. "That's right. I can't use witnesses to be my evidence.     

"Hence, I don't have witnesses as my evidence."     

With that, Gu Zheng waved his hand behind him.     

Song Shijing walked out from behind the bodyguard and said respectfully, "President."     

Lu Xiang saw the USB drive in Song Shijing's hand and her heart jumped.     

Gu Zheng curled his lips. "Lu Xiang, Huang Lilan… Guess what's inside?"     

Huang Lilan took a step back. "It's just a USB drive… Gu Zheng, did you fake an audio recording? I'm your biological mother, so I won't harm you. Don't put up a fight anymore!"     

Lu Xiang hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, Gu Zheng! It's useless for you to forge evidence. You have power and influence. This kind of thing isn't difficult for you."     

Song Shijing ignored the crowd and went backstage of the banquet hall with the USB drive.     

Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow. "You two are wrong. It's not an audio recording."     

Huang Lilan's expression softened a little. "Ah Zheng, as long as you apologize, the Lu family will forgive you. I've already been bearing the blame for you for so long, so you should bear it yourself now. The Lu family already knows the truth, so what's the point of hiding it?     

"You're the richest man in the country now. You have power and influence. Even if the matter is exposed, no one will say anything. How would they dare to offend you? This won't affect your career at all."     

Huang Lilan tried hard to persuade him before squeezing out a few hypocritical tears.     

Gu Weiming also said, "Ah Zheng, you've already grown up. What right do you have to make your mother bear the infamy for you? Ever since your mother entered the family, she has been called a mistress. It's time for her to clear her name.     

"You're now powerful. It doesn't matter if you have some dirt on you."     

"But Lilan…" Gu Weiming frowned. "She doesn't have any shares or status. We're the only ones who have been criticized by others for the past 20 years. Can you bear to see her be despised by others for the rest of her life? As long as you admit to this incident, your mother will be innocent.     

"Lu Yan has already acknowledged his ancestors, while Lilan and Lu Yan have a good relationship. The Lu family won't bicker with you about the past on the account of your mother as long as you apologize and give up your position as the heir. But you still won't agree? What else do you want?"     

Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. If Gu Zheng had really done what they claimed, then it was understandable for him to admit it, but they were clearly framing him.     

From the perspective of the Gu family, Gu Zheng was in a high position and had great authority. It would not matter even if he had a stain on his reputation. However, it was different for Huang Lilan. She had no authority or power, so she could not bear such a crime. Why could Gu Zheng not take the blame for his biological mother?     

However, was that b*tch Huang Lilan worthy of being Gu Zheng's biological mother?     

Huang Lilan continued, "Ah Zheng, be good. Are you trying to force me to my death?"     

"Madam Gu, why aren't you letting Ah Zheng take out the evidence? Why do you have to make him admit to something he didn't do?"     

At this moment, Qiao Xi's aura was fully released as she slowly walked up the stage.     

She raised her head high and observed Gu Weiming's and Huang Lilan's vicious faces. "You're pushing all the blame to Ah Zheng. Do you still have any shame?"     

"Shut up! You don't have the right to speak here!" Old Master Lu fiercely slammed the table and pointed at Qiao Xi as he cursed. Gu Zheng was about to cave into the pressure and confess, yet this b*tch appeared!     

Qiao Xi was not angry when she heard this, and she smiled indifferently. "Old Master Lu, what's the rush?! Are you not letting me speak because you're feeling guilty about something?!"     

Lu Xiang's expression changed. "Qiao Xi, this isn't a place for you to speak. You're Gu Zheng's wife, so of course, you have to protect him and defend him. There's no meaning to your actions!"
