Chapter 380: Bid 15 billion

Qiao Xi looked at Lu Yan and raised her eyebrows, her face filled with ridicule. “I have to say that Young Master Lu is indeed capable. Even though you’re not capable of much, Chairman Gu dotes on you as if you’re his biological son. With just a word, you can get anything you want.

“It’s just that I pity my husband. Although he’s the eldest son of the Gu family, he had to start from scratch. He’s been in the business world for so many years.”

“You, you…” Huang Lilan was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched.

Anger had muddled her mind. She suddenly rushed over and raised her hand to slap Gu Zheng.

Qiao Xi stood in front of Gu Zheng and held her wrist tightly. She said in a cold voice, “Madam Gu, your son, Gu Zheng, is already injured. Are you still going to beat Gu Zheng up for Lu Yan?”

Qiao Xi’s gaze was gloomy and cold, causing Huang Lilan’s entire body to tremble. She was strong and calm. Meanwhile, Huang Lilan shouted, “Qiao Xi! Let go of me! Who do you think you are? Do you dare speak to me like this?! Guards!”

With Huang Lilan’s order, the bodyguards rushed in. She pointed at Qiao Xi angrily. “Chase this b*tch out! Ah Zheng! Don’t blame me for not showing you any respect! Your wife is really too arrogant!”

Everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to go forward to persuade her.

Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent, and she was not afraid in the slightest. She said casually, “Madam Gu, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that about you. You must have your own reasons for forcing your biological son for an outsider.”

Huang Lilan instantly choked and was about to retort when she saw Qiao Xi’s eyes turn red. She revealed a sad expression and cried, “Madam Gu, you’re Gu Zheng’s mother. Everything you’re doing is for the sake of the overall situation. I know all of this. I’ll persuade Gu Zheng to give up this plot of land.”

Huang Lilan immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Why did Qiao Xi suddenly change?

Before she could figure it out, she heard Qiao Xi say—

“Ah Zheng has earned so much money. He doesn’t need that plot of land in the northern suburbs. Li City is so big. Even without this plot of land, there are other places. There’s no need for him to compete for a plot of land that others will target.

“However, it’s different for Young Master Lu. If Ah Zheng doesn’t give it to him this time, he might not be able to recover from this setback and might even completely lose his confidence!

“I’ll persuade Ah Zheng to give this plot of land to Young Master Lu. Otherwise, Young Master Lu’s only chance of success will be gone. That’ll be too tragic.”

Huang Lilan’s pupils suddenly constricted.

Qiao Xi sighed. “Ah Zheng, actually, Young Master Lu is quite pitiful. He isn’t capable, and he doesn’t have anyone to rely on. Why don’t we just let him have it? What do you think?”

Huang Lilan burned with rage, and she was angered to the point that her entire body trembled. “Qiao Xi! Qiao Xi…”

Qiao Xi watched as Huang Lilan’s face alternated between red and white. She felt delighted.

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly smiled. “Madam Gu, don’t be so angry. Miss Qiao is President Gu’s wife, so it’s normal for her to speak up for him.”

He looked at Qiao Xi with eyes that were filled with gentleness. “Since it’s like that, then I’ll have to thank you first, Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Xi was speechless. Lu Yan was really shameless. It turned out that he did not say anything earlier because he wanted Madam Gu to stand up for him while he stayed out of it.

Now, he was smiling even more proudly as if he was sure that the land was his.

How shameless!

When Huang Lilan heard Lu Yan’s voice, her expression softened. She glanced at Qiao Xi with disdain and put on the attitude of an elder. “Ah Zheng, I’m doing this for your own good. This plot of land is useless to Gu Corporation. Why don’t you give it to Lu Yan?”

Then, her voice turned cold. “I don’t care if you’re willing or not, but you have to give up that plot of land! Your father is so angry that he’s sick. You’re unfilial!”

With that, she snorted. “Ah Yan, Ying Ying, let’s go!”

Lu Yan walked to Qiao Xi’s side and smiled. “Miss Qiao, we’ll meet again if we’re fated.”

After everyone left, Song Shijing went up to him and asked, “President, the Lu family is offering 10 billion now. Do you want to raise the price?”

Qiao Xi also looked at Gu Zheng. This plot of land would be Lu Yan’s in the end, but whether or not they raised the price depended on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng was calm as he said casually, “Increase the price. I’ll pay 15 billion..”
