Qiao Xi smiled. “Ah Zheng, let’s go.”

Gu Zheng nodded slightly in response.

Gu Weiming gritted his teeth and glared at the two of them. They were supposed to announce Ah Yan’s identity today but the birthday banquet had been ruined by Gu Zheng. Now, these people were forcing him to divorce Lilan!
Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to reunite the family. However, now that Ah Yan could return to the Gu family, Lilan had to be sacrificed!

“Gu Zheng! Stop right there!” Gu Weiming was furious.

Qiao Xi slowly turned around and sneered. “Chairman Gu, if you have time, why don’t you quickly settle your divorce procedures? There’s no point in taking your anger out on Ah Zheng.”

This sentence rendered Gu Weiming speechless.

The original plan was for the Gu and Lu families to work together and force Gu Zheng to admit that he had indirectly killed Lu Qingyun. Then, they would strip him off of his inheritance rights and assets. Now, however, the two families could not be as close anymore because of the incident with Lu
Qingyun.
If he had known earlier, he would not have kept this unfilial son with him!

Ten minutes later, Qiao Xi came out of the Gu family’s old residence. Just as she walked out of the door, a man walked up to her. “Miss Qiao, can we talk?”
Lu Yan looked at her warmly.

Qiao Xi sneered. “No!”

“Miss Qiao, please give me a chance.”

Lu Yan bent down and looked very sincere. “I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to talk to you about something important. You can leave anytime during our conversation if you feel that it’s not worth listening to me talk.”

Qiao Xi’s face was full of ridicule. “Mr. Lu, I don’t dare to talk to you. You’re someone who can even abandon your own mother. Who knows what you might do?”

Lu Yan was not angry and continued to smile. “Miss Qiao, do you really not want to know about… your grandfather?”

Qiao Xi’s footsteps paused as she coldly looked up.

Lu Yan took out a jade pendant from his pocket and waved it before her. Qiao Xi could clearly see the word ‘Xiao’ on it.

“Miss Qiao, do you recognize this jade pendant?”

Qiao Xi’s heart shook.

This was indeed her grandfather’s jade pendant. No one on the mountain knew his name. They only knew that he always carried a jade pendant with the word ‘Xiao’ on it.

‘When her grandfather went missing two years ago, he only took this jade pendant with him.

Qiao Xi investigated for a long time and found that the place where her grandfather had appeared was Li City, so she returned to Li City and investigated for a long time with her brothers and sisters. However, they got no clues.

Qiao Xi lowered her voice. “Where did this jade pendant come from?”

“Your grandfather personally gave it to me.” Lu Yan’s voice was gentle. “Miss Qiao, you really don’t have to be so hostile toward me. The fact that your grandfather gave this jade pendant to me means that he trusts me very much. Moreover, you’re my fiancée. I definitely won’t hurt you.”
Even though she had expected the answer, Qiao Xi’s heart still trembled.

Lu Yan smiled bitterly. “It’s all my fault. I didn’t come to look for you in time, which resulted in you and Gu Zheng getting married. However, our engagement was a fact. I just want you to know who I am.

“Tm the fiance your grandfather chose for you. Even if you don’t marry me, I won’t resent you or hurt you. We can still be friends.”

‘The air was silent for a moment before Qiao Xi sneered, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
“Lu Yan, you’re ridiculous.”

Qiao Xi’s icy cold words rang out. “Don’t think I can’t tell what you’re trying to say. You’re saying that you’re someone my grandfather trusts and that you’re the fiance my grandfather chose for me. You’re accusing Gu Zheng of stealing your woman, yet you’re still pretending to be magnanimous. You really
are a *sshole!

“Whether you’re my fiance or not is still up for debate. Even though Grandpa isn’t by my side, I still have my senior and teacher. Do you think I’l fall for your lies so easily? You think highly of yourself, but don’t treat others as fools. I’m different from other women. I won’t believe your nonsense!”
The smile on Lu Yan’s face gradually disappeared, and his eyes were filled with ferocity.

His pale fingers gripped the jade pendant tightly as he said in a low voice, “Miss Qiao, you don’t believe me anymore?”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly in her heart.

“since that’s the case, I won’t force you. But Miss Qiao, remember this. Since I’ve accepted your grandfather’s token, I’ll protect you according to his wishes. Whether you like me or not, I’ll fulfill my promise to him..”
